Yes. Don't delete the clockworkmod backup folders, just the folders with the specific backups in.
files with date
The backup files that I have moved its named like this : 2013-05-29-21.01.29 inside that folder there's 12 files
Havent deleted anything yet.

Sorry, to be clear, leave the folder structure \clockworkmod\backup - only move / delete the dated folders as above.
You need to keep the structure so you know where to put the backups if you need to restore them back. They need to be in the same place so the recovery sees them

Use a root file explorer and look in data/media. If you see the CWM folder there, move that folder into your data/media/0 folder, and then you should be able to see it from your pc.

Hi, Everyone
I was attempting to make a new backup of my HTC one using TWRP. For some odd reason, I can't find the file when I browse my phone SD. The TRWP folder has the old backup, but when I attempt to do a restore I can see the new files. I tried using the ES explorer app to find the missing backup files but nothing. I know for a fact that these files are stored somewhere and they are taking space on my HTC. Can I restored to an early restore and it will delete these files?
I'm new to the Android scene and still learning. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
I was able to make a new folder in the /SD and copy the files to that location. Then I deleted the folder.
So I got this game from Humble Bundle and installed in on my DNA, I've been playing it for 13 hours and was forced to reinstall it. I copied my save file on to my computer to put back in the game once I reinstalled it, but I won't load the save file now. Anyone have any issues with this or any ideas as to how I can get it to work??
Thanks.
Many games store info in /data/data folder... Is that what you backed up? (ie com.gameloft.android.etc.etc) I use Titanium Backup because it will also backup the additional files like the example above.

I just grabbed the save file off the phone and copied it to my desktop computer, and then copied it back.

He is asking what "file" did you think you grabbed? Did the file explorer need root permissions to grab this save? Last I checked permissions for save games need root access and are stored in the /data partition, not your SD card or internal SD

Hi there,i'm new with android stuff and i need someone who can explain me how can i put .obb files in DEVICE MEMORY.
Some of the games for example have that extension .obb,i understand that needs to be placed in internal memory \Android\Data\Obb and then install that .apk file.
My problem?! i cant acces DEVICE MEMORY(2Gb) , i only can on INTERNAL MEMORY(16Gb).
Sony xperia P (LT22i)
Build number 6.2.A.1.100
I have rooted my phone and updated to 4.1.2
I use AP file Manager Pro.
If someone can explain me step by step i will be much grateful.

But you answered your question yourself, you need to put the .OBB file in android\data\obb folder of your phone memory, and best use a computer to do this, or ES files explorer

that's strange, here try this, download dead trigger 2 and look where it's installed, then you'll see where you have to copy game files

ASEC containers are partition images anyway, if you have the actual app already installed move it back to /data using Link2SD then it will have files in the standard locations (/data/app, /data/data, /sdcard/Android)... but then OBB always goes to media partition IIRC

I haven't tried asphalt, but if the app was dl'd through play store, shouldn't the obb file be already in the correct location? (sdcard/Android/(file folder)/.obb file)? Now I understand op is trying to move files from PC to phone. Even if he moved the apk to /data/app or install it the location of the .obb file will not change. Regardless of the apk being installed or not, unless he downloads it through the app, which is not the case. He needs to copy it in the correct location.

Lol. I apologize. I must have misunderstood your post.
I had been using Fouad whatsapp v8.12 for quite some time and it was working flawlessly until 20th February when they released a new update with V8.26.
The problem is it starts absolutely fine but I can't seem to restore my recently backed up msgs, when I try to restore on the main screen, it says
No backup found in sdcard/whatsapp/
And when I try to restore the backup from fuoad settings after verification it still gives me the same msg.
It automatically restores some very old msgs from last year although I made a new backup.
Any help would be appreciated, I've already tried several suggestions that were helpful before but none seem to be working now.
Did you find the answer to your problem?
If anyone has any solution please do share
The only solution I found out was to clean install fouad and the skipping the first step where it asks me to restore and it automatically picked the backup file from the folder.
Don't know if it'll work for you but it worked for me.

You need to put the backup file in the backup folder that fuoad whatsapp creates

I think it's the folder with numbers, what you can do it clear all the storage of fuoad whatsapp by renaming the backup file, open the fuoad whatsapp application and then see which folders it creates and put your backups in that folder.
I stopped using fuoad whatsapp sometime ago due to the same issues of backup on google drive, so this is what I remember the last time I faced this issue.
i just formated my phone and the app cant read the backup file any help ?
