Works! Thanks so much man!!!
Excellent! Glad this is here. Thank you!
Looks like dropbox shut down the links for generating excessive traffic. I will upload to another provider when I get off work
Feel free to upload to my server of you like. No throttling and I don't charge a cent.

Can you just flash zip file or need to extract and go through restore process?
My phone only goes into twrp after flashing a mod in the international section and I've completed the following steps below, but phone won't recognize backup on sd card. Can someone point me in the right direction?
1. Downloaded and extracted zip file
2. Placed unzipped folder in my twrp backups.
3. Booted into recovery and clicked om restore but file not showing up.
4. Checked to make sure twrp is not ready Only checked and it's not
**UPDATE** I changed to a different computer and was able to add the twrp backup to my internal drive, but still same problem of it nor showing up for a restore

I believe files need to be unzipped and the folder needs to be added to either internal or external storage. Flashing won't do anything.

When the file is unzipped is the folder titled TWRP or something else?
This should be the correct file path:
SD card/TWRP/BACKUPS/LGH830d94daed4/STOCK_SYSTEM2016-01-01--04-58-43

having same issue with twrp not seeing the backup. Kinda weird. Trying it again by downloading the zip on a different computer and extracting to the directory. Wiped system and everything prior so I am sitting on a dud right now lol.
edit: Found my issue though. Didn't like the folder in twrp that it was backed up into. Made a new backup (of nothing) and then moved the actual backup to that folder and it took to it. Easy fix. Restoring now. Thanks.
editedit: It failed to restore. Ahh well. Just gonna restore stock tot and call it a day. Thanks!
Yeah probably going to take this post down because only a few have successfully restored and every time they restore my Google Play Store has errors Downloading apps. I have to remove my Google account from the accounts page and sign back in daily. Probably going to TOT back to stock also. The only sensitive data recorded in the TWRP backup seems to be my serial number for my phone. Could be why Google Play is bumpy having so many different accounts under one serial number. I recommend all others that did the restore to TOT restore also.

Thanks for trying though! Definitely a A+ for effort.
If it worked as it should have, would have made going back to stock hell of a lot easier lol.
As someone with a mac who doesn't want to deal with reliving the whole TOT flashing experience, if anyone would be willing to PM me a system twrp restore I would be VERY thankful.

I built a couple of CWM Recovery Nandroid backups for all the folks looking for a stock restore image that is pre-rooted and devoid of bloatware.
Built on: 1838CTO 32GB US Thinkpad Tablet with Gobi 3000 WWAN. No internet connection made during boot. No account information entered. Superuser pre-activated.
You should update to the latest CWM Recovery port, i.e. VENTANA RECOVERY from http://everyrandom.com/files/files.php
BACK-UP YOUR OWN THINKPAD FIRST USING CWR
- and report your experiences afterwards!
UNZIP the folder to /clockworkmod/backup/ on EXTERNAL SD-CARD
Use CWR after a full power down, choose backup/restore, choose restore, choose the backup folder
There are TWO options currently:
NO BLOATWARE 0089 / OTA2.5 -- 350MB zip
No-Bloat 0089/OTA2.5 US Rooted Nandroid - NEW LINK
NO BLOATWARE 0075 / OTA1 -- 330MB zip
NO Bloat 0075 US Rooted Nandroid ZIPPED

I kept having trouble with downloading the files.
After entering the security code & clicking on Dowload File, it will automatically refresh the page & bring me back to the beginning again.
I tried both on Firefox & IE.
Which CWR are you referring to?
I can't locate the new port in the original CWM thread...I'm using the one posted in the first post of that thread.

I don't know why the site isn't working for downloading, seems like lots of folks have been successful. I ran in to the same issue trying to test the download. Any ideas from the forum?
CWR/CWM Recovery -- It is called ventana_recovery and can be found in US or ROW types in 16, 32 and 64 iterations at everyrandom.
http://everyrandom.com/files/files.php
New link for the No Bloatware Nandroid added to original post. When I can get the other Nandroid uploaded to the new server, I'll add that link.
Don't know why the other links wouldn't serve up... sorry all.

Is this the one I should be using for my 32Gb TPT?
It's labelled ventana32_recovery.img.
I don't know what happened but yesterday, I couldn't even browse the Files folder to view other files.
Thanks for reposting the Nandroid backups!
Yes, you've located the right one if you've got a US tablet.
The gps.conf is modified from the original file that shipped on tablet. This causes updates to fail.
CWM will cause OTA2 to fail during update. My apologies about GPS.conf, I missed that. It is a simple thing to fix.
Also, there are OTA builds that don't require the original files and recovery here in XDA.
I downloaded the 0075_US file. I am looking to replace a couple of system/app files (mainly PinyinIME.apk) as I deleted them before without a backup.
I want to take my TPT back to stock or run some sort of update without too much trouble as I plan on selling my TPT (need the money).
Is there a way that I can extract the files that I need from the 0075_US files that was posted here?
Thanks
There is a system dump provided by GodfatherIP at another forum, here is a link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6846397/System.zip

Download the archive and open it with winrar. You will find system.ext4.tar. Open it inside winrar and it will extract it. In the app directory you will find all system apps.
Copy PinyinIME.apk and the odex to your device /system/app and do :
chmod 644 /system/app/PinyinIME.*

pwstein,
Finally got down to restoring your Nandroid backup to my TPT.
However, I kept getting the MD5 checksum mismatch error.
Am downloading again to try and see if it makes any difference.
Do I need to preserve the folder name 0089_US_no-bloat_rooted?

