have the same problem with you..
ppl here suggest use root explorer, go tos system/data/app/ and search for a file with titanium backup odex extension and delete it.,
me myself, try to do those thing above but find no titanium backup extension..

Next time use titanium backup to create an "update.zip" to flash right after you flash whatever rom you want. The update.zip is just the program to install onto your device so you don't have to hunt for the apk in the market.
I'll attach mine to see if it'll help.

Or simply copy the efs folder (the backup) onto / overwriting any exisiting files.
You can use root explorer or any other file manager that has root access (even a shell)

As mentioned in another thread, have you tried EFSpro?
It might help you out with restoring EFS folder! Take a look!

If you use the EFS Tool, within the zip file, there is a run efs_restore.bat (Windows) /efs_restore.sh (MAC-Linux) file. Just run the file with the phone connected via USB.
Here's the EFS Tool:

Dude my bad i did not search!! Thanks so much...
So here's what i understood-
The blob file makes a common back up file for all backups n only the difference in diff backups are stored in the folder' backup' right?
In other words when we make a backup
Only the files that are different are backed up.the rest are restored from blob
So both backup n restore well be faster

I think so, but many don't really like the idea.

So let's hope we can flash cwm 5.x??

Re loneagl, do you need to to backup for a very long time？It took me at least 7 mins.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app

Yep..it stays at 'freeing up space' for long time.(i actually rebooted once thinking it had hung up)..the actual backup is only about 20 mb..the blob file about 800mb

clockworkmod recovery help

in clockworkmod recovery if i make a back up of a rom and than i restore to that rom. do i still have that same back up or will have to make another backup thank you

Whatever you backed up you will have an exact image of that one when you restore. It's like creating a restore point on a pc you can roll back to

You've still got it once you restore it. If you look at the path sdcard/clockworkmod/backup there will be a folder and part of the name of the folder will be the date you made the backup. Don't change anything inside that folder, but you can change the name of the folder to remind you exactly which backup it is. As long as you don't delete that folder, you've got that backup.

[Q] CWM Nandroid Question

I just installed CWM (6.0.1.2) and made my 1st Nandroid on this phone. I wanted to store it on my PC so I navigated to the backup folder and there were 4 Nandroids, all with 1970 dates. I'm unsure which one is the one I just created, can I delete all 4 Folders and then make another Nandroid and have it be the only folder in backups?
Lastly, It's my understanding that I can rename the nandroid (folder?) as long as I use no spaces or special characters?
Thanks, I did a pretty extensive search without finding an answer.

I dont think u can change the names with cwm.. only twrp and to find the last one u did it will be at the bottom of the list u can write the numbers down on paper with a name if u want the 1970 is normal i dont think they fixed it yet.. it should say 1970-01 then ramdom numbers id use twrp

You can change the names in cwm through their rom manager app, I do it for all my backups. And by default for some unknown reason, cwm dates with a 1970 date. Still have yet to find out why.
