I rooted my friends Sprint S4 and wanted to flash CWM touch.
I flashed CWM touch 6.0.4.4 and tries to run a backup of his stock ROM before I flashed something else onto it... but it says an error occurred when backing up system. I'm truing to backup to external SD card.
Anyone recommend a different version of CWM touch recovery that doesn't give this issue?

I want to use this app for partitioning sd cards and other,but when i want to do something the app says i need CMW recovery ,odd thing is,i already have the CMW rec. v2.5.0.7.
Should i allow the app to proceed,and flash the recovery or what ? (im guessing it want to flash a diff version?)
Yes, let it continue. It should only install the 'fake flash' version of CWM which is ok.

CMW Flashing
Heloo there m new to XDA.i've got KARBONN A11..i want to install CMW in my device..googled all the methods but unable to flash.So will anyone help me to flash it on my Karbonn A11??
I have an international LG G2. I'm trying to update it to CM 11, but my CWM recovery is version 6.0.4.0 and I need 6.0.4.4. I tried updating through ROM Manager, but every time I boot into CWM, it's still version 6.0.4.0. I tried to use ROM Installer, but came across an error. I tried using Flashify to update CWM by manually downloading the CWM recovery image online, but also came across an error. Would really like to fix this problem.
I'm also having this issue on the ATT model, with the "6.0.4.5 CWM-based recovery" that came with Freegee. Trying to get the legit CWM 6.0.4.4 to flash and I can't do it.
Grab the zip file. Boot into recovery and install the zip. Never user rom manager ut doesn't work well with this phone

Zip file? I can only find the img files on CWM's official website. I tried to use Flashify to install that, but when trying to boot into recovery, the phone got stuck at bootup and I had to hard reset it and it went back to normal with the recovery still at 6.0.4.0 unfortunately.
Been using Phil's recovery lately it is built off of cwm . http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d800

Hello everyone! Think that I did something kinda stupid today..but not sure. I have installed cwm recovery (philz version, latest) but today I was transfering over a backup to my pc (I removed it from phone to pc), well that was what I thought..(the file was TWRP, since it was a twrp nandroid backup and I had twrp before cwm) so later, when I tried to go to recovery, I couldn't, I tried with FreeGee, but nothing happened...so does this mean that I have lost my recovery? I tried to put the files back on phone where they was but it doesn't seem like that have helped...
So any other methods to get into recovery mode? And have I lost it by deleting a twrp file containing a backup and a twrps. file on 2kb?
P.s when I look into the TWRP folder, I don't have the twrps file....is that the problem, and what is that file? Is it loki or something?
P.S 2: My phone is working fine..
Anyone?
If you're still rooted, you could install Goo Manager, which will allow you to install a recovery.

I do have root, and I am running cloudystock 1.2 (kitkat), but can I just install a recovery since I am on a stock kitkat rom? Think I have done it now.....
What ROM did you have when you first installed cwm?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
I had stock 4.2.2 rom when I first installed recovery, but I overwrited my twrp recovery and installed cwm (that too on stock 4.2.2 rom
Try installing Quick Boot (free in the Play Store.) It provides an easy way to boot into recovery. This should show whether CWM or TWRP are still on your phone.

I deleted some knox files from my gt i9505 and then my phone wouldnt boot up. It would get stuck on samsung logo. When i tried to restore a nandroid backup it said md5 mismatch. Btw i did rename thr backup and afterwards i heard this could cause problems. Then i went to the settings of philz recovery and unchecked the option where the recovery checks the md5 sum. After that i decided to try to restore again with the md5 thing off. It began to restore but then it said error restoring /system or something like that.
I managed to get my phone working again by flashing stock firmware. So how can i fix that nandroid backup?

Have you tried restoring the backup again after changing to stock?
Maybe try with a different recovery if it is compatible
No

And no i haven't tried a different recovery. I don't think it will wo t k because of the md5 problem.

Why not try? What do you have to lose? You can always flash philz recovery back
The only other recoveries i know of is cwm. I doubt it will work because the nandroid file is in cwm format.
I still don't understand why after i skipped the step where it checks the md5 and when it finally began to restore i got the error message "error restoring /system".

There is also twrp recovery. Maybe the backup got corrupted.
I used to have cwm recovery on my old device. Never had any problems with it. Since I got my S4 I'm using twrp which also seems to work without a problem. Twrp is touch based so no worries about tedious button mashing to navigate
Maybe switch to one of those as they seem to be the most popular (which also means they have better support) and they work on pretty much any device.
Okay i might switch to twrp but i wont be able to restore that nandroid backup using twrp.

Try this
It's for cwm. But since your recovery is based on cwm, it should work. Alternatively you could flash cwm and try it after that guide.
If this doesn't work then do some more searching. Just google "md5 mismatch" it should give you something to work with and, hopefully, a solution.
just reflash your rom, i had this too and what helped was a clean install
