I backed up my current stock rom and flashed cm9 to taste it. That went perfectly.
Then after restoring, I noticed certain apps are broken(?).
Example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any advice to reduce this?
If you guys want to know which CWM versions I used then I am not exactly sure about that.
While backing up from stock rom CWM v5.0.+ and restoring from cm9 , CWM v5.5+
How did you backup and restore exactly? Out of CWM or did you do a nandroid backup/restore?
Nevertheless I recommend using titanium backup... It backups and restores also the data (for example wireless settings and other app & system settings)
Open TB, go settings/restore/restore from internal sd card

I did a NANDroid backup. > went into recovery mode and backup.
then back into recovery from cm9 and restore.
TB just for apps and settings. What if the you're not satified with the rom? Hence Nandroid.

I did not back up any apps from TB. Just nandroid.
any more suggestions? Did u guys experience something like this?
I always have an app or two that corrupts itself like that during Nandroid restore. But I also keep TB backups of my apps and restore the corrupted apps that way.

That, I think, is good to hear. Some guy on irc said my phone memory might be corrupted. So it's not just my phone.
I guess I should also backup my apps separately.
One more question, I tried backing up an app in tb from gingerbread and while restoring in cm9, it froze. I had to force stop it, but the app did not restore. How to deal with this?

Going from GB to ICS I believe you should be restoring only the app itself, not the data. If the app still won't restore it is probably not compatible with ICS.

Google will back up everything
1. Paid for applications ( I had a G1 2 years ago and after 2 years of not having an android phone, my aps from my G1 days were still around)
if your going to backup files, use the free version of Titanium Backup, I dont think you need root access to backup those files, if that's all your doing, but if TB doesnt work there are literally hundreds of backup applications
Also go to contacts, and export all of your contacts onto your sdcard, it would be a .vcf file that you pull from your sdcard once you mount it to your computer
I think you should be much more careful - the data needs a much more thorough wipe. Factory reset is definitely not enough.

flashing original firmware is a pain in the ass, alot of extra steps and crap you have to download, it would be nice if they just made a flashable zip for the orginal firmware, but they dont anyways yeah that's about it bud, your ready to sell it

Because it was a ****ty NOKIA phone.
about sd card, you could buy another card to be extra secure heh.
there are softwares out there where you can really erase your files so that they will be "unrecoverable". you might try it.
Ok, I have finally convinced my wife to let me play with her vibrant. I plan on rooting it tonight but before I put the new ROM on her phone she wants me to try to backup her apps. She does not want to lose all of her data for her current apps. Stock 2.2 is always freezing or messing up on her and she is getting really annoyed!
My question is this, in order for me to move everything over (app and data) is there a step by step guide for Titanium Backup so I can do this properly?
(When I did it to my phone, I screwed up and lost everything on my vibrant and I don't want to do this again.)
I know with MIUI it has a backup feature which is awesome and this is more than likely what I will put on her phone.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
It is pretty simple really. In Titanium just hit batch and backup all apps plus data. You can also choose to save the backup on external micro sdcard just in case.
When I did that last time it wouldn't put everything back I guess I don't understand the process
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
What exactly did it not restore? Hit menu and batch and you can see what apps you are going to back up. Similarly when you are restoring you can see the list and it also gives you option to restore the app + data or just the apps. Just make sure after making a backup that you have backed up every app that you wanted.
It shows you everything in batch menu screen.

Only one other suggestion I have is do not back up system apps. Restoring system apps + data doesn't work nicely with one ROM to another. Just use backup user apps menu.

When you do backups, the data is also included.
When you restore apps later, choose data+app.

