Does the nandroid backup also backup sdcard.
I am about to format my sd card and I already saved what matters like photos and nandroid backups, but im wondering if anything goes wrong will the nandroid backup fix the problem or do I have to backup to my pc (which sadly doesnt have the space)
Nope, just the phone. If you app2sd then it will back up the ext partition that the apps are on but that about as good as it gets.
You could always back it up to a usb drive or dvd-rw if you have them.
Hi guys,
I noticed something when restoring a Nandroid Backup with CWM 2.5.1.3:
1. I have 870MB left on the internal memory
2. I make a Nandroid backup and flash something else
3. then I make a full wipe and restore the Nandroid Backup
4. I have 820MB left on the internal memory
Did anyone else noticed this problem??
Does anyone know if this problem is gone with CWM 3.0.0.6/3.0.2.5 ????
Thank you very much
Hi lilil
The CWM 2.51.3 and 3.0.0.6 has nothing to do with "consuming" memory.
After you restore back the back-up, do you delete the back-up? Cause the back-up will obviously eat space.
Unless you delete that back-up, it will definitely takes up memories. You can check whether you have any back-ups left in ROM Manager itself.
Tap ROM Manager >> Manage and Restore Back-ups >> Hold the Back-up(if any) and tap delete
Cheers =)
But aren't the backups on the SD card ????
Backups are indeed on the sdcard. Would kinda defeat the point otherwise.
Since the is no sd card on this phone to save stuff on (i.e. pictures music, etc), when we flash a rom and have to do a wipe , do we lose all of our stuff?
Before you install a custom ROM, make a backup of your current ROM in Recovery. The phone uses built in storage instead of an SD card, but the process for backing up and restoring is the same.

ok do a backup in CWM ? so when I flash after the new rom is on , my folders and files will still be on the built in storage ?
Create a CWM backup and backup the apps you want on titanium. My suggestion for titanium, after you wipe let the market automatically restore your apps and use titanium to restore your data from the apps you want. Most everything like pictures and what's on your internal storage should still be there after wipe, but I would throw them on your laptop or wherever just in case.

The phone does have a "sdcard." Just think of it as a irremovable 16 GB sdcard.
Everything else is the same.
Making a backup is optional, you can do it if you want. Or not do it.
You can always restore yourself back to stock using the stock images provided by Google (google it if you wish to find it).
I've been thinking about cleaning up the internal storage on my One and had a question. Are TiB backups independent of internal file structures?
For example if I backup all system settings, apps and data and place them on a thumb drive using an OTG cable, and then delete/format internal data, could I install a Rom and TiB from the thumb drive and restore my phone to current layout, minus the "trash"? Or does TiB need the apps file to restore its data?
Sort of a convoluted question but I'm trying to clean up space.

Yes, everything TB needs to do the restore will be stored in the TB folder. I've never had much luck backing up and restoring system info but you will definitely be fine backing up apps and data. You could also do a nandroid, move it off the phone, format data, move it back, restore.
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
