Hi Everyone,
I have an P5110 running stock Samsung 4.04 ICS firmware it's rooted and has cwm touch recovery installed and titanium backup pro (root) installed.
My question is this how do i verify a Nanodroid backup ?
I have read it checks the backups before a restore.
However, When running version 5.xx of CWM recovery it failed twice to restore data and since i couldn't i find a way to check the data before i restored it.
Data was overwritten, however cwm reported a fail to write to data, and sure enough no data had been written but /data had been formatted.
Is their a way to verify a backup before i choose to restore it ?
i am now using ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0
thanks

So my Nexus was acting really slow (I'm on 4.2.1), so I decided to backup via CWM and then factory reset, and do an Advanced Restore to restore my data. I backed up and did factory reset, but when I went to restore my backup, it couldn't be found. Apparently 4.2 moved the default CWM location to search "data/media/" and I didn't have my backups there (obviously). So I moved the clockworkmod folder from /sdcard/ to data/media/ and tried to restore. It gave me an MD5 mismatch, so I researched that, found a solution, and did restore. Unfortunately, that bricked my Nexus 7 so I had to restore via the ToolKit.
My question is…is there any possible way I can restore my data to my now factory-fresh (4.2.1) Nexus 7 from the backup I made? I have the backup and the blobs.
Bump, the same thing just happened to me and I dont want to create a new thread. Is there any way to restore a 4.1.2 backup from a device running 4.2.1? Thanks in advance
EDIT: I solved it by booting into CWM and then pushing the rom, full wiping and installing again
Hi everybody,
First of all I want to say thanks to this community because I found a lot of informations here and solved many problems I had.
I searched all the day and I don't know what to do with the issue I get now...
I decided to install JellyBlast V3 on my Galaxy Y GT-S5360. Before that I made a backup of my stock ROM with ClockWorkMod (v5.0.2.6) and then I installed JBV3.
All was allright and I wanted to restore my datas only from the backup with the CWM advanced restore. That didn't work (Maybe because I can't restore datas from a different ROM?)
So, I wanted to make a complete restore from the same backup to get all my datas back, but I get the following message :
"data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /scard/.android_secure.
Restore complete!"
The phone can boot up but my datas are not restored at all.
I explored the backup folder and there is no "data.img"... but in some resolved threads I read people didn't have it neither... and I am a big optimist so I kept searching...
I tried to restore again but with another zip file of CWM (who resolve some bugs) I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27475895
But It failed again with the same issue.
I read that if the kernel changed the restoring is not possible anymore so a previous kernel have to be installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27475895 )
To be sure, I installed a stock ROM with Odin by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800
I picked the S5360_XXKL3_OXXKL1_XXKL3 bundle.
Since I installed the fresh ROM I tried to restore datas again, but I got the same issue again...
So, I want to understand why I get this error ?
Maybe flashing with a stock ROM is not enought to replace the present kernel by the original one ?
Thanks for enlighted me (and sorry for my english)
By any chance is your CWM called gt-s5360CWM or something
You have to backup with a clean CWM and restore with the same clean CWM

Indeed, the first CWM I used to create the backup was "GT-S5360_CWM.zip" but the restore doesn't work.
The second CWM I tried is called "CWM_bla_bla.zip" and the restore failed with this one too.
I think the backup I made is not proper
Thank you for your help.
PS : if my backup is corrupted, is there a way to recover at least my contacts with a backup explorer or something ?
EDIT : I think my backup is definitely not good, I made another one with the "unbugged" CWM and It makes more files including a "data.rfs.tar" file...
hi !
i ran into a problem and i couldn´t find a working fix(if any) by myself, hope the community can help.
i had an issue with corrupted efs. i was able to restore efs from an older backup i made with twrp - phone is working again.
i then restored my latest backup which is made with the online nandroid backup app.
it restores but all my apps, settings - everything beside custom boot animation is gone.
when i open the backup in the nandroid backup manager manager, i am able to restore apps manually, so they are present in this backup.
in twrp, normally it says "backup completed". this does not happen, at the end of the process the ui resets(teamwin splashscreen showing) but no error is shown.
already wiped, flashed stock rom and twrp again with odin.
thanks for helping

it´s the international 9005, snapdragon.
i use x-note 6.0 rom.
problem solved.
it didn´t have anything to do with the efs corruption.
all online nandroid backups i made were faulty.
tried several things to make it work.
seems like reinstalling busybox finally fixed it.
Hi again. I did a factory reset on my device. But now I am not able to restore the backup file. When I go to the restore section in TWRP i don't see my backup file. What do I do? Please help
