So here's the deal, I screwed up big time.
Bottom line, the SDcard is formatted and I can no longer get in the phone (stuck at the splash screen for King Kangers build).
I have a backup of the SDcard and a nandroid backup of the phone, but when I enter CWM, I cannot get the recovery to recognize the external SD card and I can no longer access the internal SD card.
Also, Samsung Kies no longer can access the phone either so I can't re-flash back to stock.
Help please??
Thanks!

Ok, I may have gotten lucky.
I reflashed the ODIN CWM recovery tar and then re-created the folder on the SD card for clockworkmod/backup/ and placed my backup files in there.
Now, I'm back in the CWM and recovery found the external SD card.
I'm in the process of restoring from backup, crossing fingers this all works.

I can't do a search it says search is disabled. I'm currently on rooted stock and want to make a nandroid back up of my phone. I got the recovery app installed and currently booted to the recovery screen. I see the backup & restore tab, but then it goes to internal SD card and External SD card. Which one do I want to back up. I'm guessing internal SD card, and where does it save it too. Can I take the saved file and put it on my computer for safe keeping? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Again I did try to search, but it's broken.
If your using CWM recovery it will be under the folder Clockworkmod, then under the subfolder Backup or Backups. And it doesnt matter if you save on internal or external, of course you have to have enough space on which ever you select though. You can copy this folder to comp to keep it, if you decide to edit file name dont put any spaces in it use . or _ or you may run into issues.
Also, when it asks internal or external it's asking where you want to backup to. I usually choose external so I can format internal if needed.

Thanks guys for clearing it up. I appreciate it. I just flashed a rom, and didn't like it then flashed back to stock and restore via nandroid and it worked flawless. Thanks again for the help.
Nandroid Backup error message
I have a stock photon that I rooted. I have both CWM and Rom toolbox pro installed. When I go to to a Nandroid backup it trys to boot into recovery and says "FAILED to boot 2 Starting RSD mode". If I reset the battery it boots fine. Android Recovery does the same.... Suggestions?
Hey guys, today i was messing around with my nook tablet and i tried to restore it and i acidently deleted everything. now when ever i boot its goes straight to CWM recovery. ive tried to flash recovery and stock reboot and nothing worked. Is there anyway to restore it using usb or anything else? thanks.
I ran into similar difficulty with this earlier today. What worked for me eventually was using
the CMW Windows installer on my SD card, which nerfed it down from 32GB to 2GB,
formatted that 2GB partition,
put the "acclaim_update.zip" folder in the root,
inserted the sd card,
plugged the tablet into the charger,
power+n cycled once, then regular boot and it went it.
Your results may vary, though. It took a few tries before I finally got it to boot from SD
How exactly do i do that?
Fix for the Cyanoboot CWM bootlooping...
It could help someone, haven't seen this simple fix around so i decided to post it up here.
1. boot into CWM from sdcard, see here to download the sdcard version , instructions to burn the image to your sdcard are there too.
2. once you have finished burning the image into your sdcard you will see the size of your sdcard will be reduced to less than 50 MB, CLICK on your sdcard and you will see some files in there.
3. Download 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip from my thread and copy-paste it to your sdcard so you can flash CWM internal using CWM sdcard version. HOPE YOU DONT GET CONFUSED.
4. Safely eject your sdcard from PC, power off your nook(long press power button), put the sdcard back into your nook, power on your nook.
5. It will boot into CWM sdcard then flash 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip, reflash the ROM of your like (It should be on Internal sdcard, you can also swap to another sdcard containing the ROM while in CWM sdcard or resize CWM sdcard [50mb] with a partition tool software so you can copy a ROM to it).
6. Remove the sdcard from your Nook and select reboot system now from CWM
Done!
Your Nook tablet should now boot normally!!!
NOTE: the 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip made by @succulent has few options missing so consider to install another internal CWM later. This process will just make you fix the bootlooping process and boot your device normally.

