Hi:
Have successfully re-rooted my NT, and am now trying to block OTA using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405418
But cannot get files to move to Titanium Backup Folder. No matter what I do, I get the below error message. I have tried moving files via USB, rebooting and trying to move via USB, and shutting down Nook and removing MicroSD card and attaching directly to my computer.
What gives? Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!

thats weird... hve you tried with drop box or es eplorer?
I just installed it.
I moved zip file to folder on SDCard then extracted using ES - that worked.
However, when I restored backup, I still have 1.4.0 .
What did I do wrong?
I tried redownloading the unzipme file but when I try to extract the contents, it tells me it is a null file.
That must be a hint of some sort!
I had the same problem. The root cause was that I couldn't copy directly from within the windows "virtual zip folder" to the sdcard. I had to first extract the files to another directory on the computer and then copy from there to the sdcard.

I tried that, but it didn't work. I was able to shift the files into the folder using ES (as noted above), but the version didn't change.
Just looked in my Titanium folder and there are 5 files, btw.

Are you sure you restored the right one? Perhaps you should move them all out of the TB folder and try again.

It's a good question-- I did indeed restore the wrong one! Went back and restored the 12/22 version rather than the 12/26 (today's) and voila! I have version 9.9.9.
thank you SO much! So obvious, but....
Love you people!

You bet, glad it worked. You can also use the "Thanks" button to indicate a helpful post.
done! Much appreciated.
Today I wanted to see what the JellyBean for SGS III is like so I made a nandroid backup of my current setup. After playing with JB for a while, I wanted to restore the backup, but I was greeted with an error message.
I've been messing with this the entire F****** day and so far I've isolated the file that is corrupted (it's /system/app/Keystring_factory.apk).
So I need to delete that file from within the archive. The problem is how do I do that? When I try to copy the file to my computer, it hangs on it and says "corrupted file" (tried windows explorer but also total commander). I am able to open the archive on my SGS III using something like ZArchiver, but it doesn't have the option to delete the file from within the archive.
Help?

U can extract cwm with titanium backup or use a file explorer to extract the backup and delete the file then zip it.
But I would flash a new Rom and extract cwm with TB and restore the parts u need with TB.then when all is good make a new backup.
I don't think it's a good idea to restore a corrupted file even if u find the errors
Btw. Fayaab has tweeted that he is going to release a JB for gs3 tomorrow and this should be working
Tried that too, Titanium got stuck at the file. 7-Zip got stuck even when "Testing Archive". I'll write the file off as corrupt. Interestingly enough, the data.ext4.tar is also corrupt. Does this mean it's a time for a new microSD card? Or is it CWM that's writing corrupt files somehow?
Access system files from recovery any use .

If I connect my phone to the laptop and look at a specific 'backup date' that's saved, on my phone, there is 6 or 7 files within the folder.
If I then copy the backup to the HDD on my laptop and open it there's only 2 files in the folder.
Why ?
Does that mean that if, for whatever reason, I lost my backups on the phone and then copied them from my laptop to my phone, they wouldn't work as a 'restore' because there's 'files missing' ?
Thanks

I am not really aware of thud issue, first off please post the name of the recovery you are using, since nandroid backups differ.
It might be probable that there is an issue while using the usb.
I would suggest following this step.
Download Airdroid (its a way that you can copy files or download files from your phone to your computer and vice versa over the WiFi )
Go to your backup folder , write click on your backup folder and select "download as zip" . Once downloaded try to open the zip file and count the number of files.
Good luck

Concerning the number of files in the TWRP nandroid backups, it differs from one ROM to the other. For me I have about 7 in stock, 8 in CM and 9 with android hd revolution.
If you want to know whether your copying is a success, compare the folder size. Use ES file explorer or any other to total size, then on your computer do the same and compare. But I think its an issue with your USB hubs or the phone itself . Airdroid fixed it to me as I am having laggy usb hubs and so forth and so on, so it saves time.

It's stock 4.2.2, sense 5 that I backed up.
Just tried Airdroid like you suggested, will take a bit of getting used to, and still 2 files missing.
Files on phone in backup folder :- boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
data.ext3.win
data.ext3.win.md5
recovery.log
system.ext4.win
system.ext4.win.md5
Files on laptop after transfer :- boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
data.ext3.win.md5
recovery
system.ext4.win.md5
For whatever reason, 'data.ext3.win' and 'system.ext4.win' are missing ???

