Use root explorer...TWRP/backups...
If they are not there...I'm not sure but you may not have them
I know they are there, I can see them in both twrp under the install tab an in es. My question is why arent they showing under the restore tab of twrp..? I know they're there, in twrp backups, but, once again, they do not show "restore" in twrp where they should be showing...

Have u gone from 4.2.2 back to a 4.1 one Rom? I know on the note 2 flipping back and forth would screw it up like that.
Yes, went from stock 4.1.2 to 4.2.2.....

Root/sdcard/twrp should be the path so the twrp folder should be in sdcard. Is that where it shows it?

Well after having my N1 for two years (I bought it on launch day) I finally got up the never to root it using this process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Had a few heart stopping moments as the script hung until I realised that while I had download the SDK to get the USB driver I hadn't actually installed the driver for the phone.
Confirmed that it was rooted by downloading Titanium Backup and doing a backup.
For a new ROM (as yet undecided) is a Titanium Backup good enough or should I also do the cyanogenmod clockworkmod recovery?
Should I be able to restore my apps and settings after the new ROM using the Titanium Backup?
You wanna do a Nandroid or Full Image Backup with Clockwork. Titanium is just as you said apps and data. Although, I think CWM has a system bu option. Don't use CWM anymore use Amon_Ra. So not up on steps. The post 3.0 CW's have had issues and are documented.
You can restore apps and data at any time with Titanium, but I think to do system stuff you need to be restoring to same rom.
I highly recommend Nandroids and sdcard backups before doing any new flashing.
Start with CM7 roms the stable ones, then move on. Read OP pages fully and scan threads front to back for info/problems etc

But i hv read many ppl complaining abt the problem with their sd card partition due to cwm? ??
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
use the pre 3.0 versions
Let's try Amon_RA Recovery
Best recovery by far. Never any issues. Been using this version for months and months. Perfect with flashing, backing up, restoring, and partitioning.
are you experienced with fastboot commands adb etc
The downside with Amon_RA is it doesn't give you the option to wipe the /system partition. I have stuck with a pre-3.0 version of ClockworkMod for this reason. There is a new recovery out there called 4EXT that is based on ClockworkMod, but doesn't have the issue with corrupting partitions. He has also added a TON of new features. This does seem to be the best on out there now. He even just released a touch-based version. The thread is in the development section.
Hello all,
I have rooted my galaxy note,have recovery working and think i am ready to tweak my machine.
I have created a backup from recovery so am i correct to think that after flashing,lets say,custom kernal,i can get it all back to where i am now by restoring this backup made from recovery?
And same goes for flashing and trying ROCKETROM?
Love this forum by the way,keep it up!
you get back the exact status of which the backup was made from.
you can easily check out different roms and get back to your old system by restoring from the backup (dont forget to geht them specific names as they are named by date+time)

Now how's that for a quick reply,thanx two_handed,making different backups while trying different stuff is a good one!
The kernel will be over-written by your restore.
If you flash a new kernel and then restore your previous backup, you will lose the new kernel and return to your original setup.

Ahh,tx nobnut,with that i have both my questions answered
Gonna try out sum stuff right away!!
There is just one thing to bear in mind.
Some kernels use different recoveries than 'stock' (e.g. Chainfire's modified recovery). If you use one of these, your restore might not work.
Don't worry. If you flash the Chainfire kernel again using the CWM app or Mobile ODIN, you can then restore your backup.

Okay,so besides my recovery backup i should have this kernal by hand to make sure i have the right recovery once i need to restore?
CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Thats actualy the first one i was going to flash using recovery

Okay,took me a while but i flashed latest rocketrom that includes a different recovery,not cwm. Does that mean i can not use it to restore my stock,rooted backup?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Whats the "different" recovery? Red pill? If yes, red pill backups are normally compatible with cwm recoverys and vice versa.
What about just giving it a try?

I messed my phone up tonight and got it stuck in a bootloop since there is currently no RUU out I'm left with no choice but to go back to the store. Does anyone know if T-Mobile stores have the stock RUU and can restore it?

Hold volume down while it bootloops. I guarantee you'll make it into hboot.

I made it to hboot the problem is I cant do a restore because i dont have the tmobile stock ruu, I have a nandroid but cant get it over to the device because im unable to transfer. I think the only solution is to get the ruu and restore

If your problem is transferring files, can you not go to recovery and use usb-ms (while attached to the computer) which will then open the memory of the phone on the computer. That's what I did to transfer stock ruu when I recently bricked my evo 4g.

I'm currently in the process of trying to push a nandroid backup to the device via adb. The problem is that there's no stock ruu for tmobile as of yet so the only choice I have is to recover via a nandroid.

no success at all, I'm gonna head to the tmobile store here in a few and see what I can get worked out
I just came back from the bell store, and they said that they could exchange me for a new one but they don't have any in stock until Tuesday.
I soft bricked my nexus devices dozen times in the past few years, and was easily restored to stock. Lesson learned by me, never root a non nexus device within 1 week of its release.

Why even bother? Just push a ROM, wipe system and data, then flash it.
You don't need a ruu. What did you do to get into a bootloop.

factory reset wont work but luckily i got it taken care of and got my device swapped and no custom kernel
dont know how you did that. ive flashed every rom i could for this device to problem recovering from bootloops
I managed to fixed mine finally, Installed twrp and mounted my USB via otg. Then flashed a custom ROM, rebootef,still suck at the boot screen. Flashed a custom kernel, and it finally got passed the boot screen.
So happy to get my One back up and running again.

had this problem. i sideloaded a rom on and then it was fine. use the m7 all in one to sideload from recovery and it should work fine.
Ok so here's the story. I went and backed up my current rom because I wanted to see if I could flash Batakang Rises with cwm (It did flash after I manually mounted the system) but it got stuck in a bootloop. I figured it was just a bad flash so I went and erased it and thought I would try figure it out when I got home. So I then went and formatted the phone and tried to restore my PAC backup I'd made and it said "MD5 mismatch. What the deal ? Is my stuff gone just gone ?

Did you rename the backup folder name? If you did, take out any spaces in the name and try again. You'll need another ROM to flash so you can change it.

I think I figured it out. I have the back ups installed in the external SD. Here's the thing though. I went to rom manager and its not giving me the option to have the ext SD as the primary. (I have the pro version) so im guessing that its not reading my sd. what's the deal with that?

My brother (being the idiot he is) decided to take it upon himself to root my htc one (unlocked Australian model). Now I have a custom recovery installed and so can't install the recently available 4.2.2 update. Is there either a way to install this update, or a way to flash back the original recovery so that I can install it?
Both yes. You can download the original recovery.img and flash it via fastboot. but now that you can flash zips why not try a ROM from XDA devs. Most are very stock with some extra features.

I'm quite interested in this one, but want to double check, with the installation is it really as simple as downloading the zip, then rebooting into recovery and installing the zip from there? No need for anything else like the cmd on pc or anything? Seems rather simple is all, just want to make sure I'm understanding it right. Will be the first time flashing a custom Rom is all.

Since you already have a custom recovery, then yes it is as easy as installing the zip. Its always safer to make a nandroid backup first however, so choose the backup option in your recovery, and save that file to your computer, then you can easily flash the custom ROM.
