I own the g2 vs980. I am running malladus. I had a nandroid backup of cleanrom. In an effort to free up space late last night I opened cwm app and deleted my backup if clean rom. I would like to recover it. I know of tools like diskdigger apk, but I don't know if it will recognize the format since (I believe) inside the backup file folder there are many files that comprise the nandroid backup. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. I did not do any factory resets since the delete. I know the files should still be there. I have done very little on the phone so the data should still be intact... for now. Thanks

I am looking for a way to recover the deleted nandroid backup. I know how to start from scratch. That was never the question. Don't waste people's time by replying to questions that were not asked.

Hello to all.
So here I am new to this forum and I am not speaking to the original, I ask you in advance to please forgive me for my bad english.
So here is my problem now time for 2 days.
This provides a backup made in CWM, I always used to make a backup from CWM Recovery, except that recently, I have a big problem to restore the last.
In fact, when I try to restore, everything goes well for restoring boot.img, system.img, ect. except that in the middle of restoring / data, the operation freezes and stops with the message in the last line: "Error while Restoring /data"
So I thought a corrupt backup, which is not the case, I had enough space on my SD card (8Gb around, the backup actually 3Gb and more).
After a wipe cache, wipe data then a factory reset, then flash to a newer firmware (XLFB), still the same problem.
After doing some research, I realized the problem: my data part is larger than 2GB, and that I understand, beyond, the restoration of data fails. ..
So I thought of you, and a way to cut or compress the /data, because I saw somewhere that someone could manage to compress the /data with the option of compression TWPR's Recovery.
Problem: TWPR is not available for the GT-I9300 International version. :crying:
A solution? I thank you in advance.

Why your backup is more than 2gb? Too many apps? Games?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes, a lot of games

Temporarily solution:
Backup with titanium. Uninstall them and then backup with cwm. Should get your nandroid backup below 2gb.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
But I can not access in my backup, how can I make a backup and then uninstall the applications they are already packed in the backup?!? One way to do your manipulation without to be in the backup? Because I'm on a new interface, so it's all gone (except for the multimedia data that are stored on the external SD card).

You can try use Titanium to restore apps from nandroid.

Ok, thanks ! But, how can I uninstall the applications which are in the nandroid backup after a backup with Titanium ?

Trying to modified your nandroid could brick your device during nandroid restoration.
Do this at your own risk:
Copy nandroid to PC, use 7-zip to open data.ext4.tar and looks for
Apps folder. Delete those games apk.
Clear all content in the dalviks folder.
In the data folder, delete those related to your games.
Save and exit
Copy back your nandroid file to your phone.
Your nandroid md5sum will not match. So open terminal emulator and type
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-06-29.18.20.43
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Now try to restore your nandroid again. Hope no more error.

my nandroid backup is 3.2GB in size. restores fine for me.
I made a nandroid backup and went flashing. Didn't like something decided to go back to mybakup which is actually stock rooted. But it says md5 missing so it won't flash. How do I get this done.....
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Did you move it or rename it?
You may have either renamed it and added a space, or made a backup without enough space which means it didn't back up all your data. If it'd the first one, remove the space. If its the second one, your boned.

One other option ...
If you made a backup using CWM, then changed to another recovery ....it won't restore.
Recovery files cannot be mixed between different types..
(Learned that from rangercaptain)
Thanks brother ....g
hey Devs
is there a way to only backup apps akp and install after flashing of new rom in single step?

Note
Data will be in Internal storage of xperia S so data no need
and i have too all single apk by file manager and install one by one after flashing..

You ask all the time it seems... And yes! There is the built in backup app and there is titanium backup.
And dont flash your phone to much... You will get bad sectors... Or brick it.
Read a little in the forum before asking about everything

Flashing a device never creates bad sectors nor bricks a phone mate.

Yes, but it's a good practice to keep a cwm backup always before flashing.
Cwm backup means..
What n all does it backups

sony back up - default restore and back up program of sony (included in the firmware)
titanium - back up system and data same like sony restore and back up apps, but with more options. (with free and paid app from google play), can be used to restore single file.
clockworkmod (cwm) backup - back up of system, boot and data ( these are done in recovery), can be used to restore system only or data only or boot only.
1. cwm (if you are flashing roms) - really need this back up in case of error or not booting
2. titanium if you are restoring single file or freezing apps or converting apps to system apps.

No question is Noob brother!
Cwm is short for ClockWorkMod Recovery by Koush.
After installing a custom kernel you get this recovery. When the phone boots (if you have ulbl) you get a vibe+blue led+white glowing illumination strip all at once... Hit volume up rocker once.
You'll enter cwm.
If you choose backup option from there... It backs up your system, boot, cache, data.
In case of any mistakes or something in future you can always enter cwm and choose restore to bring your phone back to the previous state.
You can go to advanced restore and choose either system/boot/cache/data or all.
Thank... if helpful...

Its a backup that will restore you phone to exactly the way it was when the backup was made. The ROM, apps, settings, everything.

A nandroid is kinda like making an image of a PC using Ghost (if that helps at all).
You should make a nandroid when:
- You love your build/configuration
- You getting ready to flash a new ROM
- You gonna do anything unfamiliar
It is your way back to a working and configured device.
Ex...
I want to flash romX. Boot into recovery, make a nandroid. Do my wipes. Flash romX. Reboot. Play with new from. Find out I hate romX or its missing a feature I love. Fine. Reboot into recovery restore my nandroid. I am now back where I started...with my phone as it was before I started.
Ti (titanium backup) is a great tool. Yes, it's confusing.
1) buy the pro version...it's worth it
2) don't restore system apps (someone else can perhaps correct me or explain this one)
3) if you move from one aosp rom to another you can restore your user apps and data...this can save you a lot of time.
Oh yeah....ALWAYS keep a good nandroid copy on your computer. If your really frell things up and wipe everything or if the files get corrupt...you will be happy you have it.
Don't feel bad, there has been some weird twist and turns on the dev of this device. It was much easier on my old EVO4G. THE LGOG has confused me several times as well.
Good luck.

Hi,
I am currently using TWRP. I have a clockworkmod folder on my device which is rather large. I want to delete this folder and am wondering if this is safe. I don't need the backup file as I have made a new nandroid with TWRP. Do I need to uninstall cmw? (If so, how) Can I safely delete this folder?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
You can only have one recovery at the same time so the fact you have twrp means that it replaced cwm. If you now have a backup of your ROM in twrp and have no interest in ever going back to cwm, then you are good to go. Delete the folder if you wish. Its perfectly safe to get rid of the folder at this point
