Backup files not open - General Questions and Answers

Hi I make backup in my p30 pro it's shows as done then I tried to restore it but system shows there is no backup file so I open file app I see pics and videos with full size but if I tried to open it show me not supported.. How can I open pics?

If you can't open your backup file that means it is corrupted. And all you need to do, just repair/recover it by using third party software tool. It will surely help you.

What method did you use to backup?
If you used ADB then you must know the backup created is a TAR archive what you only can open by TAR.

[GUIDE] How to extract Clockworkmod Images

As it seems to be a fairly common question, here is a guide on how to extract your clockworkmod recovery images.
This can come handy if you only want to extract certain apps, or files.
Put your Clockworkmod images in a folder on your computer.
Download this and put it in there, too.
Extract it in there.
Open a cmd-prompt in this folder.
Use this command to extract your data:
Code:
unyaffs.exe img_name_to_extract.img
Wait. the tool will display "end of image" when it is done.
Done. The data should be in the same directory as the tool is.
If you want to restore your contacts:
Extract the data.img
Your contacts will be in:
Code:
\data\com.android.providers.contacts\databases
I have not written the program used in this guide, just found it on my harddrive.
thanks much. so helpful
helped me to pull out contacts
I first had to download and install cgwin1.dll from here http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?cygwin1 and place it in the windows directory to get this to work. But after proceeding I get a "broken image file" when trying this on recovery.img and same thing with boot.img.
I am simply trying to recover some data from this nandroid backup specifically pictures in the sdcard/DCIM directory but I have no idea where it is. Is it located somewhere in the data.ext4.rar or system.ext4.rar files? If so I have looked through those and could not find a DCIM directory of any kind. Would anyone be kind enough to direct me?
Thanks

You won't be able to do that. The recovery does not backup the sdcard.

[Q] NEED Tool for App GUID and App Name extractor to xml or txt

Hi everyone. I always flash new ROMS when they are released, for my Omnia 7
1. May I ask what method you use to backup,(fastest and not App Backup tools which backups everything which is a tedious process)
2. Can a developer develop a tool please!(or hopefully it exists already), which can extract the list of all your apps in your phone including sideloaded ones, so that I can redownload them by going through the list of the apps that I previously had before flashing another ROM.
(for your info, how I plan to back the phone: Extract the app details (GUID and NAME) to .xml or .txt file for reference (in the FORMAT: Name:WhatsApp GUID:218a0ebb-1585-4c7e-a9ec-054cf4569a79) (NOT THE DATA BACKUP. JUST THE NAME OF THE APP AND THE GUID OR APP ID FOR SEARCHING AND RESTORING)
Then I will backup all app data with WPV app backup or Windows phone device manager >>> flash rom>>>> Look at extracted list above(hopefully with a software that exists already to extract in that format) >>>>>>>> Install apps manually once again from market or sideload >>>>> Lastly, restore the app data manually.
Please help! Thanks all!

[Q] Why there is no any tool for capturing system image?

I have been searching for long time, just trying to find a tool to make a system image after all needed apps are installed. like imagex, Ghost, Acronis or clonzila on Windows, so i can use that image to restore into other device.
I dont want to install all apps on over 50+ android devices (MK902) over and over again......so there must be something i can use to load a rooted .img file with all configured apps....
the .img file can be loaded by using RK Batch tool, but how to make a .img file with all apps installed?
Anyone has any idea?
as far as i know, there is no such software that does that. only way i know is to make a disk image of the partition using DD command in linux or using Roadkill (link is from my own backup) to make a copy of the whole partition table of your phone while it is on download mode.

TWRP to IMG

Hi
I made a back up using TWRP and noticed it created a load of files in a backup folder.
I tried to restore on a different box but it will not find the backup files, which I think has something to do with the serial number created with the first box, is there a way to convert these files to an img file so I could use USB burning tool.
Thanks

How do I manually extract the backups I made using TWRP?

Hello,
In the ROM'ing journey, I backed up everything using TWRP on a OnePlus6.
I have all the files shown below here, but I am not sure how do you view them on the PC, as in what tool do I use? Using a archive tool doesn't work, from what I can see there are multiple part files and the archive tool doesn't seem to detect it.
I basically just want my DCIM, and Audio recordings out of it as of now.
rename data.ext4.win files to tar (or tar.gz) and open with 7-zip. these files aren't multiple part files. open each file on its own.
pictures are in data/media/0/DCIM/Camera and therefore not included in TWRP backup.
Oh, I see. Never thought they wouldn't be included by default, I thought backing up backs up absolutely everything
there's a warning on phone screen
also in documention
