[Q] Re-installing nandroid image via toolkit for N7100 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am new custom ROM's. I have used Ubuntu for just under 1.5 years. I need to re-install my back up because the google authenticator app data did not transport over and now I have lost access to my dropbox account (2-step authentication).
Here's what happened.....I have an international note 2 N7100, I had build 4.1.2 JZ054K DLK7
I used the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit to make a nandroid image of the phone's memory and saved this to the C:\SAmsung Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit/backups/back Ups/2013-03-10.05.53
I gained root access and installed super user. I also installed TWRP custom recovery. I downloaded cyanogenmod 10.1 (4.2.2) NIghtly 2013-03-09 and gapps and transferred them to my external SD card and launched those from TWRP. All went well and I am tre impressed. I donated 5 pounds to the toolkit developer.
Now when I try to restore my nandriod back up, I choose build option "04" (the same as I originally chose), restore nandriod back up, then when it asks if I am using a custom ROM with insecure boot image? I say yes to that, it then lists my nandroid back up, which I select. Then I select "copy to internal storage."
Now it just sits on "waiting for adb", I have enabled debugging in developer options.
Any help is appreciated.

Just a quick question: are you sure that you have installed either Kies or the Samsung USB drivers?
EDIT: Try this:
Shift-Right click on the directory with adb.exe.
Select open command window here.
type "adb devices' w/o quotes, press enter.
Does it list any devices?

Can you see phone in my computer?
If yes just copy over the backup to sdcard and restore via cwm or philz.

I have TWRP currently. What directory do the back ups need to be in?

OK I found out the directory format that it needs to be in for TWRP to find the files, but it does not recognise the contents and won't run.
I think I need to flash to a 4.1.x as 4.2.2 has compatibility issues with toolkit.

[Q] Upgrading 2.1 -> 2.2

Hi all, I'm new here and I'm having trouble finding some information.
I have 2 epics, with original software minus some bloatware I deleted via the USB shell. I have contacts which are on the phone (not on google). I'd like to upgrade to 2.2 (probably Syndicate ROM), but I want to make sure my plan is solid before I start.
My plan is:
Install USB drivers from Samsung.
Backup contacts/apps/settings using some backup software. Perhaps Titanium Backup?
Attach phone to PC via USB.
Copy Syndiate to SD card via USB.
Install ClockworkMod using the one click software.
Reboot into CWM.
Select "Install ZIP from SDCard" in CWM
Use backup program to restore apps/contacts/settings.
Is this a good plan? Am I risking my contacts? Is there a simpler way to do this?
Thanks so much!
Update: Having gone through this now, this is a better plan.
Install USB drivers from Samsung.
Backup contacts/apps/settings using Titanium Backup. Batch mode / "backup all use apps + system data"
Export contacts from Contacts app, as this is good to have.
Attach phone to PC via USB.
Copy Syndiate to SD card via USB.
Install ClockworkMod using the one click software.
Use Odin to flash EC05 modem (per Syndicate instructions). This is a "phone" flash, not "PDA".
Reboot into CWM.
Select "Install ZIP from SDCard" in CWM
Reboot into Syndicate
Sign into Market
Use adb to copy additional stock apps from Syndicate stock apps such as alarm, memo.
Use TB to restore apps/contacts/settings.

Your plan is sound but you need to be rooted to run Titanium so you will need to root first. You can use Mybackup Pro for 30 days without root.

New Galaxy Nexus Unlock/root/mod/restore

Hi all, I know there are separate threads for all of this but I'd really appreciate if someone could just clarify if I'm doing this correctly. I've just ordered a new uk Gnex (wahey), and am in the process of backing up my apps (titanium backup) and copying my SDcard contents onto my PC, for when the Gnex comes. This is my game plan:
1) Use gnex toolkit to unlock bootloader, root and flash CWM
2) Flash rom of choice (cm9 nightly)
3) Flash gapps
4) Flash kernel
5) Copy old sdcard contents (pics, songs, titanium backup folder etc) from my Nexus one into the /data/media folder.
6) install titanium backup and restore apps and data (not system)
7) Sync all contacts etc
8) ???
9) Profit
Am I missing any steps here? Thanks in advance.

