[Q] Can't transfer nandroid backup from phone to pc? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've just made an Online Nandroid backup of my stock rom. It's stored in the clockworkmod folder located on the internal storage, but whenever i try to copy it from that folder to my PC, it just pastes a folder named "35", which contains no files. I have no idea why it's doing this!
Help please?

What if you do?
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod

I'm having the same problem as the OP. I made a nandroid backup using clockworkmod and I can't figure out how to get it off the Moto G and onto my computer. The above adb command just brings over two files: .recovery_version and .last_install_path.
The nandroid backup does not seem to be placed on the emulated sdcard. I can find it by using the Rom Toolbox root browser. It is in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.
But that directory is not visible when I connect the phone via usb. I try:
E:\install\Moto G Tools\MotoG-Tools>adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
and get:
remote object '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup' does not exist
Any ideas on how I can get the backup onto my PC?

Hello guys, proper path should be as below:
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup /designated/folder/for/backup/backup.date
JP

just use a file explorer like es and move your backup to somewhere that is visible from your comp and then just copy it over .

I tried that. With an 8GB Moto G I'm lucky to have enough space for one copy of the nandroid backup. When I tried to move the directory, it runs out of memory - I guess it is actually copying and deleting. I could try moving each file individually, but that is tedious and error prone and I could still run into the space problem.

Thanks. That worked.

Would u please give proper instruction on how to do it, my nandroid backup seems hidden when I open it on pc

First time when I have a problem like this, I see the backup on phone but when I conect the phone to PC I can't find it. So, I use Total Commander and move the backup file in phone in other folder, like "download". After that I seen it to PC. Now, I use TWRP 2.8.7 and I make the backup to an OTG connected USB stick. It's simple after that to move the backup where I want.

Could it be because the su or the recovery?

I use TWRP, but you must find it in this location: /storage/emulated/0/clockworkmod/backup/backup.date. If you not, you can try the adb command described by

Already try that app & didn't work.
I'm trying to use same method as this (using adb) but I can't seem find proper instruction or sample on how to do it - at least easy way
Can u help me give instruction (with capture if u may) or at least pointing me to thread that discuss this.
Thx

First, you may have motorola drivers installed on your PC. You can find them from here.
Another thing you need is Fastboot. Unzip fastboot on your desktop on a folder.
Charge your device above 60% battery level to avoid shutdowns during the process.
Enable USB Debugging on your phone from Settings> Developer options. If you do not find Developer option under device settings, enter to settings/about phone and touch "Build number" 7 times to enable them.
Conect your phone via USB to PC.
Open folder where you have fastboot, right click it and open a comand prompt from there
In the comand prompt enter:
adb devices
now you will see if all is ok and your device has been recognized. You should see something like:
List of devices attached
random numbers and letters device
If not, probably don't have the drivers installed properly OR you failed to authorize your computer for USB debugging.
Now you can enter adb commands in terminal and pull your backup from your phone. Commands will be something like:
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup /designated folder for backup/backup.date

Hello Forgone, I try ur suggestion.
But seems doesn't work, have I did wrong
My phone detected but when I try adb pull, it shows this messages

You not give the right command to pull out. After "...clockworkmod/backup/" you must enter the backup name not the path where to download. It will download to adb folder. The name of backup file could be, how it suggest @pacmanman something like "backup.date" (where date is the date you make it). Sry, but you must find the name of that backup file or at least guess it.

Gorgone, if its not to much, can u give screenshot on how u do it?
I'm confused

Look at your picture. As you see in green what you do till here was good. Your device is recognize. Now, what I underlined with yellow was not OK. There you must put your Backup file NAME. The name is usual something like "backup.date" where date means the date you made the backup. It's nothing to do if you don't know that name, so at least try to guess it.
I use TWRP so my path will be a little different. TWRP is better for make and restore backups, you can even make a backup on an USB stick on OTG, so you don't ocupie the internal memory space, also you can easy move it where do you want.

[Q] [App] Carbon Backup - Can't restore - Help Please

Hi I used carbon backup unrooted, and did a PC Download of all my app data for about 200 apps, so have a 2GB zip file.
I went on PC download again and tried to upload this to restore my device, but it never seems to upload, it just hangs there.
Is there anyway to convert this file so that I can put it on the device and restore from USB storage?
Thanks!

I have found that if you transfer the files to your PC you should find that each app has a .ab file. You then download android developer tools to your machine and restore each file individually using such a command as:-
adb restore file.ab
When it asks for the password on the phone just hit accept. If you backed up the apk originally it should install it and restore the data, if not download the app from the play store, don't open it and do the adb restore to just do your data.
This worked for me on a couple of Apps.
Obviously you need to enable usb debugging etc.

