I was doing the back up of my rom on CWM 5 and before it ends I have got the error (CWM Recovery can't backup sd-ext partition), what is it?

if not please tell me in details how to install CWM and how to reboot in bootloader and where to type the command! who will answer me i'l give milion thanks! chears!
Installing cwm without pc can be tricky, if you're lucky you can install cwm via rom manager or flash the cwm image via a flashing tool....
Hope this helps

how to boot in boot loader and how to take a backup of the installed rom?
Boot loader : root your phone, turn it off, then press the power button +menu button + volume up button simultaneously
Backing up : just back up through the boot loader, or backup through third party apps
Sorry for the late respond

Hi Guys,
I understand that cwm recovery will not affect my stock rom. Here is an example what could I need:
I have new galaxy chat with ICS, I will install cwm recovery, create backup of stock (slovak) rom improve rom to some 4.1.2 spain rom and if it won't be good or have some hardware problem I will install again my stock rom but what with cwm recovery. Will it work this way?
Return To Stock Recovery
1. Download StockRecovery.zip
2. Place StockRecovery.zip on your SD Card
3. Boot into CWM Recovery
4. Tap on Install
5. Find StockRecovery.zip file on your SD card.
6. Slide to Flash
7. Reboot System & Enjoy Stock Recovery Again!
or not
thank you

Just install CWM....it won't affect your rom....in CWM choose backup in backup and restore option....it will create the backup of your current rom on sd card

so basically if Install CWM and do some ROM backup after I did some rooting, will that means the ROM that I am backing up IS NOT the original ROM anymore? a.k.a. if I have some hardware problem in the future and restore the device to the ROM that I thought is my original ROM (but I did the backup after I did my rooting) then dealer will detect my ROM is not actually original ROM and will void my warranty????
no it doesnot if you use adbfastboot to flash itDoesn't this operation require rooting of the phone, or root the phone?
Thanks for your reply R2D2. Would you explain a bit more about the steps? When I flash CWM to my phone, will it change the ROM and that is not a stock ROM anymore? Where should I type the "fastboot reboot <downloaded img>" command?
Thanks,
