Just noticed I haven't been getting gmails emails with eb01 SC 2.2....if I open up gmail and manhally refresh it will pull them but won't do it on its own....already wiped and so on
You probably restored system data. Don't do that.
Elaberate a little...and....how do I fix it?
When restoring with Titanium, restore missing apps&data only. If you restore system data, there are some things that are safe (keyboard info, APs and bluetooth, etc.) but restoring anything having to do with your google account will screw up sync big time. There's an involved process that might fix it, involving clearing every google account/service's data and re-adding the account, but it's easier just to reflash.
I restored system but only from recovery...
I restored system but only from recovery...I dont use titanium at all...thanks for the help I will post later if I fix..

My Nexus 10 had two user accounts, mine and my wife's. I was the primary account.
I had a bunch of trouble with the Kit Kat OTA install (see my other thread) so I ended up using WUG's Toolkit to restore root and then did a nandroid backup as well as backing up data/media with the Toolkit. I tried to backup the apps with the Toolkit but it wouldn't work for a bulk or single app backup (would complete immediately and be a 0 kb file). I used Titanium Backup to backup all of the apps in my account.
At no point was I ever given an option to back up files for my wife's user account (I'm the main account, she's got a secondary user account). I tried to log into her account and do a Ti Backup but her account didn't have root. I tried to get root with the toolkit while logged into her account and it wouldn't work and didn't give me the impression that it was supposed to work on the secondary account so I assumed (hoped) that her account was included in the backups I already had.
So after all of this backing up, I flashed stock Kit Kat + Root with the toolkit. Everything is up and running properly but it appears I've got NO backup files for my wife's account (other than the Nandroid (maybe)but I'm not aware of any way to use that without screwing up my clean install of Kit Kat).
So my question is, what is the proper way to backup a device with multiple user accounts so it can be restored after a wipe? Also, if a Nandroid backup is done on a buggy/screwed up firmware upgrade, can the Nandroid still be used to restore the device after the firmware is flashed clean/working properly or will the Nandroid bring back the bugs it had before the wipe/install? If so, the Nandroid backup would include my wife's user account correct? Thanks.
Nobody knows how this works?

I would think a backup made from recovery would copy all data regardless of how many accounts you have and would restore it all just as it was.
Recovery/nandroid backups are account insensitive in that its a low level blanket backup of all data and settings.
Backup of a buggy system will result in buggy restore of system

Thanks, so if I restore using my Nandroid backup of the buggy system, the end result will be a buggy system again correct?
So the only option to backup multiple accounts on a buggy system and be able to restore it later and not end up with a buggy system would be to make a backup in custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)?

No recovery (custom or other) can make a clean backup out of a preexisting buggy system.
The important bits you really need is your data, the system will be your apps and kernel etc.
One can usually make a clean backup of the data, flash to stock, reload apps and flash data go about your business as if nothing had happened.
Once the system gets buggy and you have no backups, unless you know exactly what caused the bugs and know what to uninstall or what to install to patch/repair using adb or other, you will need to flash a clean system to restore.
OK, I've got a clean install now, I'm just trying to figure out if I have any way to restore my data from the backups I have. Sounds like my data/media backup from the toolkit may do the trick.

Regarding this statement, I've done the toolkit "Restore Data/Media" and it didn't bring back the second user account, nor did it restore game saves (Real Racing, TrialX2, etc.) in my account. In Titanium Backup, I have the option to "Restore All Apps With Data" or "Restore All System Data". I did the "all apps with data" option and it brought back my game saves but nothing in the second user account.
Here is the weird part though. Restoring app data from Titanium also restored the "buggy" issues. The home button no longer works, the second user account can't be accessed, the lock screen is gone, etc.
Any idea what app data would cause this?
Is there a fix other than flashing stock and starting over again?

