Hello!
First of all, i have the Huawei IDEOS X5 running stock rom with android 2.2.1.
Let's go to the point.
Some days ago, something went wrong with my phone and it couldn't boot. (Details here)
As i was told, i took a backup with CWM (in order to recover later lost data) and i managed to restore an OLD backup and the phone seems to work like a charm. My major concern now is how to get some data that are stored in the data.img .
After some reading here at XDA, i successfully extracted the content of the data.img and located the files that i want to "restore".
And here is the question, is this possible?
If yes, what should i do?
FYI, at my PC i run windows 7.
Thank you in advance for your help!!!

Since you restored a rom, then the data was restored also.

Ok. All you need to do is choose the "Advanced Restore" option to independently choose the data.img to be restored.

i forgot to mention it, but this was the second thing that i tried. (the first was to clear the cache )
Neither of them worked, so, i assume that something is wrong with data.img .

as i said, i have succesfully extracted the content of data.img (detailed how to).
my problem is that i don't know how to send them back to my mobile!
finally i made it!
it wasn't that difficult, but i didn't know that with es file explorer you are able to see the root folder!
To sum up, if you want to restore some app data (app settings, sms archive etc) you first have to extract the data.img file (guide here), then you search in extracted folders the directory data/data/[your_app_name] for your app data.
Then you simply copy the whole folder to your sd and with es file explorer you move it to the correct place (/data/data/[your_app_name]). Overwrite if asked and restart the app if it's running.
easy huh?
thanks for all the replies folks!
Hi,I want to install the Videos app(the stock player) from this rom:http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=PTR&os=1&type=1#firmware
the latest version:I9100JHLPC I9100PTRLPD
to my rom:VK--ICS-XWLPO-V5.1.3
1st of all,I need to uninstall the app from my device...How?
2nd How do I extract the app ?
I saw this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979199
Thanks.
Sorry...Can you move this thread to Q&A forum?
??
Firtsly root your device.
To uninstall a system app use SystemApp Remover.
To backup/restore a system app use Titanium Backup Pro.
Curious, why do you need to uninstall it from current if your objective is to simply install it on another? To install on another just backup/restore using TB. No need to actually "uninstall" it from previous rom.
Thanks.
My device already rooted.
To remove my current Videos app,I'll use SystemApp Remover.
But how I'll extract the Videos app from her
Code:
I want to do this exchange bacause the Videos app that I want to install has a better support with the kind of subtitles that I use...

Dude, You already have the answer, I tell you how very clearly, stop bumping thread.
Ok...sorry , I misunderstood your penultimate post
I installed Titanium Backup
In the app ,I have the option to uninstall the Videos app,Is it enough or I must to use SystemApp Remover?
In another device,I'll use Titanium Backup to backup the Videos app that I want...
The backup folder(/sdcard/TitaniumBackup/) has 3 files within:
1. .apk.gz
2. .properties
3. .tar.gz
I'll extract the 1st file to my pc and move the VIdeos app to my phone.
Thanks.
When I try to install the Videos app...The message that shows up
Code:
Replace application
This is a system application. Do you
still want to replace it?
All previous user data will be saved.
I press OK and press install when I get 'Do you want to install this application?' message.
In the end,I get 'Application not installed'
What I need to do?
Thanks.
Restore it using Titanium backup PRO. How many times does it need to be said?
I wont be replying again, I'm sick of repeating myself.
I'll strat from the beginning...
I have two SGSII devices:
The 1st running VK--ICS-XWLPO-V5.1.3

In 2nd device,I backup the Videos app and move the apk file(extracted from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/.apk.gz) from 2nd device to 1st device.

Move the titanium backup folder to 2nd device sdcard, load up TB, go to preferences and set folder location. Go to batch mode (top right corner of main screen) use restore option. Done.
There is no guarantee that the apk is going to be compatible with 2nd device/rom though.

