"Couldn't Open Directory" When Attempting to Restore a Backup

I made a backup of my ROM and flashed a new ROM, however, I want to go back.
When I attempt to hit "restore" in Nandroid backup, it says "Couldn't open directory" "No files found."
I'm running ClockworkMod Recovery V6.0.1.0. I also are unable to flash any ROM, or access my files (they won't mount.) I think I may be screwed,
My SD card also has a weird glitch, something about a folder named "1". In that folder I can find my backups under the clockworkmod folder.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thank you

Sounds like you flashed a 4.2 ROM and then it created the multiple profiles folder. I think other people have had this problem, try searching for the /0 folder problem on google and xda and see if they can help you better than I.

Seems as I need to update my recovery. How do I do that?

If you can boot into a ROM, then download goomanager app and give it root permissions. Then open the menu and select install openscriptrecovery and it will install the latest TWRP. However, if you prefer the latest CWM, then you'll have to download it from the CWM thread and then flash it through fastboot.

[Q] (Q) Safestrap and CWM

I have Safestrap downloaded, but I was wondering about CWM. Is safestrap the same thing, or would I need to use CWM in custom ROMS? I've looked but couldn't pull anything up. Just wanna know what the safest rout would be.

Safestrap is for phones with locked bootloaders since we have unlocked bootloaders now Safestrap is no longer needed which is why CMW should be the route you take CMW also saves sapace by only have one rom loaded on your internal sd instead of having a stock rom and a custom rom like safestrap did.

So it seems I am gonna download cwm then. Thank you :3

[Q] software update

I rooted my HTC one and there is a software update now that I tried install but whenever I click install it takes me to the recovery screen. Is there anyway to install it or would I have to unroot it first?

the problem is your "unlocked" bootloader. you can only get OTA updates with a "relocked" or "locked" bootloader.
just use fastboot and type in "fastboot oem lock" and it should work if your still on stock-rom.

Would it be named "OTA_WL_JB_spcs_wwe".zip

what are you trying to install? an official OTA update or a zip-file which you downloaded?

The OTA. I havent downloaded any roms at all I'm still on stock
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

so you've downloaded a zip-file which contains the OTA update, right? if yes, you'd just have to flash this file in your recovery.

As I understand it, Your phone has a OTA available via [Settings - About - Software Updates]
You have downloaded and tried to install - but it boots the custom recovery instead of the stock recovery.
To fix this you would need to install a stock recovery.

Hope that was what you was after.

this was what i thought too, but then he mentioned his zip file... when you do an OTA via settings, you should never see this zip...
but i agree with SolCenva, flash stock recovery, lock your bootloader and it must work..

[OTA] [KITKAT] For 98.18.94 stock phones

I had my phone download this and then just copied it off. My phones build was 98.18.94. Not sure what the difference between this and 98.30 is. I'm rooted so I haven't installed it but it's here for anyone that wants it. My phone downloaded a different version than I found online. It was version 182.46.10XT907.Verizon.en.US. I don't know what other phone builds it will work with. Either way use at your own discretion.
Here is the update for phones running 98.18.94

Did anybody try it with unlocked bootloader?
Bootloader still unlocked or OTA relock it?

My understand is that it should leave the bootloader unlocked. It will replace the recovery, radio and other system partitions. If you removed anything from the /system/apps folder then I think it will fail/abort install. I've removed some so I need/want to RSD back to stock and then update but if I do then I'll lose root which I use.

Yes, and with SELinux and some other enhancements in KitKat I wouldn't even take a future root for granted.

Posting updates on how to use this thru the stock recovery.
This is how it is supposed to be used:
1 - Flash LATEST stock SBF of JB thru RSD. (Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US)
2 - After RSD flash reboot phone on stock recovery and proceed to install update from SD card, here select the file that is provided at the beginning of the thread.
3 - After this first flash completes, phone is going to reboot in recovery again, to open the menu of this specific recovery, the combo of the buttons is power + vol up.
4 - proceed to install from sd card again and select the same file that you selected on the second step.
5 - Wait for it to finish
6 - Wipe data/factory reset
7 - Select restart system, Phone will restart in KK, enjoy guys.
Keep in mind that you have to follow the explanation at the beggining of the thread or this one, if you dont follow this steps like this, you wont be able to install this update or you wont be able to finish installing the update.

is this the offical KK update?

Yes it is official. Like I posted earlier, its OTA from Verizon.

I doubt it. It's for stock phones. It will need a stock recovery I do believe.

Hmmm..
My razr is stock & rooted, and I have manually removed several bloat apps. If I attempt to this update ota could it cause any harm to my system aside from possible abort/update fail? Will it remove root? Gracias.

It won't install... or its not suppose to.

My understanding is you can retain some root functionality using SuperSU Pro's Survival Mode. I believe you'll still lose R/W capability.
The best approach would be to unlock your bootloader. I've heard some success with custom recovery, though stock recovery would be best bet.

This method did not work for me after i flashed back to 98.30.1 the stock recovery doesnt see the update and i just get the android logo. When i go to software updates the service is unavailable/

my bootloader has unlock. and does it mean I can have root permission after I flash the stock zip package?

OK here it is, black and white and very simple:
Bootloader Locked - NO ROOT, NO CUSTOM RECOVERY.
Bootloader Unlocked - CWM Recovery and FULL ROOT with SuperSu.
That's it, no if ands or buts.

Android M 6.0 update {sprout4}

Here is the android m update for all variants {sprout4}. This is official captured OTA. NO NEED TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER, UNROOT OR OTHER ****!! JUST FLASH THROUGH CUSTOM RECOVERY
Philz is preferred
To Flash (steps)
1. Download 6.0 ROM
2. Put the ROM.zip file in your SD-Card.
3. Now reboot into recovery.
4. Backup your current ROM through custom recovery.
5. Now clear all system data, cache( you know what I mean)
6. Now flash the ROM.zip from SD card.
7. Reboot(take time for first boot)
DONE!!!!:thumbup:
