So OP you finally create a thread for your Online Nandroid Backup app...

This app did a great job!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] cmlusco:
App still says no partitions found. However i found out if you hit start backup, it backs up all partitions just fine. So it seems to be more of a visual glitch.
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
Ok I think I may know what the problem. It may just be an issue of miscommunication.

So when you say "Partitions now detected" are talking about the text I boxed in red in the screenshot below:

If so this text is not meant to say that partitions were not detected! its meant to say if partitions are not detected check if a device specific patch exists!
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
I have never actually backed up my rom over usb host so I don't know if it would but you can try. In the backup options check Select Backup Location and put /mnt/sdcard/UsbOtgDrives/drive_1 as your backup location.

In CWM I don't think you will be able to restore over usb host but you should be able to transfer your backup over usb to your sdcard and restore that way.

The app should automatically install the onandroid backup script. When you open the app up are you asked for superuser permission?

See my post above this one concerning the partitions not detected. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41036936&postcount=9

The app may not be asking you again for superuser permission again because it may still have superuser permission from the first time or your superuser setting may be that it only asks you one time for superuser permission once and if you let it have superuser permission then it will automatically give superuser permission for every run after that. Does the app run correctly when superuser permission is not asked for?
[Android Apps and Games] bflmpsvz:
I have installed script for my device. Now I used different mounter which mounted to /mnt/usbdisk/clockworkmod/backup/. But ONB checks for free space on SDcard instead USB even if I backup to USB :(( I'm very low on space on SDcard, because this I need to backup on flashdrive. Could you please fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
Did you check Select Backup Location and put /mnt/usbdisk for the location in the backup options? (See screenshot im attaching for what i'm talking about. I boxed it in red)
[Android Apps and Games] bflmpsvz:
Yes I put /mnt/usbdisk/clockworkmod/backup into Select backup location

I put /mnt/usbdisk into Specify sd-ext Path

I put /mnt/usbdisk/clockworkmod into Settings>Clockworkmod Folder Location
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
No you must put only /mnt/usbdisk not the full path /mnt/usbdisk/clockworkmod/backup
[Android Apps and Games] bflmpsvz:
Ah yes, I'll try. After checking Specify Ext SD card and filling in path ONB seems to run now :good:
[Android Apps and Games] cmlusco:
Thats exactly what it shows. But if you hit start backup, it still backs up everything just fine. I see now its more of a question than a statement.
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
Ok I'm going to change the text so it's less confusing. I'm publishing a new build to the play store now!
[Android Apps and Games] tridentcore:
Did ONB backing up my MicroSD content..?

While I'm waiting ONB (Online Nandroid Backup) backing up my Stock ROM

I'm kinda confused when the log screen shows "backing up /sd-ext", my MicroSD contents being backed up or what..?

NOTE: The backup file size jump to 7GB, using BMM recovery about 3-4GB. Anything I missed..?
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
Have you checked if a device specific patch exists for your device.

I also see that it was not able to read sdcard free space correctly. Try updating your version of busybox with the busybox app from the play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyclu:
I see what you mean about "partitions not detected" and the app correctly work even if superuser doesn't ask for permission. Thanks for latest version, thank to this, no more confusion about partitions not detected.
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
Well, maybe you are right, I don't know but I have tried millions of times with the same result, sometimes there was a toast message "xposed not found" and as soon as I installed the xposed fw it worked. Maybe it's just a workaround but I can't explain it. I think it's the dev who should clear this out for the rest of the users who will come across the same issue
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
No, I'm definitely wrong. Same story returns even after my "fix". I'm uninstalling for now since its unreliable and unsupported. I posted the issue here long time ago and not a single reply. For my backups I need reliability.
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
Recovery

I started using this today and I'm new at this . I have a sprint sph-d710 galaxy s2 that's rooted but no custom recovery installed . Is it possible to restore a backup using Nandroid manager without actually having cwm or twrp installed on the device ? I've made two backups , one twrp and also a cwm and both completed smooth as silk . .Just haven't figured out how to restore either yet . I am running stock jellybean 4.2.1 and rooted I also haven't found anyway to install cwm or twrp for this phone on 4.2.1 .
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
To restore, you will need the nandroid manager, this app makes backups only.

