Then how can i Install that back up when in need because Clock work mod does not restore that folder....
It does. You backup and restore from cwm, don't modify/open/anything the folder.

In cwm hit system restore and select the folder that is your system back up, don't change the backed up file and do not try to zip it and do not try to rename it because it will screw up the md5

So, I've made a backup of my ROM previously before through ClockworkMod Recovery. What I was wondering, is there a way to open/browse these on one's PC? I've tried various software (WinRAR, DaemonTools, etc.) and can't open/browse it. Does anybody know of a way I can browse one of the recovery images?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Backups are images of your rom and I don't think there is a tool for opening those types of images I could be wrong..... you might go to Koush's website and ask him he created clockwork you can find him in twitter to

Well I assume its similar to the way something like Acronis or Ghost works, as in imaging the entire system (in this case, each section [system, data, etc]). I'll look into getting a hold of him... thanks.
Reason I ask is because I would like to pull just a few files from my old backup image, and not necessarily restore the whole thing. I guess I could backup my current config, restore the old backup, take the files off that I need, and then restore back to my current image.. but that would take effort .
Sounds like something that could possibly be done with titanium backup?

Yea you might use your computers search tool to find something to opeen it click in and when it asks if you want to search the internet for a tool to open the file click yes....maybe you will get lucky

Can Titanium Backup open .img files created by ClockworkMod Recovery? I haven't seen a setting in there to be able to do that.

Well I've done that... I've tried MagicISO which is one of the more recommended programs to open .IMG files, but it fails to open the android backup .img. I guess I can research it a bit more...
You can copy the system and boot .img files from the backups folder and use dsixda's kitchen to import them. It will create a working folder that has the apk's etc in it. Not as easy as just copying them to the PC and browsing them but will do what you ask

The kitchen is I great tool to have I know you were looking for something easy but if you take the time to set it up its worth it..... follow nilsp link and checkit out...

You can use Titanium Backup Pro to extract the backup file. go to the main menue (i can do that by tapping the menue button of my Galaxy S2)...there choose Extract from Nandroid Backup....You will figure out the rest.
You can also use an app called Nandroid Browser....
Okay so after i flash a new rom, and make a backup. Am i able to delete the zip file? Say ive been using jugs rom. After each update i create an backup in rom manager just in case. Then i delete the old jugs zips. Am i able to just restore an older rom from manager without the actual zip file saved? If anyone knows what i am trying to say.

It's better to keep the .zip file handy in case you gotta do a full flash

I have tried finding a guide specific for our phone, but only found it for other samsung phones..is it the same process to create a flashable zip? I just need to create one that will flash a modified systemUI.apk in /system/app..not sure where to start on a template..

All phones are different. Some have a yaffs2 mount system, others like our devices, have an ext4 mounting system. Here is my systemUI zip i use and created. Have fun!
You should be able to download elesbb's zip. With root explorer extract all and replace his systemui.apk with yours, rezip and flash away. And be sure to thank him for the template/updater-script.

Hello all,
Earlier while in stock android 4.2, ask my internal storages files like images, music were under sdcard/ directory.
After flashing PA2.99 B5 I can see that all those have been moved to a new directory under sdcard/0/.
As a result my TB folder went under this new /0/ dir and I has to redirect my TB to restore from the old location.
Similar is the case for Camera folder.
Any help why this happened and how to avoid this duplicate folder list creation.

OK.. I was using CWM at the point of flashing PA.
Can I now change the recovery to TWRP? Will that restore the original directory structure back ?

i am having the same problem. Went from stock 4.2 to cm10 4.1.2 or so.
I have the latest recovery installed...
If any1 knows how to fix this i would like to hear.
Hi,
Once I upgrade to the latest recovery, would the sdcard/0 content be merged and get sorted by itself or would I have to manually merge the contents?
Please advice!
Same here. The only backups I can find using root explorer are the ones prior to 4.2 how ever when I open up clockwork mod app it doesn't show the old backups just the new ones. I must have missed something along the way.

I have had the same problem i thought i did something wrong flashing the rom so i re falshed it and now it went from /0 to /0 /0 then i tried to manually move everything back to the root folder and merge all the folders but to my surprise the folders did get merged but not the contents and hence i lost all my camera photos !!
So as suggested please update the recovery before flashing so that you dont land up like me... and if you want to move the content back i suggest using a computer to do it rather than a file explorer !!
I wish there were step by step instructions for this one. There seems to be a lot of confusion.
I've done a bit of searching but can't seem to find anything, search on phone isn't great. Is there a way to rename backups? The reason I ask is I have a few backups from different roms but not sure which are which. I'd like to be able to rename according to rom.

I had renamed the backups from my pc on another phone. But I had a problem while restoring that backup maybe because the name was changed

I've used rom manager in the past on other phones but on this it keeps telling me I need to flash Cwm but I already have touch installed and if I say yes install it flashes normal Cwm but I want to keep touch

Don't use ROM Manager (it's crap) and flash things manually instead
With regards to backups, copy them to your PC and rename the folders there (something like Desktop/ROM-NAME/CWM file name)
