The reason why i get this ERROR is that At the moment your system is restored from a backup and you can't make Backup of backup....
Ah ok, I understand now !
So, if I want to make another backup, I should first go to a fresh install or full wipe ?
Another trouble: there's no way to install any custom rom. Do you think it's for the same reason ?

nonsense... if you restore a nandroid backup it just writes the data from the nandroid backup to the desired partitions, so if you make another backup after restore, you just make the same backup.
If you just wipe chache/dalvik/data you still have system parition to backup. But if you wipe also the system, there is nothing to backup
This error most probably occur while there is some corrupted files you want to backup.
You need to look at /tmp/recovery.log while in recovery (adb pull it). Look in it for the last file that it tried to read before it gave the error. Your options are either delete that file or pull it then delete it. However, the file is corrupt in some way and the backup will never finish.
most probably is it the fault of /system/addon.d
If TWRP is seeing it as a normal file instead of a directory, it's broken. Just delete it (if you can) and try you backup again. It won't hurt anything with that directory removed, and will just be recreated next time you flash a rom.

Try this
1.Make Backup
2.Wipe everything
3..Restore Your Backup
4.And then Try again to make another Backup and you will get the same Error
Ok, thanks for your answers.
I'll try as soon as I can.

i just referenced to the error code 255. And what was mine solution back in the days of addon.d (which i stopped using)
Logicly if you restore a bcakup you can make backup again, but why would someone do that? You will end with the same backup as before.
And i dont use the IDOL3 anymore, gave it to my doughter to play with.

For some reason we can't back up all the partitions in nandroid. It should be enough to backup system and data. Optional: boot, logo (if you modified M boot logo), cache (usually not necessary), sd data (if you use ext partition on SD card).
With nandroid of system and data (and the others, but only if you use them) you should expect to be able to go back to exactly how your phone was at the time you made the backup. But you will lose changes you made after you made the backups.
When I'm about to start testing ROMs, I backup system and data. To go back to my pre-testing ROM I restore system and data and then wipe cache partition.

You want to say system and boot ?
Because changing a room modify system.img and boot.img
The boot.img is the same on all the ROMs thanks to the locked bootloader.
Yeah, I never even bother changing boot.img from the sbf version. If I did I'd probably use the Russian one because I think it was the most recently compiled.
Ok, I wasn't knowing that I always flash boot.img that come with ROM.
Hello,
I have problems restoring from nandroid backup.
Here what I did"
1) Flashed ROM1 and Flashed Kernel1.
2) Installed all My apps which I use.
3) Took Nandroid back-up.
4) Flashed ROM2. Flashed Kernel1.
5) Installed all apps.
6) After 1 days reflashed ROM1 and Kernel1.
7) Tried restoring Nandroid back-up I created 1 day back.
AND IT FAILS!!
Everytime I did a complete wipe of all data and catch and dalvik.
Same happened with CWM and AmonRa
CWM: md5 sums mismatch!!
AmonRa: Oops! Something went wrong!!
Am I mistaken about Nandroid back-up? Am I doing something wrong?
Actually I wanted to restore all my apps and data related to apps. I took whole system and data and everything backed up in the option.
1 Nandroid backup means it reflashes your backed up system with all your installed apps i.e if you have gb rom and do nandroid backup it will backup your current system( in this case gb) with all installed apps at the time you did backup.
2 You said it failed did it display any error while backing your nandroid backup.
3 Never heard of a backup being failed, you must have messed up something.
4 Md5 checksum mismatch means you either had a bad flash or if you moved or replaced some file also backup from different recovery will not work if you backed up from cmw then you cannot restore from amonra recovery, did you change recovery after backing up if you did then it wont work.
5. If you want to backup your apps and data next time try backing it with titanium backup root.Open titanium backup and press batch and then press backup all apps + data.
6. After flashimg new rom install titanium backup root from google play and press restore all app+data this will restore your apps with data.
7. If you use nandroid backup then your rom also changes to the rom that you had while backing up.
hope this helps
Go to your SDcard.. search and go to clockworkmod folder.. go to backup.. now whichever file you see.. Rename it xyz or anything WITHOUT any space!!
Try restoring then!!