Reloaded the 0089 package but ended up with the same MD5 mismatch error.
Tried this method to recreate the nandroid.md5 but my TPT does not have md5sum even though busybox is already installed.
Anyone has a clue what I can do to overcome this?

Off the top of my head, and I apologize if you have made this apparent elsewhere, are you using a US (or UK) firmware Tablet?

Do you think the CWR versions we're using matters?
I've since upgraded the CWR to the version you recommended & so I'm wondering if this is a factor.

I don't know about the different CWM Recovery. I wish I did.
After you have extracted the zip, the folder can be renamed but it should be placed within the backup folder, like:
EXTERNAL SD-CARD ROOT/clockworkmod/backup/0089_US_no-bloat_rooted/**files**
Hi, i would greatly appreciate some help.
I wiped my data/cache/dalvik cache/system before attempting to restore a backup made with TWRP v2.2.2.0.
When i hit restore, it reads: "restore completed in 1 second", "Restore Complete. Successful"
However, nothing has been restored, any suggestions please?

Update: Was able to restore /data using titanium backup to extract from the twrp recovery file. Any ideas why twrp isn't working? Should i just get CWM?
Twrp works fine for me. I prefer it to CWM.
Not sure what your problem was, though.
Working fine for me I have restored my back ups with no problem. Same twrp 2.2.2.0 not sure what your issue was.
Thanks for the replies.
Just remembered, I renamed the folder name after creating the backup, would that have any effect on restoring?
Also the backup file was about 1.24gb, could it be the size was too large? Though it didn't even restore components individually...
I don't feel I can wipe confidently anymore without knowing the problem exactly, any thoughts?
I just tried it. Renaming the folder DOES have an effect on restoring.
My back up is also 1.2 GB.
I always name mine before I back up. It should work fine. Unless it was from when you renamed it somehow?
I name all my back ups but I do it before I actually back up the rom. Maybe that is the issue. Name it before the back up even starts and then you should be fine.

I did this. Can I rename the folders back to thier originals, or do I need to use some other recovery to reflash my backups? I would need to know if there was way to determine the origial file names, of course. I have a data only backup renamed BEFORE savig, it works fine. Only the ones I renamed using my PC dont work. I did not make the connection till reading this post. Team Win may need to investigate this issue.

You can rename it and it works. The folder names are as follows:
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/"your device serial number"/"date and time"/
For instance:
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/036f586ce7bee89/2012--09-14--17-45-24/

Try what janedoesmith suggested, alternatively if u simply want to restore the data, this can be done through titanium backup.
You can confirm the "date and time" by checking the properties of the backup folder eg through root explorer

FYI: I just made up the serial number as an example. You have to name that folder with your real device serial number. Also, you can name the date and time folder with anything you want.
I know, I made sure my folders were named correctly. Fyi, any date/time will work, just need the right format. Procedure worked wonderfully, and to avoid this issue in the future, rename the file BEFORE you backup using twrp interface. I have not tested using twrp to rename AFTER backup, doesn't seem to be a need.

I apologize. I should've clarified. I'm trying to create an update.zip file that contains all of my backed up apps, via Menu/Batch actions, under Recovery mode. It's narrative says, 'Create "update.zip" from app+data backups'. I assumed this would do what I was thinking it would do.

Let's call it a bit of confusion on my part. Not necessarily unwarranted though, because it places both update.zip files outside of the TB folder. Since everything I've had it back up to this point was dumped in the TB folder, I never thought to look elsewhere.
As for the extra files... let's chalk that up to me seeing things?

Ah...yes you are correct. Both instances will create an "update.zip" on the 'sd card' of the phone outside of TB. What I do is edit the name to something like appsupdate.zip for the apps and left the other update.zip alone.

I attempted it a few days ago when coming from 4.2.2 to 4.3. It didn't go very well lol. It would flash the appsupdate.zip, lets say, and I see the apps get flashed, but, my recovery would reboot the phone. Bottom line it didn't work for me at that time. I'll try it after lunch to see how it functions when I have root and the phone is happy and stable lol.
What I did was just download TB from the play store and restored my apps from my backup folder once I got root again.

It threw me for a loop when moving from 4.2 to 4.3, due to having to change it to /legacy/. Think this had anything to do with it, or no, since you were in recovery?

Maybe, not sure. I'm going into recovery now. Looks like everything is installing currently. When I did this last time. It tried flashing and booted up without a prompt. It does auto boot up after flashing btw.

