After testing a Hero rom and unhappy I decided to restore my nanroid backup.
Upon doing so the apps were missing but said they were already downloaded in the market.
But the area to download or uninstall is grayed out.
I was able to restore all but a few paid apps and theyre protected and wont download with Linda file manager and other similar file managers. It recognizes the app but fails to install. Also, noticed theyre in ZIP form instead of APK.
Does anyone know how to fix this??
It happens when you did the Nandroid restore and the corresponding apks were not in your /data/app folder. You could try finding the files and pushing them to your phone or try wiping, reflashing and reinstalling all those apks and THEN doing the nandroid restore. Hope that helps and I'm sure there is a better way.

If I were to find the files how do I push them to where they belong?
If we were to delete the ATT apps with TiBackup, couldn't we sideload them back on (for god knows what reason?) ?
Yup! I did it when I thought removing an AT&T app had screwed up my WiFi, but the problem was something else, so then I took it off again (once put on manually, you can take it off again using the settings screen).
Yeah, if you can find the .apk file, then you can install it. Or if you backed them up with Titanium Backup, you can reinstall them that way.

This is not correct. Titanium backup does not backup the .apk file of system apps. However, you can find the .apk elsewhere and install with no problems.
AT&T is more than happy to provide you with their "Pay Us" apps. You can get all the AT&T apps from their website.
( i feel dirty typing "media net" )

Doesnt Titanium Backup backup the apk's and put them in a .tar.gz file?
If those arent the apk's in those .tar.gz files, whats in them? and what good are they and what good is it to backup your apps with Titanium Backup?
Hi All
I have a question about doing a CWM nandroid backup.
When it is backing up it appears to be backing up a lot of files called thumbnail_photo_ - however I have no idea where they are - there are 1000's of them!!
I want to go delete them but I can't see them anywhere through es file explorer
All help gratefully received.

I hope it is the right forum to ask.
I've just flashed my GS2 to JB 4.1.2 and Rooted.
Before that I made a mistake and backup my files with Go backup pro.
Now I can't restored because it is not find my backup files on the path..
I have searched in your forum vertically and horizontally and I found some thread about this problem but without a solution.
Could someone please advice me how to restore my files back?
Thank you very much.
Tomer.

I also backup my files using Go Backup pro. The backups by default are in external sdcard ( sdcard1). After flashing a rom you reinstall Gobackup Pro from Play Store. Launch the app and you will see the two tabs onscreen : backup tab and restore tab. Just click the restore tab and you see a prompt showing all backup files. Choose the latest files and click restore.

I tried it and still I don't have any backups on screen.. :crying:
See which storage has been set as default. ( under settings - storage)
If you backed up to SD and now internal memory is made as default, it won't show the files. (as it searches only internal memory)

Thank you for your answer.
I did backup on the SD card.
I did check and both shows no backup..
GoBackup doesnt recognize old backup files problem solved!
OK...got something for all of u punks like me out there. After installing new ROM i couldn't restore my backuped upfiles with GoBackup coz app couldn't recognize or find old backup files. I really had some important stuff there and wasn't intending to just give up. I have read many forums but everyone said to just give it up and forget it. Said hell no! So after few days of trying (reinstalling rom,gobackup,deleting caches and god knows what else i have tried) i came a cross of this lame idea . I actually opened GoBackup files on my GoogleDrive(so.... i had backup but app couldn't find it or recognize it to be able to restore it) and checked what i had installed. Made a list and installed all apps i had when i was making backup. Then i installed apps and made backup via gobackup. And here it goes... i copyed old backup files in latest backup directory , renamed old backup files using names from new files. So u get your old backup using file names of latest backup. Now app will recognize your old backup coz u renamed them. App thinks your old backup is actually latest backup. U just go into app and restore your things.
So:
1.Check out your GoBackup directory where u have your backup files (which after rooting app doesn't find or recognize) and make a list of apps u wanna restore
2.Install apps from your list
3.Make new backup of all apps u wanna restore later(old ones u had installed)
4.Now open backed up files that u wanna restore and open latest backup directory and rename old files using names from new backup files.
5.After renaming old backup files, move them into latest backup directory replacing latest backup files with renamed ones.
6.Go to GoBackup app and make restore of latest backup which is actually old one .
Found an easy solution
1. Connect your phone via cable.
2. Open SD card, locate GOBackup folder and press copy.
3. Go to local memory and press paste.
Now open GOBackup on your device, and its a miracle, all your backup there
So I have 3 backups saved and I want to delete them to free up space. They are there in TWRP when I go to restore them but I can not find them in file explorer to delete them. I've checked all files and they're not there. How else can I access them and why are they not showing up now?

Hi @bricktm7
This is a protected section of the recovery. Ultimately if you delete the TWRP folder, the backups will be deleted from your device as I have done this before. But in previous times people often had access to the backups via a file manager. TWRP updated with this new mode where backups would be hidden in a file manager for security purposes and maybe to stop you from accidentally deleting them.
If you wish to see the files. You can turn on "Show hidden files and folders", this may show the backups (I am not %100 sure on this but you can try it). But if you wish to delete them. I recommend you go into Recovery Mode, and delete it from the Backup/Restore section.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask and if you couldn't understand me - Let me know and I'll try to simplify it.