I hadn't change anything but the name of the folder with some appropriate name like "CM-9.1.1 Final + CandiedIce Kernel + Apps", so that I can recognize it when I need it. No changes in the 5-6 files of recovery.
Didn't try restoring CWM back-up with AmonRa. Tried Amonra to Amonra and CWM to CWM. Failed all times (almost 5 to 6 times).
Does making folder name without any spaces in between work? If it's so, it's weird!! Is it that way? Should the folder name has to have NO SPACE?
"clockworkmode > backup > CM-9.1.1 + CandiedIce Kernel + Apps" - won't work.
But "clockworkmode > backup > CM-9.1.1+CandiedIce_Kernel+Apps" - will work??
Also, as known CWM couldn't back-up sdext. But otherwise No Error. While AmonRa did all back-up without any sort of error.
Dude.. just do it. WITHOUT ANY SPACE.. if you want to restore!!
And keep a small name!!
Eg: cm9.1.1.candied.ice
Dont use any special characters like $ & #

Use a custom recovery to backup. You can find them at galaxy nexus forum on xda
Yes, it restores everything. Nandroid backup is 1:1 copy of your entire phone memory. It will even restore your messages, call logs, accounts etc

yes, is 1:1; if you restore a nandroid it will take the same space as the rom you backed up, and no, if you make a nandroid backup, you won't loose any data whatsoever, you still can continue using the rom you backed up, but if you are going to restore a nandroid it's better to make a full wipe, like if you are installing a rom, that's the way i do it...

No, I didn't mean that you'd lose data when making a backup. That defeats the point of making a backup in the first place, lol.
I was talking about when you restore it. And from what you just wrote I assume that files that aren't overwritten when restoring remain. Similar to how you can flash a ROM "dirty".

guys i have some questions.........
1) nanadroid backs up all system apps and saved data like messages, phonelogs, contacts, saved settings right ??
2) if I flash a new ROM and then want to go back to the previous state by flashing nandroid backup, does it unroot my device?
3) I backup system apps + data by nandroid backup and SD card apps by Titanium Backup. Is this right ??

4) If I have a backup of stock ROM then flash a custom ROM like CM, system files will be different in CM. SO when I restore the stock ROM, files that are new to CM will still remain right?

do you use cwm recovery or twrp idk about twrp but if you are using cwm go to the cwm recovery go down to backup and restore now backup it to sdcard1 (sometimes its shown as backup to external sd card depends on your phone what u use) or just press backup it backups your current rom and your files and now press restore and chose your restore file or if you backup it to your sd card you can do the same thing just chose restore from external sd card and chose your restore file :good: done :good:
Okay, so I made a nandroid in cwm and my phone was working fine. I then factory reset and tried to restore my data but for some reason every time I try to restore my data I get an error and my phone bootloops. So I tried using TB Pro to restore texts/apps from my nandroid, but for some reason that backup won't show up. Only the backup that I made AFTER all of this shows up.
Anyone know if it's possible for me to atleast pull something out of the data part of the backup? The rest of the backup is fine and I've advance restored the rest of it. It's just the data that's being problematic. If I could figure out what's corrupt in the data portion of my backup, I could atleast restore parts of it and that's satisfactory enough for me.

HY,your problem ,in my opinion, has one solution.Try to plug your phone in the computer than open files that are on your phone.You should be able to open a folder called CWM ,in it you should find backup folder, and with it the cache,dalvik cache.That means you finished the backup correctly and you should try again restore it , if not the backup wasnt correctly completed and you cant restore the files.
You can open the data.img using a YAFFS file viewer, then extract the database that is associated with the SMS messages.
Hi guys,
unfortunately I had to revert back to one of my backups I made as a custom kernel was causing problems. So, I tried to restore a Nandroid backup I made, but that didn't restore my apps and had to go through the standard Google setup (like a had a brand new phone).
I tried again wiping wipe cache, Dalvik cache etc. before restore, but still no restore even though I didn't encounter any problems restoring. I checked the nandroid directory and the files it backed up were these (total size approx. 2 GB)
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
cache.ext4.win
cache.ext4.win.md5
data.ext4.win000
data.ext4.win000.md5
data.ext4.win001
data.ext4.win001.md5
recovery.emmc.win
recovery.emmc.win.md5
recovery.log
system.ext4.win
system.ext4.win.md5
I'm currently on 4.4.2 with stock kernel (3.4.0.gadb2201), Build no. KOT49H
Any suggestions what the problem could be?

