Anyone know of any tools that can open a nandroid I made on cwm 6? I lost a db of a program and have an old nandroid, but can't seem to find a program that will explore a backup image made with cwm6 that runs on a PC. There's a nandroid browser on the play store but only works on cwm <6
Titanium Backup should be able to extract from both TWRP and CWM nandroids.
Not sure if the free version does, but the paid one will.

PAID VERSION IS THE MOST USEFUL APP ON MARKET!
Now that i got that out of the way...
Am I correct in my assumption that the "create update.zip" function on TB will create a zip that i can flash in amon ra and restore all of my apps from recovery and not have to boot download tb and then restore ?
No, the update.zip just flashes TB so you don't have to download it.
You still have to manually restore apps.
And I agree, it's the best purchase I've made from the market... aside from Root Explorer

Your settings for Titanium Backup are stored on your SD card, so when you switch roms they're automatically recognized.

I never bought root explorer, I like es file manager cuz it gives the same permissions.
I'm just the opposite. I like Root Explorer over File Manager, which reminds me to much of Astro.
As for TB, only backup and restore the apps/data that you installed, not your system and on board Google stuff.
How can I backup a whole system from one XPlay (all apps, data, call logs, sms, etc) to another XPlay? I'm buying a 4G version and I am currently using the 3G version...
Make a Nandroid backup in Clockworkmod
And restore it with CWM in the destination phone.
You mean, the Clockworkmod ROM Manager?

No, Clockworkmod recovery
Thanks.... and does the destination phone have to have the same ROM? What if the old ROM had Gingerbread and the new one, ICS?
They must have the same kernel
Hands down (a little bit more n00b-friendly):
Make sure both devices have same kernel and clockwork recovery, backup everything in one, grab the folder with the backup images from sdcard/clockworkmod (or something)/backups/, send it to the second device to the same location n sdcard and restore everything, that's it.
Is Titanium backup good enough?

If you don't want to keep the same ROM, mods, and other stuff that doesn't come with stock, then yes it definitely is. I really recommend the PRO version for batch restore.

you can also use MyBackup Root/Pro, but you need to root your play first..

Hey all,
I'm wondering how to read / extract a filename.ext4.win file?
Using Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit, i recently flashed AOKP's JB build 2 to my Gnex, and wiped my phone in the process (intentionally).
The phone works great with the new ROM and all. but I forgot that my data folder also got wiped, and with it all my savegames for various apps.
Before flashing I used the tool to make a nandroid ("Nandroid backup /w Custom Recovery"), and I'm guessing I can find the files I need in that backup. The tool saved the backup as [data/cache/system/recovery].ext4.win files.
I have tried using ext2explore to read the data file, but it doesn't show anything.
TL;DR
How can I read a ext4.win file in Windows?
i thought backups were saved in *.tar.

I don't know how it's usually done, but this tool saves it in 4 "ext4.win" files and a "recovery.emmc.win" file.

As it says in OP: yes I used the toolkit (Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit) to make a nandroid, because it makes it easier (for me) to backup, wipe and flash with a single click.
The toolkit's thread is in a dev section, which I'm not allowed to post in due my "noob" status on these forums.
So that was very helpful, thanks.
I tried Linux Reader you linked to, but still no luck.
I says that the filesystem is not supported.
Twrp also saves nandroids in this extension.
Op: use titanium backup to load up the nandroid (menu -> extract from nandroid backup).

Ah Team Win - that's right, it's what the toolkit uses for backups. Thanks.
I had to get the paid version of TB to use the extraction, extracted only data and it worked to some extend. Some of my games got their savegames restored, but e.g. TinyStation did not - Which is the game I'm most eager to restore the savegames to. I also tried to extract app+data for this one, but it didn't work.
But thanks a lot geoff! =)
Not all games work with backup programs. Which really sucks. But tb is a GREAT app to have, especially the purchased version.
BTW, was it a different ROM you flashed or was it an updated ROM you flashed? If it WS an update, you might be able to restore your nandroid and then flash the update.

