hello, I backed up my eclipse ROM to my external storage using safestrap, I did not choose the Compress into zip file option I didn't think it would make a difference. So I decided to delete the ROM and try reinstalling my my backup that I had just created. just in case I really need to do it. I did all the steps again, created slot 1 wipe data, (I compressed the zip in order to flash it) the name of my backup file is TWRP.but anyways when trying to flash it it immediately says Failure. any ideas? I have safestap 3.11 installed.
Never found, I got it lol

On my AT&T Tilt, once you had installed HARDSPL, you could simply run RUU's which were packaged simply as EXE files on your PC and boom ... new ROM.
For those of us who have rooted and run unrEVOked(2) to get us the custom recovery, can someone please explain generally how a new ROM would get flashed.
<edit> tcberg2010 posted a wonderful analysis in a thread with a heading which will guarantee no one reads it... this is what tcberg2010 said:
Download one of the roms from here. http://inc.sodpit.com/. They are mostly stable might get a few random reboots.
Steps:
1. Download Rom of your choice, unrevolved and JagerRomSense are the 2 newest right now.
2. Copy and Paste onto sdcard. Make sure it is not in any directory's of SD card, just on the sdcard.
3. Verify it's there using Astro or some other File Manager.
4. Run Titanium Backup if you haven't already. (If you don't have it, get it, it's must have for root users.
a. Select Menu, Batch, Backup user apps.
b. let it run, this will take some time.
5. When that's done use Rom Manager to reboot into recovery.
6. Do "Wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"
7. Select install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, then select whatever rom you downloaded.
8. When that's done reboot your phone, once your done setting up, download titanium backup, set that up.
9. Select Menu, Batch, Restore User apps.
After that's done you'll have all your apps that you had before, data included, with a fresh new rom to try out. Hope this helps!!
Wipe, Put rom on the root on your sdcard, then re-name the rom update.zip or leave it, go into recovery, flash update.zip, reboot. Very simple.
All you need to do to flash a custom ROM is:
1. You CAN use ROM Manager to flash one by going to Install ROM through SD Card.
2. You can place the .zip file onto your SD Card (it can be named anything) and then go to Install .Zip from SD Card in the Custom Recovery and select Choose File. This will allow you to browse through the files and select the one you want.
Hope this helps.
its easy... Wipe data....then put on SD card search for it with rom manager or with the custom recovery .. and installl its easier than u think i did for the first time ever yesterday no problem
So far I have used update.zip files from the sd card... you can either flash this from Rom Manager or use Clockwork Recovery to flash update from sd card.
In clockwork you select install from sd card- then navigate to where the update is saved on the card and select the .zip you want to install.
In Rom Manager just select the option "Install ROM from SD card" - all you do is direct the app to the .zip you want to install and it takes off from there.
Just remember to backup first.
eezy peezy...
New ROMs stick- updating recovery does not...
Before we change roms and wipe is there a way to backup text messages and restore them after the new rom is installed.

SMS Backup and Restore
Works great and fast
sms backup in the market
???
I thought it was a super bad idea to try to restore data, am I in error?
I thought one would either use MYBACKUPPRO or TITANIUMBACKUP to take only APPS + App Data; but NOT to backup data itself to be restored on a different rom.
All SMS Backup restores is your txt messages, used it on my wives phone and had no adverse affects. I see everyone say flash update.zip, you may already know this, but the recovery that we use does not require us to change to name to update.zip, you can flash any zip, just know what the name is and flash it.
After renaming backup files with rom manager none of those files I can use
to go to that backup up, not using spaces. Anybody has this problem or
I am doing something wrong.

A little more info on this, backup is starting and restoring but cant boot after is done, at the end says something ext sd cant be found. I am able to install any rom with no problem but not the back up cuz I renamed it.

Well clockwork names like this "2010-11-19.22.36.00" that's the name of one of my backups... try renaming to that maby... but I'm not sure how rom manager does it. When I had a nexus one I had same problem when renaming nad backups in its rom manager.

I guess my problem is escalating I tried reg back up that just made and wiped and went back to restore and wont restore of the original backup (not renamed).
Why the backup don't work anyone please make suggestion. Is that upgrade zip file root file in sd causes any problem.
To be more clear restore is doing its job until at the end says finished but the very last line sd ext image something can't be found.

