Ever since flashing the new touch recovery I cannot create a back up of my current rom in CWM. Any suggestions or theories as to what I might have screwed up.
I really want to flash some of that tasty ics but I dont want to do anything without a backup first.

Thats what I have been reading do you know where I can find the old CWM recovery?
If anybody has an old CWM recover can you pm me or post a link all the old links seem to be dead
rom manager should have an option for you to revert to an old version of cwm.
Sent from my Galaxy S II
Yes, you should download rom manager from Google Play and downgrade CWM.
When I try to flash a different recovery through the app it says no legacy recoveries found

I saw CM9 was out and tried to use Rom Manager to upgrade. I was previously rooted.
It prompted me to install ClockworkMod first, which I did.
Then I downloaded the ROM (prompted me to select T-Mobile Galaxy S2)
Rebooted to take a backup, phone flashes Samsung once and then black screen.
How badly did I screw up?
First off why are u using rom manager to flash a rom? Rom manager is not a reliable app u should do it manually in recovery
The better way to ask would be how can I fix this, not how bad did you screw up. Hence the unhelpful answers.
Can you get into download mode or recovery manually with a battery pull and the right key presses?

Great answer to the question though... I wont blast you but honestly rom manager has been the cause of more problems for the very thing you just did than I can imagine. Leave that app alone and learn how to do things the for the lack of a better word (hard way). It is way more gratifying believe me.

You are right as well but ya know what a couple of smart ass responses to someone in this case will stick with him and hopefully he will never make a move like this again...
Ok now to help you, see if you can get into download mode and odin a recovery onto your phone. If not try and odin back to stock and start over from scratch. I am sure you have a backup on your phone so you can always restore that.
Now while your phone is being fixed do some reading up before you jump into things. Flashing is an addiction but it can also be a very expensive habit (If you know what I mean)
Edit: Just noticed Florida is up in here thick!
I've been flashing roms since MyTouch3G and Windows Mobile days.
I just thought Rom Manager was more dependable than that. It even prompted me for my device type...
I'm unable to get into recovery but I am able to get into download mode, so I'll revert with Odin and reroot this evening...

Yeah, I got it sorted out after I got home. Just re-flashed recovery, it's all good now.
Thanks everyone.
Looks like you had better luck than me, Rom Manager bricked my phone when I told it to do a backup.
Hello,
I am having issues with the new recovery mode 6.0.14, how do I roll back to the recovery mode before this?
I updated my recovery using rom manager, it does not give me the option to roll back
thanks
Which one you want? I have 6.0.1.3 by sk8r and its touch. I can upload it but other than that you gotta download the one you want and flash it in recovery..
I used ROM manager and went back to 5.xxx

I had the same issue, this is what i did...
open ROM manager, scroll to the bottom you will see a option that says something about all recoveries, click that it shows 5.0.2.6 and 5.0.2.7, the .7 is the one you want, hit that and it will install that for you..
worked for me

Hello,
So I've been rooted for a while now, i was going to install a custom rom but decided not to a few months ago. Tonight, i decided to install aokp, however my phone would not go into cwm, only stock recover. I could have sworn it was installed, but fine, so i installed it once again with auto reboot in odin checked, and it still wouldnt enter cwm. I then tried to install it again with auto reboot checked off so i could see if i could enter it without the reboot. I ended up getting into it, but then when i was taking a NANDROID, it just froze on one of the first steps. Fine, reboot, try to enter cwm again. Nope, just stock android recovery. I am sure im installing it correctly and pressing the right button combos. I am at a total loss for what is stopping me from being able to enter cwm. I hope you guys know/help me find whats going on.
Thanks!!!

maybe you didn't actually "root" your phone to begin with lol
are you sure you have "superuser" or "superSU" app?
anyways to get CWM or TWRP recovery you need
find a up-to-date CWM or TWRP (if i spell teamwin recovery correctly)
download it
put your phone in ODIN Mode (download mode) by power + vol down + home
flash the recovery
i personally think twrp is better
they just released a new version which support ExFat
and all you need is just use terminal on your phone to install it.

if you still want cwm then i guess you can try flash stock rom and root it again and see
since you're going to flash a custom rom which will delete all your data anyways

Stock ROM has a built in script that reloads standard android recovery when it boots. The only way to keep it is to keep Odin auto reboot unchecked, boot directly in and make your nandroid/flash custom. Once you are on a custom ROM CWM will stick.
On a side note TWRP is a very nice recovery and many people find it much easier to use. If you insist on CWM, make sure you have the latest version. You might need to flash CWM again if you had a bad flash. It shouldn't freeze up on a nandroid.
Many people never experienced this because they flashed during early ICS when the device was released. The change was an update just before JB was released which caused this little annoying script to appear.

Thankyou!! That makes sense ;p. When I did get to start making a nandroid last night but it froze, right before it froze it said the free space on my sdcard was 1612 mb (or something like that) This is wrong, I have the 16gb i747 so I have 11.95 gb of usable storage for apps and such, after deleting some big apps I have 4.93 gb available, my sdcard is a 16 gb sdcard which has 12.06 gb available. Do the math and I have enough room on my sdcard for a nandroid, so what could be causing cwm to freeze and report false information?

what version of CWM are you currently running?
you could always try to download GooManager or ROM Manager from the Play Store.
then from one of those, install the custom recovery, GooManager for TWRP or ROM Manager for CWM.

