Can't restore BART backup!!

Hey guys
I'm using the latest Amon_RA recovery. I wanted to flash a rom, so I did a BART backup. I wasn't satisfied with the ROM though, so I decided to restore the backup, but I'm gettin this error all the time
Error : Run bart via console!
How can I run bart via console? And how can i restore my backup?
no one able to answer ? really need some help
I've seen that "run ... from the console" error message trying to do a Nandroid backup on Amon_RA before and the cause was that there wasn't enough free space on my SD card. Once I cleared some room it worked fine.
Might be the same thing in your case. Try moving some some stuff off the SD card and retry the BART restore.

Nandroid backup

My S7 is stock HC 514, just installed CWM 3.2-4.0.1.4 and Superuser7. I did a Nandroid backup to my external sdcard. There were two errors reported at the completion concerning the external sdcard as if it tried to back it up. This might make sense as, how could it backup its content while writting to it at the same time? The backup was created on the external sdcard.
I was considering NVflashing to R2 and then CWM/R to R7. Has anyone tried to restore a Nandroid backup to go back to the original state? Will/should that work?
I have read posts mentioning "nvflash backup" but searching has found nothing on how to create a backup using nvflash.

error backing up image /sdcard/.android_secure

Every time I tried a nandroid backup , always come up with error while backing up image of
/sdcard/.android_secure
Can some one help to solve it? Now I can't do a nandroid backup from recovery.
The file (.android_secure) also can't be delete or change the permission.
TIA.

[Q] nandroid backup and titanium backup

I have a few question regarding nandroid backup and titanium backup.
1. If I do nandroid backup of original ROM and then I flash to another ROM, what happens if I directly do restore from the backup from another ROM?
2. What is the difference between nandroid backup and titanium backup? As far as I'm concerned, titanium backup only backup the apps + data. How about nandroid backup?
3. Will nandroid backup, restore all my current states with all the apps + data?
Thanks guys. I'm a bit confuse.

1. If you are restoring from the same android build version then you can directly do restore from nandroid backup.. that will bring your phone in the state you took the backup in.
2. Nandroid backup takes a backup of everything except SD card data... all settings, call logs, messages etc etc.. if you didn't delete anything from SD card then restoring a nandroid backup will restore your phone to your earlier state.
3. Yes, it will.. though it doesn't affect SD card data, so if you delete or add something there it will be like that.
That`s mean i have to flash back to my own ROM and then do nandroid restore. After that, i can get all my previous apps + data? Am I right?

Just to be sure.
First - Do nandroid backup of current original ROM (with apps + data).
Second - Flash to other type of ROM (GB, ICS, JB) for testing.
Third - Change back to original ROM.
- 1st - Flash Back to ori ROM.
- 2nd - Do nandroid restore.
Fourth - Get back original ROM with apps and data like before (same thing as in First)

Trouble restoring EFS nandroid backup with TWRP 3.0.0.0

Hi
After doing a nandroid backup with TWRP 3.0.0.0 for all partitions including EFS when trying to restore after booting up my device it I get an "invalid IMEI" error.
Looking inside the EFS folder I can see that most files are missing and only a default nv_data.bin has been created.
Is there another method to mount the efs.mtd.win file and copy his contents?
Or perhaps another method to restore it or at least understand why it's not restoring properly?
Thanks for any hint.
Vlad
