Okay, I was going to post this in the Dev forum under the TWRP thread, but I have less than 10 posts...? So it didn't let me.
I created a backup of my LTE via TWRP (not sure what version it was, definitely 2.X, but not sure exactly which) and switch phones out with Sprint and am trying to restore the backup, but it won't show in the Recovery section. I played with the settings a bit...pretty much selecting every option possible, even made a copy of it on the internal SD card, still nothing.
Any suggestions? I really don't feel like spending another week and a half getting my phone to the point of where it was before, and titanium backup isn't an exact copy even after I threw the ROM on there and restored everything.
Thanks!
maybe its the folder, it saves them in some weird name. i would suggest making a back up of say... /cache or /system. something small. so you can see where the folder is made. Delete that folder and put your back up in it.
Good call! Thanks man!

I would definitely do a backup of your existing rom before trying to restore that backup from a different phone. I think it may work, but I don't think it's recommended. I would just use titanium backup when switching phones.

im a little confused as well when I browse my sd card using an app i see /mnt/sdcard and i see twrp in there but thats not my actual sd card there is another folder called /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/ and that holds the contents of the sd card which is where twrp should be saving the backups im confused why and how there are 2 directories.
can someone explain how the storage works on this phone because it seems different from my OG evo and the 3d
edit I found a bit of an explanation over here for my question.

I flashed a JB ROM to my stock ICS ROM on my international S2 and my imei number keeps coming and going for away, it'll be there one second and if I restart it'll go away then come back randomly. I can't find any solutions anywhere, do you know what could be the problem? Anyone have a solution lol? i cant flash any ROMs, too scared to brick my phone

So you were restoring nandroid backup and you lost your phone's IMEI? No never happened to me. But you should have made a backup for it dude!
Edit: Okay got it. Install Root Explorer pro and check whether the efs folder is there or not. Set the same permissions from another I9100 and then reboot. Set the same permissions for each file in that folder and the folder itself. If you have made a backup in the form of .tar file then use HC ktool to restore your efs folder. It would automatically set the permissions required!

no thats not what happened. I rooted my 4.0.4 using Odin and Siyah Kernel v5. Straight after rooting it, i downloaded GSII_repair from the app store and backed up my efs. Then i downloaded Titanium and backed up everything. Then i went to recovery mode and made a back up. I finally flashed the Resurrection ROM v3.1.3, i rebooted, everything was working fine, like imei was there and so was signal, i restarted my phone and my imei number went away, so i used the GSII_repair app to restore, it worked fine. I restarted my phone again, imei was gone yet again. So i decided to go back to my stock ROM back up, imei was gone, i restored, everything working fine now. Just not sure whats happening because i have rooted phones before and that has never happened to me, every time i restart, imei goes away, sometimes it comes back, sometimes it doesnt. What has happened? just reallly confused. i have a back up of my EFS though.

Oh man that is really heart wrenching. Atleast you made a backup before messing with your phone. Okay now can you restore your efs? If yes then restore it and download HC ktool and make another backup for it. Then restart your phone and if you lose it again then restore it using HC ktool. You can try EFS Pro from your PC as well.

They are two different tools I guess for efs backup and restore. HC ktool can also make backup for your kernel that your are currently on!

just restarted my phone and checked, the imei number is showing. i didnt have to restore or anything. Is it safe to flash a ROM now? or any risk of brick? thanks for your help btw
I also lost my IMEI no after a flashing a rom, as far as I was aware I had never made a backup of my efs folder, I attempted many different methods to resolve this, then I checked my external SD storage and saw an EFS_BACKUP folder with numerous compressed EFS files, I simply selected one of the early ones copied to my desktop and extracted contents and used them to replace my current efs folder on root of the phone, then reboot and you should have your original IMEI and phone working again, hope this helps goodluck

I get your point but with your IMEI coming and going, it would point too corrupt efs files on the root of your phone, given you have tried various methods already, I would take a copy of the suspected corrupt efs folder save it onto your pc, then go back to the root folder and delete it, replacing it with one from your EFS_backup folder on your external SD, no need to edit any of the internal files or use any other software, simply reboot

But do note down the permissions of the folder. You will need to set the same after pasting. Use Root Explorer for replacement purpose.

