Alright, I faced this problem a few days backed, and when I did my research I found that a lot of people face this problem, or once in a while at least:
When you try to do a nandroid restore you see this:
Error: run ' nandroid- mobile. sh restore ' via console!
So you try to do it via adb (aka console) and you get this:
Error: unable to mount /sdcard, aborting
Frustrating right! You have messed up your phone while tweaking and thought you had the upper hand because you did a back-up.. but now you are dealing with this..
Here's the solution I gathered from web:
1. Check that you have USB de-bugging on under the development settings of your phone
2. Check that you have your sdcard partitioned to at least ext3.
3. Check that you did not rename your nandroid folder, nandroid's content to anything fanciful.
4. Check that you have enough power on your phone, at least 30 percent to be safe. Low power will disable the ability to do a restore in some cases.
Well if you don't have the above:
1. Go enable USB de-bugging under settings>manage applications>development>USB Debugging>activate.
2. Transfer whatever content you have on sdcard to somewhere safe. Then do a proper partitioning via the recovery, upgrade it from ext2 to ext3. Repair the ext in case there are some errors. After this, transfer all contents back.
3. Please rename all folders back to their original name, and don't rename them ever again.
4. Charge your phone with AC supply, and wait till it is at least 30 percent and try to do a restore again via recovery, if not, do step 1 - 3.
Trying to do a restore:
1. Do it via recovery, if everything is fine, it should go smoothly, and you got your upper hand back!
2. If you like to see words running in strings, doing via console is possible too!

"quoted from and credit to Slug from android forums"
Open a command prompt window (Start-All Programs-Accessories-Command Prompt)
Type cd/ and hit <enter>
Enter cd adb
Now enter adb devices and it should show "000000000000 recovery"
If so, enter adb shell and you should see the prompt change to #. You're now running as su (root)!
Enter nandroid-mobile.sh --restore. You'll see instructions about "Using G1 keyboard..." disregard and hit <enter>.
After a brief search, the default (most recent) backup found will be displayed along with any others located. If the default choice isn't the one you want to restore, you'll have to enter the full path to the correct one as displayed in the list. You can use the Edit...Mark... function from the command prompt window menu to simplify this, though. Put the cursor at the beginning of the required line, hold <shift> and highlight the test using the arrow keys. <Enter> copies to the clipboard, and Edit... Paste... places it wherever the cursor is placed.
Once you have the correct backup referenced, hit <enter> and you should see the script work its magic.
When Restore done is displayed you can reboot the handset from the recovery menu.
Alright you have got your restore back! Feedback or anymore tips to this problem are welcome! Thank you for your time.

so if we renamed the nandroid backup to something we will remember more easily, and that the problem, what do we do?
edit: how do we know what the original name of the backup was called.
Hi, did you get a Md5 mismatched or something? Please be clear with your problem. If it's a mismatch problem, make sure your rename'd folder has NO Space in the name.
As we are having a lot of Jelly Bean leaks lately, a lot of users want to share the Nandroid backup to others but sometimes they make mistakes which ends up in md5 mismatches or some of them don't know how to create a share-able zip.
I have tried to create this guide to enable them in doing so. Hope this will help everyone.
Requirement:
CWM Recovery
7zip, Winrar or any file compressing tool
ADB setup in your PC

Once you have applied the OTA and done a factory reset, Follow the process given below:-
If your have ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.1.2 (Believe me it is easier and better in Touch recovery - Get it from here) follow these:-
In CWM Recovery
Reboot into Recovery => Hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons together for about 5-7 seconds, release the buttons when you see the recovery menu
Choose -> Backup and Restore
Chooose -> Choose Backup Format (Optional)
Change Backup format to tar (Optional)
Choose -> Create image.zip
This will create an image.zip and an image folder in your Internal Sdcard inside the clockworkmod>backup folder
Copy the image.zip file to your PC, rename it to the software version you are sharing for e.g. GT-I9300-XXXXXXXX. Important do not put spaces in the name.
Upload this zip to whichever Filehosting site you want to share with.
*this image.zip can be flashed in CWM directly without having the need to extract the files inside*

