Title says it all, I've on twrp recovery right now. I tried cwm before since i was having that problem. First time with Samsung any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: I believe one the phone is encrypted, the data can't be mounted to security purposes.

Same problem
I have the same problem. My device's (Samsung GS III VZW) internal storage is encrypted as well. Does this seem like this could be what's causing this?
I want to make sure that my backups are good that I'm taking with nandroid in CWM 6.0.1.2. If I choose straight up Backup & Restore -> Backup from the menu then I get an error:
Can't mount backup path.
If I choose Backup & Restore -> Backup to external sdcard, then it chugs along for about 30 seconds, then gives this error:
Backing up data...
Can't mount /data!
However, my backups that are put on the External SD Card (extsdcard/clockworkmod/backup/<datedfolder>) only consist of 3 files, boot.img (10mb), recovery.img (10mb) and system.ext4.dup (317kb). This doesn't seem right..
Any thoughts? Does this seem like it could be caused by the device being encrypted ?
Thanks! I'm a real noob and really appreciate the help!

Ya I say definitely stay away from encryption if your gonna flash roms. I've been here before backup what you need and wipe data in recovery. If it doesn't work flash the stock jb rom thatll wipe it.(located here if needed http://www.mediafire.com/?c3cj6udkai1ljhk ). As far as the backups go I believe that's actually the right size. Cwm uses a weird format for its backups now. Granted if data can't be mounted I think those backups are worthless now anyway
Hi all,
I have a big problem, i promised i searched before nut i didn't find anything useful about it.
I installed the Ditto Note 3 v5 on my device, and everything was fine, but after I installed agni kernel, the system went crazy, i did follow the exact procedure, or if i made a mistake i didn't on purpose.
Whatever i had a nandroid backup before installing agni kernel, but now i found my device impossible to write on internal storage, meanwhile the external is fine I can do anything i wish, but the the internal storage no way to create even a folder or a simple file.
I have done that with TWRP 2.7.0.2 as a recovery, and I am really in deeply **** (sorry for the word), because I heavily use my device in my work, I am a "soccorritore", that means like paramedic in USA in ambulance, so it is really the truth i am in deeply ****, because I have all my documents in the internal storage in the nandroid backup, but i don't know how to restore them.
The nandroid backup is 4.58GB, but when i install the nandroid backup the internal storage is 7.5GB left, before with all the data was 5.8GB left in internale storage, so it is missing 1.7GB of data.
PLEASE!
I really need help and as soon as possible, I do not care about myself but documents and people schedules
Hi there, I've also restored one time my Rom through TWRP and couldn't write on the internal Storage anymore. TWRP has a problem with that, use Philz Recovery in future.
So, do you have your documents etc. in some Apps saved or in your internal Storage?
Yes, i do have documents in backup data. The problem is not the rom, in worst cases I reinstall again a new one, but what about the documents?

Well like I said/asked, if your documents are in some Apps, backup them using Titanium Backup on your SD Card. If your files are on the internal storage, you can simply flash a Firmware through Odin and nothing should happen to your data. Or just connect your device to your PC and copy all your files over to your PC.

The problem are not the backup applications, but the documents as I said, they are not in an application, they are in the nandroid backup created from TWRP recovery and the nandroid backup is an md5 format.
You are telling me that titanium backup can restore nandroid backups?
I even thought to use odin, if it can be useful.
No Titanium Backup can't restore backups, it just backups all your apps + data.
A Recovery doesn't backup your whole Internal Storage, it just backups your System Partition etc.
So my thought were, just flash a Firmware through Odin and everything should be alright I guess.
Oh man! I love you
I still like women but I think you know what I mean, I used odin and I restored the entire backup to the device, but still not able to write on the internal storage, but who cares I reflash e new rom, the most important is i can transfer the documents and the data to the external storage and to a computer. I learned a lesson today, I can't describe how do I feel now, and there are no words to describe how much I thank you
For some reason whenever I try to backup my T705 using TWRP the backup doesn't show up in the TWRP backup folder on my external SD Card. I don't know where it has been saved to.
Any help greatly appreciated.
UPDATE. Just flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and get the message E:- Unable to locate '/efs2' partition for backup process.
can I ask what does that mean?
Thanks
You're probably backing up to the internal storage. Make sure the backup location selected is MicroSd.
You can try my version here if you still get backup problems.

Hi
I always backup to the ext. SD Card. However I'll try your version.
Team,
Has anyone successfully performed data recovery on the /data partition after several backup restores?
My issue is I performed a TWRP full backup on my HTC One M8 to the external sd card but it is corrupted and I cannot get to the files I need.
Would data recovery help? If so, what is the best solution to go with?
Thanks!
trying to do a twrp backup to sd, as the above states failed.. why, i can backup to internal though..

Theoretically if you format the SD in TWRP in way to let it being detected, the format won't be seen by ROM but only by TWRP.
