So I'm new to this phone and I'm unsure about its backup process and its restore process. I come from the moto cliq phone and that phone had a different custom recovery that in my opinion was better.
With this clockwork recovery unless I'm doing something wrong I get force closes left and right when I do a rom restore. So what happens is I completely restore the rom and as soon as the phone loads into it everything will give me force close warnings which in return never let's me fully load in, making the restore crap! Because I have to start fresh.
So could anyone here tell me the proper process of backing up my rom/ restoring, using this clockwork recovery? Or is this a known bug? Rom I was using was EE 1.2.9.
Thank you for any sorta help.

I can't tell right off, because EE is updated now, but is EE 1.2.9 a froyo ROM? Some apps will FC because they are NOT for froyo. If you did the backup from eclair and then flashed to a Froyo rom you may see those FCs.
You might try booting into clockwork, wiping the cache and user data and system, then doing an advanced restore and restoring just the data. But again, apps that are not supposed to run on froyo will fc.
Also, it sounds like you can re-load everything fresh with too much hassle - you've had lots of practice by now - why not try flashing a new EE ROM like 2.0.0.01. Follow the instructions and FLASH the DK17 modem. Then you can reload your apps from the market and do an updated nandroid/clockwork backup.
EE 1.2.9 is the rom before the froyo beta drop that he did. When I do backups everything goes smoothly, but when I restore and I just hit restore a rom it seems to restore fine, but the min I pass the load up screen all I get is force close for everything.
I don't know if I'm doing my back ups or restores wrong or if maybe it could be the rom? But somehow I doubt its the rom. I'm trying to figure out if there's a procress to backup or restore that I'm doing wrong?
All I hit is back up when doing my nandroid and to restore I just hit restore, I didn't do advance restore. Any tips?
Thanks for the reply.

Are you using a theme? Any time I have tried to restore a theme it has caused endless force closes.

So at some point your phone is runnign with NO fc's? And then you back up and restore to test the backup, and suddenly you have FCs? You should not get FC's from restoring a nandroid backup that you had just made from a flawless ROM.
It's possible that one of your resident programs is conflicting with the others - if you go into settings, applications, running services, do you see anything there that perhaps should not be there?

You're exactly correct. A perfect example is right now I'm running EE 1.2.9 with no force closing problems with all my apps installed and everything is running smoothly, I made a back up and then wiped my phone completely of everything.
Then went ahead and tried hitting restore, everything seemed to have restored because I got no errors in recovery but the min the phone loaded into home screen I get errors like "launcher pro force close, beautiful widgets force close." And so on.. I've clicked over 100 times force close and everything seems to give to me force close errors renderng my phone useless, after the system restore.
So I had to start fresh again and just reinstalled everything and everything is working fine. Weird huh? I don't know what I could be doing wrong.
Thanks for the help.

You need to do an advanced restore and only restore data. Basically you flashing a 2.1 rom over a 2.2 rom this will break things. Since you are going from 2.1 to 2.2 your best bet is to reinstall all your apps from scratch or use titanium backup to restore your apps. You are bringing in data from 2.1 to 2.2 that shouldn't be there that is why your getting fc's.

I'm not updating to 2.2 yet. This all is happening on 2.1 using EE 1.2.9 (eclair.) Which doesn't make sense to me at all. Unless something is wrong with clockwork recovery?

i need some help. i cant download from the market after i went back to a 2.1 rom from a 2.2 beta rom. any ideas?
Is it stuck on downloading?
Usually when it is, I just leave it there-- then after a few minutes, it will tell you it's installing.
You can also try going to Settings > Applications > Market and clearing data and cache. Then open up market again and let it refresh.
i tried that already and it still hasnt changed. even did a factory reset twice

I SO don't know what I'm talking about. Ever. But especially here.
However having said that, perhaps you flashed the baseband to 2.2 with the modem file and Odin, and need to flash it back to a 2.1.
Anyone confirm/feel free to correct me and call me names....
Also I've had issues with the market upon restoring backups after trying out different ROMs. Sometimes I stop all the backed-up market downloads, then clear the cache, the reboot and try downloading apps again one or two at a time and that works. Recently I had an issue where the market thought I didn't have a program installed, but I did have it from a Titanium backup. Market kept trying to restore it. Then I uninstalled it from my Epic and reinstalled it from the market.

I had the same issue when I reverted back to 2.1. Are you doing a restore from a nandroid backup? I tried doing a straight nandroid restore, failed. I tried wiping and flashing a 2.1 rom and then doing a data restore, failed. Finally, I just gave up and forwent the data restore. I had to rebuild everything, but it worked.
I'm sure you can find a more elegant solution, but it's what worked for me.

Ibwas having the same problem. It was caused by restoring from a nandroid backup. I just reflashed and restored all my apps manually
Tapatalkin it from my Epic 4G
i fixed it by going back to the 2.2 beta rom i was using. i reverted back to 2.1 because gps wasnt working but now gps is working on 2.2 and i have market access. i would say close this thread but i sure somebody else will have this problem and need the help so leave it open
if i upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 can i do advance restore data, so i can have all of my apps and homescreans like before?
thanks
Any help...I want to upgrade tonight. Thanks

You can try it but I recommend a fresh install instead of restoring. You might run into some problems and force closes. It varies for some people. You can always update to 2.2 doba NAND backup and then try your restore of data and if you have problems just use your restore you made and manually install them again. I personally only restore when I'm on the same android version. Good luck
This is stupid...but is there any way to get my saved data for my games back if I fresh install them...in particular the Sims 3.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I honestly don't know I've never played games on my phone. Do you have to login on sims to play it? I'd assume if you did it would probably still be saved.