If you have ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5 (Get it from here) Follow these:-
In CWM Recovery
Reboot into Recovery => Hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons together for about 5-7 seconds, release the buttons when you see the recovery menu
Choose -> Backup and Restore
Choose -> Backup (either Internal or External SDcard by default it will backup to ExtSDcar)
Your Backup will now be there inside the clockworkmod>backup folder, Copy this folder to your PC
Zip the Folder and give it a name for e.g. GT-I9300-XXXXXX (Dont use spaces)
Now you can upload this zip to any filehosting service of your choice

Well that escapes me..may be someone knowledgeable can shed some light on it..
Sorry..
Maybe the that provided with the firmware is a patch..I know OTA files are patches but can't say much about full firmwares..
I'm trying to do this using the terminal emulator in Rom toolbox and u keep getting permission denied?
(from what I understood we had two ways of doing this correct? A computer and adb or TE, correct?)

You have to type su in terminal to gain root access. It's just like a standard Linux terminal.
Hello here is a guide to Recover Deleted files from internal memory From Any android Phone
You Need
1.Rooted Android phone ( In my case i used Note 2 N7105 )
2.Install busybox ( Note : Install in /system/bin NOT at system/xbin )
3.Drivers Installed on your computer
4.Download The Recovery Tool.rar [ https://www.box.com/s/zw0sfprtlx4dqysd018o ]
5. Download Recuva [ http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download ]. This is the Software going to recover your file , or you can use your favourite Data recovery software . But i suggest Recuva
Steps :
1. Take your rooted phone . Go to Setting->Devoloper Option -> Tick on Stay awake and USB debugging
2.Connect your Phone to the Computer , Let the driver Install .
3.Extract Recovery Tool.rar to c:/ ( You will Find two folder AB and Cygwin )
4.Click Start -> Run ,
Type " CMD " Press Enter
5.Dos Window will open up Now Type " cd c:\ab\ " Press Enter
6. Type " adb devices " Press Enter
** Make sure it returning out Some numbers (IMEI) under list of devices
7.Type " adb Shell mount " Press Enter
Now this is something important , After the command adb shell mount it will give a long List you need to fine "dev/block/mmcblkop"xx" /data(or user data "
Note : The xx can be any number
In N7105 its " mmcblk0p16 " is data Partition .
The last two number (xx) will change from mobile to mobile . Just note the partition name . In my case its " mmcblk0p16 "
8.Close the CMD window . Go to My Computer->C:/->Cygwin->Open Cygwin Terminal
9.Type " export PATH="/cygdrive/c/ab":$PATH " Press Enter
10.Type " adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555 " Press Enter
11.Type " adb shell " Press Enter
12.Type " su " Press Enter
13.Grant Superuser Right on your Phone
14.Type " /system/bin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/bin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 " Press Enter
15.Minimize the window , Open another cygwin Terminal i.e. My Computer->C:/->Cygwin->Open Cygwin Terminal
16.Type " export PATH="/cygdrive/c/ab":$PATH " Press Enter
17.Type " adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555 " Press Enter
18.Type " cd /aa " Press Enter
19.Type " nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p16.raw " Press Enter
20. Now let it Run this will take long time for me it took me One hour to complete
21.After it Compltes Click start->Run Type " cmd " Press Enter
22. Type " cd c:\cygwin\aa\ " Press Enter
23.Type " VhdTool.exe /convert mmcblk0p16.raw " Press Enter
24.Now Close Everything .. Right Click My Comuter->Manage
25.Now Select Storage-->Disk Management.
26.In the menu select Action-->Attach VHD.
27.For Location enter " c:\cygwin\aa\mmcblk0p16.raw " and select the OK button.
28.Right-click on the name (e.g. "Disk 1") to the left of the Unallocated space and select Initialize Disk.
29.Select the GPT (GUID Partition Table) radio button and select the OK button.
30.Right-click on the Unallocated space and select New Simple Volume...
31.In the Wizard select Next>, leave the default for the volume size, select Next>, select a drive letter (e.g. K), select Next>, MAKE SURE to select
the 'Do not format this volume' radio button, select Next>, select Finish.
32.A box will pop up asking you to format the drive. You DO NOT want to format the drive at this time.
33.Right-click on the RAW space and select Format... MAKE SURE to change the File system to FAT32. Set the Allocation unit size dropdown to 'Default.' MAKE SURE that the Perform a quick format checkbox is CHECKED. You do not want to overwrite the entire new drive with all zeroes (0's) and destroy your data. Quick Format means that it will only attempt to destroy the index for the drive by establishing a new index. Without this box checked the Windows operating system will write zeroes (0's) across the entire volume, potentially destroying your data. Select the OK button.
34.A box will pop up saying that Formatting this volume will erase all data on it. That would be doubly true if you actually didn't check the 'Perform a quick format' checkbox. Double check that you actually did check the box and select the OK button.
35.Open the Piriform Recuva application. In the wizard select the 'Next >' button. Select the 'Other' radio button and select Next >. Select the 'In a specific location' radio button and enter: k:\ (assuming K is the drive letter you chose...) Select the Next > button. Select the Enable Deep Scan checkbox.
36.The application may take about an hour to do the 'Deep Scan.'
37.Once the application has returned its results you can choose which files to recover using the checkboxes. Select the 'Recover...' button and choose the location to which you wish to output your files.

