Does the nandroid backup also backup sdcard.
I am about to format my sd card and I already saved what matters like photos and nandroid backups, but im wondering if anything goes wrong will the nandroid backup fix the problem or do I have to backup to my pc (which sadly doesnt have the space)
Nope, just the phone. If you app2sd then it will back up the ext partition that the apps are on but that about as good as it gets.
You could always back it up to a usb drive or dvd-rw if you have them.
I'm about to move to CM9.
When doing a backup in cwm does it backup the data on internal storage as well?
So when I wipe data cache dalvik etc.. If I move back to GB will it restore my data again?
I've done the backup to my external SD.
Thanks

doing backup will backup /system partition, /data partition, and /cache partition..
internal storage or internal sd? did you mean the apps that you've downloaded before? it's in internal storage (or in /data partition).. so it's automatically will be backup..
if internal sd card, no..
if you restore, yes, it will restore all your apps, contacts, etc.. BUT will not restore apps in external sd card that you moved before..
BEWARE: doing factory reset, will erase your app in external sd.. so if want to backup them, move to internal storage first (not internal sd)..
IMO, upping to CM9 without first clearing out both Internal and External SD will result in lots of niggling problems...
Rather, back up important stuff with Titanium, copy the folder to your PC, copy also important things not backed up by Titanium to your PC (e.g., photos in DCIM), and delete *everything* in the SD Card (internal and external) using CWM.
So, here are the steps that I'm planning to do:
1. Copy important contents of internal SD to SD card
2. Perform FULL Titanium Backup
3. Power off, remove SD Card
4. Move all contents of SD Card to PC, then format SD Card
5. Copy CM9 installers to SD Card
6. Insert SD Card, and Power on into recovery (CWM)
7. Erase everything: system, data, dalvik-cache, internal SD, EXCEPT external SD
8. Proceed with installation of CM9 + GApps

So, a Nandroid backup is made up of partitions: /system, /data, /boot, etc.
I presume the internal SD card (where your camera images and screenshots are stored--where there are like 50 folders of apps you've installed or even uninstalled) is in /data, but I can't find it.
Basically, where is the root of your SD card stored on your Nandroid backup? I'm using TWRP, if it makes a difference!

P.S. If you were looking for the "Storage" folder when browsing the root (where /system, /data, etc. are located), where would that be in a Nandroid?
From what i recall Nandroid are either .IMG or .Win files... theyre not in .zip format or folder format.
you would need to decompile thise files and navigate thru them.
i honestly dont know where they would be at.
Right, I already extracted them.
However, I found the files I was looking for--somehow they were kept in that folder even after a full wipe!
Hi all,
I have a big problem, i promised i searched before nut i didn't find anything useful about it.
I installed the Ditto Note 3 v5 on my device, and everything was fine, but after I installed agni kernel, the system went crazy, i did follow the exact procedure, or if i made a mistake i didn't on purpose.
Whatever i had a nandroid backup before installing agni kernel, but now i found my device impossible to write on internal storage, meanwhile the external is fine I can do anything i wish, but the the internal storage no way to create even a folder or a simple file.
I have done that with TWRP 2.7.0.2 as a recovery, and I am really in deeply **** (sorry for the word), because I heavily use my device in my work, I am a "soccorritore", that means like paramedic in USA in ambulance, so it is really the truth i am in deeply ****, because I have all my documents in the internal storage in the nandroid backup, but i don't know how to restore them.
The nandroid backup is 4.58GB, but when i install the nandroid backup the internal storage is 7.5GB left, before with all the data was 5.8GB left in internale storage, so it is missing 1.7GB of data.
PLEASE!
I really need help and as soon as possible, I do not care about myself but documents and people schedules
Hi there, I've also restored one time my Rom through TWRP and couldn't write on the internal Storage anymore. TWRP has a problem with that, use Philz Recovery in future.
So, do you have your documents etc. in some Apps saved or in your internal Storage?
Yes, i do have documents in backup data. The problem is not the rom, in worst cases I reinstall again a new one, but what about the documents?

Well like I said/asked, if your documents are in some Apps, backup them using Titanium Backup on your SD Card. If your files are on the internal storage, you can simply flash a Firmware through Odin and nothing should happen to your data. Or just connect your device to your PC and copy all your files over to your PC.

The problem are not the backup applications, but the documents as I said, they are not in an application, they are in the nandroid backup created from TWRP recovery and the nandroid backup is an md5 format.
You are telling me that titanium backup can restore nandroid backups?
I even thought to use odin, if it can be useful.
No Titanium Backup can't restore backups, it just backups all your apps + data.
A Recovery doesn't backup your whole Internal Storage, it just backups your System Partition etc.
So my thought were, just flash a Firmware through Odin and everything should be alright I guess.
Oh man! I love you
I still like women but I think you know what I mean, I used odin and I restored the entire backup to the device, but still not able to write on the internal storage, but who cares I reflash e new rom, the most important is i can transfer the documents and the data to the external storage and to a computer. I learned a lesson today, I can't describe how do I feel now, and there are no words to describe how much I thank you
I have an issue with a TWRP backup that I did the other day. When in TWRP and I go to restore TWRP does not recognize the backup. When I made the backup it was stored in the TWRP folder on my internal storage. After installing a new sdcard (the next day) I moved the subject backup from the internal storage a folder on my sdcard I named "Backup". In the process of moving the backup the backup name assigned by TWRP was changed. All the files are there, other than the name change no modification has been made to the backup. Is there anyway to recover that backup so that TWRP recognizes it?
I have 2 other backups that TWRP does recognize so I'm good there.
