Hi (sorry for my bad english),
I've make a backup with CWM Recovery but this backup was copied to internal memory (default).
In middle of backup, a message say : not enoug memory !
Now, when I started smartphone, the internal memory is full and I don't find where is the bad backup.
The phone is rooted and I search with a root file manager but I don't find file or repertory with there keywords : "backup" or "recovery" or "clockworkmod"
Please help me to find the wrong backup for delete it !
Thank you :good:
It must be in "clockworkmod" directory in root of your internal memory.
Anyway, maybe you should switch to TWRP it has better options like selecting storage.
Thank you -z3r0- but as I said, I don't find it in the root.
I think it's because the backup was incomplete... but where are the bad files ?
I must know the name of this files for erase it.
Resolved after factory reset...

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.
Hello experts, I am a completely newbie. I just bought the HTC One m8, and I managed to install twrp, I then watched a video from youtube which showed me how to back up my stock ROM into the *internal* unit using twrp. The video did not mentioned I have to copy the file to the micro SD card first. The video continues to wipe the internal drive, and then do a restore (from the sd card). Unfortunately, when I do the same, wipe the internal drive, and then try to do a restore, only to find that the image is no where to be found in the internal drive. I didnot have a backup in the sd card. I try to look for the image file in the internal drive and I couldn't find the backup file. I came to this site and from the "collection of stock backups" thread and downloaded the nandroid backup for my HTC One m8 which is the "CID BS_US001". I then use my PC to copy this 2.22.1540.4.zip file into my sd card, put the sd card into the HTC unit and go into recovery mode in the twrp (down volume and power), and try to do a restore via the restore button, but it does not work. I don't know exactly the procedures I need to take to restore this stock ROM back to my phone. I want to thank you for providing this file, and I hope the experts here will not find my question a nuisance. I really needed help, I try to take the unit to a shop and they couldn't help. I now have the backup image file downloaded from collection of stock backups. I know the answer is pretty easy, please help. Thanks.

What part of it doesn't work? Can you not find the file? Does it give an error message? Info like that will be very helpful for us to help you.
Thank you es0tericcha0s, I put the 2.22.1540.4.zip file in the sd card. This is the nandroid zip file I downloaded in COLLECTION of Stock backup's for my HTC One m8 model. I did not use the linux adb command to push the file into the sd card, I just just Windows 7's file copy method to copy the zip file to the card. I supposed this means the same thing. I use twrp recovery method, and have already installed the twrp tool into my HTC, the HTC is *unlocked* but I am not sure if it is rooted as well. I booted the HTC by pressing the down volume button and the power button, I went into recovery mode. When I clicked the restore icon in the twrp menu, the internal storage is empty, there is a message that saids internal storage (25404 mb) at the top, I supposed that can't be my original backup nandroid file (too small), the nandroid file downloaded in COLLECTION of Stock backup is located in my sd card (the zip file). I don't know how to find the zip file in the sd card (what button combinations to press etc). There are 3 buttons in the bottom of the restore screen, the middle button when pressed, bring me into the screen that saids in the bottom updating partition details .... Full SELinus support is present (without the usb cable hooking to the PC).
So to summarized, my questions are:
1). does the 2.22.1540.4.zip file in my sd card is all I need for the backup image, do I need to unzip the file first and then change a few things, renaming boot.emmc.win to boot.img, etc.
2). how to get to the sd card to select this file to do a full restore.
3). Does the file 2.22.1540.4.zip found in COLLECTION of Stock backup truly is a saved file to restore, i.e., the actual original backup file. It seems big, at 1.5 gb.
Thank you for any help.

