I've created a Nandroid backup and transferred the img files to my Win7 PC for storage. Is it possible to mount the Nandroid img files with any Windows utility (to extract the files in data.img). It appears not to be iso or tar format.
Try power archiver or an image mounting utility like magic disc or alcohol.
I want to downgrade from CMW 6.x (that comes with KernelPanic) to CWM 5.x, because with CWM 6 you cannot restore a backup. Using CWM 6 the android.secure-backup part is corrupted and therefore all applications on SD are gone.
I tried various methods like x-part, copying files to /system/bin and /system/xbin and one-click-installs using adb, but it will not replace the CWM 6.x. Is that because it's somehow build in with the kernel (in KernelPanic)? Or am I missing something?
Yes, exactly. Because it's built in kernel. In ramdisk to be precise.
u have to flash a kernel that have cwm 5.
this is the only solution
copy the android_secure.vfat.tar part of the backup to your computer .
Use 7z or WinRar to extract the file
You will find a bunch of files with extension .asec
Attach your phone to computer ...
Navigate to .android_secure
copy the asec files to android_secure
Profit !!

yes, this is the way of restoring that data manually to sd card.
Thanks for all the answers. I will install the Radeon Kernel, which is quite fast also and has CWM 5 in it.
Recent days I'm working on a Mod for Android and I've a lot of files in my mod pack. I want my files to be packed in a EX4 like disk image ".img" file, thats why I can change my files permissions, modify them easly and a SDCARD with fat32 formatted is not supported by Linux permission. So what I want is
1. files and folders to > files.img
2. A mount script that can mount the "files.img" file at boot time.
Then I want the place the "files.img" file in my SDCARD and let mount script to mount at boot time.
Could you tell me plz.. How can I do this and what I've to do for it ??? I'm a Windows user for PC any tool for creat ".img" file.. I'm really in need for this.
Some android partitions from a complete block dump is not mountable, or at least i'm having no luck .
I did a complete copy of the entire disk image (mmcblk0 in my case, using this thread's instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818321).
Now i can mount the raw image on windows, but i'm having no luck ubuntu, on which i do most of the work. I'm also unable to view the aboot and a lot of other partitions when i extract the images partition-wise.)
Any advice/help?
Some partitions simply do not contain mountable file systems.
Hello!
I was doing a nandroid backup via adb. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818321) Because of the time and testing purpose I did an image from the efs partition.
Now I have a backup.raw file and I don’t know who to open it. My goal is to do a backup from the whole phone and afterwards I want recover deleted files (pictures) from the internal sdcard.
Just for inf I’m using Linux Mint. I there is just a solution for Windows I have also windows 7.
Thx