Flash "acclaim_update.zip"
I recently made a thread on how to flash "acclaim_update.zip" in CWM so head on over to it and see if it works for you and remember do a factory reset from CWM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762024
Okay before posting i have spent the majority of the day on this forum, the net and just generally searching for a solution. I installed the latest Omega V18 rom today with the latest Siyah-Dorimanx kernal. No issues, installed and worked fine recovered all my data. I was having a problem with Omega files kitchen, so i decided to wipe everything and try and start from fresh. I did a backup with CMW and Titanium, then i put the CMW backup ontop my laptop and wiped the phone and reinstalled everything, i was still getting the same problem and i went into Titanium and deleted all my backups, why i never know! But i still have the one on the laptop. Went for a final reinstall and obviously Titanium has no backup but my CWM backup is showing but i cant restore it in recovery mode or when the phone is on normally.
The phone works fine running Omega V18 Rom and Siyah-Dorimanx V7.43. No problem with booting or going into recovery mode, when i connect the phone to the usb on the laptop it comes up with removable disc E. My back up is on there and i can see it and open the folder and view the contents. However when i try to restore the backup either through CWM (V3.15) or booting into recovary mode the phone cannot find the back up.
I have tried all the restore options in recovery mode and i get E: Can't mount sdcard. So i'm stuck i have tried wiping all my data and doing factory reset etc and starting from the start, but still no joy. I have also tried to follow another guide on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070 When i try to load the ED05 Froyo into Odin it fails.
Im desperate for a solution i just need my pictures back Anyhelp will be greatly appriciated, is there any thing i can do?
EDIT: I have just flashed it with Odin and a stock rom, now where do i go from here? Do i have to re-root the phone and install a custom rom again.
CWM and TB don't save your pictures! They are still there, on internal or on external SD Card, if you haven't deleted them by formating. Where did you save them?
I thought CWM did a full backup? Well atm the phone is running 4.0.4 ICS and when i go into stock recovery i still get the same cant mount sdcard!! Well i did format the whole phone and did factory reset so looks like i have lost them for good then? Now its back to standard why still cant it mount the sdcard?? I have placed the right Philz-cwm6 kernel onto the internal sdcard and go into stock boot and try to apply update and comes up E: unable to mount sdcard.

Do you have an extra sd card ? I am not joking I have realized last week that I didn't bother to buy one nearly 2 years ago :good: :laugh:
If you have saved your pictures on external sd card you can always take it out, put it into your sd slot in your notebook or pc and copy the files to your hard drive.

I have a small external card, but i didn't save the pictures to it or anything. I just assumed when i did my previous backups that it saved my files. Anyways i learnt that lesson the hard way it seems.
I connected the phone via usb and it came up E: Removable disc so i formatted it in windows, the put Philz kernel onto it and when into stock recovery and then tried to update via externel sd card and it fails to mount as usual. So why is E drive coming up in windows but not in the phone? Im really starting to loose my mind over this now, how do i fix this on a stock rom!
EDIT: I have flashed the Philz kernel via Odin, now i can get into CWMR Touch 6.0.1.4 I can go into the mounts and storage menu and mount /emmc but i still can't mount the /sdcard. I can now however apply an ZIP update from internal sdcard so now im getting too confused and lost i have been working for at least 10 hours on this in total so im going to bed and will try again tomorrow!!
Last week I rooted my phone with update.zip file. But then I've accidentally cleared update.zip while I was spring cleaning my sd card. It was placed in the internal sd card. Now the problem is my phone manages to boot up, but hangs and does not display properly.
I've tried placing another update.zip file onto my external sd card and reflash from there, however when I enter recovery mode, I don't see my external sd card in the directory.
Is there anyway to remedy this problem? I assume the worst case scenario is to restore factory settings and wipe my phone clean from recovery mode, but I would like to try other methods before coming to that. Thanks

I just tried to upgrade from Alliance build 26 to build 30. I also loaded TWRP and used that to load update to build 30 since trying to load build 30 with CWM kept resulting in an abort with error 7. Now I am stuck at either simply booting into TWRP or to Droid logo to use Odin. I have have no useable file to recover to since all my backup files are CWM and I find out now they are useless in TWRP. Can I bypass TWRP and get back into CWM or am I screwed and need to start all over with Adam's thread to use Odin and stock files?Will I lose my saved CWM files entirely now on the phone itself? I need help please!

Here's a few options off the top of my head to get you up and running again.....
1. You can use Odin to flash CWM recovery back to your phone, then (if you saved the CWM backup to your external sd card prior to flashing TWRP)... you could just restore that backup from the external sd card. If you saved your CWM backups to internal memory, they are probably deleted because I'm assuming you wiped when trying to install Alliance 30.
2. You can mount TWRP in USB mode, then transfer a recovery flashable CWM zip over to your external sd from the computer, and then flash CWM back to your phone and restore your CWM backup.
3. If you have an external sd card adapter for the computer... then you can remove the external sd card from the phone and mount it in the computer to transfer over a CWM recovery flashable zip and your backup files (assuming that you saved a backup in the computer). Put the sd card back into the phone.... then use TWRP to reinstall CWM.... then use CWM you restore one of your backups.
4. If you keep encountering booting problems and none of those ideas work... it would probably be best to just use ODIN to restore back to stock 4.1.2... then start from scratch by re-rooting the with Casual.
Good luck.

Thank you for responding with such detail. It finally started to boot into Alliance logo but never completed. Now it says with yellow triangle phone needs to be returned to Verizon. It does not even work in Odin. I do have an external reader for the card but I guess I am screwed now anyway.I wonder if Verizon will even help me at all back to stock.