Google or search xda, to find out about custom recoverys for your device.

m.
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
I have nandroid manager already but it doesn't seem to want to restore the backups . I am asking if its possible for nandroid manager to restore the backup without a custom recovery installed . Do you have this device ? There doesn't seem to be a cwm or a twrp available for the sph-d710 running jellybean 4.2.1 . Maybe ameer or H3R3T1C could chime in on this one . If nandroid manager relies on either cwm or twrp being installed I wonder if a script would be written to reboot the phone into temporary twrp or cwm just to do the restore . That's the way the galaxy nexus does it when you use wugfresh's toolkit for the nexus . This is an awesome program and if it twrp or cwm temporary could be started just to do the recovery then that would be awesome . Is that a possibility ?
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
...now, I see what you mean :)

Could be deficult without a custom recovery :(

m.
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
Yes , I'm crossing my fingers something will pop up .
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
Restore Ondroid with odin ?

Since I can't have a custom recovery , is it possible to restore my phone with a nandroid created by this program (online nandroid backup ) using either the stock recovery built into the phone or odin using my pc or even mobile odin ? the phone is rooted and works great .I just thought of this and wondered if it was a possible solution ? I'm not sure if the stock recovery can read clockworkmod or twrp nandroids ,Anyone can answer these questions ?
[Android Apps and Games] Lastman67:
very handy.thanks
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
[MENTION=482546]mONSTa[/MENTION]Diva,

...but this app creats backups only if you have a custom recovery installed, this custom recovery has to be bssed on CWM, TWRP and one or two more...

If a stock recovery would work with CWM, TWRP backups, it would be not stock anymore, I think....

m.
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
No ,that's Incorrect , this app will create nandroid backups without any custom recovery installed . I promise you it will , I've already made several and I have no custom recovery whatsoever installed . That's why I'm pursuing this to find if theres a way to restore it with stock recovery or odin . In fact I just made another backup with this app while I typed this . There are also scripts like the one with wugfresh's toolkit for the nexus that will run temporary twrp , not sure about cwm and restore a nandroid without any custom recovery installed . I have used that several times on my nexus . I'm a noob but trust me , you don't have to have custom recovery on your device to make a nandroid with this app . See, heres what I'm wondering , you know how some of the one clicks come with stock roms but have been rooted and maybe have cwm on them and you hook em to your pc and it calls up odin , then runs a script installing that rom to your completely stock , unrooted original rom ? and then wallah , reboots and your rooted and maybe cwm . Well , what I'm asking is if the same type of script can be set to flash that same backed up rom after its been on your phone and you've done a nandroid . My rom has no cwm or twrp in it . Its only rooted and backed up and i'm seeking a clearcut way to just put it back on if ever I need too . Same basic principle so I'm still asking for help on this . thanks
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
But ofcourse I believe you, you just report your experience :)

Very interessting! Since online nandroid creats a backup, even with stock recovery, it will be interessting to know, what backup it is....

So I would say, just try to restore it....

m.
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
I don't have a script specifically known to work for it and I'm going to wait until someone who knows might answer my questions . I don't want to brick my phone blindly or out of impatience . I just wonder technically if my rom being rooted and having some bloat removed is considered a custom rom now . I really know very little about partitions , roms and stuff . The reality might be as you suggest , a nandroid that could even be worthless . I sure hope someone will get around to addressing my other post and can tell me . Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] YeezyMode:
Hey, first off, thanks for the app and all your work, it's extremely useful. I have a Nexus 4 and wanted to try out a test backup using TWRP. I set a custom option and titled my backup "Test Backup" and used a custom path that said /data/media. After doing this, I can't seem to find the backup anywhere on my phone (Used Solid Explorer to look inside folders - hidden files included - and searched for the words "test" and "backup"). Any idea how I can find the file? I was planning on moving the entire folder to my PC, then doing a factory reset, then moving it back to see if the backup would still be recognized. If not, I at least want to be able to delete the file because it takes up around 2.0 GB of space. Please let me know what I can do. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
I had that happen as well on my nexus . I can't see the files from recovery with a file manager or even booted into the phone but I installed nandroid manager and can see the backups from there . I assume your using jellybean . Try sticking this same authors nandroid manager app on and maybe you'll see them as I did . Then you can tell it to recover and the script will work . Tested here . You might try that until a better answer comes along to at least see your files . It will also let you explore the backup files . Very nice program .

[Android Apps and Games] YeezyMode:
Hey thanks for the reply. I actually have that app and looked but couldn't find my backup there either. I used the "Find Nandroid backup paths" function and it didn't seem to recognize anything. Does the app developer reply often here?
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
Yes, he does :)

Logs are mostly very useful for him.

