I created backup for my original 2.3.4 ROM in the ClockworkMod Recovery. After installed CM 7.1. The original ROM backup doesn't work in the recovery backup and restore menu's. I Started the phone, and the phone is restart all time.
What's the problem?
I need Original ROM.
Only smartflash?
Copy the attached file to your sd-card, install it from CWM, and then restore your backup.
I created some backups in the CWM Recovery --> Restore Backup --> Backup.
The Backups doesnt works.
ive had this happen to me too and figured out that, at least in my case the emmc and sd card got swapped, making it impossible for CWM to find the backup. also, there was an issue regarding a touch recovery version having problems with our phones.

Did you try TrymHansen's post already?
Can you post a copy of /cache/recovery/last_log

TrymHansen's solution should work. CM7 uses ext4 and stock uses ext3.

Same here I made a backup with 5.2.0.8, then flashed new BB, then MD5SUM mismatch when restoring...
Plus some strange behavior of the phone, I even thought it was bricked, impossible to reboot in smartflash mode, and finally rebooted alone in recovery.
Had to made a fresh reinstall. Grrrr....
If I have a nandroid backup of cm11 and then went to try out cm12.1 which requires a bigger system partition, would all my partitions get destroyed?
If so, how do I restore the nandroid backup? Would I have to copy it off to a computer, get a rom that boots, copy it back, then boot into recovery to restore?
Hi, I have flashed latest stock with rootable kernel, DRM Restore & SU zip installed. Took backup all the partitons using TWRP 3.0 Recovery.
If I want to restore the backup, can I restore all partitions? or Only few like System, Data & Caches?
HI,
I did a TWRP backup and then copied the file to my PC. After installation of a new ROM It seems this is not the way to copy a TWRP Backup to your PC.
Anyone know if I can reinstall from the files I copied from the phone?
Cheers
twrp backup is used to backup your current rom to restore when something went wrong. It backup the whole rom. It is not something you restore after flashing new rom.
Hi, I am new to this forum and also new to Rooting and Flashing.
Recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy M20 device with Magisk after flashing TWRP Recovery with Odin.
Now I want to take a nandroid backup (full rom backup along with all system settings and apps data).
1. On Backup menu of TWRP, should I select only ''boot'', ''system'' , ''data'' or ''System Image'' along with these?
2. And as I am taking the backup after rooting, will the backup include root access? I mean if I restore the backup later, will then the rom be kept rooted?
3. Is there a way to backup rom with keeping root access for my device?
(I rooted the device by flashing magisk with TWRP. Before that I flashed a zip file ''disable dm verify''. I actually followed a youtube video.)
Maybe your best anwer is here .... official TWRP website.
A nandroid backup gives you back the exact status of the moment of backing up.
In your first backup, backup everything except recovery .... and place this on your external sd-card. Depending on your version of TWRP you might be able to backup a system image (and if so ... then this is your best choise) and if you don't see that choise then backup boot, system, and data . Be sure to have chosen the right and latest TWRP for your phone.
Keep in mind that not all data are backed up, especially not the data on your internal sd-card. (make a backup of them separately !)
Make sure that an external sd-card is added to your phone !
