Hello
My problem is that I downloaded the nand stock rom from the thread and extracted it and tried to put it in the clockworkmod\backups folder and I think it was ok (not sure) but by mistake I deleted all of backups (the stock and the one i created) and I tried to copy it again and create another one but I noticed that there never 2 backups.
The one that I created I can see only from the restore option in recovery and not in the folder ( I used to see it in the folder ..) and the stock one I can see in the folders but not in the restore option.
Should it be like this ? Am I doing something wrong ?
How can I restore that stock backup if I cant see it ?
I'm on ordroid 9 with TWRP recovery.
And the stock one gets in ZIP but i extracted it and copied as folder.
Thanks in advance , I'm afraid to flash new version.
That's because you didn't put it into clockworkmod>backup folder in the sd card and btw you don't extract anything .....every nandroid backup must have 5 zip files in it (don't extract it) and should be named as the date and time it was created
The folder should be like this
Clockworkmod\backup\date & time folder\backup files

I know :\
I extracted the stock backup folder from the zip . not the content in backup.
Forgot the part about renaming, that actually might be the case.
Thanks both of you, I'll try it.

Already tried that but it contains only the apps which come with the original stock rom(stock apps) and not the ones I downloaded..
The apps that u install after getting the device started are not in the system folder but the data folder which can be found in data.rfs.tar
and then in data folder open app u will find them either there or a backup of those somewhere in the .tar file only dnt remeber properly
your downloaded app is stored in data.rfs.tar (if you put them on internal memory) or .android_secure.vfat.tar (if you put them on sdcard)

ty both of u.. srry culdnt press the button cuz i hav reached my limit of 8 thnks
is it safe to place the files in /system/app folder and remove the old ones??
yup...if you already have the newer one its safe to remove the old one. but make sure you delete the odex files too. no need to press that silly button. I'm just a noob here, not a dev.
You can try but when i put vending.apk when 1st open it installing again on /data and operamini.apk can't put on system always force close in my case.
in DXLB and newer firmware market in system app is named phonesky.apk. vending.apk is the older version used in older firmware. we don't need them if we already have phonesky.apk.
I was doing some changes to my phone so i did a backup and then copied the backup directory from the phone to my PC to save it. The backup was under /clockworkmod/backup/Jan312013.
I copied that directory (Jan312013) to my PC not even realizing when it copied it, for some reason it changed it to a zip file??? Now i have Jan312013.zip and have no idea how to copy that back to phone to restore?? If i open the zip it has all the files that would normally be in the backup directory but of course recovery does not recognize a zip file for backup.
Thoughts? Help? Thanks.
What version of CWM, if that's what youre using? I just used 6.0.2.3, and i believe there's an option to backup as .zip. Maybe you accidentallychose that method?
hello. i need to get back to stock im on cid htc 001
h,boot 1.39.0000
radio-5.1204.162A.29
3.20.401.1
what i think iv found out is that there is no ruu out for this, iv found a nandroid bk up but it is a rar file. this is what im stuck on how to restore with it
Open the rar with winrar/winzip/7zip and extract all the files to your pc... and now transfer all the files to your phone in this directory /clockworkmod/backup/02-06-2013/ and put the boot.img file in the fastboot folder.
Go to fastboot mode and then flash the boot.img and then erase cache... Go to recovery and then wipe everything! and finally restore backup and then reboot!
PS: I'm assuming you have a backup made with CWM recovery!
CWM recovery made 2 rar file

can any1 help? has any one experienced this type of backup and restored using these type of files?
hye,
I have created several nandroid backup using CWM. I would like to delete one or two of that backup, but can't find where it is located.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
On your SD card, there should be a folder called clocworkmod. look inside there and find a folder marked backup. There will be some date stamped folders in there. Just delete the folder.
If you have ROM manager, you can use it to delete backups too.

My phone is GT-N7105 (Samsung Note 2)
=============SHORT STORY=============
TWRP can't recognize my backup folder name which I am trying to restore
=====================================
=============LONG STORY=============
I had a nandroid backup before, then I copied the backup to PC, still have it. Then I flashed lineage 13. I deleted the nandroid backup on the phone storage. Now I want to restore the backup so I copied the backup files from the PC.
Now when I go to TWRP Restore mode, no backups are found.
I already searched through the internet and found the renaming method but there's a problem:
this is my original backup:
TWRP/backups/42f7491d7b409fc7/2017-03-01--05-28-34_JZO54K.N7105XXDMB
I tried to make a new backup of my current lineage (just to see if the folder name changed based on the new folder the backup process will create), here is what the resulting folder was:
TWRP/backups/42f7491d7b409fc7/2017-07-05--09-27-29_lineage_tOlte-userdebug_6.0.1_MOB31K_ab972c
As you can see, only the innermost folder name changed. So from what I found through searching, it said to rename the old backup folder to the new backup folder's name, meaning :
I changed
2017-03-01--05-28-34_JZO54K.N7105XXDMB
to
2017-07-05--09-27-29_lineage_tOlte-userdebug_6.0.1_MOB31K_ab972c
TWRP still can't see the original backup.
So what should I rename the original backup folder for TWRP to recognize it and make it appear?
EDIT:
I already updated my TWRP but problem still exists.
Create a new backup with your current rom, then remove it and add the old one instead.

Sorry not really a developer type of guy and I regret tinkering with these stuff on my phone.
What you meant was to make a backup with current rom just to get the folder name that TWRP will recognize and then swap the old stock backup into the folder?
If I just rename the stock backup folder name to 2017-07-05--09-27-29_lineage_tOlte-userdebug_6.0.1_MOB31K_ab972c it's the same as what you said right?
and it should still run smoothly (stock rom should be restored without errors)?
Sorry just asking out of caution.
It's ok, we're all helping each others here. And we all had lots of mistakes and we still do.
Anyways, yes renaming it could do the trick but you don't need to rename the backup name directly. Instead, you need to rename the folder containing the backup.
TWRP path is going to be similar to that
/TWRP/BACKUPS/4d00475b004150de/2017-07-05--09-27-29_lineage_tOlte-userdebug_6.0.1_MOB31K_ab972c

All you need to get is that folder name "4d00475b004150de" because it's auto generated by twrp, that's why I asked you to create another backup even if you just backed up your boot file to generate the folder.
Once you did the backup you can then move your old backup to that folder or rename that old similar folder to the newly created one (not the rom backup folder itself).

Oh, the folder name code you're referring to was 42f7491d7b409fc7 for me. Thanks. I tried it and everything worked (done restoring and it looks like everything is working so far). Thanks a lot again!
To moderators, this topic's problem is solved. Not sure if the topic needs to be locked after being solved, but yeah just a heads up. Not very active here.
Cheers.
