I just updated from android 1.6 to 2.1, and as I opened Backup and Restore, I overwrote by accidentally selecting backup instead of restore over my original save file, is there any sd recovery program or anyway I could undo this? really depressing lost all my contacts...btw I checked my sim, there are only 3 contacts there for some reason, and i do not have have them on Google sync either.

I recently updated to "Super Clean version 2.9 - EB01/EC16 Froyo leak root+Froyo Clockworkmodwith MALWARE protection". Don't worry about it being older or anything, we'll fix that once we get the contacts fixed. Regardless, I backed up my contacts to Dropbox with Titanium Backup Pro when I did this, as I didn't want to lose those, but that was it. I tried updating it on my phone, but nothing happened. First I only restored data, then I restored app + data (put older app on?), and nothing. I moved the files from Dropbox to my phone, the Titanium folder and just downloaded, and haven't been able to open them up with an app manager or restore them with TBP.
Help?
EDIT: Okay, not exactly sure what I did, but I got it. Opened up Astro, extracted the file there, tried to run it, said failed, then contacts magically appeared. Not sure how, but they did and I am happy! Guess this is a lesson for me to backup contacts via Google as well! Only thing is I can't use the return key to exit, I have to use the home key. Not sure if it was like that before or not.
Now if anybody wants to recommend me an OS update, feel free.
Somewhere along the line, I've wiped out all my SMS/MMS. Along that line, I...
Backed up the contents of the internet SD to my computer
Did a Titanium Backup backup
Did a ClockworkMod backup
Might any of these contain my messages and how can I restore them and them alone?
Thanks.
restore your ClockworkMod backup this will have your msgs in if you did a backup before you lost them.
When you have them back get sms backup and restore from the market then you can restore and back them up when you wish, ive been using it for ages and its always worked perfect.
Gah, the SMS aren't in the ClockworkMod backup.
I think they got wiped when I updated the OS via Kies. I had rooted after that, then done a ClockworkMod backup, but I think it was Kies to blame (its own backup did not work).
Im trying to transfer apps from nt 1.40 (rooted) and am unable to restore on cm7sd. Selecting the directory where the nt backup was copied results in the apps listed (with a strikethrough), but the button to restore will not show. Is there a specific way that they need to be saved under nt, or some other trick?
Nobody has tried restoring from a rooted nook on cm7sd?
I just tried a restore from Titanium Backup and it worked fine. I restored Astro, which I had previously deleted. For some dumb reason it even works now.

Did you save with system data, or just the app?

I've got TB pro, so i did a batch backup and decided before i flash any new roms again, that TB is working.
Backing up completes fine.
But it won't restore apps.
I updated to the latest TB pro, cleared my data and set app processing mode to AUTO, Indirect, but that didn't help either.
Any solutions?
Maybe TB can´t find the path for the backup? That happened to me when I flashed an ICS rom that changes the path of both internal and external SD.
I cant imagine how, i havent changed roms at all!
I literally just batch backed up all my apps, then uninstalled two apps and tried restore them but neither would restore
Got the same problem for a long time now..... Tried everything
If u made a zip file then extract it nomrally and install the apps
next time use nandroid backup.
Dont forget hitting thanks......
So I backed up all the system and user apps before installing the custom ROM CynaogenMod 10. I restored the user apps and it worked fine. Then I tried restoring the system apps and I had to choose to restore from either XML or system image. I chose system image, rebooted and the phone kept restarting. I then tried using the XML file to restore system files. Again the same problem; the phone kept restarting.
Out of the backed up system files, the most important one for me is the contacts. Is there any way I can restore only the contacts. I have the following files in the backup folder pertaining to contacts.
1) com.android.providers.contacts-1.properties
2) com.android.providers.contacts-1.tar.gz
3) com.android.providers.contacts-1.odex.gz
4) com.android.providers.contacts-1.apk.gz
search for contacts.apk in titanium backup app... tap contacts-restore-app and data....
Is there any other way to restore contacts? because this is not working for me. I have installed s5 glamuruos rom on my s3.
