  6. Hi, I've tried to do this HOW-TO in my GT-S6313T and succeeded, system rebooted nicely, shutdown and booted well, went back to CWM and rebooted well too. But when I tried to make a backup with CWM, it wasn't able to backup recovery image and yet unable to reboot system, keeping coming to CWM every time I reboot. Could anyone help me about it?
