I've been having issues flashing the latest Lineage OS. I restored this time and for some reason it moved alot of the system folders into a folder named "0". I didn't think anything of it. So I tried flashing LOS again, still did not work. So I go to restore my phone but when I go to the restore section there is nothing there anymore. I know the files are still there. If I go to the "install" section I can see the main system folder and even the "backup" folder in the "twrp" folder along with my actual backup. How do I get TWRP to see my back up now that all the system files are moved to folder "0"?

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
I have CWM 6.0.1.0 as my recovery and I have a good number of backups saved on my sdcard spanning a number of different roms (mostly cm10 official nightlies). I understand that the newer CWM backs up roms using a different method than before. When I look in my Clockworkmod directory on the sdcard, I see a BLOBS folder and a BACKUP folder. The latter contains the backups, but they are very small in size. So do I understand correctly that the bulk of the backup information is in the BLOBS folder?
Assuming that's true, how do we safely:
1) Delete individual backup? If I delete a backup from the BACKUP folder, how will it know what to delete from the BLOBS folder? Do we have to actually delete the backup from within recovery in order for it to delete the proper BLOBS info? Or can I delete an individual backup from the BACKUP folder from Root Explorer? If I do that, won't the BLOBS folder continue to grow in size with outdated information?
2) Back up the CWM backups to my PC? I assume I have to back up the entire BLOBS folder to my PC, right? And then I can just back up individual backups from the BACKUP folder, right? But I would need BOTH the individual backup and the entire BLOBS folder back on my phone to restore a backup, right? If so, then I revert back to question 1 and ask how to I pare down the BLOBS folder without messing up individual backups?
Thanks!
You can delete backups from Rom Manager or if using the newest version of cwm you can delete it from recovery. As far as backing it up. I just deleted all but the one(s) wanted and copy the cwm folder to my computer. Hope that helps.

So we have to delete old backups using Rom Manger or from within Recovery? I delete some of them from Root Explorer, so does that mean the Blogs info will still retain old data. Or will it know to clear that space simply because the old backup files are missing?

I'm not sure how the blog info works. I just assumed if you delete from cwm it knows whats the data incorporated with the specific backup and it deletes it with it.
Wow, I tried copying the Clockworkmod folder to my PC via USB and it took over an hour just to index and then it just stopped and failed. I imagine because there are so many individual files in the Blobs folder that it causes Windows indexing to crash. I deleted all the old backups I didn't need, did the free up space thing in CWM and it's still impossible to copy to my PC. I have 3 backups left (from different roms), so I supposed the Blobs folder is going to be pretty large.
So I can see how this backup method works out good on the phone itself because it makes backups easier and faster. But trying to back them up to PC is ridiculous. The old way where I could just copy over an individual backup was much easier.
Isn't there a better way? Someone suggested zipping the Blobs folder up on the device first and then copying to PC, but zipping the Blobs folder is taking forever as well...
Flashed a ROM and the ROM moved the all files in the root of my storage to a folder within a series of subfolders.
This is bad because my TWRP folder containing my backups was in the root of my storage.
But of course things can't just work how you'd expect, so my computer and phone refuse to copy the TWRP folder back to where it belongs.
My computer refuses to copy the files "data.ext4.win000"
There seems to be nothing I can do about this. My phone wont copy it and my computer won't either.
However, I am wondering if there is a way to make TWRP restore from a backup that is not where it belongs.
Whenever I go to restore, it doesn't give me an option to search elsewhere for my backups. Yet for some reason I am allowed to install a .zip from wherever I want.
Is there some sort of terminal command I can do within TWRP to make this work? Thank you.
I had created a nandroid backup on CWM before flashing a rom which failed, causing me to adb sideload back to my old ROM. But before doing so I attempted to restore the backup (which also failed). But after booting in, i noticed that I had multiple 0 folders in my internal storage. Now the available storage on my device does not add up. Also when I open the device on my computer, there is a 8gb zip file that always appears under the "0" folder. Even if I delete it, it returns after rebooting and it cannot be opened or copied. I believe the backup is hidden within this folder but I am not sure how to delete it. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

First off, flash TWRP instead of this old CWM. Then try to delete your file of 8Gb (which is VERY high for a nandroid...).
This is my first time posting here and I am not sure how to best classify this question with tags, so please excuse me.
Here's the problem: I have backed up the data partition with TWRP and then wiped my Note 10.1 2014 before installing a fresh stock ROM. I did this because it went into a bootloop. When I tried to do a restore of the data partition through TWRP it sent the tablet back into a bootloop, so I had to redo the wipe and installation. I am only really trying to get one thing from the data partition, my S Note notes, so I thought I'd try to do this manually. I unzipped one of the TWRP backup archives (data.ext3.win001 or something like that) and found the folder com.samsung.android.snote in there with the .SPD files inside.
However, the .SPD files actually appear as folders on my Mac, not as zip archives as they should be. Something must've gotten mixed up in the TWRP backup. They contain all the appropriate files, and they are of the appropriate size, so I thought I'd zip them on my computer, change the file extension and put them on the SD card and back into the phone to be imported into S Note. However, S Note says "Invalid file format" when I tried to open them.
Does anyone have an idea about how S Note files work, and how they can be correctly zipped, give that I have all the correct contents? I know it's a long shot, but any assistance would be welcome! Cheers!
