It's /data/data/com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup/files/onandroid on my S5 ... if you don't have this folder, Online Nandroid Backup is installed in a different folder on your phone.

I regret that you have to search for the corresponding app folder on your device yourself.

Hey guys I'm aware of the bug with new version of the script and the app and am working on fixing it.
[Android Apps and Games] efevelasquez:
Actually it is under /data/data/com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup/files

Hope you make it. I did it.
[Android Apps and Games] master64nl:
The zip file has also a few folders. Do you put the whole folder in it of one file from a folder?

Even than I can find this: /data/data/com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup/files on my S4
[Android Apps and Games] efevelasquez:
Did you find the directory? If it yes, don't flash the zip... it won't work. Just unzip the "onandroid" file (located in system/bin in the zip file) and copy it to the directory mentioned above. Change permissions to rwrwrw, reboot and that's it. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
I use TWRP Recovery, so TWRP/Normal. The other partition files are readable, just not the data one. Note this is in the explore tab. If I go to the Restore tab and choose "Restore Apps + Data" - it can read the file fine, apparently, just takes a lot longer than the explore tab, if you are looking for a certain app.

Problem with the app's loading not terminating normally

I searched the forum for 'loading' and no one else has reported this. This is with v4.3.1.

When the app downloads (for example, from the Play Store) the loading progress bar 'hangs' at 95%, while the OS goes on to report "Installation Complete". Also, the download icon persists in the Tray and only a reboot gets rid of it.

The first time this happened, I deleted the app and repeated the process. This one time the download terminated normally, but I haven't been able to duplicate this, since. I've never before seen this kind of behavior with any other app that's been downloaded to this phone.

:confused:Can anyone else duplicate this abnormal loading behavior, and does it mean the installation may be defective?

The app also is making 'one-second' backups -- in other words, it's failing to write the file. Don't know if this is the 'bug' that's been acknowledged, or if I'm not getting a proper installation.
[Android Apps and Games] Qhel0:
9.50 script seems good too

[MENTION=805363]H3R371C[/MENTION]

I had the same "exitcode [2]" problem with 9.50 both running from the app AND the command line so I got in contact with Ameer thinking of a script problem. After extracting the 9.20 (successfully, as others already did) I also tried the 9.50 and it worked too!

So it seems something related to the 9.50 script coming from the app, but not to the script content since the two are (obviously?) identical! :confused:

This is what I see in rootexplorer.. ('new' is the manually extracted, 'old' is the one coming with the app). The difference in bytes is due to the CR+LF in the 'old' and the LF in the 'new'.

Save Location

Hi,

Nandroid Backup is a great util which has been working until recently.

When choosing Custom Backup -> Save Location none of the path e.g. /sdcard ; /mnt/sdcard .. and so on is not working. The partition however is seen. The APP stops very quickly writing only few files.

Filed a bug report! Hope this can be fixed.

Cheers

Problems with scheduled backup

I use Online Nandroid Backup and have tried to use scheduled backup but it wont work, means nothing starts. I have a Motorola Defy using CM11. Quick Backup and Custom Backup works as requested. Shouldn't the app be active the whole time (means under settings -> apps -> active apps), so it can start the scheduled backup at the requested time/date? Any suggestions? Btw. I had to replace the script v9.5 with v9.2 manually because it didn't work at all with the build-in script.

Actually I think the permissions are rwx rwx rwx
[Android Apps and Games] efevelasquez:

[Android Apps and Games] fatspirit:
About slowness: is it app's fault or scripts? 39 mins vs 447 secs in recovery - that's wierd.
[Android Apps and Games] Master Cylinder:
You better test that backup - I'd make a backup the normal way first. Every time that's happened to me that meant that my phone would boot into original setup mode, with no settings at all. Were you using TWRP and do you have 2 /data archives? If so, I bet it won't give you what you're looking for in a nandroid. This is why I ain't using ONB at the moment.

[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
Thanks :highfive:

Can confirm that it's working now.

Updated Online Nandroid Backup app via Play store, re-downloaded the patch (v9.5) for my device and backup is working fine :good:

BTW, what's about the phone's timezone which I selected for naming the backup, but on my phone (SM-G900F, stock Android 4.4.2) UTC is always used.

It's not an urgent issue, as I can easily rename the backup manually afterwards ... but I found other users reporting the same issue in this thread ... and no answer yet.

(On my "old" S2 with stock Android 4.1.2 phone's timezone works fine. So only some devices are affected.)

[Android Apps and Games] SteStanich:
Hi all,

tested this app backing up to external sd and works flawlessly, great job, thanks!

a question: if I connect my S3 to pc by USB cable, can I backup directly on PC? which option should I choose?

I think that moving backup from storage to PC will cause an MD5 sums mismatch and I won't be able to restore.

thank you

:thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
...?!? Why do you think, moving the backup zip will destroy the md5?!? I never made such an experience...

[Android Apps and Games] SteStanich:
Well, happy to know I'm wrong! I use philz touch and always backup to sd. Once I moved it to pc to format sd, then moved back and when i restored it said md5 sum mismatch.. I'll try again later.

But can I backup to pc directly?

Error: mkyaffs2image not found in path! Exiting ... (v_4.3.2)

I just tried the new 'bug-fix' version, since v_4.3.1 was exiting not only before writing a backup image, but also before making a log entry.

