Hello xda, literally like 10 minutes ago I updated my cwm touch recovery to 3.0.3.8 something like that.
So after I updated I decided it was time for me to make an updated nandroid back up of my rom so I completely forgot that I had 3 Gb left of internal memory and I wanted it to back it up to my external SD so it was too late for me to go back so I left the process complete but during BACKING UP DATA a few seconds after it started backing it up it gave me an error about a log file. Can't really remember what exactly said so It left me on cwm menu so I took advantage to back it up in my external SD so it finished and right after it booted up the phone was warning me that my storage was almost full so I thought it was the bad nandroid so I went up to the cwm folder and there wasn't anything so I went to my storage to see were the problem was and it gave me something that don't seem right.. Someone knows how to get it back?

Try mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup (need root file explorer) see if you have any backup there.
Yes that did the trick thank you!!

Your error had nothing to do with storage space. I experienced the same error on my SGH-M919 with a message about the log file and opening ROM Manager to report the issue although my error specifically stated that it had failed to mount the External SD card. Like you, the error occurred immediately after "upgrading" to a newer version of CWM (from within ROM Manager Premium). I reinstalled the new version of CWM recovery twice from within ROM Manager and continued to get the same error both times so I flashed PhilZ Touch 5 which I already had on my ExtSD card and which is built on an older CWM base 6.0.3.3. PhilZ Touch 5 is successfully creating a nandroid backup for me as I type this.

i'm using 3.1.0.1 of CW and i recently installed the latest Hawk mod. Have everything setup the way i like and yet when i go to do a backup whether through 3 finger boot or ACS or Rom manager i get the above error. Never had the issue before using any other ROM but can't get past this error. Tried searching but just not finding the answer. I thought about doing a re-install of CW but will that wipe any of my good backups out?
Did you rename your backups? If not there is a string of ADB code you can use to fix the md5 mismatches. I am not on my computer now but I googled Samsung Epic md5 mismatch fix and it was one of hits there.

Man, this happened to me a few times on the CWM 3.1.0.1. I have been testing the ACS Recovery for almost 2 months and it hasn't happened once. You may want to try it out if you can't fix those mismatches. Nandroids will restore from 3.1.0.1 but only if those MD5's match

i tried that but it also errors out then reboots... any other ideas? i want to try some other ROMS out but if i can't restore my current ROM then that won't be good....
If you have ADB set up you can try these to restore a MD5 mismatch:

When I got the MD5 mismatches, it basically screwed up everything that was on my SD card. Its always a good idea to backup everything on your SD card to your PC. For instance, my Epic Touch didn't come with an SD card. I took my class 6 16gig card from my Epic, backed it up and put it in my ET4G. Sure enough, after a week I got a corrupt SD card pop-up saying format was required. I formatted it and put my music, wallpapers, and pictures back on the SD and all is good now. Actually, the phone is a bit faster. Its not fun starting from scratch but sometimes its a blessing in disguise. An Odin, re root, format SD card is good every now and then. If I didn't have that backed up on my lappy, I would have lost 500 songs, tons of apps etc..I learned that the hard way

My phone was rooted and I did a backup before flashing it to a starburst v1.7 rom. I did everything correct and now my phone just keeps doing a soft reboot every 10 seconds no matter what.
When I tried to restore it from the CWM recovery screen it says "error sd card not mounted", so therefore I can't even restore. I've done the rooting and flashing soo many times on my other android phone right before I switched to Sprint.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
Ddownload a .tar file and flash stick rom and kernal and try again?
Did u access cwm manually? Try to use rom manager off the market see what happen. Internal sd or external sd u talking about? When u access to cwm mount and storage check there too.

Hello,
I had this same problem, just go back to stock using Odin & you will be good to go. You can also trying updating to the latest clockword- that has worked for me before as well.
There were some rushed CWM builds released. You may want to try a newer release
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Ok, this is what you do.
In cmw, there is an option to mount the phone to a computer, i cant recall where it is in this version. After selecting it, connect your phone to your computer, and move your backup from ur sd card to the phones internal memory, and then restore it from internal memory.