Thanks but since Jelly Bean I have resigned myself to the fact that there is no practical way to recover data from the internal storage (the lack of a recycle bin is one of the very few Android's big flaws) so I keep my data on the 64GB external one. I reserve the internal storage only for whatsapp and viber photo and video, Navigon maps (the whole European set), apps and the few other things which are always kept there (like SMS messages, e-mails, Dropbox offline files etc etc) . Doing so I have less than 3GB free on the internal memory so I would be keeping my data on the external SD card anyway...
Now this is something important , After the command adb shell mount it will give a long List you need to fine "dev/block/mmcblkop"xx" /data(or user data "
Note : The xx can be any number

Data Recovery from a Locked Samsung Note Tablet.
Does the procedure posted by Capt.Nizam work for the tablet with forgotten password? Since it has a password on, the device will not mount on a PC or Mac. And because of Samsung encryption recovery through regular means might not be an option. How can I by pass the password and get into the flash chip to recover the data.
I posted the following on a forum with no response; does anyone have a better solution?
For the past few days I have surfed the web looking for a solution to recover my data from the Samsung Tablet 10.1 Note. I forgot the password I had and cannot loose the data by doing a hard reset/factory reset. There has to be a way to get back into the flash chip and recover data; even if it means physically opening up the tablet and removing the motherboard.
Since the password encrypts the data, the tablet shows up on a pc or mac when connected with a USB cable but shows no data.
Please, is there anyone who knows a way around?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, [email protected], you can try Android Data Recovery. It is a powerful and useful recovery software originally developed to retrieve lost data from Android SD card. All lost data or deleted files, including photos, songs, videos and other data files can be restored as you want.

