Hey all.
I want to restore a backup i made earlier. But when i try to restore it it says md5 miatch.
I found a f8x for it but for that i need to reach the backup in the cwm folder om my sd. The only problem is. That the cwm folder shows up empty...
I set hidden folder to show and everything
Why is this?
Kind regards

I finally was able to move the backup and put it on my internal sd. Now when i do restore in cwm it says no files found although it is in clockworkmod/backup/
What todo now?

im pretty sure clockworkmod has recently changed the backup directory to /data/clockworkmod/backup/
youre gonna need root to access the folder.

Ok so i cant access the recovery menu on my evo it gets stuck at the htc screen but if i remove the sd card it allows me to go in if i format my sd cRd would that fiz the problem? Or do i have to erase a certain file? Do i back up my files from the sdcard or does the phone make the new file folders again

Just copy your nandroid from stock, delete everything. Format then you should be good. Other longer option is to unroot with pc36img and then reroot and nandroid backup on a fresh sd card that has been formatted

Can u be a little more specific?
Titanium backup works awesome for backups if you have root,if not then you will have to do a directory crawl with a pc and back up that way.

i upgraded my rom (paranoid android) and it has android 4.2 on it. but with multiuser support, the sd card contents got redirected somewhere else, but it didnt take my files with it. so now none of my apps see my files. i need to know how to get them into a readable place.
You should have done a backup with titanium before installing the new rom,then you could have reinstalled titanium and restored appa and data.The multiuser file system is a pita,install your apps from playstore and then find the directories they hold their data and transfer it manually.Time consuming but unless you have a nandroid of you 4.1 that you could install to do a titanium backup on thats the way to go.

I made a nandroid already. My apps aren't the problem. I only need to get to my old sd card contents. That has my app backups from rom toolbox.
So you need to move your rom toolbox backup from your old sd to your new backup location so it can restore?
You will have to use a file manager or pc to copy paste from old location to the new one ,finding the new one might be a pain but I believe the old one should be sdcard/romtoolbox folder.

I figured out where everything was. My old sd card stuff was under "mnt/shell/emulated" while the new sd card was under "/sdcard". kind of a pain trying to find it.
Good to know.
Cheers

I was wondering... If you do a factory reset in cwm, will it remove the contents of the virtual SD card? I would hope it wouldn't, but want to make sure.
Also wondering if it would erase the contents of the cwm backup folder, since that's been separated out now.

No if you do a factory reset in cwm it wipes only the /data and cache partitions so you can then flash a rom which overwrites /system, so everything but /sdcard gets wiped.
And what about the cwm folder? I haven't heard of it changing.
It's always been /sdcard/clockworkmod/

With the nexus 10, the clockwork mod backup folder is in /mint/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

weird, I went to find my clockworkmod folder and it's not in my sdcard. =O
I also can't find "/mint/" maybe you meant /mnt? but even then it's still not there. I did a nandroid backup, but I cannot find the folder.
Mistype, /mnt/
I know that alot of apps can't see that directory, thats "by design" from what i've seen... i'm using ES File Manager, have it set to root permissions, and have it set to up to root, and i'm able to see it there.

I tried backing up my efs folder to my sd card using philz recovery but when I do it and then reboot and go to the backup that I made the folder is blank. What is the best way to backup my efs folder?

I managed to back it up with terminal emulator but im not sure how to restore it if I corrupt my imei or anything like that so if anyone knows an easy way to restore it that would help me a lot lol

OK I have 2 backups that I made.
Efs.img
Efs-backup.tar.gz
I know I can restore them using terminal emulator but im just wondering if these were done correctly.

hey, so today i rooted my galaxy note 3 (n9005) using the cfire auto method. i installed cwm recovery on the device and tried creating a nandroid backup. it all goes fine until it says backing up /data then it fails. it does NOT generate a md5 sum file. so i want to ask if the backup i have is OK to use for future restoring or should i do something else. I really dont care about my downloaded apps, when i restore, i just want a stock device.
thanks.
No, unless it generated md5 sum there won't be any file there. Where did you try saving the file, internal or external sd card?

Oh, ok. Maybe try backing up again?
First time I tried backing up mine it did it successfully even generated a md5 sum. But when I tried to restore, the md5 check failed so since then I just use an external sd card for backup.
