How do I push a cwm backup to my device

[rans0m00]

So did a factory reset on my nexus then reinstalled 4.4.2 then cwm then root. Now I want to copy my old cwm backup that is on my computer to my phone.... how would I do this?

Connect your phone to your pc using the usb cable and drag and drop it

Negative. The folder where CWM keeps the backups is not accessible like that.

Try this from a cmd window

adb push your file /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

pretty sure it should be something closer to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup
about to try this in a sec... just surprised there is not an easier way to get it on there since it was so easy to get it off

And pushing them to that location works.

Which location?

/mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup

/mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup

Thanks

You could just use airdroid and transfer it wirelessly. I had a problem on my old phone where cwm backups will generate corrupted md5 sums if I used a USB cable. Airdroid fixed that issue for me.

Can't access that location with airdroid as far as I know. It's a root location that is hidden.

What difference does that make? He has the backup on his computer, he just wants to know how to push it back to his device. Does CWM not let you browse for the backup files when you restore? If so, then that's all the more reason to switch to TWRP.

So use airdroid to move it to SD card. Then use root explorer or some other file explorer with root permissions to move it where you need to be. BTW ..my twrp backups are stored on my SD card.

After this experience with cwm I am trying out twrp. Too much hassle.

Cwm still doesnt use /data/media/0 for sdcard. It uses /data/media which is a 4.1 location.

I explain it all in my thread here

You can adb push to data media but its a ball ache. This is one if the reasons I like philz recovery. Its cwm based but implementing all the missing features and fixes that cwm should have.

Had some issue time ago, find two way, both with CWM
Renamed the .zip in .jpg (i know it's not safe but it works)
Then plug phone and moved file from PC to sdcard/DCIM then with root explorer or other file manager rename in .zip, moved to /sdcard, reboot to recovery and choose install zip from /sdcard from CWM recovery
Other was similar but used airdroid to send file to /sdcard
Never got an issue with both of this method

rootSU, I'm not sure how I missed seeing that thread before, but thanks. I've marked it for future reference because I know at some point, it's going to come in handy. btw, another vote for Philz here.

Yeah, its because it's not a sticky. I asked for it to be sticky but at the same time, I asked to have a "sticky roll-up thread" to replace all the stickies and have "sticky worthy" threads linked within it... and with that, the original request got lost

So wondering we have two votes for philz... I have never used it.... Always been twrp or cwm... What makes you guys want to use philz?

Its based on cwm so doesn't have the bugs and quirks (compatability issues etc) that twrp has but has all the functions twrp has and more...

Its a no brainer for me
