[SOLVED]Data gone after crash ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I exited a game and my phone screen go black (it crashed) so I had to press power off for 10 second but i got a bootloop when it booted.
I tried to wipe cache/dalvik cache but I was stuck at the part when the phone was preparing all the app for boot.
So I made a backup and restored a previous backup. Now can I restore my data from the backup by browsing it or what ever to restore my sms or some game data ?
Thanks

[Q] Is my nandroid restore not working or am I doing something wrong?

Ok I made a nandroid backup on my s2 Gti9100 a few days ago
I then tried to do a titanium backup and my s2 rebooted, I then recieved fcs from a load of apps constatly making it impossible to do anything. I was barely able to turn off, i had to keep taping ok untill i got to power off window.
Then I booted into cwm, wiped cache partition and dalvic and did nandroid restore, i then booted up, no fcs, but all my apps on sd came up in my app drawer and home screen with that grey android icon saying this app is not installed on your phone!
went to recovery again wiped cache and dalvic and data/factory reset
then restored system and data and still had the same problem!
what do i do
please help
p.s. i have not partitioned anything for use in apps like link2sd, no ex whatever
are you doing restore from Advance restore, as you mentioned " then restored system and data....." or from the main restore menu?
Did not you use the Titanium backup for your applications?
Do Not restore System Data is the usual answer to this problem .

Yes of cosrse, if he is doing his restore from Titanium back up,
but OP's concern is about his Nandroid backup, which is a photocopy of his earlier ROM, NO option to avoid system Data restore unles he goes into the advance restore of CWM....

yes i am using advanced restore
and it was titanium backup that caused my problem in the first place, while i was trying to backup
all my settings are stil here aswell as the apps in internal. I think only the apps moved to sd are messed up
could it be a problem with .androidsecure? should i delete this and let nandroid replace it after restore, or does nandroid even backup that?

I dont mind what method you think of aslong as I can get back to that point
would it be a good idea to extract app backups out of nandroid using titanium, just an idea, i just saw it in its options
if its complicated please explain as im not a phone expert
it is not complicated but a good idea if you have Titanium backup pro (donated version), otherwise you cant...when you selct that option you will automaticaly get prompted the list of applications to install....
By the way why are you selecting advance option for restoring....?
do like this, wipe cache, wipe data fatory reset, and in advance wipe dalvik cache,
go back to Backup and restore select restore at main menu (no advance restore) and select your backup and restore....finish all your stuffs are back....

I dont know while backing up if there was any arror which is causing the problem...can give the treble when you use TB also...
will tb replace app stuff in .androidsecure or sit beside taking up x2 space?
I went to extract from nandroid in pro and when i select my backup the list is empty, app, data, app+data

hmmm, that is why you are not getting your apps back when you do nandroid restore...
your backup was not done smoothly, only your system data backed up well not user apps...bad luck
so ive lost it all?
Should i delete .androidsecure, is it just junk files now?
great news!!! turns out all my personal data was kept, I just reinstalled everything and it wae back to normal
p.s. i think the cause of nandroid backup fail was lack of space on my phone, how can i backup to external sd?
If you use the CWM app you can choose between internal/external SD for the location of the backup.

Wipe is not needed when restoring in cwm. hope it helps.
so i have reinstalled all my apps, could there be junk or corrupt or duplicate files left on my phone? in androidsecure? or should these fix themselves or been replaced?
Thanks very much for the help! much appreciated

why you are so worried about such temporory files...
be happy that now your all apps are back.......as far I know wether you delete such dump files or not will not make any difference,
dont delete the contents of the folder "clockworkmode" especially the "backup" forlder thats all...
ok thanks
was just worried because of the size 1.7GB and no apps on sd
but i suppose ill manage

Try restoring apps without data. Or if you need the data, don't restore system apps with data. That will most likely fix your issue
ill give that a try .. Thanks!!
When using TB, I usually only backup apps with data, but I don't backup system apps with data. The system apps with data usually would give me issues. Just my experience.

DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA!! That is your problem. If you are switching roms you are overwriting what ever the rom developer put in the rom when you restore system apps and data. Only user apps should be backed up and restored.
now that i think about it .. that totally makes sense.. thanks alot!!

Your text, call log, wifi, and bookmarks can be backed up to xml and restored from xml. You can also backup your sense(the one that say desktop), most of your screens will return the way you had them.
Anything else is trouble.

