Hi all, I made a stock rom backup via Rom Manager, however, Rom Manager did not have an option for i9305, only i9300, so I pressed i9300. It then booted in to CWM recovery and backed up my phone. Is this backup still valid?
Thank you.

Ok, in short I can't restore my rom after flashing Cyanogenmod 7 RC1. If I try to recover the phone remain locked in recovery mode.
That's the full story anyway:
Had a Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3 (Italy) rooted with CF-root
Made a backup with clockworkmod (no problem)
Made data/app backup with titanium backup (no problem)
Flashed Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 (no problem)
Restore Titaniun backup, have all my app back but had the first problem. None of my data has been restored, contacts, sms, calls... nothing. Why I ask?
Found that I can't access my sd card, read about the downgrade to froyo. Ok, time to restore to my original rom.
Made a restore of my nandroid backup, via rom manager.
BANG, phone hang up at boot on Galaxy S initial logo.
Ok, don't panic, restored an Eclair 2.1-u1 Rom via odin/download mode. Build XWJM7, Base XXJM3 (I read Flashing Eclair is safer)
Tried to update Android via Kies, but I get a message that my version cannot be upgraded.
Rooted Eclair via oneclickroot, installed rom manager/clockworkmod and tried again to restore my rom backup.
The restore seems to go Ok but the phone is stucked in recovery mode (2e). I get the Galaxy S logo for a few second, then logo disappear and reappear an phone go in recovery mode saying:
installing multi-csc
can't access to /system/csc/itv/system/
successfully applied multi-csc.
There is no way to go on, if I choose update.zip, phone go to clockworkmod recovery. Tried to restore an older backup, same result.
Now I'm again on Eclair.
So is there a way to have my original rom back via clockworkmod? Or I have to flash original CSC/MODEM/CODE via odin?
Thanks for helping.
I think your best choice is to flash from odin in download mode with a clean stock rom with re-partition to start again on a good base.
I made some other test.
Extracted the .img from cwm backup. The boot.img file is corrupted on both backup, file are identical so I though there's a problem backing up bootloader on my phone with cwm.
So I tried to recover all but boot. When I reboot (from eclair, cwm 2.5.1.2) in recovery mode I always get to android recovery 2e. As before if I select update.zip (and update is not present) system get me to cwm recovery. I select advanced restore and system ecc. but get the same problem the before: I get stucked in android recovery.
So again I flash via odin this time to gingerbread, rooted with cf-root, launch cwm manager tried for the last time to recover my damned backup.
And UA-TA! has my phone restored.
Any one has I idea why I was able to restore my rom (and app/data) only AFTER I restored my rom in another way?
I also made backup but it was giving error when i try to restor it

What error do you get?
I have successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note, but it still doesn't have CWM installed. So I downloaded Rom Manager from the market, and tried to flash CWM from there. However the "Confirm Phone Model" dialog does not list the Galaxy Note I attached a screenshot of the choices.
Which do I pick? Or should I install CWM the long way?
Saw this thread, proceeding to this thread. Long method it is~
^^
Yes U R on right track
I have the same problem, I was able to ROOT and install CWM (I have version 5.0.2.7) using the instructions in this post. But I cannot do a ROM Backup with ROM Manager because it does not recognize the Recovery as valid one, I can boot into recovery from ROM Manager but I cannot do a Backup, I tried with the Manual Flash Overdrive option in ROM Manager and did not work, please any suggestion how to make ROM Manager recognize CMW that was manually installed ?, thanks
i have the same issue with my Neo V. i installed CMW manually and wanted to do rom backups so that i can flash a new rom. unfortunately the rom manager im using wont allow me to backup telling me to install CMW which is redundant cause i already have CMW installed. and worse is its asking me to chose phone models where my phone models is not even supported. how do i get over these??? arent there any rom manager updates?
ROM manager is not supported to Note
Just open CWM applicayion, you will find backup option there only.
Hi, i have two Galaxy´s Mini, and i have one of those ¨at my taste¨, and i want to restore the Backup ROM of CWM of my customized Mini, to the other.
Can I do this? It´s the same model.
Thanks.
Well, if you have the other Mini with the stock rom (2.3.5 or 2.3.6 I suppose) you can`t do this with stock bootloader. But if you install CWM on these device, and install a custom rom, you will be able to recovery the backup properly with CWM options.

Yes you can! Flash CWM recovery on both minis. then from the customized mini, boot into recovery and do a complete backup. once it complete, boot up the machine and connect via usb to a computer. copy the backup folder from sd into your machine...the folder is named clockworkmod....then copy this file to the root of the sd card for the mini to which you want to restore the backed up rom to.
reboot into recovery and restore this rom.
And that way you will have restored a backed up rom to another mini!
Rem this works for custom roms...

The nandroid backup (backup from CWM), creates a backup of the ROM + all you data. Therefore once you flash a new ROM, recovering from CWM will cause the new flashed ROM to be reverted back to ROM you had backed up.
If I understand correctly you want to flash a new ROM and keep the apps you have on the original ROM.
If that is what you want to do, then you need a backup application to backup your apps, then restore them to the new ROM.
I suggest you try Titanium Backup, here's the free version (however it needs root access):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
-You need to have your SXL rooted first
-Install Titanium Backup on your current ROM
-Backup your apps and data to your SD card using TBackup
-Flash the custom ROM
-Install TBackup on the new ROM
-Restore your apps+data from TBackup
Enjoy!
Hello
I have a S6500 and I would like to install a custom rom I've seen here, but I would like to do before a backup of my stock rom that is flashable by odin without installing cwm as my stock ROM is S6500BVLE3 Orange Spain and for reasons of I like to have my warranty stock rom.
Anyone know if I could create a full backup without installing cwm, for exemple adb commands, etc..?
Thanks.
root ur phone
install titanium backup app
backup all the data of everything
you can make a full nandroid backup with stock recovery.

No you can :facepalm:
If that would, no one will install CWM.
it is very difficult to create a odin flashable fw
there's a guide for it in xda
There is disk image of stock ROM flashable via odin but of course data will no be restorable and must be backed up via titanium backup.
Sent from s6500d with custom ROM and kernel.
Well ... if you want to install a custom ROM , you would have to install CWM anyway , so yea ... xD
I can guarantee that there's nothing that could happen to your device as long as you flash the right things , though . You can find all you need in my signature below (first download Odin , then the CWM 5.0.2.8 .tar , then flash the CWM tar as PDA with Odin while your phone is in Download mode) .
So the short answer is no , you can't do anything without CWM (no backing up , no rooting , no custom roms) .
