Pardon my ignorance, but is there a way to change the backups location in 4ext recovery? I couldn't find it going through the menus...just curious. Thanks in advance.

If you have installed Rom Manager (altough your recovery is 4ext), then you will find it in the Clockworkmod > backup folder) if not check in the download or 4ext folder.
hope it helps.
Very Helpful!

It helped me!
I had Clockwork installed, then TWRP and now 4EXT and for whatever reason, it did appear in the Clockwork folder Oh well lol.
Per the 4ext developer, it is done by design. Check out this post by madmaxx82:

Dear all, please help. i have been using hybrid ROM 2.1 with terma kernel, sd 2nd partition n a2sd. after about 3months, 2 hours ago when i was trying restore my stock ROM backup with cwm by madteam it shows an error message while restoring. i m sure that i have followed all da steps correctly. what to do now? please help me out.
You only can get back to stock with odin, CWM cant acces .rfs filesystem, only ext2/3/4. So reflash firmware with odin.
Don't forget to hit thanks

it is not an odin package, just a cwm backup which i made before start to use a custom ROM.

Yes i know: cwm doesnt have acces to the filesystem .rfs so the only way to get back to stock is download a odin firmware package on sammobile.com and flash that with odin.
You cannot restore a backup of stock rom after flashing a custom rom.

if you have backed up your original kernel before flashing terma's kernel, then flash it and restore your cwm back up

You'll get MD5 mismatch error when you use CWMs not meant for your device. Use MadTeam's or Skin's CWM to backup/restore and there'll be no MD5 mismatch.

make sure that the back up inside your cwm folder has no spaces in case you renamed it
ex:
correct --> my_backup
wrong ---> my backup

Get your stock kernel here. Flash it through Odin as PDA. You can restore your Stock ROM after you've got back to stock kernel.

Which CWM did you use to make the backup? Backups made with Madteam's and Skin's don't have MD5 mismatch problem.
I have already a copy of the original stock ROM on sd card which I want to bring it back on my Gio. When I try to restore it through CWM, it gives an error that there is error with the md5. I even tried it with Titanium and it gives error too.
How else can I restore this stock back on my phone?
The backup probably got wiped so you can only get stock using odin or one flashable through recovery from here
I did make a copy of the backup on my laptop too, and the same I have put on the sd card to restore it.
I tried to restore it from CWM but it failed.
How can I restore this backup (there are two folders backup + download) by Odin?
You can't restore backups using odin.
I guess you want full stock?
Grab official firmware for you country on sammobile.com
And search the flash instructions on the forums
Thanks for the suggestion.
If its not possible to restore with the backup, then what can it be done with the back up we take?

If it isn't working the backup is useless, delete it and free up your sd card storage
You can't backup it by cmw.

he has 6 posts, he's just trolling to get 10 I guess, and talking complete ****.
you can use ADB to backup, pull system.rfs, recovery.img, boot.img from a running phone, create a .tar, and create md5sum with cygwin, so you can flash it with odin, , but I don't know if you can also pull your data/cache partition and so have a backup..
edit:
your current backup has a md5 fail I think, because you moved it to your laptop and it got corrupted.
you can remove .md5 and extract it?

Hey
@OP you can restore the backup through CWM normally but in special circumstances the md5 checksum will change.. search online for md5 fixer ... i used to do this on my galaxy Y and it worked...

Found the imei number under the battery of the phone. But I need help changing it. Cant find a guide for LGG3, can someone help me?
And yes, I did do a backup, but it just rebooted to TWRP and nothing happened after that. So now I Unbricked using lgg3root site, still 0 though :/

Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329. If you dont have a backup you may be in serious trouble

I will need to root and install twrp again. But like a said in the first post after restore the phone it rebooted to twrp and i could not get out of twrp without flashing another rom... but i will try my luck again.
I will be happy to donate a litt cash your way if you can help me
First thing you want to do is take the whole back up folder and COPY it to your pc incase you wipe it or muck up re-bumping the TWRP

Thanks! Good advice. I installed TWRP, but after i restored it booted up in TWRP again. How do i get it to boot up as normal?
There is a thread in dev section to solve when you are stuck in twrp.

Good, These are nice to have.
One note, TWRP creates a directory structure from the serial number of the phone, so you can't just zip up the entire twrp folder
the backup would not be visible on another device with a different serial number. ( I downloaded the file and it's last folder in the path below)
So the path to my TWRP backup is
sdcard1/TWRP/Backups/my serial number/date of backup
So the best way to pack your file is just zip/rar the /date of backup folder
and instruct others where to extract it too
I.E -> sdcard1/TWRP/Backups/your serial number/put backup here
hope this helps.
I'll be starting my own collection of goodies for this phone on my AFH account soon and I'll share the links for all to use
I mirrored your file here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847292996

I'd like to add to that - when doing that, you should take care to change the device ID on the TWRP folder to match your own.
*swoops back to own forum*
Can you post a "working " not working " section into the OP? How well does this work? Are there features not working like fingerprint or camera?
Edit - my mistake...I thought this was a AOSP backup.
I created a backup, then deleted the the contents and moved the contents of this backup in its place so that it would recognize it, however when I try to restore it, I get an error stating there were no partitions?

Ok, I was able to get it all sorted out, I just had to calm down, think, and teach myself some new comand line skills hahaha
I downloaded the stock Firmware, however I wasn't able to install it since I had TWRP and it was blocking it.... so I found this tool, Huawei Update Extractor that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 Then used this Extractor to expand the firmware and extract the stock Recovery.img out of it. Then flashed that to the phone via fastboot. Now, I was able to run the stock firmware update via the factory EMUI update app. Once that was done I was able too boot the phone back up and I was suprised to find that it didn't wipe the phone, I guess it ran it as a true "upgrade" instead of a nuke and pave.... BONUS!
Anyhow, then I was able to flash the new TWRP recovery back in place and now I'm currently creating a backup.... which if I had taken the time to do in the first place none of this would have happend. Oh, well... who needs more than 3 hours of sleep..... its not like I work full time and have 5 kids under 5 :silly:
Hope this helps someone who gets flash happy and forgets to make a back up like I did!

As stated above on the link to the stock firmware.... I can post the stock recovery image tonight, its at home on my computer, but it'll probably be faster for you to download that extractor tool and pull it out yourself.... I posted the link to the tool earlier.
Restored Succesfully
Just FYI, this backup worked for me to restore on a KIW-L21 (European Honor 5X). What I did was to first make a backup, which created the proper folder structure and I then copied these backup files into that folder, replacing what was in there. Restore took about a minute and then phone booted in about 3. Thanks alot for this!
Deleted
I can confirm that it works with KIW-L21 too.
edit: after that my twrp didn't work correctly. Apparently there are some twrps that don't work with some devices.
I reinstalled twrp with this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190
After everything was fine.

Boot.img - the kernel is different
I know because the OTG fix for the L21 will not work on the L24 because of missing libraries
Thanks for the Rom
Really Helpfull, Thanks
Yes I believe that is the case
I'm not sure on all the radio bands though
