Recently updated my Nexus 10 to 5.01 stock. Installed TWRP 2.8.0.1 and rooted. I did a TWRP backup and in the TWRP file manager I can see the TWRP backup folder and the backup.
When I boot into the system and use either root file manager or ES File manager there is no TWRP folder visible. All I see is what looks like a file named TWRP. It has a question mark as the file type and the size is NA.
On my KitKat phone, I can see the actual folder and backup file(s) using ES File Manager.
Is this normal for Lollipop?.

Thanks. That did it.
Can't say I'm loving Lollipop though.
Thanks, easy fix.

I am using an unlocked and rooted Nexus 4 and am attempting to install the battery display mod. I have downloaded the zip file to the phone but for some reason CWM (through recovery at boot) is not seeing the file. I have tried moving the file to various locations including the root directory of the sd card but CWM still cannot find it. I've performed this task a zillion times on other phones so I must be missing something real obvious.
Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
bump........Anyone?
CWM will only show zip files. Did the file extension get messed up?

Hi,
My Nexus 7 (2013) has been updated to 4.4 and I want to restore an application backup file made with the Skipsoft toolkit when I was running 4.3. When I run restore on the toolkit it refuses to recognize the backup file I want even though I copy the name of file from the properties box for the file. Restore does show the most recent backup file but not the one I want. I did make the original backup on Toolkit 1.0.2. and I have since upgraded to 1.1.0 but I can't imagine that would make a difference.
Any help to get toolkit to recognize the backup file I want?
Thanks
I recently flashed the stock android lollipop tgz file on my nexus 7. I rooted it, and then wanted to restore my nandroid backup. But, the backup does not appear in the recovery menu. I couldn't also copy the backup files to the tarp folder (no such folder existed, and when I tried making one using es file explorer or root explorer, it gave an error message.) How do I fix this problem. Please help guys I am sort of new to the forum[emoji16]
Same problem here. It does show up but it's a 0 bytes file last modified in 1970 (start of unixtime)
This is on my Nexus 4 though. Flashed manually with official images from Google and rooted with SuperSU.
- make sure you're using the latest twrp recovery for your device. get the latest img file for grouper (nexus 7) and mako (nexus 4) here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2
- if you look around the forums, you'll find that people have had similar issues since lollipop. forget about trying to access twrp folder in android/es explorer for now (BTW droiderrr18 is probably getting the error when trying to create the folder because it's already there, just doesn't look like a folder and can't be opened, it looks like the 0 byte file looking thing LooieENG mentioned).
What you want to do instead is boot into twrp recovery and connect to your computer. you should be able to access your folders and files in MTP connection from Windows and move to your old backup that way. if not you can always use adb push command. the backup folder for twrp is storage/sdcard0/TWRP/BACKUPS
you can also do a new backup and find it, then move your old backup there to restore.
(side note: twrp also has its own file manager where you can see and if necessary manipulate your files, but be sure you know what your doing in there)

I have the same problem. I need to access its data.f2fs.winxxx files for restoring my backed up apps using Nandroid Manager, which cannot access the folder, even though the original folder (/data/media/0/TWRP) can be accessed from ROOT EXPLORER and TWRP recovery file system
Nandroid Manager looks for only /sdcard/TWRP directory i guess, thus is unable to get backup storage location. Changing the Storage location in Nandroid Manager also has no effect.
I need to restore my backup apps. Please help if u can!
Hi.
I have LG G2 32gb, D802, 5.0.2 V30a, rooted + TWRP.
When I flash some zip files TWRP says that everything is okay, but did not.
Apps that I flashed crashes when power on the phone.
I noticed that Root browser don't see that flashed files at all. ES file explorer see files but not as it should be. And size of files is 0.
Look screenshot from ES file explorer.
Looks like ordinary theme apks ?
Just install through es file explorer or any other file manager. OR flash the zips (if it's flashable at all) through twrp directly.
Did you read what I wrote? I flashed zips through twrp but files not flashed properly. Not just themes, and other files too.
Size of files is 0:00 B. Root Browser can't see them at all, ES file explorer see them but not as folders, as it should be.
Were those any flashable zips for your D802 LP? Or just normal zipped file..?
It also can be possible the files flashed weren't compatitable with your ROM. U better try asking in the thread from which U tried flashing these Themes.
And everything u flash is giving u error? Any popular keyboard zip (G3 keyboard for G2) or Tried flashing Dorminax Kernel for D802?? Do they flashe successfully?
I found files on this page:
http://sccn.vn/threads/app-lg-g4-port-for-g2-new-update-1-6-2015-other-device-tested.10437/
I did not try keyboard and kernel because I don't need that.
I just wanted G4 smart notice and home...
Themes are part of LG Home flashable zip.
I asked where I found apps, and all zips working fine for them.
When I copy themes and LG home with Root browser then works fine.
Do you have some flashable zip for G2 5.0.2, to try? Keyboard or something that 100% works for me?
I have tried to use ZIPme & Titanium backup to create a flashable zip file that are not currently running in my phone but they are all giving me options to create a zip file already in my phone, please help?
