Just cut the clockworkmod folder from the internal storage. Then if you Need to restore just drop it back
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reginald476:
I have had to do this as well. I keep my nandroid and TiBu files on my PC between ROM updates.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpo1956:
Sorry, but I never thought about this before. If I delete the CWM folder from my tablet, it will remain in my tablet folder on my PC? Then, if I need to do a restore, I can just connect to the PC and add it back to my tablet and restore? Is this correct?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
No. Plug your tablet in

Open Nexus 7

Internal storage

Copy the folder clockworkmod to a place on your pc

Once complete delete it from internal storage

If you need to restore

Plug in

Open Nexus 7

Internal storage

Copy clockworkmod folder back from pc to internal storage

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjolniir:
I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have been searching and I cant find the answer. My problem is simple. The clockworkmod folder simply does not show up on my PC. The directories that show are the ones for my apps etc, and I can't seem to dig deeper than that. On my Nexus 7 I can browse right to the backups, but I cannot access them from the PC. I have no clue why. I successfully rooted 4.2.2 yesterday and everything else I've done has worked fine, but I can only access the clockworkmod folder from the Nexus 7 itself or from the adb shell on the PC (but I have no idea if I can use the shell to move the backup file to the PC or not).

So in short, I have no idea what to do. I recognize that I am a noob here, but I have done my homework searching for this particular issue and I haven't been able to find anything resembling a solution.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfudude:
The pathway for nandroid backup is not /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/sdcard0 or /sdcard

It's somewhere else, but I'm not sure exactly where. Download a root file manager like root explorer then search.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjolniir:
Thanks, I have been using the one that comes with ROM Toolbox. The path is data/media/clockworkmod but the problem is I can't access that from the PC. When I try to copy or move the backup file to a directory that I can reach from the PC, It fails. I just get a message saying copy failed or move failed and thats it. That happens with both ES file Explorer and the ROM Toolbox root file explorer. I can see the files just fine and they also appear to have read, write and execute permissions.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong as a user with these apps that I am not being allowed to copy or move these files.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjolniir:
OK, something occurred to me right after writing that reply. I have been trying to copy the whole folder containing the backup files instead of just copying the files themselves. So I went in one level deeper and selected all the individual backup files and was able to copy/paste them into a directory my PC can see and was able to copy them from there onto my PC hard drive. So problem solved I guess.

Difficult to transfer Nandroid to Win8 PC

I have spent the morning trying to find a certain way to transfer my TWRP folders/files to a Windows 8 PC, without luck:

If anyone knows of a simple way to do this please chip in.

Luckily I have an iMac which allows easy transfer from a Nexus device, so I was able to copy TWRP to the iMac and from there to a 32GB Flash drive, then carry that to the Win8 for copying. Not exactly what one would hope for in 2013.. but it works.

I looked at pulling TWRP using WUGfresh and a Nexus Toolkit and think myself lucky not to have ended up with a brick.

Any links to Howto for Windows 8 much appreciated

Mvh
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholi2789:
So it's okay to just copy the backup itself to the computer desktop, then when I need it, transfer it back? I've been just going in to the CWM folder and copying the folder directly to my desktop. So if I need to I can just copy it back provided I put in the same folder?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
of course....why would it NOT be ok?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholi2789:
Well, I just wasn't sure if in the process of being transferred that windows might alter it somehow. I just transferred my Nandroid to my computer, deleted it off my phone, then transferred it back and booted into CWM. I went to restore just to see if it would show up and it did just fine.

I just wasn't 100% sure about it. It just seems too easy... lol. I have Nandroids of quite a few different Rom setups on my computer, I just never had to restore them yet. So hypothetically, if you had the storage space, you could take a Nandroid of every Rom setup you've had and be able to revert to them anytime?

I saw some video guides of people using Adb to transfer to their computers and wondered why they didn't just copy and paste it. I thought there must be a reason. I'm still relatively new to this (only been a few months since my first flash), so I'm still learning.

---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

And what would the advantage of doing it through adb pull command instead of just simply copying it to the desktop? Is it safer or what? That's why I wonder if doing it this way is safe, when everyone else does adb commands...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
If you are using cwm, the backups are not user accessible and do not show up under /sdcard, and the only way of accessing them is with ROM manager or with a root explorer... Which makes it hard to transfer back and forth from a computer. If you use adb you will be able to pull everything available under /data/media
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholi2789:
That's weird... The backups show up on my computer.... I just plug in and open my phone through my computer, then I go to the CWM folder and drag and drop it to the desktop. Usually takes about ten minutes to transfer because my nandroids are huge (2.2 gb). That easy. I now have transferred it to the computer and then transferred it back to my ext SD card and used it to successfully restore. Did it yesterday.

That's weird. I wonder why it would show up on my computer and not everyone else's?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Depends on what version you are on

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholi2789:
Well i guess on windows 7/Beams build 15 it's visible.... But even when I still had the stock Jellybean Rom I was able to transfer my backups no problem...

