So it seems that my HTC ONE has no OS installed, I am able to get to the HTC logo and thats it. I reboot into bootloader and are able to install CWM and TWRP but no luck installing ARHD rom via adb sideload method, it just fails. Any hints on how to install a rom either stock or otherwise? i have a cwm backup of my stock rom rooted odex on my computer but it is not a flashable zip. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
(i have a mac if that matters)
if you aren't back on cwm flash that recovery.
boot to it
push your backup to the phone with ./adb push /foldername/* /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup might be backups, I can't remember, but you can check with adb shell
./adb shell
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod
ls (that is a lowercase L)
that should give you a directory listing.
after you've successfully pushed the backup reboot to recovery again and restore it.
This should do the trick

I am in the same situation. Can not get my phone to roboot. I have a rom to push but I dont know how to use ADB commands. I can get to command prompt but them I am totally lost. Can you give me a quick step by step?
adb push filename /sdcard

Hy gunnyman, when I push the folder to the sd card it always decompresses and send the individual files to the system not the full backup folder so i can select it from the backups menu. this is the command I used ./adb push may6.zip /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
I also pushed the decompressed files to the sd card since it looks like it instals all files needed for os to work with the following command ./adb push may6.zip /sdcard
I reboot system but still stuck on HTC logo.
May6 is the name of my backup and when i use the ls command it has a .zip to the end.
So can you let me know how to sent the complete folder to the phone to be placed on the backup folder and thus be able to be selected under the cwm menu? Thank you so much
Unzip it. Send entire folder uncompressed
You don't restore a backup the same way you flash a rom. It's a separate menu option in recovery

yes its unzipped. took off the .zip name and sent it to the backup folder and it still sends the uncompressed files. Once I go to restore from backup folder I get a -System/ and -Meta-INF/ files and no file with -May6/ or something like that. So i try to restore from -system/ but it says md5 sum dont match.
Any ideas?
No, I don't sorry
I've been using Android and CWM for years with no problems till now that I'm using a rooted KitKat ROM (SlimKat). By default root is not enabled in SlimKat, but I did enable it along with USB debugging. I have CWM installed and it made a nandroid backup on my Moto G (1st Gen. which doesn't have an SD card). I want to make a copy of this backup and found it in /data/media/clockworkmod. However, to see this I had to use Root File Manager as a non-root user cannot see this directory.
So how do I copy this?
My thought was adb. However, even adb won't let me copy this to my Ubuntu Linux pc.

EDIT:
I thought running adb as sudo would work. It does on some directories, but not this one where the CWM backups are. Here's what I did in Ubuntu:
sudo adb devices
sudo adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/
remote object '/data/media/clockworkmod/' does not exist
got it! I had to use another app and OTG to a USB flash drive. For some reason Root File Manager kept shutting down whenever I tried to write these backup files to my USB flash. SlimKat was installed with an app called Simple Explorer. It saw the same directory once I gave it root permission and then was able to copy my 2 nandroid backup folders to my USB flash drive.
Marty
it didn't work. Appeared to, but the file size isn't even the same Maybe if I write it to an ext4 partitioned USB flash it would get it right?
Marty
I think all that did work, but I found an official play store app for CWM called CWM Backup Manager that pulled the CWM backups to a place where they can be copied.

Hi
i made a backup of my mobile using adb
I tried like 5 times to use "adb backup filename" to restore my apps but i think the restore process get stuck cause i dont have all my apps back after a "sucessfull restore" (according to my pc)
Is there a way to restore the ab file using a recovery metod?? o restoring the ab file from my SD card instead of my pc ??? or to convert the ab file to an img file??
thnx.
Hi folks. I took an adb backup (adb -d backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\Tony\backup.ab) and now only want to restore data for a few apps.
I've used the Android Backup Toolkit to turn the .ab into an openable .tar file, so I tried copying a few com.appmaker.appname folders to the sdcard, then used Es File Explorer in root mode to copy the folders to /data/data, but the app doesn't seem to use the data (it looks like it did on first run).
Can anyone outline the steps required to restore data folders?
Thanks.
Tony.
Hi.
tl;dr
How can I extract from a backup made with "adb pull" ? Thank you.

Any help would really be appreciated here...
I have a backup that was made by booting to Recovery, then running:
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 my_phone_mmcblk0_$(date +%Y%m%d).adbimg
How can I recover the contents, please?
According to fdisk, the backup archive (i.e. the .adbimg file) contains a GPT partition table, and 12 partitions (of varying sizes) of type "Microsoft Basic Data". The largest of them is 11.5G; I'm guessing that's where the data I'm looking for are.
TIA
EDIT: If it's relevant, I use Linux and macOS, and I'm comfortable with the command line.

I read that, thank you. But it's not the same, is it(?)
adb backup != adb pull
(...Or am I wrong?)
