whats do you guys recommend for renaming backups? I always used rom toolbox pro but it cant detect my backups since they are now stored at mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup. I tried rommanager but its buggy, it will only let you rename the backup once and after that you will get errors. It also wont let you delete the backup via rommanager you have to boot into recovery and do it there.

I converted to TWRP and rom toolbox pro as rom manager and CWM don't work with 4.2 jellybean, tested rom manager 5.0.2.4 and CWM 6.0.1.5 and still doesn't backup and restore properly on stock rooted 4.2 JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
Freaking out over here and not totally understanding the directions here. I did a CWM backup(6.0.1.4) and then wiped+flashed a 4.2 rom. Then I flashed CWM 6.0.1.5. Now I want to restore back to my 4.1 rom but it says there's no backup there. What do I have to do to restore back to my 4.1 nandroid? Need help ASAP...lol

EDIT: I think I got it working. Just calmed down and read stuff over again. I just had to move my clockworkmod folder into /data/media. Restoring right now...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehgeekguy:
Threw this together for you guys.

You can do this yourself too. All you need to do is take an older flashable CWM file, replace the recovery.img with the new recovery image, and if you want you can update the updater-script to show the new build number. Save it and change the file name. There you go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
thanks man but can you explian this "and if you want you can update the updater-script to show the new build number"

what the use of this and how to do it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I just tested it out. my backups were very tiny. I assume it is incremental, but incremental to what? A previously made random nandroid that was made with an older version of CWR?

I think this is probably one of the problems people are having. If you moved your backups from CWR's default folder then maybe it will make a full backup (since the folder will be empty).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uansari1:
Has anyone been able to mount the storage while in this recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rekrapg:
I see alot of posts about restore issues. As this is an alpha release, this means it's here showing bleeding edge stuff still in test phase. So, I suggest prior to complaining about restore not working for example, set yourself up a proper test environment.

Prior to flashing:

1. Do a backup with latest release CWM (or TWRP)

2. Move this backup to another location if in CWM - another folder on SDCard

3. Leave standard backup directory on SDCard completely clean

After flashing:

1. Run a backup

2. Restore this backup. This will assure you have a clean fully working CWM 6 backup in place. If this fails, then yes Houston, we have a problem

**potential issue: lost su, had to reflash

3. Use OS for a few hours or a day, whatever it takes to get some data changes

4. Run another backup - this one *should* be incremental and much smaller

5. Restore this backup. You will now know if incremental is working for you on restore, in a clean backup environment (no old CWM backups)

**potential issue: lost su, had to reflash

Just my 20c worth, take it or leave it ;)

EDIT: Green is where I have completed successfully ATM, will update in an hour after testing next phase.

EDIT2: No boot loops, no issues, other than the su issue. Will retest again later to verify if replicates, although replicated on both first and second restore, i'm running superuser 3.2 RC2. Superuser app remains, su not available after restore.

EDIT3: su lost each time I restore, Superuser app remains. will try again with SuperSU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I deleted all my previous backups and started fresh. The backup is still tiny... what I noticed is there's a blobs folder within the cwr folder with tons of files - almost a 1GB of files. Kinda a weird way to have backups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rekrapg:
I think that's the method for incremental backups, if they were zipped as per previous versions, the process for unzipping/file compare would probably be longer than the full backup/restore process. This way, it speeds it up alot. It may seem like a large folder atm, but you can imagine in say 5 backups, it would generally have to be smaller than 5 full backups, as only changed/new info is added to that directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I figured it was for the incremental backups. Still seems like an odd way to do it considering multiple backups of different roms; it would make backing up your backups (in a portable sense), very difficult if all those blob files aren't separated into folders for specific roms/backups. Unless I'm not understanding how it works. But it's only an alpha, so maybe things will change a bit to make it easier to get rid of backups, or move them off your phone for storage.

edit: Not that I am complaining how it is (it's alpha - i know). But I think it would be better if there were 2 backup methods the user could pick. full backup and incremental backup. And for incremental backups have the blobs in a subfolder for a specific rom; ex;

/cwr/backups/CM10/blobs

/cwr/backups/CM10/07112012 - backup

/cwr/backups/CM10/07122012 - backup

so all those blob files pertaining to CM10 would be in their own folder for which the backups are associated with. Now if you wanted to backup a specific backup (or backups) off of your phone, you could just zip up the rom specific folder containing those blobs, and the other backup files.

