So I've made a user backup from the stock recovery mode on Android, everytime I restore the backup my phone starts to main screen and then reboots thus creating a bootloop. So, I guess there are some files that corrupts the boot process in a way but I had a lot of information that I won't like to have lost. It is possible to extract information from this file just to get the important bits?
P.S.: the backup file extension is .backup. So far I've seen some tools who are able to open just .img backups and at this point I just got confused on this backup thing. My phone is a Motorola XT914 on stock Android 4.1.2
shameless bump

Ok so I decided that I wanted to see what all the Froyo fuss was about, so I started getting my phone ready following instructions on the site. I own a Samsung i-9000m (in canada from bell - actually sasktel but we get phones from bell). anyways, I figured i'd do a rom manager backup. I did one, had some trouble with my phone and now I need to do a restore. Reading on the web they all point to an update.zip file. All I have is the following on my internal SD
ClockworkMod\2010-11-24-14.32.54\ and the following files in that folder:
cache.img
datadata.img
system.img
data.img
nandroid.md5
I tried restoring from rom manager but it doesn't find any files, I've booted into recovery but doesn't recognize the img files......any help would be amazing. Am I missing a step, google is no help
loooks like i needed the recovery update.zip file i'm assuming.....for some reason I didn't have it in the clockworkmod folder....
So, is there's a software which could do a recovery backup without booting into recovery?
(This is technically possible and YaffsExpert can already backup the images separately, am just wondering if there's an app to make a CWM compatible backup.)
I'm sure it is technically possible, as we don't have such a tool. Manipulating .img files is not the same thing than creating them. Probably unmounting some part of the file system is a part of the explanation...
YaffsExpert already does the .img part.
so far, no tools for that..
I have softbricked my phone and can only enter fastboot bootloader and recovery mode (htc) I have found the stock rom that I wan't to back up to and have downloaded it, but since I fastboot flashed my twrp recovery onto the phone,
I can't find any twrp root folder to put my downloaded backup into, therefore I am trying to make the folders for TWRP to recognise,
SO if anyone could spare a second to show me their twrp recovery starting from sd card location down to the numbers (apparently their are numbers in the back up folder or something) all the way down till you get to the actuall zip file. It will be greatly appreciated, please take CAPS into consideration.
i.e: TWRP>BACKUPS>90182312932>HTDF>the file goes here
Also, if I am being a huge noob and there is a straightforward way to put a backup file into TWRP on my phone, please tell me.
HI,
I'm having trouble with my update.zip file, created with Titanium Backup. I created it on my old Oneplus One thinking this would help me send all my data to my new Oneplus One. However, the file is 2.4GB, so too large to flash it with TWRP. This is the only backup I made before losing my old Oneplus, so I'd really like to get my data back.
Does anyone know if there's a way to use this update.zip file and maybe modify it to make it smaller and flashable with TWRP ? Or maybe use another recovery that doesn't have the 2GB limit ?
Thanks a lot.
Hi
I made a back up using TWRP and noticed it created a load of files in a backup folder.
I tried to restore on a different box but it will not find the backup files, which I think has something to do with the serial number created with the first box, is there a way to convert these files to an img file so I could use USB burning tool.
Thanks
