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 guys!
Recently I decided to flash a new ROM, and before that i made a nandroid backup with CWM. Backup was saved in /storage/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup. After a new rom flashing, i didn't like it, so i decided to restore from my nandroid backup. When I open Rom manager app, and select to restore backup, my backup shows up, however, when I click restore, after booting to recovery menu, it says "can't mount backup path". I have rom manager CWM recovery v5.5.3.7.
What should I do? Is it possible to restore from PC?
Delete (please ignore)
have you tried to move your nandroid backup to the internal storage and restore from there?

One day i decided i had enough of cyanogenmod and decided stock samsung was the way to go. I did a full backup with the latest version of clockworkmod, the full backup weights 2.99gb. When i try to restore it using any version of clockwork it gets up to restoring data then says Error while restoring /data!
i can boot back to cyanogenmod however apps are "installed" but they all say that they are not
Please help because i really need this phone
Either the file is corrupt or your sd card card could be damaged. It would be easier to flash stock with Odin and start again.
and if you have to /will go further without old backups, switch to TWRP after having rooted
Strange because i copied it without any errors... oh well. :crying:
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
HI all,
I've recently wiped my Redmi 7 to upgrade it to LineageOS 18. I took a backup with TWRP before doing that.
I'm ok with LineageOS18 but I did not realise that my Whatsapp backup was not up to date.
So, I thought I could just reinstall my backup, complete the Whatsapp backup and then go back to LineageOS 18 - via a backup or from scratch.
I took the LineageOS 17 backup using ADB as my SD card was formatted as "internal" - another reason for wiping the phone was that I wanted that formatted as portable. Maybe that is now the issue as the mobile does not have the same storage available?
I reinstalled TWRP on the recovery partition and ran the restore from my PC. It runs but it throws out an error at the end which I can't read as it immediately dumps me on the TWRP home page.
If I reboot, it starts an endless booting cycle.
To restore, I used the TWRP backup tool 1.1 from a command line.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Would there be a way to extract the Whatsapp stuff from the backup so I can run it on a working system maybe?
Thank you!