Just my 2 cents :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decalex:
hmm. any recommendations here?

Made a backup (with 6.0), flashed Pete's new JB ROM, then went to restore Bigxie's (backup), stuck at bootani.

Have wiped all (including /system) in between. Just tried flashing BigXie's zip on a clean wipe, and still stuck at bootani. I wish adb logcat worked, so I could see what's actually going on, but kinda at a loss right now.

Love that incremental backup feature, great idea and seems to be working perfectly well! Great work, many thanks!

One question: Given that new backups reuse part of prior backups, how do I delete old backups (without crippling new ones)? The GN hasn't that much memory available to just leave all backups there forever :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rikk.hoff:
Hi,

i installed CWM half a year ago using "Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4". since then i flashed various roms (PA!!) with it and did various backups and also restores (when having nasty bootloops) and it always worked GREAT. as "Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4" installed it for me via usb from a PC i have no idea how to actually install it myself or how to upgrade it to a newer version.

noob question: can i use the .zip above and flash it with the currently installed (rather old) version of CWM?

thanks for helping me with this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Why doesn't rom manager just add the new update to their app seriously we shouldn't have to search every time for it an fast boot flash it every time just to get each update, wish I never paid for rom manager premium, at least with TWRP you can flash every update with goo manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehgeekguy:
All it does is change the text in the script that shows when you're actually flashing the zip, nothing more. You'll get the scrolling text when you flash it, and this changes the text that shows. No harm if you don't do it.

To be honest, I've never used the Root Toolkit, I do everything manually. However, there shouldn't be a problem that I'm aware of by updating your recovery by using the .zip file. You flash it like you normally would flash a zip file. Being that I haven't used Root Toolkit to flash stuff (it does that, right?), I can't really give you instructions on how to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ACHILLES R32:
Update scripter just has the version name so if you are using an older zip to flash the new recovery.img it will still display previous recovery version number. You can open updater-script via note pad and change version numberand save it. To change it open cwm zip go to Meta-Inf/ com / Google/ android/ updater- script
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdw55a:
Yea, I used it too and it works. But I can not delete the backups for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I don't have time to make up a legit looking changelog right now, but...

6.0.1.6 was the same as the 6.0.1.5 the GN got, but just the revision bump for the N4 and N10 initial device support, -1.7 had more backup completion logging, support for fallback to single buffering (video?) if dual buffering fails due to it being out of memory and a potential fix for mako (N4), -1.8 just another revision bump, no changes, -1.9 reverts the mako hack fix.

Check it out, it's pretty easy to follow along:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/

Basically there are no real differences relevant to the GN or Android 4.2 since our official 6.0.1.5.

I expect we'll see a 6.0.2.0 soon as well, so no reason to jump all over these nightlies. Let's wait and let the dust settle. It also might be a good time for everyone to harass koush with our bugs/suggestions for the backup format submenu, adb sideload confirmation and a screen off option for when we're doing long adb pull/pushes to prevent burn-in.

i start to wonder..

after we flashed the latest cwm, should we expect multiple /0 folder? or it will only create /sdcard/0 once, and will never increase even reflash other rom and wiping data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maciek82:
I just read the last few pages and didn't see my answer. So now there is /sdcard/0 and /sdcard/clockworkmod?

It seems that all my backups are stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod and this is not accessible through 4.2 GUI, correct? I can only delete my old backups from the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder though CWM.

