Hi I need help, I want to copy a TWRP nandroid I have from my PC into my nexus tablet data sdcard to restore a backup. Accidently messed up my build.prop file. So want to restore nandroid but my backups are on my PC. How do I copy them over while in TWRP recovery? Thanks!

If you have a microOTG cable and an SD key/reader. TWRP supports reading storage from a "usb-otg" source. If I can remember you need to turn that option on in the TWRP file mananger settings. It was not too hard to find.
Try copying the TWRP backup from the PC to the SD. Then attaching the microOTG cable, SD key/reader to the N10. Boot into TWRP recovery and do a restore from the "usb-otg" directory. Scroll down to the bottom of the directory list and you should see "usb-otg". Select it and select your backup.
Under mounts and storage there should be a Mount SD card and you can connect you tablet to the computer Mount it and copy them over

I made a backup with CWM and I want to access it on my computer to back it up. However, I can't find it either on the phone itself or the PC. I've enabled hidden files to show and that didn't make a difference. I have no nandroid or clockworkmod folders on the phone either :/
I tried to mount the "sdcard" in CWM (since on my previous phone that was the only way to view the backup files) but that didn't work either. Mounting through CWM doesn't seem to work, is there a way to do that?
How do I access the backup and how do I mount through CWM.
Thank you!
EDIT: Use a root explorer, go to mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/ and there it is.
Thanks, I've been trying to figure this out forever...
i usually do data/media/clockworkmod/backup and there is it
every time i do a cwm back up it saves to phone storage not my sd card and it dose the something for titanium back up help.

I don't know if cwm can save the nandroid backup on the sdcard, but in twrp recovery on the backup page you can select where to save the file. As far as titanium backup, go into your preferences and select your sdcard for the backup location.
Yes. In oudhs cwm recovery, you can choose to backup and restore to external card. In titanium, you can go into settings and choose the physical SD card as your backup path.
hi guys
i had nand backup with cwm. now i want to copy all backup data to my pc( as i always did for my SGS).
but i cant find the folder of backup...where can i find this backup files so i can keep it safe and release some space on my phone?
thanks
ClockworkMod stores its backup in a location you can't access from the computer. It saves the backups in /data/media/clockworkmod. You will need to copy them onto the sdcard before doing the transfer, or simply do an adb pull from that location.
F.Y.I. TWRP recovery saves your backups right on the sdcard.
there is an app in the playstore called cwm backup manager (not affiliated with cwm). it will copy it to the SD card. then just zip it on the device with Astro (or another program of your choosing) so you can copy it to your PC.
Hello
I have to restore a backup. TWRP sees the folder. When I select it and want to restore, TWRP says no partition selected. Can I do something? Or is it hopeless?
Edit: I got it right. Just trunsfered the Backup files once again from my PC to the phone. ....

A TWRP backup? Put it on the root of an SD card, insert it in the phone, start TWRP and restore from the SD card.
Actually I just dragged it in to the pc...now though it have quite 1 or 2gb size...it is showing empty...I think I forgot to follow ADB fastboot pull push command..if still possible to restore then it would be great...

Sorry, I have no idea what you are saying...
If you backed up your TWRP directory (XXX storage/TWRP/BACKUP), copy it back to the "new" TWRP directory on the device... it is not a single file, you need the whole backup directory for your device to restore.
When I took backup of boot efs persist...then I copied it in my pc...and formatted Moto g5 plus...but now since I have that backup file in pc I copied it in mobile ..then I tried to restore but it is not showing there... although it has stock persist boot efs inside that file...my question is how can I restore it...

You have to put it back in the TWRP/BACKUP folder
