Guest Kilack Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) No worries, I am new to the clockwork recovery too though have it working well here. You don't have a update.zip already on the internal sdcard? What firmware are you running? and yeah when you click make a backup of current rom, it should reboot the phone and then load into a recovery menu and start backing up the whole phone and that can take... a few minutes depending on how much data you have, so you would definitely know.

Why did you rename update.zip? You should only have done that if it is something you put there for another purpose (like the root update.zip). ROM Mgr places its own update.zip in the root of your sdcard, and it is what actually runs on the reboot to put you into clockwork recovery. At this point I would make sure there is no update.zip in your INTERNAL sdcard's root. Then in ROM Mgr, select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Follow any instructions it gives you. That should set you up and allow you to make backups. Also, you might want to check and see if after running the flash command that a new update.zip was placed on the internal sdcard. I think some people have said they had to manually reboot into recovery and then run the update.zip manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
