Hello!
I S-OFFed my phone and then I rooted it in order to try an ICS ROM. Everything went smooth. I put 4ext and then made a backup. Then I put the ICS ROM and now I want to revert back to my backup.
Sadly, I can't. I don't know why. Can any1 help?! All off the backup-ed files are in the folder: 2012-09-30.21.57.56_GRI40. The folder contains the following files:
.android_secure.yaffs2.img
boot.img
cache.yaffs2.img
data.yaffs2.img
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.yaffs2.img
There is no zip file and I dont know how to restore? The Restore function doesn't work, install from sdcard either (it searches for zip). What to do? Please, I want my backed up files!
4ext is ver 1.0.0.5 RC3. I have done full wipe before ICS ROM and before I tried restoring. Please, help!
PS: Or atleast give me link to read how to do it myself, I can't seem to find what I am looking for :/ This backup is really important for me!

create a folder on ur sdcard named-
clockworkmod
and put ur
2012-09-30.21.57.56_GRI40
backup file in the clockworkmod folder and then try restore in recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire
Just tried it - not working Still can't find any backup. 2012-09-30.21.57.56_GRI40 is not a file but a folder with many files in it. It is not a zip. Could that be a problem?
PS: OK, solved it!
First, to say - the phone stopped booting into OS - it went straight to HBOOT when I press the power button. So I made a new backup. Then I copied my update files instead of the ones I created last. Then using advanced restore, I restored everything one by one (without cache).
It worked
Thanks for the advice, jmcclue, it helped a lot!

Hi all,
I have had my Note II for a day now and I love it but I seem to have an issue. I rooted and installed CWM 6.0.1.5 (modified version by Phil I believe) using Odin and I of course made a backup of my stock rooted ROM before I started flashing anything but when I tried to restore my Nand it says that it cant find the files and cant open the location. The CWM backup file IS there cause I can see it when I plug my phone into my computer but it wont restore and yes... I've tried EVERY restore option there is in CWM - Restore, Advanced Restore, Restore from External, Advanced Restore from External, so on and so on...
Can anyone tell my why I cant restore my Nandroid? This concerns me as well should I ever need to restore my backed up EFS as again, it just wont restore anything from CWM.
Anyone else with this issue or know what to do about it?
Also,
When I choose to flash anything from Internal SD it is now taking me to a list that shows /0, /obb and /legacy (or something like that) and then I have to choose /0 in order to gain access to my actual Internal files.
I actually have 2 of these sets of folders some how after flashing so now when I try and flash from Internal SD I have to choose /0 AND THEN ANOTHER /0 to access the internal card from CWM. This is quite weird and annoying to say the least. This behavior is also shown when searching my device using ANY file explorer and when I connect my phone to my computer as well - IE. I have all of these extra folders showing.
Can ANYONE explain why this is happening and how to avoid it if at all possible? Is this just something new in 4.2? I am currently running Jellybam 3.52 - 4.2.1 ROM.
Thanks,
Is your Nandroid backup from CWM or TWRP?
I've seen articles regarding the backup function of CWM, the backup files have to be in the following path on either the Internal or External SD Card. I'll use the below path as an example for an external SD card.
externalsdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[What ever you want the backup to be]
When you use the restore function from CWM and navigate to Restore from External/Internal SD Card. It should come up with the name of the folder you chose in [What ever you want the backup to be] and be able to restore your Nandroid backup.

My Nand is in CWM. I dont use TWRP.
As I said... My backup is on my internal sd card in the exact same format as you described but when I go to CWM and try to restore it first says "cannot open directory" and then immediately says "no files found"
Ive been using CWM since my original SGS and I have never seen this happen before. I can see it in my File Explorer, I can see it on my computer when I plug in the device but I cant get CWM to find the file to restore it.
Im about as confused as it gets...
Im testing something right now... I am making a new backup of my Jellybeer ROM to my External SD card to see what happens. IF it will find the files after its done I will advise but I still dont get why it wont restore from my internal card...?
*EDIT* So it seems to have backed up to the ext. sd card and I can see this file when I choose to restore from ext. sd but... it was the FASTEST backup Ive ever seen. It literally took like 45 seconds if that so I hope its a full back up!
IF my memory serves me correctly... When I backed up my stock ROM (my initial back up), I checked for the restore when it was done and it was there but then I flashed Hyperdroid and then I flashed PACman and then tried to restore my original Nand and it wouldn't let me so I wonder if I flash something else (which i don't want to do right now cause Jellybeer is serving me well at the moment) am I going to lose the ability to flash my Nand again?