In any event, I should probably get more familiar with adb so i am able to transfer that way or restore if I get bricked somehow... Adb is just so complicated to me though. I've read countless threads and other how tos, but i'm still hesitant to try anything serious. It's friggen intimidating. I have the toolkit installed and the path all set up on my computer and everything, I just haven't done much with it yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
not your version of windows OR ROM.

are you on 4.2.2 with latest CWM?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholi2789:
I'm on 4.1.2., with Clockwork Mod touch recovery 6.0.2.3
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
That's why.

with 4.2.+ and the new file structure of /data/media/0 (and all of its symlinks), CWM moved the nandroids to /data/media/clockworkmod or /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod (symlinks abound)

what you see when you connect a 4.2.+ device to a computer is /data/media/0 and all of its subsequent folders...you never see anything above or at the same level as the 0 folder.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholi2789:

This is a noob question but i just rooted my phone yesterday and have been trying out different roms.

I am going to upgrade to the galaxy sIII soon but when i go into the sprint store to turn in my phone it needs to be unrooted and everything.

I dont know how to unroot it or put it back to normal so they could never tell that i had done anything with the phone i forgot to backup the phone.

HBOOT 2.8 With S-OFF but it still say's i have S-ON

i just put Smelkus Amon Ra-Supersonic-4.3 recovery on it.

But its HTCEVOHACKS Guide for people that need to root HBOOT-2.18.0001
[EVO 4G General] Magnum_Enforcer:
Probably the easiest thing to do is follow the instructions on how to downgrade your Hboot and just leave it at that. You'll lose root and have s-on, and you'll also get rid of the watermark in the bootloader screen that indicates that it's unlocked. Follow the steps in this guide to downgrade your Hboot:

What is the difference between S-ON and S-OFF?

Also where can i get the default rom for my phone for when i turn it back in to upgrade.

Or when i unroot my phone and downgrade my hboot will it set it all back to normal?

and thank you for the help i appreciate it.
[EVO 4G General] Magnum_Enforcer:
Essentially, s-on is "security on", and vice-versa. Having s-off allows you the ability to flash things like radios to your phone. As far as the stock ROM, there are links to two different stock Sprint ROM's (sometimes also referred to as RUU or ROM Upgrade Utilities) in that thread I linked you to. Just pick one. Since you won't be rooting it again it won't matter, and a Sprint rep won't know that the ROM on your phone isn't the one it came with to begin with.

[EVO 4G General] Pre-dawn raid:
No it's not permanent. You can root again after unrooting. A lot of people will unroot to take their phone in for service or warranty claims and then root it again after it's fixed.

Forgive my bluntness, but, "Are you nuts?"

You're going camping, you may not have signal, we all know the GPS performance of the hardware is marginal and that GPS drains battery, and your safety may depend on your GPS and/or phone?

Go to REI or whatever your local camping equipment store is and buy a real GPS designed for off-road camping use and save your phone battery for an emergency.

I recently ordered an Xperia Play.. It was advertised as Unlocked and able to work on my Local Canada Koodo Network, all i needed to do was put my SIM in and play.

Error-- this was not the case, turns out it is an international phone and it will not work on any of the local carriers services.. not Rogers, not Bell, Wind, Koodo Nothing :(

Is there ANYTHING I can do to change this and make it work -- Flash - Root - Anything\

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Well which xperia play is it? Is it R800x, R800a, R800at, R800i. If you have the international xperia play it is a GSM xperia play and it should work with your GSM carriers. Are you sure you dont have the CDMA xperia play? Otherwise more info would be appreciated and no you cant change frequencies that are made by the manufacturer.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
Seems you may have a R800x. That version only works with CDMA networks and was exclusively for Verizon.

Other international versions should work fine in GSM networks.

The phone itself shows r800i - it has a slot for a sim under my memory card space.

It is not accepting anything...

Am i in luck at all?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
R800i should work with your local gsm carriers by inserting the slim card. Otherwise i think your sim slot is locked to a specific gsm carrier. You have to pay for a service to unlock your sim slot. But if you do have a cdma you cant change it to gsm.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_FUZE:
Hello

I just got my Lumia 900, I use Windows Mobile for years, I feel a bit uncomfortable on WP7, I have a few questions:

1. How to sign out Windows Live? I don't want to sign in all the time, it waste data and battery. I know I can just turn off data, but sometimes I want to leave data on for other program.

2. How to know the phone is using data? On WM you see small 3G appears with signal bar, on Android you see 3G appears with up/down arrow. On WP7, I did not see any changes on upper indication area when I am using data.

3. How to lock the orientation of phone dialer? When I hang up the phone, the phone tilt a little bit and cause the dialer window rotates; so, can I lock it?

I wish someone could give answers. Thanks!

Edit1:

Q1 is answerd

Q2: I observed the phone behaviour. It shows 4G when I turn on the data, and sometimes it shows LTE. I assume when it shows LTE, it is using data. Maybe I am wrong.

Q3: Orientation Lock can only be installed for unlocked Lumia 900. so it seems mission impossible by now.

Some new questions:

Q4: Multi tasking: When I download some big files from internet, while I am waiting, I start to open another app. It seems the download is paused. This is very annoying. I cannot wait for hours to use the phone until the download completes

Q5: How to exit IE quickly? If I browsed 50 pages, looks like I have to press "BACK" for 50 times to exit IE......

Q6: Real time battery percent indication on live tiles? Tried to search the market but no success.

Q7: Can the upper status bar(Battery status/signal bar, etc.) fix on the screen?

Q8: How to set IE home page??
