I've looked everywhere but I can't find the answer to this. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 sgh 1747 on 4.1.1, I rooted it with odin. After I rooted it I backed up with Titanium backup and then I backed up with clockworkmod recovery. After all this I installed cyanogenmod 10.1 so it is now on 4.2.2. but when go went to titanium backup it says I have no backups so I went to clockworkmod to restore to my backup but I get an
MD5 mismatch error everytime. I have found how to fix the error but I cant find where the backups are saved. I have looked in clockworkmod/backup in my extsd and internal, and I looked in data/media/clockworkmod/backup but it wasn't there. I have also looked in almost every folder on my phone. So my question is, where are my clockworkmod backups?
What gave you the MD5 mismatch? Do you have any CWM backups at all?

After installing CM10.1, did you check your internal storage for the emulated "0" folder? I've read that this happens when going from stock to CM based ROMs. Maybe thats why TiBu can't find your backups.
If ^^ don't work, try DiskUsage in the Play Store. If they're full backups, they should occupy quite a lot of size.

I know that CWM 6.0.1.5 uses blobs folder to store the data, but for some reason it doesn't restore any of the data. it gives me an error saying it can't find data.img when trying to restore. any help would be appreciated!
I haven't tried 6.0.1.5, but on 6.0.1.4 I had similar problems when I had dedup format backups from multiple custom ROMs.
After a point backups refused to be restored in peace. So I changed backup format in the CWM Backup/Restore menu and started keeping tar format backups every now and then to make sure there was some reliable emergency backup.
Sorry that this will not help with your current backup restoration though!
Is this only meant for Nexus 4 ? Or can we flash it for Galaxy Nexus as well ? Reason I ask is because on CWM's official site, it only shows "6.0.1.5" for Galaxy Nexus. I'd like some confirmation before i make the plunge to the latest version.
Thanks.
6.0.1.9 is unofficial and is in the Dev forum, 6.0.1.5 is the current version for the Galaxy Nexus
I updated from CM 10 to 10.1, I booed into clockwork recovery and backed up my current ROM, then formatted data/system and flashed 10.1 and gapps.
I rebooted and logged into my account to download titanium backup, but nothing is there to restore!
Help!

Titanium Backup's backups are different from CWM's nandroid backups. TiBu's backups are per-app. CWM nandroids are basically images of the entire phone. You could nandroid CM10.1, restore your CM10 nandroid from CWM, back up its apps and data using Titanium, restore your CM10.1 nandroid, and restore your Titanium backup.
Also, I'm not 100% sure about this, but Titanium Backup may have the capability of extracting apps and data from CWM nandroids.
Oh no! The sdcard partition was formatted! ****
Are you sure? If you're using an older version of CWM it will make a folder called "0" on the SD. All your stuff will be in there
I'm so mad

Has it formatted or done what I said it might have done?
Everything is gone, I didn't realize that in clockwork recovery that 'format data/factory reset' touched the sdcard partition
Ugh

It shouldn't, or at least in other recoveries like TWRP it doesn't

Then I have no idea what happened. I watched the log and it formatted /sdcard/.secure but that was it
I loaded up ROM Manager to see if there were any backups to restore to, and there was one from 12/26! So I guess the sdcard partition wasn't formatted? What's going on here?

Yes, but I used ES File Explorer (as root) and I couln't see anything.. Ugh.. I dunno, I didn't lose anything though! Thanks
First of all I am a novice when it comes to this sort of thing. I was running Paradigm 2.3.5. Created a clockworkmod backup using version 5.0.x.x (can't remember the exact version). I then wiped data, wiped cache, installed Paradigm 3.1, installed gapps, and booted. Well I decided I wasn't ready to re do everything I have done to my phone and I wanted to go back to my previous backup. I restarted into recovery, but when I attempted a recovery I get no files found. The files are still there if I look through a usb connection. I understand this has something to do with the /0 folder and moving from 4.1 to 4.2 android. I'm not sure what to do here I just want to restore my phone to before all of this mess. I also understand there are other topics on this issue, and I have been looking through them for hours now, but I can't seem to get anything to work. Please help.
Edit: I was able to download a file manager and transfer the clockwork backups into the correct clockwork folder and then restore to my previous rom. I still would like to know if it is possible to flash a new rom without losing all of your files and apps.

You shouldn't lose your files if you wipe unless you wipe sdcard (in a custom recovery). You can save data and apps with titaniumbackup.

