Hell, I am a glutting for punishment I am in,,, will try and report back LOL here goes nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrich137:
The last official one from Koush (6.0.0.5) worked fine too, it was the one before that that was all messed up because he accidentally set the wrong permissions for the files. There were there, your phone just wasn't allowed to use it.

The last version fixed that issue, but people were confused about how to manage their backups due to his new system. I think this version just added the backup removal so that people could more easily manage their backups without accidentally messing something up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
Version 6.0.1.0 I was able to restore an older back up and also a new back up. Seems to be working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
I almost did the latest but man I'm hooked on the twrp 2.2.0. Being able to charge in recovery, have a keyboard, file manager, terminal, battery percentage, clock, etc has shown me new features I wish cwm had. Maybe if he is able to add some of these I can come back. All of these are nice features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
Best recovery I ever used was ext4 on the droid incredible 2. Easiest and rock solid I miss it. It would label your backup by the name of the rom automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrich137:
Just be careful if you decide to switch, people are having issues not being able to boot properly flashing my zip to go to cwm from twrp. If you do decide to switch, do it manually, or flash cwm through ROM manager first. I still need to test this and see if I can find a resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Oh naw. Had no issues flashing twrp. just curious if anyone say, made a backup, flashes a theme that didn't work and had to restore. Did it restore correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sjflowerhorn:
Flashed this earlier via ROM manager and it seems to be a slight bit faster and if backups really are going to be this advanced I Dont mind if its grey ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stillthisguy:
Was anyone going to get the newest version setup into a flashable zip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
It already was posted you need to read back just a little ;)

I am trying to restore a jb nan of jelly belly from another jb rom (aokp) and my phone will not boot past the google logo! I was on the 6.0.0.7 touch cwr. Please help my sd is not backed up. I cant get sdcard to mount and i cannot flash the updated recovery!

edit - had to restore a newer backup to get phone to boot. flashed updated cwmr. I'll see what happens after i try to restore old backup data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrich137:
Use the OP to download the newest recovery.IMG and flash in fast boot. Once you reboot in recovery try doing a wipe and then try to do your restore.

Just out of curiosity you didn't touch anything in the clockworkmod/blobs directory, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nweaver11:
Has anyone had success doing a Restore of JB ROM? I know a lot of people were having this problem and it was keeping them (and me) from upgrading. Is the issue resolved? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
I downloaded 6.0.1.0 classic directly from cloxkworkmod.com and fastboot flashed it. Have not had any problem doing a job restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demlv:
I upgraded to 6.0.1.0 after reading a number of reports like the one I quote here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_kwa:
I just made a backup of my JB rom, went to stock unrooted ics then rooted and restored backup, 6.0.1.0 worked for me 100%!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] destinydmm:
No i didn't touch anything in blobs. Also I couldn't get fastboot working at all. I was able to FINALLY recover an old JB rbackup. Flash recovery through ROM Manager and then reboot and restore etc.

Glad I got it but man was I pissed. LOL:eek:

Now does anyone know how one could use TiBu or App Extractor to restore my text messages with the new CWMR?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sic4672:
Happen to have a MD5 for it? I get MD5: 9C158AD933ED079BDAFF93F4131C43AE

Does this match anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] binglejellsx2:
I just want to confirm: By "older backups", is everyone referring to CWM 5.x nand backups restoring fine in CWM 6.0.1.0? Or are these "older" backups from 6.0.0.1 - 6.0.0.5 that weren't restoring properly before? I've stayed on CWM touch 5.8.0.2 while everything gets sorted out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xavier86:
Confirmed

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_kwa:
I backed up using 6.0.1.0 and then restored using 6.0.1.0

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lsantana954:
ok so here is my experience with 6.0.0.5

I flashed it via CWM Recovery and everything appeared to be working fine. I wanted to do a battery mod to my JB rom but for some reason i couldnt transfer the file from my computer to my phone, it kept giving me an error message so i decided to download to file directly to my phone. I then went ahead and did a back up and flashed the battery mod and everything was working as advertised. I then decided to try to restore the recent back up and it worked fine, did this 2 more times and it restored with no issues. Afterwards i tried to transfer the batt mod zip file from my computer to my phone, remember before it wouldnt let me, and it transfered with no issues. So as far as im concerned my most recent back up and restore is working fine, only issue i have now is that the batt mod isnt working as it did the first time i did it, but thats a different topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tu3218:
Has anyone experienced faster backup times? I thought this new version is suppose to create faster backups but it still taking about the same time as the 5.x.x.x series.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Mine was definitely faster
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BriVG:
After the initial back up with 6.0.1.0 my back ups are half the time than with the 5.x cwm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LocoTSX:
After installing 5.0.1, creating a backup, factory reset, and flashing a JB rom with GAps; I am receiving the same weird message that has been reported here about the boot loader. I've tried hitting no and yes, yet I still get boot looped back to TCWM. I'm going to try creating a backup of the JB rom which some have reported to work. Does any one have an idea of what could be causing this? I rooted using the toolkit btw.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skurvy_Pirate:
Anyone have problems with backups hanging? I am on 6.0.1.0 and when I try to run a back up it stays on "Done freeing up space" for a minute or 2, then it goes on to "Backing up data", but it never goes any farther than that. I have let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing happened. I had to do a battery pull and it wouldn't boot past "Google", then I cleared cache and dalvik cache and got it to boot up, but it was a little scary for a bit since the backup didn't work.

