Anyone knows how to fix??
Im running gioprio 1.4

That happened to me, when I was using the "stock" cwm with CM7.1.
I had to flash another cwm which came with the rom. Maybe you should look around if the Giopro rom has one too.
(Or just simply try to flash a newer version)

I will try, do you know if gioprio uses rfs or ext4 file system??

I never used it, so I have no idea. But this post suggests, there are problems with ext4:

The changelog however says, 1.4 supports EXT3/EXT4

yes, because giopro 1.4 is rfs

[Q] Help: Which CWM to flash?

Hi guys, i want flash Cyanogen Mod 7.2 on my phone, but I need Clockwork Recovery Mod First. In the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650), under 5.0.2.7, there is options for either ext4 or ext4+rfs. I am currently using stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread, which one should i use?

Ext4 + rfs
Sent from my GT-S5660

Thank you very much! If i may ask, what is the reasoning behind that? Also, i am looking to install Cyanogen mod 7.2. Should i install the ext4 formatter? It says
"If you from stock / custom rom based on rfs filesystem, u must flash ext4-formatter.zip before flash CyanogenMod. Otherwise you'll stuck on android logo because it cant mount rfs filesystem!"
Does this apply to me?

Its for newer version of CWM wich is under construction, I flashed from stock but extformatter isnf needed

I flashed from stock also, but alway get stuck at backing up cache
I managed to make a backup ones, but that one had hash check errors.
I asked a couple of times in the original thread, and even pm'ed Phiex.
But it seems I'm on everyones ignore list

Try to roll back first to ginger and then flash it again start from flashing cwm, i recommend using phiex rom, it's stable and not too difficult to flash

I know how to flash a custom rom, but I really don't want to flash it yet, because I'm (patiently ) waiting until CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5660-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5 is ready.
And I agree that would probably fix it, but only because the system partition get's formatted to EXT4.
I just want to be able to backup my rooted RFS stockrom before flashing a custom rom.
PS.
Sorry for hijjacking this topic, didn't mean to do that.

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.

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

that size is corrupt..
if you allready flashed to stockrom with odin.. its mean your system is RFS.. and if you want to nandroid backup... use recovery support rfs only... CWM 5.0.2.6 by hyriand.
go to this thread .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313215
but, if you have customized/ formated your stock with other kernel with ext4 system.. you have to use Recovery with ext4 support.. use this
