I hope some of you guys can help me, didn't find any similar to my problem.
I am not able to restore a TWRP nandroid via TWRP and a CWM nandroid via CWM anymore.
The backup finishes correctly in both of the recovery systems, but when I want to restore it they don't show up.
I can't access the folders sdcard/clockworkmod/ or sdcard/twrp/backup to copy these nandroids to my pc.
I tried it via MTP: sdcard shows up but the directories aren't listed in my structure. A reboot doesn't solve it(either PC nor cellphone).
In Root Explorer the folders also don't show up.
I tried clicking through every folder I found when I was browsing my file structure on my cellphone.
Then I found a folder /mnt/shell/emulated/TWRP/ and /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/ where I finally found my missing files.
I can't see these folders via MTP, only via Root Explorer. So I tried to copy them to the root of my sdcard.
That took some time, no errors when copying etc.
The folders are not there. They just appear in the /mnt/shell/ folders mentioned above.
What do I need to do to restore my nandroids? What did I do wrong?

I downloaded the jboogie's deblur nandroid backup but now the problem is, i don't know how to restore it because when i get to clockword mod recovery, i have "backup and restore option" then i go to "restore" and it just says "File not found". the image files are in \sdcard\goapkrev\backup\2011-02-18.23.25.47
I also made a new directory because some people posted to hve the image files in that directory which is \sdcard\clockwordmod\backup\2011-02-18.23.25.47
But it still says "fill not found" also one thing, i don't have a nandroid option in clockwordmod recovery...only "backup and restore"...what should i do?
Have you solved your problem? I think the directory should be "clockworkmod".

Yup, that did work for me. I had the exact same problem. I didn't get to see the backup to restore.
Here what you should do. Delete the folder (Clockworkmod) in your memory card.
Restart the phone and go into custom recovery - restore/backup. Perform a backup.
Your phone will automatically generate a new folder Clockworkmod. After this you can just paste your jboogie's deblur nandroid backup in this folder and start your restoring the right way.

You sir, have saved my a$$, THANK YOU
This is a TEMPORARY SOLUTION for the people who messed up the EFS but still have a backup and UNABLE to restore it back after lots of tries.
1. Extract the EFS backup in a folder.
2. Copy all the files from the extracted folder.
3. Navigate to the EFS folder in the ROOT of the phone with Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.
4. Paste all of the files to that folder and tap on COPY AND REPLACE if asked.
5. Now exit the application. and wait for few seconds. It will ask you to enter the PIN if your Sim card had a pin if not than it will get the signal and it will start working normally.
GOOD:
You can use the phone normally as you were using before. No problems at all.
BAD:
NEVER let it REBOOT. If rebooted than you will have to repeat all of the steps again every time you reboot the phone.
I have flashed official CyanogenMod 10.1. I have installed the driver and using USB debugging. When I try to copy a file from pc to my nexus 4, this window pop up. How can I solve it?
That particular directory has problems with the USB Debugging sequence AFAIK.
For me my Titanium Backup folder wont work.
What I did was, I copy it to elsewhere that can be copied, then when I'm back to the ROM, use certain file manager to copy again.
I know its time exhausting, but hey, at least it works!
Just copy to somewhere that works.
Hey all, like the title said, I need to recover some files from a TWRP backup. But I do not want to flash the backup. I changed the extension to .tar and was able to browse just fine, but am unable to find the home folder which is where the files I need were stored. Specifically Storage\Emulated\0\ProgramData but of course this path doesn't exist since it's essentially little more than a link to the real path, so where would I find the correct path in a twrp backup? Thank you for any advice or help!
I recently flashed the stock android lollipop tgz file on my nexus 7. I rooted it, and then wanted to restore my nandroid backup. But, the backup does not appear in the recovery menu. I couldn't also copy the backup files to the tarp folder (no such folder existed, and when I tried making one using es file explorer or root explorer, it gave an error message.) How do I fix this problem. Please help guys I am sort of new to the forum[emoji16]
Same problem here. It does show up but it's a 0 bytes file last modified in 1970 (start of unixtime)
This is on my Nexus 4 though. Flashed manually with official images from Google and rooted with SuperSU.
- make sure you're using the latest twrp recovery for your device. get the latest img file for grouper (nexus 7) and mako (nexus 4) here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2
- if you look around the forums, you'll find that people have had similar issues since lollipop. forget about trying to access twrp folder in android/es explorer for now (BTW droiderrr18 is probably getting the error when trying to create the folder because it's already there, just doesn't look like a folder and can't be opened, it looks like the 0 byte file looking thing LooieENG mentioned).
What you want to do instead is boot into twrp recovery and connect to your computer. you should be able to access your folders and files in MTP connection from Windows and move to your old backup that way. if not you can always use adb push command. the backup folder for twrp is storage/sdcard0/TWRP/BACKUPS
you can also do a new backup and find it, then move your old backup there to restore.
(side note: twrp also has its own file manager where you can see and if necessary manipulate your files, but be sure you know what your doing in there)

I have the same problem. I need to access its data.f2fs.winxxx files for restoring my backed up apps using Nandroid Manager, which cannot access the folder, even though the original folder (/data/media/0/TWRP) can be accessed from ROOT EXPLORER and TWRP recovery file system
Nandroid Manager looks for only /sdcard/TWRP directory i guess, thus is unable to get backup storage location. Changing the Storage location in Nandroid Manager also has no effect.
I need to restore my backup apps. Please help if u can!
