Hi !
I've used CyanogenMod 10 for 2 weeks now. Before I installed it, I had done a nandroid backup through Clockworkmod Recovery, to co.e back to the Stock ROM if any problem happened. During these 2 weeks, I would do some updates CM10 was giving us. Then, there's a few minutes ago, I rebooted my phone into CWM and tried to find my old backup (I ain't done any other one, or wipe, or nothing else) and, however, "No files found".
So now I'd like to know, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ? Is it cause of the daily updates from CM10 sometimes including a change called "6.0.2etc.", which remains me of the CWM version ? I'm really scared I lost it... Now when I look to the new release of CM10, a nightly includes a fix for the error "not recognized backup format type of file" or something like that, should I update and would that resolve my issue ? I'm becoming paranoid, I've got many problems with flashing ROMs and I'm now afraid of updating CM10, cause my CWM is still in 5.8 despite the "6.0.2" changes in the change logs...
What should I do, is my backup still remaining ?
Thanks

Well, actually when I booted into CWM an hour ago, it was in 5.8.4, so it's still the old one... So I wonder if I should update CWM, or updated CM10 which would maybe solve my problem with the backup file fix, but it doesn't completely looks like my issue... I will try anything you suggest in the morning, it's 0:46am in France ^^ One thing's sure, CWM is still in its old 5.8.4 version.
The problem is just I can't see my backup anymore, why and how can I retrieve it ? :/
Thanks overall

did you have access to pc and sd of hox..? if look under clockworkmod if the backup is really in..!?!
What is pc ? And I have access to SD from my files explorer app, I think it's the same with CWM.
Where is the nandroid backup normally located ? On SD ?

So I no longer have any backup at all xD Then I can do a new one right now, and update CM10 then CWM... I still have the stock ROM with the right hboot on my PC so I'll just have to flash it again if I need it :/ Didn't know we could access the backup folder and keep it on the computer

Just tried to go back to a fresh backup(30 min old) and I get the message "Error restoring /system!" after a while. Happends on all my backups, with latest Rom manager and latest recovery. I saw a thread somewhere about deleting su-backup, file is not found when trying to with adb so I guess I don't have it. Couldn't find anything else about it, what can I do?
I had a similar problem. I solved it by using ext4 recovery instead of cwm.

You can't just restore the backup? or your phone isn't turning on and stuck on a white screen?
It's just the backup that fails, luckily I still had all ROM files on my SDcard so I flashed Ultimate Ace and now thats what I'm using. Root is back as well, however I still very much need all my apps and settings.
Would you please post a guide on ext4 recovery? I've gotten used to CWM, can you have them both at the same time?

To be honest there both pretty much the same as each other. I just use ext4 because ARHD flashed it when I first installed it. You cant run both together.

Same stupid error with 4EXT
There has to be some solution to this? I seriously can't be the only one with failed restores?
Is it every backup that fails? Or just the one. It could just be a bad backup. As for getting apps etc back, there's an app called "app extractor" (search all one word) which can actually pull your apps and data from a nandroid backup. I believe titanium backup can do this also. Hope this helps.

I just restored everything with TB, forgot it existed. But still, now I'm afraid of changing roms since backups doesn't work. And yes it's all backups, even my original rom backup which has worked before, I'm suspecting the issue came along with cwm 5

All I can suggest is to switch to the latest 4ext recovery. Download the 4ext app from the market and install from that.

I have tried with 4ext as well, it is now the recovery I mainly use because it provided alot more information. But it still gave me the same error, and every time I try I have to wipe and re-flash which means all my settings resets...

Word to the wise. Never restore any system data and settings
I never do, that's why I have to set them all over again, as for system apps I don't think I use any of them except market and gmail.

If someone's still interested: solved the problem with /format system. after that i could easily restore my backup w/o error.
Initially CWM was installed fine via Rom Manager but now I can't do *anything* in rom manager. None of the options work, not even the override setting (I have CWM installed already) This wouldn't be a huge issue but I wanted to download some roms away from the computer and experiment a bit.. I was wondering why this would be occouring as it doesnt seem like normal behavior.
I click flash CWM and it gives me the little loading symbol for a few seconds..
I do the same for Override.. same thing happens
None of the other features will work because it doesn't detect CWM

I would suggest reflashing CMW through Rom Manager. Make sure you select the right version for your device GSM or CDMA as this will cause huge issues!!!
I can't flash it.. it just gives me the loading circle for a second and does absolutely nothing at all. CWM works fine outside of rom manager.. rom manager isn't working correctly. I am a little worried that this a symptom of a larger problem though.
do u have root permissions?
do u give rom manager root permission when supersuser ask u?
did u treid uninstall and install again rom manager?
Don't want to sound like an ass, but you did both unlock and root your phone, right? When you enter ROM Manager, does it ask you for superuser permission?
absolutely, I even double checked =) I am not entirely fresh to rooting phones. I have rooted, unlocked (and even flashed custom roms) I have gone back to stock.. and done the whole process again (JUST to make sure) it doesn't matter what I've done so far though.. the problem still persists.
Rom manager doesn't even ask for superuser permissions, unless rebooting into recovery (surprisingly it does this fine)

Wow, I thought it was just me. Rom Manager just did this to me last night also. I've been rooted and flashing rooms on my gnex since Feb and had no problems. This just happened to me last night out of nowhere. Wasn't even flashing anything. It doesn't even shows that I don't have recovery flashed anymore.
Weird.

