Is it normal that my full backup takes only 1mb of storage?

Definitely not, should be between 650-700 Mb for stock rom.

Hmm. I must try to change to .tar backup..

Thanks man.. it works :fingers-crossed:

 

[dmbardal]

Works perfectly on Xperia V (LT25i).
Thanks!

Edit: Would it be possible to get a how-to to remove the Xperia TX\GX tag on the recovery? Or add an \V ?

Updated to v2, now recovery displays correct model information.

for me,i start the phone, when i have the logo "Sony", I press the touch vol+ and when the phone vibrate, I release the touch et it's good ^^

but i have a problem with the restore, i make my restore and after i bootloop ? :/

This happened to me too, can I ask how you were able to get out of the bootloop? I'm a noob with Xperia, and I didn't really find any solution other than to flash an ftf, which is what I ended up doing. Twice. I tried to restore from both internal and external, using the default (blob) backup format. My next experiment is going to be to try it with a .tar backup and see if that works, but I might not get to that for a day or two.

Running Xperia V LT25i with SuperSport ICS rom [9.0.1.D.0.10] with the matching kernel, stock except for unsecure/debuggable.

Try flashing reboot fix from CWM itself.

Changed the restore format to .tar, flashed the reboot fix, restored my backup and bootlooped again.

I misunderstood (I read reboot instead of bootlop). Reboot fix is not helping at all.

I have not clear what can be the solution, but I remember some Motorola Droid users solving a similar issue flashing a kernel through fastboot.

this recovery is just outdated, cyanogenmod has a much newer recovery included, backups and restores work fine there and the date is also right, I got a backup with year 1970 with this version which is also included in the advanced stock kernel...

I would recommend flashing a kernel with recovery included, siyah or some of the modded stock kernels. maybe it works then, I don't wanna test because I stay with cm10.

You are right, but Cyanogen is not possible on locked bootloader. Furthermore Siyah and other available stock kernels include the original CWM in which is based this, so for now there is no workaround for those issues that you remark.

I have a V, so my kernel options are pretty limited at this point. However, replacing CWM with TWRP did the trick - backup, restore, no problems. Thanks everyone for your help.

If I wipe all data and 're-flash my phone I should be able to get OTA updates back I hope ? Or is it broken for good

in theory if you flash a stock rom via flashtool your phone should be back to stock like state. if flash a stock rom via recovery etc then you wont get updates from sony

@shingers5
So just to clarify:
1) There are 2 ways to install a ROM a) via flashtool and b) via recovery
2) These methods are somewhat different - (how?)
3) doing so via recovery means that OTA updates are broken

Is that right?

You can flash only FTF's via flashtool (Corect me if wrong)
You cannot flash FTF's via recovery, only .zips

thanks Greg, if that is the case, then why do ppl say that after installing CLOCKWORKMOD recovery OTA updates fail?
If the ROM in use is either from OTA or from an FTF, then are we saying that it is only if you then go on to load a ZIP ROM via CWM that you break OTA updates - up until that point having CWM installed will not have broken OTA updates?

Look at here.

Xperia phones has no recovery partition, so CWM-based recoveries are installed in the kernel partition. After entering to CWM for the first time such partition is amended and OTA updates will fail, regardless the way in which you have installed the rom (obviously if you flash from CWM you have broken OTA updates previously...)

Flashing a tft restores such partition and OTA updates are allowed again.

I think flashing a zip rom from CWM will not touch the kernel partition (only data, system and cache partitions are installed) so OTA updates will remain broked. Maybe reflashing a clean kernel from recovery could work, although this sounds contradictory.
