is there a way to flash clockworkmod recovery onto the samsung intercept, i want to try out some roms but i would like to back up my phone just in case anything goes wrong
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...rcept-recovery-(important-features-working!)/
That's the closest we have, it's a modified version of clockworkmod, but it's not supported in rom manager.

WHAT I HAVE DONE:
Backuped my rom with 3.0.0.5 to mess up with my rom.
Replaced framework-res.apk to get some new icons.
New framework-res.apk crashed my phone.
Tried to restore backup with 3.0.0.5.
Find myself stucked at "HTC".
Tried to flash MIUI rom from official MIUI website, MD5 checked.
Still stucked.
Went back to recovery 2.5.1.3.
Tried to restore backup created by 3.0.0.5.
Everything is OK now.
ORIGINAL PROBLEM:
Under 3.0.0.5 Backup restore failed+Flash MIUI ROM failed+HBOOT OK+Tested 13 times!!!!
symptom: Stuck at "HTC"
Went back to 2.5.1.3 and Flash MIUI ROM OK.
Now trying to restore backup created by 3.0.0.5...
Hope no more bricked DHD....
Want more discuss...
This recovery come with CWM Rom Manager 3.0.0.7 following recovery flash from Internet.
MD5: 5E457EDCC2CC8AF60E7B8EB10E1BBF8A
UPDATE: My DHD alive again...
Anybody would like to give it a try may follow this:
Make sure you are using version 3.0.0.5.
Backup your current rom (Make sure you have enough rom on your TF card, there won't be an warning if you failed because of lack of disk space!!! 2GB free recommend). (The backup function seemed OK...)
Mess your system up. (Delete some important files such like framework-res.apk...)
restore backup...
Here I get stucked at "HTC" (AKA first boot screen, defined by manufactor.)
RESTORING:
Boot into HBOOT, then fastboot, flash CWM Recovery 2.5.1.3. (Attached)
restore....
It's alive now...
Don´t be so paranoic...
It depends if the Rom is made for CWM 3.0.0.5. If not its not working...
And of course u can´t restore a backup with 3.0.0.5 which was done with CWM 2.5.1.3
Are you certain of this?
I need the devs and Senior Members opinion's please.

I don't think recovery have anything to do with my rom. According to my 3 years android messing up history.
On the other hand, if that's true, there should be an warning when I flash my recovery through CWM Rom Manager.
CWM 3.x is fine. Been flashing roms with it since january (or december). A lot of people actually.
Edit: recovery has to do with the roms. Cwm 3 requires the updater script(edify). Also, cwm 3.0.0.5 from rom manager works fine for backup/restore. If you flashed it on your own before it was made available through rom manager, then its probably the test version which had probs restoring.

The recovery works fine. Some people are just not aware that CWM 2 backups are not compatible with CWM 3 backups, and vice versa. There is also another compatibility problem, zips intended for CWM 2 do not work with CWM 3.
So there is no real issue with CWM, just some compatibility problems, and those can not / will not be fixed. It is the way software evolves..

Restored my backup created by 3.0.0.5 using 2.5.1.3, strange result according to your opinion...
It also depends on the ROM and it's filesystem, but the rule of thumb is, don't even try it.

Post updated, a little bit long to read it through... but please...
My "ROM" is referring to the current system+user data+whatever else inside my nand, not the one in my update.zip. If you would like to know.
Once I learned recovery backup rom exactly the way it is, just like what Norton Ghost do to your hard disk, so if backup and restore not working, the files must be broken. Otherwise it's the recovery's fault.
I have my original OS backed up via the 1 click root method.
I have tried [ROM] Jr6 (JRO03D / 4.1.1): MCR - new: button mods, YouTube with preloading! by Paulobrien.
Tonight I flashed [ROM]| Glazed JellyBean|Version 1.1.2|Glazed Mods|Custom Animations|Speed| by Hyperrunner.
Now, I boot back into recovery and select the backup option, and when it is done, the file is only 20 megs in size, which does not seem right.
So can someone help or point me to a tutorial on how to back up my current rom Nandroid style so I can try out other ones and Nandroid back to ones I end up liking?
Thank you,
Whiteice

So I am at a loss understanding this. Maybe you or someone else can help me.
The first rom I mentioned in my OP says it needed CWM to install. Now I see other rom's that say TWRP recovery to install.
I have no idea on which route to go with doing all these.
Can anyone help me out here in better understanding on what I need to do here?
If I need to install TWRP, what do I need to do now since I have CWM installed to install TWRP?
Thank you,
Whiteice

cwm is buggy and twrp is more funtional, and works perfectly. cwm is just a popularity contest in all of android, but its not the best product.

So, at this point, how do I go about using TWRP then since I currently have CWM as the recovery?

flash it via fastboot http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
With my S3, I used CWM, and decided to go with TWRP on my S4, and just prefer the look and feel of CWM. So I'm looking at how to switch from TWRP to CWM, and can't find anything specific for the S4. Also, are the backups created specific to the custom recovery that created it? I made a nandroid backup with TWRP before flashing CM 10.1. If I wanted, could I flash that backup created with TWRP with CWM if I did switch? Thanks
Just odin CWM over top twrp. And I think the backups are compatible between the 2 recoveries.
Just flash CWM zip from TWRP.
If you are concerned about the compatibility of backups between CWM and TWRP you might want to try PhilZ touch CWM in the Original Development section.
Backups are not usually cross compatible AFAIK but you can use nandroid manager to convert them, although I've never tried it.

Thanks for the responses. But if the nandroid backups aren't cross compatible, I'll just stick with TWRP. There's nothing wrong with it, I just prefer the look and feel of CWM since it's what I'm use to.

I want to make a backup of the original kernel that came with my G2 D802 32GB just in case I need it in the future if I mess up something.
I read that flashify can make a backup of the kernel, but also read this program can brick the G2.
Any other ways to backup the kernel of my original stock LG rom?
And how to restore it in the future if I need to do so?
Thanks a lot!

If you're rooted and have flashed twrp recovery all you have to do is back up the boot partition then you have a back up all you need to do is if you want it back just boot into recovery and restore the boot partition it's not really having a flashable kernel zip but it's one way

¡Perfect! ¡Thanks a lot! :good:
EDIT:
Two questions though.
Using that method, if I restore the boot then I would lose my custom recovery right?
Also, I've read that doing backups through TWRP or CWM doesn't backup the kernel installed at that moment. Is this true? Because if it's true then doing that backup wouldn't make a backup of the kernel.
Thanks!

First question the answer is no you won't lose your recovery and to answer the second question I know with twrp it does back up the kernel I do it with every custom ROM I flash I'll back up its kernel before I install a custom one just so i have it and decide to go back to it now with cwm I'm not sure I only used cwm for a short period of time and wasn't happy with it I prefer twrp
...rebooting to recovery and making a nandroid backup.
I plan to add an audio mod to my phone (Extreme Beats or whatever) and it's so nice to just reboot to recovery from the modified boot menu, make a nandroid in a proper version of TWRP and then flash whatever I want and move on, knowing that I'll be able to revert should I need to.

Indeed.
Just remember a nandroid for our phone is a limited backup. There are partitions that only a firmware restore can fix making it a 2 step job.
Also persist is only, IS ONLY on phone not in firmware & only Philz can back that up!