Toolkit or Titanium backups are NOT the same as nandroid backups.
The nandroid backup will backup all data regardless of how many accounts you have installed.
Titanium and other OS level tools are not account agnostic. TB though I believe has an account option but shouldnt be used as primary system backup tool. Always use your recovery based backup as your primary data recovery tool.
Hello guys,
I don't know whats going on but suddenly my contact names are all gone.
Instead I only see the numbers when calling/getting a call, in Call Log, Stock SMS/Hangouts app and so on!
In Contacts the names are just fine... tried to clear data of the apps, resyncing Google Acc and what not...
I also had a backup to restore but it didnt help much... don't feel like doing a factory reset for now since I got so much stuff set up on my phone
And I can't remember anything I did to mess this up, it just happend
Any help appreciated
EDIT: Problem solved; Somehow if this strange stuff happens, go to recovery and clear cache & dalvik. Then reboot to system again, voila!
If this doesn't help, try to remove Google account and relog again after clearing cache and dalvik.
Other than re-sync your Google account, do you have try to delet the account, reboot and login back to your account ?
Edit, it can't be linked to your Google account.
What is your ROM ?
If you are on a custom ROM, try to wipe System (only system) and re-flash the ROM.
When i was flashing some app, my nexus stopped at the boot animation during reboot. I tried clearing cache and flashing the kernel again without luck. So i flashed system.img using fastboot. After a reboot all my apps are gone. I can still see my sdcard data from the computer. How to restore my apps with data. Also google apps seems to be missing as well (Only few apps like maps, email,play games/movies etc are present and they are not working as well since google play services not running). I am not able to add an account. Please help
Somebody please help me out.
What did you try to flash that caused this?
I flashed moto g gallery from apps and themes section. I ended up formatting everything (I did back up my sdcard which contains my earlier TiB backup files). What I want to know is that whenever i messed up system files in kitkat or JB, flashing the same system.img restores everything without effecting my apps/apps data. Will it not work in LP ? Have anyone tried this.
The new installation wasn't pretty as well. I was not able to login to my google account (couldn't connect to google servers). After repeated tries I was able to do so. I installed all my previous apps from wondershare toolkit. But after a random reboot/s some(not all) of my apps are missing which I am pretty sure installed and check in app drawer.
I just updated my S5 to the OTA Lollipop, then installed XtreStoLite Lollipop version. I had a TiB backup of all my stuff from KitKat.
After a TiB restore, the phone worked fine until I rebooted, then it went into a boot loop. It would load the OS, and I'd have maybe 8 seconds before it rebooted on it's own.
I did a factory reset and tried again again, this time I did everything very slowly, rebooting very often to figure out what it was. I had made many more changes than just hte TiB restore, so it took a while to find out that was it, and the particular item that was restored.
The culprit was the Wifi Access Point XML backup (shows as a yellow listed item). When it was restored, and the phone rebooted it started the boot loop. There isn't an option on TW to clear all saved wifi data, nor the time. To fix it I had to ADB shell while loaded into CWM recovery. I did an
echo "" > /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

and that seemed to fix it. I didn't mind losing that stuff.
Problem is after restoring the TiB SMS backup XML data, it seems to be going into the same loop. After the restore I was able to open the SMS app and view all the imported SMS messages just fine. It appears the import worked. But upon the next reboot, it started the boot loop again. I could probably remove /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db, but I do actually need them.
Does anyone know why this might happen or how to solve it?
Well, deleting the mmssms.db didn't stop the reboots. The file was 600k, but the TiB backup is 50mb, probably due to images. Don't know where that's stored.
EDIT:
Actually, just realized the rebooting is because the wpa_supplicant.conf was recreated after adding wifi. So something in the TiB wifi restore killed something else. Seems removing wpa_supplicant.conf is only a temporary fix and I can't use wifi or it will recreate it and continue the rebooting :/
I've noticed two problems that crop up when I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps/data
1) If I try to restore the missing apps + data, sometimes everything gets restored, and sometimes it gives me "X elements failed", where some apps will not be installed. This happens whether I restore on the same ROM that I backed up on (backup on Cloudy G2, restore on Cloudy G2) , or if I use a different ROM (backup on NDM 5.5, restore on Cloudy G2). I thought I found a work around, where I just install the app from the Play Store first, and THEN I would restore the app data. That worked a few times until....
2) When I tried restoring my app data last night after a fresh KDZ wipe, the apps that I restored data on all couldn't start (Snapchat, Amazon, Wechat, SwiftKey). I would tap them, they would try to open for half a second, then they would close. I tried restarting my phone, but with that, I got "UIDs on your system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable". I was stupid, and decided to wipe my data partition so I had to restore all my apps from scratch, but that at least hasn't lead to any problems yet.
Does anyone know what I did wrong, or what I can do to fix this? I know for number 1, some threads mentioned that your Android I.D. changes when you flash a new ROM (that MIGHT explain number 2?), but not a lot of people mention this, and it seems like the majority of people don't have this problem. For number 2, I found this thread, but it was too late already.
If possible, I'd like to find a backup app that avoids ALL of these and just lets me back things up and restore easily. Is there one out there?

is a supersu issue, open supersu than go to is setting and not select "name space mount separation" that is selected by default.
Now titanium can work as intended

That will fix both problems that I have?
Try, I was unable to use it untill I change the SuperSu setting and now Titanium is working perfectly, so probably your problem is the same.
Oh I mean, I can use it just fine. It can perform backups. But restoring is a when I get those errors. I'll keep this in mind in case I need to restore to a new ROM, thanks!
