Hi there,
I was running a RR rom and got a msg about an update for my ROM. So i thought i would try it out. I made a full nandroid back up and after that updated my ROM. After the update my homebutton didnt work anymore. So i thought, lets just restore my back up again. I did a fully factory wipe, i flashed TWRP again on my OP3 because for some reason after the factory wipe i got the Cynogen recovery mode. So i put back TWRP, put my back up on my phone from my laptop, but when i went to "restore" nothing was there. I tried to move my back up from the "sdcard" directory to the root directory but i got an error which didnt specify what the problem was.
Can any1 help me restore my OP3 again?
so when u went to TWRP -> Restore, there was not backup found to restore? but when u check ur phone through file manager its there?

Thats correct. When i go in the file manager, i see the backup in the sdcard directory along side the TWRP directory. I tried to move it with the file manager, but it gave me an error which was not specefied.

ok now i extracted all the files from the tar files, but what is the next step? I tried putting them on my OP3, but that does nothing. My OP3 still doesnt see a back up.
Another thing is something i saw is that in TWRP, when i shut down my OP3, TWRP says that there is no OS installed. Is that normal?
No that is not normal, the extraction is there so u can reinstall things, I will have to take a look at it again, do u know what all partitions u had backed up and did u move the backup location?
Lately backup in twrp recovery sucks.
Yesterday, i want to test another rom. So i wipe cache/dalvik & backup in twrp. I select all except rom img (3gb) and cache (zero). Try the new rom. Does not work for me. So wipe all except sd card & restore my backup.
Error..
I use only twrp 3.0.4.1, so it can not be a conflict in different twrp's versions. It's not the first time....
If you wipe youre phone, including sd card, go to recovery, backup and choose the smallest size file to backup. Recovery creates youre backup folder in TWRP directory. After that you can erase the that backup.
I flashed back oxygen (OMG I forgot how ugly oxygen was) last version, so I got a working phone again but ofc without all my media. I just find it weird that I make a full backup (I had everything checked) and I can't do anything with it.
I did full factory reset, so maybe that's the reason my OS got deleted aswell. What partition has the OS installed?
When I reboot my OP3, I get a msg saying that dm-verity has not started in enforcingmode and may not work properly. What does that mean?

Well I was going to put my first ROM on (cyanogen) and something went wrong. I had done a Nandroid backup and when I try it says Error while flashing boot image. I can't get past the boot screen. In desperation I tried Wipe data/factory reset in Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.0.1 to no avail. Can anyone help me outta this mess?
Anyone There ??
Can anyone help??
Make sure your battery is charged up enough, too low and nandroid will fail on most recovery versions but the latest amonra.
If that doesn't work look for a .img file to flash back to stock
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Where would I look for a .img file? On the SD?
If you can still wipe then you can get to recovery. Us the USB-MS toggle to connect your phone to your computer. Re-download a ROM's zip fie and try again. try something very stable, wipe, then reflash. It should boot fine. Sprintlovers is a good stable rom to work with. Just download, use USB-MS toggle to copy it to the root of your SD card, turn off USB-MS toggle, WIPE ALL! / factory data reset, then flash zip from SD card. Wait for that to finish and it will boot fine.
Here is a link to the sprint lovers download:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PXIYUNSY
and the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153
If you are using clockwork recovery I think the USB toggle is under partition menu, that or advanced.
Thanks so much. I'll try that, but I'm not sure what you mean by the USB-MS toggle. Would you mind expanding on that a little? I really appreciate it.
I just searched for it. I have a different recovery so the wording is different. Connect your phone to the computer while in recovery. Move down to the Partition menu and enter that. One of the options should be "Mount USB". Click that.
A folder should pop up on your computer showing the contents of your SD card. Copy the .zip file that I gave you the link to above to the SD card. Then disconnect USB.
Wipe or factory reset from the wipe menu. Then flash the .zip from the SD card. Then reboot the phone. It will take a few minutes to load, but should work.
I can't thank you enough! I was scared sh-tless that I'd bricked my phone. Wish I could buy you a drink!!!
Glad to help!
If that works make a nandroid backup immediately so if it happens again you can restore the working sprint lovers.
If you want to try cyanogenmod again re-download (could have corrupted before), and always wipe before you flash the .zip or it will bootloop.
Have fun!
You know what I'd really like to do is restore the Nandroid that I did right before I got into this mess. But I keep getting the " Error while flashing boot image" message. I'm charging another battery to see if that's the cause of the error. What do you think?
I'm not sure. Could be a battery thing. I know it does give an error if the battery is too low, but i don't remember what the message is. I think it won't do anything if it is less than 30%.

I got those errors a couple times when I first started out. I fixed it by flashing the rom I was running when I made the nandroid and then restored my nandroid over that.
Didn't I probably lose that ROM when I did the Factory reset?

No you don't lose your nandroid when you wipe back to factory. Your nandroid might be corrupt. It happens some times. I flash your custom ROM, set everything up the way you want it. Then do a nandroid backup. Copy that over to your PC to save space as it is a large file.
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?

