This could be a very useful tool for us if it works, with our recovery situation... Anybody who uses it please report back and let us know how it works. I just saw this and thought I'd pass it on for somebody with the free time to try it out.

I'm testing this now so far;
I downloaded zip file
booted into el29 direct recovery
flashed zip
rebooted
opened Rom toolbox pro
opened terminal emulator
typed su
typed onandroid and it started the backup
will have screenshots when it finished
Screenshots it completed the backup going to reboot and see if it will restore.
Did not restore because I DID NOT SEE THAT THE BOOT IMAGE AND RECOVERY WAS NOT DETECTED ON MY PHONE!!!. If you go to the link posted above by bilgerryan you can download a zip SPECIFIC to your phone that will detect both.
This is where I found the zip for our phones: https://github.com/ameer1234567890/OnlineNandroid/wiki/Supported-Devices

Both BOOT and RECOVERY get unmounted when the OS loads, so without the appropriate Samsung patch, it's not going to find them; however, with the patch, it just makes an IMG of the BOOT and RECOVERY partitions rather than try to TAR the files contained therein.

Onandroid doesn't restore. It only backs up. That said, if you're looking for troubleshooting help, you need to supply more information (e.g. error messages... CWM or TWRP? What version? Whose recovery?).

*bumping* an only few-months' old thread. I may have fooled with this script briefly on my HTC Droid Eris, but forgot about it until not too long ago.
Over the last few days, the author of the script diagnosed a problem with the patch for the SCH-D710 which caused boot/recovery not to be backed up (again, I suppose). Over time he worked out the issue, fixed it and I just wanted to report that it's working 100% (I tested a restore, too) with Agat63's v1.42F kernel at this time.
I want to donate but there is no way to donate to him, so he has an eBay wish list I plan on taking a look at.
It's great to be able to backup anytime without going to recovery.
Great customer service, too!

Did you try this on AOSP? Or just touchwiz?
If it works on TouchWiz I see no reason it wouldn't on AOSP
I had used it on AOSP before, although I was having it use the TWRP backup then and it worked great then too.
Recently, I've only been running TW though.

Hello,
I have ported the latest clockworkmod recovery to the galaxy 8.9 LTE i957 tablet.
This is a recovery and not a kernel, thus you can run whatever you wish.
Instructions:
0) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN I957, do not flash this otherwise.
1) Flash this file via ODIN: CWMR5x_i957_recovery.tar.md5
2) Attempt a backup (there appears to be a bug in 5.5.0.4 that long names can possibly cause it to hang during a backup.) If it works or fails, reboot and mount your tablet in your OS. If you get hung, adb shell into your device and reboot it.
3) After your tab is mounted, go into the clockworkmod folder and create an EMPTY FILE with NO EXTENSION called .hidenandroidprogress
Note the period and lack of extension. This prevents the backup routine from enumerating the file list which I suspect is causing the hang during backup.
This is considered an ALPHA release with only two users thus far. No loss of data or damage was caused in the testing of this file. Please try it and report any issues you have with it. I am hoping this opens up the development for this device. I personally dont have it nor did I have access to one when I ported this so I need the community's help to track down issues/bugs. This was a pretty big challenge to get everything working right.
The full device tree I built for this can be found here:
android_device_samsung_SGHI957
Feel free to use this however you wish, though please give credit if it helps you devs.
Thanks to orlandoxpolice and jaywheelz for patiently testing this thus far.

This is amazing utkanos!

wahoooo!
Oh and hey I helped too, sacrificed one tab to the samsung gods!
I have tested everything with this recovery except for sd card re partitioning, wipe data / factory reset, and restore (nandroid).
Known Issues:
If you enter key test, you cant back out.
nandroid backup may hang for some users, the .hidenandroidprogress may have fixed this.
mounting and unmounting data is finicky sometimes.
Orlando is this the same file we had last night? Or it's it slightly changed since then?
Same file. I also installed cwm from market and enabled quick recovery and it worked
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda premium
I thought cwm from the market causes our tab to go haywire. Is it the as what utkanos did or a different version?
You can install the program just don't flash its recovery. Go into options and enable quick recovery

First testing the backup, the tablet hangs while copying the file "android.hardware.location.xml"
So I created the file ".hidenandroidprogress" (with Polaris office) and I have saved in the dir "clockworkMod/backup." I tried again to backup and it worked.
Now I have to try a restore, but I will tomorrow or the next!
Max
Awesome!
Look forward to hearing the results of the restore!
So was a restore successful?
If so, I may factory reset mine, root, wipe all the junkware/bloatware, garbage bookmarks, do my browser tweaks, a few other random bits and pieces, and post it up here as a cleaned up, rooted stock rom.
Don't have the success of installing it.. it said is a wrong tar or md5 file and it soft bricked it.. guess I'll wait for the next update.. thanks again

Hope they continue to develop

You dont... means busted phone... like i said i could be wrong. Do you have enough space for the nandroid? you need about 2gigs for it to back up properly depending on how much /data you have... like how many apps you have... i have roughly 30-40 and my nandroids are around 800mbs... otherwise yes it will error.

