I was running CWM and decided to go back to TWRP for various reasons.
I used Goo Manager to flash the latest version. After flashing I went into recovery to make a backup of Wicked...then rebooted.
I then went to Rom Manager to see my backups....nothing there. Soooo I did another backup from Rom Manager.
After it rebooted I looked at my backups...still nothing.
So im back on CWM. Has anyone had this problem? Curious to know why its doing this.

ROM Manager is made by the same individual that made CWM. Makes sense they work together.
Not surprised ROM Manager can't see TWRP backups.

You just don't know how to use TWRP or CWM very well.
If you saw CWM and TWRP successfully backing up your rom then the problem
is that you don't know how to navigate in those recoveries and find the backups.
You need to get better acquainted with twrp and cwm, if you do you will find the backups.
Perhaps they are in a folder... (hint hint)..........
I am very familiar with both. There are NO backups in the TWRP folder. Also Rom Manager list your backups. Once again it shows no TWRP backups. And yes I had Rom Manager set up for TWRP

If you just want to find the nandroid backups, why not simply use Root Explorer, or another
file manager and find the backups, that way you will see exactly where they are located.
Once you find the backups, you can move or copy them to any other folder you like
and restore with CWM or TWRP.
If you cannot find the backups, it means that twrp and or cwm did not successfully create the backups.
Good luck!
I have Root Explorer. TWRP files are empty. Oh well im gonna hang in CWM till I figure this out. TY for ur help

Rom Manager does list TWRP backups. As long as its your current recovery.

Can you delete a rom off your sd card after youve installed said rom and done a nandroid backup? will that backup still bootup and run correctly
If you talking about the actual ROM zip file then yes you can delete it. If you are talking about deleting other Nandroid backups yes you can. Just make sure you don't delete the most recent nand backup.
thank you sir
I usually like to keep my ROM on my SD card so if something goes wrong, at least I have it. The only time this practice has ever been useful was when I flashed Amon Ra and tried to flash a new ROM. Went into bootloops and found out the hard way that Clockwork nand backups don't work with Amon Ra. Because I had my ROM, I fixed it easily.
Just my two cents. Nandroids usually do the trick, though.

I usually keep 2 nand backups on my SD card 1 stock sense and 1 of my current rom. If I have any other roms Ill just save them to my pc to keep room in the sd card clear.
finding this out now flashed amon ra 1.8 and doesnt see any downloaded roms on sd card, rebooted phone and i have no service. working off wifi only, rom manager is gone and I cant access the market to download ,any ideas
"the process com.android.phone has stopped"
Do you have Rom Manager? If so you can try flashing ClockworkMod...
Sorry, just reread your post...

Place the ROM on the root of your SD card. It must not be in your download folder.
I learned my lesson today and will always keep a zip of a rom on my card. The latest version of clockwork was a bust. I couldn't use my phone for almost 2 days. Thank god I fixed it.

OK. so what happens if you are running beliEVO and then flash Cyanogen. Can you restore a backup from a previous ROM without bricking the device? And if you can will app data be there?

If you had done a nandroid backup of the beliEVO rom before flashingCyanogen rom, then yes, your can restore the backup and all the apps will be there.
But it's always a good thing to backup the apps before flashing a new rom.

Awesome. Same rules apply if it was not specifically a Nandroid? I used ROM manager prior to flashing Cyanogen.
This is a helpful thread, i was also wondering this...
I have a question, can I rename my nandroid backups on my SD card so I know which backups are which?
Also, sorry to sorta hijack your thread, but I backup my apps with mybackup, and data with titanium, but how do I restore that info if/when I flash a new rom? I'm using cm6 and loving it but would like to try more... thanks!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yes, you can rename backups for both RA and CWM backups, I've has issues with putting spaces in the names though so use _ or -
I was just wondering if anyone can help me with an issue I'm having.
When I go into rom manager and try to back up current rom, it goes through the process but then it says it failed and to reboot phone and open rom manager to report error.
Am I doing somthing wrong?
I've done it once before but when I change to the new rom I have, it won't let me back it up.
Thanks for any help in this matter

Didn't think you could use rom manager for backups but if you need to backup just boot into recovery via 3 finger salute and go to backup and restore and backup that way. That way you have a for sure nandroid backup. Just don't rename the file it creates.

im on the one rom manager installs 6.0.1.2, and its the at&t sg3. i don't usually like to use rom manager but i couldn't get the recovery to install using terminal commands.
You may wanna try team win recovery.
Uninstall ROM manager and install goo manager. Then you open it, hit menu key and install recovery script. Reboot in recovery and try

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?

I've just made a backup with cwm but now I can't find it anywhere in my file..
Running stock ROM
Anyone knows how to remove this backup? Memory is full
Don't have root.
Probably it is in internal sd card. Search for a folder called CWM.

Nope, I did it on my friends phone, was going to flash Liquid Smooth for him, so made backup for safety but the backup took 3gb space and that was all he had left.
I used this one (CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
I stopt after step 6, only wanted CWM recovery because Liquid Smooth would give root automaticly.. I did everything right,
- CWM worked
- Made backup (didn't know it would be 3gb)
- Rebooted, phone says not enough memory
- Can't find the backup. Really NOWHERE, trust me.
- CWM was not installed anymore when I again booted in recovery.
So the problem is that cwm is not installed anymore? If I flash md5. again with odin to get cwm will I find the nandroid backup?
I really need to solve this, it's my friends phone soo..
I made backup for safety, but now the backup is the problem because it's so big and can't be found.
Thanks
