I assume when you mean backup, you hit nandroid while in clockwork recovery? Am I correct to say that the backup files are located in the internal sdcard under the directory of /clockworkmod/backup/<foldername>? If this is the case, I'm not sure if I did it correctly, since the folder only shows 500mb worth of data.

On how to do a restore...

But, for this to work, you have to have the right update.zip file on your system's root right (by flashing Clockwork Recovery)? Because when you select "reinstall packages," what it does is install whatever update.zip is...right? Or am I way off and confused again.

leaked samsung rom...

So, jfd nandroid backups probably need a fresh flash from odin to restore jfd stock after having ji2 flashed and vice versa?

Hey guys, can any of you provide me with the recovery.zip (the one that actually contains clockwork recovery)? I'm dealing with a what I hope is a recoverable brick, but I lost all data on my SD, so there's no way for me to get the file. Thanks

i did partition with clockworkmode, after that i got no image after loading. i try odin to recovery original image and still stuck here, now way to fix this, does any one has any other idea ?
[Vibrant Android Development] masr1979:
Did you try to repartition using Odin? you'll lose all data from your sdcard though. My issue is that Odin fails to wipe my data partition for some reason.

yep i try that also and no go, fails to wipe my data partition , with red text/

[Vibrant Android Development] maximus-dev:
Sorry if this is a stupid question... but is the last backup ran by ClockworkMod stored as both a zip in date named folder inside the clockworkmod folder as well as the update.zip on the root of the internal sd card? I'm gathering this is the case as if you needed to recover with stock recovery, you'd need that update.zip there...

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] BossDj:
The only stupid questons are the ones not asked. The update.zip clockwork puts on your internal sd is a file that can be flashed in stock recovery that puts you into clockwork recovery, and then you can run your nandroid restore. I learned the hard way to let that file stay where it is. Thought I was smart and moved it, Got stuck in stock recovery one night with no way to get to clockwork, phone wouldn't boot, became good friends with odin that night.

Nandroid Backup question: I just installed Frankin-Twiz #3 w/ Voodoo Beta4 w/ ext4 file system. I noticed when doing a nandroid backup - the file is much smaller than when I didn't have the voodoo beta 4 / ext4 installed - can someone advise on this? I was just wondering if everything will be backed up? I've done a precautionary Titanium back up also. Mostly just wondering about the Voodoo ext4 stuff.

*Thanks ahead* Glen
[Vibrant Android Development] maximus-dev:
I wanted to come back by and share my appreciation for such a great application. I ran a factory restore with the intention of trying to run the OTA update that is causing everyone issues, but chickened out and ran a restore with clockwork instead. Worked like a charm!

Noob here

Hey guys, another stupid noob here. Rooted phone today. Downloaded Rom Manager. When I try to make backup of current rom, it reboots my phone into recovery menu. But I get an error in red that says "E. can't open /cache/update.zip (bad) Installation aborted." I'm just trying to make a backup that I can go back to if I uninstall bloatware and then later have to go back to stock for some reason. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] rudeguy:
you want to do a Nandroid backup.

Go into recovery and select nandroid > backup.

As far as going back to stock, the stock firmware is posted here. I just flashed back to stock because Eugene is uploading his new Froyo build and I want to have a clean start.
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
...The Froyo is finished? Including the bugged GPS and audio jack? Are they working? Is he uploading it now? That kinda makes me really excited lol.

EDIT: Tracked Eugene's Tweet. I'm SOOOOOO EXCITED NOW. LOL> I'mma go backup the phone and get it ready for a Froyo wipe. Sadly, it doesn't seem like they solved the GPS issue. GPS is completely dysfunctional apparently.

Noob question

I just flash the recovery and chose Back Up Current ROM. It was finished and where is the Stock ROM file? I mounted my phone and saw 2 update.zip (kind of). One in the root SDcard folder called update.zip and the other one was in clockworkmod folder called recovery-update.zip. Which one is it?

I wanna copy the file into my PC for back up. My bad for noob question.

Normal ROM Manager behavior?

Hey, folks, I have a question...

Quick background - my phone is rooted, the CW mod recovery works, and ROM Manager does backup my phone. (Very happy with those functions.) I have the latest ROM Manager Premium. Still running the stock Vibrant ROM.

The issue...

When I run ROM Manager and select 'Download ROM' ROM Manager on my Vibrant displays only the following:

Free

Extras

Cool Stuffs.

If I open Extras all I see is the c/d and e/f versions of Superuser 2.3.1

(I already have SU 2.3.6.1 installed and working.)

A month ago I thought no ROMs were listed because I had the free version. Yesterday I purchased ROM Manager Premium. Still no ROMs in the 'Download ROM' for me...

Is this normal?

I also get an error message when I click 'Web Connect' in the ROM Manager menu. "An error occurred while trying to set up your web connect account." (EDIT: Web Connect requires Froyo according to K.'s web page so NM that issue...)

[Q] Renaming nandroid backups

Can I rename a nandroid backup?

I want to rename a backup zip to something descriptive. Place it on my computer. Then, when needed, put it back onto the phone and still use it.

I suppose if I rename it I could just use "install from sd card" option instead of using nandroid.

Basically, I don't want to rename a backup and then not be able to use it anymore.
[Vibrant Android Development] stickplayer:
I can't get this to work on my t-mobile Galaxy S at all.

I downloaded/installed ROM Manager today. Should be latest.

I don't know what you mean by step 2 "flash recovery". there's nothing to flash. I have already rooted the phone today with current root stock rom. But there's nothing else to flash - certainly nothing called "recovery".