If you are going to MIUI, use Titanium Backup sparingly. Do not restore any system (red) apps and do not restore apps offered in the ROM. When I first went to MIUI, I restored my apps one at a time rather than use restore all apps. I didn't have an issue nor did I lose any data. Also, do a nandroid backup and I would backup all the files on the phone to your computer. This way you can move the apps to the system/app folder if things go south. I hope she enjoys MIUI, I do.
How do I move the files to the computer?? What folder is it located in? Do i need to download root explorer for this...I have to completely redo her entire phone and I plan on wiping everything and starting from scratch, I believe somehow someway something was messed up and Miui did not install properly. I want to start her over from scratch like a brand new vibrant off the showroom floor.
Hook your phone up to your PC and pull off the folder called TitaniumBackup and put it on you desktop. Once you "clean" your phone, you can put all that back on your SDcard. Pretty easy really.
titanium backup has a dropbox option now which backs everything up to your dropbox.
and unless she's using google voice, she's going to lost her text messages. similarly with call history. contacts and wifi stuff should be backed up with the google account. so, like the picture posted above, just 'backup all user apps' then after flashing the new rom 'restore all apps with data'.
Backup and restore problem Titanum Backup 8.4.0.2 PRO / Galaxy S9 Plus
Hi
I have used TB 2-3 yrs ago and it wask ok..not many problems.
No I have a problem with all backup jobs I make..all of them not are marked with these smilies but ? ( I guess smilies means OK and no error backup and "?" means some error/missing in backup
And; when I restore a OLD backup With smilies, after the restore the smilies is away/missing and this "?" have apper instead of the smilies, so it seems that TB destroy the old OK backup after it is restored.
Can this error be a fail in options? Something I have to set in options for get it to work?
Hope for answerd ( and hope this quest is posted in correct group. If not, pls tell me
Regards
Rolf
Iv'e moved from Note to SGSIII
Backed up all user+data apps on Note,
Copied TB Folder to SGSIII Internal SD Card,
Ran TB (Pro, Purchased) and restored all user apps+data.
60% of the apps didn't restore, TB didn't complain, and if I click them in TB, i have "Uninstall" enabled, but no other keys active.
Something is messed up.
Edit:
Thanks to Zabalba,
the backups might be corrupted. Have you tried downloading one of the missing apps through the market and restoring Data only?

This worked for me, it's an acceptable workaround.
I have emailed TB, hope they solve this for other users.
Open TB let it get root close TB Reboot phone turn on USB debugging .
Try apps restore without data .

It might be hanging on a specific app. Try restoring one by one and see if you can identify if one particular app is causing the app to hang.

It's not hanging. The progress bar goes all the way to 100%
And I get a notification that Titanium Finished restoring apps.
Also, Tried one by one, no go.
Those that restored normally on the batch restore are already there, those that didn't won't restore one by one either.
the backups might be corrupted. Have you tried downloading one of the missing apps through the market and restoring Data only?
I had to restore in smaller batches (30 odd apps at a time) to avoid it hanging on me.

It's a good work-around, thanks you.

Won't it mess up anything if it's a different CSC?Also, considering CM10.1 is android 4.2, how would you go about restoring to stock since the sdcard pathways and some others are different?I think of going this way
Go to download mode, flash stock ROM, go to recovery, wipe user data and cache, and try to start the phone now.Is this good?
Format data sdcard system cache and preload ,then install stock rom .

Thank you.Can you also link me to the stock recovery?I want it to go back the way it originally was. so I can send it in.

If you flash a full stock Rom with Odin you'll downgrade to stock recovery.
I see.I forgot to mention, I also have a backup made by CWM from the stockrom, but it's in a different location now because it's been moved by installing 4.2.I have PhilZ touch recovery already installed on it.Is it also possible to restore from CWM(after wiping the beforementioned partitions, ofcourse)?
i'm just afraid to use download mode as I already have the faulty eMMC's and using DL mode triggers that.Or, getting stuck on NAND write start.
You can only flash stock roms via download mode, so its a risk you have to take. You can't use Philz or CWM to flash.
What ROM were you on when you first rooted?
I was on the stock 4.1.2 android and I still have a backup from it but like I said its now moved to the sdcard/0 path.I'm still on CM now and I have philz recovery atm.So is it possible to restore it like that?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
If you were on stock 4.1.2 before root, you have a safe bootloader so you can use odin.
Sure you cab restore nandroid backups from recovery. That's the whole point of them.
It depends WHY you want to restore though. It's rooted and won't restore recovery so it doesn't restore warranty status. Its pretty pointless. Infact its entirely pointless. like I said, depends what you want. There is only 1 way yo restore it 100% stock, as previously mentioned

I appreciate your effort in order to explain that to me, so thank you for that.I know that when it dies it's dead for good, and I don't think they will be able to detect the software that was on it, so I have just put ARHD on it, I know it since the old days on Desire HD(which i still own), it runs great, both on the DHD and on this now.Thanks for your troubles, but I'm sure to return to 100% stock whenever now that I know this info.Thank you all!
I just applied an RUU to my phone to reset back to 4.3 stock in order to get the 4.2.2 update. I had HTC Backup making daily backups, but it doesn't do anything. Shouldn't it restore my apps and settings like my Google device do?

yes it works
did you download it from play store and run it ?
It's already on my phone in Settings --> Backup & Reset. I set it up to backup when I first got my phone using HTC account, and I see the last backup dates change to confirm it's doing a daily backups. But I don't see how to restore the last backup?
After Googling this, I think I should be getting an option to restore from backup when I first boot my newly stocked phone, but instead, I get that AT&T Getting Started interface with no option to restore.
