thank you
if you back it up by update.zip you have to flash it via recovery.
I usually just back up and restore using the batch method.
Not working. It doesnt even detect the file. Oh well i downloaded everything again

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.
I shattered my screen and have a replacement phone on the way. Can I do a nandroid backup on my current device and restore it on my new one?

Provided they are the exact same model phone, yes you can just transfer the nandroid backup file from your old phone to your new phone once you get it. For the time being you can just transfer the nandroid backup to your computer and store it there until your new phone comes then just transfer it to your new phone, boot into CWM restore the backup and you should be all set .
If it's a previous ROM you backed up on your gs3, then yes you can. Make sure you root, unlock bootloader, flash recovery once replacement comes of course

I just did this over the weekend. I was able to restore a nandroid to my warranty replacement with no problem at all. I expected there to be some issues with some apps giving me a hard time, but everything worked great. The only things I lost were on the internal sdcard (my phone was hard bricked, so I couldn't back that up).
Like was already said, I had to root the new phone, unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery before I could restore the nandroid.
If using TWRP after root make a backup to establish a new backup folder with corresponding serial number to match new phone. Open old backup folder and serial # folder to get to actual backup files. Transfer these files to to new serial# folder.

This worked great, here's what I did.
1. Made a quick backup to generate the proper folder structure and the correct directory name needed for my new phone.
2. Copied the folder that contained the backup I intended to use from my old Hercules S2 to my replacement Hercules S2's TWRP backup directory.
3.Copied the name of the folder of the backup I made in step 1 to the clipboard.
4. deleted the folder I created in step 1.
5. renamed the folder I imported by pasting the name from the clipboard.
6. restored the backup.
Done.
Sweet.
Thanks.
nandroid backups are awesome
Hello,
Can you please help me here. i have a system which got screwed while playing and I am on a screen with no os installed. I just got a nandroid backp file from one of the friendly users on the forums. However on going into TWRP recovery, it does not recognize the backup. it is the same model and service provider as mine.

Because the folder containing the backup is named with the serial number of the old phone. The fasters way to set things up is to make a nandroid backup of the new phone, then move the old backup to the new folder and it will be recognized. Just as a user said previously in this thread.
P.S. Sorry for being so late.

Hey guys,
Here are silly but important questions:
1. Can I use the nandroid backup from PhilZ touch recovery and restore it with TWRP?
2. To which folder do I have to put the nandroid backup file?

I doubt that it will work. I have seen several reports that restoring a CWM recovery using TWRP doesn't work, and since Philz is based on CWM I am making the presumption that it will likewise fail. ( I seem to recall that nandroids from older TWRP versions won't reload from newer versions; along the lines of a 2.4.x.x TWRP nandroid using 2.8.x.x TWRP. )

It's clear now. You cannot recover a PhilZ touch recovery from TWRP. :/

I have made an nandroid backup from LG G4 H815 with Android 5.1
Now i've got a new LG G4 H815 with Android 20g
Questions:
1. If i restore backup with Lollipop, to phone with Marshmallow - will 20G be overwritten and i will end with Lollipop on new G4?
2. what will happen with IMEI; will it be changed?
Or should i use only some of partions from the old G4?
Should the TWRP installed on new G4 be the same version as on old G4 (2.8.07)? Or i can install the latest 3.02 on the new one
I have following partitions:
boot, system, system image, Data, Cache, Recovery, EFS

You're in the wrong forum, post your question in the G4 forum, this is Verizon S3.

This is great news!!!
I've been having constant issues with my SIM card connection lately, even though I've replaced the tray. So it must be a MotherBoard issue.
Already got my Nandroid backup sorted which I update every now and again, so now I just have to search for how to root it again, since it was years ago when I last did.

I didn't have much luck in Windows but Nandroid Manager (sorry I can't post Playstore links I'm a noob) allows you to look inside Nandroid backups (including TWRP 2.5 backups which don't work with Titanium Backup, so far at least). I was able to look inside the compressed data.ext4 and extract individual files. If your backup is compressed it will take a little bit of time, so keep that in mind.
Actually, I'm not trying to look inside Nandroid backups but rather the system.img from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307439
As for the OTA update, it will fail unless the stock apk's are what came with the ROM instead of the most current version from Google Play Store.

Gotcha, sorry I misunderstood. Why don't you create a backup and then just restore your system to complete using the Droid Razr HD Utility so you can get the new radio drivers, etc. and then just restore your backup?
That's a good idea but wouldn't restoring Droid RAZR HD Utility and then restoring the nandroid backup just overwrite all the apk's with the ones from my backup again?
Actually the last time before I ran Droid RAZR HD, I did create a nandroidbackup using CWM but I remember while I did it in May, it had a date/timestamp for April so I'm worried if I did a nandroidbackup, it will just overwrite that one as it's not using the current date/time for some reason. Does nandroidbackup backup the radio as well because I did modify that to work with AT&T/T-Mobile even though I use Verizon Wireless.
Currently running Dirty Unicorns 5.0.2 on my Nexus 7 Flo
I've just run a nandroid backup in TWRP 2.8.5.0, and after trying to use "Extract from Nandroid backup" in Titanium Backup, all my app backups show only having data for the apps and not the apps themselves. Trying to restore the nandroid in recovery causes my tablet to boot to a black screen.
After looking in the /data/app/ folder using a file explorer, i noticed that each app is sorted into individual folders as shown in the attached screenshot (as opposed to on KK, where this folder used to be full of just the .apk's) so i'm assuming this must be a change in the way Lollipop manages installed apps?
I have used the flashable zip found here on XDA for the modded Playstation Remote Play app, and this is the only app in the /data/app folder not in a specific folder like everything else, so in Titanium Backup it shows up as a smiley face (meaning the backup contains the app+data).
Has this happened to anyone else? because of this i can't restore nandroid /data partition backups through recovery or with Titanium Backup which is beyond frustrating
Ideas?

App folders changed in Lollipop just as you supposed. Easy way to fix it: Install all the apps you need and then restore the "data" by extracting from nandroid backup using Titanium Backup. Its a little annoying but it works
