Hello,
I recently flashed my phone back to stock after running a custom rom, before i flashed the custom rom i did take a nandroid of the stock rom, today i tried to restore my nandroid which i saved on my computer, CMW tells me "Couldn`t open directory. No files found." I`ve tried to put the folder in /mnt/extsdcard/clockworkmod/backup, with no luck
Can someone please help me and tell me whats wrong or what can fix it
Thanks for any help
Are you copying the exact same files? Which cwm are you using? What backup method do you use? (Tar/blob)
If you've backed up with blobs abs since then flashed later cwm's (which now use tar as default) it may not find that back up.

My backup consists of mostly tar files
This is what the backup folder contains:
System.ext4.tar
Nandroid.md5
recovery.img
data.ext4.tar
Boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
I`m using CMW v.5.5.0.4 CF- v1.5
Thanks for the quick reply.

I`m not sure which CMW i backed it up with, but anyway i took a new backup and let cmw make it`s own folder on my sd card then i just pasted the old backup in the folder and it worked. Thanks for the help!

Hi, JJE
I am experiencing a similar situation. I understand I need to roo again the phone using the exact same CWM version I did my bkp with.
The thing is I don't seem to find that CWM version. Is there a place where I can try CWM from version 4.x to 6.x?
Thanks

It`s another way to make a restore if I did a backup with CWM?
What did you backup ???
On what phone and what app to backup .
What CWM recovery are you using .
or are you trying to restore a backup from a different phone ??
Post is rather confusing .
jje

MD5 is a way to control a TAR file.
It will missmath as well if you try to access the file via 7-Zip for instance.
Try to find same file elseware from the web, or excrtact end rebuild a direct tar file.
Good luck
I don't like CWM4 on CF-root
The reason i don't like it is: It makes the recovery disappear after about a day of use, Then i have to reflash, i don't want to do that.
CWM removes it's self for me
The thing i don't like about CF-Root, is and this may be my fault, It freezes some of my rooted apps that freeze bloatware (Easy Freezy) and it also removes the custom recovery by it's self
When i go into the app and click reboot recovery, it boot into Android system recovery.
I then have to reflash in order to get ClockworkMod back.
This other Root meathord: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Does NOT freeze some rooted apps like Easy Freezy and Adfree like CF root does for some reason.
Help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
I've been searching for information about Mobile Odin and CWM, and I remember seeing a post (I think from Chainfire himself), which contained the phrase "MO does not support backups (yet)" - I've searched & searched, but I can't find the post again
Does anyone else remember seeing this, or have any idea when Chainfire is likely to include this capability ?

NO DIRECT ANSWER BUT:
U want to make a Backup, right?
So why u don't use CMW?
If u want to do this while phone is running..
Why u don't use "Online Nandroid Backup"?

Thanks, but I'm running the leaked JB XXLSJ, with PhilZ Touch 3, so I've already got CWM capability
I just thought it would be "nice" if Chainfire was close to including a backup facility in Mobile Odin, also, I didn't want to rile Chainfire by PM'ing him
ps. I did try Online Nandroid Backup, but I couldn't get round the error "mkyaffs2image not found "

Yes, I did apply the patch, but I've just re-downloaded & installed Online Nandroid Backup, re-patched it, and run another backup, and it completed Ok with no error message this time - I guess it's probably a newer version since I tried it before.
However I am now concerned about my backup sizes ...
OND is reporting that my OND backup is 1.25Gig, but my My Philz/CWM backups are all only about 16-17Mb ?
(see OND screenshot)

U can be sure that the 16-17MB backup isn't ok...
So use the OND backup with 1,25GB

The main backup file is kept in a different place since cwm updated, You can still use cwm to backup and restore safely, and if you like it old school, changing the backup format will do it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.

I emailed OND's developer, and he confirmed that it's because the CWM v6.x backup data files are now in the clockworkmod blobs sub-folder
I will try changing the backup format though

I deleted all my backups using the CWM and OND menus, but there were still loads of files left, so I manually emptied the Clockworkmod and blobs folders, changed the CWM backup to .tar format, and ran a CWM backup followed by a OND backup
CWM .tar backup size is now 1.6Gig, OND backup is now 1.27Gig

Maybe it's because of the compression type(onandroid must be using a higher compression method), anyway CWM is definitely more secure.

Hi, I am having trouble restoring a nand backup. It cannot find the file on either int or ext sd. The only time it did was when I was on extsd and had missed out the blob folder but then it stopped at the recovery point with an error.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Ive been trying various things and looking on the net for the past four hours.
Where did you put the backup ?.
Smells like you wiped backup.

Hey guys i just recently rooted my phone
Before doing so i made a back up on ClockWorkMod 5.5.0.4 however when i try to restore it, it says no files found?
I haven't changed any of the file names/moved the files and i can see the files still on my internal SD card e.g. Sdcard/0/Clockworkmod/backup
I have even updated my CWM to version 6.0.3.1 yet still does not find the files
Anyone can help?
Thank you
I'm not familiar with original cwm. When you flash 4.2 roms, /sdcard becomes /sdcard/0
I know in philz recovery based on cwm, you can change this location but cwm no idea

Copy the backup files to /data/media/Clockworkmod/backup and see if they can be found then

Thanks bro i appreciate it - your advice worked!
It found the backup file straight away but i havent launched it yet.
Just wondering what does the restore feature do exactly...does it reset my rom to stock and recovery to the stock android recovery?

No problem
Your phone will go back to how it was when you made the backup.
The recovery / modem wont be touched so you'll still have CWM.
Sorry i forgot to mention that then is when i made the backup file..while i had the stock rom
Also im guessing if you use the recovery..it does NOT un-root your phone?
If the stock ROM was rooted when you backed it up, you phone will remain rooted if you restore that backup.
Thanks guys for all your help really do appreciate it

Yes. All basebands will work. Some better than others, but that is not possible to know which work best for someone without trying them all.

Have a read there.
Consider replacing cwm recovery with philz where you can change locations

I just did a downgrade to stock 4.1.1 using Odin (which flashed it back to stock recovery), but before I downgraded (I was on 4.2), I did a nandroid backup in CWM.
After the downgrade to 4.1.1, I reflashed recovery with the newest version of CWM using the unified toolkit and tried to recover the nandroid backup, but it said no file found. The backup was already on my external sdcard, so then I tried moving it to another folder as mentioned in this thread, but that didn't work either. I didn't have that exact directory as it was posted, but I didn't think that would matter, so long as it was copied over from external to internal or vice versa.

i coulnt find the clockwork folder as told above, yet i have clockwork 6.0.4.7 installed. help plz Using Ressurection remix 6.0 on my Note 3 SM-N900L. Root folder just shows data/media and no clockwork folder is there.
My galaxy player 4.0 is rooted and has the stock rom with the terrasilent 1.3.5 kernel installed. I attempted to follow this thread to backup the EFS and such before installing a custom ROM image. However, after attempting the first backup command (the one for EFS) the command prompt responded there was no such location. Can anyone direct me on how to fix this or what tutorial I should be using instead? Thank you.
Hello,
Try to replace "sdcard" with "mnt/sdcard"
Good luck,

you could just take your efs folder using a file explorer and create a zip of your efs which would mean that you would have to manually restore i though