Highlighted above in red would be the files that have your apps etc.
Run a restore again, and ONLY restore data, see if that helps out.
It should have restored everything unless you just restored boot or system.
btw, since you were just restoring because of a custom kernel, you didnt have to restore anything. all you had to do is flash the stock kernel(or any other kernel) witbout wiping anything, or just reflash your rom without wiping anything. you wouldnt have lost a thing nor have this headache. but, you chose to do it the wrong way.

From all accounts, it should be restoring your ROM 100% as you left it. I really don't get why it wouldn't be doing it with the apps.

Yeah, I even activated the MD5 verification in TWRP and I get no errors during the restoring process...I could try an older nandroid backup to see if that makes any difference.

Reflashed TWRP and tried again. Same issue. Although the older nandroid took forever and after 45 min. I just shut off the phone as it was going nowhere (status didn't move for that period).

Now it's making some sense a nandroid isn't necessarily the same depending on how it's created. For instance a nandroid created on cwm is not compatible with twrp and visa versa
As a plan B, you could try Titanium Backup which is capable of extracting apps & app data from nandroid backups. I think the feature requires TB Pro. Takes a while for it to unpack and parse everything, but it could be your best shot at getting a reasonably good restoration.

Thx for all the help guys! Truely appreciate the guidance.
What I didn't know is the nandroid backups I did were compressed. So I decompressed these, but after trying to restore these in TWRP no luck. I can however open and browse these in the nandroid backup manager or TI backup. I'm currently trying to restore the nandroid apps via nandroid backup manager. I'll let you guys know how that turns out.
I'm not sure what the difference between the TI app backup I have is and the current nandroid app+app data restore option would be. Isn't this essential the same thing the TI restore does with the apps?
And for the future what nandroid backup works reliably and would you recommend? I pretty paranoid about making backups, but I seem to have lost quite some confidence in nandroid backup, as it has failed me This has been a royal PITA....

I have always used a custom recovery for backups and have never had a problem. I use twrp, but that's just my preference. Cwm is good too

If you didn't already have a Titanium backup, extracting from the nandroid is a good last resort to have.
The main difference between extracting with Titanium and a full nandroid restore - the latter is very sensitive to small differences in backup format, and can only be restored all at once. In general you shouldn't expect to successfully restore a nandroid in recovery if you created it using a different recovery or an app. If you create with TWRP, it should restore properly with TWRP.

I always use Titanium Backup before I flash or backup anything. Then I restore my apps with no problems. It is a bit unusual for your apps not to be in your nandroid backup since it's basically like taking a picture of your phone and storing everything on it. I've never had this problem with TWRP. Hopefully you can figure it out...

Hi, I'm a bit new to Nandroid Backup, so when you click backup in TWRP then there is "Partitions to Backup" options. I read a guide that you have to check Boot, System, and Data. The thing is, can I just backup System and Boot? And when I restore them does my phone will gone wrong?
Thanks
• Boot is to start the phone up. This is always needed.
• System is for the ROM. This is always needed.
• Data is for your installed apps and settings. Basically, if you backup and restore this, it will be like you used a time machine.
Every data backup is for its own ROM! Do not ever try to restore a data backup from a different ROM!
• Cache is basically the cache. It is not needed, but you can. It speeds up the startup after restoring. If you don't backup it, it will be recreated anyway but you have to wipe your old cache first otherwise they will conflict.

• Data is for your installed apps and settings. Basically, if you backup and restore this, it will be like you used a time machine.
Every data backup is for its own ROM! Do not ever try to restore a data backup from a different ROM!
• Cache is basically the cache. It is not needed, but you can. It speeds up the startup after restoring. If you don't backup it, it will be recreated anyway but you have to wipe your old cache first otherwise they will conflict.
