I can't get CWM back on my G Pad - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't get ClockworkMod back on my Pad, and I need it to restore a backup. I have TWRP on now, and my backup will only restore under CWM. I can't boot into the bootloader, because that's locked -- I had to perform an emergency restore, which downloaded & installed the latest firmware from LG. Where do I start?
Thanks!

The same way you made the backup,in recovery mode.If you managed to do the backup, i'm sure you will find the restore too.
HINT: it's the next row,below the backup one.
Completely stock means yu wan to go back with bootloader locked.....??

Question on procedure

I flashed original image t bfn ended update (value package), then rooted and used FreeGee to put on TWRP.
Can I flash value package again without losing data or does that wipe everything and do I have to re-root?
I used TiBU so my apps will still be around.

It depends on if you have the full update ROM included or just the software add on.

TWRP back to CWM?

Hey all, looking to make my phone stockish again and I have TWRP installed and want to get the CWM reinstalled to restore my original backup. I've already done everything though FreeGee ect, and tried to reinstall CWM through that but it was a no go. Can anyone point me to an .img file for CWM that will work with E980, I saw one for E988 but wasn't sure it it would work. Thanks for any help!
Just use freegee.

Use a backup to restore to stock and switch back.

Flashing a backup question

Hey, I just flashed AOSP KitKat but when I boot into twrp, my backups are gone. When I boot into the rom, they're there when I check my file browser. I had a backup backed up to my laptop and just put it in the root of my storage. Can I just flash it like I would a custom rom through the "Install" menu? Or will that mess something up?

Quick question

Is it possible to back up my phone before flashing a rom?

Yup - MyBackUp Pro OR Titanium Backup for data - Or a CWM backup of everything.
Yes it is. Referred to as a Nandroid. Reboot into your custom recovery CWM or TWRP, select back up, the destination of the back up to internal or external and run it. Hope that helps.

What he said about nandroids. And I like to use Titanium Backup PRO to backup my apps and data. Also, there are many SMS backup apps that don't need root.
