I have a HONOR VIEW 10.
On December 2018, I installed "Unofficial TWRP 3.2.1-0 / twrp_bkl_0.7.img" and it works perfectly.
During 2 years, I created many backups on my sd card.
Today I installed twrp-3.4.0-0-berkeley.img
If I try to make a backup on my sd card, I received the message
Cannot create "/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/...." folder (Permission denied)
Failed to make backup folder
What should I do ? Thank you for your help

I get this error.
"can't mount backup path"
lg optimus 3g p925g
rom manager premium 4.8.0.7. only version that has my phone listed.
tried reinstalling still doesn't work.
can't find an answer on google.
Can not find the path to the backup file, if you're wiping the contents of Memory card may have deleted the backup. It is located in the folder Clockworkmod / backup to sd card.
I recently unlocked, rooted, and installed CWM on my GS3. I then created a nandroid backup of my system, and flashed Cyanogenmod. I tried to flash the nandroid backup, but after clicking on "backup/restore > restore" (which should be the internal sd where I saved the nandroid) I get this:
"Couldn't open Directory. No files found."
I can see the nandroid backup in the clockworkmod / backups folder on my internal sd card from file manager as well as android file transfer. Yet CWM will not recognize it. Anyone have experience with a similar issue?
Thanks.
hello guys,
i have a problem with restoring my nandroid backup.
so the digitzer of my s3 mini is broken and does not work partially. e.g. i cant enter my pin to unlock screen lock and i cant use twrp. so i used cwm (i guess it was 6.0.2.8.) to backup everything to my ext sd card. i dont know exactly if the backup was successfull but i cant remember any error messages and my backup is about 3,5gb big and there r following files:
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
cache.ext4.tar.a
data.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar.a
data.ext4.tar.b
data.ext4.tar.c
data.ext4.tar.d
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
system.ext4.tar.a
now i wanted to restore only data on a new device: moto g peregrine via cwm. i installed cm12.1 on my moto, the backup comes from cm12.1 too.
error: md5 checksum mismatch -> i cutted nandroid.md5 and created an empty file named nandroid.md5 and copied it into the backup folder. then cwm restored. well... it says it was restored. but when i start android no data is restored.
so i tried to restore it via tatanium backup. this app finds my backup, but only system apps r listed. no user apps. (i just tried it again, no apps at all)
then i tried to open/browse the tar archives with a shell extension in windows. they are empty.
then i wanted to extract them with appextractor but it doesnt find a backup to extract.
then i tried nandroid manager. it finds the backup, it says, its 3,44gb big. when i browse the data.ext4.tar its empty. then i click on restore nandroid backup. it boots into recovery but then it says:
sd card marker not found
.....
E: unknown volume for path [/mnt/sdcard1/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-01.00.00.35]
cant mount backup path
im using cwm 6.0.4.8
so can sum1 plz help how to restore it? or is it broken? is everything gone?
and another question: twrp has adb sideload-support. i could make a twrp backup via the openrecovery adb script but my internal storage has not enough space. if i could tell twrp to backup on the ext sd card perhaps it works

You can connect a USB mouse and keyboard to navigate and select whatever you need to select or do in CWM or TWRP, it will work with either recovery.
As for transferring user installed apps and their data, you can try backing them up to your google account and then restoring them from google on the new device. Or use the USB mouse/keyboard along with ES File Explorer to go to your /data/app folder and create copies of your installed apps, the backups will be in your backup/app folder on internal, copy them to PC then go your Android folder on the device and copy the app data for those apps to PC, then transfer the app copies to the internal on the new device and install them or use adb to sideload each of those apk files to the new device, then transfer the copied app data for those apps to the Android folder on the new device, then boot to recovery and wipe only cache, do not factory reset in recovery then reboot.

this presumes that i can unlock my lockscreen. doesnt it?
i will try to backup my data with cwm again. perhaps the backup is corrupted. and i will try to do an adb backup and control the phone via keyboard and mouse if i can unlock the screen and/or confirm a popup message.
can anyone say if i can make a twrp backup to my ext sd oder pc via adb shell? i know the command "twrp backup <options> <foldername>" but can i change the path where the backup will be stored?
thx for your reply

You can use adb to remove lockscreen. There's a couple different ways using adb, research them.
As for OTG capability, you can try adb side loading an app called Stickmount by Chainfire if you can find a way to enable it after installing it.

hope sum1 can help me
couple of days ago i download Cynogenmod modified rom.but its not flashable zip file.
in the installation instruction sector.. i found that its a backup file which need to place twrp backup folder.
then i went to twrp folder on sd card and saw that its totally free.there is no folder or anything named backup.
then i went to recovery mode and aslo backup my present system and data .but still there is no file name backup and twrp folder shows 0 bytes of it size.
Now what to do?? Hope u guys help me!
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.