I am using the touch version and have flashed twice and checked the MD5 sum as well.

I am on Bugless Beast nightlies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
Have not had any problems with 6.0.1.0 and have made a few back ups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hullbay:
Thanks for reminding me, Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidzika:
Just wanted to share his:

I upgraded from 5.0xx cwm to 6.0. The nandroids I made with the 5.0xx version were successfully working under 6.0 I tested 2 of of he nandroids and they both worked. That was a few days ago.

Last night I unrooted and locked my gnex as vzw was walking me thru some stuff on my phone..mostly trying to figure out the issues with my data connectivity ..it turned out I really didn't need to unroot..but I digress.

I rooted and unlocked the gnex again. All went well. I attempted to flash my fresh nandroid (done before i unrooted and with latest cwm v6.xx)..the nandroid did not flash. The gnex was stuck on the Google screen...for at least 15 mins. I pulled the battery and tried to get into fastboot and cwm and that didn't work either. I still had the gnex toolkit running. There's an option on there to flash cwm, so I did. Rebooted and was still stuck on Google screen. I pulled the battery again and it was at this time I was finally able to get into cwm. First thing I did was do a fresh nandroid and then tried to flash the previous older nands.. none worked.So I scrapped them. But I finally got the gnex going.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Penutbutter_N_Jelly:
Same thing happend to me and I couldn't figure out a fix except to go back to ver. 6.0.0.5

If you let it sit eventually it'll complete the backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickrickstyles:
Same..Hung right at first then flew through
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skurvy_Pirate:
Another member PM'ed me (they don't have access to dev forum yet) and had the same symptoms. I let it sit for an hour and it eventually completed the backup. I have not tried another one so I don't know if it will be faster this time, but I sure hope it is. Before it would take about 10 minutes max.

Both of our blobs are around 5GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Quick question... Is there a flashable zip for the 6.0.1.0 recovery, or is it Fastboot only at the moment?

Galaxy Nexus - Liquid JB Alpha 6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidzika:
You can download the CWM apk here

Edit: Not sure if this is what you are looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
There is a flazhable zip of 6.0.1.0 in this thread look back a few pages.

Here you go: http://db.tt/IrOl72SK this is a copy of the flash able zip that was in this thread already. I did not make this zip file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skurvy_Pirate:
I'm starting to think the slowness may be coming from the internal SD card. I did a restore and it took quite a while. I noticed my pictures took an abnormally long time to load using Quickpic (which is usually very fast). I think I may backup my internal SD card and format everything then give it another go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skurvy_Pirate:
Well after 2 months of using and reformatting the internal SD card it is still very slow. Are other people seeing this as well? I like the idea of using blobs to save space and theoretically make things quicker, but in my case it is slower by like 10x.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mills00013:
Yes, sir, dreadfully slow here too. Slow slow in fact that I've chosen not to backup anymore. It's just not worth my time. I can setup a new install faster than the backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lw00d:
the only thing that is slow for me is the nandroid back ups.

but other then that no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Same here, backups take almost an hour+ ... That is just not happening. Is he going to update it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BriVG:
An hour? Mine takes about 5min give or take...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss2:
With CWM 6.0.1.0 (not the touch version), my nandroid back-ups take no more than 5-7 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Hmm.. could touch recovery be the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BriVG:
Don't think so, I'm using touch and its just as fast as the non-touch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Koush:
How many backups do you currently have on your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Currently zero. I deleted the three that I had thinking that could be it. Thanks for your reply. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kidromulous:
I'm also on 6.0.1.0 touch on grouper having the same problem with hanging at backing up data. Going to wait it out I guess. Haven't been able to successfully back up yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protibus:
I am having no issues with nandroid backup on CWM 6.0.1.0 touch. Average is about 5 minutes or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yahsaves:
I'm glad I'm not the only one. My backups take about half an hour. I can restore in 10 mins. Mine seems to get stuck at the freeing space part. Once it gets to the data backup it seems to go a little faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skurvy_Pirate:
It doesn't seem to matter if its my first backup (which would be slower since it is backing up everything) or an iterative backup (which should be much faster since it is only backing up changes).