Ofcourse you have the setting, you're obviously just not looking properly.
Preferences>Backup folder location.
Once you have scanned/selected folder you will see what you have backed up in the batch screen and have option to restore.

The app probably needs more data than just the files, something that tells it to use the files. A setting perhaps? the files should be downloaded trough the app.

I think you will have to download it again trough the app, I can't think of any way around it. Unless You had a titanium backup

I am a language student. I have had to download the offline language pack a whole lot of times but unfortunately for me, I like to flash my phone a lot. I have tried putting the downloaded files directly in the folder but it never works. Are you sure this will do. I am yet to try it. When I get a strong WiFi connection I will do it and see. I just flashed a new ROM
Cool

Hi there.
Yes there is a solution and I know it.
I use it all the time when changing ROMS.
This works but you MUST NOT update for a new version from Google Store.
I explain.
1. On the version you are in of Translate make a backup of the folder you mentioned in your post. Keep that safe somewhere.
***Note: If you upgrade Translate version from Google Store you must delete the old folder and make a new backup.
2. You can make a Translate backup with Titanium Backup of that version as Google Store might change version and you won't notice.
***Please note that recovering the Titanium Backup file alone will not make it work.
3. When you flash a ROM do the following:
a. Recover your backup from Titanium Backup of Translate.
b. Move and replace the COMPLETE folder .com.google.android.apps.translate and obviously delete the other one. [When you replace it just replace the whole folder in Android > Data. What I mean is don't go into the .com.google.android.apps.translate and replace from within the folder as the folder changes structure when a language is downloaded]
c. Reboot into recovery.
d. Wipe ONLY cache and dalvik.
e. Reboot and enjoy Translate.
***This works if you stay on the same variant. For example, from Lollipop based ROM to Lollipop based ROM.
I have the suspicion that if you go from Lollipop to KK, or vice versa, it might not work because of the logs on the .bin file on the folder I mentioned.
I never tried it.
Also as I mentioned, you can then upgrade Translate but don't forget to make a new backup of the folder.
Enjoy!
Hi there,
I'm new here, so it's my first post and I hope I'm in the right place to ask here
Yesterday my girlfriend accidently deinstalled one of her favorite apps from her SGS3 (via Play Store), it's a game and all its game data is stored internally as it seems. No backup or anything else has been made before
She just reinstalled the app from the Play Store and opened it just once, but did not do anything else yet.
I've already searched the forum and googled around a lot, but did not get any appropriate answer to my question:
Is there any way to recover the lost app data to make her happy again?
I've already tried several apps from the Play Store like: Dumpster, Undelete, DiskDigger, Hexamob Recovery but nothing worked or even could access the internal storage or was just able to maybe recover lost pictures or videos.
Device info:
I've rooted her SGS3 I9300 and recently flashed it with CM 10.2 nightly (playing around with the phone while waiting to buy myself a new one )
I really hope there is someone out there who has an idea or just gives me an appropriate answer.
I'm not a native speaker so my apologies for every mistake I maybe made
Thanks in advance!

you also said the phone is rooted. enable root option to the file explorer and then you will be able to copy/cut/paste the data on the system. my preference es file explorer. menu> root explorer> mount R/W> set permissions to RW. then you will be good to go.

Maybe I was not clear enough. I tried your suggestion and searched for 'smurf' to find any data, now I got several files and folders containing 'smurf'.
I think the data was deteled while the deinstallation of the app, am I right?
Hard to answer this, but in which files will the app data be stored and if it is deleted, how can I get it back?
I found a solution, she did do a backup without telling me, 2 months ago...stupid little... my bad or better: her bad.
Thanks for your help so far!
Thread can be closed now...
Just FYI, without that backup, there would have been nothing you could have done.

