I flashed cwm 6.0.3.2 to my device samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2 jellybean, rooted, using a tutorial on xda. One of the reasons I flashed it was to create a nandroid backup. But when I try to backup my phone, it backs up boot image, recovery, system, and then it begins backing up data. After some time I got an error, "error while creating backup image of /data". Also when I rebooted my device after this, I saw that my external sd card (where the backup was getting stored) was totally full. So is this a problem with my storage?? Do I need more free space to create a nandroid backup?? Btw, I have 2 GB free memory on my external sd card. Plz guide me... Thanks...

M a N00b i admit , well i jst want to know how to make a nandroid backup...with simple step, even i heard after making back up the phone goose back to factory default .?
Make a custom recovery first.Then nandroid backup it.Basically a nandroid backup is like saving your 'gameplay'. Its just for backup purpose before you flash another ROM.
Custom ROM instructions:

Well i have run nandroid back up and they are in my sd card. and if i want to flash my phone, i will have to wipe my sd card. won't that delete nandroid folder from the card?
Guys I also want to ask following:
1. I am on void delta. Before installing void, I had rooted my phone and installed custom recovery and thereafter I made a simple nandroid backup(without android secure or ext. Now, if i restore that nandroid backup, will I still have the custom recovery?
2. I have void with 784 mb partition on sd for apps. And I have about 298 apps installed (almost used 90% of ext partition).
Can I make a complete nandroid backup of system, data and ext? And will it be restorable? Kindly answer both the questions.
Thanks to all you great people.

Sure it will. That's why you should backup everything from the SD to your computer before partitioning it.

1. Yes.
2. If you have enough free space on the FAT partition of the SD I don't see why it shouldn't be possible. Although some people reported problems when trying to restore a NAND backup. Haven't tried it myself yet, so this is just hearsay.

Hi all
I have rooted my phone using the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V2.0 by mskip. I have been trying to create a backup of the stock rom on my phone, but when I try to in CWM recovery I get error message "error while making a backup image of / data". Can anyone help me with this or tell me how to make a backup of the stock rom.
Cheers in advance

When you do a backup, the .android_secure folder form the external sd is backed up as .android_secure.img (It's hidden in the backup set and not included in the md5 checksum). This always gets backed up, even in an advanced backup where data is excluded.
Then when you try to do a full_restore from this backup, after it restores /data it attemps to restore .android_secure.img and fails formatting the device, which kicks CWM out of the restore function and back to the main menu.
I've not tried it with the sdcard removed. I didn't know it would fall back to the internal sdcard. Easiest way around the issue (for now) is to erase .android_secure.img from your backup folders.the backup folder will be pushed to thr cwm folder in /data/media internal storage and your phone will reeboot into cwm to restore the nandroid backup...If you use samsung toolkit ; the point n5 is the backup and restore entry ,then passes to the point n10 and performs restore \data\media (internal virtual sd card) if the backup is done correctly you will have no problems ...
Cheers for the advice but I used the complete tool kit and made a back up that way.
my s3 is unable to restore nandroid backup until restoring data proses.
it will give error restoring data thus stop the proses.
already tried backup in internal & external memory but still fails.
my cwm version is 5.5.0.4 cf-v1.5
need advice & help.
i dont have problem with my s2.
thanks.
What a coincidence. I was going to send similar post . Yesterday I experienced the same problem. I wanted to go back to ICS from JB but CWM failed to restore data. Fortunately I had titanium backup as well, so I could restore all my applications.
The error message was "Error while restoring /data!". I have recovery.log if someone wants to look at it.
Use the same CF Root version and CWM to restore that was used to backup sometimes helps .
jje
I used the same version for backup and restore.
Maybe you should try touch recover 6.0.1.2
It work fine for me
Can I restore my old backups with touch recover?
Try using advanced restore and reinstall the components separately

