[Q] backup dissappeared after flashing ROM - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a C6603 that had andoid 4.3. I rooted it and flashed the ROM after a loooong time of finding the right assets, anyway.... I backed up my 4.3 using CWM, then I flashed my ROM to the PAC-ROM. I saved the backup on my SD-card and I can't find it anywhere. The phone works with a few minor hickups, but nothing i can't handle. I'm afraid the SD-card was formatted and my backup is gone..... Is there now no way i can revert to stock android as it were, installing 4.4 when that arrives and so on???

yeah it appears that your sd card has been formatted, but no worries u can still flash ftf of sony stock rom or even a cwm flashable zip
so when 4.4 comes out just flash the ftf via flashtool or a cwm flashable zip

first download any root browser and go to data/media/clockworkmod/backup and check if the backup in there , if not then go to your sdcard and check lost.dir folder and check the lost.dir folder on internal storage , check the size of the files in it , if the size is big ( approximately = size of the backups ) then your backup is been lost and not deleted and u can recover it easily
i wish u can find your backup bro

This is a real nooby question.... but it I do this will it be the same as if I never flashed the phone in the first place? or will i maybe experience problems since I flashed it and didn't update normally??

Just copy/paste the backup to the sd card clockworkmod folder
But beware is you on a older version of recovery you cant restore it because of a md5 mismatch and twrp wil not reconize the nandroid unless you change the format of the backup

The backup already is there, but as I installed the ROM the phone switched from CWM recovery to Team Win Recovery project, and it can't find the backup! I downloaded ROM manager and chose CWM as the recovery program, but everytime the phone boots into recovery it launches TWRP, which does not find the backup. The backup was easily found in ROM manager and it told me that it would turn of my phone and get back to the old 4.3, as soon as it turned back on it launched TWRP and it did not do anything -_-

Factory reset doesn't delete the backup, that is stored in the SDcard (or emulated SDcard?)

Before flashing you should have tried to make sure the backup file was there (select restore in the menu before flashing); Maybe there's a bug in the CWM

cwm backup not working? is twrp available?

just tried making a backup (on mokee 4.2.2 rom with optimus prime kernel)
and it all goes through on the screen ok. makes md5 at the end etc. says completed. but when I reboot there's nothing on the memory of the phone in the cwm folder
any ideas?

Which folder did you look into?
There are many cwm folders but the one with the backups is "/storage/sdcard1/clockworkmod/backups".
At least for me

checked both, nothing in either. I've even tried both options of backup and backup to external sd.

Got the same Problem. Rom Manager Shows the Backups i made and I can restore them but nothing to see in the folders..
so restore does work? I was afraid to try because it wipes before flashing and I didn't want to lose all data

Are you looking for the backups with a explorer with root permissions? If not, I think you can't see the backups because they are somehow protected to not get deleted while flashing or factory resetting.
If you want TWRP flash a recovery zip through CWM

With rom Manager backup and restore works without any problems for me. The only thing is i found no backup files on phone or sd card.
I found the other backups are stored in
"mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backups" and they are all visible for me with root explorer.

Your data shouldn't get wiped. No harm in making a backup though, just in case anything goes wrong. You'll just have to reflash twrp once you're done. Just out of curiosity, what's the software number of the update you got?

just a quick word of caution, last time I flashed back a stock recovery (and accessed it, but didnt do anything in it), I was unpleasantly surprised that it wiped my entire internal storage

All the info needed to update is here http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/ota/
First flash the guru reset mentioned, then the OTA•
You could use titanium backup for all your apps and manually copy all the stuff from the internal sdcard to your pc. Making a nandroid won't really help, coz then you'll be restoring an older nandroid to a phone with a newer firmware, which doesn't work well. If you're completely stock right now, you could make a nandroid, and then after updating, if you want stuff to be like before, you could restore only your data partition. Works on Viper, not sure about stock.

I would
I use Titanium Backup Pro for that (there's also a free version), both require root though. if you need a solution without root, check out Helium; i've never tried it but it should also work.
for SMS and call logs, I use "SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Logs Backup & Restore" by Ritesh Sahu, which work better than Titanium IMHO.
Then I put everything on my PC, and I'm good to go
Okay, maybe I confused you a bit here, lets do this step by step
1. Make a nandroid of your current rom(data partition) with twrp (make sure you copy this to your pc), backup all apps with titanium backup, copy all data from internal storage
2. Flash guru reset.
3. Flash OTA.
4. Flash twrp, get root
5. Make a nandroid of the new rom (just in case), and then restore only the "Data" partition from the nandroid backup. If it works, amazing. If not, restore all apps from titanium backup. Good luck

1. make a backup of all sd-card data
2. make a titanium backup of all apps
3. use Super Backup : SMS & Contacts to backup call logs, sms and contacts
4. make a nandroid backup of system
5. Flash the stock recovery
6. do an OTA update
I thing this much will do the update right? or is there anything to worry about?

Why I'm suggesting that you download the guru reset is that it'll ensure that you're completely stock before the OTA. having a rooted rom with all of those tweaks that anyone will generally install can cause many complications, so just to keep the process straightforward, rather do it. Leave it to download overnight By "nandroid backup of system", do you mean a complete backup or only of the system partition? Because, you need to make a backup of your data partition, not system. A complete backup will also do.

It's not hard at all. First, you have to backup all of your stuff on your phone (the easiest way is through recovery mode, if you already have flashed a custom recovery).
Then you have to perform a factory reset (this will delete EVERYTHING, so make sure you made a backup before this step). You also have to do this through recovery (in CWM recovery, there is an option available. In TWRP, you'll have to select wipe and there you can do a factory reset).
And finally, you can flash the zip file by selecting 'install' through recovery and selecting the zip file you want to flash.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them

[Q] freeze in cwm 6.0.4.7 when doing a factory reset

Doing a wipe data / factory reset in cwm i have:
Formatting /data ...
Formatting /cache ...
and nothing more, seems to be freezed.
Known bug ?? any trick ?
thanks
after a long wait (3 minutes ?): Data wipe complete
...
strange no ?
same long wait (perhaps more, 5 minutes?) after a /data restore ...
wtf ...
Yup, you need to wait above 5 minutes..
it's normal if you dont want to wait more try TWRP recovery
normal ?
what cwm is doing during all this time (and without notifying anything) ???

CWM is really slow. Try TWRP it's fast.
well, thanks!
But just to be clear: the data restore itself seems to be as quick as twrp, but when it finishes backup (last action displayed) it's "hanging" for a while.

I used twrp on my mortorola Atrix and it was possible to extract backup content on my pc with 7zip (.win files).
So perhaps it's a newer twrp version used here and backup files are criated in a different way ?
I also faced this strange thing when restoring with twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/help/issue-restore-twrp-t2836727
So I'm now using cwm ... but it is slower.

So perhaps it's a newer twrp version used here and backup files are criated in a different way ?
I also faced this strange thing when restoring with twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/help/issue-restore-twrp-t2836727
So I'm now using cwm ... but it is slower.

new backup method i think,
even if you cant extract with pc it doesnt mean that it doesnt work in recovery
i personally use twrp as i dont trust cwm and this is due to me using cwm on my first android phone till now cwm always failed with something and twrp worked fine always

I found a way to manage twrp backup files on PC: with TotalComander and renaming files as .tar
This wasn't necessary with twrp on Motorola Atrix (can be open with 7zip), but the version with Xperia is different.