I have this problem with the game "ninjas live" i loose all of my save data unless i flash backup restore, I need a way to get my same data back on a new rom. titainium and any other backup app does not restore the data on ninjas live like a clockwork restore. But the downside is force closes from the clockwork restore.
Titanium backup.
Ive also done the advance restore through cwm for data after odin flash many times and no problems.
worse case odin back and restore then use titanium b/u.
It does not require a login...but i guess ill update to 2.2 do an advanced restore data and if it messes up ill do titanium backup and if all fails start all my games over
This has been my biggest beef with all the ROM updates/changes as well. There is not an easy way to backup your personal data and restore it without massive force closes here and there...oy vey. Lots of experience with that on my G1
Is there any dev's working on handling this issue right now? Would hate to do it myself....
updated to the quantum rom 2.7 with ext4...did an advanced data restore, and everything is fine so far...no force closes yet...
If you're as lucky as me and a few others. Try just runing the 2.2.1 update.zip. It will keep all your games saves, apps and homepages as they are. But the risk you run is that it might run buggy. I guess its a 50 50 shot.
You might luck out, like me.
Forgive my ignorance.
I am following randyshear's excellent video and just rooted for the first time and wish to flash viperrom 4.0.2.a.
The only question I can't find an answer to is whether I can keep all of my data intact (my email accounts, the apps I've downloaded, etc), or whether this process will completely wipe out my data?
Maybe I'm already on the right track? I booted into clockwork recovery and selected "backup and restore" and made a backup to my sd card. I copied this nandroid backup to my PC. Will I be able to "restore" this after I flash the viperrom?
Thanks and sorry for the ignorance!
I prefer Mybackup Pro over Titanium.
Yep, my back up pro, or the free root version.

Or once you install your new ROM, you can boot back into recovery, go to backup and restore, then advanced restore, and just restore your data. This should restore all of your apps, settings, sms, ect without messing up the ROM.

I have flashed several roms several times waiting to find that ultimate rom that I cant live without, everytime i have had to try and figure out how to get all my data back, will this method work without fail? have you done this before. please let me know, if this is true you will have become my new hero. thanks
If you are coming from 2.1 or any other rom then data restore can cause fc and stabilit problems. I'm not saying this happens to everyone on every rom but it has happened to me multiple times after wiping data/cache 3 times flashing the rom, booting, clockwork data restore etc.. I generally don't try it anymore as it caused more problems than it solved. Just my 2 bytes.

I flashed the urban regeneration rom and then did an advanced restore. when i booted it gets stuck at the starting animation, but behind it i can still use the phone, i know this since i can power it down by guessing where to touch on my screen. would it be doing this since i saved my data while using touchwiz, then tried to restore it on a rom that doesnt have touchwiz?
thanks
You might have just had a bad flash/restore. Id try reflashing the rom then doing a restore again to see if it still has the same problem.
Can you hit the home button and select a different launcher? If that doesn't work then a reflash is worth a try. We were unsuccessful on Bonsai to restore from nand in any way going to EH17 trials. Data had to be restoed with Titanium.

Hi everyone! I recently decided to install the 4.4.2 rom on my Galaxy Note 3 N9005 and I didn't like it because it obviously was buggy as ,entioned in the thread. So I wanted to go back to my nandroid backup which I had made before installing the rom. It all went right in CWM and no errors, so I rebooted my phone and got stuck at the glowing samsung logo, so after many fixes and things I tried which didn't work I flashed a pre-rooted stock rom for it and it all went well. I managed to restore to my nandroid finally and then I unlock my phone to find a "com.google.process.gapps has been stopped" message which wont go away when I tap "OK". It just comes back and gives me one second untill it comes back again. I really need help since I need my phone for work, I have tried reinstalling all the gapps, wont work, I have tried reflashing the stock rom and restoring my nandroid again, I have tried deactivating "Downloads" in the app manager but that wont fix it either and finally I have tried clearing the "app data" for all my apps but again, no luck. If anyone would be able to help me I would appriciate it very much. Thanks in advance!
You're probably gonna have to go back to complete stock. Grab your stock image and flash via odin, boot it up and see if it gives you the error without installing custom recovery and your backup. That way you'll know where the error lays.

Forgot to mention but when I return to complete stock there isn't such a message, only when I restore to my nandroid. I also tried restoring from an older backup which I had made like 2 months ago and the same problem remains, "com.google" message is still there. Any suggestions or should I just start over?

Sounds like a dodgy backup or it somehow got corrupted, I'd start over to save any headaches for future reference -- It's a headache I know, but safer I think. You could hang five, see if anyone else chimes in with any other ideas though

A nandroid backup is simple but monolithic. Most people also use Titanium Backup for the ability to restore selective stuff, or to restore to a completely different model of phone.
I had same issue
Bith titanium and nandroid restore.
Well only way to save your self. Completing wizard of first startup with feeling google..
And just restore user apps and data with titanium except google stuff..
This is the only healthy restore method so far i know that gapss.com keeps kool

So I somehow managed to go to settings and disable Play Services with the one second time line that I had before the message appears again, and the message stopped. So it must be something with Play Services. Since i'm new to android (and the Note 3 is my first android phone) I want to ask if there is a way to maybe reinstall Plaay Services?

Hi, there! I just got almost the same issue like you. Once update to custom 4.4.2, any nandroid backups which worked right before getting GAPPS' FC constantly. :crying: Try double wipes, flash 4.3 gapps full package, stop&restart android download, uninstall google play store update, etc. nothing can fix it. Only way stop the popup error, is flash stock rom. But, consequently, lose root access, even with the same method that rooted the stock rom before. I'll heard some guy said the 4.4.2 has different partition from 4.3 or older android rom. But don't mention how to restore the old partition way. So, hope anyone can help us out, thanks a lot.