Sucky. I emailed the developer asking where the savegames are stored, so let's see if they'll be able to help.
Yea, TB is great - definitely my backup app from now on.
It was an updated ROM. I flashed from Kang's JB build 1 to build 2.
But yea, restoring the nandroid and flashing without wiping is the next step, but it ****ed my phone last time, so I was hoping to avoid messing around with it again.
Actually I might just have realized why it didn't work the first time. =)
I'll give then app dev 'till tomorrow, and then I'll restore and reflash.
Thanks again, geoff.

Could you restore the nandroid? I made a backup using Wugfresh tool and now I can't restore the files. The files are like yours, not disc image. I hope you can help me restore the backup. Thanks.
I flashed the Eclipse 2.1 ToroPlus ROM last night coming from a stock AOSP 4.2....did the usual Titanium Backup before the flash.
Did the factory reset 3 times as well as format system 3 times like I do EVERY time I change ROMs (using latest TWRP)...
However once I booted this ROM everything (folders) was gone...like when you revert to factory with ODIN...just the basic files were in my root...
I never had this happen before...
the problem with this is I was using "Safe Notes" to keep ALOT of Admin info/passwords for numerous websites I do the upkeep on, as well as some bank info, money owed to me by others, etc....
Now, I DO have a bunch of CWM nandroids from previous backups...is there any way to go into one of these nandroids and extract the files for "Safe Notes" from a Titanium Backup "backup zip" to slip into the directory for the app?
I've done it before with a SafeNotes backup I made but that's long gone now...
I have backups of all the WidgetLocker, UCCW, music, etc. but I NEED NEED NEED to get the Safe Notes info back...
Like I said I've never had this happen before except for when I intentionally wipe everything via ODIN when returning to factory condition...I wasn't expecting it...
Also, what could cause this problem??
Was it because I came from 4.2 back to 4.1.2??
When I booted up after installing the new ROM I went to re-install my apps through Titanium Backup but they weren't there...perhaps that had something to do with the gapps package?
I thought that might be the case so I installed the 4.2 gapps package and still nothing in TB....
perhaps install CWM and restore one of the latest nandroids to recover the Safe Notes file/info?
if I could extract it from a ZIP from inside one of the TB/nandroid backups that would be sweet...but if restoring a nandroid is the ONLY option I guess I'll have to do that...
I *REALLY* need the info on that Safe Notes file...hope someone can help...
This is a great question, I lost my notes somehow with TWRP trying to upgrade to BAKED blackbean 7 on my Galaxy S3. Have you found a solution yet?
Titanium backup can restore apps and data from backups. Hit menu (3 dots) go to extract from nandroid backup. Hopefully it will have it. Some apps store information in other places and when that is the case it's lost. Should do the trick though

If you have a nandroid backup and root you should be able to use TiBu or Nandroid Manager to restore your app data.

I have both, but when I try to restore data for the app, SafeNotes then has what appears to be an empty data. I'm not sure if the database was stored somewhere else. I made a nandroid but lost my SafeNotes data after ODIN. I have tried to look around (mostly in the data folder) for a file I can use with SafeNotes' restore database option, but nothing seems to work :/.
Hi guys
Maybe I'm a moron for not being able to find the answer to this but here goes:
I can see that with ROM Manager my backups are stored in a "safe" location out of reach no matter which file manager I'm using. And then with ROM Manager Premium it's possible to transfer these backup to your PC. But how do I get a backup transferred back to my phone if I need that? I haven't been able to find any information about how to do that.
So before I invest in RM Premium can anyone tell me if this is possible?
"Backups can be pulled using adb or by using ROM Manager Backup Download Sever." To use the sever method go to ROM Manager -> Manage and Restore Backups -> Download Backups It should start a server and show a link you put into your computer browser which will download the backups

Yes as I understand it that's Phone -> PC. But what about the other way?
I've just reinstalled it to have a look at the options. I've never used it for at least a year.
From what I understand now (I didn't want to flash cwm) when you store them on a PC they're on a .zip format. To restore you just copy it back to your internal storage/sdcard then use the backup/restore option.
Personally I wouldn't buy the premium. I did long ago but it's outdated and rarely updated.
Best option for backing up is Titanium Backup Pro. Constantly updated and responsive devs.
There are loads of free options. You can even use something like obackup to perform online nandroid backups or just even use recovery and perform a nandroid.
