Use an older version of clockwork recovery (5.5.x or touch 6.1) and they create a single zip, latest clockwork did offer an option to change the way it backups last time I checked also.

I tried to use zip from CWM but it doesn't seem to do the full nandroid backup. Any ideas?

It created the zip file and some other files in the folder, however the size is too small to be the recovery image. I doesn't create the full image. Still doesnt work. Is there a way to create a full nandroid backup into a single file with all the settings as it is done in normal cwr backup? Any help appreciated.

Just change default backup to tar then backup as normal that should work.

Creating tar recovery results in multiple files in recovery folder not a single zip file. My question was is there a way to create a single zip file that can be flashed in recovery as a custom rom.
I use the older version of cwm which creates full nandroid into 5 or so files. I then zip it into one but you have to unzip it to restore it. I don't think there is a clean way to create one full flashable nandroid with all your data and settings etc... I would also like to know if there is a way.

The same thing for me, searched for forums and no success. Thank you for your answer. Perhaps you could also know if there is any possible way to install stock samsung bootanimation on CM10 rom?

Not on CM10 they might have different locations for there boot image not sure.
In regards to the Nandroid I was just thinking about it actually and I find it quite strange as to why after ALL this time there isnt a way to create a FULL nandroid with apps,settings,themes,data.contacts, EVERYTHING all in the one file so its flashable. I mean it wouldnt be that hrd for the dev to do it as there is an option for the update zip. I really dont get it. Wouldnt everyone prefer it that way?

I fully agree, it would have been much easier for testers to get back to the rom they tuned and customized. Any ideas are always welcome.
Yes. It will be very easy to keep the backups if we could make a signal zip file. so we can name it with date and keep.
I have a mj7 build and i am running the Echoe international rom. It is a great rom other than it is full of bloatware. I don't have room for my apps.
Anyone know how these could be deleted? Since this is based on another device other than the mj7, normal mj7 flashable zips do not work.

Try using Titanium Backup to remove things.. That way you can also back them up to your external SD card first in case you accidentally delete something you needed. Backup....uninstall.. do a couple reboots and see how your phone is then running... then you can get rid of the backups if u wanted to save space. Just an idea.

If you have a non-working android/recovery/bootloop, here is a way to restore FULL STOCK with a PC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-verizon-lg-g-pad-8-3-to-stock-t2800857
NOTE:
This is only for the vk810 Verizon LTE model (product name altev)
/system and boot.img (kernel) is backed up. stock recovery IS NOT included (scroll to bottom of post)
Download: (neither has recovery.img)
A) (JB4.2) Fully stock 4.2.2 system&boot.img, prerooted
B) (JB4.2) Stock 4.2.2 system&boot.img with a lot of crapware removed, prerooted
C) (KK4.4)Fully stock 4.4.2 system&boot.img, prerooted (you'll need to install SuperSU apk manually though) mirror
You need TWRP installed
Untar and copy the folder somewhere on the device (Windows: use p7zip)
Boot to TWRP
Backup your current ROM.
Yes, remember to backup your current ROM
Wipe cache/dalvik/data
Restore this backup within TWRP
Reboot to ROM
Once ROM boots, it'll say "Preparing your tablet" and get stuck there for some time (probably copying files from the /system to the empty /data partition
If you want to restore stock recovery, you'll need to do it manually via dd

Drgravy said:
sure get it here: http://goo.gl/cmrBwV
shouldn't need to loki patch it
just copy it to your internal storage and flash with dd
open your terminal on your pc enter the following commands
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
exit
just make sure the commands are exactly right

You probably don't have it in the right folder. Do a backup of your rom and then place this in the same folder as that one is in.

i do make sure its in internal. when i click restore it shows no folders just a blank page and i pulled my external sd to simplify things that and i think its going bad. but thats another story haha
I am S-OFF and unlocked. I have access to recovery. I can communicate just fine with ADB. I have tried flashing new firmware through RUUs, Sideloading and from the external sdcard. It fails every time. I believe that there is something wrong with the data partition and I need to recreate it. If there is a way to recreate all of the partitions that would be awesome too. Let me know if this is feasible. Thanks.

Did you run the GPE RUU conversion? If so, then you need to look here.

You need to restore a stock backup. I found the easiest thing was to send it to the backup folder using adb push Rom.zip /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HTCXXXXXXXXX/

Hello,
After much time and effort I was able to restore my watch to stock to get the newest OTA. Here is everything for those of you who have TWRP and are rooted, so you don't have to bother restoring to stock just to re-root and replace the recovery!

Thanks to other users and posts who helped point me in the right direction to get this. Pulling the stock recovery was the hardest part for a n00b like me!!

I also don't know how to update the system using your images. I know how to sideload and I also have twrp working. Never flashed an img to a wearable so if you don't mind explain how to would be great.

You flash the stock recovery using fastboot.
Fastboot flash recovery /location/of/stock_recovery.img
This isn't necessary unless you want stock recovery flashed or to be able to take future official OTAs directly from Google/asus
The system and boot are in twrpon backup format. Make a small backup on your watch of the cache partition, just so the twrp backuo folder gets created (which is unique to your device). Then adb push the folder you downloaded from this thread (with the build number and date I backed it up, not the parent folder that contains the stock recovery) to /sdcard/TWRP/<your_serial_number>/
Then, on your watch, use to to restore the system and boot. Wipe the cache on your watch and restart. You will not be updated without have to factory reset/wiping data partition.
If you try to flash stock recovery and get error BC your bootloader is locked. You will have to wipe data partition when you unlock bootloader by issuing command
fastboot oem unlock
Please let me know if you have any other questions

Download the files, place them in the TWRP/Backups/(RandomHASH) directory using the directory name he has in his Drive folder, remount System RW (that one threw me off for a few), then run a TWRP restore. You don't have to sideload anything, since TWRP will let you see the watch as a drive (at least under WIN7, haven't tried anything else).

I'm glad you were able to pull this.
I woke up this morning to find my watch sitting in TWRP because it had tried to update. I just flashed this, and so far, so good.
Fair warning to everyone: TWRP will restore the boot in the recovery, even if you tell it not to(TWRP bug?)! If you use a different kernel just reflash it after you restore this backup.
do i just put everything on a folder named 2016-06-22--20-06-49_mwd59 and then just flash via twrp?

You have to make a twrp backup just so a backup folder with your unique hash has been created (just backup cache partition to do this). Then push the 2016-06-22--20-06-49_mwd59 folder into /sdcard/TWRP//
(You'll see a similarly named folder in that directory from the backup you did yourself)
Then use the restore function of twrp to restore the system and boot from the backup folder you got from this thread.
Then wipe your cache partition and you should be good to go!

I can confirm that this steps are working:
Backup anything from TWRP (just to create the folder).
Inside the newly created folder (sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/XXXXXXXXXXXXX --> XXXXXXX folder is one created by TWRP ) place the folder from Drive (the folder itself, no need to change the name).
Then from TWRP perform a Restore and select the one with the name from Drive.
Also note that I lose root, and dunno how to recover it. With this update UI is way faster and connects to BT and WIFI better too.

You'll have to reflash SuperSU wear BC its overwritten when your restore the boot partition. Busybox will also have to be reinstalled if you need it BC that is overwritten when you restore the system partition

I forgot to restore boot, now my battery life is being sucked dry! I'm guessing it's stock recovery, though, even though I unticked that option. Someone in here said it was a bug in TWRP. So I guess I could just fastboot flash twrp, then push the zip and flash it?
