Hi Everyone,
I apologize if someone has already posted something similar to this but I'm having issues restoring from a backup I made on 2.8.6.0 TWRP. It is always failing on the data partition and this is happening on other back ups that are more recent.
I have a lot of things I need on my back up such as contacts, sms etc. I know that I should have backed that up with Titanium back up or something like that.
Any help is greatly appreciated! I will provide as much info as I can.
Regards,
Marcus Garces
Really brain breaking news to report, I moved to Philz Touch 6.57.8 recovery and again! Data failed to restore!! I'm starting to think that my sd card is now to blame.
Cwm backups are not compatible with twrp backups and vice versa.
You can extract data from nandroid backups fairly easy. One way is nandroid manager.
Did you encrypt your backups?
The same problem but M7, I search on google and find this topic.
Now I can;t restore my backup in twrp 2.8.5.0.
I really need my contacts, sms, call log...

So I am rooted and flashed Myn's RLS#4. No problems
Now I am adding a few new items but am confused with a few things.
Titanium Backup
ROM Manager
Nandroid backup
Most of what I read says to do a Nandroid backup. I know how to, but where does Titanium Backup and ROM Manager come into play. Do I need to do all?

Titanium Backup - saves your applications on SD card so that it may save and re-use on a new ROM
ROM Manager - Download new ROMs onto your sd card to flash
Nandroid backup - Only takes a backup of your whole actual phone so that you can go back and start over from the first backup in case a problem or bug or accident in the system occurs.
Only Amon_Ra's recovery makes nandroids which back up your 4G radio parameters. You might try searching, use google instead of the xda forum tools, just include"xda evo" in the search line.
I used MyBackup Root to backup up my applications before installing a new rom. I only backed up the data and not the .apk. Now that the new rom is loaded, I am restoring the applications and data as needed. However, I am running into instances where I get a message that says 'data not restored(Incompatible version)'. In one example, I am trying to restore data for Dolphin Browser HD. MyBackup backed up the data at version 4.4.0. The version on the Market is 4.4.1. Is there a way to get it to restore the data even though the minor version difference? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
do you have a nandroid of your old rom? if so just restore back backup the apks and data. then reflash the new rom and restore with mybackup root again
Good idea, but unfortunately, I did not do a Nandroid backup this time. I posted this question to the RerWare support site, and will post what the answer is.
To give everybody an update, RerWare was VERY helpful in debugging this, and it resulted in me testing this feature on a new build for them. It solved my problem. Thanks go to ReWare!!
Hi everyone,
I recently lost my phone due to EFS problems,from flashing roms, and I had no backup.
I have a new phone and want to make sure that never happens again!
So can anyone confirm whether this precautions will save me if this ever happens again.
1.In Twrp if I do a backup of a rom AND the EFS will this restore it all to normal if the EFS gets messed up?
2. I have made a backup with EFS backup from these forums, and this seems pretty secure.The backup seems to be saved on my PC.If the EFS messes up would a simple restore from this program resolve the issue, and is it better than or as good as Twrp?
I have alot of faith in the backup program to save me, but would be very interested to know if twrp alone is good enough.
Thanks for any knowledgeable replies to this problem.:good:

With note2toolkit v3 you have the option to backup efs to zip and tar for easy restore.
V4.1 does not have that option.only via twrp
I have a couple questions if someone can answer them for me. First off, I have a boost galaxy s3, rooted. Right now I am on CWM, does anyone know if 4ext is compatible with this phone. I went to google play store under 4 ext and on the left it says it is, just want to verify before I install this.
Next question is a little more in depth.
I am in a dilemma. I had a s2 (rooted and on a custom rom)and had issues with the gps, so I upgraded to a s3. I did a nandroid backup and also tit backup of my important apps. After I did this, we pulled out the sd card and they did a factory reset on the s2. I have since rooted my s3 and installed tit backup, but when I go to restore, it says theres nothing to restore. I also went into es file explorer and the tit backup folder is empty. For whatever reason, I don't have the tit backup. I still have the nandroid backup I made on my s2, although I don't have the s2 phone anymore. The data on some of these apps is very important to me and I am crushed that I lost all that. Does anyone know if there is a way to pull apart the nandroid backup to get at this data so tit backup would be able to restore the data from these apps? I only have 2 or 3 of these apps data that I really need. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
You can retrieve information form a Nandroid Backup with Titanium Backup. That being said, I would advice against restoring Data. Unless it's from games. If you do restore Data, try to never restore System Data.
You can also check out Nandroid Manager.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Thanks for the response. Will tit backup allow me to pull apart the nandroid backup and find the folder with a particular apps data then, if so, how do I go about doing that?? I looked at the options in tit backup and could not figure out a way to do this. Also, would it be easier to maybe use some program on my pc to do this instead of my phone??

Either one should allow you to Extract Data from a Nandroid. In Titanium Backup you would navigate to : Menu - SPECIAL BACKUP ? RESTORE - Extract from Nandroid backup - Choose the backup. Then let it load up. Choose what you want to restore. Once again I would caution against restoring System Data.
There was a option in tit bu ofr extracting from nandroid bu and it flawlessly to restore my app data to those apps. Thanks for everyones suggestions and feedback.
Hi xda members
I cant backup my /system in philz touch recovery. It does backup for a period of time and stops at supolicy and jumps to backing up the data.
It is possible to perform a nandroid backup other than it doesnt complete the /system backup and stops at supolicy.
I have tried to look up my issue but cant find nor understand what it is and how to solve it.

Hope that you can help me and thanks in advance
