phone wont Nandroid Backup?

I rooted my phone, did a nandroid backup, then removed apps, and installed Modacos rom. The apps I removed are back (nascar and stocks), and now before I remove these apps again I want to nandroid backup again, and my phone says
"Performing backup : ..............
Error : Backup not performed!"
Any ideas why??
deleted nandroid folder on sd, tried again and it worked
Thank you. This was just the solution I was looking for all day!

Will nandroid restore work after MR?

If i wipe my phone, install RUU, and then install the MR, will I be able to do a Nandroid restore to get all my apps setting etc back?

No.
Nandroid restore sets the phone back completely to what it had when you did the backup.
Well, it'll "work" but it will restore your phone to the pre-MR state.

Nandroid 2.2 Restore Troubles

Hey guys, im trying to do a nandroid restore from recovery and i keep getting the Error: run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via console!
Did i misunderstand or something about the process? If i had a backup in sd/nandroid/"my model#" where i backed up an older restore at stock with MR. and I start "Nandroid v2.2 restore" it should simply restore it or am i missing something? BTW i have no other backups in that folder.
I had the same issue after I copied the backups to another sdcard. I was not able to get around the error. I just booted into recovery mode and then used the adb shell to run the backup command. No errors whatsoever when I use this method to restore.
Well does anyone else have the same problem or know what the issue/fix might be? Cause its really annoying if this restore feature won't work.

[Q] Restoring a CWR Backup?

I have made a CWR backup of my rooted 1.1 stock rom with all my installed apps. I tried out the new 1.2 update and then tried to restore my backup. Everytime I connect to Wifi I get a message about problem authinticating and having to reflash to stock. How can I get my backup to restore correctly? Wipe data/cache? Won't that take out all my apps? Or am I stuck going back through 1.1 stock, autonooter, install apps/titanium restore?

[Q] TWRP Recovery- How to use?

So I am currently on Paranoid Android and wish to switch to another ROM (most likely AOKP or PACman just to try). In TWRP recovery, what would I select to just back up my app data and NOT my ROM, and after that is possible, what must I restore to get it back and in what order of flashing alon with my new ROM and GAPPS???:silly:
You can go into TWRP and backup and choose what partitions you want to backup. However, I'd suggest you backup everything and don't try to restore the data to another ROM.
I use Titanium to backup all app data as well as MMS history, WiFi networks etc then do a full backup in TWRP. Then wipe everything and flash the new ROM. Then boot up and reconfigure accounts and restore apps + data with titanium.
It may be a little more effort but this way you can always roll back to the previous setup if anything goes wrong and you're less likely to run into any weird issues from moving data around between ROMs.
Or you could try something like app2zip off the play store to make a flashable zip of only selected apps and data which is probably safer than the whole partition. If you do a full backup first you can always rollback if something goes wrong.
When using Titanium Backup, when I hit run backup, where does it go and how do I restore it after I flash my new ROM. Or do I do the update.zip option and flash that when I'm doing my new ROM?

It goes into a folder on /sdcard called TitaniumBackup. When you flash a new rom, you will need to redownload titanium backup. When you redownload it, it will find the backups and you can click on the app to restore it.
Theres no need to use the update.zip method. Do it like this ^
