tried, it shows mount /data in menu but it doesn't mount, but i have a folder named datadata and i am able to mount it but backup stops at data folder and doesnt try datadata folder
so now backup backups system folder and stops at /data since it cannot mount it
is there a cwm version that i can specify which folder to backup?

Okay, I might just as well start sound irritating to you now but try another kernel, just as to clarify whether it is anything wrong with the kernel.

You could try backing it up via adb. Try this: http://lifehacker.com/5976036/simpl...droid-phone-from-the-desktop-no-root-required

EDIT: You'll need to boot into system for adb. (I think)

How would a CWM Backup help then? I suggest you flash the Stock firmware via Odin (Download the latest build from Samfirmware and flash it via Odin.)