[Android Apps and Games] maranello69:
with no changes, same settings, same card, backup time has gone up from 5 to 25 mins

[Android Apps and Games] crzygrmn:
You can restore twrp backup with twrp recovery

And cwm backup with cwm recovery

I don't think there is any other way
[Android Apps and Games] :
This app worked great when I was on a TW ROM or on Slim Bean 4.2. Now, on Slim Bean 4.3, the script doesn't even start.

This is all I see.
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
...no problems on CM based JB 4.3 ROM on my tab....

m.
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
Thanks for the reply . I guess I'm SOL because I can't install either cwm or twrp to this device running jb 4.2.1 . Haven't found a path to getting one of those recovery's installed . That's why i'm hoping for some script or temp direct boot method to just be able to flash a nandroid onto the device that way . thanks again .
[Android Apps and Games] crzygrmn:
But if you have 4.2.1 running , how about goomanager and install twrp and restore your twrp backup . Root required
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
I'll have to investigate about this . You know the sph-d710 variant isn't supported like the VZ variant with cwm , rom manager etc . I did download goomanager and looked around , Remember , I just want to recover my own backup . I'll read up on it . Thanks for the reply and the straw . I'll let you know .
[Android Apps and Games] MonstaDriva:
So far I haven't found a way of getting twrp installed on this device . I surely would appreciate if you have an idea how I can do that . I do have root . But again my main focus for doing this is to be able to backup and restore my android backup , not custom roms . Any idea ? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
I'm not sure if this is an Online Nandroid Backup or Nandroid Manager issue. I'm using a Nexus 4 with the latest CWM.

When I set the backup path to /mnt/shell/emulated in Online Nandroid Backup, Nandroid Manager can see the backup straight after a backup is created. Open the app and it's there.

If I set the backup path to /data/media, I need to run Update Folder Permissions in Nandroid Manager before it to can see the backup.

These two paths go to the same location. Can anyone else replicate this issue and know why it might be happening?

Thanks. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] darkgore:
Hi,

First I have to say I'm new in flashing ROMs, so if you need more data do not hesitate to ask.

At the time I flashed 10.1 CM NIGHTLY, from July I think, with the kernel Siyah-v6.0b4-s2, everything ok. Later I go to 10.1.3 RC1 CM by CM updater, so went well too.

With RC1 running I installed Online Nandroid and did a backup, which was checked later restoring with CWM-based recovery v6.0.3.6, I think that recovery came with the ROM, was restored smoothly. Later I made another backup before moving to the RC2 by CM updater.

During the RC2 I made 3 backups at different times and more recently I moved to 10.1.3 CM STABLE and made another backup. The stable working has not convinced me so I tried to restore the last of my RC2 nandroids. I restart in recovery mode and select restore the nandroid, it begins the steps: Checking MD5 sums ... Erasing boot before restore ... Restoring boot image ... At this time gives error message "Error while flashing boot image!"

The fact is that it fails in all nandroids of RC2(3) and Stable(1) but the two of the RC1 can be restored without problems. I must say all nandroids were completed smoothly when I did them and are stored in external SD.

Any idea what is happening? I searched with Google, but I have not seen any clear solution. I feel unsafe if I can not trust in my Nandroid backups lol

Sorry for my english ;)

Thank you all in advance and greetings

**EDIT.-SOLVED.- ok I think I found the problem, the first and second nandroids backed ok but in the others the boot wasn't backed as I have seen in logs. Aplying specific patch for my phone in Online nandroid seems to have fixed the problem... Do you know if I can fix the others nandroids that haven't boot? Thanks!**

[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Since switching from an S3 to an S4, I am noticing a large increase in backup time and size between standard nandroids made via recovery vs with ONB app. I'm talking going from 4 min to 18 min, and 1.5 gb to 4+ GB. All seems to be the data partition, which is picking up an extra 3GB aproximately when using ONB...
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Seeing the difference (The extra 3GB in data and increased time) no matter if I use the ONB app, or if I run it manually from the command line. Only performing a nandroid from recovery do I see "normal" file sizes and backup times. Interesting enough, running from the command line you can see the process identify aprox 2.2GB space required for backup, but it still runs up to 4.5GB+

I know ONB is backing up more than recovery-run nandroid, ie boot and recovery partitions, but that doesn't come anywhere near accounting for the differences. It definitely has something to do with the data partition.