The only thing I would add is to make sure you know how to use fastboot to recover in case you need it, while the gnex toolkit is nice I think it is a must to make sure you have the fastboot drivers working from a command prompt in case you need it.

Well I used fastboot to unlock by nexus one and root it and flash radios...Only the basics however. Hopefully that's enough

Be sure that you have the same version of ICS running before restore. Data of contacts can be stored differently. I had that problem coming from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2, causing a bootloop. Contacts can better be synchronized through your Google account.

I would do it all manually, not using the Toolkit so you undertsand how the phone works and what you're doing.
Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM, flash SU, erase the file which causes the recovery to be overwritten, flash CWM again, backup, enjoy.

Are there any advantages to doing it manually rather than the toolkit. I feel comfortable knowing what's happening in the background, just thought the toolkit would be easier than doing it manually?
rooted yesterday, included the links I used.
I've rooted a Droid X2 by hand before, which was fun, but I didn't feel like doing it all manually again. What's important is that you learn the inner workings of the OS, especially the general workflow of the bootstrap process.
I rooted my gnex-toro yesterday, using the GNex Toolkit by mskip. I did this after reading several step-by-step walkthroughs of the process. mskip's tool works quickly and efficiently. Once I had the ClockWorkMod Recovery installed, I was able to replace 4.0.2 with das7892's build of 4.0.4 IMM76D. I then replaced Verizon's Radio APKs with the versions from the leaked 4.0.4 IMM30B. It runs so well now. I'm getting about double the battery life, and strong signal all around. Also, das7892 introduced me to the Apex Launcher, which is pretty awesome.

Why cant i restore from backup in CWM ?

Ever since i installed Android 4.2, this whole emulated storage thing is a mess. I have some backups, and i am trying to restore from them in CWM touch. When i go to restore, it always says "cant open directory/cant find files" or something of the sort. I have verfieid that the files are in the 0 storage.
Its frustrating. Does anyone know of a way to restore from a cwm backup ? It would be much appreciated ! I have the latest CWM touch by the way.
Thanks !
Did you update your cwm recovery to one that supports the new 4.2 sdcard layout?

This is a problem with flashing 4.2. TWRP has a fix for the issue you are talking about, but right now the fix for you can be found in this post, or others like it. This is how I fixed my problem!

I flashed this build and later tried to go back and do a restore on my CWM backup. When I attempted the restore it couldn't find any backups! I found the problem to be that it moves the sdcard contents to /data/media/0 then mounts /sdcard/ to /data/media/0. Clockwork mounts the folder /data/media and is searching for the backups in that directory. It fails to find it because it is not there. To fix this I made a backup of my sdcard by doing an adb pull then moved the clockwork folder in the /data/media/0 to /data/media/. so the commands that I executed are as follows:
adb shell <enter>
su <enter>
cp /data/media/0/clockworkmod /data/media/clockworkmod <enter> (you could also replace the cp command with mv. This will keep from creating a duplicate of your backups - suggested by tiny4579)
reboot recovery <enter>
go through the process of restoring a clockworkmod recovery and when it is finished reboot into your restored backup. If you explore the sdcard with root explorer or adb you will notice the 0 folder inside your sdcard.
I suggest you dont try this if you are unfamiliar with the command line. Has anyone else experienced this issue and have a better fix?

If there is way to point CWM to the proper directory, is there a way ? Can i restore via ADB ?
I have all the CWM files to restore from, just cant due to the location of the files i guess. Does CWM default to the 0 ?