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)

I should be able to flash a backup I made with CWM recovery in CWM recovery, correct? Or would I have to adb push it?
I moved to 4.2.1 but not a fan of it at this point and want to go back using a backup (4.1.2) I made with CWM, but it won't flash. So at this point I'm trying to save my photos, notes, texts, and my titanium backup of apps and do a complete wipe using wugs (unroot/relock then reroot/unlock). Or should I be able to get away with just doing a format on my sdcard/system/cache/data and data/media (options in CWM)? Since going to 4.2.1 I have also lost a significant amount of free space.
BTW I have tried TWRP before and went back because I didn't like the layout but damn if your recovery can't even handle its own backups what the hell is it good for? TWRP here I come again.
you know it moves everything to a folder called 0 on the internal memory, right...?
A lot of the following is probably overkill but what I'd do is...
1. Backup everything I wanted to keep when in Android 4.2.1 onto my PC (Nandroid backups, photos, music, etc.)
2. Flash the factory 4.1.2 image
3. Boot up to make sure it's working
4. Restore nandroid in CWM
Chances are there are easier ways of doing this but I'd be happy knowing that is 100% right then have the potential for it going wrong

Bud I have tried to flash it out of every folder I have access to in CWM Recovery
The folder's I have tried, after choosing install zip from sdcard:
sdcard/0/clockworkmod/backup/ - 4 backups in here but wont flash any of them - says no files found when I try to flash one
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ - can actually see 2 backups in here (ones I don't want, just wanted to see where they were placed in 4.2)
sdcard/legacy/ - no files found
But stupid me did just realize the CWM backups I have been creating aren't zips? So I need to figure out how to get to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and place my backup folders here. So I will be able to see them when I choose Backup and Restore - Restore
CWM can't see the backups in the '0' folder, it stores them on /data/media (or is it /media/data??) so unless you have a file manager with root access you won't get them back

My my my you are the man. It looks like it is data/media/clockworkmod/backups.
I am going to try to Restore my latest 4.1.2 nandroid tonight, after I had a chance to back every thing up, but I'm guessing it's going to keep the current file structure though.
The best way to upgrade to 4.2.1 from 4.1.2 is
1.Flash all factory images from fastboot apart from recovery,@ recovery step flash twrp 2.3.3.0 and you are all set to no '/0' bug,
2. Downgrade to 4.1.2 ? Flash factory images of 4.1.2 , just keep the recovery as twrp 2.3.3.0, at present it is the best possible recovery for maguro for handling the '/0' bug , it doesnot delete the layout file.
And restoring nandroids in between the versions can make every file very clumsy, take some time and flash stock images to get rid of that.

After downgrading you will still have the /0/ folder with all data. So many apps wont recognize that the backups are there available to be restored. You can just point to the "new" backup location that now exists in the /0/ directory.
Example: Titanium backup will tell you there is no restore data unless you go into preference and point it to the right folder in /0/.
Example 2: Nova launcher will not see the backups. Manually move them via Root explorer or similar from the /0/data/ to the /data/
..and so on.
I guess I will be flashing the factory image then.
1. Backup everything I need/want (photos, notes, sms, and grab latest copy of titanium backup folder)
2. Format system/cache/sdcard just because
3. fastboot - factory image (4.1.2)
4. Phone should still be unlocked/rooted (on current bootloader/radios correct?)
5. fastboot - twrp
5. Restore everything else
Or use Wugs to take back to stock, then fastboot unlock, root, add CWM recovery might be the easier way at this point. Restore nandroid and everything else. Then add TWRP and remove CWM.
Sorry trying to talk this out with you guys and wrap my head around what I am in for. I know it's not hard, just frustrating to think I could possibly lose some things.
Better Recovery TWRP

Hi,
I am running Carbon Mod Nightly Rom, I was looking at the Volume Blaster Mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563209) to raise the volume up on the external speaker. I edited the file system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x. Somehow I screwed the file up after editing. After I edited it and rebooted, it gets stuck at the Carbon Logo and doesn't go any further :crying:. I have a nandroid backup, but I didnt backup until after I edited the file (before reboot). So I'm wondering can I or how do I replace the edited file (snd_soc_msm_2x) with the original file. I have the original file on the SD card in the phone. I went into the TWRP Recovery and into file manager, but I could not locate the location of the edited file from within there (system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x). Can someone please help me restore this one file so that my phone will boot up or tell me how would be the best way of getting my phone up and working again ASAP. Oh, I have tried exploring the backup created with Nandroid Backup Manager, well I found the file thats corrupted and opened it with File manager, select all- then delete, then pasted the contents from the working file, and then try to save, and I get an error "Operation Failed". So any help would be greatly appreciated.!!
Thanks in Advance
If you cant see files in /system, you just need to mount it first. Otherwise, just dirty flash the same rom.

Dirty Flash? I'm new to all this, so I need some help with the slang. I can explore the contents of the Nandroid backup, are there anyway possible to delete a file in the Nandroid backup and replace it with another file?? If I can do that, then I can replace the corrupted file and then restore from backup. I just dont want to reflash the clean ROM and then have to manually restore all my apps, sms and photos...
If I flash the backup Rom that has the corruted file, and before reboot, can I use the file manager to pull the clean file from the external card and replace the one that corrupted in the root folder. If I can do this, then it should boot normally. Otherwise if I boot with the corrupted file it gets hung after it processes all the apps. (Gets hung on Starting Apps).
I figured it out!!! What I did was I went into recovery, and selected the recovery nandroid backup file that was corrupted. Instead of restoring all the available options, I unchecked System. So it restored everything but the system data. The system data already installed was from the newly installed rom that was working, so by leaving the system unchecked it didnt install the corrupted system from backup! I hope I explained this where you can understand it.
Thanks for all the help DocHoliday77!! I'm just glad that worked and I dont have to manually install everything back over!!

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 bootloader: 3.16.0.000
version baseband: 1.16.2133156.VA15G
S-ON
i only get empty text when using: fastboot getvar version-main
Please help me!!

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,
thanks for all the help, i feel stupid now - i had a folder too much in the recovery folder :/
now everything seems to work properly and im also on the right firmware
thanks again!

Hi Guys,
I found this thread and post my problem here cause I have the exact same problem.
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.

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)
