Hi, well i had a crash course in flashing etc last night after messing around with a LCD Density app. I was running stock 2.2 and after messing around my streak would not get past the dell logo (before animation)!
Managed install Clockworkmod and Dj_steves 1.9.0!
Luckily i was using Titanium Backup Pro when i had stock and i am slowly getting back to how i liked before i buggered it up!
Just got a few questions...
1. Whatsapp restore messages!
I restored the app and it said it was restoring messages but it doesn't. Then i thought i would delete the app and install a fresh copy from the Market, i let it install and it said it was restoring but again nothing! Using Root Explorer i can find the large restore files on my SD Card but have no way to bloody restore them. It's driving me crazy! Does anyone have any ideas???
2. Am i using the best ROM? like I i have always had stock rooted so have not kept up with the scene!
Hope someone can help, i'm just not very experienced with flashing, restoring etc. I'm a IT Tech though so not stupid, will give anything a go just need my Whatsapp Messages back!
Thanks!
Cant help you with Whatsapp but I can recommend ditching the Titanium backup and Clockwork MOd.
Once you get it up again, flash StreakMod recovery and use MyBackUp Pro.
Clockwork and Titanium don't play nice with the Streak. And in my opinion yes, you are using the best ROM, IMHO
I'm actually having the exact same issue with a Galaxy S II - has whatsapp ever solved this for you? I contacted them - but have yet to receive a reply.
Really annoying...
Hope my thread help you, although your problem occurred 4months ago...

Okay, so I've switched from .62 to MIUI and now I can't install SE Backup & Restore, which is stupid, considering the PC Companion still recognizes my phone as an MT15. I succeeded in installing one version for the X10 (found here on xda), but it doesn't do jack, it sees my backups but doesn't want to restore them (when I select one, it just goes right back to the backups list).
So, is there any way to install the original one? Unknown sources is ticked, btw. I've tried everything, downloading from 3 or 4 sources, installing to internal as well as SD Card, nothing works. I couldn't care less about the apps or the messages, but I really need the contacts.
Anyone know what could be wrong here or if there's another app to open sbf files?
I hope you took a backup with cwm.If yes restore it back and backup your contacts to memory card.Or use app like mybackup pro
If you didn't took a backup with cwm,then flash back to stock rom and restore backups you made with SE backup & restore.Then take a backup with my backup pro and move back to miui I guess.I am not sure app my backup pro works on miui or not tho.
Well, that sucks.
I was kind of hoping there was some sort of workaround for this issue. Isn't there any way to open that file? Had I known it was such a piece of junk, I would've backed up using different apps. I really don't want to flash the old rom since I just installed this one...
Thanks for the reply though

Well flashing back the old rom for 10 mins is nothing that hard,so do it I guess.btw what is this SE backup and restore(got no idea what is this tbh) ? Also MyBackup pro didn't worked with Achitjan semc debrand rom for me,so you should use something that works in miui to backup and restore I guess.
same problem here anyone has the solution
Alright, first of all, yes, I'm a noob here, however I am not a noob to forums. I did search for similar problems but to no avail. Moving on..
I just recently put CM 7.2 on my dad's Droid X2, I had it working flawlessly and everything was fine. Created a nandroid backup and all was good.
Today he wanted to restore his phone back to that original nandroid in order to get his recipes and notes from some app that didn't transfer over (I was unaware, or i would have saved them) when he did so he restored it and everything was going fine until the phone locked up with "dynamic config335.data" on his screen. Apparently, it locks at this and needs a battery pull to fix, and the restore never occurred.
We ended up doing this a second time and the same process occurred again. As I never had to deal with this with my DX2, i'm not quite sure what to do.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
You could try to sbf and then restore the nandroid.
DD you do not ID the restoration agent is it TB? Or what?
Ok so the error occurred after the suspected nandroid?
Here is where I get confused
"(I was unaware, or i would have saved them) when he did so he restored it and everything was going fine until the phone locked up with "
Restored it w/ cwr?

