Hey guys, so I'm in a bootloop and can't boot into my phone. I had a Nandroid backup on my Nexus 4 but I recently deleted it because I was running out of storage, so I moved it to my PC. So my question is, is there a way to use that Nandroid backup on my PC to restore my phone?

Yes. You boot in recovery, and use "adb push" to push the nandroid backup to your storage. Are you using TWRP or CWM?

Then you have to push your backup to this location:
mnt/shell/emulated/clockwordmod/backup

This is because as of cwm 6, it saves backups as blobs. When you backup, it will only backup what is different from other backups, and keep the rest as a general backup in a blob.
This is done to save space and reduce the time it takes to backup
So I wouldn't worry, it will restore fine providing you don't delete the blobs it needs
That's my understanding of it anyway

You can change your backup format to tar and then backup. It'll skip creating blobs and backup in tar files.
UPDATE: Sorry, this isn't working for Nexus 7

The problem I have with the blob method is that CWM was using 2 GB of storage for just two backups. So I switched to TWRP but now that I know about the tar option in CWM, I'm switching back.

I reinstalled CWM (Pro) but I just cannot find anywhere to change the backup setting to tar. I looked in the app, app settings, and recovery.
Can you please provide details on how to set the backup mode to tar ?

Sorry People, I just got my Nexus 7 in hands recently. My early phone is a Galaxy R which has this option of choosing backup format as tar in CWM 6. Thought it might well be the same for Nexus 7. Sorry again for posting misleading information. Hope not to repeat again.
I'm trying to understand where my nandroid backups are located. With both updated recoveries (TWRP and CWM) I make successful backups but when I open file manager I am unable to find my backups in their correlating folder. Ive already been burned with TWRP when I factory reset to install a new ROM. I went to revert to my backup and it was not recognized by TWRP. I'm having same issue with CWM.

with a root file explorer, or in your recovery, look in /data/media/0/
Never mind. With the help of TWRP website I found the answer. Here is the link to their explanation of what happens on 4.2 ROMs. http://teamw.in/androidmultiuser

When I enter into CMW recovery, and click restore, it only shows the backups i have created in recovery mode, well before flashing a new rom I made a backup with Online Nandroid, but I can't seem to restore it because it doesn't show up in the restore recovery screen. Also, I can't seem to find the path for the restore files from the recovery backups.

Not familiar online nandroids at all, but I'm guessing it stores it somewhere other than /data/media/clockworkmod. You'll have to move the nandroid to the default CWM folder most likely.

Sadly that did not work, it backups with .tar files that CMW isn't capable of reading.. So, I have to use a previous restore.

Bummer. As a last resort you don't happen to have CWM set to back up as "dup" under backup type do you?

I made a backup of my phone using twrp. When I used it to restore it didn't restore my phone to how I had it, it made me set it up like when I first got it. Anything I am doing wrong?
