Not able to make backup in CWM v2.5.1.3

Good evening to all of you geeks
(Gonna try to explain short since im not that good in english..)
As the title says im not able to make a backup of my system any more..
In CWM trying to make a backup this error is shown
"Backing up boot...
Backing up recovery...
Backing up system...
Can`t mount /system/ !"
Running CM7 Gingerbread PNK14, was about to update to PNK20 but wanted to make a backup first.
I`ve made plenty of backups before so i really don`t know whats the problem.
Any one have a solution ?
Thanks!

I had a lot of problems using CM7 with CWM v2.5.1.3. U need CWM 3.x

You need to update your Recovery to CWM 3.
As Android 2.3 utilities an EXT4 file system you need a recovery that supports it.

Ok thanks
Got a link to download ? can`t find it :S

[Q] I have a Simple question

As my name suggests I'm new to this stuff but I need some help...all I want to do is install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046027
I'm just not sure of the installation instructions..
Its says "Download and restore the Nandroid backup."
Does this mean download the 200mb zipfile ? If so how do you 'restore' it ?
I think I know how to wipe the data and get into bootloader mode (i've already installed froyo 2.2.2 with RSDlite using a large sbf file but it looks just like 2.1)
Also when you 'flash' something is that usually with RSDlite ?
I hope i'm making some sense here, any help very much appreciated.

I think you need to restore then wipe follow with flashing sbf of the same firmware. Restore using custom recovery and flashing with rsd4.9.
P/s: are you the hero of PSP modding world? As your name the same with the guy in psp forum.

Make folder name \goapkrev\backup on your sdcard than unzip Nandroid in the backup folder.....And than from custom recovery..Flash nandroid from restore option and than boot with Fixed SBF from RSD Lite..
Sorry for English..

Still cant get it to work, thanks anyway.
Hero of the psp modding scene?? Nahhh

nandroid,what hapend??

Hi all,
before I flashed custom rom did nandroid backup,flashed custom and now....
had wish to try stock froyo and just flash oc-ed kernel but now I see my system.img is 0 kb??? what happend here???
boot.img 2.816 kb and recovery 4.224 kb and ofcorse cant RESTORE now
what to do now?

Where's data.img, cache.img?
EDIT: Not that it will help ofcourse, Just curious. It's a fubared backup anyway, and it cant be helped.

hm....no data.img

I know there is no help with this backup... but how this hapend,why?
BUT i belive there was full back up when i make it,after uploaded to my dropbox...could by upload somehow all missing data loss somehow..dont understand what hapend

It shouldn't be the issue with recovery or backup as you agreed that there is full data just after backup.
I think there is some mistake while uploading to dropbox. I can't find a 2nd reason.

yeah...strange so many times backed up roms and newer hapend this....SO DOUBLE CHECK next time as a tip to others

Yes, and browsing through all my previous Nandroid backups, theres one bad backup for me as well, with System.img as 0kb.
So, Just echoing what you said. Verify your Nandroid backups.

that happened to me when I tried to restore a backup. I copied a prev twrp backup to my internal hd and failed over and over. I fixed it by creating a new backup in twrp and just replacing the files of that backup with the backup I actually wanted. I think it was due to a permissions issues. Another difference tween my first and second attempt was i originally tried to flash from internal drive second time it was from sdcard.

[Q] Can't Flash the Stock Nandroid Backup

Hi Guys
First time poster here so hello from me, need a little advice please, I am trying to unroot my HTC One M8 (ATT) and I was going along quite nicely using the unlockr guide and then got to the "Flash the Stock Nandroid Backup" part and I am stuck big time!
Long story short I just can't find the files when I boot into recovery, I downloaded the stock stock Nandroid backup unzipped them or RAR and put it in the /TWRP/backups/ folder which I had to create the Backups sub folder. Then I boot into recovery mode and nothing, it can't see the files, I have the correct files I double checked I got the correct one but it just can't see it.
Anyone had this issue, I bet I am doing something stupid I just don't know what!
Help
Thanks
Stuart

If anyone could help me with this you would be doing me such a big favour, will be traveling tomorrow overseas and hoping to get it taken care of before I go. Thanks again
Stuart

It will be TWRP/backups/youserialnumber. Go into TWRP and make a back up of your boot partition. That should create the folder that you need to install your nandroid backup zip to.

Thank you so much for the reply, I did try earlier to try make a copy of the boot partition but I have never done it before and it didn't work out very well. Any advice or apps recommended please?
Thanks
