Hello,
I was on a stock ROM and decided I wanted to try a custom ROM so using TWRP 2.7.1.0 (latest) I created a ROM backup. I had trouble flashing roms using TWRP when the ROM was on the extSD card and I had copied and pasted the file. Once I downloaded the ROM through the phone and flashed from the Downloads directory on the internal storage it finally worked.
So now I want to go back to my stock ROM. I have a copy of the backup on the internal and external SD card. Neither restore will work. Every time it trys to "Restore Data" it fails. Now I am in Recovery mode with no OS and no ROMS on the internal storage.
Any idea why the restore won't work and if I have any options with no ROM installed?

I used the ACER Recovery Installer v2.53 (if this is the latest) to backup my current recovery image to install my chosen ROM.
If I want to backup that (save the recovery image to SD Card or ext. HDD), where can I find it so if I'm planning to restore back my old system if I don't line the ROM that I installed?
flashed official PACMAN RC-1, then restored nandroid backup using TWRP.
Can't seem to write files in sdcard0 after that. Please help
I had this problem too
You must re flash your stock rom with odin
Hello all,
I am currently running the latest snapshot of Cyanogenmod 11 (M12) on my GS4 and last month I used Flashify to install TWRP 2.8.4.0 over the default CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery that comes with CM11. I did a nandroid backup to my external 64 GB microSD card and it would say that the backup was successful, and I could see it within the file manager and on my PC using MTP.
However, whenever I reboot into the OS, the backup folder gets deleted. I have then tried to backup only the /system partition to my internal storage, since I do not have enough space on my internal storage for a full nandroid. This backup worked successfully as I can access the folder from the OS, however I would still like to a full backup on my SD card since it has enough space for a full nandroid
Here is what I tried:
1. While in TWRP, I copied the newly created backup folder over MTP to my computer. After I rebooted the phone, I shut it down and plugged the SD card into my computer and copied the backup back to my SD card. However, when I placed the SD card back into the phone and powered it on, it deleted the backup again.
2. I reflashed CWM (same version, but newly downloaded and flashed using Flashify) and attempted to do a full nandroid. I received an error saying that the /data partition could not be backed up. Interestingly, I deleted an old CWM backup on my SD card, and after I rebooted that old backup was still there.
3. I flashed TWRP 2.7.1.0 and 2.8.3.0, and still have the same issue.
The version of CWM that I had before I installed TWRP would backup without issues. I am not sure if this is an OS, hardware, or an SD card issue, though my guess would be that when booting into the OS, Android deletes any changes that were made to the SD card that were not made in the OS. I am not sure how to fix this issue and was hoping someone on this forum could help, and I have searched other forums for answers, but haven't found one as specific as this, and solutions for similar problems haven't worked.
The phone works fine otherwise, I'm just worried that with CM12 M releases coming around the corner that I won't be able to install it properly with these recovery issues.
Any help on this would be appreciated, and if there is a better XDA forum for me to ask this on please let me know.
I figured out the issue. Turns out my microSD card is faulty. Sandisk will send a replacement.
Dear forum members,
Im having issues with writing to my internal sd card, here the descripption of what i did:
I installed the rom Phronesis v6.2, everything was working perfectly until I realized that xposed was missing, I decided to install it by flashing the xposed-v80-sdk22-arm, unfortunately I got a boot loop so i decided to go back to my original stock rom (4.4.2) restoring a nondroid backup.
The problem is that after restoring it seems that I lost writing privileges to my internal sd card, using es file explorer shows that the storage/emulated/0 folder is empty, but it displays that is using 16 gb from 26. Using the stock “my files” the folders are displayed but I cannot copy anything to it (failed to copy). Applications in general work (some force closes) but I cannot save any settings
If I connect the phone to a pc, i cannot copy any files from the computer to the internal or external sd cards, however I can copy from the external sd to the computer.
I tried to format clear cache etc and restore again but the issue persists.
Can anyone be so kind and try to help me figure out a possible solution?
Thanks in advance

1. Go to your custom recovery and wipe all (system, data, dalvik).
2. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash the ORIGINAL STOCK android 4.4.2 firmware via ODIN.
3. Root your device and flash via ODIN the custom recovery again.
4. Restore your nandroid backup.
5. Done. Good luck :highfive:
Hello Joku,
Thanks a lot for the reply, i fixed the issue by formatting the internal sd, wiping all (system, data, dalvik) and then restoring the nandroid backup, now all works.
Thanks again!

Hello,
I just S-Off using sunshine and flashed TWRP recovery. I am still running stock rom and everytime I try and backup through TWRP the backup fails on system image. Does anyone know why that would be happening. I don't want to do any new rom installs without a solid backup. Thanks

If you're trying to backup to sdCard instead of Internal it will continue to malfunction.
Til something changes, you can backup to Internal and set it to compress the backup so you don't run out of room.
If backing it up doesn't work, you can always use an RUU. As long as you can get into the bootloader, an RUU will fix any problem by flashing the official firmware.

I am having the same issue trying to backup to my Ext. SD. Could I backup to my internal SD and then manually move the backup file onto the ext SD?

Haven't tried that, but it would probably work. Thing is, TWRP won't see it on the SDCard, so it would have to go back into Internal if you needed to restore it.
