If I connect my phone to the laptop and look at a specific 'backup date' that's saved, on my phone, there is 6 or 7 files within the folder.
If I then copy the backup to the HDD on my laptop and open it there's only 2 files in the folder.
Why ?
Does that mean that if, for whatever reason, I lost my backups on the phone and then copied them from my laptop to my phone, they wouldn't work as a 'restore' because there's 'files missing' ?
Thanks

I am not really aware of thud issue, first off please post the name of the recovery you are using, since nandroid backups differ.
It might be probable that there is an issue while using the usb.
I would suggest following this step.
Download Airdroid (its a way that you can copy files or download files from your phone to your computer and vice versa over the WiFi )
Go to your backup folder , write click on your backup folder and select "download as zip" . Once downloaded try to open the zip file and count the number of files.
Good luck

Concerning the number of files in the TWRP nandroid backups, it differs from one ROM to the other. For me I have about 7 in stock, 8 in CM and 9 with android hd revolution.
If you want to know whether your copying is a success, compare the folder size. Use ES file explorer or any other to total size, then on your computer do the same and compare. But I think its an issue with your USB hubs or the phone itself . Airdroid fixed it to me as I am having laggy usb hubs and so forth and so on, so it saves time.

For whatever reason, 'data.ext3.win' and 'system.ext4.win' are missing ???

Updated TWRP last night and copied backups to laptop this morning using USB cable AND Airdroid.
Same results, files missing. They're on my phone, in case of restore, but can't get them ALL onto laptop.
Tried to copy them onto Ubuntu, it's a dual boot laptop, but that only copies an empty folder ?
Also tried copying from phone direct to USB stick, no joy.
CONFUSED.

Any idea why I can't copy CMR backups to my PC? Weird..
I CAN copy, via MTP, everything else. The Clockwork BUs just gag MTP...permissions seem ok...good thing. Can't change them on SD card. Or so says the error...
Edit: It is the "system image" and "cache" files that are the maggot gaggers...I guess CMR won't let go of them. Doesn't matter which BU date I try. hmmm..
You connect to your PC without USB Debug on, and cant copy and paste to your desktop?\
Edit: What are you trying to do? Save a copy on your computer so you can make a fresh backup without taking up more space? Or trying to load the backup on another device?
Tivo7 said:

I can copy/paste everything except Clockwork Recovery backups. When I try to copy the CMR BUs, I get kicked out of MTP with an error to the effect of "a device attached to the system is not functioning"....then have to do the unplug/replug USB dance. USB debugging is off.

Freeing up space and making secondary backups to PC. Wireless transfers won't work either for CMR backups. Everything else WILL copy. Very odd.

Looks like the the modded CMR that I had flashed when installing Overcomes's ROM was the culprit. At least I think it had something to do with it. Was able to copy/paste/move correctly when I installed the "stock" CMR...all is well.
Now, to get this tab back to Sammy "stock" and get it back to Amazon (Newton's Rings")...gotta luv Amazon...shipped a replacement next-day...In the meantime, I'm going to do some stock vs. rooted experiments of my own...

Hi:

But cannot get files to move to Titanium Backup Folder. No matter what I do, I get the below error message. I have tried moving files via USB, rebooting and trying to move via USB, and shutting down Nook and removing MicroSD card and attaching directly to my computer.
What gives? Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

thats weird... hve you tried with drop box or es eplorer?
I just installed it.
I moved zip file to folder on SDCard then extracted using ES - that worked.
However, when I restored backup, I still have 1.4.0 .
What did I do wrong?
I tried redownloading the unzipme file but when I try to extract the contents, it tells me it is a null file.
That must be a hint of some sort!
I had the same problem. The root cause was that I couldn't copy directly from within the windows "virtual zip folder" to the sdcard. I had to first extract the files to another directory on the computer and then copy from there to the sdcard.

It's a good question-- I did indeed restore the wrong one! Went back and restored the 12/22 version rather than the 12/26 (today's) and voila! I have version 9.9.9.

