Can you open NAND Backup done with AmonRa?

I recently did a nand backup on the phone since I was going to Global RUU. since it was my first time flashing a RUU image, I was not aware it wipes out the internal storage, I had all my Titan Back-Ups there as well as other data I need

I tried to restore the nand backup but it gave me an error, not sure why but maybe because of the firmware version? I saw somewhere that once you RUU a version, you can't go back to an older one without S-OFF.

That's too much hassle for me at the moment, the data is not critical, but I would like to get my backups back if possible and to see what else I had on there since I had files all over the place between internal and external storage.

Much appreciated on any info anyone can provide. Thanks

I'm fairly sure the the global RUU has different firmware than standard ICS. As such you can't go backward without being S-Off. You should be able to unzip and then unyaffs a backup file though.

As always, this is amazing... thanks again... however I was out of luck, I guess I never backed up the internal memory because the back up folder was not in the system nor the data img files. oh well

I used power data recover 6.5 which works wonders on SD Cards, Flash Drives, Hard Drives... but geesh, I dont know how android formats because PDR recovered 0 files... not even corrupted files showed up :blink:

SD cards are formatted FAT32. Flash memory is actually harder to recover than magnetic storage.

Thanks for the unyaffs trick, Im sure it would come in handy in the future. I was able to see all the APKs for the apps I had installed.
