Hi. Does anyone know how to backup ROM to ext-SD in CWM Rec?
I have not enough Space on internal and therefore the backup does not work for me.
Any suggstions?
Thanks.
EDIT:
I just found out that is working now, after reinstalling CWM and deleting the CWM Folder from internal SD.
Since i'm still on stock and I was supposed to place the rar file on the root, not the extracted files.. How do I remove all the extracted files??? backing up from my restore wont work because I did the backup after I placed all the files on. DOH!

With root explorer app of your choice. Or Odin back to stock.
in the CM10 rar is has 2 folders: system and meta-inf
When i copied it to the phone the system folder merged with system folder on my phone, along with all the other deeper folders.
So so i have to go through an manually select ALL the files that merged and arent supposed to be there since im still running my stock rom.
That's essentially my question.
Think you need to Odin stock firmware .tar image to format and restore system partition unless those folders are still intact and show as system/system and system/meta which is possible. They need to run the binary to split the files inside the folders. You only copied the folders to the root. Should not have split them up. I could be wrong. Not sure how you copied them to system root. Should have went to SD root. Can't access system root from PC via USB. Would have to put there with file explorer.
Download the original zip, explore all its contents and remove each one individually.

They should just be sitting on the sd card. There are no original system, meta ect folders on sd card to merge with. Has me confused. Can't access system root from PC without using ADB. Also if on SD root would not affect anything and would not be in backup. Just delete the main folders that were extracted from the zip from the SD card.
Agreed
i have no sd card. I installed abd then moved then extracted zip to the root of my internal memory. ATM i have installed CM10 and have no issues except for a huge chunk of my memory is gone.. if i delete the system folder from the root is it going to mess up a bunch of other things??

As long as it is on internal memory (SD) and not in the system partition should be no problem. If you mounted system in adb it is on or in the partition and not sure what to do except odin to reformat the partition. Some AOSP roms report the memory available wrong.
But he should have no issue finding it regardless of aosp storage issues. Op has no external, so he's either mnt/sdcard, internal, or usb storage. Emmc is out of play. Files should be clear as day. If you can put them on your root, you can take them off.
Agree with prdog, just Odin back if your unsure. But completely fixable.....
If I were you I'd give it more of a try without Odin just for the educational value.
Sorry, I suspect this will be a stupid question....
I'm just flashing a new ROM on my S6 and it's the first time I've tried it. The instructions say to copy the ROM file to the phone and then go in to TWRP and wipe everything. Would the ROM file not get deleted then too? Is there a specific place I should save it to?
Thanks
Hi, save the file to your internal storage (downloaded files to the phone should automatically be saved to the folder "Downloads" witch is already the internal storage)
When you go to twrp to wipe, select advanced wipe and just make sure you don't check the internal storage

My problem as it stands:
TWRP 2.8.6.0 is installed
The Pure XL will boot, load all the way into android, and load all the built in apps.
I cannot install apps, and the google play store sits in a downloading loop.
The internal storage is empty save for a twrp folder. I can still read and write to the internal storage via twrp
I believe what I have done is erase all the contents of the internal storage.
Factory resets with the 3-15-2016 OTA update does not restore these folders/files.
Biggest issue: THIS IS MY WIFE'S PHONE AND SHE WILL KILL ME IF I CAN'T FIX IT.
Was wondering if one you fine fellow/ladies would upload a copy on the internal storage folders and files from a clean install of the 3-15-2016 OTA update so that I can attempt to copy them manually into my internal storage.
I would also take any help in restoring these files myself if a straight copy of the files isn't an option.
Any help will be appreciated!
Sorry for my noob'ish questions.
Im thinking of installing another ROM.
So i currently have TWRP with root on stock OXY rom.
So if i put my flashble zips in downloads folder, will it be deleted when wiped from Twrp? Leaving me with a phone that is not bootble?
Not sure where i can place the new ROM and gapps files without them being deleted.
Any help bois?

Wipe excludes internal storage, unless you specify otherwise.
