Is anyone else having an issue backing up via cwm? For some reason, it will go as far as backing up data then give me an error message. Sometimes it will even seem to complete a successful backup but when I try to restore, it says md5 mismatch. Is there a way to fix this or can someone point me in the direction of finding another backup app? Thanks

I got the same issue before. Some have recommended not using Tom manager and just doing it through recovery with button combo.
Message relayed from the dark side.
Mine gow trough the whole back up and always at the end says that "it could not back up image for /data" :/
Here ya go..... This will resolve your issue. Good luck!

The steps involve downloading android SDK and possibly upgrading your Java but it is a one time fix issue so it's worth it. Which means you don have to do this everytime u want to do sucessful restore/backup.

Thanks for the help but it didn't work. Now it went through the process of the backup and during the restore, it failed at trying to restore system. Not sure what the problem could be. Is there an alternate backup solution?

Are you using rom manager? I've never encountered an issue with cwm backups made via recovery mode.

It was happening to me regardless. Rom manager backup doesn't take you to backup anymore. It just takes you straight to recovery. Must be a bug in the new version. Three button combo also results in similar md5 mismatches. What I did was backup my SD card and reformatting it. Also I erased anything in my internal having to do with rom manager and also did a fresh install of my rom. I just tried three button combo and it backedup and restored properly. I can't pinpoint which of what I did helped but something must have been messed up

I know this is super basic, but have you pulled out your sd card and done a dual check with your computer? Also, ensure you have at least a gigabyte of free space on it.
My CWM backups were failing due to these two reasons.
Hope this helps!

This is the one. Think it's a issue with ROM manager in general. Deleted the cwm folder, wiped cache/dalvik, backup worked! Somethings up with RM

Never mind. Tried a second time but as like you, got a error when it got to backing up data. Anyone know what could be causing this?
You guys ahould email koush- the developer of the app. Or follow the link posted in the first few pages as an alternative fix.

Ok, I updated the recovery to touch (paid for it instead of fastboot to support by the way) and it was still giving me errors. After some testing, I found out what my issue is. If I try to backup to my external SD, I get the errors. If I just backup to my internal SD, backup goes fine. Did the tests a few times to test theory. I have a 32g Kingston card. Not sure why that would be an issue.
Sent from a Sammy Galaxy far, far away..
The fact that you have a 32 gb kingston card doesnt mean anything. Try it with a different card.
and what kind of errors are you getting when you try to backup with external?

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.

Can you give a little more information about your situation please? Did you update from an earlier version recently? Did you flash the full ROM over another ROM? Did you make sure to wipe the phone before flashing?
The more we know can possibly help lead to a quicker resolution.
dont really know to much about this stuff im a newbie by i follow directions to the T.. I installed to sd card rebooted in custom recovery and did a calks wipe and installed... Also i made sure it was on a gb rom before anything... 3.2.6 to be exact.. So did i do something wrong or am i missing something...? Open to any opinions... I really wanna learn how to navigate through these processes..

You don't have to be on a GB ROM to flash it, just need GB recovery or one of the format files (Calkulin or Rujelus) to flash for wipe before installing the ROM.
Did you have custom recovery installed?
Did you make sure to grab the full ROM and not just the update?
Did you download directly to your phone or to the computer? If you downloaded to phone then I'd suggest download again but to the computer and then copy to your sd card. Don't re-use the download you already tried to flash, it may have been borked in the downloading process.
(also, GB is 2.3.6, Honeycomb is 3.x)

I would make a backup with CWM and then do a full clean install and see if that helps. If it doesn't help you can always revert back to your backup.

I have experience some of the same issues on 2 different E4GT. I like the the rom but random boots force me back to stock. The most recent phone does not have the EMMC bug in it so I triedd a complete wipe, but the rom would work great for about a day then have random reboots again and sometime blank screens.
Any time I try to flash a rom or anything I keep getting this message: E:/error opening '/data/lost+found'
I've tried flashing different roms but it hasn't helped.
I'm having this weird problem where when I flash a new rom about 20 random apps are transferred over to the new rom. (like random games and apps)
Also every time I uninstall any app I get "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but this just concerns me.
Could anyone help me out? I just want to do a fresh install of liquid smooth.

Wipe everything, data, system, cache and dalvik
Then try reflashing your rom
Ok have you installed any app to sd type of application? It sounds like your internal storage is being read as external and visa versa.
Also i know there's lots of support for twrp but I swear by cwm when it comes to the GS3. I use twrp on my Nexus and that's fine but on the S3 cwm has always worked better in my opinion.
What roms are you trying to flash? They are sprint s3 roms right from this section?

I haven't installed any app to sd type applications.
I do think part of the internal is being used as external but I thought that's just how it was.
I only have roms, nandroids, and titanium backups on my sd card.
I installed twrp because when I first started it seemed like that was what most people were recommending but it doesn't matter to me. I might switch.
Also I've been switching between cleanbean and liquid smooth, both from this section.
The main thing that bugs me is when uninstalling apps says "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but it just doesn't seem good.

A couple weeks ago, I was switching from a AOSP ROM to a TW ROM and I got the same error. Thinking it was TWRP, I hooked my phone up to my computer and flashed CWM. I then tried to flash the ROM in CWM and it was a no go. I still got the same error. I just decided to transfer all my data from my internal sd to my computer. I used Odin to flash the stock tar file. After that, I used QBKing77's method to root from recovery. Then I flashed my ROM and I got 0 errors. So all I had to do was start fresh haha. It took a bit of time because I was taking many precautions (as should you) Good luck!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yes just as posted above, but before going the route of Odin back to stock. Copy all your files (important) from internal and external to your computer. Then boot into recovery no need to change now and reformat your internal and external storage, wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot. Then download a fresh zip of a rom to flash and test it. If it all works then go through your files and move back what you need. I'm pretty sure you have a bunch of O folders in your internal.

I tried beanstalk, which didn't work at first, then I went to lifeless and from lifeless to beanstalk, which is awesome, but as soon as I rebooted it told me I was low on space. I checked and, sure enough, it says I have a 25 gb sd instead of 32? I restored my stock rom (I had to delete a video first, because I guess there wasn't enough space to restore data), but it still says I have 25g available. Has anyone else had this? I'm sure I will have to format my sd to fix it, I'm just curious what I did to cause it. I've never heard of flashing a rom formatting an sd before...
