Hi im rooted and i recently backed up my current rom. I deleted the file afterwards but now im missing about 1.5gb from my internal memory. I dont know what the problem is. But does anyone know how i can factory restore my phone? Do i have to unroot first? My goal is to restory it back to how it was when i took it out the box.

Hi,
I recently rooted my phone and installed Cyanogen Mod 7.1. My phone got locked and asked for activation, so I went to recover mode and restored back to previous stock version. It is working fine, but my disk space has become low due to the backup file of my current stock version (2.2.1). Can I delete the backup files which is present in ClockWorkMod folder? Will it harm anything?
I am planning to install ICS rom to my HTC droid Incredible 2. So I will delete the backup files and again backup when it asks during the ICS installation. Will this be okay? Guys please help me regarding this.
Do yourself a favor and copy them to a computer to free up space on your SD card. You may want to revert at some point.

Personally the only one I keep is my initial one. The rooted stock rom. Then I keep a stable rom and gaps on my phone at all times

I recently flashed to AOKP Task & Ktoonsez JB rom, but decided I'd rather just go back to the stock rom. I did a nandroid backup before I flashed, but when I go into CWM it is giving me an error
"error while restoring /data!"
Can anyone please help me?

I'm in the same boat as you, im also leaving AOPK Task & Ktoonsez JB rom.
Im using this method to go back to stock.
Just flash any of these.

nvm I was able to get it to work. I just transferred the nandroid backup from my External SD to the Internal and it was able to complete the backup.
hopefully this helps someone who might be having the same issue i was.
Thanks for the help though. Thanks Task & Ktoonsez
To install the new 2.7.1 Whompasaurus MA7 rom, do you have to be updated to MA7 already? I'm currently running a stock rooted deodexed LJC rom by Team Venum, and I'm just wondering if there's anything else I have to do before flashing the Whompasauraus Rom?
Nope.
MA7 is included in the Rom. All you need is to do a complete Nandroid backup (so you can restore if you don't like it). Then a complete wipe (follow the instructions in the first couple posts). Flash 2.7.1 and enjoy.
Your system will have MA7 when you've completed the flash. Reinstall your programs and data from Titanium backup and you should be good to go. You could possible restore data only from your Nandroid backup, but I'm not sure how well that would work coming from a different Rom. I wouldn't risk it.
I actually flashed 2.7, didn't like it and restored 2.6 and it was still updated to MA7. When 2.7.1 came out, I updated and have been running ever since.
Whompasaurus 3.0 should be out shortly from what I've been reading on the Dev thread. You might want to wait a few days.

For some reason in clockworkmod recovery when I try to install zip from sdCard the zip file doesn't show up. Checked root explorer and it shows it in the /sdcard/ file slot. Tried installing from external sd card but that just froze up after the first step of basic aroma install.

Sorry to hear that. Did you try the full recovery? Did you wipe everything before trying to install? I'm using the current version of TWRP, but I wouldn't think CWM would be the culprit. They have 2.9 out now. Haven't found any problems.
Hello all, using a Bell Sgh-i747m here. Recently, I rooted and did a nandroid with cwm backup of my stock rom, and installed the m2 cm10.1 and the newest gapps. I made sure to have a backup, but mysteriously, it has disappeared! Does anyone know if it could've changed folders? Or was it completely deleted?
Thanks in advance.

Ive never heard of any being deleted. Did you do any kind of wipe when you flashed your ROM? I dont use CWM so not sure but does it store your Nan's to internal or external?

Not sure if I am reading that right or not but I am thinking that you may need to update your CWR version to support the new 4.2 file structure. Can you get into a File Explorer and go to /storage/emulated/0/Clockwork/backup/ or /storage/sdcard1/Clockwork/backup and see of they are in there? It has been a long time since I used CWR so I am not sure if they are kept on the internal or external.
My guess is that they are still there, however your CWR version can't read them. Best way to check is to look with a file explorer like I mentioned above.

Woody is correct in saying you need to look in the "0" first. also /data/media/clockworkmod or /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup. copy your cmw backup from "sdcard 0" (or wherever) to sdcard
as far as recovery versions, cwm is simply an installer. if it was not a recent enough version, you would have got an error 7 and it wouldnt even have flashed the rom. since you have flashed a 4.2 rom, you and cwm now need to know where to look for the files new locations. grab root explorer if you dont have it yet.
Afternoon All
I have recently flashed my rom can i now delete the viper.zip file that is on my sd card.
I still have back up from TWRP pre flash but im running out of storage on my phone.
Thanks
