Hello all,
I have been trying to resolve this issue since I rooted and installed CWM on my Epic 4g Touch. I've searched through all the other threads but see to have a copletely new issue with recovery. When I try backing up my existing rom, the back up gives me this error message "Error while backing up boot image/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log Please open rom manager to report the issue"
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
Don't use ROM manager.
Install CWM using the Auto Root sticky.

I would just uninstall. There are simple equivalents for what you need done that have been tested extensively with this phone.
Still won't let me backup
I did the CWM through autoroot, now when in recovery mode and trying to perform a backup I get "Error backing up boot image! (Free space: 0mb)"
I reinstalled the Rogue Recovery from autoroot and tried again, but recieved the same error message...
Any idea what's going on here?

Go into mounts and storage and unmount the sd and it will use the internal...you may have to do this every time...is your external broken or full ?

When I'm using RA_GNM recovery instead of CWM and reboot into recovery, how do I scroll down past the last file. I can only access whats shown on the page and I know that I put the .zip file on there cause they aare there when I switch back to CWM. Thanks
Great now I dont know what to do. I partitioned my sd card and now I can't get to my nand restore.

You can go in Rom manager and at the top of the main page it says flash clockwork mod recovery tap it and let it load and there you go..... about the file you downloaded are you looking in the download folder?

How many backups do you currently have? Remove some old one to make room for new ones

Did you rename the file? If you did, it needs to not have any spaces. Soithastolooklikethis.

sd is full
My guess it's because your sd is full, make some room and try again. Backup important files to your pc and save a couple gigs for the space the backup needs. Also, I have found that backing up from the rom manager app and rebooting recovery and backing up from cwm recovery produces different md5 sums, so I generally only backup while in recovery and not from the rom manager app itself.
hi folks,
thanks for the replies but the sd card isn't full as i've formatted it so there's no way the external is full.
come on, i'm not that big of a noob

I've done tons of back ups in the past month, and restores, but I just recently started getting the error as in the op, and now it runs until it gets to image back up, and says it errors backing that up, and then quits. I have 6 GB free on my card, and I only keep the last successful back up in case of fails like this. I haven't changed anything on my own, and the same ROM I backed up last week I now can't. Somewhere something went bad I'm guessing, but I'm glad it's not me that did something wrong. I will try an internal save to see if that works. If that works then I will wipe my card's CW file, and try a fresh one. Maybe just doing a complete factory reset, and fresh new ROM will do the trick. I'll keep ya all posted since more than one is having this issue.

I had the same problem. To solve it all I did was open ROM Manager and reflash CWM.

No go for me. Just re-flashed CWM, and it still fails trying to back up image to either internal or external. ugh
Well I flashed a new rom from scratch, and now it works again. The old one must have gotten corrupt.

I cannot make backups to external as well. I am on Rom Manager V5.0.0.7 .
Has anyone tried twerp recovery for backups???
I ran into problems trying to make a Nandroid backup.
Currently on CWM 5.5.0.4, Odin 3.04 and stock Rom.
I go into CWM recovery....
I select backup and restore....
I select backup....
Then I get "Can't mount backup path"
I hope I just forget something simple here.
If you guys could help, could you kinda try and make it in simple terms. I am really trying to learn this stuff, but I am just starting out, so sorry for the novice level guys.
I did try and google some info, but I feel even more confused now.
Any help would be great.....
thanks guys!!

Use this newer CWM Recovery
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM_TOUCH_7-12/recovery.tar.md5
You can flash it using Mobile Odin or Odin on your desktop.
You can find instructions on how to flash that here

The first solution to any recovery problems should be to check if there is an update to CWM, which fergie716 already linked to. This is why they release updates... because sometimes things are broken (and they only pop up in unique circumstances).
Also, I personally use TWRP, and always recommend it. I have had no issues with TWRP (when I keep it up-to-date). But I always throw in the disclaimer that backups made with CWM will not be able to be restored in CWM. If you have too many backups in CWM that you want to keep, switching to TWRP might not be up your alley.

The main reason of this problem is SD card
I was also getting this error...

Need some help guys. I wanted to try out TWRP and was currently using CWMR 5.5.0.4 so I flashed and everything went fine. Didn't really like it so I odin back to CWMR. Now in CWMR it won't see anything on my ext sd card. All my files and my CWMR backups are there and usually when I go to restore I would have the option to restore from sd card or internal sd card. Now I only have the option to see my internal sd card. How can I get my CWMR to see my ext sd card again? Also I was looking for a newer version of CWMR but could only find the odin version of 5.5.0.4. Thanks again guys for any help.
A lot of the first cwm recoveries don't support external sd. Upgrade to at least 5.8.4.5.

What didn't you like about twrp?
It does the same thing but is touch screen.
I love how I can just flash without manually going into download mode too. Goo manager does it all automatically for you through twrp

what did you do to fix.. trying to search forum. .but cant seem to find answer for mine... i went to go install new rom.. i did my normal wipes.. wiped cahce/davlik/factory reset/system.. then rebooted to recovery and wiped agian.. went to install and now TWRP is not seing my external card.. i had another rom on my internal and installed it .and still not able to see anything on external.. even in root explorer... any thoughts how to fix?
I just updated CWM to 6.0.2.5 and its not reading my external SD card. (32gb).
example: when i try to install something from the external sd i get an error message "E: Can't mount /external_sd/
so i go back and go to "mounts and storage" and select "mount /external_sd and im getting the error message "Error mounting /external_sd!
i rebooted my phone and went into my gallery and all of my sd card contents are still there and playing...
any way to get the external sd card to work with CWM 6.0.2.5???
I had the same issue with cwm I'm sure a lot of people running cwm 6 did as well. I don't have a solution. I would switch to teamwin recovery if I were you..I'm running 3.2.2.x I've had no mounting issues or aroma sticking issues. Until theres a fix for c.w.m 6... I'm on team win. Hope this helps.

Life after CWM
I have been a life long CWM user and lover but after today I am a TWRP fan for life (until something better comes along). I was in a panic until I found this tread! My external_sd was not mounting in CWM. I flashed TWRP from goo manager right over CWM and boom - external_sd is alive and well.

TWRP version?
What version of TWRP you got? Latest TWRP also not working for me? If you can tell me the version you are using, that will greatly help.

The app is called goo.im, it is in the play store. once installed and open hit you menu key and bring up the settings drop down, fourth option should be install OpenRecoveryScript, hit that and fallow the steps, it will overwrite CWM. That is what I did. Flash at your own risk. Good luck. I attached a screen shot of the menu.