[Q] Unfreeze/Defrost without Titanium Backup

Hi there!
Using SGS 2, Rootet, CWM-based Recovery 6.0.3.1, AOKP-Rom patched with OpenPDroid
I was experiencing some Battery Drain and found an app that was using CPU all time.
Used Titanium Backup to freeze that app.
The app was "Einstellungsspeicher" (Guess something like "Settingsstore" in English) and it was NOT marked as system-app. But still i haven't installed it manually.
Unfortunately the system wasnt able to boot afterwards.
Id like to keep my data, so a factory reset is not the first choice, but the last resort.
Is there anything i can do to unfreeze/defrost the app?
[Q] Can i just flash the patched AOKP-Rom again and the system-apps will be restored (and the normal apps will still be installed)?
[Q] Is there a recovery-zip i can install to defrost all apps that are frosted?
[Q] Can i defrost it manually?
[Q] When i made a backup with CWM after i freezed that app, can i install the rom, then recover the "normal apps" by doing a advanced restore? what would i have to restore in order to not restore the frost-state?
What kind of data u want to save?
I think u should check ur choosen ROM for auto wipe during install feature.
Look the thread and name the ROM btw
If its non autowipe u should just flash it again from recovery without any wipes. all the user apps will remain

Thanks for that. I flashed it again, but the system still wont boot up. At least i got my boot animation back, so i guess the system-settings have been reverted already. (I disabled that animation in the settings before)
Since it still wont boot, I guess the question is still how i could possibly defrost the app from CWM.
The flashed rom was http: -- aokp.co - devices - i9100 Milestone 1 (2013-04-16)
I want to keep the app-data i stored since the last backup (which was when i installed the rom last time, a few weeks back).
If i could backup that data for certain apps now, i could make a factory reset.

BTW Uve got a Titanium Backup for freezing, but did u have any apps backup made?
try clear cache and dalvic in recovery after flashing rom.Reboot
If u made cwm backup with normal boot try advanced restore. Step by step trying to restore parts
U can upload cwm backup somewhere and send me a link via PM. Ill have a look

Getting important data (call logs, whatsapp messages etc) from CWM backup?

I'm having an issue right now. Somehow made my device go into constant bootloops [edit: not bootloop, but rather the boot animation plays forever] (I was on temasek rom, and kernel, flashed boefffla, came back, somehow after a few various flashes). Now I get bootloop even when all I do is install the rom, without a custom kernel. Made a CWM backup from that, and restored to an old backup.
Now is it possible for me to extract the relevant data from my newly made CWM backup? I only need stuff like call logs, whatsapp messages, messages and etc.
PS. Currently making the CWM backup. I tried to resolve the bootloop by wiping cache, dalvik cache but to no avail. Gonna factory reset and restore to an old CWM backup soon.
Hey
( I havent tried this but) u can use philz recovery..it has an option for custom restore..

Philz recovery you can use advanced restore to restore data from a backup but I don't think you can restore single app data (I maybe wrong on that) I have used it a few times without any problems.Also the paid version of Titanium Backup you can restore individual apps from a backup:good:As for the individual data not sure but I presume if you restore the apk it will restore the data for these apps..Maybe somebody knows a little more
Have a look for "Nandroid Manager" in the play store.
I haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works...

Any data in a backup can be extracted so long as that data isn't corrupt. Multiple "nandroid explorers" available

Thanks guys. Used nandroid manager, and got my smses from it. Well, second time I'm facing this issue on Temasek rom. Reinstall of the rom, kernel, resetting kernel settings does nothing.
Looks like I have to reset my device to factory AGAIN for the second time in 2 days.
This is crazy. I gotten this issue no less than 10 times on CM10.2 Maybe I should go up to CM11 again, but 4.4 has so many incompatible apps (easy voice recorder for me).
Nandroid manager doesn't work properly. It says "success" on restroring whatsapp, but doesn'tactually work right, since when I test it by uninstalling whatsapp first, and then restoring using the nandroid manager, it asks me to reverify my number when I open the app. (if it restore properly, it should not ask you to reverify number, like in TitaniumBackup)
why dont u try to do it with titanium? i guess it should be easier

try restoring the backup via titanium backup by selecting
batch restore->restore apps with data->deselect all-> find the app by name you want to restore data -> run the restore
and you should be back to your lost memos
i think that should help .
if not tell me about your phone firmware and build and the cm you are running

did u perform restoring the backup with battery at more than 70%? if not trt it out .
After yhe phone rebooted as you say. did it work out?

I've had some lost notes as well. My cwm backup file wasn't corrupted, but I still thought it was a lot of effort for a list/note or three to cwm restore twice. My conclusion was that it sadly was the only way to get them back. Restoring an app (through titanium) like notes will only work if you're on the same rom. So it should work on your s2 with a factory reset only. My guess is you should fix your titanium backup if it's not restoring properly.
I tried to look into the titanium backup files of my note app with no success but maybe you're better than me.
Its my battery problem it is spoiled sometime when I use camera phone restarts..
You gave the right solution Thank you for your time
cheers

you can maybe check the battery replacement options or maybe try a different rom as some of the rom have a bug that causes the phone to restart or go in a boot loop when any app is launched
also u can get your kernel settings checked cause they might not be compatible with the rom
battery replacement is recommended only if its run out of its recharge cycles
happy that i could be of help to you
hit thanks if i helped