Carbon uses the native backup option included in the 4.0+ sdk so you simply use ADB to restore these files.
I am a mac / linux person so if you are using windows it might vary a small amount.
Get the Zip file created by carbon and unzip it somewhere e.g. your desktop
Download the developer tools from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and extract the files somewhere e.g Desktop
Enable USB debugging on the phone + install drivers for your phone if using windows + connect phone to computer via USB.
Open up command prompt / terminal and navigate to the folder containing the ADB app on a mac it's in platform-tools.
Find the app from within folder containing the extracted carbon backups and find the app you want to restore. The file should end in a .ab file extension. Look at the file size. If it's quite big compared to the app size listed within the play store and when you created the carbon backup you told it to include the apk's there is a good chance the app is included. If it is too small they install the app from the play store but don't open it.
Then run something like the following in the command prompt:-
adb restore path/to/the/file.ab
A screen should pop up on your phone asking you to enter a password to restore the file. You don't need to enter one. Just click what ever the positive button is to continue. It should restore successfully. If so, open the app and your settings should be there.
Let me know if you need anymore help

[Q] Titanium Backup folder not accessible via MTP, shows up as a file

I'm using Titanium Backup on the latest L Preview and while the apps and data get backed up fine, I'm unable to access this folder from the PC via MTP. In This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\storage\emulated\legacy, there is a blank icon file called TitaniumBackup, which is supposed to be a folder in which all the data is stored. Using ES File Explorer on the phone, I can see that the files are all stored in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, but when I try to open that on the PC (This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\TitaniumBackup), the folder is empty.
Is there any security setting that causes this? How do I access the files in the folder from the PC?
UPDATE: I just used ES File Explorer to move all the files from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup into /sdcard/TitBac and I can now access these. I still think this is a workaround and that there has to be a better way to do this.
you could use "adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup somefolder"
mtp is generally buggy for me, so i got used to adb push/pull
I'm having the EXACT same problem. Go to backup save location, and nothing but one 4.0 kb file. No backups. I can see them in ES, but I'm also having a separate issue writing to shared folders on my pc with ES. Can anyone provide some insight?
When you first plug the phone in, all folders appear as a file. It takes a bit for windows to determine their actual properties. Bigger folders take longer. So try waiting a bit. Otherwise try mtp in TWRP or adb pull as mentioned
This also just happened on the Galaxy SIII Intl with a recent OmniROM nightly. Now, prior to flashing Lollipop, I was running an Omni nightly on the Nexus 5 as well. Not sure if this has something to do with it...

This is worth a shot. I also just looked for some ADB-based file explorers and found a few, but one of them was abandoned and the other one requires GTK+ and building, so I'm wondering if you've got a personal favorite...

I'm pretty sure I waited a reasonable while before concluding this, but other than the Windows Explorer progress bar, there's really not much you get to go by. The Titanium Backup folder in question doesn't have too many files (~500) and I've had folders with images and videos (DCIM, mostly) with at least 5 times more files show up instantly. I don't think this is the issue, but I'll give it a try when I face this problem next.

This is convenient if you use a ROM kitchen, or just want to make a backup of your system without using custom recovery. Some devices do have weird partition names, and munky-tool will not find them. If this happens to you, run the following command in terminal emulator
Code:
ls /dev/block/platform/*/by-name
Paste the output and your device name in the comments, and I will work your device in if possible.

Thank you.
I've been working on the same sort of thing, and trying to figure out how to get adb connected to the phone with debugging off, for those people (I won't use the word I'm thinking of) who don't make backups, then break the screen, or bootloop the phone. Your script makes finding the data partition trivial, but I'm still working on the "force debugging on from outside" part.
But munky is going to be part of my phone from now on.

It is usually done in bootloader, but I am pretty sure I can make it work. Just need to test it before I release it. I am also going to release this as an apk soon. (Don't know how soon, but I probably won't have time for a few weeks)
An app that we can point new users to that will back up their userdata partition? Fantastic!

Yeah, I think it will fill a need. I am going to do an APK to do the things from this script, and a corresponding GUI Linux package for APK modding, and maybe do something for Windows as I get time. In the process of moving somewhat unexpectedly, so it is taking longer than I would have liked.

Quick way of accessing screen to broken devices.