hi there, i read a lot of theards here regarding IMEI, backup, restore and troubleshoot. until i allways belive that IMEI only can corrupt if you install other roms, not sammy stock one, but i learned its not so.
what i do:
i only replace the sammy email app with aosp one, secemail_j and secexchange. after i restart the phone and there wasnt any signal anymore.. try a seccond sim, but the same problem. i look in the settings and see IMEI unknown.
i didnt had any backup from my IMEI number, no efs folders no ext partition, nothing and i didnt install any other rom, its was the stock rom with device was delivered, i install only root rights. so i think it sould be possible that my IMEI partition is not corrupted, and i read somewhere here, install the stock kernel and it should be ok.
steps which i do:
1. download the newest sammy rom for my country
2. boot into recovery
3. wipe data partition
4. put my battery out
5. boot the phone in download mode
6. flash the new rom
after that my IMEI was back!! im was veryyy happy!!
7. download cf-auto root
8. boot the phone in download mode
9. flash cf-auto root
now i backup my IMEI!! only for i9505 devices
10. download the newest adb files
11. enable developer options on my galaxy(type seven times on the build number)
12. enable usb debuging in the developer options
13. ensure that the adb driver in my device manager on my pc was installed properly
14. copy a cmd.exe(c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe) to my adb folder
15. run cmd and type: adb devices
16. i see a prompt on my device regarding adb access, i allowed it and thick the option allways allow
17. i see my device listed and it wasnt offline so i type: adb shell
18. type: su
19. type: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/efs.bin
20. type: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/m9kefs1.bin
21. type: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/m9kefs2.bin
22. type: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/sdcard/m9kefs3.bin
23. copy that files from the internal storage on my external sdcard and that was it
in case that you need to restore your IMEI some times later
24. copy the stored files again to you internal storage
25. run cmd and type: adb devices
26. if you see your device and its not offline type: adb shell
27. type: su
28: type: dd if=/sdcard/efs.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10
29. type: dd if=/sdcard/m9kefs1.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
30. type: dd if=/sdcard/m9kefs2.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

[Help!] Update System with Terminal Emulator with Error "no space left on device"
I follow the following instruction to update my Meizu Pro5 with success for several times, but i got an error message "no space left on device" this time. Is there any way to solve this?
1. Enable root
Enable root by tapping on Settings-> Accounts-> My Flyme-> Personal settings (first option) -> System privileges and set it to open - accept disclaimer and confirm.
2. Download and successfully install Busybox (from Google Play or see .apk below)
3. Download and install a Terminal Emulator (from Google Play or see apk below)
4. Download the correct and desired international (i) ROM/firmware (update.zip) for your device
5. Download and use the update.zip (firmware) converter that creates the required system-i.img
Click here to download converter first
Copy system.new.dat and system.transfer.list (from the update.zip) to the folder “in” (see converter folder)
Then start the converting process by starting System-conVERTER.cmd and pressing option 1 [enter]
If successfully converted you can find the system-i.img in the ‘‘out’’ folder.
6. Copy the converted system-img from ‘‘out’’ to the internal memory of your Meizu device
7. Go to Settings-> Display-> Sleep and set it to at least 10 minutes
8. Start the Terminal Emulator and run (type) the super user command
su
A permission popup will come; give permission by tapping allow (always allow).
9. Now run (type) the command for installing the system-img.
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/XXXXXXX/by-name/system
Replace XXXXXXX with the correct partition system for your device
MX4 Pro = 15540000.dwmmc0
M2 note = mtk-msdc.0
MX4 = mtk-msdc.0 (OR mmcblk0p6)
MX5 = mtk-msdc.0 (OR mmcblk0p18)
Pro 5 = 15570000.ufs
Example for MX5 : dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system
Note: Pro5 might require: dd if=/storage/emulated/0/system.img instead of /sdcard/
10. The installation should start after the ‘‘dd if’’ command, but please note…
…it may seem that the copying/process did NOT start because you didn’t notice it, but it DID start.
do NOT type a new command or whatsoever, just…
…be patient and give your device 5-10 minutes to process.
11. When the process is done you’ll see a # at the very end
Your device should be unresponsive by now - this is normal
12. Now just shutdown your phone (hold power button) and reboot it
13. Once successfully booted your device should be running an I-rom
Once in Flyme again it is wise - but not necessary - to completely reset your phone. Go to settings->about phone->memory->factory data reset-> check both boxes and click start cleaning (this could take 5-10minutes). Always backup your stuff if necessary.
