default backup folder is placed in /data/media/TWRP/backups/....
After doing backup your default backups localisation is usually moved to /data/media/0/TWRP/backups.. (the new file .twrps in TWRP folder is created. Backups localisation depends on where .twrp is placed.)
OK so I can find it in root browser but how do I get it visible in twrp restore?

Trying to free up some space on my external card and realizing I have no idea what folder the backups are stored in, running clockworkmod based recover v5.5.0.4
never mind, found it, but for some reason every time i back it up, the date is all wrong, just backed up and it is 1970-01-04.06.58.12?
In had this same question, where did you find it?

Check clockwork folder and inside there should be a folder that says backup

Backups on this phone will always have the incorrect date. The recoveries do do not have access to the time.

That's weird, I made a backup with CWM before switching to TWRP and there's nothing in that folder.
Another question, where are the backups stored from TWRP? I can see them while in recovery, but not in any file explorer.

Is it possible to delete the backup blobs in CWM? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, in the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard there is a folder called blobs, erase it and you will get alot of free memory

You won't be able to restore to the backups that those blobs pertained to.

Ahhh! Wait. Deleting the /blobs folder would be very bad, if you wanted to restore backups! See this post by CWM's developer:

Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.

If i deleted the file and now I make backups with twrp will they work or no. Thanks

No. TWRP only works with TWRP and cwm only works with cwm.

No I mean will the backups that I make with twrp still work when I restore them on twrp. Even though I deleted cwm blobs backuo

I don't think the TWRP backups should have anything to do with the blobs folder. (i could be wrong but i don't think i am) And i love your galaxy S3 rom reviews.

When I go to any file manager on my phone the backups do not show up anywhere... They show up when I want to restore a backup when I am booted into recovery. But I would like to delete unwanted backups and I can not do so because they are not showing up when booted into android.

You can delete them in recovery. Or use root browser they appear there for me.

So I'm new to the s3 I successfully rooted and installed cwm. I made a back up of my stock 4.1.2 ROM but when I installed a new ROM my back up went away. On my previous phones in cwm when you wipe data it didn't wipe any backup. Now it did. How can I prevent this from happening and and does anyone please have a 4.1.2 stock t mobile ROM cwm backup!? Would be very much appreciated

What rom did you install? It's probably under /0 folder.

It should be on the root of the internal storage. To prevent this, stick to one version of the os. No one is going to give you their backup/nandroid. Go through the development section, there's a few 4.1.2 stock Roms with root.

It would be under the /0 if op made the backup after flashing and booting up the ROM.

What do you mean stick to one version of os. Does anyone have a backup without logging in to a gmail account. So its completely stock

In my past experience with cwm wiping data always wiped the internal storage.. So one way to prevent it from happening is to make backups to the external sdcard instead of internal.. I don't know how it works now because I've been using twrp for a while now.. And there is stock ROMs in the development section, you can just download one and flash it

Okay I have it some what fixed I found my backups in the ROM manager app. But can't find them through a file manager app. But my back up is in my phone some where but only accessible from ROM manager.

Normally rom backup is secured and will not be wiped
You can download es file explorer and give root permission
Go to /device,- mnt folder - shell folder - you will find cwm folder and in that backup folder containing your all backup
Try it

Hey guys.
My international N7100 after flashing stock rom (4.3) with odin can't register to network. IMEI isn't corrupted - still shows correct one after pushing *#06#
Please help.
Did you ever backup your efs? If not, look for a folder named 'efs' through any root explorer. Not the one you are already having under /efs.
It could be under somewhere of the sdcard. Sometimes during flashing an auto efs backed up. If you found that folder, delete entire contents of the root efs folder and paste contents of the other efs. Have a look now.

I have backup of entire rom and efs.img
Then fine, is your device rooted? If yes then through cwm restore your efs.

Of your device is rooted, you don’t need to root again.

SuperSU says that I have to make manual re-root, should I just ignore it?
Did you root before? Which cwm you are using? If your device was rooted before you flash4.3 then prob is with the efs. Install philz recovery 5.15 then from custom restore, restore the efs from your backup.
That's all.
