No Nandroid backup option

hey guys.
i searched the forums, maybe not hard enough but here goes.
forgot when i rooted the phone, maybe in november. have rom manager, titanium manager, etc...havent put any roms yet but when I go into recovery, i have no option to nandroid backup.
the only four options i have are:reboot system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
i also have a
E: cant open /cache/update.zoip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
while im in recovery. any help would be appreciated!

You need to install Clockwork in the Rom Manager App. After that, reboot into recovery and click reinstall packages (sometimes it takes a few times of clicking reinstall packages).

thanks. i updated rom manager and after a few tries installing packages, was finally successful!
thanks

apply sdcard:update.zip???
hi, I install the rom manager, reboot in recovery mode but I dont see any reinstallation option in the menu, only the following options
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache...
the reinstallation app is apply update.zip option??
i tried that option but I get
install from sd card
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package...
e: failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
e:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
any idea?
thanks a lot!

Is your update.zip on your internal sd card? It can't be in any folder..

that update.zip is nowhere in the card as far as I can see... what is that file about? where I can find it? maybe was created when I tried to root the phone (DEfy) z4root didnt work and I finally used superone click... is that update file created by the superoneclick??

Ok. You are aware your in the Samsung Vibrant section?

ups, very sorry about it... that is why nothing was matching...
sorry greg, I dont bother you any more, i will search in the right location.
thanks a lot

Plus that update.zip you posted was for a full rom. Thats not the file used to root the phone.

I suppose. Im not sure i used freegee app to do the recovery its worked the past few days now its all of a sudden not wanting to install anything

Did you check your printer cables? Lol...
Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dav. Reboot recovery, install a ROM. If all fails. ADB push lokied recovery.

Does it mention while in twrp about checking loki?... something like that?

[Q] Can't flash any rom using CyanogenDefy?

Hello there. First of all I am a noob when it comes to flashing custom ROMs. Q&As and Guides didn't help me...
I have a Defy + MB526 , rooted ( flashed sbf because I have bl7). Stock 2.3.6
I have installed latest 2nd init using the apk.
USB debugging enabled.
The problem is that I can't flash any zip from CyanogenDefy custom recovery( Accessed using android bootmenu at reboot).
I've wiped everything before trying to flash Cm 10.2 JB. It says error 7 installation aborted every time. I did try a bunch of other versions and roms.
I created a nandroid backup using the custom recovery but I couldn't use it to recover, first because of a md5 mismatch (which I fixed) and then because of another error at the end ( some stuff couldnt be recovered). When I boot up I can't open any app, it says " Application not installed". I've tried using the 2GB card that came with the phone, same thing happens. I ended up erasing everything
What am I doing wrong? Please help me
This is ny first android phone, never installed any custom ROM before but I read its harder for the Defy though.

Come on, 60 views and no replies? Any help would be very appreciated!

Hello, thanks for your reply.
I did root my phone about 2 years ago, but good to know such an app exists.
I didn't open the archives, I just pasted it on my phone's SD card. I did try again by formatting the card inside the phone and re downloading. Same thing happens.

SD Card does work fine.
In the meantime, I tried flashing a rom again. This time I get error status 0;
After that I've successfully flashed the latest twrp, wiped, tried to install but still status 0.
I'm trying to install the MoKee rom.
EDIT:
I tried installing CM 10.2.
I get the same errors like for MoKee:
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 0)
*Verifying filesystems...
*Verifying partition sizes...
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-10.2-20131020-NI

i9500: Odd issue when trying to flash ROM's

Greetings all,
So I have been trying to redo my Wanam KitKat install due to the foldermount issue and I ran into a couple of issues. Now before someone comments about that awesome app from the app store, yes I use it I just have other reasons to try and get a clean install going.
So first things first, I Odin flash the latest CWM by Sameer, do the necessary wipes and start the install. I then get this error message:
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/ROM Install/wanamlite-v40-nb3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I power down the device and Odin flash the latest CWM Touch version and I still get the above message. I then flash Philz Touch 6.07.9 and voila, it installs without an issue. Now one of my other issues to resolve this foldermount issue is because any recovery other than the Philz version mentioned (even the latest Philz) fails to flash any files and has an issue seeing my internal storage.
So I Odin back to my earliest ICS version and try from there. Now the CWM recoveries see the correct folder path but I still get the above error and I did manage to get this code as well:
I: using /data/media for sdcard/0/clockworkmod/ . last_install_path.
I: Cant partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/dw_mmc.2/mmc_host/mmc2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have tried everything to try and get this to work as it should but I am stuck. Right now I have flashed the old Philz I have and restored a nandroid and the phone is fine. How do I get past these errors?
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
*edit*
I should mention that after the ICS flash I did a factory reset and wiped everything and still had the above errors...

Anyone?

CWM fails with a lot of roms. TWRP is better.

Hi, thanks for the input. Sadly TWRP also fails with the same error:
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/ROM Install/wanamlite-v40-nb3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted

Hence the reason for my asking. Its not a bad zip so redownloading it will not get rid of the problem. My recoveries are also good zips otherwise they would not flash. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
