There seems to be many threads on how to root the tab 10.1, how about restoring it to original conditions?

So my Nexus was acting really slow (I'm on 4.2.1), so I decided to backup via CWM and then factory reset, and do an Advanced Restore to restore my data. I backed up and did factory reset, but when I went to restore my backup, it couldn't be found. Apparently 4.2 moved the default CWM location to search "data/media/" and I didn't have my backups there (obviously). So I moved the clockworkmod folder from /sdcard/ to data/media/ and tried to restore. It gave me an MD5 mismatch, so I researched that, found a solution, and did restore. Unfortunately, that bricked my Nexus 7 so I had to restore via the ToolKit.
My question is…is there any possible way I can restore my data to my now factory-fresh (4.2.1) Nexus 7 from the backup I made? I have the backup and the blobs.
Bump, the same thing just happened to me and I dont want to create a new thread. Is there any way to restore a 4.1.2 backup from a device running 4.2.1? Thanks in advance
EDIT: I solved it by booting into CWM and then pushing the rom, full wiping and installing again
Having recently switched from Spring to Verizon, I'm finding a few differences. On my Sprint E4GT S2, I accomplished root using a cwm recovery. I guess the locked bootloader is the problem.
SafeStrap looks to provide all the same functionality with a better interface. Although I've created 2 backups (still a nandroid?) via SS, I have yet to restore one. With cwm, it was basically like backing up/restoring a system image that would restore the phone to the state it was in at the time of the backup.
So I guess the question would be:
Are the backups and restores basically the same as cwm?
Thanks,
Sam

Yes
I dont believe it counts as a nandroid cause its in SS, but I could be wrong.
Hello,
I'm running TWRP v2.8.4.0 on a G900T. Before testing out my first custom rom after rooting the device I made a full backup through TWRP. I was having some difficulties with the ROM I chose and decided to restore my backup so I could use my phone still while figuring things out. Unfortunately, after restoring the backup file through TWRP and rebooting I am receiving crash report after crash report of a long list of apps.
I tried searching the forums but no such luck with the wording that I've used for a fix.
I've tried disabling MTP and Fixing Permissions (without the "SELinux contexts" option) after doing another factory reset (Wiping Data, Cache, and Dalvik.
If there is anything else that I could try or read up on that would be great. Thank you!
**Update**
The only thing I can think of is something to do with downgrading from Lollipop 5.0 to Stock 4.4.2. I'll update this thread if I end up getting something to work.
I ended up flashing the Alliance Rom to get it back to something very close to stock. Still interested in possible solutions to restoring that original backup though as if I need to send it in for maintenance that's the one that I'll need to use.
I've run into the same issues with all my devices. NANDROID backups are not 100% anymore ever since CM14.1 and now with LineageOS. I've tested the recoveries on LG G4, OP2, it is impossible to leave LineageOS because when you restore the any backup, stuff will be lost, particularly the SMS/MMS will get wiped, system settings are set to default and whatever other settings you have will not be restored.
I've read thread's that there is an issue with TWRP and Nougat, but how is everyone restoring their backups? Are there new steps that are different with 7.1.1?
Please any assistance would go a long way. This makes backup worthless and leaving any 7.1.1 ROM will be doomed to start from scratch?
Thanks
I have a twrp backup with all of the partitions backed up. I came from an S5, and when I would brick it or something, I would just boot into twrp and restore from the nandroid I previously made. But, now with the Oneplus 5, when I go to restore with a nandroid, it doesn't let me restore the data partition. I searched for solutions before posting this. The closest solution I found was to use titanium backup pro or similar app, to restore the data. Am I doing something or missing something? I thought when you made a nandroid backup it was just a copy of every aspect of your phone, which could be restored at any point?
You should have read the recovery thread. It says it can't restore OxygenOS data backups right now.
It actually says it will lead to a bootloop if you do. Maybe they disabled that option temporarily.
You can try this.
