I made a nandroid back up which is around 15GB . However, when I tried to restore , all /data can not be restored even though MD5 check is good and it shows successful restore in TWRP . Any idea ? TIA

I used the EFS Backup tool to create a backup. Now I need it, but can't restore.
It won't find the backup. Anyone have any suggestions?
Resolved. Not sure how, but back to normal.
All I was doing was making a nandroid backup via CWM and when I rebooted my IMEI was unkown and I had no radio function.
Reboot. Shut down. Start. Nothing.
Tried to restore, but the EFS Backup Pro tool could not see my backup (not sure why).
Saw no progress in the restore other than the notice that the restore wasn't found.
Rebooted, radio working. IMEI restored.
Made a new backup, just in case.
Okay, so I've had it happen again.
Should I use EFS Backup Pro to reformat and restore my EFS?
Sorry, I don't have your solution.
I just want to say: Hope you can solve it fast and definity!
Seems to only happen when the device is rebooted while connected to the charger.
If you can get your phone back up and running again like before then Id go to the link below and backup your EFS folder.Do both types of backup,save to SD and PC and then might be a good idea to follow the instructions as to doing a wipe and then restore.But do both types of backup incase one of them gives you problems when you try to restore.better safe than sorry.

I made both backups after I was able to get it running with my IMEI and modem functioning.
Cleared cache and Dalvik and reflashed the kernel also.
If I have the problem again, I'll do a wipe and manually restore everything.
I'll keep the thread update, just in case this happens to anyone else.
Are you using a Custom ROM?
No. Stock KK5. Have not had the problem since.
Mate thats not good from a stock firmware.maybe you it would be a good idea to flash back to a previous one to see if it still happens if this has happened since you changed to KK5.Possible bug,and a big one too.Id flash back to your previous FW then root and do a full system/cache /data format to clean up the device just in case and see is it still happens.
When you get it working again try Hellcta's kTool.
Among other things, it can backup and restore EFS folder.
2 backups .tar.gz & .img saved directly to sdcard & can verify the backups too.
hello
how can I clean my SGSII ,phone SD, and external SD card from old installation files, folders,. Bla bla bla
now I have my ideal settings , ROM , everything ,
is there any way to format everything then restore CWM backup ?
thx
Backup everything (Ti, Nandroid, calls, sms, etc). Format cache, data, system & internal sd card in CWM. Flash stock rom in Odin, CFRoot to get CWM, flash rom/kernel of your choice. Then clean install your apps from Google Play/wherever you got them from (preferable) & restore calendar/contacts from Google, & restore call/sms log with whatever app you used to back them up (provided this app only backs up/restores the logs/sms themselves & not the apk like some of these apps do). You could also restore your apps with Ti (not system apps) but if you do, don't restore data.
That will give you a clean start.

can I transfer the CWM backup to PC , then transfer it again to SD card after installing ROM, and restore the CWM backup ?
btw I have two CWM backups and I'm unable to restore one of them ,.it stock on " checking MD5 sums" for a while then phone boots without restoring anything
Of course you can. But what's the point of doing a clean install if you're going to restore a Nandroid which is a copy of your setup at the time you took the backup ? Kinda defeats the purpose. If you're having problems which you think are as a result of having a lot of crap on your phone; easy to happen if you haven't done a wipe for a while/have flashed a lot, if you restore a Nandroid you're going to have the same problems.
Personally, I do the steps I suggested every 4-6 weeks (instead of flashing stock after I wipe everything I normally flash CM9 Resurrection via Odin & go from there). I find it's an hour or two well spent. Phone runs much better after.
Up to you which way you want to go tho.

Hi, i'm a noob. I have a nexus 5, I was on 4.4.2 and had the camera-demon problem, I wanted to update the phone to 4.4.3, I was rooted, I made a android backup and unrooted and updated, I then found out that this would take me back to 4.4.2 through the internet, I thought oh this is no big deal, i can just restore it and make the proper type of backup to restore later. But now I cant even restore it. Looking at the actual backup (should have done this earlier) I noticed that there were no .img files like there should be for the restore, so I'm wandering is there anything i can do with this file to get my data back? Because it wont restore in twrp it just says "E: no partitions selected for restore"
Today I decided to upgrade the cyanogenmod software of my girlfriend's phone. I did a android backup before doing it and I have it both on my SD card and on the phone. The upgrade went wrong (dont'know why i was having many crashes of some apps) so i decided to restore the android backup. I have tarp recovery and i'm having two problems. The first one is when I select MD5 check: it's written MD5 failed to match on... maybe because I followed the guide about creating an MD5 blank file ( I was having problems in matching MD5). When I uncheck the MD5 check box, the backup starts and it seems it works, but when I press reboot the system it says NO OS INSTALLED. I need some help please I've tried for two hours fixing it.
What partitions did you backup and try to restore? Sounds like /system or /boot didn't backup or restore properly. You could try to reinstall the original rom she was on and then do just a /data restore and see if that works. Other than that, either another rom or back to stock are the main options. What was going wrong on the new rom? Did you try to upgrade by dirty flashing - as in not wiping /data? Sometimes it also helps to format /system too when upgrading the rom to make sure there's nothing leftover. Also, getting the correct Gapps are important for everything to run correctly.
PS: I've been having some issues with backups in TWRP on my phone as well and wasn't able to restore /data and if I just choose to restore just boot and /system then it would at least boot backup and be usable. I'm not sure if this is a similar issue to yours or just phone specific.

Most of the times, Backup made from unofficial recovery isnt compatible with other recoveries. so u have to restore it using same recovery.
i personally dont like zcx as it has given me several times encryption decryption data corruption. might be it was my mistake but on the run i use alka recovery. its good its just u have to enter name of backup manually as it doesnt show correct time.
