Hey everyone. I installed jelly bean on my gs3 and i didn't liked it (a little lugging). Thank God i made a backup before this process using cwm. But now when i tried to open this app in my phone it said something about application version. I tried using sgs3 toolkit but my phone now cannot boot into the system and using the recovery image i cannot find the restore folder (which i managed to copy it the sd card before). How can i restore my phone using that backup i have done before??
So you have a backup, but it does not work, or you can not find it?

I have a backup but since my phone won't boot i do not know how to install it. I have that backup on my pc too..
Boot into recovery (vol up, home & power) and restore...

Maybe you should try booting to download mode and flashing stock via odin and worry about your backup after your phone is in working order

When i go into recovery and press restore it says it does not locate any file to use. But i have copied the backup folder before all this mess to the root of the phone.
Does anyone knows how to use sgs3 toolkit to restore??
di you put your backup into /clockwordmod/backup?!? i mean it should be there but if it isnt it would be unecessary to do a full fresh install

Try and get the restore folder on your extSdCard and make sure you try to restore from ext sd in CWM.

When i go into recovery there is not a choice to make backup or restore. Also i do not have an external sd card..
Flash CF root and CWM recovery as it looks like you have stock recovery .

What do you mean? You can't find the folder where you backed up to? You don't have sdcard/clockworkmod/backup?

So you don't have CWM? Just flash it with the toolkit
Ok done it. When i reboot the screen is black but the boot sound is playing normally, so i cannot see anything although it seems that the phone is on. Also when i boot into recovery mode and i try mount the phone, nothing happens..
Ok sorry for being so misunderstood, it is because i try at the same time to fix it.. Here how it is right now, when i boot in my phone the boot sound is playing but the screen is black. For the recovery image part, i have flashed cwm but when i go in recovery mode i cannot mount the phone to copy the backup file in cwn folder. And as i said before i already have a backup folder which i want to use to restore my phone. That's all that matters right now..Thank you for your answers btw
Just restore the backup
That is the point,i cannot do that.
So the backup is not on your phone?
Before messing up the phone i copied it on internal sd card, but not in the backup folder of cwm but on the root of the phone
When in recovery, open adb on the computer, type
shell
mv -r [YOUR BACKUP FOLDER PATH] sdcard0/clockworkmod/backup
Or actually, the more straightforward way would be to wipe data, then boot the device and move the backup folder into the cwm directory from there
I'll appreciate if someone could help me here as I'm new to ROM flashing etc.
I have the stock ROM atm and want to install CyanogenMod 10.1.
I have read the guide but there are a few points that I'd like to clarify,which are not really explained in the guide.
I understand that I have to wipe everything to install the new ROM.
I have TWRP and have just made a full backup, after installing the new ROM,can I get all my stuff back, eg. messages,contacts,apps settings and messages(e.g viber messages) and so on?
if yes, how do I do so?
Thanks

You should use your applications to backup your messages / settings etc. if it is supported.
You need to create a folder named 0 in root of the virtual SD card and move all your contents under 0 folder.
Of course you need to flash the ROM with a compatible kernel..
After installing the new ROM, I've tried to restore the data that I backed up using TWRP but it didn't work.
Now I want to go back to the stock rom and I tried to restore my last backup but it's stuck on the htc splash screen.
I believe I need to fastboot the stock boot.img file but I don't have anywhere, where can I get it from?
Now I'm in a very desperate situation. I've been searching for a stock boot.img file so I could restore back everything.
I thought I found one, I used fastboot to flash the recovery.img file and then went to recovery to restore my backup
now all the data has disappeared ! no restore files etc !
what shall I do?

recovery.img is not kernel (boot.img).
Flash TWRP recovery image again and hopefully you will find your backups... Never tried such funny things, so not sure ...

can you please tell me where I can find both the kernel(boot.img) and twrp.img ?
and do I use the same process to flash the twrp.img file?(e,g fastboot boot twrp.img)?

If you did not format /data partition in recovery, your data should still be there, but it sounds like there's something messed up with the /0 folder on your virtual sdcard, created due to multi user feature of android 4.2.
I suggest you chose a rom you'd like to try, flash the correct boot.img (kernel) for this rom, and then install rom using "adb sideload" command.
You should then be able to find your previous sdcard content on your phone using a root explorer and if necessary move it to the right sdcard folder for your android version:
Android 4.1: /data/media/
Android 4.2: /data/media/0/
if it's in the right place you should be able to backup your data to your computer, where it is safe while you can try whatever rom pleases you.

