Sup guys,
I got a little problem here, I want to have my old back up back cause my agenda/calendar is there. I need it badly before this friday so I thought i'll restore the back up with CWM. At the end of the restore progress I get an error.
Error restoring /data. So I tried the next:
- Deleted dalvic-cache of the backup.
- Installed 4.1.2 back again and tried restoring
- Used same CWM version with back up and restore.
Would you guys help me outta here, I really need that google agenda (all things were saved on the phone, not online. )
Thx
Did you update to 4.3 then restore a nandroid from 4.1? If so then then the internal sd card mounting may be your issue, try formatting the internal sd before restore.
Or use titanium backup/philz recovery to restore just the files you need from the backup, instead of the whole thing. If you you had used Google agenda then it would all be saved in your account.
Good luck.

Thank you for your reply. And yes, I tried also to restore the backup from 4.3 but it didn't work. So I went back to 4.1.2 and neither that worked.
About the philz recovery. With which one can I restore just the files I need? THat would be great.

ANd yes I didn't save it online, but saved on my phone. With the thought aahh I already made a back up of everything so no problem.
alternative:
you could try the app "nandroid manager". it is able to browse through your nandroid backups and to restore single apps together with their data.

i am new to all this but managed to flash kh3 and root it.
i paid for the pro version of titanium and backed up everything on my galaxy s2 but it backs up to SD. isnt this the internal sd storage and thus would wipe when flashed with another firmware?? i looked into the CWM that came with the firmware but this is just a recovery console isnt it?
i guess i need some guidance of how to properly backup but maybe i want too much. i really was thinking along the lines of a ghost image of everything even things like APN settings etc.
any help appreciated guys.
The sd card isn't wiped when you install any other firmware.
The recovery console has a backup/restore feature, it makes an image of the firmware and software that's installed on the phone.
when i clicked the backup part of cwm it took me to the recovery console where it had factory reset, wipe partition ( or whatever it said) etc etc, i didnt then see it do a backup?
cheers mate

Sounds like you only have Recovery console & not CWM. If you had CWM, you would see tons of options.
I always have a backup of my current ROM in CWM it's absolutely essential in case things go wrong which they have on occasions, i also back up my apps weekly witt Titanium Backup and delete the previous backup.

kh3 from intratech's thread.
i downloaded rom manger and did the top option to get the latest cwm i think but when i tried to backup it errored and i had to press home to restart??
I just use titanium, backup all my apps to external sd card.
Format phone or install a new rom, and just restore all apps with 1-click via titanium.

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but what the heck.
I have Titanium backup and it backs up to Dropbox. Now if I Flash a new ROM, how do I go about restoring the backup?
In WinMo I have a backup program that created a zipped up file of backups and a small exe file that unpacked and restored the files (complete restore, ROM upgrade restore, etc).
Should use both!

Batch restore.
Left button at the bottom of your phone > batch
Restore all from there.
If you set your folder location to an external sd card, you can format or install a new rom and your apps wont be touched. You can do a batch restore of all your apps from within titanium.

Well that's your problem, your using a stock kernel, use cf-roots kernel that has cwm already built in.

Combine titanium media sync with titanium backup and you are sorted.
I have set automatic backup once a week, all is then synced via dropbox when i connect my phone on charger. This way I also backup all the pics and videos I take.
One thing I was wondering is there anyway to have titanium and premiere key backed up initself....in the sense that whenever I restore I always have to go to market get the key and the titanium app then started restoring...maybe I could go to my storage install them from there then reinstall instead off faffing with the market?
apologies if this is a silly question
I have the key on my external sd card .

Hi all, i've been trying to restore my sms-es from a nandroid backup. Apps like appextractor do not work as my backup was made using the new method introduced in CWM 6. The data files are store in a file called data.ext4. is there anyway to extract my data? Thanks!
Use the app called NANDROID browser to find the SMS files (something.db I think, google "where are texts stored in android"), extract them to the sd card, and paste them into the correct system location.

Well AFAIK, CWM nandroid backup is backing up every single file what's in the phone's flash chip. System, boot, recovery and data (which contains database for SMS's too) so if other files are there, so should be SMS database also. Can't tell how to extract it from there since its using this new blobs structure now, but maybe there's a way..

I was wondering why appextractor wasn't restoring sms backups on nandroid.
I tried the TiBk and it works but when showing conversation list when opening mms app, the time of when the last message was received is the time when it was restored. all the sms's time/date are good though when viewing the thread.
EDIT: Nevermind, it works perfectly, date/time is all good in conversation view, just when it was restoring that it was messed up.
I can't find a program that can "explore" nandroid's made with CWM 6+ based recoveries, due to the change in format. Nandroid Browser and Titanium Backup no longer work for this purpose. Anyone find one?

Almost a month ago now so I'm not sure if you're still looking for a solution, but I've found that the beta version of AppExtractor v2.0 from AppsByAndy is able to read and extract apps and data from nandroid backups created with CWM6.
I went and bought a couple of his apps even though I didn't need them. Just for appreciation.
Oh and specifically I used the app to restore SMSes. Worked so well I'm going to use it for clean installs in the future.

