hi!
I accidentally deleted all my folders.
but with a file recovery program I can get the last backup ClockworkMod. if i flash this backup it will bring my sd files back or not?
thanks
No you won't.
thanks alot
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.
So, I'm always told to back up my rom before flashing a new one. So I do that. However when I go into CWM and try to flash my backup back, it says it doesn't exist.
It's looking for .ZIP files. There are files in a folder that I created/made with the backup. Should I put all the backup files into a zip file so that CWM will flash that back?
Or is there a way to flash those files, because CWM says install ROM from SD Card?
Please help, sorry I'm new to this.
I know I have the data, but how do I get it back?
Hello.
When I made a backup with TWRP I saved it on my PC.
Since then I have re-flashed TWRP.
Now under the TWRP folder there is now backups folder, or the one with the code after it. There is only the TWRPS File. (Small text file)
I need help as I need to restore back to this backup!
Many thanks.

Move the file from your pc to your phone. If you have an external SD I'd definitely recommend you put it on the external SD instead of internal
From my Wicked S3 running MIUI
Hello experts, I am a completely newbie. I just bought the HTC One m8, and I managed to install twrp, I then watched a video from youtube which showed me how to back up my stock ROM into the *internal* unit using twrp. The video did not mentioned I have to copy the file to the micro SD card first. The video continues to wipe the internal drive, and then do a restore (from the sd card). Unfortunately, when I do the same, wipe the internal drive, and then try to do a restore, only to find that the image is no where to be found in the internal drive. I didnot have a backup in the sd card. I try to look for the image file in the internal drive and I couldn't find the backup file. I came to this site and from the "collection of stock backups" thread and downloaded the nandroid backup for my HTC One m8 which is the "CID BS_US001". I then use my PC to copy this 2.22.1540.4.zip file into my sd card, put the sd card into the HTC unit and go into recovery mode in the twrp (down volume and power), and try to do a restore via the restore button, but it does not work. I don't know exactly the procedures I need to take to restore this stock ROM back to my phone. I want to thank you for providing this file, and I hope the experts here will not find my question a nuisance. I really needed help, I try to take the unit to a shop and they couldn't help. I now have the backup image file downloaded from collection of stock backups. I know the answer is pretty easy, please help. Thanks.

What part of it doesn't work? Can you not find the file? Does it give an error message? Info like that will be very helpful for us to help you.
Thank you es0tericcha0s, I put the 2.22.1540.4.zip file in the sd card. This is the nandroid zip file I downloaded in COLLECTION of Stock backup's for my HTC One m8 model. I did not use the linux adb command to push the file into the sd card, I just just Windows 7's file copy method to copy the zip file to the card. I supposed this means the same thing. I use twrp recovery method, and have already installed the twrp tool into my HTC, the HTC is *unlocked* but I am not sure if it is rooted as well. I booted the HTC by pressing the down volume button and the power button, I went into recovery mode. When I clicked the restore icon in the twrp menu, the internal storage is empty, there is a message that saids internal storage (25404 mb) at the top, I supposed that can't be my original backup nandroid file (too small), the nandroid file downloaded in COLLECTION of Stock backup is located in my sd card (the zip file). I don't know how to find the zip file in the sd card (what button combinations to press etc). There are 3 buttons in the bottom of the restore screen, the middle button when pressed, bring me into the screen that saids in the bottom updating partition details .... Full SELinus support is present (without the usb cable hooking to the PC).
So to summarized, my questions are:
1). does the 2.22.1540.4.zip file in my sd card is all I need for the backup image, do I need to unzip the file first and then change a few things, renaming boot.emmc.win to boot.img, etc.
2). how to get to the sd card to select this file to do a full restore.
3). Does the file 2.22.1540.4.zip found in COLLECTION of Stock backup truly is a saved file to restore, i.e., the actual original backup file. It seems big, at 1.5 gb.
Thank you for any help.

Ok, now I see where you are at. This should be easier than you think. So here's what you'll want to do:
Reboot to TWRP
Go to Backup ( I know, counterintuitive, but stay with me...)
Backup just the boot.img (This is to create the correct backup folder name/layout)
Unzip the nandroid zip and move all the .img and other files into the TWRP backup folder that has the boot.img that you backed up in it - just overwrite the boot.img you have there
Now go to Restore and you should see your option there now.
Your version of TWRP most likely has a file manager (under Advanced) and you should be able to unzip and move the necessary files all within TWRP. Make sure to pay attention to which storage option you are in if you have internal and external storage options.
If the restore is successful and the phone still does not boot, then return to recovery and perform a reset. If it still does not boot after that, then you'll need to copy the boot.img to a PC and use fastboot to install that.
Thank you es0tericcha0s
Thank you es0tericcha0s,
Based on your response, I am now able to do a full restore of the HTC One m8 stock ROM. What I did was to unzip the Nandroid backup file first and then copied the whole unzip directory into the twrp/backup folder, I then just do a normal restore from the twrp recovery menu, and it worked beautifully. Thanks again.
