I'm unable to make any Nandroid Backups on my i9500, running TWRP 2.7.0.0. Previously, I was able to make backups as well as restore them. But I've started having this problem since 15-20 days. I want to flash to a Custom ROM right now, but I can't because none of my older Nandroid backups are working, and when I try to make a new one, it says - Backup Complete, Failed. The same happens even when I enable compression. The other features are working fine, I'm able to flash ZIPs normally.
How can I get rid of this problem? Should I flash an older version of TWRP? If yes, how should I do it? Just flash it through recovery?

Hey there..
This problem might occur if there is not enough space left in your SD card.
please make sure that there is enough space left on the external storage before making a backup..
cheers
Hi!
There seems to be a few threads on twrp here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop
I'm not sure which you flashed, but you could try a different version found in thread above....just follow the instructions in the thread. Or explain your issue in the thread you got yours from.
I see you have only 8 posts, and you need 10 under your belt to be allowed to post in the development section. So just browse around the i9500 section in general and q&a and make a few "useful" posts.
Here's the i9500 section.

Good luck!

I just recently formatted it, from the option available in settings.
So there's like 6-7 GBs free space. I can't backup to Internal Storage or to Ext SD Card.
I'll try downgrading TWRP and see if that works.
Problem solved
I successfully flashed CWM. You may mark this as Solved/Completed now.
Thank you so much for your help.

So I went to run nandroid backup and it's saying
"Performing backup."
"Error running nandroid backup. Backup not performed."
That's all it says, and takes me back to the recovery screen...
I'm assuming this has to do potentially with the storage on my SD Card... any suggestions?
I am running Cyanogen 4.0.4 w/ Enoch v1.3
Also, on a side note, is there any way to roll back from Apps2SD so that Apps2SD stops working? Is it just as simple as re-partitioning the SD as FAT32 and move along? will cyanogen move the apps liek before? or should I reflash at that point?
thanks a bit of a newb, finally signed up here as I've been floating around a bit...
thanks in advance... Also I did search the forum, in hope someone had the issues I did, but foudn nothing.. ( I dont search well )
Delete your nandroid backups on your SD Card and try again. It should work then.
next time ask in the Q&A section

Sorry about that... can I delete this and move it over there?
So after rooting and flashing the "Clean" ROM v1.1 I had internal storage issues. First the gallery app would not work. It would give me a message "not enough memory" when trying to open it. Also I could not save any downloads, I would get a message that download failed. So, I recovered to the stock ROM provided in the guide (I have a GT-p5113). Recovering to this stock ROM fixed the above issues. However at this time I noticed that my internal storage shrank from the stock 16GB to about 2 GB total (even if i deleted everything my total internal storage would only be 2GB). So it's like my internal memory went from 16GB to 2GB for no reason. See attached screenshot. I'm not sure if that happened after installing the custom "Clean" v1.1 ROM or when I recovered back to the stock ROM. I've since flashed both the "Infected" ROM and the CM9 ROM and with those I still have the reduced storage area and the problems with the gallery app and inability to save downloads.
Anyone have any ideas what happened and how I can get my storage space back?
Same Problem here
Im having the same problem with mine Ive flashed all three of those roms and have no internal storage space left really. the Misc Files in internal storage has jumped to 8.34 GB and an available 2.18 left.
Please someone help us.
P.S. if you figured out how to fix this please post back.
Thanks!
Gallery "not enough memory"
Similar issue. Tried wiping Dalvik but still not working. Installed 3 times wiping data each time. Any ideas?
Same exacts specific problem as kdubbfive.
im not sure Dunkn.Mynes has the same problem. He is losing free space as if something is taking up room .Dunkn, check you r. clockworkmod directory isnt on your internal memory, taking up more room each time you r un a back up.
Just to underline kdubbfive's problem.
have gt-p5113 - same here
installed cleanrom 1.1 - - same here here
total internal memory shrunk from 16gb to 2gb - same here
restored and tried other roms, internal memory remains 2gb
Weird thing is i had the exact same problem putting clean rom on my phone - Motorola atrix
if i dont he of any fixes ill probably try factory restore with kies and the computer image. i only have a chinese stock image that is suppoosed to be the same as USA version. but I'm not convinced of it.
ill post if i get the nerve to try this our find another fix. if anyone has stock image for gtp5113 p please post. good luck.
Thanks for the Info - Hope to find Solution
Glad to hear someone else is having the exact same issue. I've been going crazy trying to find a solution. Please post if you are successful. I'll do the same.