Ok so... NEW ISSUE!!!
I tried to restore the nand I made yesterday to my ext sd card (as I mentioned 2 posts back) and it said MD5 mismatch?! WTF?! How is that even possible? Can anyone please advise why my CWM is acting so weird?! Is there another version I can download perhaps? I am at a complete loss...

Thanks for the reply but... What would cause this to happen? Did you read my post where I backed up to my external sd card? Like I said... The backup literally only took like 45 seconds to complete which is weird unto itself.
What will flashing a stock ROM do to fix this? And when you say "stock" do you mean like "stock - unrooted"?
did u install cm 10. just read it propyl with cm 10.1 ie jb 4.2 creates a 0 folder all ur files get put in there

Chenglu is the one I used when I rooted my device by using Dr. Ketans guide and now I cant get ANY of my NAND backups to restore...
With regard to the /0 file issue - Yes... I am running a 4.2.+ CM10.1 based ROM so I understand that it creates those /0 files but it just keeps on creating them after flashing anything new!!!
Your issue is related to the new JB 4.2 and multi-user feature. CWM cannot find backups since they are moved to a different folder
The day you need your backup, just install a JB 4.1.2, move your /0 folder to root of sdcard and run your nandroid

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the reply my friend! So...you're saying that IF and when I need to restore my nand that I will have to install a 4.1.2 ROM first and then follow your instructions to move the /0 folder to the root of my sd card (i assume by using a file explorer of some kind in the 4.1.2 ROM itself?) and then flash my nand? Is that correct? Should I keep just any old 4.1.2 ROM on my device at all times for this purpose?
If so then what if I have multiple /0 files created as I do now? Currently I have 2 /0 folders and this seems to grow as I flash anything new. Do I then move ALL of the /0 folders to the root of my sd card before I can restore my nandroid backup?
Also... Why was I not able to restore from my external sd card using the option in your recovery either? I made a simple backup of my current 4.2.+ ROM to my external card and when I tried to restore it last night to test it said MD5 mismatch. Is this related to the 4.2 ROM issue as well?

Im sorry but I dont know if I understand you completely...
Flash CWM with odin and then go into mounts? Firstly, what version of CWM are you saying to flash and then I assume you mean once thats done that I should then boot into recovery and then go into mounts? And then wipe caches, format system?
Can you clarify?

What I did was... I flashed v6.0.2.7 via ODIN (which has 4.2.+ ROM support) and I am now FINALLY able to restore my Nand back ups!!! The only thing now is that I apparently have 3 /0 folders on my device and I REALLY just want to know how to get rid of the extra folders and to know how to keep them from being created altogether!!!
I have one that has ALL of the original .zip files, gapps, etc that I installed on my device, then I have one that has an efs backup on it somehow and has a couple of application folders in it and then I have one that is like stock.
Why are these being created and how can I get rid of them? This is driving me CRAZY!!!
I had the same issue this morning.
I fixed it by installing the aroma file manager addon in Phil's CWM recovery and using aroma to copy the clockworkmod folder out of the /0 folder and back to the root of the sd card.
Then when I went into backup and restore the backup was visible again.
Once you have a rom installed you shoudl just be able to plug in via usb and just browse the sd card on your computer to move everything back out of the /0 folder

You can install nandroid manager from playstore and you can fix nandroid md5 mismatch there or you can use terminal emulator to generate new md5 file in your nandroid (google it because i cant remember the command)

Hi,
Yesterday I made a new nandroid backup and uploaded it using clockworkmod, which created an zip file, my problem is, how upload it to android to restore again using clockworkmod?
Thanks in advanced
There should be an option to restore and let you choose the backup under "Backup and Restore" in recovery.

