Hi all
I want to ask about cwm blobs.. it arrives to use 6gb of my sd card.. can i delete all blobs without create problems to my phone??
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
The "blobs" folder is part of a nandroid backup. Deleting that folder will mean that you won't be able to restore your previous firmware/rom from that nandroid....best to leave it alone....

Worked the backup itselve? Maybe its that. Did you try to restore it in cwm 5.0.2.6. Or 5.0.2.8? You can try that.

First i saw this error and make my phone bootloop is cwm .6 then i try upgrade to .7 same result. Cwm .8 never try cause cannot found installation source

thank for your help,
at google many said that my backup file corrupt, yesterday i try until 3rd time backup, restoring and all fail, so i think corrupt it not the answer
ok thank for all your help guys
i still trying how make it work. i will share if i found the problem
CyanogenMod ROMs are in ext4 filesystem.
Stock ROMs are in rfs filesystem.
When you install CyanogenMod, your phone's internal partitions get formatted to ext4.
Problem is that CWM can format internal partitions to ext4 but not to rfs, so you cant boot your restored backup because of stock kernel failing to mount ext4 filesystem.
You can try custom kernels that are designed for stock and run in ext4 like Phiexz's kernel.
hmm, ic so other word i cannot restoring my stock rom right, because cwm not design to backup stock rom.
so this function backup and restore just for custom rom or stock rom that design for ext4.
hmm....
thank you for your information it very useful for me

This is for Indonesia the latest one thru Kies servers 2.3.6

i know it but all my setting, my contact, my call logs, my message all gone. i use nandroid cause i don't wanna lose all think.
but it already past so i think i don't need the backup again, i move to cm now.
Is there any rom that I can use odin since I don't have microsd?
Only stock based roms that I am aware of. But you don't need sdcard. You can copy them to phone storage and flash them from there.

What he said, but still I'd buy a cheap 2gb sd card at least, as you can't nandroid to internal storage methinks.
Yes,you cant backup on internal sd.
Couldn't you use twrp to backup to internal?
sent from my BAD A$$ Epic touch
You can backup to internal. You could do it on the previous cwm kernels and you can on agats kernel. Haven't tried any others.

Alright so I'm on JB, rooted, Kt kernel and I wanted to factory reset my phone to see if battery life will improve because I've heard it works for some.
My question is, is it better to backup through Kies, reset, and restore from kies backup or will I risk bringing back theb (maybe) source of problems by doing it that way?
Or suck it up and restore from a TWRP or CWM backup. The only reason I prefer the Kies backup is because I hardly have enough memory left on my SD card to hold a Nandroid backup.
Thoughts?

I always hate dealing with kies but i get the issue of memory. That's why i like extra sd card space makes it easier for backups. I prefer cwm but its Ur call

Will the CWM backup include all the pics, texts, etc.?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Do a nandroid on external SD that's where I do mine. Also use titanium you can back it up to dropbox , box or Google.
Sent from my Samsung-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Nandroid on external sd. As far as the pictures go. I have mine default save to the sd. I normally do not format the external sd during restores, backups or rom swaps. So the pictures always remain.
However, one time I left the the sd card installed when I was returning to stock via oden. It wiped both internal and external. So now when oden is involved I pull the external. Just to be sure.

So now to my understanding in TWRP the option to create image.zip is just creating a backup that I can flash right through Odin like a rom as opposed to the option to create a backup?
What can I do with that option to create a backup? Is that also an odin flashable zip?

Usually Odin doesn't flash zips but it creates a flash able zip through cwm
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yea I meant CWM. Thats the recovery I had installed that allowed me to create the image.zip
So basically that just creates the exact state that my phone is in and allows me to flash it via cwm to get right back to that state.

If you've done a factory reset before installinh new rom you will have wiped it. You need to set cwm to store on your ex sdcard
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
Try using a sd card analyzer or something and look for a big folder.
It might be there.

I have a question about the process of moving back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2
I was Testing the latest MIUI v5 build bu team noob and I flashed back to stock rooted MC2.
After booting MC2 I went to recovery and flashed the ZIP from the CM10.1 thread to downgrade back to 4.1.2
Now I have duplicate data in sdcard and data/media and I also have a folder 0
Should I just delete the 0 folder and the data/media folder or will that break the files in the sdcard folder?
Thanks in Advance!
I deleted the 0 folder after I transfered everything in it I needed. Hasnt been a problem.

Lol I was nevvveerr aware of this. Did this JUST started happening for galaxy note 2? Never flashed aosp since almost every Google phone out there has it and really ain't that appealing as the TW UI. But back in the HTC days I never had to flash a zip in order to boot up back on sense UI. How wieerd what happens if you download an aosp ROM and just wipe everything and flash a TW ROM???
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
This started when they updated the base to 4.2.2
Since there are no 4.2.2 TW roms for our device it only shows up in aosp based roms

I always odin back when I install aosp roms, that way I know all the partitions are the way they are supposed to be.
