CWM v5.5.0.4 - Nandroid Backup Fails

---

I could use some advice/help here ...

I have a P7300 with CWM v5.5.0.4 flashed and have been performing Nandroid backup/restores quite happily trying out various ROM versions. My last backup was approx 4 weeks ago. I went to perform a new backup today and the CWM displays "backing up boot, recovery & system" and then very quickly I get the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9" logo in the center of the screen and it jumps back to the CWM main recovery menu.

No Backup is performed and no directory is created with the date/timestamp in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory.

I tried re-flashing the CWM v5.5.0.4 zip but get the same results - I checked free space on the /sdcard partition and I have over 5GB of free space.

The device re-boots fine into the ROM itself.

Any ideas/thoughts on how I can fix this so I can perform Nandroid backup/restores again ?

Many thanks!

First this belongs in the General Forum or the Q&A forum!

Maybe you can try to install CWM 6.0.0.8 from Kallt_Kaffe's CM9 Thread!

I'm having exactly the same problem See my thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1815348

Updating CWM was the first thing I tried and didn't work for me - give it a try though, OP. Apparently restoring to stock then rooting and flashing again works, but this wipes everything, including the /mnt/sdcard Backing it up is a real pain too cause windows doesn't like the long directory names. Nightmare!

I'll try the suggestion of .hidenandroidprogress but otherwise it looks like it's restore time for me :/
