Hello,
because i never actually understood this Nandroid backup, can someone please help me a bit?
So if i do a backup through Titanium Backup, this is a Nandroid backu?
Or Nandroid, is something more specific using another program?
Thanks
nope. Nandroid backup is done using OpenRecovery. It can be accessed using the nandroid menu in OpenRecovery.There are 2 kinds of nandroid backup's now. The old nandroid uses only 1 md5 file for all the images while the new version uses different md5 files for each of the image.
Have a look at this post for a detailed explanation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698059
so when we use the zipped "update" file when we use open recovery, that's the Nandroid backup?
And thus an "update" file can be created using Titanium Backup?
No. Nandroid contains image files ( .img ). Go thru the link that i posted. It's all there.
Nandroid is a backup of various partitions in your mobile , like the system,data,cache,boot etc.. in .img format.

I stupidly updated to 2.2 with out writing down my Unlock Code. Luckily my unlock stayed when updating but I made a nandroid backup of my 2.1 software before I updated. Is it possible to extract the /efs folder and find the code in the backup? I have a mac and I'm not quite sure how I would do this? If I were to restore to my backup would my /efs file get over written by the backup?
If this isn't possible, will i be forced to upgrade to 2.2 once it comes out?
(I'm on cognition 2.2)
Thanks

I think the nandroid backup is just directories - have you looked in the backup folder?
I looked in the backup folder and there are a bunch of .img files like system.img, data.img, etc. I have no clue how to open up this kind of file on a mac. Any programs out there for this on a mac?
Is there any way to change clockworkmod backup to flashable zip. The backup use a lot of space when I move it to my pc and decide to restore back, the md5 checksum doesnt match,
Haven't heard such a feature of flashable zip for CWM backup files. Besides, it's already compressed, so if it's quite large then maybe you do have a lot of files and data in your device.
Regarding checksum not matched; please do not rename or delete any folder / files from CWM backup folder contents when you do backup to PC.

I faced the same problem few days ago, and this solution worked for me.

Hello @ all,
I´ve made a CWM backup on my external sdcard. Now I want to restore this backup and all I get is an error saying MD5 mismatch. I read a while in this board (which often saved my life) and found out, that I had to delete the file nandroid.md5 (which even didn´t exist in my backup-folder). So i created a new, empty file. But no change, restoring my backup was not possible.
So please give me some hints what to do..
Thanks a lot,
Michael

Open a terminal shell, navigate to your NANDROID backup folder, and issue "md5sum *.tar.*> nandroid.md5"

if you have TWRP you can make another backup and then replace those files with the ones you backed up and voila.
Hi Guys, why if I do a backup using TWRP 3.0.2-1 can´t use it after update TWRP 3.1? And if I do a backup using TWRP 3.1 the name of this backup begins with Life_Max? Can someone explain it to me?

The 3.1 twrp is a dirty port from life-max recovery, so that's why the name.
Backups usually don't go between recovery versions, without renaming or manually moving to proper folder structure for new version

this is mostly speculation, I have not done it. But these are the common steps.
1 make a backup with the new recover, so you have the right folder structure that the new recovery uses, (most of the time it is folder with device serial number in the name)
2. take your saved backup folder and add it to the folder made in step above.
example
/sdcard/TWRP/mxvrxxx******/backup-made-date-xx-xx-xxx
put old backup folder into the 3rd folder (from example mxvrxxx******)
EDIT:
OK I just did it.
The new 3.1 recovery makes it pretty easy.
the recovery directory is
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/Life_Max
put your saved backup folder( the folder that has: boot.emmc.win, system.emmc.win etc) into the Life_Max folder, you can now restore your backup.