Yes I never lost any files they were still on my sdcard, but there was an sdcard\ and an sdcard\0 with duplicate folder except one of the duplicates were empty. So your saying if I do a back up with titaniumbackup then flash a new rom that uses android 4.2.2 or 4.3 I can then restore with titaniumbackup and have all my old data and apps on the new rom?
Do a search on the GNEX Development forum for the current version of CWM. 6.0.4.0 was just posted earlier today.

Sorry to be so annoying with this, and I really appreciate everyones help. To clarify, I just installed CWM 6.0.4.0. If I now make a backup with CWM, clear files/factory reset, clear cache, and flash latest rom, I can then boot and it will be like nothing changed as far as my app configurations and data goes? If not, is there a way to do that? Will titan do that for me?

Think of CWM as an image bu of your phone. If something messes up when you flash that latest rom, you can restore the bu and all will be back to the way it was pre-flash. TiBU will backup your apps and data, so after you do a clean flash you can restore them. My personal preference for a clean flash is to let the Play Store restore my apps, then use TiBU to restore the data for my user apps. I've found TiBU to be a bit of a crap shoot when it comes to system apps. There's always a bit of work involved with a clean flash, but it's not too much and will usually save some headaches.

Well this weekend I decided to flash CM 10.2. I backed up to titanium, I backed up to cwm latest version, factory reset, flashed CM 10,2, flashed gapps, booted, play store repopulated my apps. Open titanium backup "no backups found", tell it to detect the backup folder on whole device, no backups found. So I just ran my cwm restore and when I boot I get a whole new error. When I try to browse my files with astro file browser I get "cannot downgrade database from 2 to 1". What is wrong now?
Edit:
I just tried to do another cwm backup because I was going to move around some files through usb, it took forever and then in the end failed because the boot image was messed up. It said something about free space so I deleted all but the most recent cwm backup and then the backup that failed before was able to finish. After doing that I booted again and I was able to browse my files with astro again. So that isn't an issue anymore, but there has got to be something wrong with my file structure that this keeps happening.
I have two 0 folders, is that normal. From root I have storage\sdcard0\0\0 and that contains my data from before I started any of this flashing from 4.1. storage\sdcard0\0 has duplicate folders of storage\sdcard0\0\0 but they are empty. There is also a folder called sdcard in the root folder. So obviously there is a huge mess here. Is there a tool I can run to clean it up, or can someone tell me how the file structure is supposed to be so I can just move things back the the way it should be.
Edit 2:
I ended up copying the files in the deepest 0 folders out to the 0 folder above them then removing the deepest 0 folder. I now have sdcard\0 which only has a clockworkmod folder with a recovery file in it, and storage\sdcard0\0 which when I go into the 0 folder I get routed to sdcard\0. Everything seems to be working fine still. I'm thinking about just combining the sdcard0 with the sdcard and removing the sdcard0 since I'm currently on android 4.1. Then with everything cleaned up I might give it another go.
I have backed up my ROMs... Working from CWM it finds the backups, but in recovery mode, it can't find them (restore). Ideas??
even it is stored in sd card1..it says no backup found.
any ideas?
I want to restore my stock (which i already backup) via cwm..
right now im on cm11
Hello everyone,
I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, and installed CWM 6.0.2 I believe (summer 2012). I was using 4.3 Deodexed ROM and decided to upgrade to 4.4, so I mad a nandroid backup through CWM. Then I found out that 4.4 required me to update my CWM to 6.0.4.3, so I did. After upgrading CWM, I was unable to restore my old 6.0.2 backup. Is there any way to restore it, or do I have to downgrade CWM?
If I need to downgrade CWM, can I first perform a backup of my current 4.4 ROM and then downgrade, or is there a chance it will mess with old CWM?
Thanks in advance,
silentz0r
Sorry for bumping, I have noticed that after upgrading CWM, it made new directories into /sdcard and moved my old directories into /sdcard/0. I tried copying the contents of the old CWM directory into the new one (/blobs and /backup) and tried to restore, but still got the same error message notifying me that no backup is found. Is there no way to restore an old CWM backup with newer CWM?
If anyone ever has this problem, I suggest installing ROM Manager. My backups spontaneously started working through ROM Manager (even in CWM recovery). I have no idea why the backup could not be found before, but using this pretty much fixed itself. Marked as Solved.

Thanks for the heads up!
But shouldn't you just have made a back-up before CWM upgrade, then upgrade CWM, make another backup (just in case) and then install 4.4?
I am still on 4.3 and I will do it this way in the near future.