Hi There
Such a great program is the Nabilab thank you!
Ive tried to serach the forums but am getting burried under so much info that I dont all fully understand, please forgive my ignorance. Im also not even sure if I am posting in the right place (trying to do this at work when boss isnt looking which is hard).
I have a backup and restore question please related to UK version of the nabi2.
I downloaded the full version of the nabilab tools software including the stock condition to my PC. I then ran the full installation (option 1) and all worked brilliantly (little trouble with the drivers but solved).
But now, 4 weeks later, the nabi has lost wifi which I understand from reading is an issue with OTA (which I didnt know about and hadnt realised was turned on).
So from what I can tell, I need to basically blank the nabi2 and then restore it. But I have just had the thought, is the stockbackup file within my internal SD card actually a backup of my own system created when I ran the tools setup/installation (which I think is the case), or is it a copy of the downloaded stockbackup that came with the nabilab tools and was automatically copied across during the tools installation?
The reason for asking is that I just thought, that because my Nabi2 is a UK version (I did update the OS as instructed before running all the nabilab tools installation) then if the stockbackup is from the downloaded pack, and thus not UK, then trying to restore that might cause me problems with the UK version and maybe the uk nabistore??
Would I be better going into Nabi parent-mode and using the option in the settings to reset to factory defaults (will this work to restore nabi to earlier version?) or am I ok to use the stockbackup that is sitting on my internal sd card?
Should I use twrp to "wipe" first before trying any backup or should I just run restore?
Do I use the nabilabs menu to try and do the restore or should I go into TWRP to do the restore?
Id really really appreciate any help please as Im very new at all this and not very knowledgable. The Nabi2 is my sons. He is 4 and has autism and doesnt have any communication or language so doesnt understand that his Nabi ran out of storage space thus I used the root to be able to use an app swapping internal-external sd cards for more space. His Nabi means everything to him and its starting to look like it will help his communication, he doesnt understand why parts of it are now not working which leads to huge upsetments (really huge) and we cant explain to him that it will be fixed soon, and so im desperate to fix it as quick as I can.
Please any help would be wonderful.
many thanks for even taking the time to read my post.

If you look in the TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserial/ folder the folder called "stockunrooted" should be your Nabi's backup. A folder called "abcdstock123" is the stock backup the Nabilab would create, but it will only create this if you ran the restore "Nabi to stock" from Nabilab. Honestly before you do anything else, if you find the folder stockunrooted COPY THAT TO YOUR COMPUTER. I can't stress that enough, we don't have near as many UK owners here. If something goes wrong we have plenty of north american versions the users here can get for you, but not many if any UK ones.

I would definitely try and restore your stock backup if you have one. I have no facts on this matter but the UK store could react negatively to something such as your build.prop being different. Also there might be a difference in WiFi configuration as I think there are some differences between power in channels 12 and 13 outside North America. I would avoid restoring the Nabilab one unless it was a last resort. If you don't have your stockunrooted, someone out there likely has a UK backup. We would be better off seeking them out and seeing if they would upload you one.

-Either a factory reset, or restoring the stock backup of your Nabi(not the stock from Nabilab) should work. A factory reset won't revert you to an older Nabi revision it will simply wipe everything from the tablet, and leave you on whatever version you are currently on. The restoring of your backed up version will more or less result in the same since you upgraded before backing up. However the major difference will be your backup will have the Nabi setup done, where a factory reset will erase it. Also it will WIPE your stockunrooted backup that I talked about at the beginning, we don't want that without you copying it to your computer first. So you skip the step of setting up parent mode, and your wireless password would likely be there so you would save yourself 2 minutes.
-If you restore your stock backup of your tablet, and restore boot, system, and data there would be no reason to wipe first. Although out of habit I always clear cache and dalvik cache anyway, even though it gets wiped by the restore. No need to clear system as TWRP will format that partition before restore anyway.
-Go into TWRP. Select restore tab. Find folder called stockunrooted and select. Restore all. Boot, system, data check. I assume you have gotten into TWRP fine but just in case: From powered off, press and hold both vol+ and power, then select recovery kernel.
-Or you could just do a factory reset. The differences I highlighted above.
-Either option will break root, and gapps. To get them back use options 3 and 4, instead of 1 like you did last time in Nabilab. Gapps only, Root only, since you would already have stockunrooted no need to make a second one.
Thank you so much for your reply the info is invaluable.
Sorry for spelling your name wrong.
Sorry also for posting this in the wrong place (as I have since found from browsing)
Thanks again for the help.
Ill backup the stock to my pc, then will try using twrp to resotre that backup and then use the nabilab again to root. Then I guess its simply logging into the nabi and google store to download any missing apps.
Thanks you so much