HERE's what worked for me (kind of a complete wipe)
I'm a novice, first time writing instructions, and 2nd time ever posting so let me know if I missed something, and I'll try to get back to you on it.
Make backups as best you can (CWM recovery, Titanium, nandroid)
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST. Haven't tried recovery of data yet. That's the concept behind all the backups above.
Not sure all was neccessary, or what step was key so here is all of it:
Install Kies http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
Connect tablet and follow any Samsung Instructions exactly
What is says there is updated ROM available, allow it to to install.
On reboot your system will not be rooted, and data will be there (only for the moment), on mine internal storage was still 2GB
Do a factory reset, wipe any cache and all that. Maybe repeat for good luck.
Follow the rooting instructions exactly here including re-downloading files and following all precautions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
(I noticed the cwm file has a PIT file in it which relates to internal memory partitioning. I suspect this may have been key here.)
Follow instructions all the way to the end.
In the end I had 12GB internal which is normal because I think there are 2 2GB hidden partions there for ROM and maybe swap file, I don't know)
I'm going to make a backup now, then go back to see what I can recover. On second thought, maybe I'll just start fresh. Also, I think I'm done with custom roms. I can deal with the junk Samsung programs for the sake of dependability.
Good luck. I'll check back to see if you have questions.
Thank You!!!
Worked like a charm! Thanks, a million!

Dear xda-members,
I'm new to flashing ROMs. I've followed some tutorials and managed to install some cool ROMs on my nexus 4. However, I have a question: Do old ROMs leave crap, like old files? Or does the device get partitioned everytime I flash a ROM? How does it work? Can someone explain this please? Because it seems like I have lost 1.4gb of internal space, while installed a lighter ROM. I've searched the forum, but couldn't find the answer I am looking for.
I always make sure I do a factory reset and clean cache before installing a new ROM. I want to be sure that I am not wasting any space on this device, since it only has 16gb.

Found it. Somehow clockworkmod had made a backup of my backups in /mnt/clockworkmod/backup. Thread can be closed.

if your talking about your internal storage being 16gb that is normal, some Roms can Take alot of Space it just the way they are built, that must be one built rom then if its taking up that much storage.

Before installing a new rom, you need to wipe cache and Dalvik Cache to avoid any problem

I'm going to apologize in advance that this may not come out correctly. But tonight I tried to flash 5.0 on my HTC One M8 using Vanilla Pop, I went onto skydragon and downloaded the firmware from there and then loaded Vanillapop. When I went to upload my apps from titanium backup, they were all gone. Upon further inspection, what happened was a new level of folders laid on top of the old ones, so on this new level all the folders are empty and to get to my old ones I have to click on a "0" and then I can see all my backups and saved information. I decided to go back to 4.4.4 and Viperrom but when I reloaded the 4.4.4 frimware, it created another level. so now to get to my files on the internal memory card I have to click 0/0/foldername to get to my files and viperrom won't recognize the extra levels and give me an error of a bad internal memory card. How to I eliminate these two extra levels that were created or how do I point ViperRom in the right direction so I can setup my phone. I am definitely back on 4.4.4 so I don't think it is incorrect firmware.
Thank you and please let me know what details I can share if my description wasn't clear.

If your items are restored I would save them to your sd card also save the rom zip that you want to install to your sd card and also do a cloud back up then just take your sd card out and go to recovery and do a complete wipe of everything before doing so go to mount and make sure everything is mounted then wipe everything including internal memory.
If it were me I would have the newest ruu on another sd card and after wiping everything just run the ruu off your sd card which when you go to fastboot it should pick up the ruu on your sd card, just make sure to click yes to run the ruu.
This will get all your issues fixed and get you back to 100% and you can then install whichever rom you want from your other sd card and restore all your apps and so on.

What recovery version are you using? I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is caused by a bug in the Official TWRP 2.8.1.0. Captain_Throwback has a version I have been using that is working flawlessly. You can download it from here: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de.../TWRP_Recovery_2.8.1.0_M8_exFAT_test_CPTB.img
You would still need to cleanup what has been done as mentioned by M9guy, but the new recovery should prevent you from getting into that situation again.

