I am using TWRP Recovery which I found on Xiaomi.eu's Android File Host page at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=50678 with Xiaomi.eu ROM 7.2.9
I Took backup from TWRP Recovery, of all essential partitions. Now the issue I'm facing is that, when I copy the backup folder to Laptop in MTP mode, I only get empty folders copied in Laptop (I'm able to copy everything else in phone to Laptop easily, issue is only with TWRP Backup folder)
I have tried copying the same in phone to some other location but same issue, few files weren't copied. To know the specific files, I copied all files one by one and noticed that these 4 files are having issues and not letting me copy the backup folder.
efs2.emmc.win
efs1.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win
recovery.emmc.win

I want to downgrade from CMW 6.x (that comes with KernelPanic) to CWM 5.x, because with CWM 6 you cannot restore a backup. Using CWM 6 the android.secure-backup part is corrupted and therefore all applications on SD are gone.
I tried various methods like x-part, copying files to /system/bin and /system/xbin and one-click-installs using adb, but it will not replace the CWM 6.x. Is that because it's somehow build in with the kernel (in KernelPanic)? Or am I missing something?
Yes, exactly. Because it's built in kernel. In ramdisk to be precise.
u have to flash a kernel that have cwm 5.
this is the only solution
copy the android_secure.vfat.tar part of the backup to your computer .
Use 7z or WinRar to extract the file
You will find a bunch of files with extension .asec
Attach your phone to computer ...
Navigate to .android_secure
copy the asec files to android_secure
Profit !!

yes, this is the way of restoring that data manually to sd card.
Thanks for all the answers. I will install the Radeon Kernel, which is quite fast also and has CWM 5 in it.
Okay This Is My First Post Please Dont Flame
This Is For Every One Who Messed Around With Their deice and now cant log in and you have important data in the emulated internal storage which you need. If Yes the follow this simple tut
THIS METHOD IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A NANDROID BACKUP OR CAN MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP USING RECOVERY (i used cwm) IT CANT BE USED TO RESTORE ROM IN PREVIOUS WORKING STATE !! JUST DATA BACKUP
Lets Start..
1). Make A Nandroid Backup (usually created in the external sd) and copy it on the desktop of your computer
2). Download 7-Zip
3). Install
4). now open your backup folder there will be files with different file extensions (named like system data)
5). there will be many files we are only interested in files with extension .tar.ext4.a usually the biggest files
6). now those files are the image files of your internal sd and system
7). open 7-zip and navigate to your file (data.tar.ext4.a) and open it.
8). the fun part now.. now thats your root folder so navigate to /mnt/sdcard/
9). Viola! Its Your Internal SD now just select the file/folder you want
10). Select extract and extract to your required location.
11) And Its Done
This method is usually useful if you use audio manager and you havent changed the default data location from /sdcard0/Program Data/Languages/.fr
Enjoyy
I am using Android SDK Manager Revision 22.2.1 with my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 International which is running a leaked copy of the Official Samsung 4.2.2 Stock Jellybean ROM dated 24th June 2013. It is rooted.
I wish to copy my entire TWRP backup folder to my PC and in preparation I read several threads which purport to explain how to do it but I only succeed in copying 16Mb worth of .md5 and .win files out of a backup folder which is 2.56Gb in size.
All folders in the TWRP folder are readable, writable and not hidden.
I have used the commands adb pull/sdcard/TWRP/ D:\111. I also tried adb pull/sdcard/TWRP D:\111.
The best I have got so far is to copy BACKUPS/4df1bd936aae7f4b/Leaked_Samsung_4.2.2_stock-15.10.13 which contains the following files:
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
cache.ext4.win.md5
data.ext4.win000.md5
data.ext4.win001.md5
recovery.log
recovery.emmc.win
recovery.emmc.win.md5
system.ext4.win.md5
There are four missing files including the following large files.
data.ext4.win000
data.ext4.win001
system.ext4.win
Admittedly I am not a developer and am new to ADB so I am presumably doing something wrong.
Can anyone assist please.
If you are wondering why I wish to do this I have twice tried to flash Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 Stable version to my phone but get errors both times. I thought it may help to format my phone but before doing that I want to copy the backup of my ROM so that I can recver back to stock if CM still causes problems.
Simple method would be to make backup to ext sd card or even int sd card .
Then via USB windows explorer copy and paste .
Although I have selected the "Use External Storage" option in ROM manager, it still does not allow me to choose the backup location and gives only the option to save the backup to the sdcard.
I also have TWRP recovery so I will boot into Recovery and see if that gives me the option to backup to my external sdcard which is my preferred option anyway.

Thank you JJEgan! I have found an option in TWRP Recovery to save my ROM backup to my external MicroSDCard which is what I needed.
thanks again.
I made TWRP to make a nandroid backup. In past I copied files to pc, but when I tried to restore it failed. I red that it's not as simple, as permissions etc need to be copied, and you need to use adb. I couldn't get it to work. I rebooted to twrp, connected usb cable and in elevated command prompt
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/TWRP TWRP
but it only copied a .twrps file that's 1kb. How to do this?
you do do not need adb bro.
Just plug in your phone when running android (normat MTP or MSC) and browse SDcard/TWRP then copy. if the backup is on internal memory otherwise if it is on the External SDcard broswse The external SD card directory and you will find the folder TWRP.
you have to copy the TWRP Folder.
Hello,
when i do a nandroid backup, before i backup anything in twrp i copy the entire internal storage folder to my pc (since twrp doesnt backup that).
I noticed a huge amount of data inside the TWRP folder called Backups (about 9gb) and in there are tons files (.win and so) with some classic /boot /data /system ones.
Now i wonder why is there such a folder and why is it so huge? i never backup to sdcard or internal storage only OTG flash drive.
Is this folder neccesary or can i savely delete it? will it be autogenerated?

If you backup to otg using twrp, you simply can delete that folder inside twrp folder of your internal storage.
But files ending with .win are part of the twrp backup you've made, so be sure you did it to the correct path.