Yes backward compatibility.
Ok. Will try it in future. Already recovered all my data from titanium backup.
never had this problem myself, have you checked the size of the backups, if they are less than 700 meg the backup process may not have worked, was there enough space on your're SD card to do the backup in the first place?.
Try copying the backup to the other SD card, does it copy ok, if so try to restore from there. Seems to be there has to be a reason for this that you should try to get the bottom of.
My backup was around 3.5GB. There was over 9GB free space on sdcard and 5GB free on extsdcard. Don't think there was not enough space.
i have backup & restored in internal & external memory yet the restoration of data still failed.
in addition i have tried restoring nandroid by "advance restore from internal sdcard" step by step & still failed when restoring data.
noted that i have used the same version on cwm with my nandroid.
hope someone able to give me a solution for my problem.
i never have this problem with my S2.
Problem solved!
I have manage to successfully restored my nandroid backup by flashing cwm touch recovery 6.0.1.2 from this thread click here.
:victory:
Same problem as kakiboyer, except a bit funkier.
got the 64GB microSD card off amazon popped it in and it just just went. no formatting no nothing.
backed up my original stock image using cwm5.5 and saved it onto the external SD card.
then flashed supernexus build 5 which gave a problem with my external 64GB SD card when i turned it on,it said it was damaged and needed a reformat (not fat32 im guessing) either way the flash was fine, i just need to reclaim the stuff on my 64GB SD card.
I then tried restoring to my original image and then removing the data that way, but instead i got the /data error (hence why i'm here).
Same set up as kakiboyer by the way.
using cwm version 5.5.0.4 cf-v1.5
so when i updated to cmw touch 6.0 it now can't see the external sd card (only the internal one).
BUT when i flash back to 5.5 it can see the external SD as well as the original backups, all my music/movie files etc. on the external SD.
So since the OS can't see the card, touch 6.0 can't see it and i can't revert back to the original image; how can i get my stuff off this SD card?
Fixed it!
Slapped the sd card into my windows machine and ran "chkdsk F: /r" with F: been whatever the sd card is!
got everything back, it was extFAT so copied everything off, reformatted to fat32 and put everything back on.
Happy days!
Hi friends I have a GTI9300 and i had the official JB 4.2.1 on it. So i want it to try the Pre=Release JB 4.2.2 so i backup my rom trough CWM so then i went and installed I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_OXA trough Odin and it delete my cwm backups arggg so I'm searching how to recover it from the internal SD of the pone if any one can help me i be grateful
you mean you did a factory reset? you can't recover any files after that.
check /data/media
Your CWM backup where ???not on the ext sd card but the internal one .
If yes to INT SD then no recovery only if backup is on ext sd or copy on PC .
jje
i'm afraid i did the Factory resset format cache format data and format system but the thing is i did this before and my backups were still there i guess when i install the JB 4.2.2 Odin it format the whole internal memory so on the backup i had important files i would like to know if it is posible to recover the image of that backup!!!
so did you check /data/media? if you formatted the internal sd, you can't recover the data
There is no official 4.2.1, if you went from 4.1 to 4.2 then your data should still be in the memory, inside a folder called '0'. If you did format the internal storage then it's gone for ever.

Hi guys,
I own a S3 and for one year I just dealed with the stock ROM, just root access. Saturday I decided to enter the modding world but I knew it would bring a lot of troubles...
I did a nandroid backup of 4.1.2 stock FW just before the flashing, but no way it restores, after an hour of processing it shows - Error restoring data! - it boots but it's a total mess. I even restored the original stock FW with triangle away, wipe all and double ODIN flash and then reflashing the clockworkmod recovery to restore the backup again but nope, won't work.
Luckily I did a full backup with Titanium backup prior, the real trouble is with ES file explorer: I did copy/paste of the entire internal storage to the external microsd but for some reasons it stopped at "D", "Downloads" folder... I lost everything else and I realized this only AFTER wiping and flashing, of course...
I'm trying to recover the files with Hexamob, hope this will work....
I have this two questions:
Does Nandroid work only with backup < 2.5 Gb? Mine is 4.5 Gb...
Does Nandroid backup the internal storage, too??
Thank you all guys

If I am not wrong, Nandroid does a backup of your phone (system, data etc) so that when you restore it, you got anything like it was. It does not backup the SD card though. In addition backups of over 2.5gb should work.
/data is the internal memory? Or is it /sdcard?

its all the internal memory.
/system
/data
/cache
...are all on the emmc memory and are backed up in a nandroid backup.
/sdcard is actually a mount of /data/media, however this is ignored by nandroid backups for obvious reasons

So /sdcard is the external microsd? And /data is the internal memory (I mean what you see when connecting phone to PC, Internal memory and external sd)?
If nandroid backed up internal memory would be great, may be there's some way to recover datas from backup files (unyaffs won't work, Titanium Backup just shows apps and their datas).
I'll do some further research.
no. sdcard is the internal SD, which is just a link to /data/media. to backup it, use copy and paste. no, it's not possible to recover internal SD data from a nandroid backup
Be aware that Nandroid does not backup your EFS .
jje
it can. depends on the recovery
Yep i know problem is that some think any recovery backs up EFS .
Wrong recovery no EFS backup .
We desperately need some stickied faqs and guides on this forum .

/sdcard is the "internal sd"
/extSdCard is the "external sd"
/data is something different that just so happens to be the home of /sdcard
As I feared, no internal storage backup in Nandroid. But what makes me more angry is that s****y ES file explorer so crappy it can't even perform a simple task like copy-paste. If that worked I wouldn't have lost anything. :crying:
Not to mention the useless nandroid... doesn't work either.
However I did manually backed up the EFS folder, but I don't really think it matters in this case.
If your /sdcard was 90% full, where would the nandroid go? External obviously? But recovery devs cannot assume that everyone has an external sd card with enough free space to store a 15 GB backup.

Just clarifying
Hey guys, this is my first ever post on xda!
Just to clarify, a nandroid backup will only backup device root files, and not the (internal) sdcard, nor the extsdcard files, from my understanding of this thread. So to do a complete backup of ALL phone data, I should perform the nandroid backup to extsdcard, and then simply copy (internal)sdcard and extsdcard to my computer for safe keeping?
Thank you!
