I've successfully rooted my Pixel C running Android 7.0, booted into TWRP, and made a set of backup files. These are 11 files with extensions like .win, .win.md5, .win000, .win001, and .win001.md5. Is there a way to convert these to image files?

what is the purpose of creating image files ?
not sure if there is an tool existing .. but you can build an image file by hand.
rename the twrp backup files and add the extension ".tar" -> data.ext4.win000.tar
( data.ext4.win003 -> data.ext4.win003.tar )
untar all the files into one folder.
build a new image file.
as well you can use "dd" command .. to make a full dump of the partition.
this will be a big image file (approx. 25GB) .. the complete data partition.
just shrink the raw image afterwards .. (resize2fs -M)
If you have encrpyted data partition you need to decrypt ..
anyway .. the most important partition is "data" .. make a backup of data only.
flash the other partitions from stock/custom images and use fastboot.
hope this helps ...

what i think iv found out is that there is no ruu out for this, iv found a nandroid bk up but it is a rar file. this is what im stuck on how to restore with it
Open the rar with winrar/winzip/7zip and extract all the files to your pc... and now transfer all the files to your phone in this directory /clockworkmod/backup/02-06-2013/ and put the boot.img file in the fastboot folder.
Go to fastboot mode and then flash the boot.img and then erase cache... Go to recovery and then wipe everything! and finally restore backup and then reboot!
PS: I'm assuming you have a backup made with CWM recovery!
CWM recovery made 2 rar file

Hey guys, i like to root my new iNew U3 with android 5.1
So i used several programs like Kingroot, oneclickroot aso. but no apk works.
May the device is simple not to root atm?
Thanks Brook
I have tested all available root apps, no success.
I have Readbacked boot, recovery and system images, boot and recovery have special format, not possible to unpack and repack by available tools, mainly repack is problem. System is native EXT4 mountable under linux, injected by supersu files and modifications, but because of SELinux files are not available to exec under running android. I am not able to set right files contexts under Ubuntu.
I will let you know if find solution.
Hi guys, I bought this phone ( Inew U3 ) on Ebay .
The phone is not so bed!! But I can't move any app on the microSD !!!!!!
In any case app can move on SD, It is that the main memory is set to the phone, whether the main memory is set to SD !!!!!
Even with third-party app, type Link2SD you can move apps to the SD, are always on the phone memory !!!
Also you can not do root in any way !!
Solutions?
OK, found way how to root this phone.
Method is "simple":
First OTA update to version iNew_U3_5.1_V1.1.0, not sure if root survive OTA. Do factory reset.
Use SP Flash Tool to backup system.img,
mount is under linux to /system folder as ext4, it is pure ext4.
Unpack latest UPDATE-Supersu package.
Open file update-binary file as text, do all as in instructions.
Umount /system folder after finished.
Flash system.img back to phone.
If not shown reinstall SuperSU app from Playstore.
I will share modified system.img with scatter on needrom later tomorrow.

ummmm dude it is zipped . that is the file extension for every backup I've ever seen. you mean (I think) a nandroid backup. it's a backup that includes all system aspects including settings.

With twrp 3.1.0 we can backup straight to our PC in a signal zip file.
First enable ‘USB debugging’ from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
Reboot your device into TWRP Recovery.
Now create a new folder on your PC, where you want to save the TWRP backup files.
Open the command window by pressing and hold the ‘shift’ key and right-clicked anywhere in that folder.
In the command window type the following command to create TWRP backup.adb backup --twrp
The above command will bring up the GUI and allow you to choose partitions from the backup page.
Or you can also take backup of particular options with below commandadb backup -f <filename> --twrp <options>
where options are--compress: compress data system: backup system cache: backup cache data: backup data boot: backup boot etc for each partition.