PANIC
Oh no ive gone to the folder on my nabi through the usb cable and the stockunrooted folder appears to be empty.
I did choose option one when I did the nabitools so I just dont understand why theres nothing there.
When I looked into twrp last night it seemed to think there was a backup there for stockunrooted so I dont know if its dissapeared or whether it was never there in the first place.
PANIC
As there is not supposed to be many UK nabi backups out there (and im time limited due to my son relying on the tablet) am I now only left with the factory defalt reset? (not quite sure how to do that really)
I know I cant use the one in the nabilab because that is USA version.
Please help

I would go into TWRP. Then in the advanced section use the file manager. Navigate to /data/media/TWRP/BACKUPS/serial/stockunrooted and then see if it is blank or if there are files in it. boot.wim boot.wim.md5, etc etc
If it's gone then it will have to be a factory reset.

Hi
Did that, folder empty and no files in it.
Have done a factory reset and YAY all good.
Have re-signed in to nabi account, have redone the root using nabilab, have then installed the ext-to-int sd card app and the big card is now in memory.
So now its just a case of sitting back and slowly reinstalling all the apps from the nabi store and then the google store. Once all thats done ill then go into TWRP and do me a proper full backup.
Phew!
Thank you so much for your help it has been invaluable. My deepest gratitude!

UK Nabi 2 Rom
Hello All, I`m looking for a UK version of the 1.9.37 rom after wiping my daughters Nabi, forgetting to make a backup way back when i was rooting it last year. I`ve tried the stock version but when it tries to do the second of the two part ota i get the dead robot and Nabilab doesn`t see it when connected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey everyone. So I wanted to try out the vanilla root box ROM today and after a while of checking it out I decided to swap back to the back up I made before doing the ROM install. Problem is, when I boot into recovery, and press restore...non of my backups are there. Can anyone help? Where did my back ups go?
ok, sorry guys, i was on my phone at a friends place when i posted this thread so i wasnt able to search to much on google. so the deal is my TWRP isnt seeing the backups i did after i rooted my note 2 and the backup i did before i flashed my vanilla rootbox rom. kinda weird. anyways, i looked thru my phone files with file manager and the backups are indeed there...
does anyone know where i need to move these files to have them show up under restore in TWRP? i tried one method of making another backup and then moving the backups to where the new backup was stored. but when i go to look, the new backup doesnt show in file manager in the location where TWRP said the backup was stored...i even searched for it and still no dice. lmk if you have a fix for this. thanks!
i also went into TWRP, went to advanced, file manager, data, media, twrp, backups, the back i was looking for was there.
i tried moving it to the media/0 location like mentioned in this youtube vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ziillAA-I
it doesnt let me copy the folder over like shown in the vid. waited like 3 mins, then says it failed. then wont even try after each attempt afterwards, just goes straight to fail....
WHAT THE DEUCE!?
Ima connect the phone to my laptop and see if I can locate the newest backup I made and see about moving the older ones to that location. Seen if they show up. If anyone knows the actual location or fix for this do let me know. Seems that the newest version of twrp was suppose to fix this but I guess not.
ok so i figured it out.
somehow the first couple stock backups i made ended up in the TWRP backup folder on the internal drive of the phone.
the new backup was stored in the TWRP backup folder on my SD Card.
so after finding both locations, i cut the two stock backups i made and pasted them into the SD Card TWRPs Backup folder and BAM! they show up now in my restore option on TWRP.
ok just to confirm, my first nandroid backup flashes correctly. but the backup i made before i flashed the vanilla rootbox rom some reasno fails...i dunno. im just happy i got my backups to show up now. and at least one works. ima try and get the one backup to work again but well see. hope this thread helps someone out if they are having this same problem.

