Hello....i did a restore on my phone.....all my contacts has been erased....is there any way that i could get back my contacts.....
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
The better way is making a sync with google account, so you never will lost your contacts
btw If u didnt make any backup...you cant restore them
u cannot get it back unless u saved it to sim card =))
Unless you backed them up, no. You can restore a nand backup (I hope you have created one) and then backup the contacts.
I made a backup....but i dunno know how to get there....

Ok, did you make a nand backup (i.e from recovery) or did you backup the contacts(i.e exporting them to sd card or something) ?
If it's the former then boot into recovery and choose restore, and your previous rom with the contacts in all it's glory will be restored.

I assume that you're talking about a nand backup only... if you have made one, reboot into recovery by pressing power+vol down+back button simultaneously.. from recovery go to backup/restore and select the backed up file to restore it...
Yea i mean nand back up......thanks a lot....will try goin thru these steps ....

Hey man I'm not one hundred percent sure about this but I don't think you can. You probably need to restore an old rom with xrecovery then reflash your current rom without it

Delete or Rename the file "data.img" located in "sdcarcd/xrecovery"
im almost sure there was a way. u have to rename some file on the sdcard i think.
thanks tho. yea i thought about that but dont really feel like it lol
Or just wipe factory data in xrecovery and wipe cache then reflash your current rom but before that make a backup using titanium backup then once you reflash your rom download titanium and press restore missing apps with data and your good to go

I made a nandroid backup and went flashing. Didn't like something decided to go back to mybakup which is actually stock rooted. But it says md5 missing so it won't flash. How do I get this done.....

Did you move it or rename it?
You may have either renamed it and added a space, or made a backup without enough space which means it didn't back up all your data. If it'd the first one, remove the space. If its the second one, your boned.

One other option ...
If you made a backup using CWM, then changed to another recovery ....it won't restore.
Recovery files cannot be mixed between different types..
(Learned that from rangercaptain)
Thanks brother ....g
hey Devs
is there a way to only backup apps akp and install after flashing of new rom in single step?

Note
Data will be in Internal storage of xperia S so data no need

You ask all the time it seems... And yes! There is the built in backup app and there is titanium backup.
And dont flash your phone to much... You will get bad sectors... Or brick it.
Read a little in the forum before asking about everything

Flashing a device never creates bad sectors nor bricks a phone mate.

Yes, but it's a good practice to keep a cwm backup always before flashing.
Cwm backup means..
What n all does it backups
Sorry for noon question

sony back up - default restore and back up program of sony (included in the firmware)
titanium - back up system and data same like sony restore and back up apps, but with more options. (with free and paid app from google play), can be used to restore single file.
clockworkmod (cwm) backup - back up of system, boot and data ( these are done in recovery), can be used to restore system only or data only or boot only.
1. cwm (if you are flashing roms) - really need this back up in case of error or not booting
2. titanium if you are restoring single file or freezing apps or converting apps to system apps.

No question is Noob brother!
Cwm is short for ClockWorkMod Recovery by Koush.
After installing a custom kernel you get this recovery. When the phone boots (if you have ulbl) you get a vibe+blue led+white glowing illumination strip all at once... Hit volume up rocker once.
You'll enter cwm.
If you choose backup option from there... It backs up your system, boot, cache, data.
In case of any mistakes or something in future you can always enter cwm and choose restore to bring your phone back to the previous state.
You can go to advanced restore and choose either system/boot/cache/data or all.
Thank... if helpful...

Hello!, I have a doubt aobut restoring backups.. do I need to wipe everything and format data and system? or just restore without wiping and formatting?

Restoring factory means the apps and data on phone (not sd card) will be erased automatically.... And backed up with stock apps....

Take a look at AppExtractor. It can read nandroid backups and you can choose which apps you want restore.

so back to the omega rom? or with new rom but phones previous data and stuff?
It will take you back to whatever you were on when you hit the backup button, Rom, kernel, data...the lot, as I previously said

yes but how do i install the mods just download the zip file and flash through cwm?
i have a fantastic answer for you...
if you flash a new custom rom and then you want to restore all the settings from the old one, you can go in Cwm mode > Backup and restore > Advanced restore > restore DATA...
in this way you restore only the app and the configuration of system...
i hope i help you!
so the app and the configuration from the old rom will be in the new rom ..??? .. wow! thank you for your answer!

Exercise caution doing this
Always make one before flashing.
Remember that full backups take a lot of space. Download titanium backup and backup user apps and their data, delete them and then make a nandroid backup. Takes less space and its a lot faster.
I curently have 2 backups. My stock ROM and a curently used custom ROM. Once my custom ROM is updated I delete the backup of the custom ROM, I update it, then make another Nandroid backup with the updated version that way it saves me a lot of space.

Use this with caution.
Its better to set you phone manually than to brick it due to lack of time, or doing it manually.
Stick with the basics, basics dont get your phone bricked. Trust me

I have restored data with no problem using Data only Nandroid backups for years .
But i always only restore data to a same build rom that is no restore of ICS to JB and no restore of KLP to JB .
On PC original factory rom + Nandroid copy of last known full working custom rom .
Worked on custom roms are backed up to ext sd card .
Worst problem i ever have is usually if i wipe something without thinking clear Nandroid backups and forget to update . Even then its only a stock rom Odin flash to start again .

I have restored data too. I haven't tried restoring data from CM to AOKP to TW, or vise-versa.. Or different Android version. Not knowing if it is a go, cant recommend it to somebody and then messing up their phone for not giving the correct info.
Keep it in mind buddy

In TiBu (Titanium Backup) just back up user apss (like facebook,twitter,games,apps downloaded through GooglePlay Store)
Run a batch backing up user apps and then from System>Apps uninstal all of them but TiBu. Just like that once you've returned from making the backup, open TiBu and select backups/restore tab in the top section again and press the menu/options softkey. Select Batch and then Restore all missing user apps.
No need to make a .zip file, not flashable through recovery.
