[Q] backup issue. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have recently tried to backup my Rom (Jedi mind trick x1) and it won't let me. When I press it in clock work mod recovery it says something like "bad sd card" any fix our free alternative?

An alternative would be changing your recovery from cwm to twrp

It's it better? And could it possibly brick my phone?

Way better...it won't hard brick your phone...but if you mess up the installation process, it MAY soft brick it.

Just Curious

I'm curious to why we still cant get CWM to boot into Recovery mode on ICS without going through the whole long unbrick process.

Help with cm10

Every time I flash the cm10 nightly my phone gets stuck in the cm logo and cannot get past it. Do I need to flash a specific radio first??

Use twrp

You have to do a full wipe (Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache).

Not sure what recovery your on but this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844637 has not caused me a single problem flashing from rom to rom
He's probably on cwm6 using the dark side scripts. Just wipe the good ol fashion way And you should be good.

First boot can take awhile, be sure to be patient if you have wiped properly.

Make a backup first. Always make a backup.
Ya I made a complete backup of my original rom even with bloat I find that sometimes original roms are the most stable

Clockwork touch???

Anyone know how to get the touch variant??? When. I check on the site is there but loads code. Do I need to do something with that to be able to flash it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You can flash it directly from Rom Manager
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
What about manually?? You have to buy the touch through there don't you
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
correct, you have to buy CWM Touch from ROM Manager.
to flash it manually, the CWM website has the img file for you to download. but then somehow you have to turn it into a tar file (i think?) to fastboot install it.
if someone has instructions on making a tar file, this will help me out too. =D
Yeah I've seen plenty doing it was just curious how

Download goo manger and you can install twrp which is touch

Software update: LS970v9. Anyone downloaded this yet?

Hit my phone an hour ago. I'm rooted and unlocked, don't want to risk bricking my phone. Is this JB?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Also, apparently it has installed and will complete upon phone restart. Lol...hopefully I don't have to jump through hoops.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
No it's not JB.

K, is it safe to update or will this brick my phone? I'm holding off restarting and I'd like to know if I need to freeze some stuff.