I actually ended up resetting the whole device, and actually was able to restore by using the MD5 mismatch fix. I have reinstalled CWM and everything.
i am currently running cm10.0.0 and completely satisfied with it. just for curiosity reasons i would love to flash 4.2 to see how it feels. my problem now is, can i simply return to cm (4.1) by reflashing my cwm backup?
as with 4.2 the file-system was changed (sdcard0), is that pretty easy with cwm recovery, or do i have to invest an hour of work with adb pulls and pushes?
thanks for your experiences!

[Q] Why cant I restore my Nandroid Backup from CWM?

Hi all,
I have had my Note II for a day now and I love it but I seem to have an issue. I rooted and installed CWM 6.0.1.5 (modified version by Phil I believe) using Odin and I of course made a backup of my stock rooted ROM before I started flashing anything but when I tried to restore my Nand it says that it cant find the files and cant open the location. The CWM backup file IS there cause I can see it when I plug my phone into my computer but it wont restore and yes... I've tried EVERY restore option there is in CWM - Restore, Advanced Restore, Restore from External, Advanced Restore from External, so on and so on...
Can anyone tell my why I cant restore my Nandroid? This concerns me as well should I ever need to restore my backed up EFS as again, it just wont restore anything from CWM.
Anyone else with this issue or know what to do about it?
Also,
When I choose to flash anything from Internal SD it is now taking me to a list that shows /0, /obb and /legacy (or something like that) and then I have to choose /0 in order to gain access to my actual Internal files.
I actually have 2 of these sets of folders some how after flashing so now when I try and flash from Internal SD I have to choose /0 AND THEN ANOTHER /0 to access the internal card from CWM. This is quite weird and annoying to say the least. This behavior is also shown when searching my device using ANY file explorer and when I connect my phone to my computer as well - IE. I have all of these extra folders showing.
Can ANYONE explain why this is happening and how to avoid it if at all possible? Is this just something new in 4.2? I am currently running Jellybam 3.52 - 4.2.1 ROM.
Thanks,
Is your Nandroid backup from CWM or TWRP?
I've seen articles regarding the backup function of CWM, the backup files have to be in the following path on either the Internal or External SD Card. I'll use the below path as an example for an external SD card.
externalsdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[What ever you want the backup to be]
When you use the restore function from CWM and navigate to Restore from External/Internal SD Card. It should come up with the name of the folder you chose in [What ever you want the backup to be] and be able to restore your Nandroid backup.

My Nand is in CWM. I dont use TWRP.
As I said... My backup is on my internal sd card in the exact same format as you described but when I go to CWM and try to restore it first says "cannot open directory" and then immediately says "no files found"
Ive been using CWM since my original SGS and I have never seen this happen before. I can see it in my File Explorer, I can see it on my computer when I plug in the device but I cant get CWM to find the file to restore it.
Im about as confused as it gets...
Im testing something right now... I am making a new backup of my Jellybeer ROM to my External SD card to see what happens. IF it will find the files after its done I will advise but I still dont get why it wont restore from my internal card...?
*EDIT* So it seems to have backed up to the ext. sd card and I can see this file when I choose to restore from ext. sd but... it was the FASTEST backup Ive ever seen. It literally took like 45 seconds if that so I hope its a full back up!
IF my memory serves me correctly... When I backed up my stock ROM (my initial back up), I checked for the restore when it was done and it was there but then I flashed Hyperdroid and then I flashed PACman and then tried to restore my original Nand and it wouldn't let me so I wonder if I flash something else (which i don't want to do right now cause Jellybeer is serving me well at the moment) am I going to lose the ability to flash my Nand again?

Thanks for the reply but... What would cause this to happen? Did you read my post where I backed up to my external sd card? Like I said... The backup literally only took like 45 seconds to complete which is weird unto itself.
What will flashing a stock ROM do to fix this? And when you say "stock" do you mean like "stock - unrooted"?

