I've made a backup using stock recovery. But I am unable to restore it due to checksum error. Now that I've installed CWM, it doesn't shows that backup file. Is there any way I can have a restore of the my original .backup file?
How do you do a restore of a TWRP Backup of a ROM or the original Asus JB OS? I tried to restore the backup I did before flashing the CROMi-X ROM. When I try to do a restore in TWRP and goto the Micro SD Memory card I have the backup on it does not show any files. Do you have to use the same version of TWRP that you backed up in order to restore or can you use the same version or higher?
Thanks
TWRP can only read fat32. Are you sure your microSD is formatted correctly?
Unless the TWRP version you used to make the nandroid and your current one are miles apart, it should work. Hard to tell since you didn't post any versions.
I have TWRP 2.6.3 and it is able to read the memory card and see the Flash ZIP file. I used TWRP 2.6.1 to back up The Asus Stock ROM before flashing the custom ROM. When TWRP does a backup does it backup the Data and how my screens are set up or only the operating system?

It depends what options you checked when you made the nandroid. If you left the default selection, TWRP backed up both system and data.
If TWRP can read your microSD, what's your problem? I don't understand - since you wrote earlier that TWRP doesn't see any files??
2.6.3 and 2.6.1 are compatible. You shouldn't have a problem restoring the nandroid.

Let me Rephrase that I meant when I do a restore funtion it does not see any files but if I do a Flah funtion or use the file manager it does see files.

Did you manually copy the nandroid to the card?
It has to be nested exactly like TWRP created the folder or TWRP will not recognize it.
Something like TWRP/Backups/your-serial-number/date of backup/

I can't see my serial number because I'm in a bootloop, how can I see it inside twrp?
While in recovery run this command frog your PC:
Code:
adb get-serialno
There's also a Terminal cmd that you could run in TWRP's terminal. Not certain but I think it's just
Code:
id
Hey guys.. I have nandroid backup of my rom. And its ext4 format. I want to convert it to flashable zip. I have attached a screenshot of the folder that have my rom's backup. My phone is hard bricked. I really want to restore my phone. HELP!
since i rooted my and installed cwm for custom rom, i cant restore my first backup file i made througyh android system recovery 3e.
so anyway to reinstall it, so that i can restore my original backup file. once i have i will reinstall cwm and make backup in that format.
this is the file name with 768mb file size.
userdata_20131227_090252.backup
i want to recover i have tried it with twrp and cwm. it dont recognize it.
i am using uncle mobile tools.
I am a newbie!
So I wanted to start flashing custom ROMS on my device...
So I flashed the Custom Recovery(TWRP) and downloaded compatible Custom ROM...
Ok so by following some blogs and videos I took the system backup of boot, system.
And yes I am able to restore it...
I also read about Android Partitions(https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/android-partitions-explained-t3657183)
But when taking the Backup I saw a System Image partition there.
So I am wondering what is its use and should I backup that for pure Stock ROM Backup?
And also does it include the boot partition files or I also need to backup the boot partition with it?
And if I create this file using which option can I install this type of Backup?
Thanks in Advance

It isnt complicated, just boot into TWRP, then choose the "Backup" option, the default partitions that TWRP automatically selects to backup are all you "need" to backup. TWRP backs up the boot partition, recovery partition and system partition by default, that is all you need.
To restore the backup, just boot into TWRP then select the "Restore" option, then restore the backup file.
The "system.img" backup creates a backup of the complete system.img, it is effectively the same thing as using adb shell to dump the system.img to obtain a copy, it contains everything involved with the system partition, including boot.img and kernel(zimage). This system.img backup can restored by using fastboot flash system command, adb shell with dd command, terminal emulator with dd command or by using the option in TWRP that allows flashing .img files.
Another option for devices that are rooted is to use apps like Flashify to flash the system.img, but these apps are risky and don't always flash correctly.

Thank You Bro So Much for explaining this:laugh:
Ok So I can keep the backup of the system image if I want a complete stock rom backup, right?
But what about the other partitions like Recovery, IMEI, FRP, Pinfo, Logo?
I mean to say if I clear all these partitions for eg IMEI, will my device's IMEI number be deleted?
Or after flashing the system img these partitons will be regenerated?
And yes I am using the default TWRP backup and I am able to restore my android backup...

The default TWRP backup is all you really need. It will completely backup everything you need to backup/restore your ROM, the system.img backup isn't necessary. It is no different than the system.img that can be extracted from your stock firmware file.
As for IMEI, the method of backing up and restoring IMEI doesn't involve TWRP, there are other tools for that. Do a Google search for:
"How to backup and restore IMEI"
I suggest that you don't mess with any of the other partitions
