Can u change the names on the backups I do with cwm without messing up my backups
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

No I haven't tried

Yes you can change them. There cannot be any spaces or un-supported characters like "/", "*", etc...
You can use underscores or camelCaseNomenclature to help make it flow / read easier for multiple words or numbers.
I have had trouble with this and always got md5 errors. Use ROM Manager to rename them as they are made. It works great.

Worst that would happen is an md5 error. Reboot would bring him right back.

I hate that md5 sum mismatch crap f'd me over one too many times and I make sure I only have 1 backup if any if I need it for data restore on an update for a rom.

When I install rom manager and run cwm it ask for my phone Samsung epic 4g or Samsung epic 4g (mtd) which one do I choose and does rom manager work for this phone being I bricked a phone before messing with rom manager

if you are on a mtd rom choose mtd. if your on a bml rom choose the first option

You choose Samsung Epic not MTD unless you have done the conversion or on a MTD ROM. If not on MTD then Install Clockworkmod at the top of the menus of ROM Manager. It installs the officially supported CWM on your phone which is uses regardless of the recovery that is on your phone. You should also find and flash CWM 5.027 zip so your phone's recovery matches for 3 finger salute. And yes it works fine now that the Epic is supported.
If you are on MTD ROM just hit menu key in ROM Manager and pick manual recovery or something like that and then choose Epic-MTD and clockwork 3.xxx.

ok please tell me what on earth went wrong here. I was stock deodexed el30 rom.. i tried install the zip of clean gb mtd, and when i did the system reboot, it rebooted right back to cwm 5 (the one that i currently have). am i missing something here? i thought when you go from a bml rom and install an mtd rom (other than cm7 or 9), that it should automatically convert.
The CWM that comes with MTD still says 5.0.2.7 even though it is modded for MTD. Did you change kernels? The reboot in the power menu may be broken for that kernel.

nope, i just installed the rom.. and decided to just go ahead a system reboot. should i also install the mtd kernel before rebooting? was that my mistake?
not all mtd Roms will auto convert however that one should. When you flashed the ROM did cwr reboot? It should have rebooted when converting to mtd. Maybe try reflashing zip

After I installed the rom, I just selected system reboot, and that's when it rebooted right back into cwm, so I tried again, the same thing happened.

My guess is a bad download. You will need to Odin with repartition checked, then root then redownload the CleanGB 1.12 MTD version and reflash.

Did you wipe first?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Not sure how it happened...well I do know....Flashed offical CWM for ROM Manager, but didnt think it took because it said I need a CWM compatible kernel. And then i used E4gtauto to add CWM-rogue because i didnt think I had it....so today when i booted into recovery from ROM toolbox, it went to CWM, did a nand and rebooted, but it booted into Rogue...? How can I get rid of one of them?
The nand you restored had a kernel with rogue on it. You should only have rogue on there now.
And I don't know if others feel this way, but I always only use the built in reboot menu or volume and power buttons(from off state) to go into recoveries and download mode, reduces issues

Please do yourself a favor and never ever use rom manager on this phone again, it will give you some shiny paperweight eventually
Thanks for the heads up, but what about ROM toolbox? It seems to be fine even rebooting into recovery among other things...

Can someone explain to me the pros and cons of switching to TWRP? I want to move to TWRP because it's new and shiny but I'm afraid about the part of the backups not being compatible with each other. Is there anything I need to know before I make the jump?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
... if your going to use twrp and not switch back... its not really any different other than backups not being cross compatible... but so what if your stick to twrp.

Isn't TWRP only compatible with some roms though?

Nope you can inject twrp after flashing any rom or kernel to retain the recovery...

It's not compatible with some programs like rom manager and titanium backup, but can be "injected" into all ROM setups. I stick with CWM because I love the way I can name my own nandroids from rom manager. That's a deal breaker for me if I can't.
I use TWRP on my Kindle because that was the method at the time. Like mentioned before you cannot rename your backups which can get really confusing. I see no need to use TWRP over CWM, and personally wouldn't use it if you had CWM already installed. It would be like taking a giant step backwards IMPO.

I use TWRP mainly because it's easier to navigate.

You can go into /sdcard/TWRP/backups/(ur serial number) and there will be a file folder that contains your backup all you have to do is rename it

Twrp is interactive, newer, a little easier to use as it is more straightforward.

If you rename a TWRP backup file TWRP will no longer have the ability to locate it. Or at least this was the case on my Kindle using the method described above.

I also couldnt get into clockworkmod. I had to odin back to stock PLZ DONT INSTALL ON MIUI LIKE THE IDIOT I WAS You could semibrick
Hello every, iv recently made the switch to TWRP recovery because of its ease of use and every single Rom seems to be recommending it as the recovery of choice. My issue is that when i go into Rom manager The option for CWM is still available. Its not that big of a deal since every time i boot into recovery it goes straight into TWRP. Its more of a nusence, I have all my CWM back ups saved on my computer so if i ever need to go back to it i have it there. I was just wonder how to fully delete it of the phone so it wont show up as an option. I deleted all the files i could think of off the SD card and the internal memory. I honestly dont know what else im missing. Anyone willing to help me out?? Please and thank you :laugh:
You sure Rom manager isn't suggesting you have the option to flash cwm over twrp? Try using goo manager instead. The backups you made with cwm if you are referring to backing up a Rom that it's called nandroid and will work with both

I posted a screen shot.. I have twrp installed and want to get CWM removed so it doesn't show up in the already installed category. I installed TWRP with Goo Manager and I thought it would delete CWM. But it didn't.

I am sticking with Goo but i just find it weird that it says i still have CWM installed when iv deleted everything connected to it.
I just tried Rom manager and shows the same thing. Pretty sure due to the app..

Hi everytime I flash an tw rom on first boot everything works perfectly but as soon as I reboot I get this error phone.android.com has stopped and it keeps doing it so force closing each 15 seconds..
I tried to reflash whit a full wipe various times different tw roms but it still happens??
Also while im at it dont feel like opening another thread I have cwm6 touch the latest and during a nandroid backup it says backup of /data has failed some sort of error ....
I really want to go back to tw tired of aosp any ideas?

Wipe everything and odin flash the root66 firmware. Start over from full stock rooted, but clean.
Run your nandroid again and write down the error. (Save log to sd).
Seems to me there is some corrupted data getting left behind. I'd format the external sd as well. But at least backup and delete the Android folder. (Contains 2 folders inside, data and obb). You can rename to Android-bak if you prefer. Do this before wiping and flashing root66.

The data error I had too, but on twrp and it's a known thing all over recovery threads for a while now. The error thing happened to me a while back but a root66 fixed that, you should also get the other bug fixed with in the same process.

Mobile Odin isn't hard to use at all. I highly recommend using it in place of cwm and twrp, except for when a nandroid is needed.
As for the cwm touch, have you considered trting twrp? Personally I prefer it over cwm.

There's no reason at all to be nervous about trying a different recovery. Thousands of people have been using it w/o issue. Personally I think they are both really good, I just prefer twrp. Give it a shot, if you don't like it, install cwm.
It shouldn't do anything at all to your current rom. Recovery is on a completely different partition. And you can install w/o flashing. Use goo manager for twrp or rom manager for cwm.
