I have done 3 different backups and they come out bad...I compared one good backup with the bad ones using root explorer and what I see is that the cache.img,
android_secure.img and nandroid.md5 files are all 0kb...
Why is that happening? Thanks for the help!

I can think of a couple reasons. Have you flashed an EXT4 firmware but not the EXT4 compatible CWM? Or did you buy a 32gb microsd card for a ridiculously low price from Hong Kong on Ebay?
My guess is the first reason, you may have made your good backup before installing the EXT4 firmware, therefore CWM had no problem reading it. But after flashing an EXT4 firmware it lost the ability to read the boot partition or any other partitions that were converted to EXT4.
You are absolutely right! Thanks bro! Beers on me!

I need to retrieve the raw partitions off of my Nexus S (userdata and sdcard). fastboot seems to allow writing raw data to the NAND, but not reading. Are there any tools that allow saving the NAND over USB or WIFI?
adb pull path

That doesn't pull the raw sectors.

Hi guys,
My cm 10.2 26/10 version bootlooped just now and when it came back up the sdcard was not mounted.
On trying to mount,it is complaining about unusable filesystem/format now?
Now,i dont care about fixing my phone - but im seriously worried about recovering all my pics and everything.
Im very competent with adb and fastboot - can someone let me know how to recover my data?
Btw,im s-off and hboot 2.15
Twrp 2.6.0 also is unable to show the sdcard

If you mount sd in twrp does it do anything while plugged into a pc

Hi guyz,i have identified /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 as my sdcard partition. However im unable to mount it - keeps giving me an invalid argument error. Can I download this partition to my linux box and recover it there?

Give it a shot. Never hurts to copy and paste

Sounds like your sd card is corrupt. You can try using data recovery tools. There are a few online that may do the trick. You may have to format the sd card before it is detectable though. I would expect the worst and hope for the best.

Just wondering if there is a way to move files to my Nexus 5 while in TWRP recovery so I don't have to boot into the OS just to move files...thanks.:good:

I meant without using adb push, just drag and drop.
I'm not sure if you can mount storage

twrp has a built in file manager, i believe its in advanced settings. I always use that to move files
Hello, I have had experience with a Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, while skipping the Nexus 4 to try out the SG3, I have returned to the Google Experience.
I remember having partitioned the S and GS to have an Internal Memory, thus also allowing me to ADB push to its home, as well as being able to drag NDBackups to my computer.
With the Nexus 5, part one was unlock, recovery, and root. I have successfully done so, though having to mess with directories to grab SuperUser for some reason- this should not have affected /sd card.
I could not successfully adb push SU.zip/ sdcard, and
a)view /sdcard on my pc
b)install zip from SDcard and see the file, there was /0 /legacy and /oob
I have googled, I have searched to the best of my keywording abilities, and find answers on Why Nexus doesnt have sd articles, and other things like Nexus 4 and 7 results that don't help.
So if anyone would mind, giving me instructions to create or open the partition, I would appreciate it.
You need to be booted into recovery first. Then mount /sdcard from the recovery menu.
If you can't mount /sdcard, mount /data and push to /data/media/0

UI didn't get a mount /sdcard option at all to touch or select, which is strange. I did however download clockword MLD and found an option to partition SDCard. I'm going to see if that mad a change and post back. Thanks rootsu
The push method helped a lot. Love the learning experience

Wait? You're not going to "partition sdcard" are you? DON'T
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Dude, treat it as it was a Galaxy Nexus. Haven't had any problems with adb on both.

Thats what I did, is there a reason I should not. During my GS3 days, my Nexus ways became rusty. Nothing bad has happened yet, not that I have noticed. BTW, yes, the mount /data helped.
Anyways, what about the CWM option to -mount USB Storage
That doesn't seem to operate. Is this how it is for the N5?

Jeez, man really? You're lucky it seems to do nothing. This is for phones with an external sdcard with small internal memory (200MB for example) where it takes the external sdcard and creates an ext partition on it. This is NOT for your phone. Please never touch this again. Lucky you didn't do harm!

The nexus 5 isn't a USB storage device.

Hmm then I'm very out of the loop. I've been able to access the SD card and internal memory I'm sure from cwm in the past.
I figured since my Nexus S had a /sdcard that's what the partition was for. Glad it didn't brick, but I wonder if it did anything at all? I guess I'll find out or not at all. Agian, thanks.

It probably did nothing. You would next have been asked what size partition you want to make so if that didn't happen, sounds like it simply failed

It asked, but nothing happened. I think it just got confused and looked at me weird.
Probably as you don't have a dedicated /advanced partition - but its lucky
