You should put the backup in this path: sdcard/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/
Otherwise the recovery will not find it...
Good Luck

Did you make sure you weren't looking at internal memory? Sometimes it will change which storage you're looking at

Hi i upgraded to 2.3 a few days ago following this guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135901 ) but i am not happy with my battery consumption using this ROM so i am hoping there is a way i can restore my nandroid backup i made during the upgrade i see it says this in the guide i followd
7. Create a nandroid backup of your current system by scrolling to “Backup & Restore” using VOL UP/DOWN key, and POWER button to execute (this is so that you can return revert back to your official ROM for warranty purposes
But how would i go about doing this .
thanks
in advance

to go back to ur froyo u need to enter recovery(vol down when u see blue led during M logo booting) and from dere u can restore ur froyo...after restoring enter bootloader and flash a fixed sbf of any froyo...(i am assuming that u backed up froyo).
I made a nandroid backup of my 2.2.2 is this what you mean, then can I use a uk 2.2.2 fixed sbf file?
Thanks djc

What file location on my sd card do i put my nandroid backup in for the clockwork recovery system to detect it as at the moment it sais no backup found but my backup is still in the origional location from the guide i followd when creating it “\goapkrev\backup"
And also to make things clear do i restore from my nandroid backup “System Only” like when i upgraded to 2.3 or do i restore my full nandroid backup ?
thanks
djc
EDIT: Found the folder location /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-01???????? , but now when i go into recovery console then it opens clockwork recovery then when i choose advanced restore ect, it sais
cach.img is present
data.img is present
system.img is present
BOOT.IMG NOT FOUND <-- Is this a problem as i never had it i have my backup saved on my sd card and my pc and my laptop??
Update on this , i restored my nandroid backup then the fixed sbf file , and was back on 2.2.2 all working then i had in the notification area "damaged sd card" (The card is 4gb SDHC) when i cliked format it did nothing so i loaded into recovery console and tried to format it that way and it said complete, but the card would still not work in my phone , when i got home put the sd card in the pc and it opend but all the filenames were rubbish funny icons and random letters and the free space on the card was over 3gb, so i tried formatting in windows and it could not do it, give me an error, so then i used "EASEUS Partition Master " wich i got experiance with from before, and i formatted it suxcessfully then windows let me format it as normall, but phone would not boot with it inserted,
Then i decieded to instull full sbf of 2.2.2 uk as my device was shippd as 2.2.2 as standerd so i wouldnt need to go back to 2.2.1 ,
Still after all that the phone works fine and with some other sd cards i got here eg 2gb and 8gb sdhc it works fine but with that 4 gb sdhc card it stops at boot with the red logo.
Bear in mind this sd card performs as normall in my partners tocco lite and on my computer/laptop , so it is a bit strange to why my phone will not boot with it inserted, any one knoe something i could try to get it to work with my phone.
thanks for reading
djc
My problem with the sd card is now fixed windows was not showing me 7mb of un-partitiond space on the 4gb sdhc and this was causing the boot stick, so i had a proper look at the card with EASEUS Partition Master and was able to remove that unpartitiond space and now the card works fine again
thanks

I had a complete disaster and lost everything. I have mounted the sd as usb storage and put a rom onto it but neither TWRP or CWm will see them .
Sideload fails in TWRP and every time I try to push i get an error telling me that /data/media/ is a directory ..please anyone got any ideas ? I cant RUU as im on H3g and there isnt a JB one released
Mount the sdcard, copy the rom.zip to the root of the sdcard. Reboot the recovery and install the rom.

Thanks but as I said in the post I had done that but TWRP and CWM would not see the ROM's. .
It turned out to be the file system on the sd card. I formatted it to fat32 and the recoveries then saw the ROM's .
Ah check. Well i had a similar issue a while back. Copied the rom and tried to install, also not visible. Rebooted the recovery once and that probably rescanned the sdcard
But good that its solved :thumbup:

When you restore the backup, do full wipe before restoring? If not try again like this
- First flash boot.img from backup file as "fastboot flash boot boot.mg" then "fastboot erase cache"
- Go to recovery do full wipe then restore backup.
- Reboot

Hi guys,
this morning i had to the brilliant idea to go from OMNI 4.4.4 LVM into ColorsOs (chinese version) 4.4.4(not lvm..)
i did a complete wipe and COLOROS worked
but since there were few things i didn't like i wanted to re install my Nadroid backup..
so i went in recovery wiped all and re installed nandroid backup but IT FAILED
Basically the things is UNABLE TO MOUNT INTERNAL SD
i can ADB mobile on windows but (if i remove external sd card) not partition is seen
there is a way i can solve? did i just brick my phone? or i can create this internal sd card?? I can go in recovery and use ADB
thanks for you help

LITTLE UPDATE
i USED my nandroid backup and from it i could install just the BIOS .. and i've got back my OMNI ROM but internal partition is only 2,9GB
so how can i get back all normal from this point? like REVERSE LVM or reinstall it ??
or jsut format partition..
thank you all !
Ok.. I solved it... Main problem seemed to be that I went from a lvm rom to a Not LVM... so I used 2 files to revert and recreate lvm.. In the end I've got my rom back to work

Just a guess but I would try flashing that https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550733 rename to '0PJAIMG.ZIP' and place on sd card and try and flash from download mode.
Try and update once installed, it may well wipe your device!

those are the steps
rename the RUU.zip to 0PJAIMG.ZIP, place it on a ext sd card formatted in FAT32 (a 16 or 32gig one should work), reboot into DOWNLOAD_MODE, agree and it should flash.
Can't be exact right now, in bed about to go to sleep lol, I presume you know how to get into download mode, not recovery. If the file is located in the sdcard at root it should commence flashing if named as I said before. Good luck.

Are you putting the file on the Ex SDcard ? and is it the correct name ? and is it a fat 32 card ?
sd not mounted = wrong file name or not fat 32
here just use the RUU EXE much easier
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9/news/
be aware all these will wipe your internal storage
Is it formatted and named correctly as stated.

Yes flash TWRP and SuperSU again
but no if you save your system.img before you root you can restore it and not loose everything on the next OTA
it's all here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59745198&postcount=3
and my files are all here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28823
We have the same phone so my files will always work for you
and what RUU did you flash the .6 or the .30
if you flashed the .6 take the OTA before you flash TWRP / Root
