1. Read original post of this thread. The developer has stopped support for this recovery and is no longer providing updates. This is my favorite recovery but depending on your model of phone and version of ROM this recovery may or may not work for you. Because of this, I would advise you test the backup feature before relying on it to restore anything. Backing up something of small file size and then transfer the backup over to your computer to make sure it is readable there.

2. clone ROM to update.zip will create a flashable zip file named "update.zip" that is intended to be flashed (installed from within recovery) and is supposed to be a clone of your ROM.

3. TWRP mode is only needed if you are going back and forth between clockwork mod (CWM) and TWRP type recoveries. PhilZ Touch is based on CWM and the two styles create and store backup files differently. If you are not coming from TWRP or planning to switch to TWRP you do not need this option.

4. you can backup EFS, radio and modem but the options are under the custom backups menu and those should be backed up separately from the other items. I wouldn't think you would normally need to backup preload but you should perhaps search for more information on XDA about what exactly preload is so you can make your own decision.

5. For most general backup purposes, backing up boot, recovery, system, data and cache will give you a complete backup that will help you recover your system if needed. You don't normally need to back up external SD card unless you run any tools that relocate apps to externalSD when they were actually meant by the developer to run in internal storage.

5. Since you are already using your phone, it is too late to make a backup that is exactly what your phone when you received it. However, for many phones you can download the exact stock firmware that would be used to restore it to that state. Or, since you are still using a stock ROM today you could simply restore a backup made with the stock ROM that has all your data and settings but do a factory reset and data wipe within the ROM settings.
[Android Software Development] shahkilid:
Thank you so much for your comprehensive answer ;)

1-about your advise (number1) I backed up using this option : "back up to storage" , and then copied created files to my pc. but I dont know are there working or not, this is the list of created files(path: clockworkmod/backup) : boot.img(16MB) , cache.ext4.tar (0byte), cache.ext4.tar.a (95KB) , data.ext4.tar (0KB), data.ext4.tar.a (836MB), nandroid.md5 (1KB), recovery.img (16MB), recovery.log (10 KB), system.ext4.tar (0KB) , system.ext4.tar.a (938MB).

2-I do not know the meaning of CLONE, what is a clone rom?

3-I decided to use TWRP last night! because this recovery is not responding! when I use "CLONE ROM" it says BACK UP COMPLETED and starts another process about something.ext4.tar and stops there and not respond to my touch anymore and I should power off the device.

4-I selected CUSTOM BACKUP and only marked EFS, but the resault was and empty folder named BACKUP and a file with sav extention about 202KB. when I opened that file in notepad, there was not eny thing important in it! and it was like a log!

5- your trick was usefull, I will do that way.

BUT I dont know my backed up files are working, and another question,

IT seems that I can use these backups only with this recovery, but I wanted to create a backup that can be restored via ODIN.

is there any way to do that?

thank you again.

[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
will depend on the device. If manufacturer updates boot parameters, you'll need a repack on a newer kernel. Happily, it happens only rarely

This can also happen when a device has its memory partionned again, very rare, except some HTC devices

Again, a kernel repack with new fstab will fix it

Recovery on its self will work on Android 5

Just a suggestion, could it be possible that, when you select "Install zip from sd card" just folder that contain zip files are displayed? I had that on 4ext recovery and was wonderful, because sometimes is a pain in the ass scrolling trought root folder until the botton just to select the files.

Looks great, I'll give it a try. :)
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
The feature is already implemented in the touch version. See pics. Also, once activated, in addition to default folder you can browse up or down to the root
[Android Software Development] MadMatt89:
I had an awesome idea:

can you create an option which automatically backups the files which are gonna be overwritten while doing a zip flash?

I mean for example if you flash a theme:

the recovery checks into the zip file which files are gonna be overwritten and creates a flashable zip of these.

so you do not have to do a cwm backup manually everytime.

options could look like this:

do you want to flash xyz?

yes - > do you want to backup existing files yes/no

no

Can you realize this?

Let us be clear. Windows disk management GUI formats up to 32 GB. Windows "native command" is called "diskpart" (which is command line) can format FAT 32 up to 2 TB.

- Reproduce your issue and while in recovery:

- Go to Advanced / Report Error