Thank you
I already made a full backup before trying cyanmod and just to be sure I saved the folder of the backup inside my pc; however I can't fiind the stoch boot.img file that I need to flash it back to stock rom.
toolkit
put the cm 10.1 in your phone. your bootloader has to be unlocked, you must be rooted, and have a custom recovery, everything so far ? next what i do is i go into bootloader flash the boot.img then go into recovery and flash the rom and gapps.Use hassons toolkit to flash the cm 10.1 boot.img.

Ok, I managed to isntall cyanmod again but I can't find my previous data, all pics,music and everything is gone.
I didn't format the data so it must be somewhere but can't find it.
I can see any folder called 0 or 1 in the data folder
PS: FINALLy I managed to restore my last backup, all the settings and apps seems to be fine the backup retained all the settings, apps,messages etc.
however I lost all the music, pics etc.
I didn't format and I remember someone mentioned that they might be somewhere else, where can they be? as I can't see any path called data/media
there's a "data" folder in the device but is empty
Thanks
It should be on the root of your Virtual SD card - as it was...
However if you backup normally - music etc are not backed up.
If there is a 0 named folder in root of your VSD - check there...

yes there is a folder called "0" in the following path /sdcard/0
but is empty . I mean it has all the folder names (e.g music,dcim) but all are empty.
in Addition: If I check how much free space I have in my phone ,it says 55.6GB ,so its sort of emtpy :/

You must use a file explorer with root function and you actually have to grant superuser access for it, otherwise /data folder will be displayed as empty. As i said if you did not format /data partition in TWRP, your data should still be there.

ah sry, didn't read that. then it's most probably deleted... you can still check your /data/media/ folder with a root explorer, but it seem your data is gone...
I can't believe it, I didn't even format or anyting like that.
I had some important stuff in it and it's all gone now :/
Can someone tell me if there's a way to do a complete backup that includes media as well?
I'd like to try to cyanmod because ive lost all my data anyway, so what is the best way to restore all my apps,messages,contacts etc. once I've installed cyanmod?

change the cm10.1 name to just rom.zip then push

The only way to backup your virtual sdcard is copying the content to your computer.
So you're now back on stock rom or any rooted rom?
If you're rooted you can backup your apps and app settings with Titanium Backup, without root you should try Helium - App Sync and Backup. For messages you can use SMS Backup & Restore and the Contacts app has an export function.
After you made all these backups, copy all the content of your phones internal memory to your computer, so these backups are safe.
Then you can try any rom you want, copy back the sdcard contents and restore your backups.

These sort of backups seem to be a headache. The only good one seem titanium backup ,which I believe has the batch option but you have to pay for it; i heard is worth it.
I am back to my original rom,which isn't stock(i forgot that I had a custom rom lol) but revolution.
The app that you've suggested are very specific, for example I have kik,viber etc and these don't have a backup functionality-will I be using titanium for them too? does titanium do a full backup of contacts and messages as well?
I installed TWRP 2.6.0.1 as one guides suggested.
I used it to do backups and install the Google rom (that has all a sort of problems). So I waned to go back to my backup but they were not showing in the backup list even if I could them under /sdcar/TWRP/BACKUP/...
After backing up another file I can see the new file.
I installed ROM Toolkit that can see the old backups but it fails to install them because try to get them from /internal_sd/ (or it was /external_sd ?) instead of /sdcard
What is going on?
Did I installed the wrong TWRP or what?
Moved to Q & A, please don't post something in development forums unless you are releasing something.

What I did was create a new backup using twrp then I used my file explorer to find the twrp folder and found where the new backup was made. I then moved over my old backup into that folder and when rebooted into recovery it found it

Using XtreSoLite ROM on a Galaxy S5. When I do a TWRP backup (default settings) and I target my external SD card (64GB SanDisk microSD), the backup succeeds and I can go back to the main TWRP menu and verify that the backup was created in a new folder called 'TWRP' on the SD card. However, once I boot into the system and get past the unlock screen, that TWRP folder is deleted from the SD card along with the backup.
All of the other files on the SD card are untouched, just anything to do with TWRP is removed.
Any idea what could cause this? I searched the thread for my specific ROM with no luck regarding this issue.
I have this issue as well running the stock rom. I also have the 64 gb card. Near as I can tell something about the way TWRP is writing the files to the file system (exfat) android doesnt like and corrects which removes the files. If I pull the card out of the phone before booting android I can see the files on the PC. The work around I'm currently using is to mount an external USB storage to do my backup, then copying the backup to the SD card in android.

