I know that CWM 6.0.1.5 uses blobs folder to store the data, but for some reason it doesn't restore any of the data. it gives me an error saying it can't find data.img when trying to restore. any help would be appreciated!
I haven't tried 6.0.1.5, but on 6.0.1.4 I had similar problems when I had dedup format backups from multiple custom ROMs.
After a point backups refused to be restored in peace. So I changed backup format in the CWM Backup/Restore menu and started keeping tar format backups every now and then to make sure there was some reliable emergency backup.
Sorry that this will not help with your current backup restoration though!
Is this only meant for Nexus 4 ? Or can we flash it for Galaxy Nexus as well ? Reason I ask is because on CWM's official site, it only shows "6.0.1.5" for Galaxy Nexus. I'd like some confirmation before i make the plunge to the latest version.
Thanks.
6.0.1.9 is unofficial and is in the Dev forum, 6.0.1.5 is the current version for the Galaxy Nexus

Hi all,
I'm on Aokp build 38
I checked my goo.im app (goomanager) and checked checked for update. And I got one. It's build 39. How do I go around to update this?
Do I need to make a titanium backup? Or whatnot?
Can I get some help please.
I'm only new to rooting.
Please be gentle. Lol

you could backup your stuff with titanium backup, but I'd just dirty flash this over #38. Has worked for me since the last 4 builds.
Always do a NANDroid backup before flashing, just in case.
edit: by "dirty flash" I mean: just download the build 39' .zip, boot into your custom recovery, and flash it over your current build AFTER doing a full backup. Than flash the google-apps again, if wanted, reboot and see if it works for you
okay thanks.
but how do i do a NANDroid backup?
sorry for the one million and one questions. lol
Boot into recovery ... go down to Backup and restore and select Backup.
There are (at least) two ways to backup your phone.
1) Via CWM (clockworkmod recovery). Navigate the menus, there's a backup option there. It will be saved to your phone.
2) Use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit. It's available here on the forums.
I made a backup of the stock ROM using CWM but had issues getting certain ROMs to work until I changed the recovery to TWRP. Is it possible to restore the backup made in CWM with TWRP?
I was planning on backing current ROM with TWRP, going back to CWM; restoring stock ROM, installing TWRP and recreating backup with TWRP but I'm just wondering if it's possible.
Thanks!
EDIT: I found the answer myself not 10 seconds after posting this. I hate it when that happens!! FYI, the answer is No.
Hi, maybe a stupid question.. If I update my phone to 4.2 and then I want to come back, is restoring a CWM backup after a full wipe enough? Or do I need to flash a Google image from scratch?
Thank you for your time.

Are you on the latest version of CWM? The reason I ask is because the earlier versions are incompatible with Android 4.2.
Anyways, you should be able to restore a nandroid backup of 4.1.2 (or earlier version) after wiping your system/data/cache.

I recommend that you switch from CWM to the latest TWRP because when I upgraded to 4.2 with CWM I faced the sdcard/0/ issue so CWM could no longer find the nandroid backup to restore it. I have no idea if this has been fixed in CWM but it is working fine in the latest TWRP recovery which I am using now.
Take note that CWM backup is not compatible with TWRP backup so you have to make a TWRP backup to restore it later.
If you would like to have TWRP then you have to do the following assuming you are already rooted:
1- Download GooManager from the Play Store
2- Open it then install the TWRP recovery
3- Switch off the phone then go into TWRP recovery
4- Make a backup using TWRP
5- Do whatever you want now but remember that if you are wiping everything then you will have to install TWRP recovery again (either via fastboot or by rooting then downloading GooManager to install it) after starting the new ROM in order to restore your nandroid backup because wiping everything will wipe the recovery as well.
I hope that is clear
I've looked everywhere but I can't find the answer to this. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 sgh 1747 on 4.1.1, I rooted it with odin. After I rooted it I backed up with Titanium backup and then I backed up with clockworkmod recovery. After all this I installed cyanogenmod 10.1 so it is now on 4.2.2. but when go went to titanium backup it says I have no backups so I went to clockworkmod to restore to my backup but I get an
MD5 mismatch error everytime. I have found how to fix the error but I cant find where the backups are saved. I have looked in clockworkmod/backup in my extsd and internal, and I looked in data/media/clockworkmod/backup but it wasn't there. I have also looked in almost every folder on my phone. So my question is, where are my clockworkmod backups?
What gave you the MD5 mismatch? Do you have any CWM backups at all?

After installing CM10.1, did you check your internal storage for the emulated "0" folder? I've read that this happens when going from stock to CM based ROMs. Maybe thats why TiBu can't find your backups.
If ^^ don't work, try DiskUsage in the Play Store. If they're full backups, they should occupy quite a lot of size.
Hello everyone,
I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, and installed CWM 6.0.2 I believe (summer 2012). I was using 4.3 Deodexed ROM and decided to upgrade to 4.4, so I mad a nandroid backup through CWM. Then I found out that 4.4 required me to update my CWM to 6.0.4.3, so I did. After upgrading CWM, I was unable to restore my old 6.0.2 backup. Is there any way to restore it, or do I have to downgrade CWM?
If I need to downgrade CWM, can I first perform a backup of my current 4.4 ROM and then downgrade, or is there a chance it will mess with old CWM?
Thanks in advance,
silentz0r
Sorry for bumping, I have noticed that after upgrading CWM, it made new directories into /sdcard and moved my old directories into /sdcard/0. I tried copying the contents of the old CWM directory into the new one (/blobs and /backup) and tried to restore, but still got the same error message notifying me that no backup is found. Is there no way to restore an old CWM backup with newer CWM?
If anyone ever has this problem, I suggest installing ROM Manager. My backups spontaneously started working through ROM Manager (even in CWM recovery). I have no idea why the backup could not be found before, but using this pretty much fixed itself. Marked as Solved.

Thanks for the heads up!
But shouldn't you just have made a back-up before CWM upgrade, then upgrade CWM, make another backup (just in case) and then install 4.4?
I am still on 4.3 and I will do it this way in the near future.