I'm not a linux guy - a phone USER, not developer. Can somebody give step-by-step on this, with exactly what one does? There's a bit too much presumed here for me to follow it.

FWIW, I can't get ROM Manager to even complete a straight backup. It accepts the backup request, reboots, and then hits the stock recovery menu, saying the "update.zip" file is "bad". restarting, ROM Manager never shows any backups under "manage backups". And I can do this over and over.

*edit*

ok - figured it out. See problem is, people with vast experience writing for others with vast experience - hard to take the view of somebody who's not at all familiar with it. So when you said "flash recovery", yeah, duh, that's an action in Rom Manager, but to me as a (non-Android) developer from other (non-phone) platforms, it means "get some firmware and flash it". So ok, figured that out, did the first backup, now it's doing the uber-thinking on the re-boot, which I was already warned about in an article elsewhere. I think it's sorted out now.
[Vibrant Android Development] bimmerboii:
I need some help.. So i rooted my phone, and downloaded Rom Manager. I created a nandroid backup then I started flashing the phone with the stock lockscreen/stock bootup&shutdown/Captivate Camera. Now I wanted to put the phone back to stock, so I restored from nandroid. After restoring, I wiped the phone (factory reset) but it still shows my phone is rooted? How do I get rid of the root? It's like the root has built itself in the factory reset.

Android system recovery <2e>

Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -

Anyone know how I should proceed to get ClockworkMod on my phone?

Ive recently gotten an insurance replacement Vibrant phone but its been running super slow and not working properly. like on friday, I couldnt answer the phone, make calls, hangup a call once I was able to make calls and stupid stuff like that. Sometimes the phone goes to sleep and will not wake when I press the power button.

So here I am trying to flash a new ROM to see if that is the issue. I have rooted the phone using the One Click Root exe file. I have also installed ROM Manager, however whenever I go into ROM Manager (most of the time it takes forever to load) it tells me that my SD is NOT mounted, even though I have mounted.

Am I doing something wrong?

Does not see SD card

Stock t-mobile vibrant rooted and installed ROM Manager from market (following the instructions on this site).

However it does not see my SD card, so backups only go to internal memory and no ROMs can be flashed from SD.

The phone itself has no problems with the SD card, just Clockwork .

The card is a 4GB class 4 (I know and a class 6 is on the way lol).

Stuck at Vibrant boot screen when I Reboot into Recovery from Clockwork

I just upgraded to the 2.2 AOSPish JK2 ROM and I have updated the Clockwork Mod app but when I have Clockwork Reboot into Recovery or try to Install ROM from SD Card the phone hangs on the Vibrant boot screen.

I am able to get around this by holding down the Down Volume button while the phone is attached via USB to my PC (I read this puts it into download mode) but it just boots up normal instead of into the Clockwork Recovery.

[Vibrant Android Development] pablizzo:
As long as you choose "boot to recovery" from the ClockWork app, then you only have to do it the first time. If you "adb reboot recovery" or use some other app to get to recovery, then you need to re-install packages.
[Vibrant Android Development] sicdroid:
I have the Same thing going on. I can manually boot into 2E, but going through ROM Manager to boot into Clockwork... Nothing. Boots into 2E, when it gets to the point it should jump into Clockwork...

Always reinstalling packages

I have been using ClockworkMod for some time and am familiar with how it works. I have a Samsung Vibrant modded with TW's Obsidian v3 stock kernel.

If helpful, I can include a logcat for debugging. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
that's normal behavior :(
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Normal, really? Interesting because on page 1, post 1 of this thread, by Koush himself, says "you should only have to do this once, After that it will be automatic from then on." So if it is NOT automatic "from then on" exactly as I am describing then either it is :

1. NOT "normal" behavior, indicating problem with program or ROM. BTW, I have used CwM with different ROM's, same results, always having to reinstall packages. This includes stock T-Mo ROM.

2. NOT "automatic from then on", in that case, a revision of the original post is required.
[Vibrant Android Development] 12paq:
Its normal behavior because you have changed your Kernel. Some jive better then others with clockwork and Rom Manager, some do not, reinstall packages is your friend for now. Some ROM / kernel combinations get clitchy. With so many new custom ROMs and leaks these guys struggle to keep up, if at all.

Cut 'em some slack and don't quote a July opening thread line to be right. These guys know more than us, at least me for sure and I for one am grateful for there Dev work. As I am sure you are.

fix permissions r broken using froyo...
[Vibrant Android Development] fvnktion:
Hi There,

Apologies upfront for being relatively newbish. I have a rooted vibrant that is running eclair.uvj16, 2.6.29 and now have clockworkMod 2.5.1.1.2 installed with the ROM manager. I have wanted to upgrade to the froyo builds and all instructions to do this use the ROM manager. I have installed the ROM manager and followed the instructions, but am running into some troubles.

these install directions seemed to work ok

Problem #1: I can no longer mount my SD card when plugging in the phone. When I plug in the USB the "mount SD card" options no longer appear. I can still use the files browser to view files on the SD card, but I cannot mount the drive on to make accessible from the computer.

Problem #2: /sd directory files are not available when browsing for "rom.zip" files in clockworkMOd. I have removed the sd card and manually added the "rom.zip" files that I want to flash to the root of the sd card. The files show up fine when using a file browser on the phone, but are not available in ClockworkMod "install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard->sd/". So it seems that for some reason the "rom.zip" files are not available when I enter recovery mode in clockworkmod.

The same problem is apparent when I use "install rom from SD card" when in ROM manager. I am able to browse and find the ROM which is: sd/update_4_2.zip. When rebooting into recover mode I get the following errors:

Am i doing something wrong? Do i need to use the partition sd card option from the ROM manager?
