hey all! i have a rooted verizon s3 and i was wanting to play around, but before i get too crazy i want to make a nandroid. however, each time i try to create one with CWM, i get an error that says something like you have 12g of space on your sd card. i know that i have enough space on my card so i'm not sure what the deal is. how have others gotten around this? help a bro make a nandroid!

 

my bad...

v5.0.1.1

if i scroll down it has an option to "flash cwm touch".

 

both, i believe. i've selected "backup current ROM" and also rebooted into recovery and tried there. no dice. oh and the version i posted is for ROM manager. perhaps looking at wrong thing?

 

s3 not currently supported. thanks though.

 

maybe i'm dumb but that download was a zip file into a tar file into a zip file, which then didn't open...

 

i downloaded the apk file, which was just a different gui for cwm but still didn't fix it. that tar file sounds like it's used to root using odin, which i already am.

 

tried to open this using cwm, it was "bad" and install aborted.

 

got you. following those instructions on the link now.

 

failed. phone still in download mode. bah. followed all instructions. i can reboot my phone from download mode ok, right?

 

can i just reboot as normal from the downloading screen?

 

complete (write) operation failed

looks like the issue

edit - holding down power isn't doing anything. can i pull the battery? at this point i just want to get back to a regular boot.

 

thanks for all your help man. didn't seem to want to work today. i'll keep looking.

 

definitely used the tar file and definitely didn't tick repartition.

cheers, have a good night.
