Cool ICS rom flashed.
Question: I finally found a ROM that I like and have customized it with he programs and settings i usually use. If i do "backup" (from the "backup and restore" option within the 4ext recovery) what exactly will it back up? If my phone crashes will I be able to recover from this saved file and have the phone EXACTLY as is? (Anotherwords, all settings, apps, texts, call history etc will be restored?)
That is what I'm looking for. Hopefully this will do this.
Thank you in advance.
Yes, nandroid does a complete backup of everything
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Any idea why this would happen?

What ROM are you backing up? The reason I'm asking is because I might have seen that backing up a specific ROM before.
Go to the 4EXT tools menu after the error occurs and select "copy recovery.log to SD card" then retrieve the recovery.log file from the /sdcard/4ext directory and post it here as an attachment and we may be able to tell you more.

ramjet, sorry it took me a while to reply (i was away on vacation)
so i decided to do another backup (not advanced just regular to save all my info (sms, system settings, everything) since I had installed other apps since my initial post)
and appears that the problem fixed itself No error messages
Attached is the copy of the latest log (blow) so now if I crash in the future i'll get the phone exactly as it as of today....right?
minor issue after backup: a few apps , such as the XDA app have become Android icons and when clicked say "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone" any idea why this happened?
Ahh i had the phone plugged in as USB device..once unplugged issue is resolved.
anyone know if its possible to erase old backups via the gui?

Yes, it is. Just go to "Recovery/Manage your backups" then press on the name of the backup and the delete option should be there. You can also rename or restore them that way.

YES, If you do a nandroid back-up, when you restore it your phone will be EXACTLY like it was at the time of the back-up, I do it all the time trying new roms and such....if I dont like the rom, I simply restore and it was like nothing was ever changed...
About backups made using 4EXT Recovery
I discovered that when you make a backup using 4EXT, that it puts the files in a sub folder on the SD card in "ClockworkMod" (interesting, eh--thought it would be "4ext"). So let's just say for argument's sake that you've replaced the bootloader and lost 4EXT Recovery. All you have is ClockworkMod recovery. Can CWM use that backup to restore your system?

Same thing happens if you have moved apps to SD and don't back up the secure android SD folder or don't restore it.

So I tried to restore my phone multiple times from two different recoveries and every time it stops during it and the screen goes black and the only way to turn my phone on is to pull the battery. Everything but the .android-secure restores and I now have about 200 hundred apps that aren't installed on my phone and I don't want to have to go through all that again, the apps still show as installed on my phone, but the the data on my SD card is missing, does anyone know how I can get this back?
Did you actually wipe your.android_secure folder?

No, I never wiped it. After I restored my phone it was empty
Did you ever try to move 200?? apps to sd?

Yes all the apps were on my SD card already. But they were moved over one by one so it wasn't a major hassle. I tried doing it through TWRP now and it won't restore at all anything that is.

Is your Sdcard partitioned, and, if so, are you running a ROM that supports A2SD?
Sent.
No I never did a superwipe or anything of the sort, I didn't have any Titanium Backups either, never planned on flashing a new ROM, still haven't. The backup was through CWM the newest update 4.0.1.5 I tried restoring through that and the Revolutionary 4.0.1.4, neither worked. I moved all the recovery files over to TWRPs backup location and they none of the partitions would restore. My SD is not partitioned and I'm on a rooted stock ROM. I'm only talking about regular App2SD apps that are supported by Android, like Angry Birds and Google Earth.

Those go straight to your secure folder. I don't ever use CWM, as a rule, but it seems that somehow your CWM Nandroid didn't include that folder...I don't know how it got wiped, but my guess is that whatever rom you flashed included a Superwipe script,which would've wiped that folder. (another thing I don't use-Superwipe) If you go in with root explorer or whatever file manager, you can manually verify that a) your secure folder is empty (which it sounds like you've done), and also check under your /clockworkmod recovery folders to see if you actually have a backup for the secure folder.
If it's not there, then, unfortunately it's lost.. You can get the apps back from the market, though.. PM me if you have any 'hard to come by' apps you might need that don't show up on the market.
Good luck.

