Hello, for some reason a nandroid backup of mine turned up with a missing nandroid md5. I tried to delete the backup in cwmr and in root explorer with no luck. Any clues?

Try hooking to a PC and deleting the file from there.

I couldn't find any statement that answers my question. My friend is interested in rooting his phone to backup his apps with TB. His phone is currently stock (4.5.141). Is there a root method where the phone is not reset to factory? It would defeat the point of rooting if he looses all his data.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

If he backs it up through titanium he can use a root browser and copy the file to ext-sdcard, factory reset doesn't erase that. You could also put the backup on a computer via USB if he doesn't have an ext-sdcard. Be sure to put the file back in the proper directory after wiping.

It was my understanding TB would not be able to backup anything unless it had root access in the first place..

Oh sorry I misread your OP. Yes titanium needs root to perform backups. If you try the USB method you can pull files from the phone and sdcard and store them on your computer.
Edit- also just rooting shouldn't reset data, unless your unlocking the bootloader as well

I'm sorry can you point me to the thread that has this USB method? Also do you know of any method that roots without deleting his data?

hi guys,,
I have a problem here...so here it is..
I wanted to install titanium backup but I could do it, it says I didn't have enough storage. Of course, I have more than enough. So, use root explorer, go to system/data/app/ and search for a file with titanium backup odex extension and want to delete it., but the strange thing is I can't find any titanium backup odex..
so what should I do?
Apps you install go to /data/app and there is no odex file. Thats only for system apps.

Hi! Ive got an issue here, i flashed a new rom but i didnt know that i have to backup efs folder first. So after i flash the new rom i tried to back up the efs folder but i didnt find it. I searched a litle bit and downloaded the ktool and then i backup my efs folder. It did backup something because now i have an efs.img and a efs.tar.gz file in my sdcard. I dig up a litle bit more and installed astro file manager to see if i could see where was efs folder. Finnaly i found it but this folder is empty. Can someone tell me why? My phone is still working and when i dial *#06# i still have my imei number. Can someone explain what is going on here? Thanks a lot.
Can you still make calls and have a network signal?

Download k tools and do a backup asap. If you can make calls you are safe. If it's not working flash to stock rom.

Yes i can still make calls and have network signal.
Are you still rooted? That could be the reason a system folder appears to be empty.

But why is my efs folder empty? and what did ktool backuped?
What if i want to flash another rom?
If you still have root open SU and update binaries. Otherwise try estongs file manager and enable root explorer in settings of estongs. Then try the efs folder.

It is normal if the file explorer doesn't have root permission. I haven't used astro in a while so can't comment on that but e srtongs file explorer is great. I had the same problem a while ago and found out I had not checked the root explorer options in the settings of e strongs. Once I did that, all the files were there.

Thank you very much, i did what you said with estrongs and the files were there. I was starting to loose my mind
Thank you to all of you :good:
I don't think astro is a root file explorer but I haven't used it in a while so could be wrong. I'm using especially file explorer right now and everything is fine in efs.

I have the same problem as OP, but with es file explorer my efs folder still shows as empty. My phone still works. calls and data. MEID is still intact. No back up of efs folder was made. Any help would be appreciated.

The only way to restore an efs folder is with a backup or service with voided warranty.

Do you know if a "backup" that I made with cwm after rooting (I'm no longer rooted) and before attempted flashing, would contain the missing efs? I did not make a actual backup of the efs folder... Thanks.
No cwm does not backup efs .

It usually doesn't, but you can give it a try.
Or try ariza's patch : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601

Look in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.

Bingo! Why that folder? And the backup size is 1.6gb so it looks good but its not restoring.

I own the g2 vs980. I am running malladus. I had a nandroid backup of cleanrom. In an effort to free up space late last night I opened cwm app and deleted my backup if clean rom. I would like to recover it. I know of tools like diskdigger apk, but I don't know if it will recognize the format since (I believe) inside the backup file folder there are many files that comprise the nandroid backup. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. I did not do any factory resets since the delete. I know the files should still be there. I have done very little on the phone so the data should still be intact... for now. Thanks