+1 on this. I had just started using 4EXT on my Evo 3d, it was great. I think Clockwork mod is great as well but I prefer 4EXT and TWRP's user interface. I would use TWRP but it seems a lot of mods I wanna flash can't be done with it.

I've gone back to cm touch after using TWRP for a while.
TWRP is great, and I did like the ability to queue zips, but I had trouble with nandroids and with rom manager integration. Basically, I would hit apply in rom manager, and my phone would boot to the menu in TWRP instead of flashing the rom. Ultimately, nothing beats the ease of being able to hit a button in Android, and have the phone reboot and automatically install your updates. (On the other hand, if someone can tell me how to integrate TWRP with rom manager, that'd be awesome...)
With nandroids, the process took about 3 seconds and the files weren't nearly big enough, so I guess it was missing something.

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.

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.

I never understood this question. Best for what? Flashing zips every once in a while? They both do that. What do you want your recovery to do that one or the other do not do? Try them both and see which one appeals to your sense of what's best.

Did you delete .android_secure from internal sd? I had problems till I did that. Also:
QUESTION: Why are the backups size soo small now compared to the previous cwm backups?
ANSWER: Basically on the new cwm all the data is stored in a blobs folder in the clockworkmod folder. The backups folder now doesnt hold the actual data and instead the system and data files contain links to the files in the blobs folder (with the hash of the file as its filename). When you perform another backup only the changes have to be added so it performs incremental backups instead of full backups everytime. You can still flash different roms and back them up as any new data is stored in the blobs folder with the links in the backup folder. Several backups can share the same blobs file so over several backups the total file size of all the backups will be much much smaller. When you delete a backup via cwm you can then free space of the blob files that are no longer needed to keep everything tidy and make sure that no files are stored that arent referenced to any backup. If you don't free the space then any unused files will automatically be deleted when the next backup is performed.

Alright....so alittle history. kc_exactly is to blame and to thank for this. He just got me thinking. Especially with people starting to test the JB port from houstonn. Which only flashes with CWM.
Disclaimer: You do this at your own risk!! Can't blame anybody but yourself if it messes things up!
I installed sk8erwitskil's Touch CWM 6.0.2.7 v14.4.7 from the ATT forums here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34567118&postcount=1.
I wanted to see if it would work as kc had said in a post earlier. And it did and does!!! CWM backup works using .tar. I haven't tried dedup yet.
So what's the purpose of this post you ask? Well, from what I've found out so far, we can install CWM, create a backup using .tar which is default, and restore with it. In "mount and storage" I formated system, data, cache. In advanced, I formated dalvic cache. Pretty much wiping out the phone and it restored just fine. Actually 4 times so far.
So, and again, part of this has been said by kc_exactly, if you keep TWRP, AND CWM6027 recoveries, your ROM of choice, and backups in both TWRP and CWM on your Internal storage you'll be able to bounce back and forth testing the JB port or whatever else will require CWM.
I've done this multiple times now and it's worked everytime!!!
Make a TWRP backup
Install CWM 6027, reboot to system
reboot to recovery and make a CWM backup using .tar
That's it!!
Now each time you want to use a different recovery, just install it, reboot to recovery and restore your backups.
Maybe this is old news, or even a "No sh*t Sherlock" thing. But our CWM had too many issues, and I'm really liking sk8erwitskil's Touch version. And it seems to be working well. I was in CWM for at least 10min straight and it never got hot.
It does have somewhat of a learning curve, so make sure you read sk8's instuctions on the first 2 posts.

If I'm reading the thread correctly, the idea is that you make a backup including the recovery so you can switch back and forth at will.

I'm not sure if this is a question, or a comment? So I'll take it as a question.
You are correct. It's been working great for me so far. I'll bet I've restored over 20 times now and it's worked great. I've put it through all its paces and it's worked fine. I've tested and played with houstonn JB and I gotta say I really like JB!
So from what I can tell, we can use this recovery, and do whatever we want. Play with JB for a while, then switch back to ICS.

I was trying to answer your question. Looks like you figured it out already though.

This is an older recovery. And the wifi has to do with the ROM, more than likely. Go to the TWRP thread or the root guide, under Working Recoveries. There you'll find the newest recoveries. KK included.
Then go to the ROM thread that you flashed and your answer is probably there. If not, ask there.
