When I try to make a custom backup no matter what partitions I choose, I get an "Error while backing up *PARTITION NAME HERE* image!" error. Does this for the TWRP backup option as well.

All backups were tested by many and do work. Without providing a log, it will be hard to help you. Advanced / Report Error and attach the recovery.log file here

Can someone punt new to a help section or user manual so i can read how to convert from twrp to cwm and vice versa. Thanks

I just dropped that project yesterday and the 2 menus will be removed on next update. This would be long time consuming operation. It is useless since i provided option to migrate to and from TWRP already

Understandable, but I'm still unclear on how to do the migration you speak of. This would involve converting one or more older backups to your "new" chosen format right? Not expecting to be given the answer, but even suggested search teems would help. At a total loss. Here.

In TWRP mode, you can backup your current ROM to the TWRP format. You can also restore any backup you made with TWRP.
Just enter the menu and it should be self explanatory. Either backup or restore, like if you were under TWRP. Hope it is more clear

Yes, that helps. Thanks. I was stuck on the concept of converting the back ups themselves between formats, rather than bringing the back up. (whichever format it is) on to the phone, then Backing that up using the other format. Has this slow witted moron finally have it?

One more question /comment or two :
I see no reason at all to b/u or restore the cache Partition. Am I missing something?

On my i317,when I go into the mounts section, the internal sd card is always Unmounted and can't be manually mounted. Is this because in the note 2 Samsung uses the goofy data/media-->sd card emulation and as such, isn't really a disk that can be mounted or unmounted. (at least not in the sense those terms are applied to, for instance, a micro sd card inserted in the phones sd card.slot and can then be mounted /unmounted. Do I have that right?

Lastly, if i ever go back to a 4.1.x based rom, can I use the file that is included in the. I317 nightlIes thread to restore the SD card to single user mode. (ie move everything out from under the data /media / directory) or does taunt this recovery require avoider /different approach.?

Cache: it can be useful, yes. In custom backup mode, you can uncheck it though

Sdcard mount: that's the cause in fact. It is possible in theory, but complicated technically

This recovery can browse /sdcard/0 in custom restore mode. You can revert it as you like, nothing special

4.92.8

>>True support for /data/media/0 for Android 4.2.2<<
First to introduce true JB 4.2 migration: live toggle between /data/media and /data/media/0
This implementation keeps compatibility with stock cwm while giving user option to force /data/media/0
When migrating from or to JB 4.2, you still need to move folders to/from /data/media/0. No one will do it for you
- fix early mount of /data for datamedia devices caused by write_recovery_version()
this could cause errors on some install scripts
- hide some external menus for devices without external storage
- fix Setup Free Browse Mode bug for devices without external storage
- fix Free Browse Mode could not browse up to the root for /data/media devices
- fix Misc Nandroid Settings menu regression for devices without external storage
- fix .nandroid_secure selection in custom backup and restore for devices without external storage
- no more mount internal/external storage when checking for ors script at startup
- do not report custom recovery logs to ROM Manager
- export error log on failure during boot installed packages
- make sure we have all the log posted by users
- misc bug fixes

4.92.3 (03.04.2013)
- properly set time for all recovery session: this will now apply to the time stamp of any file modified (logs, backups...)
- add Daylight Saving Time support

4.91.9 (03.04.2013)
- merge and fix fb2png source: now built as static binary and compatible with RGBX devices (Nexus 4...)
special thanks for this to McKael and a huge thumbs up to talustus for his great support
- silent failure when formatting non existing /sd-ext volume
- use statfs instead of stat in nandroid operations
- misc fixes
- i9100/n7000 zip installer: option to skip flashing superuser using philz_installer.cfg
- i9100/n7000: disable init binary substitution from older LSJ (aka /data corruption bootloop fix)
- i9100/n7000: update clockworkmod superuser to 1.0.1.7 (security fix)

4.91.5 (29.03.2013)
- Support Nexus 4 (mako)
- fix nandroid backup and restore for devices without /modem, /radio, /preload and /efs
- fix recovery functions for devices without external sdcard storage

4.93.6 CWM 6.0.3.1

- fix reboot to bootloader for phones without download mode
- define default values for CWM Advanced Edition builds to non officially supported devices by PhilZ Touch
- no need to confirm sideload as it can be cancelled
- move philz settings file from /system to /data
- fix compile error for non PhilZ Touch version
- revert temporary assert fix for i9100/n7000 (ramdisk changes):
* do not mount /system in init.rc
* add needed entries in default.prop
- n7000: no more replace init binary to fix /data corruption bootloop issue (ramdisk changes)

Start from this version (upload in progress for all supported devices), all recovery images are automatically repacked with stock/modified ramdisk.
The use of automated scripts should lead to less human errors and possibility for instant updates for all devices whenever source is updated

However, in the first releases, some bugs could appear. So, be careful when flashing upcoming packages as I cannot be made responsible for any damage to your phone. Assume the updates to be beta for advanced users

In practice, I manually checked all releases to be sure they are fine, but who knows...

Note: after scroll, first touch will select only. After one sec of scrolling or on second touch, it will validate immeadiately. This is by design and not a bug. It is there to limit erroneous validation while scrolling
Read more about it here: Validation Lock after scrolling

I updated I think the correct way to the newest version of this release in this thread, already had it installed downloaded the newest zip from this thread and flashed it in recovery and now I can't change backgrounds. It says invalid .png I created a custom_res folder and all that.