You made a nandroid while in custom recovery right ? The confusing part is you say then you uploaded it . If its on your phone then it should be in your clockworkmod backup directory .

The problem was, I made an nandroid backup and uploaded it to my computer, and to save space deleted from my GNex. I installed a new rom (4.4) and because I didn't like it wanted to return to my backup. I couldn't find a way to upload it to my GNex using Rom Manager/Clockworkmod Recovery, then I tried to copy to "sdcard" then to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup, but using root explorer applications I couldn't, finally I used an terminal application to move/copy using comand lines as su/sudo (can't remember which), after this I finally restore the backup.
What's strange is, with Rom Manager I can upload the backup to my computer using http://192.168.43.1:4000, has an zip file, but to restore from my computer to GNex there isnt any option, either to extract the folder with date and time to the correct folder, in this case /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup.
that sound like u already wipe data partition.. just make any fake flash zip to mount up the partition.
then restore the recovery from your sd (if any)..
or can push that recovery data...
1. using correct path - /data/media/0/twrp/backup/folder_name.. or any ( can found this path in nandroid recovery log)

Hi there - i am completely new to this so please excuse my ignorance. I rooted my phone and due to some Apps not working that I really needed, I tried to unroot to get back to where I was to start with.
I have now found myself in the awful position of my device having no OS installed and no matter what threads I have followed, I cannot get any ROM to install.
What I have is:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP installed
S-On
HBOOT 3.16.0.0000
I think I have the right ROM for my device (Vodap001) and i have tried using sideloading and ADB push but none of these work.
Can anyone please help me to get back to a stock ROM
Did you try to sideload a full ROM, or a backup? Asking as backups can't be installed using sideload. If tried to sideload a full ROM, what exactly happened?
You could just sideload any full sense ROM, the place the TWRP Backup for you version into the TWRP Backup folder on your phone and run a restore.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried to sideload a stock nandroid backup from one of the links. Is this not correct?

Where would I find a full ROM from?

Put it in root directory of external sd card.
That apart, I saw that some .zip files doesn't open properly at all but keeps on throwing errors even if you try to open it on a PC. If you have 7zip try and extract the .zip file and use 7zip to make it a .zip file again.
On a side note, are you trying to flash a backup again instead of a ROM? Just because you download a backup and rename it ROM.zip doesn't make it a ROM anymore than taking a baseball bat and naming it a soccer ball makes it a "soccer ball"
Download any stock ROM from Android Development ROM Repository. You could also just download a custom ROM quickly, flash the ROM. When that's done go into recovery and restore the nandroid backup for your device.

Zip file is not corrupted ... the way you do it totally wrong.
Stock nandroid backup is NOT a ROM.zip

If you just wiped the system partition you can got into TWRP, choose Restore and using this menu restore your OS that you have backed up and on your internal storage.
Hi, I'm still not having any luck with trying to get an OS back on my HTC One M8.
I've followed the advice and done the following:
1. I have extracted a nandroid stock backup, put this into the TWRP\backup folder and attempted to restore this from TWRP. This appears to do everything, i get no errors and looks great until I swipe to reboot and i get the mesage stating No OS Installed. Am I wrong in thinking this shoudl restore the OS?
2. I have downloaded ViperOneM8_2.4.0 and put this zip file in the root of my SD Card. I have then used the Install menu in TWRP, selected the .zip file and I still get the message E:Unable to open zip file. I have checked using 7Z and the file appears in tact and not corrupt.
can someone give me an idiots guide of how to get out of this mess I have created?
Thanks
Hi!
i kinda messed up my phone a little after trying to upgrade my firmware. I must have flashed the wrong one.
Fortunately i can get into the bootloader, recovery and even start a custom rom.
Unfortunately some things are broken there:
-BT not working
-cant install any apps from store
-some other things
now i tried to reset my phone to complete stock using a nandroid backup from the forum
i dragged it on my phone, twrp sees it and when i try to install it i cant choose the partitions to restore.
When i swipe it i get the Error:
E: no partitions selected for restore
i made a nandroid backup of my broken rom and i can flash this without any problems
maybe im trying to use the wrong nandroid? i tried several but i always get that message. What came to my mind is that there are some files missing in the nandroid backups i downloaded. its about all the 0byte .tar files. Are these interchangeable so i can just try to use copy the ones i have to the nandroid backup i want to install?
Can someone please tell me which nandroid backup i should get?
CID: VODAP102

