[Q] Need to recover file from nandroid backup?!

Hi all,
I need to recover some information from my phone from before I flashed a new ROM, and wondering what's the easiest way about it based on the scenario given below;
I was running a rooted stock ROM (LB) with TWRP. I used titanium to batch backup my apps ( but seem to have overlooked my notepad app which had info in it that I now need.)
I installed resurrection remix which comes with CWM so can't just do a new nandroid, then restore the old one to get the info, then re-restore the newer backup.
Is there a way to extract the info direct from my twrp backup on my SD/ laptop or do I need to/is it possible to flash TWRP to replace CWM and keep the rest of the ROM as-is?
TIA

If you are just recovering a file, and not restoring the backup itself, try using nandroid manager. I can extract a file from my nandroid backup (created by cwm). I never tried it with twrp nandroid backup though.

Other option is to try to flash the Dual Recovery on your phone.
Then you have TWRP and CWM on your phone.

Replacement Verizon phone not restoring nandroid backup

Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
I just got a replacement phone from Verizon with 46A and these are the steps i followed to try and restore a stock rooted lollipop rom from my old phone.
-flashed to 10B by TOT method
-rooted with Stump
-downloaded TWRP from play store
-flashed and got to TWRP recovery successfully
-created a new backup with just the boot.img
-placed the old nandroid backup in that folder
-wiped cache and dalvik/art
-flashed XDABBEB's VS985 24B bootstack
-restored my nandroid backup
...and then i kept getting a "secure boot error" at startup. Boot verification error. I could only get onto TWRP and download mode. I don't know what i did wrong. I looked through this forum for solutions but couldn't find any. So long story short, i ended up flashing back to 10B via TOT method. Any solutions to restore my old backup?
also another strange thing was when i moved my old backup to the new folder, it wouldn't show the checkboxes for boot, data, system etc to restore. i had to place the old backup in the same folder with the boot.img and i had to copy and replace it with the old backup for it to show when trying to restore it.

That used to happen to me when the boot image wasn't bumped. Can you try flashing the sharpening mod so boot can be bumped, and see if it solves your problem?

Can't make a Nandroid backup in TWRP - SDCARD is encrypted

I've rooted and installed TWRP (RC2) sucessfully on my Pixel (Non-Versizon), but when I boot into TWRP and try to create a Nandroid backup I can't because the SDCARD folder is encrypted.
How do I get around this safely?

I usually flash-all.bat and/or keep re-installing TWRP over and over until it finally decrypts.
There is probably an easier way to do it.
I just haven't bothered to look.

Question Pad 5 android 13 fully backup.

Hello,
As there is no twrp version for android 13 and therefore for xiaomi pad 5.
Can we install ClockWorkMod or PhilZ in recovery with root manager in order to make a complete backup of the system as with twrp.
So far I've used titanium backup and backup pro, I'll try swift backup and oandbackup instead for one-time backups.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Question Nandroid backup for Twrp 3.6.1

I have found that nandriod backup with Twrp 3.6.1 does not work. Has anyone got it working? For me it ends with an error when restoring system partition backup. I have also disabled encryption and still the nandroid backup does not work. If anyone can provide instructions with any particular version of twrp, it will be helpful

I used nandroid backup for restore arrow 11 after wrong experiments with full success. I use twrp: 3.6.1_11-RedmiK40_v3.4_A12-alioth-skkk_49fc7a15.img
I have not tested the same with Android 12.1.
