Hello, I just made a TWRP backup and it backed up to /data/media/0/TWRP/Backups/SERIAL_NUMBER/date. This obviously takes up a lot of room on my phone and I want to move it to my PC. Problem is, my PC isn't seeing the files. Neither is the Root Browser app after given the proper permissions. My phone is running a CM13 nightly, specifically the 9/10 nightly (yeah i know i am outdated). I am making a mistake here but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Please help.
The reason I'm making this backup is because I want to try out RROS.

What twrp version are you using?
Simply moving the TWRP folder where there is the backup on the PC.

connect your phone to your pc
boot into TWRP
while in twrp, run adb on your pc
execute 'adb devices' to confirm your phone is connected and adb recognizes it
on adb in your pc, execute the command 'adb pull /data/media/0/TWRP/Backups/SERIAL_NUMBER/date'
adb will dump the backup to the folder where adb is
hope that helps!
Thanks for the help everyone and I finally got it. For some reason, Windows Explorer didn't update itself fully so I didn't see the file.

You could try changing the backup folders to .zip on your phone through file manager then seeing if your pc recognizes them. Then change the file type back to original once transfered to your pc. Has helped me bofore. goodluck

thank you my dear but where and what exactly are the backup folders . been looking over and over
have you upgraded to 4.2??
If so you need the latest CWM recovery.
TWRP no good last time i checked.

Use the cmd prompt on your pc (run from where adb is installed) to try to find the path where clockwork mod is located as follows:
adb ls /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
adb ls /sdcard/0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you see the clockworkmod folder in either locations?
If you find it in using the 1st statement then you can pull the nandroid backup to your computer with the following command:
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod /clockworkmod/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you find it in location 2 then use command:
adb pull /sdcard/0/clockworkmod /clockworkmod/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should copy the entire nandroid backup to your PC.

thanx man the last command worked and it did pull some files but they are not backup files. some files in KBs and one folder named downloads.
If the second command seems to be working then you can use below commands to check what's in the directory:
adb ls /sdcard/0/clockworkmod/
Normally you should have two folders 'backup' & 'blobs'. You can further check what's inside these folders by typing:
adb ls /sdcard/0/clockworkmod/backup/

I put CM7 on my daughter's Wildfire S a year ago, and everything has been fine until now - and it just bootloops on the CM7 animation.
I have tried wiping dalvik & cache, fixing permissions in CWM, reflashing CM7 (the version from last year - cm-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel.zip) and gapps. Nothing helps. Any ideas please, before I try a full wipe? I am trying to avoid that since she has no backups...

Try flashing the latest version, it'll have less bugs anyway. I don't think you absolutely need to wipe when updating a ROM but it would probably be advisable.You can try this however.
-Download the Android Debug Bridge (adb) from Google's site onto your computer.
-Plug your phone into the computer and open the Terminal Emulator.
-Type cmd in the little window that appears and press enter.
-Navigate to the folder that you downloaded ADB to. (Example: cd C:\Users\Guest\Downloads\platform-tools )
-Type "adb backup" without the quotes to take a copy of your phone's data onto the computer.
-Now you can safely do whatever you want.

Thanks. That is the latest version of the ROM unfortunately - old ROM on an old phone now.... If I go to e.g. CM10, I will have to do a full wipe anyway.
I have ADB already installed. It does respond to ADB commands like adb reboot, but using adb backup just results in the full set of commands being listed i.e. it doesn't know what to do. Are there other parameters to use? backup isn't in the list presented.
...
I found a suggestion to use
adb backup –apk –shared –all –f /backup/mybackup.ab
But I just get the response
adb: unable to connect for backup

I'll be honest, I've never used that command before. I just know how it works, I took a Nandroid backup when I first rooted my phone so have never needed it. I can't really help from this point on.. However if your phone will boot into recovery, assuming you have ClockWorkMod installed you can do a backup through that.

