well thats the problem when i go into it with root explorer it says emulated/storage/0
so i done a back up of the rom that was messed up and done a backup it showed that folder but withdifferent numbers as to that folder versus the previous twrp backup folder i took off and put on my pc
Should be something like this......Storage/0/twrp/backup/bunch of numbers/individual backups
Going from memory on this as I don't use twrp anymore

Anyone having trouble making nandroid backups using clockworkmod? I'm using the latest version of clockworkmod touch and stock 4.4. I run the backup, it appears to run fine, says it's finished, but when I reboot there is no backup files. This has happened multiple times, including getting burnt by modifying a system file and then finding out my backup is non-existent. I'm used to TWRP, but someone told me it doesn't work with 4.4 so I switched.

Maybe you are looking into the wrong directory.. mine is located at Device\Data\Media\Clockworkmod\Backup.
Hope that helps!

That was it, thanks!
I guess I'm used to TWRP where it is saved under /sdcard/TWRP, plus I was thrown off by the clockworkmod folder at /sdcard/clockworkmod
I just wasted a couple hours setting everything up because I couldn't find the backup
I have twrp installed and would like to reinstall the stock recovery. Anyone have a link?
I have Verizon VS980 (I assume i have a D802-anyone know how to tell?). thanks

Damn! I once backuped original recovery via flashify but now going to flashify app or to its data on internal memory, I cannot find anything anymore! That most certainly happened when I changed roms between stocks and AOSPs...

How do you do it using flashify so someone here can get us a copy? thanks
If you are rooted but still on stock recovery, you go into flashify and go to backup/restore tab! From there you choose "backup current recovery".

I have a Flashify VS980 stock recovery image backup on my sdcard if you want to give it a shot. Obviously the old I don't take responsibility if something applies here. Lol. I've never tried to restore it. Let me know and I'll try to PM you a link to my box account so you can download it.

Yes that would be great. thanks and I'll try it. if anything I'll have to reinstall trwp
ok, flashed the stock recovery image you sent thru flashify. Seemed to work but when I try to go to recovery it shows LG then at the top seems to give options then screen goes black and nothing. I did hold the power button for 10 seconds till it vibrated and rebooted. Phone restarted then I decided to defrost the app that checks for OTA. Now I'm stuck on the recovery section with a black screen I think all because I forgot to temp unroot before I decided to try and take the OTA:crying: Doesnt seem like the flash worked correctly either so I guess I'm going completely back to stock and lose all my info unless someone has a workaround?
THanks

I have a t-mobile g2 d801, I rooted then backed up my efs with freegee then installed nrg ROM. I decided to see if the restore efs would work so I used freegee to restore it. Then I flashed the latest stock rooted ROM and now I'm getting a reboot about 30 seconds after the Os boots a date my imei is gone. Please help

I can't give you specific help to fix this, but, I can advise that you make an extra backup of your EFS. Copy it off of your phone if possible. If not, just copy it to a different partition on your phone, so you have more than 1 copy in more than 1 place.
If you attempt to return to stock with T-Mobile flashing tool all the data on your phone will be erased. So moving a copy of the EFS backup off your phone is the first thing you want to do. If you can use ADB with the phone you can get a copy of it off your phone.
After that, I'd wait for someone with specific knowledge of this problem to assist you in fixing it. Assuming the backup of your EFS file is good, you will be able to fix your phone.

I'm in the same boat. I have my efs1 and efs2 img files, but no idea what to do with them. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

EDIT: Autoprime listed this method for restoring efs
autoprime said:
If flashable zip wasn't created or to manually restore efs img files run the following commands using adb shell while in recovery:
dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/efs1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1
dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/efs2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2

I tried that, but still have "0" as my imei. Perhaps this method could work for someone else in this thread?
freegee doesnt work, then you probably lost root
also try when wifi on
contact freegee maker with log. you may have found a bug.
try rooting again

Let me start off by saying I apologize if this is posted somewhere already.
Here's my situation. A couple days ago I lgflashed back to stock. All went well. I then rooted and installed TWRP. No issues at all. I didn't take an update, modify the stock ROM or even flash another ROM. Just ran stock rooted. Today, I pick my phone up, go to turn it on and I'm in recovery. No big deal, right? Well I can't get out of TWRP. My backups are still showing, but when I restore it and reboot the phone I'm right back in recovery.
I can't get into download mode either. Not sure what happened and everything was fine earlier in the day. Any thoughts?

I'm back up and running. I used this thread HERE and did the command through TWRP.
As long as you have a ROM on the phone, you should be good to go.

Mine is stuck in fastboot mode whenever I try to reboot it into recovery what files are missing? Anyone know why whenever I reboot it into recovery it boots fastboot instead? Any help would be much appreciated
If you stuck in fastboot mode. Just push
laf file through fastboot to your phone.

I'm so glad your back up and running again. I've been following your thread. And thanks for sharing the fix.
Does that mean that without your knowledge, your phone may have probably automatically updated itself (OTA) when you left your phone overnight? That's why you were stucked in recovery? Because it seems so odd that you didn't do anything wrong and it suddenly behaved that way. And I have read somewhere here that OTA just installed itself automatically without user intervention. So confusing if that did happen. How is that even possible?

I can only guess that it updated by itself. I really don't know what else it could be.

Not sure exactly what I did but I had installed a stock rom and while using the rom I got a software update. I tried to install the update and it said phone will reboot so I rebooted it. It took me to my recovery (Philz Touch recovery) then I attempted to reboot my phone but now it just keeps going back to recovery and wont go any further. I've tried to install another rom but it still goes right back to recovery after I reboot. Please someone help me out here. I'm pretty I'm not bricked but cant figure out what to do to get to my phone. I'm thinking I need to restore my phone back to factory and start again.

Hello, if you made a backup of your previous Rom, you don't have to do a factory reset, if you didn't make a backup in recovery mode, you can factory reset.[emoji4][emoji4]

Rule #1. NEVER INSTALL OTA UPDATES IF YOURE ROOTED!
Just saw your other thread. If you are not confident using adb just get yourself an otg cable, put twrp on a memory stick, mount the otg in philz and flash twrp from the memory stick. You can then use the terminal in twrp.
PS. A micro usb drive would work just as well.
