Hello peoples how you doing?
I just had a few questions about backups. OK so I made a backup through cwm and my first question is that what do I flash? I'm pretty sure its the one that says nandroid.md5 but just making sure. My second question is that can I flash the backup through cwm? Or do I have to do it through Odin?
Thanks
You must have a folder on your external SD Card called "clockworkmod" and inside you will find the backup files you made, and you restore that Nandroid backup with CWM as well, not Odin.
When you are on CWM, you have the option called "Backup/Restore", the rest is pretty self explanatory.

I was trying out a new ROM, so I did a nandroid and flashed. Unfortunately the flash wiped the internal SD. Can I get my Nandroid and my data back or is it a goner?
Its probably gone, but you can try and recover it. I've used a program called Recurva to recover pictures accidently deleted off my camera. You might be able to recover your nandroid, but don't get your hopes up.
I'm not sure any CW flashable ROM will delete either of your sd cards. Which one did you flash and how? If you have a nandroid image saved outside of the sd cards that just got deleted then you should have a folder labeled /sdcard which is your internal sd.

His language was ambiguous, but I think he meant he made a nandroid (backup) and flashed (with Odin).
Yeah, you can try a number of programs designed to restore data. Be very careful & make sure that clockwork is NOT set to ignore the hash check (I forget exactly what the option is). You don't want to flash it on top if it fails a hash check (unless you are only trying to restore data, which should be ok to try).
The screen on my vibrant lost all color so I had to get a replacement from TMO. I had the "old" phone rooted but still using the stock ROM and everything else.
Is there a way to transfer all my apps and user data to the new phone? I tried doing a Titanium Backup and a Nandroid backup. I saw a thread for a HTC Hero but the file names don't seem to carry over to the Vibrant.
When putting Titanium on the "new" phone, it does not recognize any backups, even though I moved it to the ext-sd using root explorer. Going into "Batch" in TB, it does not recognize any apps other than stock. I tried moving the TB backup to various areas of the SD card with no luck. Obviously, the "new" phone is rooted".
Using Nandroid, I backed up the ROM. I can see the folder with the 5 files within. Opening ROM Manager on the "new" phone and going to "Restore", it doesn't see any backup. Like with TB, I tried moving this folder around to see if it helped but didn't.
I even reverted back to stock (again) on the "new" phone using Odin but it still can't see any backups.
Sure, I can easily re-download all of my apps but the data will be lost. I feel like an idiot with this because it sounds so simple (and maybe I am), but I would appreciate any help using noob language. Thanks.
If you have a backup of your nandroid its pretty easy to retore it to your new phone . First install RomManager . Once you have RomManager installed you should have a folder named "clockworkmod" in this folder is a folder named "backup" . Now that we have these folder we can transfer our backed up nandroid to "backup" folder . Now reboot to clockworkmod and do and nandroid restore of that backup we just transfered . Remember to also flash the correct kernel for your backup .
TitaniumBackup works the same way just install TitaniumBackup and replace the "TitaniumBackup" folder with your backed up TitaniumBackup .
Click the Thanks button if this helped you
Thanks for the help. I just needed the correct folders.
Nandroid backups from CWM recovery goes to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Try performing the restore from CWM recovery instead of ROM Manager.
Remember to have the matching kernel flashed before you perform the nandroid restore.
TB backups go to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup
Keep in mind /sdcard is the internal sd.

TB backup folder replaces /sdcard/TitaniumBackup it does not go in that folder .
Could someone tell me how to do a efs back up using this recovery. I thought i read it somewhere.
Also how do o do a nandroid back up ? I cant see anything that says nandroid. I did a backup to my ext sd card but its only 1.6gb i thought nandroid was larger.
Many thanks

If it's not there try looking on your internal storage there will be a folder named "0" there then from there look for the folder "backup" then see if your backup is now present.

Nope. Not there. I found it in my galaxsimunlock folder in the internal sd "0" location.
How the hell did it get there
That's obviously where you have set philz recovery to create custom backups, it's all configurable.

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

Yesterday I whiped my internal storage. Sadly I forgot to secure my WhatsApp images from the respective folder.
Before whipping the device I've made a nandroid backup with CWM.
The question is: does a nandroid backup includes also the images and videos from the internal storage folder of WhatsApp? Can I restore it with the nandroid manager?
I would be pleased for a fast answer :good:

Yes it should because it backed up /data which some devices have their internal sd partition. Extract the data and see. It should be there as long as you didn't store images on the external sd.

Thanks for the answer. There was nothing in nandroid manager. So I think I need to deal with it.

So you're saying that there was no backup in the first place? Or it was wiped?
There is a backup on the external SD. What I meant is that I used nandroid manager for a restore but it only restored the WhatsApp data and sadly no images or videos at all. Maybe there is another possibility?

It should be in a Whatsapp folder on the sdcard.

As far as I know...
A cwm backup will restore data but it won't restore the files.
sorry