Sorry I am late to the party... But in twrp at the top of the screen you can change where to get the backup from its a bar that says data(xxxx) however much space you have left.. Tap it and you can. Go from internal to external memory and search any folder. Doesn't have to be in the twrp backup folder either... Just for future references... Again sorry probably could have saved you time and effort if I saw this earlier.

Follow instructions in post 8.
For fellow googlers out there: if, like me, TWRP shows only the "internal storage" and the "SD card" options but you can't see any folder, even though your backup is there, check if it's the serial number of the phone! Your backup should be in TWRP/Backups/<serial number>/Name of the backup. If you saved your backup in another phone, you need to check the serial number and rename the folder with the serial number.

In fact, the correct path where all your disk image files (data.ext4.win etc.) have to be stored, is /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial number>/<name of folder with disk image files>, so BACKUPS in capital letters.
TWRP does not "find" your backup otherwise (tested with 2.8).

lets do this again. i have the threat all typed up with details and closed it by an accident.
anyways
I have htc one max 8060-t6dug Chinese variant without OS. HTC-1
I had issues with this one, it came with bloatware and lots of it. some of it is pornographic. (got kids who play with my phone)
i decided to root, got the TWRP Recovery. flashed with latest SuperSU. got titanium pro (paid) to get rid of unwanted bloatware. i guess i missed out on something. as soon as i connect with wifi. it starts to download apps. and formatting doesnt help. so i thought maybe repeat the process. BUT in recovery i accidentally wiped system.
i have been through xda developers forums completely found some roms but dead links.
went though several other sites without any luck.
went though Chinese forums (Baidu i think) found some firmwares but TWRP gives me error trying to flash it.
i have tried to flash these with adb command, but mostly get remote not allowed error or space not allocated error.
came back to xda forums and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-ruu-htc-one-max-809d-t6dwg-sense-5-t3006498
i know this is for t6dwg variant.
t6dwg and t6dug are both Chinese variants and dual sim. i have tried all roms listed on this thread. TWRP Flashed it fine but now when it boots up and gets to lock screen, when i unlock it it show HTC white screen and restarts after a min or so.
I went to the store and purchased another htc one max, same variant. HTC-2
i thought maybe make a nandroid back up and flash it to HTC-1
i repeated the steps and got HTC-2 rooted, latest TWRP, and made the back up. but i am unable to flash it into HTC-1
HTC-1 rooted with latest SuperSu, latest TWRP recovery, unlocked boothloader, s-off, cid-11111111
issues, NO OS!

HTC-2 rooted with latest SuperSu, latest TWRP recovery, unlocked boothloader, s-off, cid-11111111, boots perfect,
issues, bloatware

lets not forget its been about a month since i am trying to figure this out without disturbing developers and wasting their time. this is my last resort
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Anyone out there to my rescue?
@waqas9240 So you made the backup with TWRP? Why not backup to an sdcard one the working one. Place the sdcard in the non-working one and do a restore.

@Flyhalf205! I know i can always count on you for this. yes i used TWRP to make the backup from the working htc and stored it on SD card. and pushed SD card on the non-working Htc but it doesnt recognize it in restore mood in TWRP. i can see the file in Install method that if it has been compressed, but it doesnt let me flash it.

Now if I remember correctly inside the TWRP folder will be another folder. The folder name could be the the serial. You'll have to get onto a computer and verify that the backup is in the correct folder inside the TWRP folder.
A good way to verify. On the non-working device, do a backup on just the boot to the sdcard. Then see if you can plug both devices into the computer at the same time to see the directory layout. Then you can copy the backup into the right folders.
Once you bring up TWRP on the non-working device. You should be able to select and swipe to restore perfectly.

thats what i thought at first. i confirmed the path on both phones. i even got to push the back up in the non working htc to restore from the root as it was located in the working htc max. still does the samething. the second folder after TWRP is serial number folder. i even renamed the serial number to the non working htc ( i dont know if that would have made a difference or not) but still running the same issue. i dont have both phones on me right now. they are at home. let me finish work and will try it again as you explained.
meanwhile if you can figure out something else that would be great bro!
Thanks
