I just updated to 1.83 OTA and now Titanium Backup isn't finding my backup files. I did have to flash 1.26 SBF before the updates would work, don't know if that did something. Can anyone tell me what to do or if its gone forever? Thanks!

u can unmount ur internal sdcard and check to see if its there.then mount it back. also a reboot sometimes help..
I tried it, didn't work. I see titanium default backup location is on the internal sdcard. Why would it not delete from a hard reset but delete on flashing the SBF?
Did you use GingerBreak to root after installing 1.8.3? If so, as noted in another thread here, it might have been GingerBreak and not the 1.8.3 update that wiped the files.
ooooh, yea I did use gingerbreak. It does say it clears your internal storage. I didn't realize that it backed up to an internal 'sd'. I also lost my adw backup too.

Will using the nandroid backup also act as an odin? Restoring and deleting everything? Basically will it delete everything on the phone and restore it to my backup as if i was using odin to do it?

This is true. Think of it similar as Windows system restore feature. Remember that all data on your internal "sd card" and external sd card stay the same.
I've got few doubts regarding the Nandroid backup. I boot into the recovery and under Backup/restore there are several options which include
- Nand backup
- Nand backup + .android_secure
- Nand + ext backup
- Nand + ext backup + .android_
Which option do I select?
Sorry am a n00b. I am running on stock 2.2.2 and I've installed the recovery and would like to flash the franco kernel, my question is when the official Gingerbread is available will I be able to upgrade without any issues since I would change the kernel?
Thanks!

For stock without any Apps2SD/Link2SD stuff Nand backup + .android_secure is enough. (i.e., the system, data and apps installed on phone and apps installed on SD via the Froyo built-in mechanism.)
For the rest, we do not know, ask LG, they will not tell you the date either, no point in asking.
I've got this application App2Sd installed on the phone. So which backup do I go for? also I get this error "Error : Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb !" while creating a backup of anything other than Nand backup.

If you partitioned your card, you need to backup the ext as well. If you are unsure about whether you have anything installed on SD card via Froyo, just back up everything.
As for the error, would guess to be corrupt filesystem on the ext partition, or SD card compatibility issue or whatnot.
What recovery are you using (incl. version) and how did you partition the card, and what filesystem?
AmonRa/modified by Drellisdee version 1.2. I haven't partitioned the card. I just installed the recovery and gives me error whenever i try to create any backup. I tired only the Nand backup and it was successful. Yes. I've installed many applications on the sd card.

Clear as a mud. What is that App2SD "application" you are talking about, exactly? Where did you get it from, how did you install?
Clear as mud what? Obviously from android market. App2Sd... To move the installed applications onto the SD card.

"Obviously" - there is nothing obvious about this, most people here are using flashed custom apps that use ext2/3/4 partition for moving applications, cache and data to a partitioned SD card.
Well whatever, I need a market link, since searching for App2Sd will definitely not answer my question, there are loads of utilities there.

I clearly mentioned that am new to these stuff and "flashed custom apps" No chance since I've just installed the custom recovery. You are confusing me further. Thanks for the confusion.

You are welcome. Until you tell me exactly which application you installed, I really cannot help. Searching for app2sd results in tons of results and there are also applications that partition the SD card themselves, so it is not even clear whether you have the card partitioned or not. Apps2SD itself is a meaningless description, sorry.
Otherwise, stick with nand backup only, use Titanium for the rest and move on.
I don't think you got my point.
1. Which type of backup do I use to back my stuff up though the Recovery's Backup / restore option.
2. Whenever I try to back up things, I get this error "Error : Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb !"
I hope you understood.

I cannot tell you what to backup when I do not know where you have stuff installed/stored, uh! I already answered your question in a generic way and no more detailed info can be provided since I know nothing about your particular setup.
Ditto for the second question, as said - if you cannot be bothered to get the info required to diagnose your weird error message, simply use plain nand backup for system and data and Titanium for applications backup. All I can say to this.
Helped a friend to root and install custom rom.
Basically the step i used
1) Root it with odin and cf-root
2) Root working, so i get titanium backup and run the backup
3) Factory reset and install Omega rom v37
4) failed to install, seem like i get the older version of cf-root. So i re install the cf-root
5) Install omega rom v37 and it worked
6) Install titanium backup. However, when i want to restore, seem all file missing. I scanned through whole device, cant find it too. The sdcard/titaniumbackup is an empty folder
Question
1) Could the backup file in sdcard0/titaniumbackup?
2) Why the backup will disappear by itself?
3) Factory reset/wipe cache/wipe ...cache will delete the backup, right?
4) Watapps backup disappear too?
5) Instagram pictures folder disappear too?
5) Any idea to get the backup back? Feel really sorry as lost my friend's data, please help me if there is a way to get the data back.
Thank you.
how did you do the factory reset? from the settings menu?
Yes, from the cwm menu.
And i did it just like what i did for the last 50 times

you didn't wipe the internal sd, did you?
No /sdcard0, only /sdcard
Dint wipe that one.

