Question about Nandroid Backup - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I did a nandroid backup on my Eris with Amon recovery. It made a folder on the SD card called Nandroid.
It had two more folders within it, and the innermost folder had 4 files - boot.img, system.img, data.img and nandroid.md5.
Is this supposed to happen ?
If I were to flash this back, how do I do so ?

Boot into recovery and look for "restore nandroid backup".

Why does this happen ... thanks

sorry translation
did you unrar the file and then place it in sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery or just place the rar. you must first unrar khals rom down to just the folder with boot.img boot.md5 system.img and system.md5 in it then place the folder with those in the sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery folder
the procedure that you're saying I have performed and the result is that in post....
so inside the Xtmiuioptimized folder there is 4 items? boot.img boot.md5 system.img and system.md5? and in open recovery when you select xtmiuioptimized in the restore menu it should say only boot and system in the restore options.
yes..the files are 4
restore option for xtmiuioptimized
go back
restore all
restore selected
The directory structure on the sdcard should be...
Code:
/sdcard
/nandroid
/openrecovery
/xtmiuioptimized
boot.img
boot.md5
system.img
system.md5
if your folders match these I would try coping them from your pc again.
Çheck restore all and if that doesn't work your file might be corrupt so try tranfering the folder again.
is the path and just... 3rdstring...Thank you
easye420.. I had already tried I'll try again tomorrow...Thank you
did you try checking the boxs next to system and boot in the partitions sections of the restore menu in open recovery. try that and if that doesnt work and you say you already tried replacing the folder and that didnt work id say your download must have been corrupt id try to redownload it and try again. this happened to me before and if that doesnt work try try making a back up of your current phone and restoring that back up and see if that works. and if that doesnt work try reistalling Open recovery thru the system recovery app and try again. lot of trial and error unless anyone else has better ideas
The ROMs we're flashing only update boot and system. When nandroid restore says "not backed up" it just means it's skipping restore of a partition because there isn't a backup to restore. It's harmless.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you reed his first post its says all partitions are not back up boot and system included. so its like theres nothing in the folder to restore like restoring a empty folder.
exact is just so happens to me
solved
extract rar folder then take the (sub xtmiuioptimized folder) and put the SD card installed .... ok .......sorry

Restoring Nandroid: Files not found

I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup from my external SD card and have run into some problems. I'm using Philz Touch recovery; went to restore my backup and it said "No files found"" when I tapped it. So I created a new nandroid backup to see where the files might be located, and the new nandroid backup is located in the exact same place that the old one was (on the External SD card under ClockworkRecovery/backup). There's a Clockwork backup directory on my Galaxy s4's internal storage, but there are no backup files there.
Any ideas on how to restore?

[Completed] Backed up with CWM navigating to the folder in restore says "no files"

Hi i need help ASAP,
I backed up my phone with CWM it made a folder as a backup.
When I tried to restore the backup I navigated to the folder and it showed me inside that folder (like there are no files) instaed of starting the backup procces.
one more problem is that now i flashed another ROM with TWR and I didn't know it will be with TWR so I am not sure I can backup CWM with it.
please refer to my 2 questions as it combined.
Can you clarify if CWM is able to restore the Backup ? If its not, then the backup was not made successfully.
To your Question, are you saying you flashed TWRP Recovery and then flashed the new Rom ? If that's the case then the CWM backup can't be restored by TWRP.
EDIT - I should caution you that it is not a good idea to restore the backup made by one Recovery with another.

[Q] Titanium Back

So after using Titanium Backup for years, I just now realized (HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS) that it has a feature to backup your apps and data into a flashable zip. So here I am about to flash a new ROM.
I go into TB make a fresh backup of all my apps, then I go into the batch options again and choose "create "update.zip" from app+data backups". It finishes, I locate the zip in root of my SD card. It's larger than 2 GB, all seems well. I boot into recover, make a TWRP backup, wipe the device, flash the new rom + GAPPS + update.zip (my TB backup). The ROM and GAPPS flash no problem. But an error occurs when trying to flash the TB apps+data backup. I cant figure it out. Am i doing something wrong?
Its probably the updater-script or are you trying to flash it on a Lollipop rom.

Where is mmssms.db located in a TWRP backup of Nougat>

I am trying to extract the file mmssms.db from several nandroid (TWRP) backups of Nougat. I know that in Nougat this file was moved to "/data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases". I can browse to this file on my phone but if I browse through the contents of the data partition backup from the nandroid backup files (data.ext4.win00X) the path "/data/user_de/" does not exist. Can anyone tell me where this file can be found in a TWRP backup archive? Otherwise I will have to completely restore these backups one by one to pull each iteration of the file off the phone.
I think that TWRP doesn't backup this folder for the simple raison that Nougat is quite new.
Maybe it backups only a list of folders in /data (but I can't confirm it)
I got just ****ed right now, me too.
