You could try changing the backup folders to .zip on your phone through file manager then seeing if your pc recognizes them. Then change the file type back to original once transfered to your pc. Has helped me bofore. goodluck

thank you my dear but where and what exactly are the backup folders . been looking over and over
have you upgraded to 4.2??
If so you need the latest CWM recovery.
TWRP no good last time i checked.

Use the cmd prompt on your pc (run from where adb is installed) to try to find the path where clockwork mod is located as follows:
adb ls /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
adb ls /sdcard/0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you see the clockworkmod folder in either locations?
If you find it in using the 1st statement then you can pull the nandroid backup to your computer with the following command:
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod /clockworkmod/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you find it in location 2 then use command:
adb pull /sdcard/0/clockworkmod /clockworkmod/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should copy the entire nandroid backup to your PC.

thanx man the last command worked and it did pull some files but they are not backup files. some files in KBs and one folder named downloads.
If the second command seems to be working then you can use below commands to check what's in the directory:
adb ls /sdcard/0/clockworkmod/
Normally you should have two folders 'backup' & 'blobs'. You can further check what's inside these folders by typing:
adb ls /sdcard/0/clockworkmod/backup/

It was moved anyways so whatever
why would you post it in the wrong section purposely. also why dont you use ADB through a computer? try and learn to copy files from directory to directory in Linux. if you can figure it out after awhile. I will show you.
cant don't have a sync cable
Do you own a computer? because you will need adb to do what you want. seeing as we cant write to system as it is mounted to access /system you need to be in clockwork with /system mounted

Yes i own a computer, No i do not have the original box it came in i got my phone off craigslist which means no sync cable.. im asking if it can be done in terminal or another program to push a boot image and force reboot from the phone
From my understanding of this, you can not do it via any method other than adb using a cable. If you can only get write access to /system when in recovery then you will need a cable and do it via the computer.

Ok...this is going to be kinda a pain in the but for ya. here is how you should be able to do it. You will need internet and your PC. You will also end up having to reflash whatever rom you are running. Take whatever rom you are using and put it on your computer. Open archive using 7zip like I explained to you before. Put your File (should be named bootanimation.zip) in the system/media folder and close the archive file. You will then need to upload the file to something like mediafire or 4shared and then use your phone to DL it. Or you can put your sd card in your PC and transfer it that way.
Other than that I dont know how or if it is even possable to push a file using terminal emulator let alone how it would be done.
I was running Jelly bean for 2 weeks now and no problems and I hooked the phone up to my charger and it just started to bootload itself over and over and so I just tried to install my backup and start over but it says error while restoring data on all my backups. I need help on whether or not I am screwed or If I can connect my phone to my computer someway and use clockwork and maybe do something that way. I am able to get to clockwork rec and I believe that my files have been erased some how some way and cant connect to my computer to just start over unless one of you guys can really help me out. If I can get step by step help I will def buy someone a beer or two or three. Thanks
If you have a rom zip on your sdcard just boot into recovery, wipe and flash a new rom. If you don't then go into recovery, mount sdcard to your computer and move a zip onto your sd and then flash.

Connect your phone to your computer, boot into CWM recovery, and use ADB to push a ROM.zip, GAPPS, and whatever else you need to flash to your phone. You can then do a data wipe in CWM and flash the ROM.
If you don't know how to use ADB, download the package I've attached to this post. Unzip it to your home directory and drop any files you need to push into that file as well. Open up Terminal, type "cd" (no quotes) and drag that unzipped Mac_ADB_Fastboot folder into the terminal and hit return. It'll take you to that directory.
First, make sure the computer recognized the device by typing:
Code:
./adb devices
and hitting return.
If it detects, then type this into the Terminal, of course substituting any file you need (GAPPS, etc.) where "ROM.zip" is:
Code:
./adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/

adb is a platform tool in android sdk, and can use on mac surely.
you can get one sent by martonikaj.
firstly you have to try to mount your sdcard in the cwm recovery. if it done, you can use adb push send file to sdcard.

You could always just find someone with a PC that will let you use it for 15 minutes, download the rom, move to your phone, boot into recovery, flash and enjoy. I always have 2 or 3 rom zips on my phone just for that reason.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
The run down. My phone is bootloader unlocked rooted etc. already flashed xenon rom and everything was great. (Just got the device today)
Ok so here's the trouble i'm in. I decided I wanted to try another rom so i boot into clockwork recovery wipe system,data cache etc. suddenly all my files dont exist.
I have no back up file (my stupidity). I can still get into fastboot, clockwork etc, but it does not recognize a sd card on the device.
i tried loading up Samnsung Toolkit v7.8.0 and all i see in the top menu is
fastboot-toolkit is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
adb-toolkit is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file
this is what worries me. I plug the device in on my windows computer it recognizes something no sd card.. currently downloading factory images
BUT WHAT DO I DO?!!!! pls help and pls do not flame me etc. All I'm asking is simple help thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
A. Do not use toolkit. Unless you know how to solve things manually
B. Google how to setup adb and fastboot.
C. "adb push NAME_OF_ROM.zip /sdcard/" while on custom recovery
D. Flash that ROM

There is no sdcard on the gNex. As long as data is mounted you should be good
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
1st of all, Gnex doesn't have SDcard, therefore, you can't mount it. You can only use adb to push and pull files on recovery
2nd, are you sure you got proper driver? Do you actually have the ROM.zip on the same directory as adb.exe? If not, you need to do that. Also, if /sdcard/ doesn't work, /storage/sdcard0/ should work. It's a same directory. Just in different name for some reason.

Okay so my father was about to flash to my rom. We Wiped data, cache, delvik, and installed rom. Said it worked and rebooted the phone. Phone tossed us into the CWM again and we tried flashing again and it gives us error #7. Soooo, We did NOT make a backup and every time we try to reflash the rom it gives us error 7. We can't get the Phone to be detected by the computer so we can at least grab his data. The thing here is we can't afford to lose the data on the phone (I know, should have made a backup). Any advice on how to proceed would help significantly. I've never seen this kind of issue in my years of rooting android phones. It just sits at the Google screen and doesn't go anywhere.
Phone is Verizon Galaxy nexus running (was) MIUI
Update: Tried flashing back his previous rom (MIUI) and I'm getting the error 7 again. Even though that past rom worked perfectly. This is all very frustrating.
What data do you want to keep? Internal storage won't be wiped when flashing ROMs, and as for app data, contacts, SMS, etc, as long as you can enter CWM, you can pull them out of the phone with "adb pull".

Well the problem is I don't have the Nexus adb installed onto the PC, so I can't connect to the nexus through USB. Can I install adb and everything without being in the rom? also I'm trying to get the Titanium backup folder and the photos.
If you can get into recovery, that means you can use adb. Just install the driver (if you are on Windows) and adb should work.

adb pull [remote file] [local file]
You can pull the whole folder from your phone. The folder of Titanium Backup should be /sdcard/TitaniumBackup or something similar. For photos it is in /sdcard/DCIM

Go in to TWRP> Advanced> adb sideload, now (must have ADB installed and phone connected to computer) have the desired file to flash on your computers desktop and now hold the shift key and right mouse click> open command window here. Then in this command window type adb sideload rom.zip (whatever the actual name of the zip file is included .zip at the end)
TWRP install ROM from SD slot. Hell, it can even be installed via a mounted USB OTG stick. Did you try putting you ROM onn an SD card and try it?

Uninstall/reinstall them. Make sure you have ADB installed correctly too (google/youtube for this). Change USB ports on your computer perhaps? - If this is all done correectly there will be no reason it will fail unless there is a hardware issue