Hey there guys...its happening to me as well and its annoying because you cant rely in your backups!
Any solution or just that SD take out workaround? Its kinda dangerous because you can corrupt the SD by doing this often!

TWRP Backups being deleted at boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My solution for this error:
--Device S5 mini G800F
--TWRP 2.8.1
--MicroSD 64Gb
--TotalCommander for android instaled.
Step by Step:
1. Boot in recovery mode.
2. Create and save your backup into extSDCard (TWRP/backups folder).
* Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = my last backup folder name created automatically by TWRP.
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 = backup date and time
-- XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = phone and rom model/version
3. Open File Manager in TWRP and copy your backup folder (2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY) from extSDCard to internal memory.
4. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
5. Open TotalCommander and navigate to extSDCard/backup folder (extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc)
6. Create new folder and rename it with your backup name folder. *Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
7. Go to internal memory (copied backup folder) and copy all files to created folder in step 6.
8. Restart in recovery mode, run file manager in TWRP and delete backup folder from internal memory.
9. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
10. Finish.
Hello,
After much time and effort I was able to restore my watch to stock to get the newest OTA. Here is everything for those of you who have TWRP and are rooted, so you don't have to bother restoring to stock just to re-root and replace the recovery!

I also don't know how to update the system using your images. I know how to sideload and I also have twrp working. Never flashed an img to a wearable so if you don't mind explain how to would be great.

You flash the stock recovery using fastboot.
Fastboot flash recovery /location/of/stock_recovery.img
This isn't necessary unless you want stock recovery flashed or to be able to take future official OTAs directly from Google/asus
The system and boot are in twrpon backup format. Make a small backup on your watch of the cache partition, just so the twrp backuo folder gets created (which is unique to your device). Then adb push the folder you downloaded from this thread (with the build number and date I backed it up, not the parent folder that contains the stock recovery) to /sdcard/TWRP/<your_serial_number>/
Then, on your watch, use to to restore the system and boot. Wipe the cache on your watch and restart. You will not be updated without have to factory reset/wiping data partition.
If you try to flash stock recovery and get error BC your bootloader is locked. You will have to wipe data partition when you unlock bootloader by issuing command
fastboot oem unlock
Please let me know if you have any other questions

Download the files, place them in the TWRP/Backups/(RandomHASH) directory using the directory name he has in his Drive folder, remount System RW (that one threw me off for a few), then run a TWRP restore. You don't have to sideload anything, since TWRP will let you see the watch as a drive (at least under WIN7, haven't tried anything else).

I'm glad you were able to pull this.
I woke up this morning to find my watch sitting in TWRP because it had tried to update. I just flashed this, and so far, so good.
Fair warning to everyone: TWRP will restore the boot in the recovery, even if you tell it not to(TWRP bug?)! If you use a different kernel just reflash it after you restore this backup.
do i just put everything on a folder named 2016-06-22--20-06-49_mwd59 and then just flash via twrp?

You have to make a twrp backup just so a backup folder with your unique hash has been created (just backup cache partition to do this). Then push the 2016-06-22--20-06-49_mwd59 folder into /sdcard/TWRP//
(You'll see a similarly named folder in that directory from the backup you did yourself)
Then use the restore function of twrp to restore the system and boot from the backup folder you got from this thread.
Then wipe your cache partition and you should be good to go!

I can confirm that this steps are working:
Backup anything from TWRP (just to create the folder).
Inside the newly created folder (sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/XXXXXXXXXXXXX --> XXXXXXX folder is one created by TWRP ) place the folder from Drive (the folder itself, no need to change the name).
Then from TWRP perform a Restore and select the one with the name from Drive.
Also note that I lose root, and dunno how to recover it. With this update UI is way faster and connects to BT and WIFI better too.

I can confirm that this steps are working:
Backup anything from TWRP (just to create the folder).

You'll have to reflash SuperSU wear BC its overwritten when your restore the boot partition. Busybox will also have to be reinstalled if you need it BC that is overwritten when you restore the system partition

I forgot to restore boot, now my battery life is being sucked dry! I'm guessing it's stock recovery, though, even though I unticked that option. Someone in here said it was a bug in TWRP. So I guess I could just fastboot flash twrp, then push the zip and flash it?
