Hi all,
Quick question,
I have a full backup (every partition) made on my SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE, this phone has broken a while ago
I just bought the new one, exactly same model [S7 EDGE], same CPU, same 32 GB version,
I want to root the new one, install the same TWRP version and restore my own backup from broken one,
The question is, during the restore process, should I restore every partition to have everything working properly?
I mean about screen as below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am not sure if I should restore partition as: modem, boot?
Thanks for your suggestions,
any suggestions please?
Restoring TWRP backup to a new phone
I have to move to a new phone. I backed up my old one to the SDcard. I placed it in the new phone and booted into TWRP. When I enter the restore menu, I go to ext card and it doesn't show any backups. I am not sure why TWRP does not see my sdcard...

P.S. I blured the images because I thought they might be sensitive info I don't really know...
Just so you know here is what they are:
BCDES-20100825-1441
(letters) - (date, backwards) - (time)
So at 2:41 on the 25/8/10 I created a backup!
So you have obviously done more than one backup
I haven't worked out what the letters are. Probably to do with what types of data you're backing up.

I have learned something !!
Thanks ! Now it will be easier for me
I believe that in bcdes the e is for backing up the ext partition of the SD because it is not without
I'm pretty sure it's
Boot
Data
Ext
System
Yes it's logic
I have moved from Orange to 3 (UK)
So i flashed the 3 version of the ICS4 firmware as on:

That worked out fine.
I did a backup before.
It shows that it has backed up my SMS:

When i go next
Wont let me restore them.
By flashing the 3 rom, your phones become just a i9100, no longer a i9100P. Probably whats confused Kies, thinks its a different phone and wont restore personal data (contacts, calendar etc)

So if i flash it back to Orange i would be able to retrieve that info?
alternatively, you could install a SMS backup application from the play store and restore your messages
Personally, I dont TRUST Kies. I use third-party back up tools for the job.

Would still have to flash the orange firmware and restore them to the phone before i can back them up using an sms backup app?
I took a backup of my ROM when it was in a broken state (wouldn't boot past 'Samsung i9100' logo), I just want to restore my apps if possible.
At the moment it looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there a way to just restore the 'data' part of this because it seems to be split into 2 files (the .a and .b ones) and I can't access the .b file?
I think, Titanium Backup has an option for restoring stuff manually. (not sure)
And then there's also an app called 'Appextractor' in Play store (free, with a seperate pro key) that can extract apps from Nandroid backups
PhilZ Touch recovery allows you to restore specific partitions.

Yes, but the content of /data and /boot is very much related to the system you have installed, so partly restoring will almost always fail.

Yep. That's exactly right. Be very careful about restoring partitions from one nandroid made of one rom/setup into another; can go spectacularly badly if you don't know what you're doing. Do what MOT suggested & get AppExtractor.
So I recently updated my HTC DNA to a Kitkat ROM (OmniROM) after making a nandroid backup in TWRP. I typical use the app Nandroid Manager (great app BTW) to restore apps, app data, and text messaging history from the old ROM. It usually works great. However, in the transition from CrDroid 4.3 to OmniROM 4.4, the backup became corrupted. Nandroid manager won't restore anything from it. App restoration freezes at 2/256 apps, and trying to restore text messages comes up with an unusual error.

So, my question is how do I salvage whatever non-corrupted data is in the backup? Could I possibly get SOME of my old SMS history back? App data? Anything? I've found guides to doing this with CWM backups from other sources but they evidently don't apply to TWRP, because what is described in those guides and what I see aren't the same thing. Nandroid Manager has a feature that let's you explore the backup and extract the .win files, so getting to the backup's "guts" won't be a problem. It knowing what to do with those files to salvage whatever I can that's the problem. I was stupid and didn't make any extra backups and now I'm paying for it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey ALL, so I need my phone back ASAP. So here's my problem...
This happened to me a second time, I followed a guide and ported a TWRP for my phone, which after flashing via Rashr, the TWRP worked fine but my SIM cards wouldn't show, BUT Wi-Fi works, its not like all the other problems, IMEI is also invalid but rewriting IMEI fixes no IMEI issue but the SIMs don't work.
Last time I had to reflash the whole firmware, but this time im hoping for some good responses and hopefully a solution.
I had taken a backup of the "nvram" folder but no use ,MTK Droid tools doesn't support Lollipop, Mobile Uncle Tools also doesn't show any effectiveness.
Im stuck, I'll leave reflash the Last Option.
For now GUYS, HELP

Please, kindly help me out.....
Oh well, THANKS everyone for helping, i had no choice but to do a full flash..................
