I am rooted and have the latest twrp recovery, think it is 2.8.2. On this version, I am able to save my backup directly to ext sd. I have noticed however that when I do a backup, it takes between 30 to 40 minutes to do one. However, I just did a restore last night and it took over a hour and a half. I have only had the phone about 2 weeks. When I had my S3, doing backup would takes kess than 10 minutes, same with restores. Is this normal or is something amiss?? Thanks for the feedback.

i dont know if its just me, but everytime i restore a nandroid backup + ext, it never works the way it did before. Like it often freezes up and then goes into a bootloop when i turn it back on. It doesnt always go into a bootloop tho. I usually have to take out the battery and then restart a couple times for it to boot normally again. Im using the latest version of recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1-update.zip file after having v1.6.2 before.
I have never had the problem you are facing, though I also am still running 1.6.2. Sorry. Could it be that 1.7.0.1 backups are different and you are restoring ROMs that were backed up with 1.6.2?
So today I was trying out a Sense version of froyo on my hero, didn't like it as im way too used to launcherPro now anyway I made a Nandroid backup yesterday, did a restore using amonRa recovery, it said the restore was successful... but
At first it didn't want to boot, just completely froze on bootscreen, then after a batt pull i loaded up recov again, wipes everything and then restored...
This time I actually fell asleep while waiting for the phone to boot, in the middle of the day actually , after I woke up the phone looked like the one i used to have but, nothing worked none of the apps that i had worked, half of them were actually completely gone, keyboard didn't work (scandinavian), only the stock ADW launcher worked...
Also when the phone booted it ran the setup wizard, just as if I would have done a fresh ROM install??? I had no contacts, no SMS, no pics, nothing
ISN'T NANDROID SUPPOSED TO BACKUP EVERYTHING and not just the core ROM files?
also if I remove my SD card I find my phone rebooting in matter of seconds :S
I really need help with this, I absolutely dont want to download all my ~100 Apps from the market, setup all of my 5 homescreen and ask all of my friends for their number again that would take weeks!
Try a full wipe, then restore the previous Rom
but that means that i'll have to install all my apps again, reset all my setting, everything... Its my last resort but I'd like to atleast know why this got so ****ed up? isn't nandroid supposed to create an exact image of the phone, and even be transferable to other phones of the same model ?
I'm really pissed of atm, I have put so much into personalizing my phone and now I have to go trough this all again maybe just wait for another ROM I'd like to use and just start over
If you did a nandroid your apps should be restored too : )
A full wipe doesn't touch SD, the SD contains the nandroid so it all should be there. The nandroid you restored sounds like it corrupted the Rom on the phone you didn't wipe. Always wipe before : )
I did a complete wipe and after that a nandroid restore, still nothing
Ok, so my phone is stuck trying to install the damn OTA update even though I rejected it. It apparently self downloaded a few days later. I'm running an XDABolt ROM, can't remember which, but it's basically stock Sense just debloated. When I power the phone on, it boots up, but then power cycles a few seconds later and tries to install the update. It freezes a few seconds into the cycle. Is there anything I can do besides wiping the phone? And will wiping it even work? I neglected to do a backup in the last few weeks, and I'd rather not lose any of my changes since my last backup.
Thanks for any help.
Nevermind, I bit the bullet and just factory reset, seems to be OK now.
Thanks anyways.
Hi!
For some reason, my TWRP took me 758 seconds to back up my phone. I don't think it should take 12 minutes for it to back up esp for a quad core phone. IS this weird? I back up the system, data and (somethign else) and it turns out to be roughly 3 gigs. Is this normal?
Thank you
For the s4 yes it is normal. Several threads that discuss this.
BEAST......... that is all

Make sure you are on twrp 2.5.0.2, as there was a faulty update to 2.5.0.3 that was a problem for many people. But yes, those touchwiz ROM backups are HUGE and so take a while to compress properly, though 12+ minutes seems excessive to me too.
If you are on the failed version, then either use GooManger to install the older version or I placed a flash able in the twrp thread. In fact you can simply use this

Welcome to 2gb backups. Twrp is slow on this phone as far as separating partitions as well
Sent from my rooted S4 blessed with whatever the latest CleanRom version may be....
From what I've noticed, TouchWiz stock/roms take a VERY long time to back up. AOSP roms (like CyanogenMod) have backed up as fast as 144 seconds for me on the GS4. So, yes, your backup time is normal. You can expect an equally long restore time.
Everyone abolve me is correct, but another thing you can do is get a higher quality microSD card, that will speed it up somewhat.

Thank you guys for replying!
However; I am on 2.5.0.2 which makes this much more confusing... Is there anything I could have done wrong?
Not long ago I started a thread about how good this phone was and how I have never had a problem...….ironically....I just broke it
I hadn't installed a new rom in over a year, so I updated TWRP to the latest, took a full backup, and installed the firehound rom, after the install the phone booted to a pure black screen, like screen off black, so went back to recovery, wiped it and restored my backup, only now when it starts I get a screen of text in another language have no idea, but there is a button I have no choice but to press, when I do, it reboots to recovery and does something and I noticed it wiped data, then booted again back to the same screen of foreign writing....the first line says encriptacao sem exito.
in recovery it says something about krypt keeper I think it was
anyone have any ideas?
What version of twrp ?? Maybe your backup has become corrupted and you will have to do a clean installation, even having to format the internal memory. Once I backed up a rom along with the pin code and after installing a rom and did not like it, to return the backup my device simply did not unlock even though entering the password correctly.
Thanks for the reply, I fixed it this morning. I know about not making backups with passwords and stuff set so always take them off before a backup, not sure what TWRP version but it is the latest as of yesterday. and the backup was taken with and restored in the same version right before flashing. I think somehow my internal storage had been encrypted, as you said, I had to wipe everything internal and formatted data, then installed new rom and all is good now, luckily thanks to the google overlords, nothing of any importance was lost as it is all backed up to them, only thing is it takes a little longer to get all my apps back after losing my titanium backup flashable user apps zip. but oh well haha.