Now that's what I wanted to know
I already thought that there might be no way to get the data back, due to the storage structure / filesystem and even to the fact that she reinstalled the app and started it (main data has maybe been written at that moment, so the old data blocks have been overwritten or so)
Really thanks!
I just rooted my Sprint Note 3 using Kingo and wanted to restore my Need for Speed Most Wanted data using Titanium Backup. I have version 6.1.5.2 so. Well...the game just force closes. I'm think this problem was resolved after a certain version already. The phone is rooted only on stock MJ4. I tried using the restorecon command in a terminal anyways and have removed and reinstalled several times in trying to get it going. Any thoughts???

I also have this problem on my note3 kk 4.4.2 and did not found solution
I just had a thought. Now that im on 4.4 NAB & running into restore issues there. I was able to restore dungeon Hunter 4 but had to use helium to do it. Helium only had the data. So I installed it then used helium to restore its data and it worked. I figure can try that with need 4 speed.
Sucks cause I never backed nfs with helium. Although I may try to restore it in an emulator then back it up with helium then try to restore on my phone.

I restored my game on a galaxy mega 6.3 and it worked of course being rooted and older version of android. I then backed that up with helium onto the SDcard.
Moved that back to my phone then tried to restore it. Still a no go. I tried it again but restoring data after starting the game normally like I did with Dungeon hunter 4. Still a no go. So idk....There is something different about nfs. Not sure...

I had the same issue of FC with my Helium backup of NFS.
The solution was to restore the backup and then copy out the file 'nfstr_save.sb' from /data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_row/files/var/. Then remove the app completely, reinstall cleanly and put only that file back again. (root required)
Really? Hmmm I will try that

Having the same issue anyone solved it as yet?
So far no doing the last suggestion only causes the game for me to pop an error of an invalid save data. Due to this I have since stopped playing the game. I been playing Summoner ' war. A bit addicted to it. If anyone decides to play it let me know I'm Snyperninja in the game. I'll add you if u Need friends in the game. Play it you'll see what I mean.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I too just had this issue. I was surprised the titanium restore prevented the app starting.
Anyway, I tried to copy the save game file from my titanium backup right into the proper location, force closed the game and opened it and everything came back. I didn't have to uninstall the app at all.
I know it's an old thread and everyone has probably moved on but my searching brought me here and the advice helped me fix it, so I'm leaving this note here for anyone else who might stumble across this thread.

This is the what happened:
Backed up in Ti
Flashed, wiped, restored
Game Exited without loading
Found this thread
Cleared Data on the app (which also cleared all the additional files)
Game redownloaded the additional files
Started the game as if it were a new game
Signed into Origin
Extracted the saved game file from the .tar.gz and put it in the right location
Killed the game process and started it up again and my progress was restored.
Okay yes..... this works

I have tried everything with this F__kin backup system, and still cannot get my "progress file" loaded. It reinstalls, but I have to start from the beginning, which is soooo f---kin aggravating. I get access to my cars, when I do the Origin login, but I have to re-purchase them all over again. I know there are hack tools to get money and SPs, but I don't want to do that because I really enjoy the challenge. Could you please explain what you mean by "proper location." Where exactly did you place the titanium files, and which ones?

This worked like a charm! I'd almost banged my head against the wall as this would be the second time I'd have completed the entire game and lost the app data due to rom swap.
The steps I used was:
Restore the app...
Restore the data...
Cut out the file 'nfstr_save.sb' from /data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_row/files/var/ and save in a different location...
Opened up NFSMW and play the first 2 compulsory rounds...
Login to Origin...
Exit the game...
Paste the file 'nfstr_save.sb' back in /data/data/com.ea.games.nfs13_row/files/var/
(the game would have already re-written another copy of the file by now which you must overwrite)
Fire up the game again and you have your exact game progress back!
If you found this useful, don't forget to hit thanks!
The instructions from user iam breeze worked for me! Thanks!
It's so simple, most ppl rooting devices can't figure out such easy ops like find and copy a file.
By the way, needed rights for save game file are read & write ofc - 600
