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.

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?

So I have been using Rom Manager/Clockwork recovery since I got the S3 (sprint),
I have all my backups on the sd card (external). It asked me to update Rom Manager/new clockwork mod for Sprint,
so I did. Now I can not see any of my sd card contents and backups. In Clockwork recovery I go to backups and see none,
I go to install zip from sd card and it shows all the files in the phones INTERNAL system memory, not my external sd card,
I maybe I am a noob (not really), but I can not find out how to get clockwork recovery to see the external sd card instead of the
internal, so I can get at my files/backups. Maybe it is a problem since I have the 32gb S3 instead of the 16gb standard?

Go to the bottom of the menu in ROM Manager and choose the all versions (or something like that). You should have the option to flash an earlier version of CWM. Choose the earliest version, flash it, reboot into recovery, and you should be fine. I would give you version numbers, but I have moved to TWRP for recovery.
Just use twrp its better in every way
Well thanks, kinda. Going back to the earliest version of clockwork DOES allow me to see the files on the SD card (external),
but now under ext sd/clockworkmod/backup/ ALL my backups say the name with / after it such as 2012-08-16-Stock/
when I chose one, it says no files found, Like it is looking at a directory instead of the backup file which should NOT have a / after it.
Any ideas?
Yeah, but you can't use your old clockwork/nandroid backups with twrp,
so I would lose everything!
Ok, I got it to work using the oldest clockwork recovery and not being an idiot.
Once I was able to see the external sd card, I was trying to install my backup from zip.
When I went to backup and restore and restored it from there, it allowed me to chose the
correct file and it worked. And yes, twrp looks slick and allows choosing internal or ext sd,
if I had a new phone without a bunch of stock and cyano backups already in clockwork,
I would go with twrp. But twrp SHOULD make the clockwork mod backups compatible, or offer
a converter program, because who can really switch if they can't use any of their old backups?

Copy those CWM backups over to your computer (rename them as needed to be able to remember what they are). Install TWRP and start using it for your backups. If you ever need/want to go back to one of those earlier backups you can always go flash CWM over TWRP and re-install them. If you want to, you could even do a restore in CWM then flash TWRP, then back it up in TWRP, back to CWM, back to TWRP, etc., until you have them all in both formats. Depending upon how many backups you have that may or may not be all that time consuming.

Nice idea, but CWM has been the standard and reliable for so long. I don't know if I would trust my
backups to TWRP yet. But maybe I could start using it and just save a couple old backups one of Cyano and one stock.
I don't want any black screens, bricks, or problems because I don't know ADB and am not great with problems/odin.
Will TWRP give me more or less headaches than Clockwork witch I am used to? And can you run it from a phone app like
Rom Manager runs clockwork?
Thanks guys
Gotta admit, I'm fairly new to TWRP myself, but I am not aware of an integrated app like ROM Manager and CWM. As far a reliability, I know TWRP has been around a while and while it may not be as widespread as CWM I trust most of the people who I checked with who say that TWRP is not only as good as CWM, but even better. I know it takes a while to get used to a new UI and program, but with time I am sure I will feel as comfortable with TWRP as I was with CWM.
no sdcard (microsd)

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.
Hey guys , seeking help from the pros here.
I tried to install a new rom yesterday and mistakenly hit the format SD option instead of format System to clean phone before installing a new Rom. Now my problem is my internal memory has no files now, when going in cwm and trying to install rom from internal memory it says there are no files.
So i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can flash files back into the phone, i tried Odin and some of the flash stock rom guides here but i boot loop and it removed my cwm, so when i go into recovery i actually go into androids stock recovery mode. I have tried to flash cwm again and that seems to work but still no files in the phone. Help.

You should be able to mount sd card from recovery. Choose that option in advanced. I use twrp now and it's a bit easier to use than com. Once you mount the sd card find it on your computer move the rom zip there. Now unmount the sd and flash away.

Twrp seems easier to use and it has big buttons with the touch screen.
If you have an external sd put the rom on it from your pc. Then select external sd from twrp by touching it where it says internal and select external. Now flash a custom rom.

I have rooted sgh-t999 stock ROM 4.3. When I take backup in CWM recovery its completed and showing in recovery mode.
How can I download the backed up ROM into my windows PC or on cloud.
All applications required root are working fine. I have CWM version 6.0.4.5, Rom Manager v5.5.3.7.
Rom Manager unable to show backed up ROM even after upgraded to premium.
It should be on a folder called CWM or clockworkmod either on your internal or external SD

CWM Recovery mode also tells me the same folder clockworkmod/backup, but I cant find this backup folder in internal or external SD.