Yes, you factory reset, which wiped your internal sd, and you really should set titanium to save to external sd if you have one to avoid this happening again, and backup to pc before you start messing around
I never understand making backup on internal sd - think it would be good to advise user of TB after installing to change the folder at first. (If ext SD is present)
Do anybody backup PC on c:\ ??? Must be more complicated on a phone...

So no chances to get the lost data back?
Hi there. Yesterday, before flashing leaked 4.2.1 ROM, I did a nandroid backup to my external microSD card using Philz Touch Recovery v. 4.63. The process of backing up was successful.
The problem came when I restored the backup. (Before restoration, I had to reinstall the PhilZ Touch recovery and, from it, I did format cache, format system and format data). I recovered my XXEMA2 ROM with all the apps and configurations I had before, BUT there is no trace of the pictures I had in the internal memory or the files I downloaded.
I tried to repeat the process, but I got the same result.
Does anybody know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

Nandroid only backs up your ROM, recovery, apps, app data, etc. and not the data stored in your internal storage.

Ooopppps, I thought it makes a complete image of the phone! (for example, on many websites it's compared with Norton Ghost for PC). Good to know for the next time...

After going back from 4.2.1 to 4.1.2 you'll have your whole Internal Memory in a folder "0". Find it on your Internal Memory. All your data and files should be there. Just transfer them from folder 0 to root of Internal Memory and all will be like before flashing 4.2.1

I seem to be blind! I was looking for the "thanks" button, but I didn't found it (I thought that maybe it didn't appear since I was surfing from my mobile). That's why I said "thanks" texting.
EDIT: I was not blind. In the default version of the forum (the classic one) that appears on my Opera Mobile there is not "thanks" button. You need to change manually the versión to 2010 one or higher.

I do have the "0" folder with the old (sub)folders, but all of them are empty :crying:
Maybe it was not a good idea to do format cache/system/data before restoring the nandroid backup... As I thought all data were preserved in the backup, I prefered to delete any trace of 4.2.1 ROM .

Well, that might be the problem. I had also restoring 4.1.2 backup after trying 4.2.1 FW but I didn't do wiping or formating - I just restored backup and there was that 0 folder and all files from Internal were there.
Hi guys,
I own a S3 and for one year I just dealed with the stock ROM, just root access. Saturday I decided to enter the modding world but I knew it would bring a lot of troubles...
I did a nandroid backup of 4.1.2 stock FW just before the flashing, but no way it restores, after an hour of processing it shows - Error restoring data! - it boots but it's a total mess. I even restored the original stock FW with triangle away, wipe all and double ODIN flash and then reflashing the clockworkmod recovery to restore the backup again but nope, won't work.
Luckily I did a full backup with Titanium backup prior, the real trouble is with ES file explorer: I did copy/paste of the entire internal storage to the external microsd but for some reasons it stopped at "D", "Downloads" folder... I lost everything else and I realized this only AFTER wiping and flashing, of course...
I'm trying to recover the files with Hexamob, hope this will work....
I have this two questions:
Does Nandroid work only with backup < 2.5 Gb? Mine is 4.5 Gb...
Does Nandroid backup the internal storage, too??
Thank you all guys

If I am not wrong, Nandroid does a backup of your phone (system, data etc) so that when you restore it, you got anything like it was. It does not backup the SD card though. In addition backups of over 2.5gb should work.
/data is the internal memory? Or is it /sdcard?

its all the internal memory.
/system
/data
/cache
...are all on the emmc memory and are backed up in a nandroid backup.
/sdcard is actually a mount of /data/media, however this is ignored by nandroid backups for obvious reasons

So /sdcard is the external microsd? And /data is the internal memory (I mean what you see when connecting phone to PC, Internal memory and external sd)?
If nandroid backed up internal memory would be great, may be there's some way to recover datas from backup files (unyaffs won't work, Titanium Backup just shows apps and their datas).
I'll do some further research.
no. sdcard is the internal SD, which is just a link to /data/media. to backup it, use copy and paste. no, it's not possible to recover internal SD data from a nandroid backup
Be aware that Nandroid does not backup your EFS .
jje
it can. depends on the recovery
Yep i know problem is that some think any recovery backs up EFS .
Wrong recovery no EFS backup .
We desperately need some stickied faqs and guides on this forum .

/sdcard is the "internal sd"
/extSdCard is the "external sd"
/data is something different that just so happens to be the home of /sdcard
As I feared, no internal storage backup in Nandroid. But what makes me more angry is that s****y ES file explorer so crappy it can't even perform a simple task like copy-paste. If that worked I wouldn't have lost anything. :crying:
Not to mention the useless nandroid... doesn't work either.
However I did manually backed up the EFS folder, but I don't really think it matters in this case.
If your /sdcard was 90% full, where would the nandroid go? External obviously? But recovery devs cannot assume that everyone has an external sd card with enough free space to store a 15 GB backup.

Just clarifying
Hey guys, this is my first ever post on xda!
Just to clarify, a nandroid backup will only backup device root files, and not the (internal) sdcard, nor the extsdcard files, from my understanding of this thread. So to do a complete backup of ALL phone data, I should perform the nandroid backup to extsdcard, and then simply copy (internal)sdcard and extsdcard to my computer for safe keeping?
Thank you!