This version still doesn't write an image, but at least now there is a reason, as given in the Log Viewer, noted in this post's title. This is with the second device in my signature.

I don't know if this is related, but the loading indicator still 'hangs' before it gets to 100% (see below, quote from previous post).

Now it 'hangs' at either 98% or 99%. The device still needs a reboot to get rid of the Dowload Icon in the tray area, however. I'm going to delete and reload a few more times, but after that maybe it's best to go back to v_4.3.0?

:confused: Is anyone else seeing this -- either that mkyaffs2image can't be found, or that the load doesn't go to 100%??

Previous Post:

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

Directory path and name being manually searched: /data/data/com.h3r3t31c.onanbup/files/

I am looking at this directory (and its subdirectories) to see if I can find the missing file, the one that's 'not on the path'. However, the directory itself must be on the path, since the utility's busybox installation is seen here. The log said it was both found, and was being used.

However, the file mkyaffs2image, cannot be found here. I assume this is why the backup is failing? Or, does this utility put it in another location?

:confused: Anyone have some comments on how to let the utility connect with this file??
[Android Apps and Games] MBariya:
Confirm mkyaffs2image is installed in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Belamigo:

I'm having a problem making a nandroid on my Moto G, works fine on my N7 2013 but the Moto G never seems to end the backup, it has like 15mins elapsed time and no end in sight (nandroid in recovery mode takes 5 mins), the N7 backups in around 4 mins. both devices have the same amount of space used.
[Android Apps and Games] Master Cylinder:
Yep, also on version 4.3.2, TWRP is a no go. This app and/or script do not seem to be able to function with TWRP. I had it working for a little while on the previous versions, but no more.:mad:

Hey, will this work on a phone which doesn't have a custom recovery? I recently rooted my s5 with the towel root and don't want to trigger knox but would love to have nan droid backups.

You can makes backup's but without a custom recovery there is no way to restore them.

Awesome! My worked great - for awhile. Can't explain why it doesn't anymore. Doesn't matter which script I use. It worked on 2.6.3.1, then it didn't. Then it worked on 2.7.1, then it didn't.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
The recovery has no influence on the backup making. You can make a TWRP backup while having CWM installed or the other way around.
[Android Apps and Games] ameer1234567890:

Edit: Was the last email I sent you everything that you needed?
[Android Apps and Games] Master Cylinder:
That's interesting ... but it turns out it doesn't help me very much. I made an ONB backup using CWM mode though I have TWRP and it worked - it backed up in about 7 minutes and it was all there.

However, restoring was a problem. 1: TWRP doesn't give you a way to navigate out of it's default folder, so I had to copy it to the from the Clockworkmod folder to the TWRP one. 2. It wouldn't restore because the naming conventions were different, so I changed the names to reflect the TWRP one. 3. It seemed to restore successfully then but would not actually boot - got hung up.

So, I've tried 40 different things to get it to work but no luck so far. The reason I've been so determined is because IT WORKED! at first, with compression, then not, then without compression, then not, then on the new version of TWRP, then not... Now it's just "not."

I used to think others complaining about this problem must've been doing something wrong or just had bad luck. It works with CWM or Philz, at least a couple of times, which is no guarantee that it will continue to work in my experience. Plus, I don't wanna use those.

So, I'm done for now.

is it possible to make a backup and restore again later with this method without knox getting triggered?

sry cant post direct link
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
No too really restore a nandroid you will need a custom recovery, and flashing that will trigger knox.

That tutorial you linked to is misleading to say the least. It gives the impression you can restore a full nandroid using nandroid manager while in fact you can only (if you are lucky) restore apps and there settings and thing like text messages that way. You can't restore the OS itself.

And even to do that you will need to be rooted, and even that is likely to trigger knox.

Many are having problems with TWRP.

nybody have issues with android secure partition not backing up?

i experience this from 4.2.3 above (9.20 and 9.50), in 4.2.2 (9.20) i'm not experiencing any problems. i tried changing ash shell to default shell but none of it solved it, tried any backup type, and also tried selective with only android secured selected but only recovery.log that is 4kb appeared and the nandroid.md5.

Rebooting to cwm and making the backup there was successful.

i posted this problem about 2 times already, and [MENTION=4228840]iscio[/MENTION] also had this problem similar/same to mine. please fix this. what can i provide to help in fixing the bug. Thank you.

Edit: i also experience this with JB and KK. really not the rom problem, it's the app i'm afraid. i also have the correct patch to my device, busybox set to user busybox from app, and mkyaffsimage installed through app. and currently on 9.50 onandroid script version.

Hi

I have a problem to share. I made my backup through this app and I have philz recovery. Both recovery and apps are latest.

Backup completely successfully and the data partition was about 3.4 gb in size.

Anyways had some problem after few hours so restored it in recovery, restoring data failed error almost in the end everytime. I tried few times but to no avail, same error every time. I spend hours setting up things again and then later just to try I restored the same backup again and even after the error I simply rebooted and all worked fine.

So my question is why that error when everything was fine. I am a little worried about taking a backup again using this app even though I love this app.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
I've pretty much lost faith in ONB - I use TWRP as well, and my last three full restore attempts basically resulted in OS only restores, so essentially starting from scratch. Normal TWRP initiated backups restore fully, as expected.

It may be a ONB and TWRP compatibility issue as the dev stated, but I'm locked into TWRP at the moment for F2FS support. So I'm going back to the old standby of recovery based Nandroids - they work every time.
