Hi,

I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup I did with TWRP 2.3.3.0 but I'm not being successful and it's bothering me because now I have an unstable system and didn't really wanted to reinstall everything from scratch...

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong but after restoring the backup and rebooting the phone, I can boot but MOST of my apps are not "installed". Shortcuts I had on the home screen are there with their respective icons, I click on them and I get "Applications is not installed". I also get a notification saying that phone storage is running low, and it is hitting the 2GB limit, but it never was like this before, I had lots of of free space for apps. Looking at the nandroid backup, it seems I have

data.ext4.win000

and

data.ext4.win001

both with around 1.5GB, which goes above the 2GB limit. Not sure if this means anything...

Why isn't this backup working and what can I do to attempt to solve it?

Any other info I can give you so you can better try and help me, just let me know what you need to know...

Wrong section..

Hmm full wipe before restore??
[HTC One X] rfgamaral:
Already tried that... :(
[HTC One X] rfgamaral:
I updated to TWRP 2.5.0.0 and now I get "restore failed"... :'(

There's no way to get around this is there?
[HTC One X] exocetdj:
not sure if your recovery is corrupt, maybe worth making a titanium backup of apps and system data, flashing a new rom and then restoring via titanium?
[HTC One X] rfgamaral:
Can I make a titanium backup out of the nandroid backup? Cause that's all I have right now, my current ROM is not even working properly... I'll have completely reinstall a new ROM.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
what do you mean titanium backup out of the nandroid? normally the data backup should be there too...to be sure i always make tit backup's for my apps...
[HTC One X] rfgamaral:
The only backup I have is a Nandroid backup and nothing else. I don't even have a running/working ROM at the moment.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Normally the nandroid backup should also save the data which means the apps and their data, hm.....due that it isn't working you have to install from beginning

[HTC One X] Shan89:
It's your fault cuz the app data is not being restored , 1stly when you made the backup with TWPR you should've selected to backup the CACHE , you skipped that step since by default TWPR skips that step = no apps data anymore, tho there are shortcuts and in manage all apps you can see those apps installed but with grey collor like when being removed from lets say rom cleaner , theres still the APP IMAGE but not the app it'self , you could try this:

1. Flash old recovery ( the one you used to make the back up 2.3 or which ever you used ) . full wipe , restore nand backup ( don't forget to flash the boot.img in the bootloader if you used different kernel in that time or flash the modules via recovery for the kernel you use atm )

after you boot up re-download those apps that are there with shortcuts but not apps itself and hope for the saves from those apps to be there.

Next time if you don't wanna risk it you titanium back up and save the apps that matter to you , when restoring them back : download the app , go to titanium and restore only the DATA.

or simply check in TWPR when making nand backup to save the CACHE as well in the backup.
[HTC One X] rfgamaral:
Yeah, I know it was my fault... I was at work doing other stuff at the same time and didn't focus on what I was actually doing with my phone and I messed up. I was used to an old recovery on my old phone where a nandroid backup would backup everything needed and didn't really look at the partition options.

I'm doing exactly what you mentioned and so far seems to be working. All the data seems to be there, I just have to reinstall all the apps...

One thing though, since the nandroid restore process didn't work correctly, I was left with a full /data partition and my phone started reporting "low storage" and didn't allow me to do install anything. I looked into the /data partition and found out that the folder lost+found was filling up the partition, I erased everything in it and restored 1.2Gb of free space. I can now install all my apps.

Thank you all.

Your rom is ok but i think your sdcard were you install your app has been modified. Just do a factory reset and install apps again it happened to me too).

I have different problem about nandroid back up, everytime i transfer my back up to pc and back again to my phone, the custom recovery cannot detect my back up. What should i do?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Make sure you make no changes in the folder structure and folder naming. It has to be exact the same as it was.......and when you want to restore a nandroid you always flash the boot.img and recovery.img from the nandroid and then do the rest of the procedure
[HTC One X] harrymason37:
thanks! Thats what i'm doing wrong, i just transfer the folder were the files is locate, i ignore the twrp folder. Thanks again.

After enabling Pie Control on 5 of my phones and tablets, I edited an instruction for myself,

Enable Pie Control on CM10.1

1. Enable Pie : Setting->Interface->System->Pie Controls

2. Enable : Setting->Interface->System->Power Menu->Expanded desktop

check Status bar Visible

3. Long press PowerButton to have power menu displayed

4. In Power Menu click on Expanded desktop.

This works on all my Android 4.2.2 devices except Nook HD+ flashed with verygreen's CM10.1 EMMC 0613.

The problem is I do not see Pie Controls setting in Setting->Interface->System->Pie Controls or anywhere else, thus can't enable it.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster860:
I have a nexus 7 that's rooted and everything. I found a way to root it somewhere without unlocking the bootloader. However, now I want to install twrp. Is there a way to do that without unlocking the bootloader, or maybe unlock the bootloader without wiping the device? My device is rooted.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nico_60:
You can try this: install goo.im and choose install OpenRecoveryScript in menu, it should install last version of twrp.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Yea once you are rooted, you can reinstall the custom recoveries through Goo.IM for TWRP or RomManager for ClockWorkMod.

Unlocking is just an easy way to root. That is all. It doesn't do anything else. Most devices are never unlocked. They just root and flash.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
PS: I hate goomanager with a passion. Far as TWRP goes. I just go straight to the source http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/129

And I grab the latest img, pop my phone into the bootloader and

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-mako.img

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

You can't flash a non-stock recovery or rom without the phone being unlocked... ergo without it unlocked you can't flash TWRP. You can root a stock rom without unlocking but if you want to use a custom recovery (which is very beneficial/useful) or custom rom, you need to unlock.

