format sd card
or
use a difrent one

If the rom name is like floyoginger 1. X. X u just delete the 1. X. X and just leave it like example floyoginger
Metal is here

For example:
Check the creation date of the folder where your custom Rom is in.
Rename the directory with this date.
Like: 2011-05-08.23.40.50

Redownload the file. Don't use the built-in download manager of browser, because file gets corrupted when internet link goes down. Use download manager like flashget, etc.

in first i have the same problema and i found that my microsd was with problemes.
so try to format sd or use a diferent one

ROM back -up?

Hope someone could help me out with this one, I just did a back of my rom using xrecovery. Does that back file get saved on my sdcard and if so where, and does it get saved as a zip file?

It gets saved at /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/ in a regular folder. The folder contains 3 image files (system.img, data.img, cache.img) and a nandroid.md5 file.

Hi,
AND don´t rename the folders like I did because then the MD5 sum does not fit anymore.

I always rename the folders. I find it hard to keep track of them by the dates alone. I always name them something along the lines of YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS-ROM-NAME-BASEBAND. That always works for me.
EDIT: But I NEVER touch any of the files inside.

You can rename xrec back up but dont put spaces on it. Eg; gb2.3_Stock or whatever you like but no spaces.

Renaming backups

I was wondering if renaming the folders that my clockwork backups are stored in would affect the files and make them unusable? For example, I wanted to rename my stock rom backup "stock rom" instead it being the date.

I have renamed backups before and they restore fine,
copy it
rename the copy to your "name"
restore
I used rom manager (manage and restore backups option) with a long hold to rename. More than likely you can rename it with your backup app?
hope that helps.

I don't know. I've renamed my clockwork backups before. Once because I thought it would be fine to rename it and the second time to confirm, and both times the back ups would not restore.

Copy it to a folder, then rename the folder and rar it that way you still have original name

In ROM manager, there is an option to manage backups and you can rename them there with no problems... I rename all backups as I am a crackflasher and flash anything that hit the boards!

How can I rename my backup?

I feel like a n00ber.. Well I guess I am with any device other than Samsung... So, since I can't see my backups in any file explorer, is there any way to rename them? Thanks guys...

If your using cwm using an explorer go under mnt>shell>emulated>clockworkmod>backup
And long press on your back up and rename it.

[Q]Where can i find the nandroid backup?

I want to save it on the PC,and put it in another nexus 4...but i can't find it

Which recovery did you make the backup with? CWM and TWRP save them in different spots.

With Solid Explorer? Try a different file manager. You could always just upload the backup to the cloud and download it on your PC lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

how lol?
btw i have to copy all the clockwork folder or just the folder inside the backup folder?
i guess i need also the blob folder with all that files in it..

Just the backup folder. If you open up the blobs folder inside there will be many more EMPTY folders (at least for me).

If restoring it on your other Nexus worked, then you don't need the blob folder.

i get error while restoring system...
maybe because i'm trying to restore the nandroid in another nexus 4? or it doens't matter?

Check the permissions in your mnt/sdcard whether owner and group are root and the there are full read write permissions.
You can always cloud upload and download and
Yes you need the blobs folder. I assume you have cwm6 and the blobs folder has important files..