For all you Shotputterz heres the factory image we've been waiting for
assuming you have debug mode enabled, ADB and fastboot working properly
EDIT 1: REUP'D CWM mod
EDIT 2: reordered process to make more sense
Method:
1. Download the Beta CWM mod from rootzwikis credit to birdman EDIT:REUP'ED http://d-h.st/Fdp
2. Using fastboot, DO NOT FLASH Clockwork mod just use the syntax
"fastboot boot 'File path of clockwork mod image'
Note* this will boot directly into the recovery without permanently writing to the recovery and boot partition on the eMMC on the Nexus Qs board
3. Download the posted CWM factory backup posted
4. make the directory on the device and adb push the backup folder (unzipped) to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup while in CWM recovery
*The device should show up in "adb devices" while in the CWM recovery*
5. *TEXT WILL BE REALLY SMALL! Now navigate with the Scroll wheel to backups and restore and tap the mute button to select.
*IF SOMETHING IS SELECTED IN ERROR THERE IS NO BACK BUTTON JUST REBOOT AND REDO FASTBOOT BOOT*
6. Now select restore and select the image folder
7.blah blah CWM Freaking MAGIC
8. Your Q is back to factory state
If someone wants to PM me or show me how to package this in a nicer CWM zip to install with a script let me know
http://d-h.st/yeo
*Note* I am NOT responsible if you brick your already bricked Nexus Q*
You sir get a beer, since my 2nd (dev) Q won't arrive until later this week, and mine was a shot put until this post.

No unfortunately it didn't--I blew away all partitions other than bootloader so I can't, to my knowledge at least, push the zip since I can't adb.
I've got factory recovery, boot, system imgs but the system img won't push out because of fastboot's apparent inability to handle files that large (1GB exactly I believe).
...I guess I have to patiently await my second Q but the point of having two was to *use* one and have one for dev... rather than have one as a heavy reminder of my overzealous endeavors...
Hopefully I can give it more time while on this SF trip...

The problem I'm having is that ADB is not responding from CWM... at least not on a Windows machine. The drivers are fine as ADB was working in normal mode before my issue sprung up.
EDIT: As suspected Virtual Ubuntu on a Win host didn't see the device, Physical Ubuntu had no issue. NQ reloaded.

Can we do this by say pushing the file to the download folder and then installing from zip?

In step 2 you say make a directory for the file that is posted below. How do I create a directory on the Nexus Q? Currently my Q is stuck in a bootloop after trying to launch CWM from a Galaxy Nexus. If you could post command codes that would be awesome!
I figured it out. You can just follow step #4 and in CWM you can push the CWM Factory img to the /sdcard/Download/ folder and use CWM to unzip and launch.

ok this is really bothering me, i've restored with this factory image several times, and I have to do it again right now and I cannot seem to push this file folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
what am i doing wrong..
it should be:
adb push NexusQFactoryImage /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ (assuming the file is in same folder as adb which it is)
that's it right.... the extracted folder contents in a folder.. not the zip.. so i dont understand why this is not working. Everytime I go to CWM and try to restore it tells me nothing to restore...
what really bothers me is that i've done this a hundred times, and never had this problem..

Download OneClickRestore (it's the factory image straight from Google with the needed fastboot files included)
Extract zip to OneClickRestore
Unplug Nexus Q
Plug in Nexus Q and place hand on it til the leds turn red then remove hand
Launch "flash-all.bat" from the OneClickRestore folder
You may need to do a full reset, it's hit or miss
Another option is push & flash (Nexus Q)uantum Singularity Project RTS ROM from CWM and again may need to hard reset.

The problem with putting Quantum singularity project on is that I can't turn on ADB debug, because i use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, don't have an OTG mouse/keyboard, so somehow I need to be able to connect with adb to setup a bluetooth connected mouse/keyboard
I was thinking to install stock image, and then without wiping install Quantum SIngularity Project over top to preserve the settings for usb debug, on.
what's confusing to me is that i've restored the stock image many times before, and never had a problem.. that's why im wondering what the problem is.. if im typing something wrong.
I used the OneClickRestore as you said, and im just booting it up now
EDIT: didn't get past boot logo, i'll try again
So just to confirm this OneClickRestore is loading the stock nexus Q img right? I've never used it before I usually manually do it
EDIT: still stuck at the nexus q logo before home screen
do you see any error in my commands of trying to push the stock img folder (original post) to "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" ? I've done it many times before never had a problem
Every time, I download a rom it won't go straight to my sd card. When I'm in TWRP recovery, it doesnt show that I install the rom in my download folder. I am running a rom now, but I want a different one, what should I do.
Well... Just select the desired path when you download your preferred ROM.
Are you using your computer to download your ROMs or your phone?

