I have 6.0.1.2 and am trying to make nandroids but the output folder size is only about 23 mb and it is saving as 1970. Anyone know what's going on here?

I'm pretty sure this is the wrong section to post in.
But to (maybe) answer your question, I think there's a new blobs folder which contains a lot of the backup. So you still will be able to restore in CWM, I think. And if that doesn't work, switch to TWRP, your device supports it, and it seems like you haven't made any backups anyway.

When you go into recovery in backup and restore there is an option to change default backup type. Change your default backup to tar file and you will be all set.

Which recovery are you using? What options did you check before backup?
I was never prompted to create an account when I downloaded titanium backup. How does it work when I wipe and flash a new a rom? Or get a new device?

It saves the apk & data on a file on your sd. Just put the backup in your new phone sd and tb will recognize it.
Cool thanks for the reply.

Just restore that app in your new Rom or phone
In it there's an option for restore, etc etc likewise many other options

I just flashed a rom today. Went to the store downloaded titanium backup and it instantly started loading and restoring my apps. As long as you have titanium backup restored of course

Although for some reason it didn't restore my gta3 data which I was a little pissed... but ohwell. Everything else went smooth as butter once I remembered to flash gapps with the rom I flashed lol

It probably restored the data on the SD. Use a file explorer and try to paste and replace it in root.
You would have to find the file in the phone data I think. Can't rmb.

Well I did move it to SD card. Then I got a new SD card. Tried to see the files from my old card on my computer and was going to transfer them but there didn't seem to be anything on it important?? If that makes sense. And in titanium backup I had all my user apps on SD card buut nothing showed on my computer.

Hi.
Can I make a backup of WiFi settings - passwords from one Rom and restore them to another?
I used to have problems backing system data up from different ROMs. But you can try it, should be under backup system data in TiBu. WiFi settings maybe?

Where are they stored? Does it make new file every time I do it or does it overwrite the last one?
I'm asking because my SD card is constantly full now. It's an 8Gb card. I do a Nandroid Backup once a week.
Any help/feedback is appreciated.
Edit: I found them. Is there anyway I can make it so it just gets overwritten?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
If you're using twrp you can just delete them from there. Can't remember if cwm has that option.

Nope. Just delete the old one with a root explorer.

How would we do that? How would we get the old data and permissions?
We can't take any files right?

What did your friend do to delete their EFS folder? And what's happening to the phone since it's been deleted?

I don't see how that would happen unless he flashed a CM rom meant for a different phone on his VZW GSIII. So your friend no longer has the /EFS folder correct? What is his phone doing now or rather what is he unable to do presently? Does it boot? Able to get into download mode or recovery? Not making calls/texts/data?
I'm a little surprised by this, I'm not too sure how to fix an entire missing EFS folder.

Here's the story:
He said he flashed a CM nightly and now his EFS folder is gone.
He is thinking of reseting then download counter and sending it back to Samsung because it still is under warranty

But he doesn't have a previous EFS backup to begin with. How does he make a new one?
I keep a EFS backup in my internal sdcard with a list of the various permissions, so I have one just in case something terrible happens

Same way he made the first one. There's a whole thread on it. Did you even look at the sticky roll up thread?

I created a update.zip using TB. I transferred the zip to my pc and was trying to figure out where my backed up sms would be. Just trying to learn, thanks.

Depends what ROM your running, if its touchwiz, it'll be under system/app and its named- Sec.MMS.apk, asop will be MMS.apk, unless your talking about the actual messages, if so, TB doesn't always save the data so u may not be able to gt the back up messages,
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I am running TW, I made sure to save save app and user data. So if I replaced the mms apk I possibly could recover the messages? Worst case I get a FC and put original back?