OK so what recovery did you make the backup? I don't think TWRP backup work in CWM. Also, you don't even NEED to restore the .img you're talking about. You can restore boot, system, data, and it should boot. If you need your apps back, download them. Then back them up with titanium backup. Koushik can be found in #cyanogenmod-dev on freenode, but I don't think you need to bug him. It sounds like your phone boots right? If you need more help come into our d3rp thread, linked in my sig.
Thanks, yeah I decided to just reset my phone anyway, to fix the black screen of death and everything. Just sucks I can't remember what all my apps were and I'm like a hundred short now
I have a Wind Amaze with Ruby installed. S-Off, unlocked, the whole shabang. I have been trouble free for months with this install...
Until yesterday when I installed BusyBox to adjust some Facebook permissions using the Permissions App. All I wanted was the Permissions App, but I needed BB to install it, so I did it without knowing really what it was. What is it exactly?
Now my phone will boot but after I unlock the screen, it will just freeze and reboot like 10 mins later. Sometimes I can get further but within a minute or so, it freezes once again.
Yesterday, I also installed a new 32GB SD card but I don't think that's the problem, as I've tried my old card. I'm considering just reflashing the device with a new ROM but I don't want to have to go through the trouble of reconfiguring everything.
If anyone has a fix or suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated.

Titanium backup makes backups of apps/app data, a system backup via recovery makes a backup of the entire system including all files/apps, etc in the the system partition, that's why you should always make a backup in recovery and keep it on your sd card just in case this happens, busybox and the likes change system files/permissions etc, just in case it doesn't work well, you can use a system backup to restore the system files it modified.
Two totally backups, get the idea?
Ah ha, makes sense. I wish I had known this earlier but I suppose this is how you learn.
Could it be possible to grab the titanium backup files if I attach my phone to my computer in disk mode then transfer them when I install the new ROM?

Should be possible, if you can't get it done in the android interface, reboot into 4EXT recovery and choose the mount USB storage option, should make your memory card pop up like it would on the phone for you to copy your files to your pc.

Well, you didn't say what version you have, why you are trying to disable the check or what you may have tried already, so Google is probably your best bet for finding an answer under the circumstances.

The "issue" = the fact that you cannot restore your backup. Just trying to help, no need for hostility. Try using 4ext, like someone in your other thread already suggested to you.

I dont use an Evo 3d so I don't know, does he need a specific 4ext for the Evo 3d? could you possibly supply a link he can read up on to use 4ext? He can restore his back up but not everything from his backup he made, the phone will boot and everything its not just the way he backed it up, when it boots its like he booted into a fresh install. He basically wants all his game data and text messages and customizations etc. back the way he had when he made the back up.

a simple search on XDA turned this link up. install any old ROM, install the free 4ext app, and use the app to install the 4ext recovery. After that, reboot and try to restore your backup.
In the future, use the app called Titanium Backup to backup all your apps and data, so that if anything like this happens again, you can easily install a new ROM, then restore each one of your apps and all of your data. Good luck OP.

