Hi I Have CWM recovery installed and want to trnsfer my nandroid recovery to my pc so I can l8r restore from it. I can see it in my root browser. it's in /data/media/cwm/recovery but when i get on pc--> I can't seem to find that folder... This is HTC One AT&T with CWM.Can anyone please tell me how to tranfer the file?
Look for sdcard/cwm/ or something like that. Comps read it a bit different. Data/media/ is technically a root folder of sorts, so you can't access that through a computer.
Also for future reference, post in the at&t forums as they may be more help for your issues than the Verizon forum.
Also, don't double post. Its against the rules.

Cwm stores backups in the directory the OP stated.
In order to copy it to the PC, you'll need a root enabled file explorer, such as ES file explorer.
Make sure root access is enabled in the apps settings.
Then copy the backup files to a folder on the SD card using the app.
Once copied to the SD card, you can then access it from your PC.

I am trying to see if there exist a program for nandroid that allows you to navigate through and delete nandroid backups and such.
Root explorer?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I dont know about an app that can do that but you can always plug your phone into a computer and manage the "nandroid" file on the SD card that way..
EDIT: If you've made the backups with ClockworkMod then you can manage them inside ROM manager...
The only way to do this from recovery, is to select the USB-MS toggle feature and delete the files from your SDCard folder under nandroid.
A nandroid is only a folder in a directory. So use what ever method you prefer to use when dealing with folders.
If you're asking maybe you should consider archiving them on a computer rather than deleting?
answer to the OP, yes its called a file browser.
estrongs, astro, root watever one u want to use.
Thank you
Now I feel ridiculous that I didn't know that. Oh well, I guess you never stop learning....
Once again, thank you all.
how do I delete nandroid backups for an evo 4g?
I delete mine by using a file manager then go to the nandroid folder and delete the old nandroids also I backup ALL my nandroids on my pc then delete them

Go into nandroid folder then into the next folder H something, in that folder will be all your nands named by date. Just delete which ever ones you don't need either via some root explorer app or Pc usb.

I have just recently rooted my intl' S3. I also did a nandroid backup to the phone twice and its taking up quite a bit of space. I have tried to locate the nandroid folder from what you posted and cannot find the nandroid folder. I am using astro folder right now but maybe switching to my file app later if this does not work. thanks in advance!

The folder should be named whatever recovery you are using. If you're using ClockworkMod, it may say 'clockworkmod' or 'cwm'. If you're using TWRP recovery, it should say 'twrp'. The backup files will be in that folder.

Fln is correct, in that it'll be named whatever recovery you're using. Probably cwm, listed under clockworkmod, unless you explicitly changed to twrp. Just make sure you look on the device sdcard for the backups.

I have looked into these folders and found nothing. I have used File manager and Astro File with no luck finding this folder. I went back into the Samsung tool kit to see if it will allow me to delete those files on the phone put no luck there either. thanks again for your assistance.

thanks but I still cannot find the back up. I have used the samsung tool kit to create the nandroid back ups but now I dont know how to find it to delete. in the toolkit it does not provide an option to delete back ups from the phone unless I maybe misunderstanding the option available. i have installed rom manager and there i can create nandroid backups by going into the recovery page. I cannot flash roms because of the space limitations. I want to delete these back ups on the phone and just leave it on the computer so that i can start flashing roms thru rom manager.
I do not have an external SD card because its still in the mail. Thanks for all your help!

I just went into the CWM recovery mode and located the 2 nandroid backups I created but still could not delete any of them. All my file explorers does not have any nandroid folders and the CWM folder is still empty. Am I missing a particular setting that is not allowing me to see the backups?

What file explorer are you using? I prefer es file explorer [free], make sure you set the root settings to r/w, for giggles. It should be listed as internal sd card or sdcard01, probably the prior; I forget what its called on tw. Just verify for clockworkmod folder, and should list your device id, and the backups inside.

You are the MAN teh roxxorz, adjusted the root settings for es file explorer and was able to free up 4gb of space (nandroid BU) Thank you so much! Now I do not have to unroot, do a factory wipe just to delete excess backups!!

Have you enabled mass storage? Then search for the files on your Sd card and transfer them.

Is it possible to create a backup of the boot.img and system.img without rooting or unlocking the bootloader?
The phone is a One X Tegra 3
I have a slightly dead phone and access to a new one x but I cant do anything like unlocking the bootloader on the new one as it isnt mine.
Thanks in advance

root needed so no , dont know if fastboot has a option to dump but guesing no already
You can.backup all your system files, but would need root to copy it to another phone. But why the system partition? That is the same for all one x on the same software. Use any backup app to backup apps and stuff, And to backup app data, copy everything from /data/data into any folder on ur sdcard. Then you can copy this on a rooted one x and get ur game data back use ES file explorer. And in settings, check 'up to root', that will give you access to the data partition, hope this helps

You can copy entire system partition to your sd card without any root. Just use root explorer (you don't need root to run it) and copy content of /system folder (app, bin, customize, framework, etc.) into your sd card.
what's with using diskdump...?
copying to sdcard kills owners/groups; dd will take care of them. or use zip / tar function in root explorer.

You put all symlinks and permissions in updater-script if he is using Windows then symlinks and owners/groups will be gone anyway.
But I agree that dd is much better solution
You can use "adb pull system"
Hello,
I wanted to change my kernel today, back to stock, so I tried to recover a previous backup I had from clockworkmod. But when I tried to recover it said "Md5 mismatch". So I went to Youtube to figure out why this was, I followed the instructions but there is no file path for my backups. I tried all of the different file paths "/data" that was empty, "/mnt/shell/" and that was empty as well, as well as a few other file paths. I eventually gave up looking for the backup and decided to erase the backup I made. But when I tried to delete it it said "There was an error renaming your backup. Please choose a unique and valid file name for your backup." I tried renaming it something else but it still says the same thing. Anyone know what I can do here, I just want this file off of my phone. Any help would be much appreciated!
Extra info. When I made the backup I decided to rename it as "5-14(Before custom kernel) but when I got the prompt to change name, I tried changing it to a valid name. Now the name is stuck?
I've also included some pictures to help understand my situation.

I renamed the folder on my PC and it worked fine. But nothing changed. I looked in ES file explorer and folder name is still "download" and wont change
May be some problem with rom manager.Try renaming using "root explorer". If you want to get your stock kernal you can flash it using kernal flasher.
Sent from my GT-S6102 using xda app-developers app
rename the folder that contains all backuped files (without space). put that folder in another folder named "backup". put backup folder in another folder named "clockworkmod". put clockworkmod folder in data/media using any root explorer (enable mount option in setting). try to restore
I used the root browser included in rom toolbox and that seemed to work. Thank you for your replies! I truly appreciate it

Thank you for your reply. Luckily I didn't have to go through that process, it seemed to go away after using root browser. Thanks again!

For some reason i made a second backup by accident, and something went wrong.(probably lack of disk space)
I now have 2 backups, i would like to delete one. (since i'm running short on disk space)
Tried too delete it but i got the "There was an error renaming your backup. Please choose a unique and valid file name for your backup." error.
I tried everything provided in this thread without any succes. (sorry for replying on this kinda old thread)
Anyone has an idea how to help me out?
Running CM11 (nightly) with stock kernel CM.
Thx for any help!
Update:
Nevermind, went into recovery and deleted the corrupted one!