Have you tried hooking up to a PC via USB. Then explore the CWM backup that way ?

Even that is difficult. I've tried using unyaffs but CWM6 no longer produces a data.img to explore / extract.
I can't post links yet (10 post miminum before I can link). If you can be bothered, do a Google search for "Koushik Dutta New ClockworkMod Backup Format" and the first link should be a Google+ post giving an overview of the new backup format from ClockworkMod 6.
Edit: seems I can link.

Hello!
I have CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3.1. A couple of hours ago, I made a NANDroid backup before flashin a new ROM. When I attempted to use NANDroid backup manager to restore my apps and data, the app said I had no apps in the backup. Upon reviewing the files CWM created, I discovered that it created several data.ext4.tar files. Is there a way to combine these so I can use the Nandroid backup manager to restore my apps. I've managed to restore call logs, text messages and wifi data but my apps are important too
Thanks in advance for the help ^-^
EDIT: I do realise I could probably use CWM for restoring but I want to restore specific apps and not the data. (I.e the recently updated hotmail app)
Plus, restoring with CWM flashes data that is incompatible with the new ROM.
full back up or partial back up

As far as i know Nandroid backup is used to restore previously backed up ROM+installed applications+app data . If you jus want to back up some application, just use something like "Titanium Backup", it workes great.
:good: If it helped you, Just hit the THANKS :highfive:
Titanium, Backup (TiBu) has an option for extract from nandroid backup in its menu. why dont you try that if u have TiBu installed ..
Thank you but I solved my problen a while ago.

A nandroid backup is used to backup the system,boot,recovery... In case your phone is bricked but if yout want to backup apps just use an application like titanium backup
Dear fellows,
I hope this is a right place to ask my question here. If not please please tell me and head me over to an other thread where this has been discussed.
I've rooted the S4 mini successfully (thanks to arco68). Right after the rooting process and installing ARCO's CWM I backed up the stock 4.4.2 rom in any case. I did a factory reset and flashed CM 11 also successfully and everything was good. After a week I wanted to go back to stock. So I restored the backup I made previously. Everything went out good, but now the whole system is inconsistent and instable. I have problems with the WiFi, SD card problems and so on.
What am I did wrong? Any advise is very welcome
I will flash stock via Odin tomorrow and root it again. But I want to avoid this process in future
Thanks
Can anyone advice me on what can be done if anything?. I have a S3 LTE Gt-I9305 I installed Titanium Pro and CWM. Did back ups on both and then decided to only keep CWM and promply went on to flash my ROM. It looks like the Ripper ROM has loaded but the touch screen won’t work visually it works fine but to unlock the screen, nothing happens. What could be the cause?. Secondly is there any way to re install titanium back on the phone as I have titanium backup files and hope that will restore the phone back to normal. Any advice???.
CWM & Titanium Back backups are two different things. CWM does a nandroid backup which includes your complete phone setup at the time of backing up. Titanium only backs up apps (user & system) & data.
Hence if you want to return to your old phone's setup you have to use your CWM backup.
Maybe read some of the guides in the FAQ thread to get up to speed on flashing, backups etc. first before you move on!

Thanks!. I know they two different thngs, hence me asking if there is any way of restoring Titanium back onto the phone, as I think the reason the touch screen on my phone may not be working because there could be a system file missing which CWM has not backed up. And CWM won't restore Titanium files or not that I am aware of.

Sure you can restore from Titanium, but I guess a safer bet in your case would be to do a factory wipe and flash a stock ROM. Easier and cleaner way as CWM usually backups any file, would be strange if it misses a few.
anyone know how to restore just the SMS data history from Nandroid backup?

Mmm.... Thats the problem I have done a factroy wipe and flashed a stock ROM didn't seem to help. Not even too sure i might have even accsedentally deleted a file from the phone when it was connected to my pc. and without the screen working I don't know that I can re load Titanium as the screen touch pad won't work.

even if you deleted a file, you should be able to flash a stock ROM via Odin in Download Mode (as far as the hardware buttons still work).
If you really flashed a stock ROM already, you could still try to flash your nandroid via CWM (should also support navigation via hardware buttons or not?), and if this doesn't work I am out of options :-/

You don't restore data from one OS build to another .
But if you want to try you can choose advanced restore data only .
Any odin any CF root but use the same CWM as you backed up with .
Basic stickied faqs and guides are still free read them .

Don't restore system data but apps /data should be fine

If you still have the NANDROID backup from CWM than you can try ADVANCED RESTORE from CWM.
Go to Advance Restore and just restore the DATA from the nandroid backup.
It will just restore your data but it will not change your OS 4.2.2 But IT MIGHT GIVE YOU SOME FORCE CLOSES as the data that you backed up is from 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. But it is worth try. If it doesnt work than you can flash the whole backup again anyways... Hope it works...