Hi, I was hoping to do an app+data kind of backup like Titanium. I did take a nandroid in CMW and then restored it, but it perfectly reproduced the bootloop behaviour haha. In the end I did a full wipe and told my daughter that she needed to start from scratch. 14 year olds are more pragmatic that I would be - she was just grateful she had her phone back and could get on FB. Google restored her contacts, which is the main thing. So all sorted, but the bootloop cause remains a mystery...
So I got myself a S4, & planned to give my wife the Nexus,, But I screwed up and, wiped EVERYTHING. Now I can't get my computer to recognize my phone to side load or install a ROM through adb. I feel like its the drivers won't install correctly. I've tried 2 different computers and am at a loss. I need help.. it just keeps saying ( I think it says) "hardware not installed correctly" :crying: anybody?

I had a similar situation yesterday with a failed 4.4 install on my Gnex and this is what worked for me, YMMV.
I installed the Minimal ADB package from here on my PC.
"adb devices" from within the ADB window showed my Gnex.
I downloaded the CM 10.2 Rom and placed the zip on the root c: of my PC for the shortest path to remember.
"adb push c:\'rom name' space '/sdcard/download' " to push the zip file to my Gnex. This can take a few seconds depending on the size of the zip.
Boot in recovery and flash the ROM zip.
Here's a link to an ADB guide

Thanks for your reply,, but I think I have adb installed correctly, but not sure about the drivers??
**************************************** UPDATE !!!! *******************************************
HOT DAMN!!! I got it.. I used wugs toolkit and was finally able to get my computer to recognize my Nexus.. I was about ready to skip this thing across the lake. I better make a back up before I screw with it to much more..
Okay so my father was about to flash to my rom. We Wiped data, cache, delvik, and installed rom. Said it worked and rebooted the phone. Phone tossed us into the CWM again and we tried flashing again and it gives us error #7. Soooo, We did NOT make a backup and every time we try to reflash the rom it gives us error 7. We can't get the Phone to be detected by the computer so we can at least grab his data. The thing here is we can't afford to lose the data on the phone (I know, should have made a backup). Any advice on how to proceed would help significantly. I've never seen this kind of issue in my years of rooting android phones. It just sits at the Google screen and doesn't go anywhere.
Phone is Verizon Galaxy nexus running (was) MIUI
Update: Tried flashing back his previous rom (MIUI) and I'm getting the error 7 again. Even though that past rom worked perfectly. This is all very frustrating.
What data do you want to keep? Internal storage won't be wiped when flashing ROMs, and as for app data, contacts, SMS, etc, as long as you can enter CWM, you can pull them out of the phone with "adb pull".

Well the problem is I don't have the Nexus adb installed onto the PC, so I can't connect to the nexus through USB. Can I install adb and everything without being in the rom? also I'm trying to get the Titanium backup folder and the photos.
If you can get into recovery, that means you can use adb. Just install the driver (if you are on Windows) and adb should work.

adb pull [remote file] [local file]
You can pull the whole folder from your phone. The folder of Titanium Backup should be /sdcard/TitaniumBackup or something similar. For photos it is in /sdcard/DCIM

I don't know much about those drivers because I use Ubuntu (just for my phone). But you can refer to this thread.

I've managed to kill mine worse than that, I cant get it to boot now after installing xposed framework 64bit, I can still get into TWRP recovery... Can't believe I didn't do a nandroid before I really started to play around. Oh well I'll live and learn!
I've gone through the steps to remove the xposed files but still having the same issues.
had to mount system with adb shell
mount /system/ to do the manual file deletions and renames
Same reason.
Nandroid will not help you.
I've made a Nandroid-Backup, but restore fails.
Please tell, if you have a solution.
Just wondering if your nandroid restore is failing because system is not mounted RW, have you tried mounting it whilst connected to a pc and issuing the following
adb shell
mount /system/
system should be now mounted rw in TWRP as well
What have I exactly to write, please?

In ADB Sideload mode, you need to write as above...
Mine is also dead, but Recovery is still there.
My battery is empty
Loading this is difficult, while the phone is on and can not get off.
Always after connecting the phone reboots and is very hot, so charging is very slowly.

Find someone who hasn't yet flashed xpos ed and ask them to pull the system partition. Then have them upload it so you can download and flash via fastboot

If I had one I would.. Post something in the h815 boot loader unlock thread and ask them to pull their system. It would be beneficial to everyone who has a h815 until the kdz comes out
