Can this be right...I looked under storage and its showing clockworkmod takes up 2.6gb
Have you made nandroid backups? It could be why. Go inside and checkout the files

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).
I know i need to extract them with unyaffs.exe
But i can't find where my camera photos stored ..
Please navigate me to the path ...
Motorola Atrix 2.3.4 device.
Thanks.
Nowhere, they're on the SD card (/DCIM/)
So they are gone ?
I stored them at the internal sd, not in the external sd.
Internal SD... ah, sorry: the Atrix has built-in memory... I wasn't aware of that. That depends on how it is accessed... I still wouldn't expect it to show up in Nandroid backups, but if your lucky it doesn't get formatted and you can still retrieve it. The question is, what device is this internal storage and what filesystem does it use.
Can you still mount the storage on the PC? You should be able to retrieve most of your images even if the drive was formatted using a standard photo recovery tool
I just full wiped everything .. all the storage places too and intsalled new ROM.
OK, i can do that , which revocery tool should i use ?
It's been a while ... I think I used this one:
http://www.z-a-recovery.com/digital-image-recovery.htm
The free version is enough for image recovery.
Thanks
Just recover some of my images ...
But i can't get the full library from the nandroid backup? what information do you need?
I know i can just restore the nandroid backup ... but it will do trouble ... diffrent kernel from my preset rom..
Any ideas?
?
Sorry for the late response, But I just stumbled upon the thread. I had the G2x. The internal memory is just like another SD card. Just that it's not removable. What's backed up in a Nandroid is things like the /data, /cache /boot /system and android.secure partitions. The internal memory is /emmc. It doesnt get formatted in a wipe (unless you say so) and it doesnt get backed up in the Nandroid. Otherwise, your Nandroid backups would be EXTREMELY large.
How do I do this? Is it possible? I've done quite a few backups because I've been swtiching between ROM's and my Internal is running low on memory. I'm using ROM Manager Premium v5.0.2.0
Edit: I know I can do this if I manually go into CWM

On the latest version of CWM, there is the option to save to internal or external SD card once you have created, or accepted, the name of the file names backup.
Tip: Always save your backups to your external SD card in case of problems you may encounter with flashing.
You can choose in cwm backup/restore menu : backup internal sd.
or make a backup in external, then copy paste the clockworkmod dir in internal sd
Can you please mount external sdcard instead of internal one.
/etc/fstab:
Code:
PHP:
#/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard vfat rw
Ive noticed some cwm-r versions are kind of "reversed" too when it comes to backup/restore and install from locations... when you chose internal the cwm-r uses the external and the other way around. so if you have chosen to backup to internal but it put it on external anyways then try to do the backup to external to have it on the internal sd don't know if that's the case with version you use though.....
A quick question: I have 3 nandroid backups made by CWM in INTERNAL sd card. I know that the amound of free space IS reduced (ES Explorer. Android storage and Windows tell me so). Still, the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder contains only a nandroid I have done of the stock ROM before I started flashing... the other nandroids are invisible. I 've even connected the phone in windows and tried to search for .md5 files.... only got the one concerning my old stock ROM backup. Where does the CWM save its' backup files? Should I format the internal card?
clockworkmod/blobs
Ok this is becoming weirder and weirder by the second. So, I had a nice backup of stock ROM (which yielded the amazing: "Your device is modified, no software updates available" har har har). So I fire up "My Files". And lo and behold, in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups, the three backups I have done are visible. This sounds.... fishy. To say the least. And of course, now they are visible in Windows Explorer too. Ok, now I am kinda scared ****less.
Never had this issue before in the past 4 year I've used Clockworkmod but basically I have my backup folder on my external SD and whenever I try to restore a backup via the backup and restore menu in recovery I get an error saying there are none to be found.
Been googling for the past hour with no luck and it's now 3:05am and I'm just about ready to launch my device out the window.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
If we're assuming the SD card is functioning properly and in the correct format that CWM supports, then either your version of CWM doesn't support restoring from external, you have to manually choose restore from the external, or the naming structure is messed up. Have you just tried moving it to internal just long enough to see if the backup is working and then move it back?
Hi guys - just a quick question...
Haven't had an android based phone in awhile and evidently I've gotten quite rusty.
I needed to format my internal storage on my Samsung Galaxy S4 as it was not showing the correct available space (far less than should have been available). Decided I'd have to format it in CWM Recovery, so I backed up the entire 'Internal Storage' contents onto my computer, and having already done a couple recent CWM Recovery backups I just went straight ahead and did the format.
Rebooted and problem seemed to be fixed.
So I go back into CWM Recovery to restore and to my surprise I cannot find the backup anywhere.
To make a long story short, turns out when I backed up in the passed, I inadvertently had been saving the backups to the internal SD Card partition - which due to the wording I thought was external.
So I guess I've lost the backup files right?
Any chance in data recovery methods as outlined in this guide?
I still have the entire contents of the 'Internal Storage' directory - what's best way for me to proceed... really didn't want to have to set everything up again from scratch!
Cheers,
navieko
So what ya's reckon? Can I potentially recover the backup files via data recovery methods or is there another way?

You say you have copied all contents of Internal storage on your computer.
Which means you have backup of backup
Then search that contents for a folder named "clockworkmod". Copy it from your computer to newly formatted internal storage. Then go to CWM and you will see backups there.
No need for data recovery and things. And you don't have to start from scratch.
Press Thanks if helped.