In my experience errors come up on restoring images when 1) you don't use the same version you backed up the image with 2) you don't get to CWM through the same method you used while making the image (ie through ROM manager with your phone on).

Also, I was a long time CWM touch user on my old NS. After using TWRP on this phone, I will never look back at CWM. TWRP is much more user friendly. Give it a shot OP unless you're adamant in using CWM. Again, update your recovery.

I was also a CWM user, but after I got my s3 and my first flash of CWM on the s3 hard bricked my phone, I decided to use TWRP. Little did I know I was missing out on what TWRP had to offer. I won't ever turn back to CWM again lol.
That said... If you insist in CWM, this is the guide I followed to get a successful CWM flash. (This was the CWM I was running successfully for the brief time TWRP disbanded.)

From all the all roms I have seen, its not available yet...
And as for the patch I was thinking of trying it but im afraid of bricking my phone. You can flash that rom as long as the rom doesnt install two files( which are carrier related). I just cant remember what files. Just read in that thread and look for those files. when u download the rom use root explorer and check that the rom doesnt have them in there.
Let me know how it goes ?

So to confirm, you tried the patch at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086394 and you got stuck on the flashing Samsung logo? Me being the noob that I am, I (stupidly) decided to simply go ahead and flash the N7100 version on my L900 following the instructions for the N7100 (original) varient. It of course bricked me, never got anything beyond the flashing Samsung logo, just does that forever until I pulled the battery.
However, by attempting to flash it I seem to have created other problems and here's where I'm stumped. I am now unable to restore my TWRP Nandroid I made of my stock rooted MK4 before flashing, restoring that results in getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (again). It doesn't matter what options I restore in TWRP (System, Boot, Data, etc) it has the same result: the flashing Samsung logo forever and ever and ever. I read somewhere that 4.4 (the DN3 ROM) messes with partitions because it enables multi user support...could that have anything to do with it? The only way I have been able to get my device back working is flashing stock unrooted MD4 TAR through Odin. I'd really rather not start from scratch though on my settings and everything though, and the only backup I have is that Nandroid, no Titaniums or anything else. Can you help me restore the Nandroid or is it a lost cause?

Well I haven't installed Philz recovery yet, but considering my Nandroid was made with TWRP will Philz even see it? The only reason I ask is because IIRC Philz is based off of TWRP, no? What I'm getting at here is that I'm pretty sure Nandroids from different recoveries, for example CWM and TWRP are completely incompatible right?
If I can't restore the backup I made from TWRP in Philz am I dead in the water? If so, I guess I learned my lesson, that is to have a contingency plan such as Titaniums in place (particularly for settings). I guess I really didn't expect a Nandroid to just fail spectacularly...if TWRP really is completely borked up with backup/restore on 4.3 it would be nice if they had a warning somewhere in the recovery or on their site. I would think that would be kind of important to know before you try to use a backup made using their recovery...

Okay lets cover the backup types first. Philz will backup/restore in both twrp and cwm format but you have to select the option. Now about your backup it will still be no good since it was created with twrp.

now that we have 4.4.2 there shouldn't be a reason we cant get this rom ported
I seriously can not figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm going to be giving away my Epic since my friend broke his phone and I have the S4. However before that I want to install TWRP and the latest KK rom but everytime I do I brick the phone and have to restore it back to EL30 or FC09 and start over. I done this 4 times and I still can't get it to work properly. It roots fine but when I try to install a later rom or TWRP it doesn't work. Can someone help me out?
BUMP
Is there no one that can help me with this problem? I really want to get this cellphone working so I can give it off to my friend.
wich rom and wich twrp?
The epic 4g custom roms all have a recovery that goes along with the rom. The blu kuban rom has always been stable for me and if I recall correctly it has twrp along with it instead of cwm.
On second thought, are you talking about the sprint s2 non slider or the slider one?

Wait but if you already have a recovery installed wont it skip installing a new recovery? Because to root it I had to install CWM 5.0.2.7
It's the Sprint Epic 4G with the slide in keyboard. SPH-D700 if I recall.
@ernest-sora I have tried to install a few latest rom like The Schism Rom and Avatar Rom since those are KikKat based
Ahhhhh, I don't know anything about the slider one. I only have the non slider one. Sorry

Oh I see. Well thanks for at least trying to help.
It's there anyone else who can help me with this problem?

Rather than forcing TWRP...follow the instructions in this thread choosing MTD choice and then use the CWM recovery that will already be on the phone to flash your choice of ROMs. TWRP does not work with everything on this phone.

This is the guide I followed to root. (As well as qbking77 guide) I tried both MTD and BML once I failed and it's the same problem. Once I flash your deodexed rom it works but if I try to flash a different rom it doesn't work or at least one of the latest rom. I know in Schism rom it said to update to the latest TWRP or CWM but when I try with CWM it doesn't work and if I try to install TWRP I end up bricking the phone which I have to restore again.
Alright I followed everything on the thread and used MTD again. I checked and I'm fully rooted. Now I'm gonna try to flash the rom I'm trying to flash. I'm assuming I should Wipe before installing the rom right? Since the stock and custom build are different.

If you did not set anything up you do not have to wipe.

It failed again. I did not wipe and for some reason it still does not work. Once I install the Rom from zip it says Checking State of BML/MTD and it reboots once it reboots it just stays on the Samsung Cyanogenmod screen. I waited for five minutes and nothing happens. Also sometimes when I do try it just stays in a black screen with the buttons at the bottom glowing.

Go back into CWM and format /system, format /data and format /cache and try again.
