I've definitely researched through the forums and haven't seen this problem/resolution, so I'm hoping someone can help me.
I installed Cyanogen 7 on my dad's HTC Hero (CDMA) and I think I may have botched it. I used Clockwork Mod's Rom Manager to do a backup of the HTC Sense 2.1, and then began updating to CM7. The update went brilliantly, but my dad realized he hadn't put all his contacts into his google account, some of which would be extremely nice for him to get back.
Un-worried, I pulled up clockwork mod and went to the manage backup and recovery but found no backup. Puzzled, I used file manager to dig through the directory and found the backup it said it made, but I can't seem to point the mod at it. I copied the recovery file into a variety of different basic folders, as some basic google fu suggested it might simply need to be in the right folder.
None of that worked and I couldn't find a similar problem in the folder, so I turn to you all. To create the recovery, I simply clicked Backup Current Rom, it rebooted, created a backup and reloaded, giving me the recovery file: recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.... Can't read the rest, but that should give you an idea. It's only 2.29 megs, which feels small, but who knows what you need for a recovery file.
I feel like I missed something important, but I can't figure it out. Anyone? Ideas? Help? Suggestions? Thanks so much.
If it's only 2.2 mbs, something went wrong. It should be approximately the size of the phone's used internal memory.
If you want to attempt to restore the backup, you can reboot into recovery, then restore manually instead of through Rom Manager.

So let me start off by saying I just rooted about a week ago and made my rom choice today - beans b15.
This is ty the first rom I have installed on this phone. Rom seems to work great thus far and I'm not even sure my problem is Rom related.
I keep getting a message in TB saying " cannot restore apps unless you tick install from unknown sources " or something to that effect when I do in fact have it ticked. I had this message show up last night while still running stock but I was backing up not restoring, so I paid it no mind.
Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.
And for the record I wiped x3 formatted /system then installed beans.
Edit: my backups are on my ext. SD if it makes a difference I can see them in file explorer.
Edit#2 : Problem solved. Simple reboot, noob move for sure.. Don't know if the mods want to delete this, or maybe it can help someone else..
s-off and rooted - firewater
recovery - CMW then reverted to stock (using zip from xda)
tried to apply OTA but got an error message:
"/system/app/VZW_Amazon_Audible.apk" has unexpected contents ... installation aborted.
I have gone and looked at the folder, and it does not have that file in it. I have previously uninstalled most of the Verizon bloatware, but I didn't remove any apk files manually. All the other Verizon apks seem to be there fine, just this one is missing.
Anybody can help? Please!

about this => I have previously uninstalled most of the Verizon bloatware, but I didn't remove any apk files manually ==> explain that. You need a complete stock ROM either use one found as a nand backup in the verizon m8 threads or use your own backup to return to stock. then try the ota. that should fix it
Thanks for the quick response. I understand I could do that, but that's an awful lot of work to get one file back. I might just go straight to one of the updated custom rom's. Thanks anyway!
I can get you an audible apk. That's all this man needs.

-If you keeping backup on titanium and you getting message 'no enough space' while making backup with titanium

The file you're downloading is an APK file, not a ZIP file. Install it directly on your phone without unzipping.
RAW sd card
Helllo guys.I am facing an issue regarding my sd card which it might be irrelevant with this thread but i need help:crying:
My sd suddenly appears to be useless!While it was working flawlessly suddenly a message appeared saying:"blank card or non recognisable".
I have searched and tried all the solutions suggested in various sites but not luck at all!My pc recognises it as :RAW card".
Any help?I have so many photos stored in this card:crying:
You are lucky at least its ext sd otherwise its difficult to get list files from int sd.
Still chances are there you may get image back though card cant revive. Try some good sw for image recovery i had same and retrive all images but couldnt get card working.

Rooted z1 c, 4.4.2:
SU granted, ran fix, got confirmation, restarted, no success. Tried twice. Sad.
Wonder why my phone is so stubborn? I do need the SD.

How is this app different from THIS mod ??
Because I use the above mod and it works fine.
This one doesnt requires cwm. Its just simple apk so user who are just stock rooted this one is best choice.

Please delete thread, creating new one in Q&A forum (my mistake)
Hi, so it has been a long time since I have worked with custom ROMs or root access on an android device (back when the Nexus 2 released) so I don't really remember anything and know nothing about how the android environment has changed.
The reason for my problem is that I was "hiding" sentimental/sensitive material in a folder associated with the Google Drive application using a file manager app (cut and paste into Drive folder) so that it wouldn't appear in Gallery scans, and when my drive app wasn't working as expected I (stupidly) uninstalled the update (can't actually uninstall the app on stock ROM) causing the folder to be wiped. Now I'm trying to find a way to recover the files but all the solutions recommended by a google search that I've tried require root and from what I know, correct me if I'm wrong, unlocking my bootloader to gain root access will wipe my internal storage which would probably defeat the whole purpose(?) of trying to recover information as it will overwrite the sectors. So does anyone know of anyway that I can recover this data from my device? I am willing to root as long as it will yield results.
tl;dr - need to recover files on stock P20 Pro (locked bootloader, no root), please help I am lost and noob now
Thanks in advance!

Delete pls
