Hi there.
My nandroid backup, made with TWR, file extension is .win. How can I open that files on windows?
Already tried unyaffs but it only works with nandroid extension .img.

hey guys,
I have made a nandroid backup of my nexus 7 (2012) and I need to get access to contents of the data partition without actually applying the nandroid backup to the device. I found this "unyaffs" tool, but it requires .img files if I understood it correctly. However, in my nandroid backup directory, I have a couple of files that end in ".win" or ".win000" etc (along with corresponding md5-files)...these must be image files of some sort I guess, but Windows describes them as "Adobe CMS Extensions" for some reason.
So...anyone knows how I can access this data? Any help appreciated!
cheers

I used ADB to backup, ABE to unpack and edited one of the xml file in the extracted tar.
After that, I used 7-zip to pack the data as a tar and used ABE to pack it as .ab again.
However, it restored nothing in the new .ab file. I was able to restore the old .ab file though.
Can anyone tell me how to restore the new .ab file?
So I'm used to doing backup of devices in TWRP but it seems that nandroid is the way you do it with these. I downloaded and ran a backup to SD Card. I chose the option for TWRP backup, will that allow me to do a restore of the image I created here from recovery or would i need to install TWRP recovery to recover? If I chose the backup type Clockworkmod would that be restoreable from stock recovery? The directory it created is only 1.6GB w/o compression which doesn't seem right to me.
I did read the idiots guide to root first BTW.
Thanks guys.
Tried to do a recovery restore using optin recover system from backup but I have no idea the path it is looking for, it doesn't say just says no system.img so ignore. So it appears nandroid creates a system.ext4.tar so I suppose I could decompress this and see if there is a system.img file that the recovery is looking for and put it in the root of the sdcard if recovery is actually looking /external_sd.
Anyone have any input?

Hello. I created a backup of my system files in TWRP but when I want to extract them on PC, 7Zip give me this error: "Cannot open output file" and only extract a few files. I tried renaming the files but doesn't works. I have two files, system.ext4.win000 and system.ext4.win001. EXT4 unpacker does not working. Any way to extract them?
Hi guys I have a nandroid backup files Which contains System.ext4.win(it is a TWRP backup file) now i want to convert it to system.img.
I don't want to use TWRP recovery for its restoration. Just want to restore via FASTBOOT commands. If you guys have any Ideas or sentiments then please provide the guide HOW TO CONVERT IT INTO .img file. Any help would be appreciated.
NOTE=[Please don't tell me that you can restore it ONLY via TWRP!!!!! I am STUBBORN I JUST want to FLASH this file ONLY and ONLY via FASTBOOT MODE ]
Rename system.ext4.win to system.img & flash it.
