So, I rooted and then made a nandroid backup - then I flashed CM10 and set that all up, no issues. Then I rebooted into restore to check on my backup and CWM doesn't see the backup. I can browse to my backup using a file explorer and I can see it but my CWM doesn't see it.
As if thats not bad enough, I convince my buddy to try flashing CM10 on his Sprint GS3. First thing he says to me after is that his CWM doesn't see his back up. Now he's pissed because he can't restore to stock - same boat I'm in.
Has anyone else experienced this yet??
Thanks

Do you still have the CWM image (recovery.img)? If so, download Android Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, have the recovery image on the internal memory, run:
Once in the terminal type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
I think it flashed a newer version of CWM and it doesn't see the old backup you made.

Umm, you might have to push it with ADB then. I'm not sure what the command is but I suggest you look it up. I'll try to look for it myself.

Does is matter that the recovery.img isn't in the root of the SD card - but its in a folder called clockworkmod? so the path would be /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.img

That's your current recovery. We need your older one. Well that's my guess anyway. Which recovery did you first install? If you can refind it, that would be best.

Thats the recovery I made while I was still stock, I made that backup just before flashing CM10. Once I was on CM10 I didn't make any backups.

I was just browsing my file structure and something looks weird since flashing CM10. It looks like it took all my folders that used to be in the root directory of my SD card and put them all in a folder called "0" so the path would be sdcard/0/ and that "0" folder has all the contents of my phone. If I browse to sdcard/ I see most of my folders also but not all of them and most of them are empty. My buddy is reporting the same scenario on his phone after flashing CM10

Well that explains it. You're coming from ICS aren't you? In JB, they divided it by users (0, 1, 2..). Copy your backup to your new emplacement and it should be fine.

lol That old restore is no good to you. Tibu is independant so as long as you don't wipe you SD, you can restore, whatever you flash. So here's my suggestion, make it the way you like it (I'm sure you'll spend all the time in the world doing it I'm the same way lol) and make one good backup. Keep it up to date when you make changes (especially your launcher) and w/e you decide to flash afterwards, you'll only have to restore your TiBu backup.

try a data wipe, root will persist. assuming you didn't mess too much stuff up you should be back to stock with su
but agreed, something like this would be useful if you messed it up and didn't backup first

Is there a safe way to rename the backups we make in CWM ? It currently labels them as "2011-05-22.17.55.36" depending on date/time .... I wanna be able to rename it so I know what is actually on that particular backup ; such as "SRF-1.1.1" "UrbanFury" , etc. When I renamed them before and then tried to restore , it wouldn't work. Anyone find a solution to this ?
use rom manager to rename, or just rename the directory in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

the directory name doesnt matter at all... just dont leave any space, you may need to regenerate nandroid.md5 i dont know.. but if so its easy enough
in a shell goto your new backup directory
Code:
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
BTW i have a script to make and restore nandroid backups.. not using the builtin cwm functions, useful for installs and i guess maybe your situation of naming it whatever you want..
If you back it up in CWM and then boot up and open Rom Manager you can click manage, hold down the backup you want to edit and choose rename. It works just fine, this is how I keep track of my backups.

OK - I tried your suggestion to rename but I did it on the computer ( don't have much experience with ROM Manager since I've always been told it don't really work on our Epic phone ) .... IT WORKED !!! I just changed the 2011 to UrbanFury and SRF and did restore with No Problemas ( I musta left spaces the first times I tried renaming ) ... so the moral of the lesson is - NO SPACES

Great find, trying this out now, seems to work so far. Also for anyone who isn't comfortable with ADB, you can follow the instructions from 'su' on the OP and install this with Terminal Emulator as well.
EDIT: I can also verify that TWRP does mount both internal and external SD via the local file manager, however I haven't been able to mount it with my computer. Also, TWRP by default back-ups to your sd-card and not the phone the way it should.

You will need to go into Mount and ensure that SD Card is checked. This will not allow your computer to see it, however you will be able to view the SD Card from the built in file manager and back-up/restore to the SD Card as well.

No dice. The option to mount the sdcard is there and it is unselected, but I am not able to select it. No need to have it visible via USB for me, but backup/restore and most importantly the ability to flash from the sdcard are must haves.