I'm using Philz CWM recovery. I'm trying to look on the internet but can't find a link that explains how to eliminate the levels of folders that I found. I have a Nandroid, if I load this will it change the internals to go back the way they were? I'm scared I'll mess things up worse then they are.
I'd stay where I am except somehow after flashing a few roms I have acquired a bug that is driving me nuts, I can't get rid of the grey bubble that no calendars selected and I can't hit buttons/apps/letters that are below the bubble and it is persistent. It won't go away.

That's your mistake. Philz is junk and should be avoided at all costs. I have read nothing but horror stories from people who have used it.
I went back and flashed TWRP and then formatted data to cleanly wipe everything. Now I'm reloading Viper but when I get to the setup screen it still has problems identifying the internal memory. I can't use the walk through setup which includes the back up. I'm trying to reflash the rom one more time to see if things change.
Thank you everyone for your help and if anyone has anything to add please let me know.

Not sure if Wipeing from TWRP will do it or not. I think you have to install the Stock Recovery and do a factory reset from there. Then you can install TWRP. Stock Recovery does more than TWRP when wiping.
Yes, I first installed stock recovery, did the factory reset and then loaded TWRP.
I see S-off reads off in bootloader so I think I am ok with that.
Thanks everyone for your help. I think I got it. The phone commented that the internal memory card wasn't valid but other than the setup wizard everything seems to be working and I got rid of the levels and the persistent, no calendar message seems to be gone.

The problem isn't that the recoveries junk it's that it hasn't been updated in ages. Its running old device files creating issues with newer roms and the Android multiple user accounts creating 0 folders. I don't think it's fair to call it junk since it's not supported and hasn't been for quite a while . The developer has stated this. A pretty well known developer has kept the recovery up to date which should correct this issue if you still wanted to run his recovery. I won't stand behind it because I haven't run it but typically this developer is good as gold. Here's the link we all know the name.

M9guy, thank you very much for the suggestion. I was scared to do what you requested in fear of messing things up worse then they were. Right now the only problem I'm having is I can't use the setup tool which messed up trying to auto load all of my apps. I had to go through all my apps manually and bring them back. Aside from that everything seems to be working fine. The stupid bubble telling me no calendars selected is gone and the two additional levels are gone from the system. I'm now using TWRP recovery instead of Philz. Thank you much !!!!!

Your welcome, glad you got it fixed. I know it all seems like a lot, you just have to take baby steps I was the same way, but once you start doing things you will realize oh its not that difficult. You just have to read up and then read again and normally you can get your needs accomplished. There is always people willing to help as we were in your same position at one point and someone helped us the same so its good karma for us to do the same and pay it forward. We are all grasshoppers in a large field all still learning. There are always many ways to do things some may be harder but if the end result gets you fixed really that is all that matters and you learn as you go. Have fun with it and reap the benefits !!!!!!

The only lingering problem from trying to upgrade my phone to Lollipop is now my phone won't allow me to use setup wizard and when I try to load apps from the Google Play store, my phone is no longer listed as being a Verizon Wireless phone, it now looks like my Nexus 7 which reads "No Carrier" is there a trick to getting that back?
Thanks again,

Not sure but maybe somehow your cid got changed you can also change it to cid 11111111 for super cid, or I do believe factory verizon m8 should be VZW__001 to change it to that go to fastboot usb and with adb tools enter the command
fastboot oem writecid VZW__001
and hit enter and it should confirm.
You can check this out at the link below.

Hello there,
I was in the middle of installing recovery, root and a custom ROM on my SM-T210 (Galaxy Tab 3 7"), when the title happened. I don't think the issue is device related though, so that's why I'm posting here.
I have StockRom Kitkat Version 1.7 (not the stock rom, that's just what it's called) installed at the moment, but I didn't like it so I wanted to go for Supernova (2.1) and flash that. This would've worked if TWRP didn't suddenly stop being able to see my files in internal storage...
My device isn't encrypted so that's not the issue. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Hello,
Make sure you are mounting system and data
Make sure zip files type is selected and not IMG files
Try moving to SD card and try to see if it's there if you have one
Reflash twrp -make sure it's the latest twrp-
Then boot into it, flash rom
-Hope- said:

Thank you very much sir, using an SD card did it for me! TWRP was already the newest one I could use so that wasn't an option, the other 2 tips I also already tried.
