you need to flash cwm recovery first and do a full wipe. I think the backup folder is clockworkmod/backup/"date". I find it easier to just wipe then do a backup, even though is nothing on your phone, and this will give you the file structure you need. then go to the "backup/date" folder and delete the contents and replace them with your saved backup and flash it. and dont forget to flash the boot.img from your backup too

i did a backup on nandroid AND rom manager, but i heard its the same, but my question is, say i didnt do a nadroid backup, and only a rom manager backup, how would i access the one from rom manager and restore that one if something went wrong with the os?
Assuming you could still boot into your ClockworkMod recovery (power + volume down) the backup would be on a folder in your SD card, and CWM would find it automatically. You could do a full data wipe and still recovery using the backup files, they don't reside on the phone's internal memory. And, yes, they are the same thing.
so i can delete my nandroid backup?
ROM Manager performs a nandroid backup through recovery.

It just adds the new backup. You have to manually delete the older nandroid backups if you want them gone.
I've had CWM for quite a while now and I have my nandroid backup of my stock rom on it. If I switch to TWRP, will the backup still be there? Also, if it is, will the backup be compatible and able to restore using TWRP? Thanks.
no
So should I just stick with CWM or is there anything I can do that can keep my backup if I switch to TWRP?
Just keep a copy of the cwm recovery. You can always reinstall it if you need to flash your stock backup.
Hi all,
I have stock ics nandroid, I am going to reflash this so, i can install the offical JB on my HOX CID__001. My question though, do i just flash the nandroid from the custom recovery or will i also have to copy the boot.img to my pc and flash this also, or is this not needed when just restoring nandroid. Currently running Maximus JB, but want the offical JB for nandroid.
You need to flash boot.img also. Fild it at sdcard /clockworkmod/backups/backupname/boot.img
can we download that boot.img from internet or it already in the sd card. is it different ?

If you look into the nandroid backup folder you see the boot.img in there, it belongs to the nandroid backup. So of you want to restore the nandroid you also have to flash that particular boot.img !
i just wanted to know since a nandroid backup backs up the boot.img of a rom as well as the data, could i make different "stock" backups of roms and just format the system and factory reset and restore roms from backups? like say i back up pacman rom, then go to stock. can i just reflash pacman without the boot.img (say i dont have a computer) and restore the backup? would that make the boot.img work? cause if so i could have one backup of each rom on my 16gb sd card and just reflash when i need it. thanks guys

Which recovery are you on and are you primoc or primou?..... I don't think the recovery will actually backup the boot.img even though it says it does... someone else might be able to answer better though
Sorry forgot that but I'm primoc with twrp 2 recovery on Pac man 19.3

Hi all,
I need to recover some information from my phone from before I flashed a new ROM, and wondering what's the easiest way about it based on the scenario given below;
I was running a rooted stock ROM (LB) with TWRP. I used titanium to batch backup my apps ( but seem to have overlooked my notepad app which had info in it that I now need.)
I installed resurrection remix which comes with CWM so can't just do a new nandroid, then restore the old one to get the info, then re-restore the newer backup.
Is there a way to extract the info direct from my twrp backup on my SD/ laptop or do I need to/is it possible to flash TWRP to replace CWM and keep the rest of the ROM as-is?
TIA
If you are just recovering a file, and not restoring the backup itself, try using nandroid manager. I can extract a file from my nandroid backup (created by cwm). I never tried it with twrp nandroid backup though.
Other option is to try to flash the Dual Recovery on your phone.
Then you have TWRP and CWM on your phone.