Hi,
So my screen broke yesterday and I needed to check my phone for missed important calls. I know there is lots of solutions out there, but I needed a way access your screen without the installation of any software on your phone. I was lucky because my digitizer still works so I can still use the touch feature and figure out on my screen where to press . I figured i would post it, might save someone someday....
Note: Works on Android 4.0 +
You need to have have developper options enabled so this can work. So first of all, I need to enable ADB from recovery. There is lots of post on the forum and google, so I will not cover this part.
Once I had ADB enabled, I wrote a small batch file that would take a screenshot from my phone, then pull it to my pc, wait 1 sec, then restart. After I used chrome and a auto-refresh extension to refresh the image every second. I will assume that you have ADB installed and all drivers for adb working. Here it goes
1. You will need to create a batch file. Open notepad and paste this into it.
Code:
:start
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
timeout 1
goto start
Save it as ss.txt, or whatever you like. Then go to desktop and rename ss.bat or "whatever you like.bat"
This may vary a bit if you do not have an SDcard, or if your directory is not named the same way, So change SDcard to the name of your storage folder.
Copy it to your adb directory.
2. Open a Command Prompt as Admin change directories to ADB folder. Once you are there, just type ss and the batch should start.
3. Open chrome and install an auto-refresh extension. I used this one:
HTML:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/easy-auto-refresh/aabcgdmkeabbnleenpncegpcngjpnjkc?hl=en
4.Then open your c:\ drive in chrome (type in the address bar file:///C: ). Navigate to your adb folder and open screen.png.
5. Start auto refresh on screen.png opened in chrome and set to 1 second.
Now you will have a screenshot of your phone being refreshed every second! I agree its slow, but its an easy way to get on your phone and configure other applications such as vnc or other stuff or just to get the phone number of that hot date you had last night.
Other thoughts: I your digitizer is broken, you can always just get a USB on the go adapter and plug-in a mouse and use ADB over wifi.
I guess you can also use an usb micro to hdmi adapter and plug it in to a monitor, they have them at bestbuy for 20$ if you dont want to make your life complicated.
Have Fun!

Should of mentionned, dosen't work with gingerbread, you need 4.0+ if i recall correctly. Maybe, if your lucky, the manufacturer may have included their version instead of screencap since it did not exist back, i would take a look in the bin folder to try to find an equivalent if not you are out of luck with this method.

Accidentally deleted bluetooth

I accidentally deleted bluetooth. I flashed(?) the stock recovery found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/twrp-recovery-root-blu-pure-xl-allview-t3269447 and had no luck. I also tried factory resetting it. Any ideas on how to get it to work again? Whenever I try to enable bluetooth I get the "Bluetooth share has stopped working" error.

Do you mean you uninstalled one of the Bluetooth apps in System > Advanced Settings > Apps > All?
If so, please use some sort of root explorer app (you have to be rooted first) to navigate to either /system/app/Bluetooth or /system/priv-app/Amigo_Bluetooth and install whichever .apk that appears to be not installed. I believe this should fix your issue.

Interesting.
I've uploaded my /system/app/Bluetooth folder here. Could you please download that, extract the folder inside to somewhere, and either:
Push the folder via adb using the command adb push Bluetooth /system/app/ while your command prompt/terminal is in the same directory where you extracted the "Bluetooth" folder (cd DRIVE:\your\directory\path\Bluetooth (Windows) or ~/your/directory/path/Bluetooth (Linux) ).
or
Transfer the extracted "Bluetooth" folder to either your microSD or a USB Drive, plug it into your phone and move the folder to /system/apps using your root file explorer app.
Finally, install the Bluetooth.apk inside (which I'm assuming is the one you uninstalled since it is missing).
Let me know how it goes, thanks!

Interesting.
I've uploaded my /system/app/Bluetooth folder . Could you please download that, extract the folder inside to somewhere, and either:

Do I creat app folder?
I don't have a /system/app/ folder, just a /system folder with subfolders, none are called app.
Do I create the app folder?

Can you check again? Make sure you go to your system folder from your phone's root directory. It should contain almost all of the default apps installed on your phone when it came out of the box (with the rest of it being in priv-apps).
I have the exact same problem as the OP - I tried downloading the said file but my phone says the file is corrupt - can someone please send an updated version?
Same problem, file corrupt.
Bluetooth got erased because the system detected that the app was sending sms by itself (or so it said) and thus deleted it. I have the same problem as the one above, the file seems to be corrupt and can't install the .apk
Please, if there is another way to solve this say so.
Same problem...
I have the same problem as above, my phone detected the SMS permission and said it might cost you money and recommend an uninstall. I never realised I would be able to uninstall Bluetooth without being rooted but it did it anyway - maybe it's an android bug?
Anyway, I tried downloading your Bluetooth.apk and reinstalling but it said file corrupt.
Any help would be much appreciated! Sounds like this is a bug that's been going around...

following this thread will allow you to reload the factory rom to default settings, including all factory apps and files. this is a "OEM reset"
to the fullest, bringing phone back to factory sent condition. (be prepared to do a few ota updates when done)
pay attn and read the whole thread (Yes I know its long) especially when it talks about SP Flash tool...

Thanks for the info.
I dont know yet if a simple apk via adb could fix the problem here instead of flashing the complete device
Fixed
Hey, I had a look elsewhere and found a forum on the Lenovo website (can't post link here), hopefully this will work for you too.
Basically you want to go to Settings>Apps>Reset app settings and that'll do the trick.
Good luck!