I might roll back to the version before blobs since it is much faster. I wonder what is different with people who are/aren't having the problem.

What ROMs are people on? I have used Bugless Beast and AOKP nightlies and both have been slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protibus:
I have used about 4 different ROMs over that last few months, Mmuzzy, Vicious, Eclipse and now CNA 3.5.0. I haven't had the problem with any of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dustrho:
Just backed up CM10 (latest nightly) using CWM 6.0.1.0 and it took just under 5 minutes to do the backup. Not a problem for me.

Since this thread is kind of dormant, has anyone been using the TWRP recovery method? If so, did you make the complete switch to it or are you back on CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Tried twrp, had some restore and kernel install issues came back here. Wish koush would release a new version sometime soon but working just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
I used to use CWM. When I had a Droid X2 it was the ONLY custom recovery we had. And we had to plug into A/C power to even get to it. :p

Anyway I tried TWRP once when I got my nexus and didn't like it. I used CWM for the longest time. Then I got a replacement nexus and when I was trying to root it, I couldn't get CWM to flash for some reason. So I tried TWRP and it worked just fine. Been using it even since. Backup and restores take like half of the time they do in CWM. You can queue multiple zip files to flash (up to 10 at one time) so you don't have to constantly navigate through the menus. It also has the option to wipe cache/dalvik & reboot right after the flash without having the navigate around. Really straightforward and easy to use. I love TWRP more than CWM now a days. No offense go CWM it was great too, but TWRP all day son
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keeverw:
Is 4Ext recovery not available for the Gnex? I used it on my Tbolt and really liked it better than CWM, but I haven't seen anything about it on this forum so I assumed that it wasn't available for the Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gadget!:
I've been using CWM since I first started using Android. I've tried all the others and I always come back.

This app is the best in my opinion.

[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Its been said by some users that blackrose isn't needed:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28490846&postcount=5266

Or if you want to install blackrose,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28507018&postcount=5298

The reason behind using blackrose is because of some new partitions, which save space on the /system partition of the phone, in case you run out of space there (I didn't have this problem with the sense ICS roms I use on revolutionary hboot like yours)

If you can't install busybox or something in /system, you might need blackrose

Hope that helps :)

Ok, So I did some searching and I found lots of information, but I didn't really find anything that tied all of the information together. I am not new to rooting or flashing phones, but I am new to this phone. So Here is my problem. I have seen a lot of the "how to root" guides. But I haven't really seen a guide on how to know which method to use. I have a brand new phone that I got today before work. So I have no idea how to tell which root method to use. Any information regarding how to tell which method/root this thing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Its up to you, just follow the directions. I prefer odin from pc or sfhub autoroot package. I always have pc access though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revaew:
Using either of those methods, does it matter that I just got my phone and I don't know what software is on it? What if I wanted to try an ICS ROM or something? I am just a bit apprehensive.

So more reading and I figured out that I have the EL29 what ever. So I need to do this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

But am I right in thinking that I still need to install CWM somehow in order to flash custom ROMs? Also, does flashing a custom ROM increase the flash counter thing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:

Take some time and read read and then read again or you will turn you device into an expensive shiny fishing lure.

If you start off with sfhub's one-clicks you really can't go wrong. He has made it dead simple and safe and provided outstanding directions.

You can then use sfhub's Autoroot package to add Agat's 'safe' recovery with CWM.

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revaew:
So I see that the the initial autoroot, it doesn't increase the Odin flash counter. But flashing a custom ROM (like say I wanted to go to ICS) would increase the counter?

My friend one of the best pieces of advice I have seen here for you is too do some reading. Also why do you want to root your phone? If its for tethering you can simply install foxfi. If you want to try out different roms and tweaks then you really need to learn your phone. Developers, themers and contributors have set up thread after thread of great tutorials and answers to all your questions.

Welcome to android rooting world and you made a good choice but before I have to view another "I May Have Bricked My Phone" thread please read up and get up to speed on the craziness in here

Also to answer your question your counter only goes up when you flash an unsecure kernel through odin. Not when you use CWM

If I am not mistaken I believe that app is strictly for ICS.... I may be wrong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revaew:
I Have rooted 3 previous phones, I just am new to this one. I Haven't done anything yet and I don't plan on it until I understand this phone better.

Yeah my old phone was a samsung but rooting and flashing were way different. This phone is really easy though. Don't over complicate it, just read the directions and go when ready. Don't flash anything brand new or any alpha releases, everything else out there is pretty safe if you follow directions.

Okay, so i was trying out the Iris voice program and was fairly impressed with it. So i showed it off to my friend and that's where thing started to get ugly.