I'm pretty sure sd ext is for apps to sd, hope this helps.
Hi,
I've got Xoom 3.2 and I wanted to perform a backup. Clockwork 4.0.0.4 is what it says is the latest. I also have an Ext SD.
I did a backup as I usually do it from recovery, but it took too long... I reboot and I saw that I was running out of space, already 2.5GB.
My questions are:
- Is it trying to backup the entire Internal SD card?? That is about 30GB of data! I have a Nexus one and I am used to it just backing up that system to external SD? How can I do the backup on xoom without it backing up my Media and music and the big game data?
- Is there a way to make it back up to the External SD card instead of internal?
Will performing a WIPE wipe only system, or will it also wipe the Internal SD?
Thanks,

Yes, that version only sees the internal "sdcard" and will try to make a nandroid of it. You really need to install/reinstall the solarnz R4c Version 3.2.0.0 which was made specifically for the Xoom or at least the Rogue recovery which is based on v 4 but is also customised for the Xoom. As it is, you will not be able to flash from your internal sdcard either.
See, newer isn't always better.
Thanks a lot for the info. I tried to get 3.2.0.0 but when I went to Rom Manager, and looked under the other versions, there was no 3.2.0.0. I guess I have to download from some website and install?
So, say I go and I install 3.2.0.0.
It will see the External, I don't see any setting to specify where backups should go, will 3.2.0.0 aautomatically backup to external sd?
How about what gets backed up from Internal? Id on't want it all backed up!
Thanks,
So, I used 3.2.0.0 and backup went a lot better. Thanks it backed up to my external. The size is 2.5gb out of an internal sd of about 20gb.
I just need to know what it backed up from my internal sd and what it didn't?

One more thing rom manager now only sees the backups on the internal.. so I have to restore from recovery since backs are stored on external.
Just a bit screwed up this whole thing
Both recovery and from manager should have options to let user specify where to back and restore.

I actually stopped using ROM Manager for that reason.
CWM recovery backs up your system image. To further back up apps and their associated data, use Titanium Backup.
And doing a restore from the recovery menu is correct. You can use ROM Manager to get into recovery as long as you don't get tricked into "updating" to another version of cwm recovery.
You could also fool clockwork to thinking it its latest version flashed. This way you can still use rom manager if you choose and still have the latest modded custom recovery.
1. Open Superuser and "Forget" ROM Manager.
2. Open ROM Manager, and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
3. After it downloads, it'll ask for superuser. Uncheck "Remember," and Deny superuser access.
4. Go to /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/, and rename the file that just downloaded to [whateverItIs].img.real. (The next step will be easier if you copy the filename first.)
5. Copy the x. x. x. x to this location & rename it to whatever the new ROM Manager download was called.
6. Open ROM Manager, and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again.
7. This time, Allow superuser.
So what happened was I was dumb enough to try and flash a theme on a non-deodexed stock rom. I got boot looped.
What I did was I made a back up with CWM. My SD card didnt have enough space though so I got an error message with regards to having an error with android secure. What I did was copy the incomplete CWM backup, and the .androidsecure folder in my sd card.
My question is, can I make/edit the zip file so I can restore via CWM all my apps? Not the whole rom (cuz its broken) - just the apps.

You have two options friend-
:thumbup: One is-Go to CWM then choose Backup and Restore option and you will find there a option named Advanced Restore.select it and you can see your backed up rom.then select it and you will see more options; to restore the apps only,select the Restore Data option from there. well.... you have done to flash the apps not whole rom.
If not works....
:thumbup:Another is-Extract your backed up rom's data folder archive and then go to- /data/apps/****.And install the apk files of your backed up rom from here...
Give me a thanks if I have a bit success to helping you....

My backup was corrupted since I didnt have enough space in my SD card. So that didnt work. As for extracting the data, the app folder only includes apk's of apps which are saved in internal memory. I'll just redownload my apps. I still hit thanks for your effort to help.
Hello, everyone, I came to this forum in hope for some advice with a problem I'm having. I'm sure I'll be sticking around as I just got a new S5 for Christmas, though. I apologize if these threads are redundant, but I've searched this forum and Google and haven't found a solution. First things first, I have a T-Mobile S5 running 4.4.2 and I rooted, installed CWM with Phil's Touch and created a backup. I saved the backup to my internal sdcard storage and copied a backup on my PC via usb. I've since deleted the backup saved to my internal storage to save space and would like to place it back in my phone to restore. I have not installed a custom ROM yet or re-partioned anything. The reason I'd like to restore is because my dumb-ass accidentally uninstalled the stock video/audio player while attempting to remove bloatware. I now can't listen to or view any videos sent via text without first downloading them and using an installed app' to play them. (Any tips on this would be nice.) Here's my main issue: when I attempted to place the backup back into my Clockworkmod/Backup/ folder, I'm prompted with a message saying I can't move this item. I've tried moving the file on my PC as well as my phone and had no success. I then tried using a root file manager to manually place the backup into the clockwork folder (it allowed me to put the backup in my phone's storage, but not clockwork's backup folder) and it ended up placing it the folder in clockwork, but not the backup folder. The folders now go: Clockworkmod/'My saved backup' - Backups folder/ empty. I can't move nor delete that file because it is write protected and I have no idea what to do from here. I need to restore my backup and definitely remove the copy that's write protected as it is taking a few gb's of storage. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I will likely give a small Paypal donation to the best response. (preferably tonight, if possible.) Thanks, guys. Let me know if you need any other details.
Update: I just tried installing Phil's Touch Aroma File Manager as I read that can delete/edit write-protected files and I'm not able to launch it in recovery. The folder and zip files were correctly placed, but it won't recognize the folder. I don't understand why my phone isn't recognizing anything in the Clockwork folder.
