TWRP (couple of questions)

1. Does zips for flashing made for CWM recovery compatible with TWRP and vice versa?
2. When i made backup (with TWRP) and try to copy him to computer windows explorer cant see him (even with hidden files turned on)
But when i look over FTPDroid i can see backup files and able to copy them.
Why ?

1- Yes if the zip has CWM-File.zip
It is STILL compatible with TWRP
2 - What file type is the backup?
PS - I LOVE THE FACT YOU CALL YOUR BACKUP A HIM !!

TWRP recovery

.Win is actually a backup filetype, but never seen it in terms of Android.
I would try to make a backup with TiBackup or ROM Toolbox or MyBackup
Try one of those and the filetype output should be a correct backup format.

[Q] How to delete a Nandroid?

Hello there, second day with my nexus 4, and it feels so nice to get back to pure google Anyway....
I have set a Nandroid backup with my touch CWM Recovery 6.0.2 - If I wanted to delete an older backup? How can I ? I can't find any dated backup folder my Clockworkmod folder in file manager like I used to all the time before? Any help? TY

I could not find mine either.
Some people said its in media > data > clockworkmod
What i did was go back to recovery, select back up options and then chose delete.
That deleted them manually.
You should try that.

Thanks guys, the only way I managed to do so is from the Recovery itself under Delete options, nothing found in my file manager, or even a root explorer

Root Explorer can see it perfectly, did you go to the location I posted you?

Very odd TWRP Issue

Right, this is very weird...
I made a Nandroid backup (compressed) on TWRP for this first time, it completed successfully and then I powered off and turned the Nexus 4 back on. However to my surprise, I could not find the backup on my SD card. I checked everywhere (data/media...TWRP folder...etc). I even checked the entire phone (with root explorer enabled), nothing. However the backup was successful because my Available Space has fallen by roughly 1gb, the size of my backup. Does anyone know whats going on here?
Thanks in advance, really appreciate your support.

Hmm, unfortunately I don't get that. This is what I see.
Could it be because I am using a theme on my TWRP (the Holo one btw, which no one else has reported a problem on)...
Edit: Okay, I think I solved it...I went onto the root of the phone again this time, searched the data folder and was able to find Media -> Backups (see below). Why is that it appears here rather on the SD card data folder?

maybe because you compressed it? i dont compress mine.

Thanks for the help Simms, but after digging around on XDA forums, I found the cause and the solution (posted here):

There was a weird bug with TWRP that put the FIRST backup in /data/media/TWRP/backups (read: wrong). After rebooting the recovery, all future backups will go into /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups, which is where you want them.
Here's what I think happened:
1) Your first backup was stored in /data/media/TWRP which is not where TWRP looks for backups. So, TWRP showed no backups.
2) You ran a second backup which showed up correctly in TWRP, and was stored in /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups.
3) You renamed the most recent backup, and then checked /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups, and assumed the renaming actually moved the folder. I don't think it did.

XT1033/Asia Retail/Dual Sim/4.4.4/TWRP2.7.1.1 - Cant backup, wrong file size

XT1033
Stock Rom 4.4.4 Asia Retail
Rooted
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP 2.6.3.3
So heres how i ended up in this situation. I installed a custom kernel the other day and find it not to be useful for me.
Before i flashed the kernel i made a backup on my rom. I used TWRP 2.6.3.3 but if failed in the middle of the backup. So i used online nandroid backup. And backup was successful. When i find the custom kernel not not useful for me, I decided to restore the nandroid backup i made. Did not wipe anything. During the restoration I noticed that TWRP restarted.Then it prompted me to a No OS Installed (something like that). I wipe dalvik and cache i think. ThenI tried to restore it again and completed the restoration. When it booted, looks like i only did a factory reset, which should not be the case. I restored it like twice but same result. Now i ended up installing all the apps again. I was able to install some of the apps from Nandroid Manager. Only the apps and not the data as it took forever to restore one app, i have like 200 apps. I used TB to restore apps and data but it looks like it only detect 7 apps (all were xposed modules). Im almost done now but I have 2 apps that i want to restore but cant. MagicJack as we can only register the app one time. And i used temporary email when i registered which i already forgot. And also i want to restored one of my google account which i used in registering in some sites. Too bad i forgot the password.
So yesterday I decided to install TWRP 2.7.1.1 (with OTG support). i have installed it successfully. because i want to restore the old nandroid backup. I nlow made a titanium backup so i can restore the apps with data.
Now when i go to TWRP i noticed that the file size of the data is toooooo big. (see the pic)
When i hit the refresh it shows the real size but then it goes back to the wrong file size.
As a result i cant backup because the file is too large for my 16Gb USB using OTG.
Now im using the online nandroid backup again, and backup seems to be fine.

Learn how to read would be the first step

Probably it's something with the TWRP and OP6T encryption. I also faced this error not long time ago. Try to do the backup on an external USB through OTG.

As long as it is not possible to decrypt the 6T, you won't be able to do a full backup. Does also not work via OTG as the encrypted data cannot be read from internal memory.

It's because your phone is encrypted, but you can still take a nandroid backup using this thread.