Updated TWRP last night and copied backups to laptop this morning using USB cable AND Airdroid.
Same results, files missing. They're on my phone, in case of restore, but can't get them ALL onto laptop.
Tried to copy them onto Ubuntu, it's a dual boot laptop, but that only copies an empty folder ?
Also tried copying from phone direct to USB stick, no joy.
CONFUSED.

Still trying.....
Been trying through, various, wifi transfer apps. Nada !
Also tried copying the files one at a time through USB, the ones that will not copy are 'data.ext3.win' and 'system.ext4.win'.
Even when 'right clicking, to copy, I've tried copying to folders and straight to desktop, they just will not copy. I DON'T get any message re. unable to copy, absolutely nothing happens.
Any suggestions ?

also, after upgrading TWRP, did you try to copy your old backups or did you created new one?
This is my first time trying to root my Micromax Canvas HD.
I am trying to install CWM recovery using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167621
However I am stuck in the second step itself. I have extracted the "Kernel Source" SouceCode(IQ451_4.1).zip file. But I am not able to find any recovery.img file to replace. What is the problem here? Have I downloaded the wrong file? Should I download something else?
While trying to extract the zip file, Winrar asked me if I want to rename the duplicate files, because there were a few files with the same name but different size. I asked Winrar to rename the files. Is this a problem?
I am completely new to this field, so I am not exactly sure what I am doing wrong.
Any help regarding this problem would be of great help to me. Please tell me of the things that need to be taken care of before rooting my phone.
Thanks a lot.

Use mobile uncle tools instead of the above method.. Download recovery... Rename it to recovery.img... Place it in sd card... Not in any folder.. Just inside sd card.. Open mobile uncle tools... Update recovery.. It automatically detects the file in sd card... Select... Flash...reboot.. Done...
Hit thanks if this helped..

Is there no other solution? Will I be able to use the files that I have already downloaded?
I have tried loading the recovery.img file through the Flash tool, but it asks me to select the path for the PRELOADER..

You can use the downloaded file... Why do you want to use the flash tools method when the thing can be done in 2 clicks..

just use Framaroot app and then Rashr app

Very simply, how do I browse and extract the contents of a TWRP Nandroid backup on my Windows PC?
I am trying to browse a TWRP backup but I have a feeling I need to do a bit more fussing around. The backup is split into data.ext4.win000 through data.ext4.win007 and each of the parts has an accompanying .md5 with the same naming structure (ie. data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win000.md5.) There's also a data.info file as well.
The system backup is the exact same as described above for the data, except it's only 2 parts (system.ext4.win000 and system.ext4.win001, with the accompanying md5 files and the info file.)
Can someone provide a bit of guidance? I'm using a Windows 7 Home Premium machine.

Simply rename the file to data.ext4.tar and use winrar to extract it.
I'm revamping this thread because I'm...desperate!
I have a nandroid backup (TWRP 2.8.7.0) and I would like to browse it on my PC. I'm focusing on files with structure data.ext4.win000x (where x goes from 0 to 2).
I'm able to open with 7-zip (should be equivalent to winrar) every individual file but size is faulty: every file is nearly 1.5 Gb while the content of the zipped file that I see it's around 50 kb. If I concatenate the files with the command copy /b data.ext4.win000? outputfile regardless the extension I give to "outputfile" I'm no longer able to open it with 7-zip.
Any suggestion/hint please ????
Not finding entire folders/files while browsing backup
I find the same thing regardless of the mechanism I am using to browse the backup. I am looking in /data/data for my own apps' data. Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Nandroid Manager app
2. TWRP Explorer app
3. ZArchive app
4. In a terminal, cat data.ext4.win??? | tar -tv > less (and then searching for my apps' package names
I was looking inside my nightly full backup to extract and recover some files I accidentally deleted. Cannot even find folders for the package names (except for 1 app). However, when I do a full restore from the same backup inside of TWRP Recovery, the missing files are indeed restored. So I know they are in the backup.
Why can I not find them and get at them any way else? I must be missing something simple.
Thanks
BTW - in the recovery.log file in the backup folder, I see the folders/files in question being "added". Very odd.
BTW2 - at least with regards Nandroid Manager app, I noticed that I was seeing some files I know I had removed from my apps some time ago. How could that be? I decided to clear data/cache for Nandroid manager and try again. It took much longer to process the backup for exploring. But now at least that app seems to be doing the right thing and I can see all folders/files.
