So I bricked my Galaxy S6 by wiping the system, data, boot, and all that. Before though, I made a nandroid backup and move the files to my MAC in a folder. But when I try putting the nandroid files back into the empty SD card, I won't show up in the "Restore" option! The kinds of files look like these,
I just want to restore the rom files. Not the data, how would I do this on a mac? I am currently using JOdin. Could I install md5 through TWRP? Is that even possible?? Please help!
My experience tells me that for TWRP to detect backup files the latter should be in a directory whose name would be shown as the name of the backup and that directory in turn should be under:
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial>/
Here, replace <serial> with the serial number of your device. You can find the serial number of your device using the command:
getprop ro.serialno # prefix adb shell, as appropriate
E.g. my backup files for the backup named 13-09-2016.Weekly are under:
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/X1JE45FGI3/13-09-2016.Weekly/
