I recently switched from TWRP to CWM because I had trouble flashing CM11 in TWRP. Anyway since I am new to CWM I have these two noob questions:
(1) Does CWM backup EVERYTHING the same way TWRP did? In TWRP, I had the option to check everything (system, data, cache, etc) to backup, and restoring a backup restored absolutely everything. CWM didn't give me any options to check during backup and plus the backup files are much smaller than those in TWRP.
(2) As you can see in the screenshot below, cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, and system.ext4.tar are all 0 B in size. Is this normal?

If you just wiped data and cache then made the backup then those files would be 0 bytes. But there should be an advanced backup option then you can chose what to backup. I use twrp Abe have no problems but try out philz. It's just like cwm but has more options and is full touch but you can still use hardware buttons.

I am trying to return to stock in order to update via OTA. I have restored with CWM with stock Nandroid, and everything went fine except for android.secure has failed to restore. Then after trying to return recovery to the stock one (my version is 2.17) I still get to CWM 5.8.4.0, no matter how many times I flash it and erase cache.
Under this circumstances I am unable to update with OTA. Can any one help me with this?

I get this screen when trying to access Recovery. Is this stock? I just checked here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067001 ) and it looks similar to the one in HOX+

yeha that is stock recovery.
I have a Virgin Mobile Galaxy S II (which is just a rebranding of the Sprint Epic Touch 4G).
I'm rooted, running CM 10.2 nightlies (no stable versions available)
New build update came, I downloaded and updated to it, it updated my phone from 4.2.2 to 4.3.1, I was happy, seemed a lot smoother
Couldn't get any data or wifi though, so I rebooted, but my phone wouldn't get past the screen that says Samsung Galaxy S II
Booted into recovery, tried restoring the nandroid backup I made just before installing the new build
Won't restore boot image, I can use advanced restore to restore system, data, cache, etc, but not boot, which is kinda important since I can't turn use my phone without it
Help pls
EDIT: So I just kept trying to reboot it because I had nothing better to do while trying to find a solution, and it randomly worked, so I am back wjere I was before I installed the new nightly build.
BUT, I just made a new nandroid backup since the one I had lacked /boot, but as I was making the new nandroid backup it said this:
06:25:51 /boot not found! Skipping backup of /boot!
06:25:51 Consider installing patch file for your device, for a complete nandroid!
06:25:51 /recovery not found! Skipping backup of /recovery!
So apparently my phone has no /boot right now or /recovery, so I can't turn my phone off until I get a new one. Any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.
Just flash a different ROM or the one you were on before. Make a new nandroid. Restore the data portion if you want.

ROM: ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.1-20160715-t0lte
SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip?retrieve_file=1
Recovery: ClockWorkMod
So, I probably did something dumb and I'm stuck on the boot animation which loops forever. I can get into Recovery and Bootloader. I previously had a working install of the ROM listed above but I thought I needed to regain root (apparently it is already rooted but that was turned off or something) so I downloaded the SuperSU file to the device and rebooted into Recovery. I installed the SuperSU and rebooted but now I have the problem. Please advice. This is my first time ever using a custom ROM and I had it working fine before I did this to myself...

I suggest flashing TWRP as CWM has not been updated for a long time. Once TWRP is on the phone, perform a full system wipe and re-install a custom ROM.

Thank you for your reply!
I was unaware that CWM was so out of date; it did work well before I tried to root an already rooted ROM. But I will try TWRP in any case. Still, I was hoping to solve this issue without wiping/reinstalling everything as I have data I want to preserve. If there is no way out of this mess except that, I will use ADB to get what data I can, then reinstall.
I am new to titanium backup. I have the pro version I am just trying to figure out if there is a way to make a backup of user apps into a zip file so that I can save on flash drive and flash onto device after I format data and flash a new rom. Does anyone have any help on these and titanium backup
I don't know about a zip. The way I normally do it is I let Google restore my apps, then I go into Titanium Backup (I've already place my backup folder onto the device with my backups), go to Menu in the top left, then Batch options. Now choose Restore all Apps will h Data. In that option there is an choice at the top to only restore data, which is what I choose since Google installed the apps already. However if you want you can install just Titanium Backup and do the apps and Data together. So not a zip, but at least that will do them all at once.

Go to the batch option and select this option.

[Guide] Noobs guide to use Titanium Backup for backup and restore of apps.
I just installed twrp,
Wiped data, internal, meta data
now I can't transfer the ROM file to my internal

Have you formatted (not wiped) the data?
Reflash stock ROM using MiFlash tool and reinstall TWRP. Do not wipe anything....just flash the ROM u want, Format data (yes), reboot to TWRP, reboot to system.

The right steps are:
1 fastboot boot twrp.img
2 Flash rom with inject twrp checked
3 Reboot to recovery
4 Flash Magisk ( if required) else
5 Format data by typing yes
6 Reboot to system
U mean detailed steps, not the right one because my way is right too but not so....detailed lol
Don't ever format data until you're done flashing whatever ROM you're flashing or you'll have issues. If you do you'll have to reboot to system again then reboot back into TWRP, then you should be good again. Use a USB C Flash Drive to put all of your important stuff on including the ROM you're flashing as it's much easier.