[Q] how do you disable md5 checksum from Clockworkmod?
Any one?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Old question but i was struggling with this problem myself today as my samsung galaxy trend plus+clockwork mod refused to
recover any backup images by saying "md5 mismatch error" on every image.
The solution is very simple and doesnt require any adb debugging..
edit "nandroid.md5" file in the backup directories, clear all the text and save it as empty.
Do NOT delete the file, but instead save it as empty or if it doesn't exist, create the file and leave it empty.
then try restoring the backups, clockwork mod will bypass the md5 check,and restore the backup.
I'm sorry I don't have cwm.... But any recovery I've used has had an option to disable the check in the advanced settings.
Hey everyone. So I wanted to try out the vanilla root box ROM today and after a while of checking it out I decided to swap back to the back up I made before doing the ROM install. Problem is, when I boot into recovery, and press restore...non of my backups are there. Can anyone help? Where did my back ups go?
ok, sorry guys, i was on my phone at a friends place when i posted this thread so i wasnt able to search to much on google. so the deal is my TWRP isnt seeing the backups i did after i rooted my note 2 and the backup i did before i flashed my vanilla rootbox rom. kinda weird. anyways, i looked thru my phone files with file manager and the backups are indeed there...
does anyone know where i need to move these files to have them show up under restore in TWRP? i tried one method of making another backup and then moving the backups to where the new backup was stored. but when i go to look, the new backup doesnt show in file manager in the location where TWRP said the backup was stored...i even searched for it and still no dice. lmk if you have a fix for this. thanks!
i also went into TWRP, went to advanced, file manager, data, media, twrp, backups, the back i was looking for was there.
i tried moving it to the media/0 location like mentioned in this youtube vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ziillAA-I
it doesnt let me copy the folder over like shown in the vid. waited like 3 mins, then says it failed. then wont even try after each attempt afterwards, just goes straight to fail....
WHAT THE DEUCE!?
Ima connect the phone to my laptop and see if I can locate the newest backup I made and see about moving the older ones to that location. Seen if they show up. If anyone knows the actual location or fix for this do let me know. Seems that the newest version of twrp was suppose to fix this but I guess not.
ok so i figured it out.
somehow the first couple stock backups i made ended up in the TWRP backup folder on the internal drive of the phone.
the new backup was stored in the TWRP backup folder on my SD Card.
so after finding both locations, i cut the two stock backups i made and pasted them into the SD Card TWRPs Backup folder and BAM! they show up now in my restore option on TWRP.
ok just to confirm, my first nandroid backup flashes correctly. but the backup i made before i flashed the vanilla rootbox rom some reasno fails...i dunno. im just happy i got my backups to show up now. and at least one works. ima try and get the one backup to work again but well see. hope this thread helps someone out if they are having this same problem.

Sorry I am late to the party... But in twrp at the top of the screen you can change where to get the backup from its a bar that says data(xxxx) however much space you have left.. Tap it and you can. Go from internal to external memory and search any folder. Doesn't have to be in the twrp backup folder either... Just for future references...

Follow instructions in post 8.
For fellow googlers out there: if, like me, TWRP shows only the "internal storage" and the "SD card" options but you can't see any folder, even though your backup is there, check if it's the serial number of the phone! Your backup should be in TWRP/Backups/<serial number>/Name of the backup. If you saved your backup in another phone, you need to check the serial number and rename the folder with the serial number.

In fact, the correct path where all your disk image files (data.ext4.win etc.) have to be stored, is /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial number>/<name of folder with disk image files>, so BACKUPS in capital letters.
TWRP does not "find" your backup otherwise (tested with 2.8).

It's been my experience with ONANDROID that you need to flash both the onandroid zip, (in CWM) and the specific file for our device to recognize boot partitions. I think you downloaded a GUI front end for onandroid, but it can't do anything without the underlying program.
If you open terminal emulator, and type
$su
#onandroid
it should immediately start making one, and (ironically) it would be in the default CWM backup folder...

this thread is the creater of onandroid, to my knowledge.
Hope this helps.
I am not familiar with app but my guess is you are following the steps in your signature, which are in the wrong order. After rooting unlock your bootloader and install a recovery with freegee, also use freegee to back up your efs to dropbox or copy it to PC. Then use recovery to make nandroid and flash a custom ROM.

Alright thanks, so I need to install CWM and unlock the bootloader then do the nandroid. Is there a way to backup the current bootloader?
Freegee must backup bootloaders, but if you have removed bloat apps it will give security error soft brick when you restore. If you made nandroid right after unlocking, that could be restored then relocked with freegee. There is also the lgnpst program that will restore you to stock ROM with locked bootloader.
Ok thanks
