just install Nandroid Browser from Play Store and you can browse them and extract files inside them..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.goddchen.android.nandroidbrowser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor.
It's not free however.
I have a similar problem, but I can't find my phonebook amongst all those backup files. Does anyone knows exact location for contacts?

I would like to use one of the Apps from my Titanium backup folder and install it onto my wife's phone, however, all of the apk files the folder are apk.gz files. Can these be renamed to apk files or do I first have to extract the apk from the gz file with winrar or like program before copying to her SD card. Thanks to anyone who has experience with extracting apks from Titanium Backup folders

is your wife's phone not rooted? you could just install the free version of titanium and move the file to her backup folder.

I haven't tried that way personally but it should work.
Alternatively, just restore your backup to your phone which will install the app to /data/app and then you can just copy the apk from there to her phone.
Additionally, if rooted you could do as Viper said and restore your TiBu backup (redundant?) to her phone.
Hopefully you aren't pirating a paid app though
Edit:
haha, sorry...by "it should work" I meant extracting from the zipped file as you mentioned. Sorry
I think you have to unzip them with an unzip app like Androzip. I haven't messed with it in a bit but seem to remember it was something like this.

Does anyone know of an app that will let me mount a .img file from a recovery backup on my phone (if that is even possible)? I recently received a warranty replacement and I'd like to recover some files from my most recent backup (pictures/videos/etc.). I'd rather not have to restore the whole backup just to get to a few files.
I know it can be done in linux, but if there is an app out there that will mount it on my phone I'd rather do that.
Thanks
Edit: Yaffs Explorer looks promising https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.wdscript.yaffsexplorer
Another one is AppExtractor.

Ahh that is a cool app! Still I guess things that were on my sdcard are just gone. I can't find them (ie: pictures in the default dcim location). Maybe they are stored somewhere else in the .img files... compressed or something?
Hi, Everyone
I was attempting to make a new backup of my HTC one using TWRP. For some odd reason, I can't find the file when I browse my phone SD. The TRWP folder has the old backup, but when I attempt to do a restore I can see the new files. I tried using the ES explorer app to find the missing backup files but nothing. I know for a fact that these files are stored somewhere and they are taking space on my HTC. Can I restored to an early restore and it will delete these files?
I'm new to the Android scene and still learning. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
I was able to make a new folder in the /SD and copy the files to that location. Then I deleted the folder.
So I got this game from Humble Bundle and installed in on my DNA, I've been playing it for 13 hours and was forced to reinstall it. I copied my save file on to my computer to put back in the game once I reinstalled it, but I won't load the save file now. Anyone have any issues with this or any ideas as to how I can get it to work??
Thanks.
Many games store info in /data/data folder... Is that what you backed up? (ie com.gameloft.android.etc.etc) I use Titanium Backup because it will also backup the additional files like the example above.

I just grabbed the save file off the phone and copied it to my desktop computer, and then copied it back.

He is asking what "file" did you think you grabbed? Did the file explorer need root permissions to grab this save? Last I checked permissions for save games need root access and are stored in the /data partition, not your SD card or internal SD

Make a backup of your current state and flash your old backup, then, retrieve the information and send it to yourself via Gmail or any other service.
Hope that helped and leave a thanks if I did .
