So I flashed a new rom after backing up everything through Titanium Backup and Clockwork Recovery. I flashed the rom, but was met with a force close loop. I tried doing a factory reset through recovery mode and that got rid of the loop. But when I installed Titanium Backup, none of the backups were there. Same goes for Nandroid. What's going on?
Did u accidentally format ur sd card? Because tb is pretty reliable

Never had this happen before, but to fix this in the future you should make a backup of the tb folder on your pc...actually you should do your entire internal and external sd anyway!

Reboot and see if they're still there or plug your phone into a pc and try to access the sd card contents. I've had a few instances where TB didn't show me anything on the sd card until i rebooted. Weird but it's worth a shot before you do anything drastic.

Arghh I think this is what I might have done somehow. My sdcard folders did get messed up. I guess I'll have to start from scratch then...

Hi my internal storage is just about full. I'm not exactly sure why either except maybe from backups by titanium or because of flashing so many roms and my old apps still exist? Idk but if I backup my current condition and save to to my PC can I then wipe my phone and reflash?

just backup what tghings you need and delete all others thus wipe.
also have a look at the folder LOST.dir in your internal storage. if it has things inside delete them.
but if it has it also means that you are not properly disconnecting your phoine after finishing your transfer from/to PC.

Titanium backups take a consistent amount of space, it hardly varies more than a hundred megs. My theory is your nandroid backup. You said that you flash many roms and I presume each time you would perform a nandroid backup in cwm? Now these take up a fair bit of space. If you don't delete nandroid backups that you no longer need, then it will use up your space fairly easily.
Check your clockworkmod folder.
OK thanks. And by things I need you mean backup pics append all that kind of thing and then wipe? Also I have a ton of stuff in the lost directory. What am I doing wrong? Is it because I don't unmount the volume before disconnecting?

lambstone. If i go into cwm recovery I only have three listed. I don't usually backup each time I flash because if I get problems I use one of those three to get me good again and then continue from there. I just sync with Google to get my apps back and titanium to get the rest.

delete content of lost dir. and yes you are not unmounting correctly.
if it says it is full but shows empty then it must have been corrupted. save photos and other important data and then format internal drive from settings-storage

You tried using kies and you want to use the factory reset, so I'm guessing you are not rooted right?

Copy the important files from the internal and external memory to your pc and do a data factory reset in settings, backup and restore. Best is to reflash the rom with Odin. See my siganture for roms and tutorial for Odin. Good luck

Factory reset won't touch your phones internal SD so you don't need to back up to your pc
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Though I would, if you flash a stock rom most are wipe roms that will wipe the internal sd card... This is how I do a restock...

Copy the backup to ur pc as restoring to factory Rom will wipe internal memory.
After installing Rom u can copy back the titanium backup folder.

I think I'm too inexperienced to be rom'ing on my everyday phone. I was running Team Objection lf5 and it was great except for google voice and MHL-out. So I decided to play with CM9. Now I cannot revert back to Objection? CWM recovery menu does not see ANYTHING on my external sd card. But when I pop the card into my laptop everything is still there, including all 3 of my CWM backup dates. What gives? I installed TWRP recovery to see if that was any different but it shows my backups as blank too. (Can TWRP even see/use CWM backup files anyways??).
So if the backups are there....how do you recommend I go about regaining access to them? Thank you in advance for saving my butt!
TWRP cannot use CWM backups and when u boot into CWM u should have an option to restore from internal memory or SD card, which is external. Try that

CWM gives me something like "directory not found" both when SD is mounted and unmounted.
Might be that CM9 is having terrible seeing the external. Put the backup on your internal.

This is true, it's only navigating the internal SD. BUT I can't mount the internal in CM9 to move the backups there. I'm stuck right?
No, flash a ROM, then move the backup on your phone, them restore the backup

Got it. I'm in CM9 right now. Got USB storage "working" in that it connects, but while copying my clockworkmod folder to the internal it will cause the phone to reboot each and every time. (4x so far). I'll keep trying but this was an absolute waste of a day.
External has been wonky on CM9, just flash another ROM, preferably tw based, so you can transfer the file, then restore your backup.

Holy crap the whole problem was incompatibility between CWM and CWMtouch versions. Never would have guessed, but then again I know so little that I thought the backups they create would be compatible. Thanks everyone for your help.
CM7 was/is great on my Incredible, but it appears I am not ready for CM9 on the Note. (With the bugs in CM9 I cannot believe people are asking for CM10 already, yikes). Then again, the is on my everyday, daily driver including work phone so I need every little thing to work right.
Hi,
I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.
2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c
Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)
So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.
Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....
I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.
What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up ?
Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).
Thanks in advance.
I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.
Not sure but could it be that you somehow hit format sd card in cwm by accident?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Have you searched your internal and external storage? Maybe they were only stored on a different location so that the stock Gallery cannot find them?
Storages are either completely wiped or not wiped - but you don't only loose one particular folder

I tried to install 3rd party Gallery program which scans my SD's for photos and it could nothing.... Its probably not there.
I think all is lost unless one of my backups contains them.

Unfortunately cwm backups do not backup stuff on the sd card like photos. Looks like you've lost them man.

In a more optimistic view there are worse things, and although its quite hard to swollow all I've got left to do is say thanks to every one for trying...
Thanks.
Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.
You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...

It almost looked like a life saver case but it seems to target the external SD card only.
I can't seem to find a setting to switch into internal SD...
Somehow I erased my sd card, I don't mind loosing my music and some pics. But I had in TWRP the stock backup recovery.

its to late. as soon as you format the card in settings, new info is written and 90% of the time corrupts the data. If all that you want to recover is the backup, I highly do not recommend it.
You can use software such as wondershare to recover deleted files. If you erased the actual sd card, take it out and follow the directions. I've done this and only corrupted a tiny percent of the files. It's up to you, good luck. http://www.wondershare.com/disk-utility/sd-card-recovery.html
