Hi, I am currently using the latest CM version, however I have decided to restore my froyo backup, is it as simple as, going on ROM manager and restoring or will i.e. the CM kernel, and other CM parts still exist when I have restored, Thanks
you need to do a full wipe/factory reset before restoring the backup and no cm "parts" will be left

So if I have a full TitaniumBackup of my phone, and I flash from stock to CM7 or Iced Glacier, can I restore any of my backup without causing problems? Or am I stuck rebuilding all of my settings and reinstalling the apps fresh from the market?
Do I need to check the box in TB that says to try to restore to incompatible ROM versions?
IG is Froyo, so it's less complex.
You can safely restore User apps and data with TB, but be very very careful with system app data. Even the green colored items may cause trouble, as you are CHANGING the ROM environment and may misprovision something.
Nandroid backups are complete system images, useful for returning to a known state, with this caveat:

HTC Glacier running CM7 #33
I did a complete TI backup of my phone before flashing IG. I was able to successfully restore all of it after wiping the phone during the flash, without any issues.
I initially tried to flash with no wipes and had some stability/app problems. I went back, re-flashed, wiped, and just restored my TI backup with great success.
Hello can anyone explain to me how to backup and after that restore data oh my android
Now i use TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 but now there is 4 versions new and i want to update.I read posts and people say that it's better to make fresh clean install,not update.
Ok i will.but cai i restore my aplications after that or i make install all of them again
Thank you
Do normal android backup via cwm, then wipe everything, flash new rom and after that go to the advanced restore and restore only data. But of course you can flash new rom directly and you will see if it's ok .
If it will be unsuccesful, you still have your backup ..
If you want to only restore your apps on the newer version, you could use Titanium Backup (from Android Market) to back up and restore the apps and their data caches.
I would first do a cwm backup, then back up the apps and their data with Titanium. Then flash the new ROM. Try first doing a custom restore -->data only, and if that doesn't work out for you, you can do a wipe and then install Titanium and at least restore your apps and their data caches.

How to update CM9 Nightly when newer versions are available without having to flash the new ROM, So that i can keep my settings and apps as it was before.
Any better ways than backing up and restore.
I think flashing between CM9 nightlies doesn't require wipe data. You can flash normally but if you change between ROMs or different android version (2.3 going to 4.0) you need to wipe.
Also, if you want to backup, I suggest Go Backup or Titanium Backup
So I was running CM10.1 nightlies with Franco Kernel and decided to make the jump to CM10.2. The ROM and gApps flash went just fine, but like a dummy, I flashed the version of Franco kernel that I'd been using before, which I guess is not compatible with 4.3. The phone seemed to be softbricked and would just hang at the Cyanogen boot animation. I can get into recovery and I've tried to reflash both CM10.1 and CM10.2 - both hang at the boot animation. I can go back to my stock backup just fine, but then when I try to flash CM again (either version), I have the same hanging problem. Does CM store like a memory of the kernel that you have flashed and try to revert to that? Why can't I flash CM again once I've gone back to stock (and the stock kernel)? Would reflashing the stock image fresh (rather than using a TWRP backup) change anything? I'm pretty inexperienced with this and would appreciated any help. Thanks in advance!

Just to be sure how much juice was left while you were flashing CM rom?? Reading your problem I would suggest you to do a fresh Stock image installation and then try flashing CM 10.2.
Have you tried restoring your NANDROID backup, if you made one??

I have restored the NANDROID backup successfully, but unfortunately I was lazy and only have the backup from when I first got the phone.
I backed everything up with Titanium Backup right before I tried to flash CM10.2. If I do a complete stock reflash, do I lose all the data I backed up with TB? I do have some app data that I would really like to keep if possible.
One other resort I thought of was flashing a different custom ROM (Paranoid Android maybe?) and then restoring my TB backup. Would there be any reason that I shouldn't be able to reflash CM after I've restored the stock NANDROID?

Try this.
As you are able to go in recovery,
Wipe cache , dalvik cache, system, data install PA 3.97 flash pa_gapps then supersu v1.51(for root,also enable app+adb from developer option)
wipe cache and dalvck again and reboot..
P.S : Charge your battery first to 80% minimum and flash the rom.
If the above doesn't help,
Backup all you valuable data into pc, backup app+data through TB move it to pc and flash the factory image through fastboot.

I ended up flashing the stock image and completely wiping all data. I then tried to install CM10.2 again and it still hung at the CM boot animation for about 15 minutes. It shouldn't take that long to flash, right?

Did you use the Franco.Kernel for the JSS build?

On my G900P, I made a CWM NANDroid backup of 4.4.4 stock rooted ROM. Then I did a full wipe and installed Cyanogenmod 5.0 ROM. Then to revert back I wiped everything (including dalvik cache) and tried to recover the NANDroid backup, which seems to complete without errors, but every user application will force close when launched. Also, SMS or Calls cannot connect.
So is the NANDroid backup corrupt? Did it not flash properly when I recovered it? (tried multiple times)
My suggestion would be to flash the stock rom which is the same version as your NANDroid, 4.4.4, first. Then restore your NANDroid backup.
You shouldn't have to, but it might work.
That doesn't seem to work. The apps still force close / stop working over and over. Here's a lengthy logcat. Anyone have any ideas?
