Android Several questions/app requests

Well I am 99% sure the file I gave you is the right one & from a quick skim it seems like a known issue as its not compatible with rom manager so try going to settings->applications->cmw and chose backup firmware from there . If that doesn't work then I probably misunderstood something as I am abit lazy to read the whole thing .

CWM isn't listed in that menu.
I'll list what I've done so far:

- Rooted via PC programme, SuperOneClick thingy IIRC
- Installed Clockworkmod
- Installed CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS via ODIN

I want to have a NAND backup, so when I get tired of a custom ROM like MIUI, I can revert my phone back to the exact state it's currently in.
Then I don't need to go through the hassle of downloading all those apps again, and customizing them to my liking. I can just restore it in 1 go

And it is when you try to make a Nand backup that you get the error?

 

[The_Dragons_Mast]

Well that's weird it should be there if the flashing went well. Are you sure you flashed it as instructed and got no errors? Normally in this cases I would suggest a factory reset but that would defy the purpose of the whole thing so try uninstalling cwm & re-flashing and see what happens .

I'm going to post the whole process in case something went wrong with the last CF file.
(Do not install Clockworkmod from market, if you have it installed, Remove it)

1. Download this CF file: http://www.mediafire.com/?1o650o0zcnd7c4n
2. Unzip the file "CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar"to desktop/CF-ROOT/ (create the folder CF-ROOT on your desktop and put the file in it).
3. SHIFT+Right click and open Odin as admin, I guess you have it downloaded already or else download the latest version here: http://www.mediafire.com/?i27nn2say2808j8
4. Turn your phone off. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
5. Now you want to boot your phone in Download Mode: Press and hold “VolumeDOWN + HOME key + POWER button” together.
6. Connect the phone to PC. Make sure that Odin has recognized your phone.
7. Now you want to click on the "PDA" button in Odin and select the "CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar" that you Unzip'd to desktop/CF-ROOT/ folder.
8. Make sure that you do NOT have any “.pit” file selected in the “PIT” box, and make sure “Repartition” button is NOT checked.
9. Leave the “Auto Reboot” and the “F. Reset Time” buttons checked.
10. Just to make sure double check Step 7, 8 and 9.
11. Click on the "Start" button in Odin tool.
12. After the install is complete the phone should reboot itself.
13. Install Superuser from android market.

Now:
Reboot the phone into recovery by:
1. Turn off phone.
2. Press and hold until Galaxy S logo appears: VolumeUP+HOME+POWER

Now try do a nandroid backup.
