backups in modded CWR-touch (6.0.1.8) not working - Nexus 10

I've gotten this all to work (unlocked bootloader, rooted, using modded 6.0.1.6 CWR touch), yet when I attempt to use clockwork touch to make a backup, it runs for about 10 seconds and then reboots... when I look in ES file explorer at the clockwork mod folder, there's no file/contents in there for the backup. Is this a known issue - is this CWR-touch mod not yet capable of making backups? As a funny side-note, when I tried flashing the latest 6.0.1.8 (non-touch) from within the android app... and when I get into recovery, I'm unable to use the power button to select anything (the cursor works, but the power button doesn't choose the selection) - I had to re-flash in the console the modded 6.0.1.8 to boot back in.

I'm giving up on CWMR for TWRP.

I downloaded the latest version of TWRP for the Nexus 10 which works beautifully. I highly suggest going this route for making backups. I already tested out a backup/restore and it worked without a hitch.

Seems like CWM has been updated and should have no issues.

Yup shimp208 fixed recovert by repacking. Ive added in also works flawless. Twrp is a great option too though.

Perfect that the CWM works with its latest version. I will try TWRP since that has no issues as well. Out of the two, which one is the most reliable one? Overall that is, not based on the device.

I like both but cwm preferred for me since its compatible with rom manager.

If you are stuck on the boot animation (X) screen... power off your device and enter fastboot mode and then type fastboot -w... I has this problem and this fixed it!

NOTE: fastboot -w will wipe your internal storage completely

Many thanks Craig!!

Also, if you get stuck on bootloop after unlocking bootloader (This happened to me couple times), do a factory reset in stock recovery to fix:

Thanks to shimp208 for the sideload method and working CWM, ChainFire for awesome SuperSU and to all the developers who are worked on CWM recovery!

Thanks for the video Max! Will you by chance be doing one for the Nexus 4?

You sir are a champion, reset/data wipe in stock recovery fixed the issue.

Thankyou very much

Im having an issue. I currently own a Mac Mini running osx Mountain Lion and i also run Windows 8 using VMware Fusion on the same machine. Ive tried both your mac as wel as windows tutorials following the instructions to the letter. But in both instances (win/OSX) once i get to the fastboot step where it states "waiting for device" my device never changes from the original bootloader screen and doesn ask me to confirm unlock. It stops from there and im stuck.

The computer is a month old and the Nexus 2 days old. so i cant understand why its giving me this issue. but the same thing happened when trying to root my GS3. I had to go to a friends house and use his windows comp to root it.

any ideas?

Hi, Guys.
My son just got Nexus 10.
I been playing with it.... can't do much without rooting..
I have Sensation. Got it S-OFF and rooted without installing CWM...
Is there any possibility to do the same with Nexus?

Thanks.

No money needed.

We are a bunch of people who dabble with their devices. Can you get into the boot loader? Power&volume+&volume-?

im in bootloader now, it shows lockstate: unlock, the last thing i did was type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img that i got from post 40 from zedo but went i reboot to recovery it still doesnt show a recovery, it shows the android with exclamation so i went back to bootloader and type flastboot -w i guess to erase and reboot and still stuck on bootloop, i saw a post someone mention in the second page of this thread that they installed back data and it worked, im wondering if i need to install data back if that would work or if he meant he erased data

Resolved my issue by reflashing the cwm recovery image. Stupidly i wiped the storage so I had to reset my tab up again.

Flip, I had the same problem as you did and I spent a good 2 hours trying to solve it when I first unlocked my bootloader. Can you tell me exactly what you've done? Have you just unlocked the bootloader and it's not working anymore? I remember you said that you tried fast boot -w to wipe it but I think this didn't work for me either. If you are in the bootloader then don't worry your nexus 10 shouldn't be bricked. If you have the stock recovery still, (go into bootloader, go to the recovery option and press power then when it comes up with the dead android press power and up I think together or maybe power and down). Then try to factory reset from there. If that doesn't work, then download the stock image (I think a link is posted somewhere on this page). It should be a compressed file format so extract it and it should give you a zip with a load of different img files. When in the bootloader, flash userdata.img and cache.img . The commands are fastboot flash userdata userdata.img and fastboot flash cache cache.img . This got me booted again but I then had the problem of 16gb of my 32gb disappearing. If you download the stock rom, try to use the flashall script and see if that works too.
