Restore non-synced Evernote data - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I wanted to install a new ROM but Evernote didn't sync all the data! I didn't know that, so I just deleted all the files (because I had many trash files), wiped, installed and then I realized that Evernote didn't sync my data.
I restored a Nandroid backup, but nothing.
I restored Evernote with Titanium Backup, but nothing (app+data).
What am I supposed to do?
(I've read all the similar threads but they're not really helping me with this)

[Q] WTF Titanium Backup

So I rooted my Atrix some time ago, and installed TB. Made a backup 2/23.
Motoblur ****ed up (no surprise) and I was directed by customer support to do a factory wipe yesterday. I didn't have a more recent backup than 2/23, so I reinstalled to that and then re did everything I'd done since then (dl apps, changes settings, etc).
So today I ran TB again ... I chose "Batch -> Backup all user apps + system data". I didn't think this would do anything other than create backups.
However, now my Motoblur is ****ed up again!
My home screens are all screwed up, my widgets are all mis-sized (1x4's are 1x1??), my contacts are screwed up, etc etc.
Has anyone else had this problem with TB? I'm running the free version ... I didn't think that creating (not restoring) a backup would screw up my phone ...
I know the immediate response would be to blame motorolla but I think that this is a TB issue.
Thanks.

Did you do a backup of the system and user apps? If so this is probably your issue. I've read to just do user apps and not system included with that. If you had an issue in the system files and you back that up and restore that it will replace the fixed files with the older "broken" files.
I'd suggest do a batch backup of apps and reflash again and then restore the app data.

+1, ive never had good results with restoring the system stuff... it will overwrite weird stuff in the system and you're always much better off just restoring the apps. PIA to have to reconfigure the home screen, accounts, etc... but it doesnt take too much work and things will run _much_ smoother...

Dropbox Contacts Backup - Titanium Backup Pro

I recently updated to "Super Clean version 2.9 - EB01/EC16 Froyo leak root+Froyo Clockworkmodwith MALWARE protection". Don't worry about it being older or anything, we'll fix that once we get the contacts fixed. Regardless, I backed up my contacts to Dropbox with Titanium Backup Pro when I did this, as I didn't want to lose those, but that was it. I tried updating it on my phone, but nothing happened. First I only restored data, then I restored app + data (put older app on?), and nothing. I moved the files from Dropbox to my phone, the Titanium folder and just downloaded, and haven't been able to open them up with an app manager or restore them with TBP.
Help?
EDIT: Okay, not exactly sure what I did, but I got it. Opened up Astro, extracted the file there, tried to run it, said failed, then contacts magically appeared. Not sure how, but they did and I am happy! Guess this is a lesson for me to backup contacts via Google as well! Only thing is I can't use the return key to exit, I have to use the home key. Not sure if it was like that before or not.
Now if anybody wants to recommend me an OS update, feel free.

Finding notes saved after wipe...

Hey Guys this is a dumb question. I upgraded and wiped my rom but realized I have a note that i didn't sync with my ever note that i really need. Before my wipe i did a nandroid backup and a titanium backup- anyway I can find said note without having to go back to my previous rom and running Nandroid (i upgraded to HC)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
You should be able to see them when you sign into your evernote account, you may have to sign out and sign back in again. If not, try restoring data for "notes" in TB..
Sent from my HTC Flyer.
well the thing is....it didn't sync with evernote before i wiped. it was a pretty new note. I did both nandroid and titanium back up before i wiped.
the titanium backup didn't really restore my notes >_>..
Think evernotes stores data on the sdcard but names are not attached to the note. Have you tried restoring + data from Titanium Backup? That is why the app exsists. You could do a Nandroid backup of your current system and then restore your previous backup.

[Q] Issue with Google Contacts and restoring backup

so here goes the story.
My dad's galaxy s3 had an Omega rom on 4.1.2
I decided to update with CM12 Unofficial from Temsek few days back. I didnt take any backup because there was nothing important there to be saved and I believed all the contacts are backed up to Google server.
So I flashed the latest TWRP and did clean install of CM12 and gapps and everything was fine.
But after logging into google and installing apps again. I reaslised all the contacts are missing! I have checked Google accounts and I cant see any contacts there. I am not sure what happened. Because I am pretty sure when I installed Omega earlier, contacts were backed up with Google.
In the end, I believe I have lost all the contacts ( 20 yrs worth of contacts).
But I found on my PC a nandroid backup of Stock FW from 2012 which I must have backed up using CMW.
My questions are:
- Do I have to flash Clockworkmod recovery again to restore the backup?
- And if I do successfully restore the backup, will the contacts be still there?
- Will there be an issue if I am going back from CM12 to Stock backup from 2012.
Please help guys. I don't want my dad to loose all his contacts!!
Instead of trying to restore the nandroid, which will lead to loss of imei and serial number, just use titanium backup to extract your contacts from the backup file.
thanks for ur reply..
but this will work even if it was not a titanium backup?
Best go read about titanium backup.

Titanium Backup wiped my google drive backups

Im trying to restore from TB - After a factory reset.
I had TB sync with Google Drive folder. It said "cleaning up folder". Come to find out , it was wiping out all the backup files. (luckily I have another backup on Dropbox) BUT...
Im having trouble getting TB to see any backups. All the apps currently say "No backup yet" and the [Batch action>Restore>RUN..] sections all say 0 (as in no backups).
I pressed "sync" with Drive in hopes that the backups would show up in "Restore from missing apps etc." but as I said it wiped everything from Google Drive.
I have successfully backed up twice and I have the .gz and .properties files in Dropbox now. How do I restore them if TB is not seeing them, and "Sync" wipes the files?
Thanks!
