Why does this happen ... thanks
I'm using V2froyoXToptimized update v2 v3 update
sorry translation
did you unrar the file and then place it in sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery or just place the rar. you must first unrar khals rom down to just the folder with boot.img boot.md5 system.img and system.md5 in it then place the folder with those in the sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery folder
the procedure that you're saying I have performed and the result is that in post....
so inside the Xtmiuioptimized folder there is 4 items? boot.img boot.md5 system.img and system.md5? and in open recovery when you select xtmiuioptimized in the restore menu it should say only boot and system in the restore options.
yes..the files are 4
restore option for xtmiuioptimized
go back
restore all
restore selected
The directory structure on the sdcard should be...
Code:
/sdcard
/nandroid
/openrecovery
/xtmiuioptimized
boot.img
boot.md5
system.img
system.md5
if your folders match these I would try coping them from your pc again.
Çheck restore all and if that doesn't work your file might be corrupt so try tranfering the folder again.
is the path and just... 3rdstring...Thank you
easye420.. I had already tried I'll try again tomorrow...Thank you
did you try checking the boxs next to system and boot in the partitions sections of the restore menu in open recovery. try that and if that doesnt work and you say you already tried replacing the folder and that didnt work id say your download must have been corrupt id try to redownload it and try again. this happened to me before and if that doesnt work try try making a back up of your current phone and restoring that back up and see if that works. and if that doesnt work try reistalling Open recovery thru the system recovery app and try again. lot of trial and error unless anyone else has better ideas
The ROMs we're flashing only update boot and system. When nandroid restore says "not backed up" it just means it's skipping restore of a partition because there isn't a backup to restore. It's harmless.

if you reed his first post its says all partitions are not back up boot and system included. so its like theres nothing in the folder to restore like restoring a empty folder.
exact is just so happens to me
solved
extract rar folder then take the (sub xtmiuioptimized folder) and put the SD card installed .... ok .......sorry

[Q] (PLEASE HELP) Can't find "Backups" folder in "Clockworkmod" folder?

[Q] (PLEASE HELP) Can't find "Backups" folder in "Clockworkmod" folder?
I can't find the folder named "Backups" inside of the larger folder named "Clockworkmod"...I recently went to Liquidsmooth 4.4.4 and the ROM is fine but I wanted to restore and can't backup.....
When I try to restore from recovery mode I get the "MD5 Mismatch" error, which apparently can be quickly fixed with access to the MD5sums file.. The problem is that my computer is not finding the "Backups" folder, and neither is my phone's file browser. I know it's there because when I go into recovery mode with Clockwork and look at the restorable backups there's a backup sitting there under Clockworkmod/Backups..... Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

cannot access CWM backups files on Lollipop

I'm presently on lollipop 5.0.2 and i've done a CWM backup but i cannot find the file anywhere. The file really exist since that the space left have changed by 1gb. I need to access the backup files to copy them to my PC.
/data/media/clockworkmod/backup exist but no file inside
/mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup exist but no file inside
anybody have an idea?
I tried using CWM and TWRP on my stock lollipop build and both of them gave me errors when trying to mount the data partition so I gave up. I'm not sure if either recovery is fully compatible with stock LP.
If you want to delete them, delete backup through cwm. You cant view files in android.

I would like to copy the backup from the phone to my pc. This is why i need access to that file.
I used CWM on my Moto G and s3 and I can see the cwm backup folder and files using ES File Explorer with KK.

Where is mmssms.db located in a TWRP backup of Nougat>

I am trying to extract the file mmssms.db from several nandroid (TWRP) backups of Nougat. I know that in Nougat this file was moved to "/data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases". I can browse to this file on my phone but if I browse through the contents of the data partition backup from the nandroid backup files (data.ext4.win00X) the path "/data/user_de/" does not exist. Can anyone tell me where this file can be found in a TWRP backup archive? Otherwise I will have to completely restore these backups one by one to pull each iteration of the file off the phone.
I think that TWRP doesn't backup this folder for the simple raison that Nougat is quite new.
Maybe it backups only a list of folders in /data (but I can't confirm it)
I got just ****ed right now, me too.

'Restoring' New 6039S with Existing 6039S Backup

So I've ordered a new 6039S to replace my 2-year old 6039S. That said, I've finally got my current one dialed in almost perfectly to suit my needs, so I'd like to backup the current one and flash that backup onto the new device.
Naturally I would install a custom recovery and backup the new device first, but are there any potential problems with the above approach? I'm assuming I could 'restore' all the backed-up partitions from the current to new device other than perhaps /boot? Sorry if either question is really ignorant...I'm clearly not a developer.
Hi Bradlee - I have done the exact same thing with two 6039y's - Make sure they are the EXACT SAME MODEL PHONES !! and install the same version of TWRP on each phone.
1 - Backup your old 6039s with twrp - Only backup the system, data, cache and boot partitions - DO NOT BACKUP EFS
2- Backup your new 6039s with twrp - backup all (to create the correct folder structures) (and have a backup if you have a problem you can restore) - DO NOT RESTORE EFS partition
You will notice that the "BACKUPS" folder in the TWRP folder on each device that contains the TWRP backup will have a diiferent number eg - "f2eeega" this is different for each device.
simply copy the the backup folder from the old device within the numbered folder and copy it to the new device placing it in the new devices different numbered folder.
Then restore using TWRP and you will have an identical clone of your old device.
It worked perfectly with my 2 phones
Best of luck.
as always I take no responsiblity if you mess up your phone - but if you follow my instructions exacly you will not have any problems and have 2 identical phones

Wow, I didn't think I'd find someone else who'd actually done it. I really appreciate the notes on folder numbering, EFS partition, and TWRP version! Thanks a ton k500zm! :good:
No probs matey - One other thing - after you have done this, you will need to copy the contents of your internal sd card. [user data, photos etc]
First - get rid of any big files eg movies etc that you can easly copy back over - then -
What I do - to make sure it is an exact copy - is create a RAR archive [with no compression] (or zip but I prefer RAR) containing all the folders you want on the old phone
then copy that RAR / zip to the new device internal sd card and then extract the contents of the RAR / zip to the new device internal sd card.
I use the RAR app from playstore and this archiving and extraction is done on the phone - NOT on your computer.
This makes sure there are no errors / missing files.

Try this.
In the new device install twrp 3.1.0-0, boot in twrp, execute this https://forum.xda-developers.com/id...e-recovery-t3573635/post71446256#post71446256 , you will get a backup rom zip on desktop, install twrp 3.1.0-0 on the old one and install the backup rom zip on it.
The backup rom zip have the same images then a ota upgrade rom.

Thanks to you both. I have to figure out which route I want to take now; it's good to have options.
persona78, regardless of which backup process I use, I'll try to find time to test out your OTA install theory on the old device.