You'll have to slow it down with the acronyms until I know them all haha
After I rooted his phone, and before I flashed CM7, I created a Nandroid. After he's been tinkering with it for the last few days he realized he wanted some files that did not get transferred over.
He decided to restore to that nandroid and while it was restoring it got stuck with that appearing on his screen. It never finished the restore.
Luckily I had him make another nandroid before messing with it so I was able to get CM7 back unharmed however he still wants these files...
Do you guys recognize this error? It just happens mid restore
Never seen the error. You could just have a random error. Maggard.
...may have the best advice.
If you have Titanium Backup you could try using it to restore just the data that he needs. TB has the ability to restore files and data from nandroids. You may have to have the paid version though, I'm don't remember for sure.
Alrighty, i'll try and mess with it. Thanks guys!
I have had Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable installed on my s2 since December, first time I have had a real issue with it. This morning when I turned the phone on as soon as it gets past cyanogenmod boot logo I get a number of force closes the first is always Calendar storage and then Acore. This is followed by media, superuser, droidstats, email, whatapp, clock, google play, bluetooth share and titanium backup these are in a random order but always the same apps. Once I force close them the phone goes back to the boot logo then the force closes start again,in an endless cycle the phone is pretty much useless. I have access to download mode and clockworkmod but I would just like a way to backup my contacts and sms messages before I do a factory reset, or possibly a fix for the issue?
Any help appreciated =)
Plenty of apps on Google Play that enable you to backup/restore your contacts/SMS/call logs. I'd definitely do a factory reset.
I have apps installed for backup purposes but the FC's messages don't allow me to access them =/
Hmmmm. OK. That's a problem then.
I guess you could try flashing CM7 over the top of your current setup & hope that fixes things but it probably won't. So you could do a Nandroid backup in CWRecovery then do a factory reset or do a completely clean/fresh install, and from there you could use something like AppExtractor to restore your contacts/SMS/call logs from your Nandroid.
I attempted to recover a old backup but a got an error of md5 mismatch in clockworkmod. I have created a backup of the current system but the same error pops up if I attempt to recover, I did this to check if the backup wasn't faulty. Will I still be able to use the appextractor with this error?
If I can ill attempt a clean install of 7.2 that just got released and recover my contacts in the way you suggested =)
Good question. I don't know. Couple of times I used AppExtractor when I was running GB I didn't have any of the problems you're experiencing so I guess you're only going to know when you try it.

happens to me also
but still no luck with the solutions available ..
Hello everyone,
I just got my S3 yesterday and have already rooted it and attempted to use Titanium Backup (TB). I was able to successfully restored a couple of apps, but the bulk of my apps wont restore. When restoring I am not receiving any errors, and it appears as it is processing/restoring them correctly, but when it finishes it says (it does say Restore complete), the apps do not appear in my app draw and in TB they have a line struck through them (typically means that it sees the backup information but it is not installed on the phone).
Anyone have any ideas?
Im on Sprint 16gb S3 and am coming from rooted OG Evo. I use the Root method found here
Thanks for your time and help
Maybe they are not compatible with ICS?

Did you try rebooting your phone?
Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have tried rebooting my phone and still no luck. I came from CM9 on the EVO so there shouldnt be a problem with ICS (unless there is something that I dont know). Thanks though.
I did download one app and it was a lot of steps but was able to restore the data for that app. I am going to see if I can find the files for my sideloaded apps and restore the data that way.
If anyone else has any idea why this isnt working in the first place I would love to hear about it. thanks
Did you try manually restoring the apps? Titanium backup won't mix old data with a new version of the app or vice versa. If an app updated and you have old data backed up with the app, you would have to manually restore the app if I remember correctly.
Thanks. I tried but it wont let me manually restore them. When i click on the app, the option to manually restore is not there (it happens both when I have or havent manually downloaded the app). I can see that it still says that the current rom/phone is my Evo. So i am wondering if that has to do with it....just really strange. wondering what i did wrong.
Check out titanium backups website and Check the troubleshooting page. I think it talks about transfering apps from different phones.

Hiya guys, nice to be on a new section of the forum
I've got a bit of a problem.....
Just bought a SGS-III and traded my old Xperia Play in for it. Before trading it in I did a full Nandroid backup, and THOUGHT I had backed everything up using Titanium too, however, my messages weren't backed up
I had some messages on that phone that I need to get back, so have been trying everything I could to find them in the Nandroid backup and add them into the system og my new SGS-III.
If anyone can help it would be great!!
This is something REALLY important to me, and for once I am really begging for help.
I was using Go SMS and Go Launcher Pro on the Play and I have already downloaded Go SMS onto the SGS-III.
The XPlay was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and the SGS-III is on 4.1.2.
I have now tried AppExtractor from the market, and using unyaffs to get files from my back-up. Neither have worked for me
Found this and tried it, but still no luck

I did this yesterday using Titanium Backup for my SMS/MMS
You need to go into Preferences and check the *Migrate system data [Experimental] option
Then you go to More - Extract from nandroid backup
There it is listed as Dialer Storage
You can probably do the Phone log this way to but I did look for it.
I would recommend you do a current backup of [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage before you attempt this.
