Hi
I already have CWM installed but CWM and TWRP have their limitations about what they can backup, whereas the dedicated tools for MTK phones should, you would have thought, would do the complete job in a few clicks.
I'm beginning to think that these tools are not as good as I hoped that they would be.
When you say specify the format of the SDCARD, I'm not quite sure what you mean as the internal SD Card is in whatever format I would have expected it to come with the ROM.
My external SD card is standard fat32.
Talking of CWM, I have also noticed an oddity.
Following every restore, there is a delay of a minute or so after the bootanimation has completed.
When looking in the clockworkmod folder, apart from the last manual backup that I made, with a specific date format, there is another that is being automatically created with a different date format.
Each one contains boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, system.ext4.tar and a folder names files containing a file called files.md5
I've never known CWM act like this following restores on any of my Rockchip devices.
data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar are weighing in with rather large file sizes filling up the external sd card.
With the only backup that can be restored correctly, on boot up I do get a very brief message saying Android is upgrading, starting apps but it's only there for a couple of seconds.
None of the restores from subsequent backups have this android is upgrading message upon bootup.