I use my phone and the computer to download Roms. When I connected my phone to the computer, the Rom I install, on my computer, won't go the to my sd card. It says that the Rom is there on my computer, but not in TWRP recovery( Sd Card)
Why don't you create a folder on your phone named like this : 1X+ and transfer every ROMs you want to install in this folder only?
This is what I have done on my phone and it's the very first folder I have in TWRP Recovery, from there in recovery when I click on Install the folder 1X+ is right there on the very first line and any ROMs to flash inside. All I have to do is select and swipe to flash.
Maybe I just don't get what you are trying to explain to us.... if so Sorry.

Why don't you create a folder on your phone named like this : 1X+ and transfer every ROMs you want to install in this folder only?
This is what I have done on my phone and it's the very first folder I have in TWRP Recovery, from there in recovery when I click on Install the folder 1X+ is right there on the very first line and any ROMs to flash inside. All I have to do is select and swipe to flash.

Okay I have a folder, where I download Roms to. When I download a Rom, it won't go to that folder. I use different folders, the same thing happens, it won't show up in the folders, where I put the rom to.
Are you unzipping them before putting them in your folder?
They must stay as a .zip file otherwise they are not recognized.

Im not unzipping them, I download the rom from my computer to my sd card and it doesn't show up on my sd card, when I'm in TWRP recovery, that's my problem. The Rom is not in the folder, where I put it at. On my computer, it say shows that my rom is there( In my folder, where I put the rom at) but not in TWRP recovery
You should try to ask about your issue on the TWRP dedicated IRC chat : http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=twrp

Okay thank man, it's pretty annoying knowing, that you can't install a rom, you want.
Have u ran cm10 recently? When I did it swithed all my stuff to sd card0 I think is what it was named all stuff would show up in file explorer but I would have to navigate to sdcard0 in recovery to find my stuff...hope this helps

Every time, I download a rom it won't go straight to my sd card. When I'm in TWRP recovery, it doesnt show that I install the rom in my download folder. I am running a rom now, but I want a different one, what should I do.

It sounds like you are downloading the rom to your computer, plugging the phone in to the computer booted in TWRP and trying to install. If so this will not work. The zip needs to go on your phones SD card. Also you may be wiping incorrectly. What options are you selecting.

Anything I download won't go straight to my SD card (such as Roms and flashing mods, etc). When I download a Rom on my phone, it won't go to my SD card, so I can install it in TWRP recovery and when I try to download a rom it won't appear in TWRP recovery, in my download folder.
I decided to go from (Rom){Sense5 4.2.2} Stock+ *9.1.2013 to CM1.2. I made a nandroid in twrp, rebooted into system to move my recovery onto my windows 7 machine (as i have done a couple times in the past). I am able to locate the back up, but when i try to drag it to my desktop only 2 files move. boot.emmc.win and boot.emmc.win.md5 the other files dont copy.
I can manually move 4 other files data.ext4.win000.md5 data.ext4.win001.md5 system.ext4.win.md5 and recovery txt
what does not transfer over is seems to be the 3 ext4 files the 2 labled data.ext4 and system.ext4
nothing happens at all when i try and drag them onto the desktop folder, nor does ne thing happen if try and cut and paste them.
Ne help would be wonderful i would love to save my back up b4 i flash this rom.
Thank you in advance for your help
From what I understand, it is part of the security in TWRP. Ran into the same thing myself. Backups from pre-6.1 TWRP moved fine, new one wouldn't. The best thing I found was to use the file manager inside TWRP to copy the backup. Useful for moving between Sense 4 and 5 Roms. Not real comforting if you don't have a removable card...

You can use ADB, I did it successfully, from Twrp 2.0.6
the adb backups are saved in >.C:/ Users/computer name/backups
adb pull /data/media/0/TWRP

worked like a charm thank you much
What I do is back up to a USB stick using a USB OTG cable. It makes the whole process a lot easier, but backups and restorations take longer to complete.
