Ok I have 5 nandroid backups named by date..Is there a way I can tell which rom they are without actually flashing each? I have vael, ava, myn, and stock and I can't tell which is which.
As for your question I don't have an answer.
But, after a nandroid, I've always gone in and renamed it so I could tell what it is, using a file explorer.
I agree
I said the hell with it reflashed/renamed the latest two and will rename after a backup in the future.
Use rom manager. You can restore, rename or delete your nandroid backups.
That is if your using clockwork.

Just put in USB mode after nandroid and rename your backup from now on

The backups will appear in the clockworkmod folder on your SD card. You can restore them easily with CWM so it's a good way to do backups.
the backup is sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/your backup files .it was created by time.

Hi guys, I will update my rom CM10 (since goomanager says it has an update) and this is my first time using titanium backup. I back up an app and where will that backup be saved? I need to wipe my system and that includes wiping titanium backup. So lets say i already flashed the latest update rom for my phone, then installed titanium backup. Will my backup files still be there?

Hi, I stupidly went back to stock and lost my imei number without making a efs backup, when I used aroma it asked if I wanted to make an efs backup and I said yes.
Would that backup help me in returning fully to stock rom? If so, where would that backup be stored in my phone?
Hope someone can help
Thanks a lot

I must add that I didnt back up on the stock rom, I was already on a custom rom, if that helps.
Many thanks

The backup you made will be no good cause it will contain the efs of the new rom you installed.. you can check though. The efs backup will be on your sd card..
Sdcard/EFS
In efs theres folders inc imei wifi bluetooth etc

Do I have to be rooted to see that folder? As its not in my sd card, the only way I can see that folder is in root explorer but im not rooted at the moment.
Can I ask one more question? If I were to put stock rom back on my phone and use newer modem, my imei and network will come back, would I be able to get ota updates? Because when ive tried to search for an update, it would just hang on searching.

Yes. Copy them to your pc under efs backup aswell for safe keeping. There are guides on here of how to restore your efs with 4.1.2 roms but you will need root.
As you have efs backup I found this for you. Make sure you read and understand before doing anything..

That zip file in the link is a app. Download install.. if you backed up the efs on the stock rom before flashing the new rom it will work..
The only other thing to do is flash this modem via cwm recovery.
It says it fixes the problem

I think ive messed my phone up!!! ive somehow deleted everything in my efs folder.
I still have a back up from efs pro? can I use that to restore my efs? if so how??
please help, im screwed
You've backed up the new modified efs folder which is only compatible with the new firmwares. You can restore from that backup, in fact you need to, but there is no going back to old firmware now. You can achieve stock if you download and flash a stock rom of version DME6 or newer, but you can never use anything older again.

How would I go about restoring that backup from efs pro? As when I am trying to select it in the restore section of efs pro it can not be seen in drop down box?
It is in tar format, there is a pit file with it but I guess as I wiped everything out of my actual efs folder through root explorer it might not work.
Also I have a pop up on my screen with loads of different information like an error pop up? I cant screen shot it other wise I would show u

You're in factory mode. I can't help you restore as I don't use efs pro.

as its in tar format cant I just use that in odin to flash in pda bit? also would flashing a df1 modem help restore my efs? im so tired of this I was up until 6 in the morning trying to fix it :-0
hello guys i just wanna ask how to bake up all the stuff on my grand to restore it after flashing a new rom if its possible to do that as a zip file to flash it through cwm and plz i need the step by step way to do that if it was by using tetanium back up thanx alot in advanced
Firstly it is backup and not bake up.
And why do you need to make the backup as a flashable zip. You're making things more complicated.
Just backup through CWM by going to backup and restore>backup to storage/sdcard1 or 0.
You can simply restore it by going to backup and restore>restore and select your restoration file.

Use titanium backup to backup user apps
Use cmw recovery to backup full rom

thnx but is it possible to backup my apps through cwm?
By going to backup and restore>backup to storage/sdcard1 or sdcard0 everything gets backed up, even the apps.
To restore just go to backup and restore>restore from sdcard1.