Thanks

is CWM and TWRP backup are compatible each other?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Negative. They use different back up formats.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehgeekguy:
Honestly, the 0 folder "issue" makes sense if our devices actually supported multi-user like the tablets do.

Think about it. User 1 has /sdcard/0, user 2 has /sdcard/1, user 3 has /sdcard/2, and so on. Since the data isn't shared across users, if you were logged in as user 1, did a backup, then logged in to user 2, your backup wouldn't be available.

What Koush did was put it in somewhat of a "shared" folder, so all of the users can access it. Granted, it doesn't make much sense on the Gnex since we don't have multi-user... but when you think about it, it really makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Exactly. Thank you. :) :good:

And it's the same way TWRP does it as far as I know, so they're both equally working. The only thing people seem to be having a weirdly hard time getting their heads around is that their old backups (which are now) in /sdcard/0/clockworkmod need to be moved back to /sdcard/clockworkmod, and that's best done in adb shell when booted to CWM. Now I guess we're dealing with the toolkit generation here or something, but really, people, it's not that difficult.

And I don't think having to delete the backups from within CWM instead of your favorite root manager is as big of a deal as people are making it to be.:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mayastig:
i just installed 6.0.1.5 yesterday and flashed 4.2. is there any difference if i upgrade to 6.0.1.8? The noticable difference i saw is all my sdcard contents are now in a folder called sdcard/emulated/..... will 6.0.1.8 use the same folder or cause any issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah that folder mount change when booted is 4.2 related, not CWM. Official 6.0.1.5+ have been all about accommodating those 4.2 changes. Like I said though, 6.0.1.8 is fine, but there aren't any really GN relevant changes since official 6.0.1.5 yet.

It went up 4 revisions in 2 days, so koush clearly has this in a state of flux at the moment. I'll upload a new nightly once it's clear the dust has settled and if koush hasn't already made another official release himself. :good:

And as I said already, since koush is being so active with the source right now it also might be a good time for everyone to harass him with our bugs/suggestions for the backup format submenu, adb sideload confirmation and a screen off option for when we're doing long adb pull/pushes to prevent burn-in:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Sorry guys but I don't have much developer left in me any more and all of this file structure talk is a bit daunting. I've read a lot of this thread and maybe I just don't understand all the sym linking.

At first I thought I understood that after 4.2 the proper place for the cwm files was /data/media/clockworkmod . Then I read that they should be in /sdcard/clockworkmod.

Doesn't /data/media/0 and /sdcard point to the same place? Can someone please explain the difference in the two and where the CWM files should permanently reside on 4.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
/sdcard/ -> /data/media is a symlink, so that's the same place. When you're booted it points to /0/ because you are user 0.

Guys /0/0 has been fixed since 6.0.1.5 official so I don't know what you're all taking about. The only thing is if you already triggered it a few times you've already got the bad folder structure so you need to move them back, that's not CWM's problem. Also, as I said the new nightlies don't really add anything yet and koush has pushed 4 revisions in 2 days, so there's no point jumping on them until he's slowed down. The reason it's not on ROM manager is because it's an unofficial nightly. 6.0.1.5 is still the latest official.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk8oldschool74:
I look at it this way every zero is a clone of your original file system only it is empty until you start downloading things pictures music what not then the new clone file system starts filing your stuff only your previous stuff before the clone is not in the clone its still in the true file... so say you flash a new ROM it begins again w/ a new clone or O file and now its empty so say you backed up your ROM before you flashed and you go to try to restore your backup its not there because its in the first clone file and since you flushed a rom you can't get to it because now you have a new file system... I hope this helps lol. See I have 0/0/0/0 pluss my original filesystem... now say you back up your ROM but don't flash a new ROM say you back it up before you flash a mod and it doesn't work you can go into recovery and restore your backup... its only after you flash a ROM that a new file system appears....
