This is the third time this has happened now. I flash a ROM on my N7 then i look to restore a backup and it says file not found. But I've made a backup! How the hell can i fix this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Is the backup made in 4.1.2 and the new rom is 4.2 (or the other way around) ?
If yes, then I'm sorry to inform you that the path where the backup reside is different in 4.1.2 and 4.2 ... so there are some steps required to use the respective files. More than that, switching in between 4.1.2 and 4.2 will require you to alter the mounting points.
No I'm on 4.2 and did a backup of stock using cwm. Now cwm cant find my backup

What version of CWM.. This is a known bug on a older version. I would suggest you check that maybe even re-download and flash cwm again. Get it from cwm web site not the one in rom manager self install....
Good Luck
I got the latest one, i will flash the stock image again. Third time lucky! Thanks for your help

Just tried again. no backups found. but when looking in my SD i have a backup. What should i mount to be able to restore?

TWRP won't backup because apparently 'sdcard is not mounted'. The Nexus 7 runs on an emulated sdcard storage, so how do I get about doing a nandroid through TWRP?
try reflashing twrp i dont think it should behave that way

Make sure you're using the latest TWRP version.

Using the latest.
A settings reset did the job - backup went smoothly without complications after that. Thanks for the help!

You could probably use adb to side load a ROM and gapps, here's a example of how to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

For future reference, select factory reset, not wipe data.

Isnt factory reset, just wiping cache and dalvik? If yea, then dirty install isnt the best, depends on rom that im moving from.

factory reset wipes /cache, and /data (without wiping /data/media <--thats where all your pictures and rom zips are stored)
factory reset is needed when moving between completely different ROMs (you can get away with dirty flashes between SOME roms, but its rare)
Oh yea yea, I didn't wipe the internal, something went wrong and the file was deleted, but gapps was there and all my data was there, anyways fixed and got the new nexus 7, enjoying it, much faster and better!

I use Twrp and I have 2 back ups so far. One being the stock TW rom and another being my customized debloated TW rom. I went to create a back up and it failed due to lack of space. I have it set to back up to the 16gb SD card which has plenty of space but then I saw it was going to back up the data(okay that's fine) but it states theres 18635mb of data. Where is all that data!? And where can I remove whatever is taking up that much space. I'm assuming it's from my 2 backups but I can't seem to find it (due to I swear they are on the SD card already) so I'm confused to how it's trying to backup that much data . Thanks in advance!

Get away from twrp its garbage for this device. I've always loved twrp on other devices but not this one. My advice would be restore you stock stable ROM. Format your internal & external SD card. Flash cwm touch 6.2 or philz custom cwm . backup with cwm . then that should fix your issues. Make sure your on the stock ROM before deleting any files though.

I'm confused when you say format the internal and external SD. Wouldn't that delete everything off of both? Not sure if maybe I misunderstand what it means to format

TWRP. WORKS just fine. Use the 2.5.0.2 version cause the other versions do have many issues. Been using 2.5.0.2,since the very beginning, snd have had no issues what so ever. So I wouldn't call it garbage.

TWRP 2.5.0.2 is rock solid. Just avoid 2.6.0.0 and you'll be fine.

Maybe that was my problem then I used the latest that goo-im installs and it was 2.6 . Don't get it twisted like my post says I love twrp. Above and beyond any cwm or custom recovery its quick and does the job perfect. Does anyone have a flashable 2.5.0.2 handy?

The blue screen Lol scared me the first time downloading a nightly then I'll update ..fingers crossed
Backup and restore works as you would expect it to work fast. Gonna try and see if the format data still makes data unmountable. As it did before . Gonna wait till I get home near PC with Odin first just in case .

Well back up and restore work awesome for me, so glad to have that team win screen go away after a couple seconds! Haven't formatted data once yet, I'm glad I haven't, all my old back ups are on my PC
Just got back up and running after formatting data and having to odin back shhheessshhh. Damn I wish they would get this running correctly. To do a clean wipe and install in my book is formatting data. Doing even with newest 2.6.1.0 bonks data partion. Thank god cwm touch is stable ( slow as molases to back up and restore) but stable.

Hi, I restored a backup of the stock rom in TWRP. Now an update by google is pushed to my device. It is around 1 MB. Can I install it in TWRP? And how to do so?

Download the appropriate update zip from here. Yours is probably the 4.3-JWR66Y-from-JWR66V.
Boot into twrp and flash it.

You are able to install it via TWRP. You can download the file from the link above. After flashing you shouldnt lose anything, but make a nandroid backup just in case.

Oh sorry. Well yes you can do that, im just not sure what location that file is downloaded to. (Try googling, or maybe someone else knows where is located)
But the one from the link i provided above should be the same as the one that will be downloaded from the system update straight to your phone.
I have a Nexus 4 running on 4.4.2 update base ROM. I've unlocked and rooted my phone, with multiple root tests to be sure. I've also downloaded the Franco kernel. Though its not working, so I assume its cause its a nightly version. From the information I've found those don't always work.
Back to my question though. My devices is a Mako, which goes along with being a Nexus 4 right. So why is it when I downloaded the cyanogenmod mako latest ROM it didn't work? Came up with an error comparing device and product as being mako, and some status 7 thing. I did a restore and now I'm here.
I've tried to install it view clockwork recovery, and from the ROM manager app. Both came up with those errors. Am I doing something wrong?

It looks like you don't have the latest version of cwm on you're phone. Try updating you're CWM to the newest version. Or install twrp recovery ( newest version and try again.
Be warned if you install twrp recovery then you're backup made in cwm recovery wont work should you wish to use it.
Below is a screen shot showing you're problem.

Thanks. I updated clockwork and it worked perfectly. Though its extremely annoying that I don't get my apps and data and all that I would normally get when doing a regular Google based ROM. Is there a way to get all that with custom ROMs? Do I just need to do a flash of Google play store or something?

If you flash Gapps immediately after flashing the ROM, it should give you the options to download your apps and system settings during initial setup, if that's what you're asking.

You need to flash gapps package for google apps like playstore, gmail..etc. Link are often given together in the OP of the rom thread.
Excellent. Thank you all. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for those! You've all been a great help.

One more question. Kernels. I know some are ment purely for custom ROMs. But is there a place I can get Kernels for a stock ROM? I haven't decided on a custom ROM yet, but I'd like to tweak this one as much as I can before.

They support both, the exception being with CM kernels.
