Im running the latest and greatest version of cwm. Now when I do a backup it goes through the process but doesn't backup anything! I look in the cwm folder and the backup isn't there! Just shows old previous back ups. Any help would be appreciated!

If I try to restore from recovery, it goes through the restore process then when I reboot it bootloops. It will restore from advanced restore if I do all four separately. Is there any fix to restore restore> Sorry for the stupid play on words.
Are you wiping everything b4 you restore
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Yes, wipe data, dalvik and cache. It will boot after advanced restore just not typical restore.

Still need suggestions please.

You say it restores fine and you can get it working after the advanced restore? Perhaps try going into rom manager if you use that, and hit menu -> settings and make sure erase recovery is on. Then flash an older version of recovery to your phone, then flash the latest. Maybe that'll help?
Just tried that. Did not work. I don't know what to do. Thank though.

What clockwork version?
sent from dinc
Had 3.0.0.8 backup. It will restore in advanced, not normal restore. Flashed 3.0.0.7 did nandroid and full wipe, same result, only advanced doing all but sd-ext individually.

I backed up aokp milestone 5.1.1 and wiped cache and dalvik before installing milestone 5.2. That might have been a mistake but then I flashed gapps cus I had forgot to after flashing 5.2 but then decided to wipe everything and just restore my backup of milstone 5.1 I had (I backed it up using twrp) but when I click restore, there's nothing there. No package to choose. Any help?
Thanks.
Can't restore a nAndroid from twrp. You need to reinstall the aokp first. Be sure to Unchecked "inject twrp" when doing so. Then reboot into cwm and restore your backup.
Happened to me too.

You can't restore nandroids made in clockwork mod in TWRP if you make a nandroid in twrp then you can. But cwm nandroids aren't compatible.

He said he backed up using twrp. It seems it is not finding his backup on the sd card.

I restored my CM9beta3-pre3 twrp Nandroid perfectly..............found it in the GooManager folder (obviously NOT clockworkmod / downloads folder) in the SD Card.........if you didn't create a GooManager, just keep looking, it's in there somewhere.

I am currently using ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2. The last few times I have tried to backup a ROM, I get : Error finding an appropriate backup handler. This happens at the end of the backup after it looks like everything is okay. Does anybody know what this means and how it can be corrected? I don't like flashing new ROM's without doing a Nandroid Backup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Thank you!

I tried the instructions in the link you sent, but I still get the same results... Not sure what to do.

Try Twrp recovery?
I should... I feel like I'm betraying CWM if I go to the other side. Is it the shizzle?

You need to take that avatar down and put one up of Jesse "shizzle" would never come out of Heisenberg's mouth. But yes it is better imo and lots of others. Has a better track record with this phone as well. Install it through goomanager from the play store.

I agree about TWRP. Boyh are great in their own right, but I prefer TWRP by a longshot! Even has a built in file manager!
Don't worry, we were all nervous our first times!!
Seriously though, only took a few min and I was hooked!
On your problem, does cwm see both int and ext sdcards?
If it comes to it, connect to pc over usb and adb pull both /system and /data. Also internal sd.
At least you'll have some sort of backup and then id suggest odin flashing stock firmware.
Good luck!

I have never had a problem restoring anything, I just backed up a new task ROM, I also backed up a new illusion ROM. I will go to restore from backup and it just boot loops on either 1. Anything prior to these latest releases and backups will restore but 2 separate ROM's with the latest releases will not restore from backup they both stay in boot loop. Totally clueless, I have formatted wiped you name it it will only restore a backup from a ROM o backup on Jan 4th. Only happening newer released backed up ROMs.

Try flashing a different kernel.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Did you change from clockwork mod to Team Win recovery, or visa versa? The two aren't compatible and might cause that.
No same as I always do...I flashed ktoonez kernel 1.10

I been having issues trying to backup and/or restoring my rom. Ive tried internal and external but as soon as I swipe to restore or backup, it immediately takes me back to the twrp home menu. Am I doing something wrong or should I reflash twrp?
The last time I tries to restore jedi x11 it just kept saying failed no matter if I put it in int or ext. Ibjust had to flash the rim all over again along with all my apps. Please help. Thank you in advance.

Are you running on the latest twrp? if not, then update it. Also I find using google to restore works best.