With regard to the /0 file issue - Yes... I am running a 4.2.+ CM10.1 based ROM so I understand that it creates those /0 files but it just keeps on creating them after flashing anything new!!!
Your issue is related to the new JB 4.2 and multi-user feature. CWM cannot find backups since they are moved to a different folder
The day you need your backup, just install a JB 4.1.2, move your /0 folder to root of sdcard and run your nandroid

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the reply my friend! So...you're saying that IF and when I need to restore my nand that I will have to install a 4.1.2 ROM first and then follow your instructions to move the /0 folder to the root of my sd card (i assume by using a file explorer of some kind in the 4.1.2 ROM itself?) and then flash my nand? Is that correct? Should I keep just any old 4.1.2 ROM on my device at all times for this purpose?
If so then what if I have multiple /0 files created as I do now? Currently I have 2 /0 folders and this seems to grow as I flash anything new. Do I then move ALL of the /0 folders to the root of my sd card before I can restore my nandroid backup?
Also... Why was I not able to restore from my external sd card using the option in your recovery either? I made a simple backup of my current 4.2.+ ROM to my external card and when I tried to restore it last night to test it said MD5 mismatch. Is this related to the 4.2 ROM issue as well?

Flash CWM with odin and then go into mounts? Firstly, what version of CWM are you saying to flash and then I assume you mean once thats done that I should then boot into recovery and then go into mounts? And then wipe caches, format system?

What I did was... I flashed v6.0.2.7 via ODIN (which has 4.2.+ ROM support) and I am now FINALLY able to restore my Nand back ups!!! The only thing now is that I apparently have 3 /0 folders on my device and I REALLY just want to know how to get rid of the extra folders and to know how to keep them from being created altogether!!!
I have one that has ALL of the original .zip files, gapps, etc that I installed on my device, then I have one that has an efs backup on it somehow and has a couple of application folders in it and then I have one that is like stock.
Why are these being created and how can I get rid of them? This is driving me CRAZY!!!
I had the same issue this morning.
I fixed it by installing the aroma file manager addon in Phil's CWM recovery and using aroma to copy the clockworkmod folder out of the /0 folder and back to the root of the sd card.
Then when I went into backup and restore the backup was visible again.
Once you have a rom installed you shoudl just be able to plug in via usb and just browse the sd card on your computer to move everything back out of the /0 folder

You can install nandroid manager from playstore and you can fix nandroid md5 mismatch there or you can use terminal emulator to generate new md5 file in your nandroid (google it because i cant remember the command)

[Q] Can't restore from CWM

Yesterday i decided to flash an aosp rom called PACMAN (4.2.2) on my GT N7105 Note 2. I made an nandroid backup of my current rom (wanamlite 4.1.2) and all my apps via titanium backup. I didn't like the new rom so I decided to restore my old one. Now here is where it gets tricky. I went to recovery and pressed restore and it says "No files found" or similar, I checked my SD card where it said "MD5 missmatch". When I looked at my sotrage i saw my entire backup in "0" folder, but how can i access it? The restore doesn't work and I don't wanna lose all my data when I can see it's there.
Would be great if someone has a solution.
Thank you
Did you keep a backup of Cwm backup on pc? If not then you need to download aroma file manager. Via that just move the whole twrp folder to data/media. Not any folder inside it. Then reboot recovery.
this is XXXDDDAAA

Yesterday i decided to flash an aosp rom called PACMAN (4.2.2) on my GT N7105 Note 2. I made an nandroid backup of my current rom (wanamlite 4.1.2) and all my apps via titanium backup. I didn't like the new rom so I decided to restore my old one. Now here is where it gets tricky. I went to recovery and pressed restore and it says "No files found" or similar, I checked my SD card where it said "MD5 missmatch". When I looked at my sotrage i saw my entire backup in "0" folder, but how can i access it? The restore doesn't work and I don't wanna lose all my data when I can see it's there.
Would be great if someone has a solution.
Thank you

I also experienced this issue..it's only with 4.2.2 roms and cwm related imo.
Just install root browser light and move you backup from folder "0"to original cwm folder.
