[Q] Clockworkmod Restore Problems

Hi all.
I have a clockworkmod problem -
Following an update i applied, i cannot boot past android launch screen. no problem i thought, i had just made a backup from clockworkmod )). So i rebooted into recovery, and selected restore - the clockworkmod tells me i have no backups (there were 3 backups at least there...). the sd card mounts to clockworkmod as i can see its contents when browsing for a zip to install.
I then went to reinstall the rom from fresh, but as i dowloaded through rom manager, i can only see the 7.0.3 cyanogen update, not the full rom...
So i'm stuck with my desire unable to boot - i cant copy over a backup or rom image, and there are no backups on my card (but there were!!!).
Any ideas?
ps , yes i have used search but can't find anything that'll help me.

Ignore.

You can always take your SD card out of the phone, and using a memory card reader (or similar), download a ROM on your PC and copy across to your SD card. Put it back in the phone and boot into recovery and flash away...
Good Luck

yeah i thought that would be possible, just don't have a micro-sd reader...
is ther any other way of getting data onto the sdcard without using a card reader?

What did you update?
You could use fastboot to push the ROM file to your sd card.
And / or use recovery to mount the sdcard.

i attempted to flash lordmod kernel + PUV mod. i knwe that the PUV can be problematic, so backed up before i flashed. the backup complete, and i flashed the kernel. after finding the kernel wasn't working, i went to restore and no backups there at all...
looking up restore via fastboot now. only problem i have a mac, but could run it via VM...
maybe quicker to drive to the store to get a reader!!

OK, finally got fastboot working on my mac, device recognised as "HT11MRX11410 fastboot"
i have nothing shown with "adb devices"
How do i flash a rom or a clockworkmod backup to this device using fastboot?

[Q] Can not find CWM recovery file

I backed up my phone the other day by making a recovery file in CWM but when i went to restore it i couldnt find the file, it only showed old back ups from a previous phone on the sd card and not the one i had just made. It seems as if the recovery point was stored on the phone but I cant find it anywhere. Any thoughts?

What version of cwm are you running? And is it the same version you backed up with. The reason I ask is that 5.0.2.6 won't backup or restore to the phones internal storage, only an external microSD card. That version is whats currently packed with the Rogue v1.1.1 kernel so you won't see the internal memory option to backup or restore. You'll need to flash or Odin a different kernel or at least a different version of cwm to be able to restore from internal memory.

well i'm able to see the internal and external but i cant find the recovery file. one time after clicking on a install zip from sd card>then scrolling up and down then going to back and then to backup/restore, it just popped up..but i cant duplicate that

[Q] Unable to save CWM Backups on ext Sd card?

I'm unable to store my CWM Rom Manager Back-ups on my ext SD Card. The option in settings is greyed out. I've done some research and can't find a resolution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

in CWM recovery i just click backup to external sd card works like a charm. I don't use rom manager, but in the recovery if you hit back up there is a menu that asks backup to internal or external storage.

[Q] no os installed !are you shure you want to reboot

rooted my phone sgn2 and installed twrp downloaded jelly thunder blackout to my sd card fowllowed steps,dalvc wipe,cache wipe ,wipe system and then i flash jtbo rom and it failed. i got a bad download and im not shure what to do.any help would be appriciated . and i have every thing backed up.

If you made a Nandroid before flashing just restore it. If not and you have an external sd card shut down the phone and remove the sd card and use a computer to dl a rom and put it on the card. Put the card back in the phone and boot directly into recovery and flash rhw rom. If you dont have a ext sdcard then there is probably a way to adb push a rom to the internal sdcard with a computer but you'll have to google that one, , I'm a little rusty on adb. Another option is trying to reboot to bootloader and flash a stock rom with odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ter - [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Sasktel]Link for odin instructions and roms.

sometimes you just need to reboot back into recovery. Just last night after wiping with TWRP I got "Failed" message when trying to flash the best international stock ROM. I simply reboot the phone back into recovery and then it flashed fine.

Twrp not creating backup

Hey guys I have the virgin mobile desire 816 with cm11. For some reason I backup to my external SD and it says it completed successfully but when I reboot back into recovery it's not there. I then go back into root explorer and I confirm that the backup has no files. It just has the name of the folder. Anybody have any idea what's wrong?

Just use. ...the latest twrp then select micro sd ..then backup it .......to my side was happen while am using cmw...

You CAN NOT use TWRP on the Virgin Mobile version of this phone. Either use Philz cwm, or regular cwm.
