Hello,
does any of you know how to access "storage/emulated/TWRP/backups/" path via TWRP recovery file manager? I made backup with nandroid and now i want to delete it, but I can't find this path. Nandroid file manager does nothing when I press 'trash icon'
I'm able to see this backup via fx file root manager, but when I wan't to delete it returns error 'this operation could not be completed'
Hi,
I stuck with this problem too.
Can't find the way to delete the backup yet. It eats up my storage for 16gb.
Hope anyone can help.
Thank you in advance,
Ed

I have the Omega 6 ROM installed, now i wantet to make a backup of the efs partion but it always tells me that it has no root, i also have busy box installed but it doesent work. USB debugg modus is also on.
does any one has a clue ?
thanks a lot
Do u have superuser app installed and are u using a file manager that have root.
Otherwise try "ES file manager" from market.remember to grant root permission
Copy the efs folder to your SD ,then zip the folder and upload to dropbox.if u don't have a cloud then send to your mail account.rename folder from zip to apk to save from your mail account to the pc
yes i have the superuser app, i use root explorer but how does this helps me with the efs app on my pc? the programm did't make a backup yet so there is nothing to copy to my pc yet. Or can i copy the efs partion myself without the need of efs_pro?
thanks,
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?

So I'm used to doing backup of devices in TWRP but it seems that nandroid is the way you do it with these. I downloaded and ran a backup to SD Card. I chose the option for TWRP backup, will that allow me to do a restore of the image I created here from recovery or would i need to install TWRP recovery to recover? If I chose the backup type Clockworkmod would that be restoreable from stock recovery? The directory it created is only 1.6GB w/o compression which doesn't seem right to me.
I did read the idiots guide to root first BTW.
Thanks guys.
Tried to do a recovery restore using optin recover system from backup but I have no idea the path it is looking for, it doesn't say just says no system.img so ignore. So it appears nandroid creates a system.ext4.tar so I suppose I could decompress this and see if there is a system.img file that the recovery is looking for and put it in the root of the sdcard if recovery is actually looking /external_sd.
Anyone have any input?

Hi,
I'm new with this, and tried to update my Lenovo Vibe X2 to the most recent rom that I found... it is a custom rom, basicly the latest version without the chinese applications.
I read a little and saw some videos, to update it using the sp flash tool. And I made it... using the option Format+download :cyclops:
Now I have it updated, but my phone has invalid IMEI , MAC, etc... Reading a little more, I found some indications to restore the IMEI, but I would like some help to avoid be worst that it is.
I have an online Nandroid backup, that I make before the flash, I can see the files in Nandroid Manager...
boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, recovery.log, system.ext4.tar
So, is it possible restore the original NVRAM from my backup and apply it using the sp flash tool?
Thank's in advance for any kind of help.
Regards,
Cristiano.

Hi!
Let me try explain...
First of all, I install the FX explorer and the ROOT add on for it. I used it to explore my backups and copy the files to the root directories.
- Copy your backup to your phone (if you don't have yet)
- Enter in the FX explorer and navigate in the MAIN STORAGE and go to your backup directory (in my case the clockworkmod)
- In this directory, enter in the data.ext4.tar file
- And after that, go to DATA
- And access NVRAM directory
- MD directory
- NVRAM directory
- NVD_IMEI directory
- hold at MP0B_001 file, and select COPY option
- back into the first menu and select the option SYSTEM (ROOT)
- Go to /data/NVRAM/MD/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI directory and paste the file...
Now the IMEI was restored.
After that, you can do the same, going to /DATA/NVRAM/APCFG/APRDEB directory of you backup and copy all files
Go to the SYSTEM ROOT enter in the same directory /DATA/NVRAM/APCFG/APRDEB and paste all files.
Now you can reboot you phone and the magic comes true... The IMEI, MAC_Address was restored and NVRAM Wifi removed.
Good luck.
Let me know if you have any question.

Hope this is in the right place ..
I have a couple of Tanix TX3 mini TV boxes that I would like be able to backup and recover across devices.
I have put S905-TWRP3-VIT.zip onto a micro SD card and can load TWRP from the boot recovery menu.
I can then backup ROM, system and data partitions to a USB flash drive.
if I now go into the restore menu I can see the backup file.
My problem is that if I now start TWRP from a different device I can no longer see the backup file.
If I create a very small backup, I can see the new backup but not the old one.
If I reboot normally, I can see both backup files within the same directory via any file explorer app.
Obviously, this stops me from being able to restore the system to the target device.
I can't see anything obviously wrong, can someone tell me where I am going wrong please?
Many thanks