version baseband: 1.16.2133156.VA15G

The bootloader 3.16 indicates your phone is on 1.12 or 1.54 software
any of these should work for VODAP102

I would try the first one first and be sure and check the MD5 of the files you download. It may also be worth your time to update to the latest version of TWRP

where are you putting the extradited files ?
they go in TWRP/BACKUPS/YourSerialnumber/nandroidyoudownloaded
in TWRP you can chang where it looks for the backup by simply click the word internel storage xxxxxmb or external sd xxxxxmb or usb_otg xxxxxmb
just choose where you put the nandroid you downloaded

Hi Guys,

I made an backup with the "online nandroid backup" app ant want to restore it with TWRP.
I put the folder in TWRP\backups\myserial\ and it is available in the restore menu in TWRP. But when I try to use it the message is shown!
What can I do? Do I have to flash CWM to use my backup?

Never mind, got it sorted. It always feels better when you work at it and figure it out yourself. Thanx sarumans for the point in the right direction.

After selected the desired backup folder to restore, did you actually "check" the boxes for the partitions (Boot, System, Data) you want to restore (before you do Swipe to Restore)?
there is actually no box like this or i just look in the wrong place. To do restore i go to bootloader then recovery, restore and i just select the backup folder i dont know where schould i check that boxes.

That TWRP version?
Probably can't help any further, since I am know seeing you have a phone that is pretty old. This forum section is specific to the M8.

where are you putting the extradited files ?
they go in TWRP/BACKUPS/YourSerialnumber/nandroidyoudownloaded
in TWRP you can chang where it looks for the backup by simply click the word internel storage xxxxxmb or external sd xxxxxmb or usb_otg xxxxxmb
just choose where you put the nandroid you downloaded

YOU my friend are an absolulte BEEEEEEEEAUTY!!!!
Everywhere that I checked other than here, simply stated that the backup file had to be in the BACKUP folder.
After two days of failure with multiple attempts to install different roms for my S4 (I know, wrong thread) I resorted to the 'Restore' option. I was losing my mind until I found this post of yours. That 'YourSerialNumber' step is crucial.
MUCH respect.

Easy and useful trick, is to use TWRP to make a backup. For instance, go into TWRP, select Backup, check Boot partition only (assuming your device has that - I don't know much about the S4), which is probably just 10-20 Mb.
TWRP will construct the proper folder structure to save the Boot backup. You can then copy the downloaded nandroid to the same location.
You can put several backup folders in twrp:\backups\myserial\backup1, backup2
But remember (no sub-folders)
**backup1 and backup2 are two different backups. You can also rename folders for your ease but you can't rename (myserial folder) otherwise it will disappear.

Useful info. I personally like to rename the backup folders (after TWRP generates the backup) with details about the ROM, date, etc. such as: "Stock Rooted Magisk (2-2-18)".
I know TWRP auto creates a file name, with the date and time of when the backup is made. But I still like to change the date format to something that is easier for me to understand. Plus some details on what exactly the backup contains (rooted or not, stock or custom ROM, etc.).
Can anyone help pls ..i have the same problem .Kindly show the right way pls

Sure.
TWRP -> BACKUP -> choose BOOT only -> execute
now check where the image was saved eg: ext: /TWRP/BACUPS/XXXXXXXXXX/DATA.../files
now delete what is in the XXXXXXXXXX folder and move your folders there from the path / TWRP / BACKUPS / YYYYYYYYYYY /
this is because it was re-uploaded TWRP and now have a different backup path (folder XXXXXXXXXX)
