Hi guys, so I did a nandroid backup of my stock rom yesterday to try a custom rom and if I'm not mistaken it should have backed up all of my files and data in my phone storage right? But when I went back to restoring the nandroid backup, it only restored my apps. All of my pictures which was in my phone storage was not restored D: Do you guys have any idea what may have caused this or any way I can retrieve my pictures back? I tried using an old nandroid backup of my stock rom which works before but it didn't now
When I did a backup my backup folder is not there in cwm backup folder but I can access it when I m in recovery mode

Bro.. I dont thinks that nandorid also take backup of ur pictures and other media,because i did it twice but it only retrieve my orginal apps and rom not my media.. If u are adding custom rom than u dnt have to factory reset the phone just wipe the caches thts all...U dnt need to delete the ur media..
You told tht u tried nandroid backup.. Is it retrieve the media before?
if yes than it might be media already in the phone.
I am also doing nandroid backup again I will let u know my media retrieve or not.
it preferable to use TWRP.
ok bro I done my nandroid backup but it only retrieve the Data of apps not media..
tell me when u done the backup before is that retrieve the media??

Hello,
today i have just tried to install Windows Phone 7 on my HD2.
Before i have created an nandroid backup with clk cwm.
I didnt like WP7 so i've decided fast to return back to my old rom.
I didnt find my old clk installation files so i've downloaded some new one (same cwm partitions)
Now if i want to restore my backup cwm gives me the following lines:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image!
And i'm back in the menu.
Can anyone help me please? I have set up this rom for so long time and dont want to lose it.
Regards.
files maight be currompted ...just intsall everything from the begening and in the next time when u will make a backup copy the file into ur computer so u dont have to worry about the backup
Try flashing the rom clean, and then use selective restore to restore the data and sd ext partitions only.

I think the boot image was corrupted. I did copy it onto my computer (how should i have not, due to the sd repartitioning by wp7)

as my experience some builds accept restoring of nandroid from another build but many of them don't accept. so what is best flash your old rom, restore nandroid, then backup with titanium backup, then flash the other rom and restore with titanium backup.
Hey Guys,
I want to update to 4.3 now with the Tools offered here, but this time on my Phone are a lot of data that I want keep save.
So what is the best method to backup and restore them? Shall I use TWRP and save all of it? Or shall I use other Stuff.
I also have Titanium Free Version. But this will not save my Data I asume?
best wishes,

Hi,
TWRP offer "nandroid backup" which is a phone backup solution, it work best to restore everything if you system data goes wrong and unable to start your phone. It also means you cannot selectively restore certain apps that you want with TWRP alone.
You can either use Helium (formerly Carbon) or Titanium Backup to backup your user apps. It will save your data so no worries here. For Titanium Backup to work, you need root. Helium works fine without root, but you need to install the desktop client.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for this tipp:
so if I make Nandroid Backup and Flash new Rom (4.3) and restore a nandroid Backup it go down again to 4.2.2 or it recover just apps / Images etc. to it?

Nandroid backup works like a system snapshot, so yes it will go back to 4.2.2 in ur case. Pictures & musics in /sdcard (/data/media) is untouched, they won't be backed up when nandroid or wiped when you do factory reset. It's an isolated zone for custom recovery.
Hey guys!
So yesterday, I installed the app 'Android Control Center'. I messed around with a few settings and ended up in a bootloop. I do not have anything backed up in Titanium backup. So I made a nandroid backup in the hope that id be able to restore my apps out of that by using nandroid manager, but all of my app data were not extracted from the nandroid. So now im planning to restore the nandroid backup and use TWRPs file manager to remove that apk and its data. Are there any other things I should do to fix this problem? Will this work??
Guys, any help is appreciated!!!
Hardly believe that app can cause your system into bootloop... anyway, if you want to try.
Titanium Backup can restore apps from Nandroid backup, preferably CWM tar backup. However, this function is currently having issues with Android 4.3, so if you want to reflash the ROM, pick ROM with 4.2.2.
I believe TWRP backup should also works, but I haven't try it before. If you need to use TWRP, do it without compression & encryption.
IMO your problem can be a simple fix by remove the faulty app and reflash the ROM.
just reflash your rom via recovery, dont wipe, you wont lose any data
Alright thanks for the response. I copied my TWRP backup to my PC, extracted it and now I'm trying to copy the data folder from my TWRP backup to my ROM's data folder. Hopefully, this will work.
PS - I removed the app and i reflashed the rom but that didn't seem to fix the problem.

Hello guys!
I was updating from 4.4.4 to lollypop via OTA, then I realized that even if I run the stock ROM, I am still unlocked + root, meaning that the OTA won't run.
I did a complete nandroid backup via Wugs Nexus Toolkit, including data.
Then I wiped and flashed the new 5.0 via Nexus Toolkit, but when I tried to restore only the data it didn't work.
I decided to go back to 4.4.4. and do things properly, but now I'm not able to restore anything.
I am not bothered with the apps and stuff, but I had plenty of pictures which I forgot to backup, and I want to restore them. I even tried to access the nandroid backup files, but no success!
I was accustomed with the old CMW, where you had the .img files, but I got no clue on what to do here!
I add the picture of the nandroid backup folder on my PC ( I think the data files are splitted, but I cannot open them in any case, not even with 7zip).
The nandroid was executed via Nexus Toolkit, but I guess it has been done through TRWP.
Long story short:
1) how can I access the pictures inside the nandroid backup?
2) how can I restore a nandroid backup that keeps failing?

Maybe CWM does things differently, I don't know, but with TWRP, a Nandoid backup doesn't back up your SD card partition, so if you wiped everything, all your pics are gone. Sorry.
Yeah, I guess so.. Managed to recover something with DISK DIGGER (its an app, free on the store). Just wanted to write it here, so if anyone has the same issue can recover this way!
Hi. I wanted to unlock writing on my sd card for titanium backup on a meizu m2 note so I edited platforms.xml. I didn't worked so I deleted it because I had a backup. Something went wrong: I can't use my phone because I don't have permission. I cannot connect internet, use file manager, make photos, connect to pc. only call and text.
i made a factory reset believing the platforms.xml file were restored. unfortunatly it didn't happened and still same problem. someone could help me? thanks
1)where u backed it up?? if u have backup than restore is
2)before any opration do full research on it
there is a software called SD Fix that can do make sd card write able without any truble it just need root permission
if u have a nandroid backup than restore it and do fix ur sd using SD Fix
if dont have nandroid backup u have to reinstall stock rom.zip using odin...