On the S3, recovery-run nandroids and ONB nandroids were always very close in size.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Same here, no errors in log, just increased backup time and increased backup size, all in data partition as noted above. Haven't had any sucess in determining what the issue is, and am back to manual nandroid backups via recovery instead. :(
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
After some reading, might be recovery related, I saw a post on the TWRP buglist page where a user noted his backups are suddenly taking 4-5x as long as before. He may not have noticed the accompanying size increase... I see the issue with TWRP versions 2.5.0.2, 2.6.3.0, and 2.6.3.1 (a custom pull from the i9505), fwiw. Hopefully it gets worked out...
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
May have found the culprit, noticed an error message while trying philz recovery about a file > 2gb, which was a surprise to be sure. Checking further I round some rather large files hanging around in /data/lost+found. After removing those (which is a story all into itself ;( ), ONB backups are back to a more normal size again.

So, I suspect ONB was backing these files up in lost+found, where the standard recovery nandroid backup was not, is all I can figure.

Hi, I've been using your app since first version and I think that it's great, even more if you use Nandroid manager.

But I have an idea and would like it to be a feature request: I flash ROMs nearly every day and lot of times I just forget to make a nandroid. Would it be possible to add a scheduler to the app? For example, that it backups every night or every two nights when it's charging.
[Android Apps and Games] TopperBG:
Agree !
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Do you have Tasker (or Locale, even) - if so it's very simple to schedule nightly backups, since your basically just running a command. You can even automate delete older backups as well...

Onandroid (6)
Run Both Together, Stay Awake
A1: Run Shell [ Command: [B]onandroid -w -p -s /mnt/extSdCard [/B]Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root: On Store Output In: Store Errors In: Store Result In: ]
A2: Notify [ Title: On Android Text:Nandroid Completed Icon:cust_warning Number:0 Permanent:eek:ff Priority:3 ]
A3: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:5 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A4: Run Shell [ Command: [B]find /mnt/extSdCard/TWRP/BACKUPS/dev_serial/ -mtime +2 -exec rm -rf {}[/B] \; Timeout (Seconds):20 Use Root: On Store Output In: Store Errors In: Store Result In: ]
A5: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:1 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A6: Stop [ With Error: Off Task: ]

This core of this comes from one of the OP's ONB or NM threads, I don't recall which... The bolded sections are the actual ONB backup command (using twrp mode in my case), and the latter deletes backup folders/files older than 2 days, which of course can be configured for any desired cycle.

[Android Apps and Games] BEBU1:
Hi guys, just made a backup but I was wondering why it's over 1 GB bigger then backups I make within CWM Recovery. I figured out Onandroid Script backups sd-ext partition as well. So my question is do I need sd-ext partition or could I save some space? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 with CM 10.2 nightlys.
[Android Apps and Games] LillieBennett:
I think cwm always compresses and onandroid gives choice, did you choose no?

via LG Spectrum (waiting for N3 DE) & tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] BEBU1:
I think there's no option for compression in the app. I just selected Backup Modus Normal in default settings. I compared the backups with Nandroid Manager and there is no sd-ext partition in backups made with cwm recovery.
[Android Apps and Games] LillieBennett:
Right you are, that option seems to be for TWRP only. Nandroid Manager (play store) will tell if your backup is compressed and if not then the explanation is the same. :)
[Android Apps and Games] BEBU1:
Yeah, but that doesn't solve my question ;) Why is sd-ext backed up with onandroid and cwm doesn't? It would save me a lot of space if it's not needed.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Problems are solved, not questions ;).

ONB does a full backup by default, which is why it includes sd-ext. I suppose it depends on the device, and sd-ext can differ, but on my device its just a symbolic link so takes no space at all, 34 bytes. Are you sure that is what is taking up the additional 1gb?

ONB can be run with custom config though - just go into settings > default backup settings > backup mode and try selective vs normal. This will allow you to choose the partitions you want to backup.
[Android Apps and Games] BEBU1:
I'm pretty sure it's taking space. Looks like I have to test restoring some Backups including sd-ext and not...
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
You can also use the companion app Nandroid Manager to explore ONB backups and see exactly how much room each mount or dir, etc is taking up...
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
New beta released! Should be visible to all beta testers in the play store very soon or you can download it from this post!

Schedules backup! Gosh! This is what we were waiting for!!!

I just scheduled online backup for a night to test. Will let you know results soon. Thanks agaaaaiiiiiiiin! :)

EDIT:

I tested it and all is working fine, except one issue:

I set the daily backup at 3:00am and it seems that the app is doing backup each 3 hours :)

I mean: backup started at 3:00am then next one at 6:00am, then next one at 9:00am and next...12:00 :)

Could you correct this error, please? Thanks in advance!

Set it in 12pm ... but it's bug and I'm pretty sure that will be fixed from dev :D
