I have a couple of nandroid backups from an older version of clockwork recovery mod. The first one is of the official Android 2.1 that came with my Hauawei U8100, and the rest are from a Cynogen ROM of Android 2.3. I recently updated my clockwork recovery mod, and now i can only restore the first backup fully, and the rest can only restore the ROM, but give me a "android_secure.img not found" error, and don't restore data. Is there a way to update the backup to the new version? Is the version upgrade even the problem?

No, there is no way to "update" the backup to make it compatible. Yes, updating CWM recovery can cause errors when dealing with backups done by older versions.
I see. I've tryed reverting to ClockworkMod 2.1.5.8, but i'm getting a simmelar error. Did upgrading clockwork break them?

Upgrading the recovery does not affect the backup in anyway. Maybe there was some form of corruption when the backup was done. Is the android_secure.img in the backup folder?
No, it has boot, cache, data, recovery, system
EDIT: That's what all of the backup folders have, and some work and some don't.

Well that explains the error. You could do an advanced restore (restore everything except for the android_secure.img). If you do this, apps which you moved to the sd card will not work.
But why didn't clockwork make them? Did version 2 not use those files? and why do the older backups work anyway?

As I said, there could have been an error. No, version 2.x.x.x did use those files. Maybe you didn't have apps moved to the sd card for the previous backups.
I installed cm 11 on my phone today and i am downloading titanium backup and it says Root access: XFailed
Install supersu
Root is needly working, otherwise you haven't to install a custom rom... but you already did it.
Try to reflash the rom. If you continue to have similar problems, do a Titanium Backup, then a Nandroid backup and try to do a full wipe via recovery.
If you solved the problem, reinstall Titanium and restore only important "data" (I highly recommend you install and config manually the rest).
So, obviously you can delete the Nandroid backup, it's heavy and useless.
If root continues to be problematic, do newly it via Odin.
You might lost all data: if it happens, restore via recovery your Nandroid backup.
I hope I was exhaustive

Haha, I said a madness... sorry.
You can use MyBackups as alternative. If root permissions fail, it will usually works (with the limitation of excluding applications data, for eventual Whatsapp conversations you can do a backup from itself settings).

The first attempt is this, you'll not lose any data.
If you not solve, do a full wipe via recovery, then reflash latest CM 11 and the Gapps.
Do as broken920 said and install supersu.
The superuser app built into CM11 uses older files and Titanium backup doesn't like them.
Make sure in settings, superuser, settings "Superuser access" is set to "apps and ADB"

once you have twrp flashed or side loaded, click the backup button. Then backup what you need. I believe the system partition is all that needs to be restored to get OTAs, but I'd backup the boot img anyways (especially if you are going to flash custom kernel).
The easiest way to get the backup off your watch is via ADB. But i believe you can use an app from playstore to copy from watch to your phone if you dont have ADB setup on a computer. Backups are saved to /sdcard/TWRP

thanks man just did the backup after installing twrp and everything is good.
Hi. I'm having issues with the battery life on my OPX and I would like to try some stuff. However, my OPX is my daily driver and i'd like to have real backups that can help me get back to business quickly if I make a mistake.
One such this is to try to turn off Google Services/Backup. However, how do I back up my app settings, then? How do people who go around testing ROMs and Kernels do it? Do they just blow away everything every time?
I'd also like to try other kernels, maybe even using a kernel manager, but I need root for that. After rooting, how can I update to the next OOS 3.x release? I'm on OOS 3.x, and for now I only want to be on OOS 3.x (no custom ROMs if I can avoid them), updating only when OnePlus releases a security update.
For backing up my phone apps instead of Google Services/Backup, I tried:
* MyBackup - will backup all APKs, but app-data will only be backed-up in rooted phones; it will also backup most of the things I also want and for what I'm already using it (SMS, MMS, Calendar events, Contacts, Home screen settings, etc.)
* Helium - will backup APKs and app-data, but only for half my apps; AFAIK, it won't back up the rest of the phone state, I'll have to keep using MyBackup for that.
Questions:
1) If I install TWRP and root with SuperSU, can I unroot? Can I then dirty-flash (for example) OOS 3.1.5 over 3.1.4 and re-root?
1.1) If I can't dirty-flash, how do I safely install an OOS upgrade on a phone with TWRP and root?
2) Will MyBackup backup and restore everything properly if I root?
3) Will Helium back up all apps if I root?
4) Would it be better to keep the stock recovery (booting temporarily TWRP from fastboot/adb just to install SuperSU) and then work with FlashFire? Does anyone use Flashfire with OPX?
This is a duplicate of a thread I created on the OP forums but it seems the official forums are as dead as OPs support for the OPX...
Thank you.

Your best choice is magisk manager,install magisk and root with systemless root,follow their official thread for procedures, if u done everything properly, u ll hv root access and u ll not face any problem while getting sys updates.
Helium backup? I prefer titanium backup(requires root) it ll work properly
Another simple method,Take a full backup in twrp before playing with ur mobile,root it using twrp,install xposed watever, and when if opx get nxt update,u can install it manually from twrp..jst as simple and restore previously backedup data..

OK, installed Magisk, rooted and tried again.
MyBackup failed twice to finish a backup, once it just reset while in the background, the other failed almost on the last app with "Not enough space" (SD Card still has 50GB+ available...)
Titanium Backup is refusing to backup to the SD card. When I try to select the SD card as a backup storage it won't allow me to create a new folder or select an existing folder. A rooted app refusing to write to the SD Card? Are you sh*tting me?
Now I have installed systemless Xposed for Magisk and ”Marshmallow SD fix" module. Apps still can't write to the SD card
I use to flash new Roms every time. But then everytime I have to install the basic apps again from playstore .
To avoid this reinstalling , I made titanium backup of apps and I restore apps on different Roms from titanium backup app. But here problem is I have to root the rom to use titanium backup on every rom.
I just want to ask , how can I make a flashable zip of some important apps so that with new rom flashing I can flash this all zip too....so that apps get installed without root.
And as flashing from twrp install gapps in system partition ...so can i install apps in data partition from twrp recovery ?
Use nandroid Backup

Look carefully there is an option for making flashable zips for backup in Titanium backup itself so just find it and use it but i would suggest to try and check it first because it doesn't always work so try it first before fully relying on it.

Yes I tried it too and it is not working for me. There is option of making update.zip from titanium backup. But when I flash thi zip from twrp,nothing happens. No app gets installed .

There is an app in playstore app2zip or something developer @jrummy
please try that too and report back .
First make backup of all apps in titanium with data. Then just tap on "tickmark" button on top-right corner. Here find "Recovery Mode" and Run recovery mode with desire apps with data. Name it whatever you like.
Now Go to twrp and flash that "Recovery.zip" file that you created in flashing zip. Restart phone after 1-2 times to make it stable. (you will probably can get app crash frequently by flashing zip"
But I think in this method too you need installed titanium backup for "app-data" installation. (All apps will installed without titanium backup but you need TB for data installation)

I think miui has better options for local backup which u will not find in custom roms. I hope our devs should have included this in custom roms.
If i remember There are 2 options in miui
1-User settings
2-Apps and data
If u moving from one from custom rom to another then its always better to backup and restore only "apps and data".. Never restore" User settings". Coz restoring user settings brings bugs and crashes. Coz different custom roms got diffrent tree.
Make sure if u backup using titanium then never backup user settings. Only backup apps and data.