The locking is there to prevent non-official software (bootloader, recoveries, systems) from being flashed on the phone as sort of a security mechanism (thus why warranty is only considered voided after such, because with the bootloader locked it's only the official software running on it).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gc84245:
I never unlocked my bootloader and I have TWRP installed. I rooted using the motochopper method, then installed TWRP using rom toolbox pro.

Sent from XDA app
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Ahh ok well the difference is, you flash the recovery from an app within a rooted rom, with the bootloader locked, you wouldn't be able to use the fastboot method.

Have you been able to flash a custom rom with the locked boot loader and TWRP?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, kbeezie...

I am also running a bootloader locked, (rooted by motochopper exploit), Nexus 7..

...and I flashed a custom ROM via TWRP...

Initially, I installed TWRP using the dd command, (dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS) in Android Terminal Emulator, but subsequently discovered an easier way via

[APP]Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode

.

It seems (from reading around XDA), Goo Manager, and now it turns out, ROM toolkit will all do something similar.

It appears that there are many ways of skinning the same metaphorical cat:).

I just always assumed that an unlocked bootloader, and fastboot was the only way... but that's the great thing about Android (and XDA); there's always something new to learn.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gc84245:
I haven't tried yet. I just assumed I wouldn't be able to, but now it's got me thinking if it might be worth a try. I'm pretty happy with the stock Rom though, so no plans to change it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Yes... you will be able to... it just involves a bit more effort if you're bootloader is locked. But if you're happy with the stock ROM, then stick with it.

Stock ROM is actually pretty good. (I'm even considering going back to it myself... rooting it via motochopper, and then flash Franco's kernel... and maybe push the AOSP browser to /system.)

---------------------------

As a rough distinction between the two...

Custom ROMs are more about functionality - expanded power-down menu, giving easy reboot access to recovery and the bootloader - modifiable quick settings menu - modifiable notifications - modifiable navigation bar (home, backbutton etc.), PIE, HALO...etc.. and sundry other stuff. Paranoid Android, I understand, is hugely configurable in that regard.

Custom KERNELS are more about speed, smoothness, and battery performance... so if you're not bothered about all the bells and whistles offered by custom ROMs, then stock ROM with a custom kernel is a good compromise.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Yes this is untrue for most devices. Once you gain root, you can install root apps, which can flash custom recoveries, which can flash custom roms. Even on my old Nexus One, eventually we found a way to root without unlocking, and able to do whatever we wanted... all while still locked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chaosclarity:
Yes, there is. You can just use ES File Manager and connect to the share across the network.

If you want it to work anywhere you are, then you'll have to configure your router and firewall to allow this.

Not sure if your WHS has FTP or not, but if it doesn't you can install a simple FTP server like FileZilla. Then you could use one the many ftp sync apps to sync the photos folder of your phone with the server.

Just an idea.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jda2631:
Thank you! This looks like exactly what I was looking for. I have never set up an ftp server, is filezilla a good one to use? Also do you have a recommendation for one of the apps to use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Shammyh:
OpenVPN + ES File Explorer.

Or any combination of VPN + SMB aware file manager.

Or as others have mentioned, you can simply do FTP. Remember though, FTP is not encrypted, and is a heavily targeted default port for script kiddies and professional hackers alike. At a bare minimum run on a high number non standard port, and preferably also don't allow access from the entire internet address space... That's still just security through obscurity, aka, not real security, but it'll help a tiny bit. Seriously though, if you've never run an FTP server before, I'd at least use a VPN, then go in over FTP, rather than just opening up to the entire internet.

Personally... I just use S3, and use that to store my files in the "cloud". It's cheap, just as fast to upload to, and you get the benefit of extremely reliable storage. Aka, if your server crashes, house burns down, etc etc. You can also use reduced redundancy storage on S3 if you wanna save a few bucks.

I then regularly sync certain S3 buckets to my local server from S3 for fast network access. Really up to you though... Lot of different ways to achieve similar outcomes. The biggest benefit to me though is I rely on S3 as a backup, and hence don't have to worry about backing up locally/off-site a 2nd time.

Agreed. Also, for the app side of things, Foldersync is great. Ive used it in the past. You can read about it here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full&hl=en

As for the whole FTP being insecure thing, yes and no..... By changing the default por from 21 you should alleviate most of your problems. Even then I doubt youd really have any issues. Ive been running a web server with ftp enabled ON THE DEFAULT port for over a year and have had no issues. Im pretty sure youd be fine.

I use app called Sweet Home! You dont need to install anything on your WHS just set up configuration on your app with your WHS logon credentials.

Once complete, it syncs all of my photos and upload them to my designated directories on WHS when your phone is plugged to charge.

I also made a setting so that any photos older than 3 months are to be deleted on my phones but to be remained on my WHS (I knly have 16GB and always full of photos). thats the beauty of having WHS, it acts as your own cloud storage.

I have a WHS 03. This app also works on NAS if you have it.

The thing is, that I can't get anything flashed onto it. I start it into bootloader mode (I have cotullas HSPL 2.08 version) and it says "Serial". When I connect it to the computer via USB it says "USB" but when I try to flash anything it just doesn't recognize the connection so it says that USB connection can't be found.
