[Q] Recovery question - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey this a very stupid question but id appreciate it if someone helped me out. so ive made nandroid back ups of all the roms ive flashed till now, and ive kept them on my computer. my question is, what is the correct procedure to shift these nandroid back ups from my computer to my phone and restore them properly?
i use twrp 2.6.3.4
LG G2 D802 Black 32 GB International

With twrp, simple copy folder on pc to store.
then, copy back from pc to same folder on phone,
reboot to recovery and restore works fine

sorry i didnt understand the first part?
and do we not need to worry about md5 sum?

ok, how you copy it to PC first? (or nandroid do this automatically?)
i think, that nandroid backup to sd, and you copy it to pc...
just copy back, go get to recovery, press restore, and you will see your backup.
do you have recovery installed, like twrp or cwm ?
i copy whole folder, maybe it have md5, maybe not..

i have twrp installed.
i made the nandroid back up via recovery. after it was done i used root browser, went to sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/02f44b000ed16413/
then i just copied the back up inside the last folder to my computer via usb and then i deleted the back up on the phone. the path above is still intact.

just copy this folder back to phone, reboot phone into recovery (twrp), and hit restore button.

moved my nandroid files can't restore?

I moved my nandroid files onto my PC and moved back to the phone and now I can't restore my nandroid backup flashing from the recovery screen, what the heck am I doing wrong
can I just adb push the backup?

make sure the path to your backup is correct then try re flashing the recovery image. either that or your backup got corrupted when you copied it. this has happened to me a few times..

Did you copy the Nandroid folder into the SD root? I've copied the Nandroid folder to the computer plenty of times and transfered back over to the phone with no problems.

Cant restore nandroid backup with CWM (solved)

Hello,
When I try to resore my nandroid backup with the google nexus 7 toolkit (by mskip) after the files are pushed It says that i must click on "backup and resore" and than "restore" (in cwm recovery). When i do that I get the error "could't open directory. No files found". I tried to reboot into recovery a couple of times, but nothing changed. I also clicked on "fix permissions", but that didn't help too. Could someone please help a poor noob trying to restore his nandroid backup?:fingers-crossed:
Anyone?
Where are the files being pushed? I believe CWM needs them in /data/media/clockworkmod, not /sdcard/clockworkmod.
Thanks for your reply,
After looking at your reply, I put my backup in the folder you mentioned and tried to do the restore. Sadly, that did not work. So I tried to make a backup of the rom I was currently running to see where that gets saved. Seems to be a "backup" folder in the folder you mentioned. after moving the backup there it worked fine, thanks.

Quick restore question

Hello everyone. I now have the TWRP Nougat back up on my computer and want to restore it on my phone but how do I do it? I replaced the BACKUPS folder with the downloaded one and it can't find anything to restore..
Edit: I now realized that I need to flash the restore point, right?

Go to twrp, do any small backup(boot), connect to pc, copy from pc your old backup.
F.e.:
Sdcard/twrp/backups/serialNo/2017...... name of backup/here shuld be files.

Need help with TWRP

Hi, i have a problem and would like to know what i can do.
Before I did a data format in order to flash the XXX rom, ive moved some of my folders to my computer, unfortunately i didnt backed up my music folder.
I did a few days ago a full twrp backup.
Do folders are backed up when you do a twrp backup? Is there a few to to retrieve onlt this folder from the twrp back up or do i need to restore my back and is it safe to do currently with this rom?

can't extract apps from nandroid made otg with twrp

My phone was stuck in a bootloop where it could only get to recovery. Using the recovery I created a nandroid backup to the a USB stick using an OTG cable. I flashed the stock firmware and got things setup but I can't restore individuals apps from the nandroid. I copied the nandroid from the usb to sd card but it still doesn't work. I tried restoring apps using Nandroid Manager but when the app is launched it gives the error "app has stopped, close app". For some reasons sms succesfully restored but no user apps. I tried restoring with AppExtractor but it gives the error "unable to generate apk listing"
I also have titanium backup pro but couldn't get it to find the location of the nandroid to try extracting with it.
Any ideas? I really just want my messages back from Whatsapp.
My phone had stock Nougat with busybox installed and elementalx kernel. It should be the same environment now as when the backups were made.
@twoplustwo can you tell us why your phone went into bootloop ? If you know then you can restore /data from TWRP and revert the cause of bootloop..
Also can you confirm it's in capital letters as you have mentioned in small letters in another thread that twrp/backups rename them to TWRP/BACKUPS or move them to internal storage.. (in stock ROM if i am not wrong, TWRP folder is not accessible, so try to install custom ROM for temporary purpose, then move backup to internal and then try with titanium backup..)

yes it was in capital letters
the problem in the first place that sent the phone into a bootloop was I installed the OTA security update. I'm running stock rom but I guess because it was rooted and had busybox, that made it incompatible with the update?

If you have TWRP and take update, it don't cause bootloop, but it cause your device to boot into recovery when you turn on your device.. can you confirm if it was bootloop or problem of booting to TWRP ?
I am unable to copy the nandroid to internal storage. I tried using usb to computer and it just does nothing. I tried root explorer and it says 'copy failed' and file manager says 'cannot load'. This only happens with the TWRP folder inside the internal memory specifically.

I can confirm it was only booting TWRP. So even when I tried to boot to system it just booted to TWRP again.

You don't need to worry,
Do you have any important data for any app currently ?
Take backup of new important data with titanium.. (and then again take backup from TWRP, for safety )
And then simply restore /data from TWRP backup, it will give you older data back without any bootloop but you will loose new data/messages that you got after flashing/ on current running ROM..

Thank you sir! To confirm, when backing up to USB stick with OTG, does the format of the USB matter? Is fat32 safe?

Not familiar with different formats, it should work.. bu t
You can backup to internal storage too, since you don't have to flash fastboot ROM again..