Alright, I figured out my problem. Don't know if it will help you.
I forgot I downloaded the CWM touch .img but decided I wasn't going to do it. I forgot to delete the .img file from the root of my SD. I deleted it and and than rom Manager went back to normal and let me reflash recovery.
Hope this helps.

Cheers but! The root of my SD is empty >.>
Edit: so I went back into root and deleted some folders... and voila! Its all working again! Cheers for the tip mate!

First of all are there any downsides to using TWRP. I have heard of some issues with a long reboot time?
Also my original back up is on CWM is there anyway to migrate or somehow get my original back up on to TWRP?

1) i havent experienced the first thing you mentioned
2) no. they use totally different formats.
CWM just released 6.0 alpha currently in testing. I've always used CWM but I recently used TWRP on my Nook Tablet and I must say that it is pretty cool. Very touch-oriented and feels more like a GUI then a text based recovery like CWM...
However, maybe I'm just used to CWM, but TWRP seemed more complicated. CWM is pretty laid out and straight forward. Both pretty much do the same thing but I trust CWM much more then TWRP. For example, my TWRP updated and left me unable to read my Internal or External storage. It kinda screwed me for a while.
I guess both are nice and can get you to the same place. TWRP is getting updated a lot because it is still new while CWM is kind of seasoned. I use Touch CWM and I don't really have a reason to update it. If it works, why screw with it. A recovery isn't a ROM you flash to get more features. As long as it does what you need it to do, why chance screwing with it?
One of the features I noticed that would be nice is being able to name your backup. Is there a way to name backups in CWM. I tried to within a file browser one time and the backups I renamed were not working afterwards.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have been using TWRP on my HOX and found it really easy and pretty forward without issue.. On my Nexus I used CWM and found it okay easy as well...
BUT I installed it on my Nitro HD and wound up in CWM HELL with out a way out. My phone is currently (hopefully) being unbricked as I could not get out of CWM....Yes I did a back up and when I ran it it stated system back up not found.
So on my Nexus I also just switched it up to CWM after reading other issues also.
Again not bashing CWM just not trusting it to much at this point.
As far as I know, renaming backups in CWM is possible? Try long pressing on one of the backups under 'Manage/Restore', it should allow you to edit the name.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It is possible via a file manager just long press edit name it to what u want just the name don't put a file extention at the end ex. .zip just leave it be it sets the file name for you I had that issue before

You can rename a backup, it just can't have spaces or it won't restore. I just add to the end of the name so you can delete and return to original name if you have issues.
Okay so I noticed this unusual problem yesterday.
I´m using CWM 5.8.4 at the moment, and seems that I cannot make any Nandroid backups.
When I boot into recovery and start making the backup it starts normally and starts backing up the system, but after a while my HOX just freezes and reboots.
I´ve already tried with CWM 5.8.4, the CWM based 6.0.1.5 and TWRP 2.3.1.0, and issue still persists.
I´m not new to flashing, I do know the right procedures, and methods, right now I´m just wondering why the recoveries crash while trying to backup.
Solutions and suggestions?

Hi
A few days ago my phone developed a big problem; when at home I get zero reception - msg reads 'disconnected because service is not available. Sometimes even when not at home I have a few bars but if someone calls it goes straight to voicemail or says that the service is not available. I used to get full reception at home. The problem is not due to a network fault as my wife is on the same network and she still gets a full signal.
I was using viper x rom 3.5 and had not messed with roms for several months. Just prior to the problem happening I was connected to the pc via USB . I noticed that something was wrong when poweramp stopped playing and all my music files were not recognised (this may or may not be related to the problem) and I had to restart the phone and rescan for music.
I have tried several solutions including flashing the last viper rom (3.8) and trying a different sim, but nothing has worked. I have still lost all reception where I used to have a great signal (and someone on the same network in the same house still does).
Even at work with a reception I sometimes don't receive texts and often takes a few attempts to send them.
Does this sound like a hardware fault that I will need to send my phone in for repair. Or could there be any other solutions?
Thanks

Yes. The problem didn't happen when messing with a new rom. I had been on viper 3.5 for months then it just happened. I upgraded to viper 3.8 today to see if that would help, and I flashed the boot.img. The rom installed fine but I still have the same issue.
After installing did you also do a full wipe?
Edit: if you did a clean install you can always try flash a different kernel and corresponding modules

Sorry for all the questions, I have only flashed a few roms.
I downloaded a stock rom for my version from the collections thread. It is a 7zp file not a zip file. When I open it it doesn't have a boot.imag. I think this is a twrp backup and I use the emmc.win file?
I have twrp installed as my recovery but I am not sure what to do.
Do I copy the emmc.win file to the fastboot folder like I would if it was a boot.img and then flash in the same way?
I am also not sure what to do with the nandroid 7zp backup. Do I extract it (or not) and then put it direct on to my sd card? Or do I place it within my twrp folder?
Do I need a custom recovery, I am not sure which one to use for version 3.14.
Sorry for all the questions.

You need a recovery that supports both cwm and twrp nandroids.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240646
That is philz touch recovery, I use it, touch works and it supports both cwm and twrp nandroids.
Now you need a nandroid, check your CID + Version main and get your nandroid here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Make sure you have the nandroid you downloaded in the right folder, do a full wipe, restore it, and flash the boot.img. That is all
Thanks. What is the right folder? Do I use the recovery to do the full wipe before I flash?
I used that link and have my version for HG3__001 but there is no boot.img in the 7zp file I downloaded.
I think clockworkmod/backups
Yeah you do a full wipe with it.. well if there is no boot img or boot emmc in the file then its not a complete backup..
I just noticed that you found a boot emmc file (s/t like that) flash it like any other boot.img
