The SD card failed, I got a replacment, and rebuilt it from my last backup
of the card data. I rebooted into clockwork and I'm doing a nandroid
backup of the current nand partitions. I'm then going to update
my titanium backup with the apps that were added since the
last card backup. I think that should bring everything up to date
on the temp card. Did I forget anything else?
Sort of a 'disaster recovery' from media failure.
thanks

Maybe I am not understanding completely but do you mean that you did a NAND backup and then formatted your SD card, now you want to restore your backup? I might be missing something here but just remember that a NAND backup is basically taking a snapshot of your system's state and writing that to a single image file on your SD card. That way if you screw up a setting or want to swap between different ROMs you just restore the image from your storage card. If you format the card you are deleting all saved data including backup images.
I performed a nand restore on my Evo this morning. Everything seemed to be going fine. The restore completed and I booted up the phone. I went to change the wallpaper and it couldn't find any. So I mounted the sd card as a disk drive and started looking. I found that everything in the dcim folder, wallpaper folder, and the video folder were gone. The folders were still there but all of the files in them were gone. They were there before the nandroid restore. I tested the card and no error were found. I am not using apps2sd and don't have any ext partitions. The card is formatted fat32. If the restore didn't cause it, any ideas what else might have? I thought the card had corrupted but the tests were good, it is a new card, it is a brand name card, and it has been working fine for a month now.
Hi,
I recently upgraded from default 2gb sd card to an 8 gb one. the old one is formatted as fat (as shown in windows). The new one is fat32. I copied all contents from old card to new one including the clockworkmod/backup folders, but when in recovery it doesnn't detect any nandroid backups to restore (error that comes up is Couldn't open directory. No files found). Also if i try to create any new backup it starts creating one but when recovery is restarted new backup is not visible. Also at the start of nandroid backup it always shows incorrect free space for sd card. Please help

Hi,
Just for everyone's info, i solved the problem, upgraded to latest cwm 5.0.2.0, created nandroid backup on new empty card and later copied contents of old sd card to the new one. Strange thing was that old cwm recovery 2.5.0.1 was somehow unable to create/restore backups from new larger capacity sd card.
The phone is a rooted AT&T SGS3. Wanted to unroot the phone so I could take the OTA JB update. Booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.4 and selected to backup to external SD card. Received the following:
ClockworkMood Recovery v6.0.1.4
SD Card space free: 6506MB
Backing up boot image...
Backing up recovery image...
Backing up system...
Freeing space...
Done freeing space.
Waited a while and rebooted. received notification that Ext. SD card was damaged. ASTRO File Manager could not see the card. My laptop could not see the card. Put the card back in the phone and CWM Recovery could see it. Attempted to do backup and received the following:
ClockworkMood Recovery v6.0.1.4
SD Card space free: 6506MB
Backing up boot image...
Backing up recovery image...
Backing up system...
Freeing space...
Done freeing space.
Error while making a backup image of /system!
Now the notification is gone and ASTRO can see the card; however, folders are missing from the card.
I have never had any problems with the card until trying to make the backup. Did I do something wrong?
Try putting the SD card into the adapter it came with and plug in into your computer. Open a command prompt, and type "chkdsk e:"(replace with whatever your drive letter is) followed by /r. It should check your SD card and fix any problems

Help please,
I made a nandroid backup of data in TWRP before flashing CloudyG3_2.4.
After the phone came up and I restored my apps using smsbackup, at this point, I could see the external sd card and all the contents.
I then reboot into recovery and restored data only from nandroid backup made earlier and rebooted the phone.
From here, I cannot see the SD card when the phone restarted but:
1. The sdcard works on other phones/computers without problems and has all the data intact.
2. I can see the SD card and all the files when I reboot into TWRP recovery and go to file Explorer
3. SD card is mounted in the advanced settings in TWRP.
4. Someone on a thread advised I formatted the sdcard to "FAT" in TWRP but I first backed up on my PC with a card reader before putting the SD card back in the phone to format but even though it says successful, it is giving an MTP error = 1
5. I can't find the SD card or any of its files using rootbrowser, or sdmaid etc ie. In normal boot.
I need help please. Thanks