Ok, now I see where you are at. This should be easier than you think. So here's what you'll want to do:
Reboot to TWRP
Go to Backup ( I know, counterintuitive, but stay with me...)
Backup just the boot.img (This is to create the correct backup folder name/layout)
Unzip the nandroid zip and move all the .img and other files into the TWRP backup folder that has the boot.img that you backed up in it - just overwrite the boot.img you have there
Now go to Restore and you should see your option there now.
Your version of TWRP most likely has a file manager (under Advanced) and you should be able to unzip and move the necessary files all within TWRP. Make sure to pay attention to which storage option you are in if you have internal and external storage options.
If the restore is successful and the phone still does not boot, then return to recovery and perform a reset. If it still does not boot after that, then you'll need to copy the boot.img to a PC and use fastboot to install that.
Thank you es0tericcha0s
Thank you es0tericcha0s,
Based on your response, I am now able to do a full restore of the HTC One m8 stock ROM. What I did was to unzip the Nandroid backup file first and then copied the whole unzip directory into the twrp/backup folder, I then just do a normal restore from the twrp recovery menu, and it worked beautifully. Thanks again.

Hi to y'all. I have a little big issue. When I do a nandroid backup with TWRP, (2.8.7.0 and r9 by eng) it does. All process go well. After that, when I try to do a restore immediately it show me the backup just done but if I reboot the phone and I search the backup file on extsd it is not present. So I reboot in recovery, tap on restore and magically the backup there isn't. Anyone has got this kind of issue before?
In the flash zip option on top is an option to change between internal and external storage, just make sure external is selected and do a backup again then check if you can see the backup,

Thanks for your answer mate but I'm not a noobie. I mod android since HTC touch with windows in 2008. I did the backup into external SD. Immediately without exit from recovery it shows me the backup made in bit when o reboot into recovery and on android booted it is not more present
Maybe you have one of those cheap no brand sd cards, get a better one and try again (check the one you have with H2testw first)

You probably have got the issue mate. I think like you. And......thanks for tip
Sorry but what about H2testw?
Hello
After flashing cm13 on my s3 my IMEI was lost. Now I can´t restore my efs folder with my TWRP backup.
I have the efs.ext4.win , efs.ext4.win.md5 and efs.info files but dont know how to restore them on my device.
Pleas help me !
Should be simple: tick restore, choose backup file, tick efs. Don't touch the single files.
I tried but twrp does not show the backup folder on the sd card.
Do i have to zip the backup folder ?
As I said: don't touch the backup-files. Did you store your backup on internal storage? You can change storage within backup /restore procedure.
No i stored them on the sd then ticked restore from sd.
Now i move it to the internal storage. Maybe tis works.
didn´t work ether
Means: TWRP doesn't find the backup?
create new backup using twrp (example boot partition) and copy to that folder yours efs files backup, its should work
or try restore using other recorvery arter97
My phone is GT-N7105 (Samsung Note 2)
I had a nandroid backup before, then I copied the backup to PC, still have it. Then I flashed lineage 13. I deleted the nandroid backup on the phone storage. Now I want to restore the backup so I copied the backup files from the PC.
Now when I go to TWRP Restore mode, no backups are found.
I already searched through the internet and found the renaming method but there's a problem:
this is my original backup:
TWRP/backups/42f7491d7b409fc7/2017-03-01--05-28-34_JZO54K.N7105XXDMB
I tried to make a new backup of my current lineage (just to see if the folder name changed based on the new folder the backup process will create), here is what the resulting folder was:
TWRP/backups/42f7491d7b409fc7/2017-07-05--09-27-29_lineage_tOlte-userdebug_6.0.1_MOB31K_ab972c
As you can see, only the innermost folder name changed. So from what I found through searching, it said to rename the old backup folder to the new backup folder's name, meaning :
I changed
2017-03-01--05-28-34_JZO54K.N7105XXDMB
to
2017-07-05--09-27-29_lineage_tOlte-userdebug_6.0.1_MOB31K_ab972c
TWRP still can't see the original backup.
So what should I rename the original backup folder for TWRP to recognize it and make it appear?
Not sure, but i know you must use internal storage, not external sdcard in order to restore . Does it help?

From the TWRP screen, there's a bar you can tap for 3 choices: internal, external or USB OTG, but I surely put the original backup in internal storage.
The experimental backup I made was in external storage. TWRP can recognize it.
Anyone can help me? I already tried renaming the 6 character code from the original backup folder's name to the 6 char code from new backup. still won't work.
Any helpful ideas please?