Hi,
I backup my system with nandroid using CWMR mode. I save it into my computer, then I wipe down my SD card. If I want to use CWMR to restore that backup, where do I copy the file to so that it will be recognized in recovery mode?
Thank you,

I backup my system with nandroid using CWMR mode. I save it into my computer, then I wipe down my SD card. If I want to use CWMR to restore that backup, where do I copy the file to so that it will be recognized in recovery mode?
Thank you,

Cwm backups be copied in /data/media/clockworkmod/backups, you can pull the data using "adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/backups"

Hi,
I already pull the backup.
My question is where do I put them back into the sd card so it will be recognized by CWM in recovery mode. Putting in back in the same folder won't get recognized

I use ES to see the folder but cant see it. Even though it suppose to have some other backup from rom manager there. Should I create a new folder?

What about when we create backup using CWMR in recovery mode. I can see them through rom manager. They have a similar path /mnt/shell/.. but using ES explorer I can't access them anywhere. Is there any way I can pull that out?

In Rom Manager, go to manage and restore backups, from there, there is an option to download your backup, using a browser from your pc

I tried that but I gave up.
Bought the license on play store but not able to activate. End up pirate apk from google, still doesnt work. Is there a way I can pull it out like nandroid backup?

Thank you. Do you happen to use titanium backup?
If I back up app+user data on my current rom, and let say later i do a factory reset and flash to another rom. Will the titanium back up still be there for me to restore later? If so, will I get the same app, and all user date like sms, picture onto my new rom?

Yes, u can restore your app data as long as you don't format your sdcard partition, to be safe, you can just copy the whole TB folder to your pc.
For sms, you will need to restore system data, which is not recommended when changing roms, maybe just select sms and restore from TB.
Pictures will still be available, again, to be safe, just copy everything to your pc, just in case.
I've been lucky not to lose my EFS data so far. But now I really need to back that up.
I've been reading about problems with TWRP, and I allready have CWM, which I really like.
Is there an easy "noobproof" way to make EFS backup?
For Samsung, there is EFS Professional but I don't know if it works with LG G2.
Another way I found is from another Samsung thread: Backup your EFS IMMEDIATELY, but same thing, I don't know if that'll work with G2
Any help, anyone?
Hi,
Take a look here: EFS Partition Backup and More [All G2 Variants] *Fixed*.
EDIT: I misread, you want to keep CWM...

I was thinking, I'd install TWRP through goomanager, make EFS backup and go back to CWM.
But if something happens, I should have TWRP installed to restore EFS?

CWM backs them up. The problem is, they only seem accessible/viewable in CWM. I can not get to the folder in a file explorerexplorer, yet can see them in CWM.....?

What I've been reading, CWM doesn't backup EFS.
Where did you read it does?

I used the zips, and did it in CWM. The folders are present and viewable in recovery, not upon boot. They are created before emulation/0 in CWM. I'm gonna go check if I can somehow move them in CWM... and check files. I'll be back.
Edit: Use the one that makes the zip. CWM shows it created and there, but I can not access it past this to verify it and or it it works and is correct. I am not going to flash it and take that risk.

I used the efsbackup zips in CWM.
I initially encountered the same problem with not being able to find the files. From memory I was able to get to the by using a file browser with root capabilities (in my case solid explorer) go back to the root directory then Data\Media. In there I found my efs backup files as well as my CWM nandroid backup.

The zip and individual files are there in their respective folders, as well other backup data. You sir, are my hero of the day.
The zip method is extremely smaller than individual files...

That's great news, glad I could help!
I've been wanting to post it in the development thread as a few people had asked something similar but unfortunately I don't meet the post count requirements to help them out!
I quoted your post over there.
I'm not able to move "EFS_backup" anywhere. I try, but moved folder stays empty. It shows "efsbackupflashable.zip", "efs1.img" and "efs2.img"
But they all are 0kb.
I found EFS_backup from data/media, all 3mb large.
Whit root explorer, I copied Efs_backup folder, to another folder in my sdcard, with root explorer I can see it there, but I cant copy it or to my computer.
How do I get it to safe place???
The other zip works too for individual files. I used ZArchiver to zip them up. Sent a copy to my PC with ES File Explorer over lan and uploaded another copy to Google Drive. You should be able to grab anything from SD to PC when plugged in USB. I replaced su with SuperSU a while ago. Actually get prompt permissions now. The OG SU on this phone with root method didn't play well. Also, make sure you show hidden files, PC and Phone explorer.

Thanks!! Via Root Explorer I emailed this for me and uploaded to Google drive. Size looks fine.
Now i have my EFS backup and I can continue my search for best ROM for me!
sorry for being dumb but do i use the zip from EFS Partition Backup and More [All G2 Variants] *Fixed* link and just flash it in cwm for the efs backup
Yes
And what if I just root my g2, download ES-Explorer then go to the root of the internal and just copy and paste the efs folder?
Shouldn't that work too?
