By documents i assume you mean your internal storage, the 32gb? That's how you made it sound.

You can extract the app and its data using titanium backup

Download directory is not backed up by any recovery. It's just there in either your phone or sdcard storage

Yes, the Bootloader (pink screen) default file system is FAT32.
In case you lost the bootloader contents, just create a folder called "image" and copy the following files to that:
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97
Hello Katu!
Thanks for the answer yesterday!
Formatted in FAT32, but I'm not sure what the size of the allocation unit.
Can you help me ... again??
Thanks

My U8800 has also a /image/cust. This /cust has the data and parameters of net operator TMN. Is not necessary?
Thanks

It is required, but in that folder the stock Rom usually backs-up critical stuff... don't delete it or anything!
If you don't have that folder, it's not a tragedy, because a fresh install of a stock Rom will create that folder for you.

Yeah, cust_data is the one I was referring at. You'll notice that inside that folder there is another folder with the initial letters from each Stock Rom (for example my is "ee", which stands for Estonia Elisa).

And in the mine is /cust_data/tmn/pt/ here 9 data folders. (TMN of Portugal)

I think the stock Rom will create that if I have de /cust phone folder. It's this folder I must'nt delete.
But now I'm not a stock Rom, I have 3 Oxygen versions, a MIUI and a CM7 backups. I restore one of them wen I want . If I want I can delete /cust and no problems is'n it?

Do not delete that folder! I wouldn't touch that just for fun...Leave it there, it won't affect your Roms in anyway.
The fact that you can restore Oxygen doesn't have anything with that folder. Your backups for Oxygen etc are on the SD card.
I personally think that some relevant info used by all Roms is actually located there, so I wouldn't delete that folder just for fun.

Oh yes yes
Now I remember, when I made a backup or restore there are the files /data /system etc. and also /cust. It's important.

what is wrong can some one help us
waiting for u help thanks in advance guys
little thing i extracted the nand zip and posted it in the root of the sd card
nandroid backups must be placed on sd card in /clockworkmod/backup/
also note that there must be a sub-directory within /clockworkmod/backup that contains the nandroid files
such as: /clockworkmod/backup/my_nandroid/ <--- your nandroid files go in here
thanks alot zyxwvut
No problem I hope you got it all sorted.
Ya know, without these threads I would've been stuck with an expensive paper-weight a long time ago. It's all about being a community and helping each other. Thats what we try to do here

I'm having an error too, try to do this but still get the error when trying to install the nandroid backup.
Here is what i did:
I place the zip file on sd card in /clockworkmod/backup/
also I unzip the file and place the files under: /clockworkmod/backup/my_nandroid
after trying to instal the zip i get this error: "E:Error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh
(Result: No such file or directory)"
I guess I'm either doing something wrong or the zip file is missing something!
im having the same here
cant run nandroid/flash rom/factor reset via cwm
I have CWM installed and have been able to flash roms in the past. But now, when ever i try to flash a rom, run a nandroid backup, or a factory reset… it just basically wipes out my user info. Goes back to stock with all of my applications still loaded so i get bazillion force closes. I have verified my nandroid and it is good… i just cant get cwm to load it. Any ideas? thx in advance!

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
There is no better ROM
Actualy, we should try both CM7 and CM10 and choose what to use, I've chosen CM7 because I've had problem with 3G connection on CM10, it's slow and I cound't actvate wifi tether without doing a workaround.

Accidentally deleted my wifi.conf file. Pls help!

Hello and Happy New Year,
I made a n00b mistake and accidentally deleted my system/etc/wifi/wifi.conf file when I was trying to move/rename it and the wpa_supplicant.conf files in order to fix my wifi issue.
I'm unable to find this file anywhere. Is there anyone else using the SGH-i337M model handset that can send me theirs?
Please and thank you!
Just flash the latest stock firmware (if it's available) OR do a data factory reset in stock recovery and that should fix it. Of course you might lose everything so make a backup first.

I've already done that. It hasn't shown up after any firmware flashes, stock or custom.
I've also tried just extracting it via the ext4 packages but can't find it.

I'm having a very similar problem in that i think some files from my EFS folder got deleted somehow. I've done the same thing you have and no luck. I found a post once on XDA with a guy who shared his EFS folder but then the post was removed because you then got his IMEI number if you copied all the files over. I would love to get a copy of that zip folder.

Why? Flashing someone else's efs partition on your device will brick it.

the zip file contained the "/efs" folder only, it wasnt his partition.

after multiple flashing and reading, i found out that you can only view the EFS folder with a file explorer that supports root (root explorer, root browser, es file explorer...), otherwise it always shows empty.

Hi,
You can try with Philz Recovery instead of CWMRecovery.
You can also try to open your backup file on PC to see if there is some files inside
