hi guys , i come from android 2.3.3 just updated to I9100XXKG2 with odin i followed all the steps and when i restored my backups with titanium backup from previous rom i can`t acces my applications tryed to restore again to uninstall restore again but still can`t open "the application ... has stopped unexpectedly.pls try again", i tryed different kernels , different roms even to go back to my previous firmware but still the same error. pls help if someone else has the same problem share.I have like 400 applications with data and most of them doesn`t work bc of that error
Try restoring the apps only, no data. Restoring with data seems to cause problems when upgrading firmware.
I must ask....why on earth would anyone need 400 apps ??????
Dont restore anything in red in titanium backup, aka dont restore system data as this will cause issues.
Only green(useful and non iffy system data like sms's) and white (user apps) can be restored.
i restored only application without data..and also i downloaded from market some application and still force closed for all ,flashed some new roms with new kernels..but nothing changed i will try 2 more roms maybe the problem will dissapear
Do a factory reset and then reinstall your apps.

Gearloose Backup Manager is a script which backs up the data and/or data+system partition of the galaxy 551 .
The end result is an odin flashable tar image .
The tar can be flashed using one package option in odin .
The backup restores the exact data partition which includes all the settings ,apps and everything after flashing
May work for Galaxy Mini/Ace/Fit/Gio/3/5 but never tested it .
Check my blog post for procedure ad more details
http://galaxy551.wordpress.com/2011/08/13/nandroid-style-odingearloose-backup
Already test this on my galaxy551, works like a magic it will create around 350mb tar fille that contain system & data backup then flash it with Odin.. voila everything restored without wasted time to set every single app.
Is there a different between Gearloose Backup Manager and Titanium Backup? I use Titanium Backup myself for both system and user data. However, I haven't restore it on a different rom. I would think it will restore to whichever rom I backup with. Correct me if I am wrong.
Hi all !
if i restore nand backup from another phone on my phone + restore my orgininal EFS folder does it mean my phone will work perfectly without any surprise ????
thanks a lot

totally not recommended. you could be coming from different android version, or even if same version, different manufacturers may have different setup.
if you feel adventurous, you can try just reinstalling the "data" portion though, that is where your installed apps are placed. but be warned it also contains some previous system settings which may not be compatible with sgs3.
better alternative is to install Titanium backup, it has function to read from nandroid backups so you can pick and choose what you want to extract from there.
First of all this is the wrong section to post this, go to the q&a section instead.
If the other phone was not the same exact model of phone then DO NOT restore the nandroid. Like the other commenter mentioned you can use titanium backup to save and restore apps or even use it to extract the apps from the nandroid.
Hi all,
I remember my first Froyo rom on my GS1 was provided as a nandroid package..
Questions go in the Q/A section
Fyi, nandroid doesn't touch the EFS partition or the bootloaders, or radio, just the system, data, cache and boot (kernel) partitions.
You *can* restore another person's nandroid onto your phone, but its really not a good idea (someone shipped roms as nandroids for a bit...), and you shouldn't need to touch the EFS unless something goes wrong, and a rom should never touch the EFS.
Edit: As people above say, don't restore a nandroid from another model of phone onto your device, if you want to move data from phone to phone like that use titanium backup or the like.

Well in that case at your risk by Nand i hope you mean a CWM Nandroid recovery .
Its often best to have the same version of recovery to restore backup if first attempt fails ..
Be far simpler to flash a stock SGS3 Orange rom via Odin .
jje.
Guys i have a karbonn A21 running ICS 4.0.4
I recently flashed its newly compiled CWM recovery 5.0.xx version ( 5.0.2.8 is full name i guess)
When i try to backup my rom.. it backs up my system image... everything but when it comes to backing up of data .. it gets stuck at the last on a file tombstonenocrash01 .. and after some time the phone reboots itself.
When i check my backup folder in clockworkmod there's about 435 MB of backup data in there including recovery.img , boot.img , data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar .
I just wanna ask that is the backup of my rom Complete and is it safe to restore that backup without any errors ?
Because it didnt show " backup complete" and rebooted itself automatically while backing up data in the end .
Help me please !!!
I would not recommend to restore this backup. I don't think it is consistent.
Try the following:
Open your file manager and go to /data/tombstones. Delete tombstonenocrash01 and try backup again.

Dont you think it might cause a system crash by deleting that file ? Cause its in the android data folder( not on the sdcard) . There are three of those tombstone files. When i extracted my backed up data.ext4.tar i saw those three files are present . And moreover the size of data folder in android directory is same as that of backed up data.ext4.tar .
What should i do ? Restore or not ?
I am scared cause at the moment we dont have any stock rom for the device and if i restore the device and problem crops up then my device is gone. Suggestions please
I wouldn't use that backup ....it will tell you when backup is complete .......and it doesn't look like yours is
Your phone is still working ??? I would download a stock rom or another rom for your phone and copy it to sd card at least you can
use cwm to install it
Hope this helps

As I wrote, don't restore.
For deciding to delete the tombstone files you might want to know what they are for:
If one of your apps crash (forced close) such a tombstone file is created. It is kind of a system dump to search for the error. Maybe some apps crashed in the past on your phone.
Always remember:
Files in /data are configuration files. If you format/wipe data in CWM recovery and reboot, your system is still okay. Wiping data only leaves you without configuration of the apps you have installed.
So don't panic, deleting tombstone files does no damage to your system.

Deleting tombstone files doesnt help. It's still getting stuck at backing up data . Recovery's fault i guess

Today I decided to upgrade the cyanogenmod software of my girlfriend's phone. I did a android backup before doing it and I have it both on my SD card and on the phone. The upgrade went wrong (dont'know why i was having many crashes of some apps) so i decided to restore the android backup. I have tarp recovery and i'm having two problems. The first one is when I select MD5 check: it's written MD5 failed to match on... maybe because I followed the guide about creating an MD5 blank file ( I was having problems in matching MD5). When I uncheck the MD5 check box, the backup starts and it seems it works, but when I press reboot the system it says NO OS INSTALLED. I need some help please I've tried for two hours fixing it.
What partitions did you backup and try to restore? Sounds like /system or /boot didn't backup or restore properly. You could try to reinstall the original rom she was on and then do just a /data restore and see if that works. Other than that, either another rom or back to stock are the main options. What was going wrong on the new rom? Did you try to upgrade by dirty flashing - as in not wiping /data? Sometimes it also helps to format /system too when upgrading the rom to make sure there's nothing leftover. Also, getting the correct Gapps are important for everything to run correctly.
PS: I've been having some issues with backups in TWRP on my phone as well and wasn't able to restore /data and if I just choose to restore just boot and /system then it would at least boot backup and be usable. I'm not sure if this is a similar issue to yours or just phone specific.