It seems a bit finicky, I would try clicking on and around until it selects. I don't think you being on AT&T would affect that, but that could always be a possibility as well.

From my trials, I have noticed that if you press on it, even though it doesnt show it is selected, it probably is. Go to backup and check out the available size and see if it matches up with your SD card. Worked this way for me.

No, still not coming up with anything in /sdcard. If I hit the "terminal" button in the center, it reads E: Can't mount /sdcard. I flashed CWM orginally using a different out file path in the dd command, but if my linux knowledge serves me correct it still points to the same memory blocks. I've flashed back and forth between CWM and TWRP several times to no avail. Also, I'm flashing this via terminal emulator and not adb but I doubt that makes a difference either.
Edit: internal sdcard shows up under /data/media. this breaks recovery scripts that sen TWRP looking for /sdcard, but at least I can flash manually from TWRP.
I am getting a force close when I try to get into 3G hotspot settings, this is most likely related to the fact that I can no longer use my phone as a hotspot with ease.

Rooted, running andi bones.
it use to work fine, now I restore some backups but none cure the problem.
I have tried factory reset, and every backup I have and the problem is still there.
OK, I ended up going back to stock and installing the original rom I was running, now it's working, I think this got messed up when I tried UKB rom, and all my backups newer than stock would not take care of the problem.
Now I want to delete some of the backups and save a new backup, but I have not found the location of the backup files.

If you want help you've got to give us info. What recovery are you using? For twrp there is a folder on your sd card called twrp. I don't remember the name for the cwm folder because I haven't used it for a long time. I've never used 4ext, so if you are on that you'll have to wait for someone else's input.

have u checked the blobs folder internal and external sd card?
Which version of CM did you flash. If you flashed one of the nightly builds dated 12/17 and forward you may have flashed 10.1 which is JB 4.2.1. JB 4.2.1 modifies the directory layout to make way for multi-user support and puts the contents of your /sdcard/ folder to /sdcard/0/ which may cause your backups to not be recognized by CWM.
Before we can help we need to know which version you flashed. Thanks!
This is what happened to me.I just back to stock Via Odin, thanks though

If you have USB MTP functionality you can just connect it to your computer and manually move your CWM folder from /sdcard/0 to /sdcard/
Then simply boot to recovery and CWM should see your list of backups.

I'm on the same boat as the OP. I tried doing what you recommended but the darn files won't copy and it takes ages. I'm helpless. Hating CM10 for ruining my life lol.
Aww don't hate on cm, the new update is causing some pretty big problems, but keep in mind it is only 3 days old. give it some time. =)
There are a couple of possible solutions:
1.) Flash back to stock using ODIN and then reinstall a custom recovery/ROM.
2.) ADB push the backups to the correct folder.
Either option should work just fine. In the future I'd also recommend TWRP as your recovery manager. It has a built in file manager that saved me on this issue by allowing me to copy the data to the correct folders within the recovery module itself.

This is what I figured. However, the backup fails with message "Error while restoring /system".
Tried using CWM 6.0.0.0 (which version is equipped with cm10 stable?) and installing cm10 stable prior to restoring my cm10 backup. It still fails and now I don't know what to do next. Any advice is welcome!
EDIT1: BTW: I need to restore my CM10 to remove my 4*4 pattern... when installing CM10.1, 3*3 pattern must be entered, which I don't know, so I cannot unlock my own phone... :/
EDIT2: Hold on... I did not know about incremental backups and hence I did not copy the blobs folder (within clockworkmod folder)... I will do that now and expect the restore to succeed then.
EDIT3: this works fine, remember to not only copy the folder "backups" but also all the other stuff of the clockworkmod-folder. or make a symlink in /data/media to the old location. works fine.
Changed CWM location

1. Open terminal, become root by using command 'su'.
2. Enter the following command:
cp -Rv /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/[backup dir] /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
eg.:
cp -Rv /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/2012-12-12.12.00.44 /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
Reboot to recovery and select the 'backup and restore'. Now there will be another entry with your older backup. Restore it. Enjoy!
clockworkmod backup folder location?
