Please kindly inform the developers to remake TWRP to allow backup of internal storage. Or inform how to back up internal storage within 50-60 minutes on a PC and how. And how to restore this backup from PC. It would be better to rebuild TWRP. Thanks for the help
Search it on Internet. you have changes to find it out.

I posted a question days ago but no replies , so can you help me with some questions please.
I am total newbie ; and I just rooted my Indian moto g dual Sim phone successfully with flagging cwm recovery.
But then I saw in storage->miscellaneous > 1.8 GB taken by cwm. CAN I DELETE IT ?
ALSO I took nandroid backup on SD card , is it necessary to keep that backup always on SD card in case device fails ?
Can you suggest me some method by which I can keep my game data and heavy files on USB storage (OTG).
Also should I take any other backups ?

Not sure about storage>miscellaneous but what i did is copied backup i took with CWM into PC and also kept on SDcard, only coz i do tests on mobile now days, so most of time i need to restore it. To save space on SDcard copy that backup to pc, you can delete the backup you took with CWM from SDcard and can copy it back when needed. i'm not sure about game backup but i believe there must be in device built-in/default backup app, with that you can take backup of individual app or phone too. but again not sure, it take backup of save game too.
i shared what i think could help you little & I hope, it will at-least give you little idea about what to do/search. wait for more replies or search.
Hello, I have a few questions regarding the TWRP recovery particularly the NANDroid backups, please bear with me as I am new to this. I have made a few backups using twrp but I want to put them onto my pc in order to save space however when I plug my phone into my pc I don’t see the TWRP folder unless I boot into recovery and then plug it in. Is this how it is supposed to be?
I wanted to test out restoring a backup that I had saved onto my pc onto my device. To test this out I created a backup through TWRP booted into recovery plugged in my device into my computer copied the backup file located in the TWRP folder and then deleted it from my device. Next I wanted to copy the backup that I just put on my pc back onto my phone and then eventually restore it through TWRP. However I only get as far as copying it from my device onto my pc. When I try to copy it back into the TWRP folder on my device I get an error saying “cannot copy data.ext4.win000 its file size is larger than the device limit” The backup is 4.83gb and I have 10.7gb free. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Last question, seeing as a NanDroid backup is basically an image of your whole device, let’s say I am selling my device and I don’t want the buyer to have any way of accessing any of my data. Would the deletion of my backups, factory reset and an advanced wipe where I select all the partitions to be wiped be enough?
Thank you in advance for your help!
1 - no. You're on lollipop i presume. Read my /sdcard thread in general
2 - sounds like its being mounted as FAT with 4GB file limit. Try web push method
3 - not really. You'd be best overwriting the data partition with files first.
Hi all, this is the situation.
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 i9300. I installed CWM and the recovery, bboted into recovery and took an entire system backup.
also i took a backup in Titanium backup root.
Now i wanted to install cutom ROM. i downloaded the ROM from PC and copied the zip files into my sd card which has 29gb of space free.
I should have read properly, but i dont know why i missed it, i didnt copy the zip in the legacy or obb file folder. i deleted all system data, and now i dont know how to go back to normal. and the Phone doesnt seem to charge!
Please help me!! i know i sound paranoid and i am. its my first time to this (obvious from my stupidty) and i dont want to brick my phone
Also the phone doesnt seem to be charging. it has just 70% battery.
How do i recover the system data and files??

Hi,
Today i wanted to install Sultanxda CM13, so I carefully wiped only data, system, cache, dalvik cache & ART in Multirom-TWRP 3.0.0 after taking backups in Titanium Backup & nandroid backups. Then I went to wipe>advanced wipe>ticked system>fs options>change fs>selected f2fs & swiped . Same I did for data & cache (formatted only /data, /system & /cache). After that, when I when I went to install zip, MY INTERNAL STORAGE WAS EMPTY! (Also, 54GB space remaining in internal storage) :crying::crying::crying::crying:: OH DAMN S**T . I am very very sure I didnt wipe or format Internal Storage. And now my whole internal storage is gone (IT HAD VERY VERY IMPORTANT VIDEOS, PHOTOS & DOCUMENTS).
SO PLEASE HELP ME IN RECOVERING THE FILES. And curse you TWRP 3.0.0!
EDIT 1: I just saw this xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705. But it needs ADB & root access, and I dont have OS. Installing OS isnt a problem or me, but if I install OS, some files would be written on data partition, and that would decrease the chances of file recovery. So any way to access root & adb without OS? @DaxNagtegaal and other people can you please help?
EDIT 2: I tried to use root in adb (in TWRP), but it doesnt work. So I installed COS12.1 YOG7DAS2K1-signed flashable zip & SUperSU 2.65 as a last resort in TWRP, booted it, skipped any data restore (to do it later), installed busybox and now I am trying the long-method given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705 (Now I am making .raw file of the internal storage block through adb). (It seems its gonna take about 8 hours to completely make the vhd file).
Buy an otg cable download a rom on your pc,transfer it to your pc and voila else you can also buy a usb which can be plug directly in your mobile.i think you will be able to recover some file because rom won't take over 54gb.
Please read properly. I installed COS 12.1 YOG7DAS2K1 as a last resort. Now I am trying to recover the data.
I don't think you will be able to recover all the files but atleast some will be recoverable as rom won't take over all space,how many files were there?which files were valuable to you? it its photos?as i once lost my pictures since then im using google photos!
Yup, many pics, some documents, some text files (in which I save all my passwords, usernames, etc) & videos (also game data ).
ah ok i feel you mate,now when you are up and running just use google photos for pictures and googledrive or dropbox for your important files,atleast you know you will be safe if ever you encounter any issue.
Try " delete " like recovery app .once i tried and recover nearly 500 photos but i hadn't try to recover files .
If you change data to f2fs this will wipe your internal storage. Just do a backup next time and inform you more.
Hei guys, I own a Chinese handphone. Tweaked it so much, soft bricked it numerous times, but I got the stock rom at my disposal anyway so it doesn't matter much. It's cheap so I can actually do some experiments or tested non Play Store, or even suspicious apps on it.
However, going back and forth to stock then reconfigure everything is rather tedious task to do.
I did installed a CWM recovery and did a full nandroid backup. But it's seem that CWM backup didn't overwrite the old one so when I do a second one it failed, saying I'm out of space? I still got about 2 GB on internal storage, and 8 GB on external storage. It's said my folder (I forgot which, it's /data if I'm not mistaken) don't have space left. This is one funny thing about my phone, it doesn't use the internal storage at all. I cannot move the apps to the internal storage as well, only to the external SD card.
I'm out of space probably also because I move so many app as system. This way when I do a factory reset I got all my updated apps within, without the need to reinstall it.
So, the questions :
Is there any way to make CWM to actually update a backup, instead of creating a new one? Which partition I should wipe from CWM if I want to create an updated backup? It is convenient to do the restore directly from CWM, but I cannot update the backup, with that space problem.
How about creating a full custom ROM flashable image of my phone on which I can save to my PC instead?
How about going on fetching the nandroid backup CWM generated? Is it flashable using SP Tool? But I can't find the files anywhere in my system.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Found some stuffs on CWM backup.
I'll update this thread when I've worked it out.
I'm an idiot. I can actually save the CWM backup into the internal SD. It's visible on any file manager within the folder "clockworkmod".
Sorry I did have experience with CWM, but never use it for backup, only to flash patches.
