Stuck on Backing up boot image with Clockwork Mod

[Giunriad]

Hi everyone,

I have just recently rooted my Asus Transformer Pad 300 (TF300T) running JellyBean 4.1 following a TF300T rooting guide on DotTech.

Then I have wanted to do a NAND backup of my tablet using 3 methods with all 3 failing :

1. Through Clockwork Mod version 6.0.2.3 > backup and restore > backup
2. Through Clockwork Mod version 6.0.2.3 > backup and restore > backup to internal sdcard

both show me the size of the SD card then start saying "Backing up boot image..." and then is stuck there while I can move around the menus with the volume buttons and select with the power button. I have tried mounting my SD card beforehand with the mount option in CWM's main menu.

3. Using ROM Manager > Backup Current ROM
which takes me into CWM and then shows the error "Error backing up boot image!" along with "/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log" ; "Please open ROM Manager to report the issue". If you wish, I have attached the recovery log.

I have tried reformatting my SD card to FAT32 to no avail.

I thank you in advance for your help!

TWRP IS A Good choice. I've used CWM on my phones in the past and its always worked well for me. After having issues with CWM on my tablet, I flashed TWRP and now I wish it was available for my phone. Its faster and the UI is much better.

Don't be, will just rewrite your recovery partition, where recovery was and nothing else

I have tried during my tests different test images supposedly to be Clockwork Mod and some didn't work at all as I wasn't able to enter recovery. However, I always had my bootloader so I could simply get back into fastboot and reflash my old working CWM.
However, I do not know if this is because the "other" CWMs were harmless enough or if it's always that way.