How many backups do you currently have? Remove some old one to make room for new ones

Did you rename the file? If you did, it needs to not have any spaces. Soithastolooklikethis.

sd is full
My guess it's because your sd is full, make some room and try again. Backup important files to your pc and save a couple gigs for the space the backup needs. Also, I have found that backing up from the rom manager app and rebooting recovery and backing up from cwm recovery produces different md5 sums, so I generally only backup while in recovery and not from the rom manager app itself.
hi folks,
thanks for the replies but the sd card isn't full as i've formatted it so there's no way the external is full.
come on, i'm not that big of a noob

I've done tons of back ups in the past month, and restores, but I just recently started getting the error as in the op, and now it runs until it gets to image back up, and says it errors backing that up, and then quits. I have 6 GB free on my card, and I only keep the last successful back up in case of fails like this. I haven't changed anything on my own, and the same ROM I backed up last week I now can't. Somewhere something went bad I'm guessing, but I'm glad it's not me that did something wrong. I will try an internal save to see if that works. If that works then I will wipe my card's CW file, and try a fresh one. Maybe just doing a complete factory reset, and fresh new ROM will do the trick. I'll keep ya all posted since more than one is having this issue.

I had the same problem. To solve it all I did was open ROM Manager and reflash CWM.

No go for me. Just re-flashed CWM, and it still fails trying to back up image to either internal or external. ugh
Well I flashed a new rom from scratch, and now it works again. The old one must have gotten corrupt.

Sunday my phone said "android system recovery 3e failed to mount" I can still odin with the computer and get into recovery but nothing on my flash card is readable and that is where all my roms are located. Sprint tech played with it for an hour said it was bricked and they couldn't do anything. Yesterday I realized hope because I could still flash odin it just wouldn't recognize my card. I kept getting the fallen over droid with red print saying not installed. I kept flashing all different one click's and even at one point wet my pant's because my phone now said on rebott Galaxy I9000 which when I did this before I was totally bricked.
I reformatted my sd card and odin one click from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954
then my phone rebooted with stock gb27 then to make sure everyting was good I updated the software from Samsung's website and my phone has benn great since yesterday 3:00 pm. I'm hesitant from rooting agian since this would have been the 4th bricked E4GT and I've got until 12/13 before upgrade. Running stock has been good otherthan me being a tablet mode junkie.
In closing I think what did the best was reformatting my sd card, I'm not sure what happens when doing that but I did acces my card from my computer and take my important files off 32gb card before formating in case I lost items. Didn't end up loosing anythining but i'm a junkie not an expert.

Everything on my internal and external storage remained intact. I just vol down power button to get into download mode and odin form the link http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166.
It actually booted not for sure why this link was different than the others however it worked. After this installed and I set the phone up I then went to samsungs site and did the update from themevice(Install),Others (Software) (ver.OS Update GB27 (Jelly_Bean)).
It works fine now funny thing sprint tech's said to only update software through kies and it never worked for me.
Main question's everyone asked me was: What screen freezes, how far can you get it to boot, can you see your sd card, when it doid crashes trying to install what color is the print and what exactly does it say?
As mentioned in many posts, usually I make backup before flashing any rom. With Philz 5.15, I was able to make backup of DN3 version 1, 2 and 3. Problem started after installation of DN3 version 3.1. Whenever I try to make backup in Philz, it simply doesn't make any backup and goes to usual menu. I have still 15 Gb space in ext SD card and 6 Gb in phone memory. Any sugesstions?
To elaborate further, problem started when during installation of DN3 v3.1, option of full wipe in aroma was enabled. This led to phone being stuck in Samsung logo boot loop. With difficulty came out of this boot loop. Then found that cannot make backup either via philz or rom manager etc
Even tried TWRP flashing and it also gave following error message
E: error opening /data/data/com.android.settings
E: Error :too many open files
Ok problem sorted after trial and error technique. Problem was that with each flashing, lot of application data remained in data partition despite usual wipes ands even factory resets. So after formating internal drive and re flashing was able to make back up with twrp
