[Q] Nandroid and repartition

Is it possible to do a nandroid on stock partition table, then install repartition from Geno and then restore from that nandroid?
I don't think so but do a pinkscreen backup in case
Sent from my Impulse 4g running vPure Professional CM7.
Sorry for opening this old thread again, but im interested in getting the answer for this question aswell.
Im currently on the stock partition but i need more ROM space to install various mods, could i take a nandroid backup now and then install forumber2's partition and then restore it? Would it mess up something? Hoping for some expert to answer this!

[Q] Manually restore files from MIUI backup?

Hi guys,
strange question: I was on an old MIUI GB ROM and decided to upgrade to the official MIUI JB ROM. Saved everything using MIUI backup. I then installed the ROM (NativeSD) and everything went wrong. When I finally got it working ok, it was way laaaaaaaaaagy, so I decided to try tytung's CM10 JB ROM.
Stupid me - didn't take a Titanium or image backup in recovery. I do however have the MIUI backup file. Anyone know of a way that I can either automatically or manually use the data in the MIUI backup to restore at least my game saves, SMS's etc in CM?
Any help appreciated!

CWM restore failed : data.img not found

Hi everybody,
First of all I want to say thanks to this community because I found a lot of informations here and solved many problems I had.
I searched all the day and I don't know what to do with the issue I get now...
I decided to install JellyBlast V3 on my Galaxy Y GT-S5360. Before that I made a backup of my stock ROM with ClockWorkMod (v5.0.2.6) and then I installed JBV3.
All was allright and I wanted to restore my datas only from the backup with the CWM advanced restore. That didn't work (Maybe because I can't restore datas from a different ROM?)
So, I wanted to make a complete restore from the same backup to get all my datas back, but I get the following message :
"data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /scard/.android_secure.
Restore complete!"
The phone can boot up but my datas are not restored at all.
I explored the backup folder and there is no "data.img"... but in some resolved threads I read people didn't have it neither... and I am a big optimist so I kept searching...
I tried to restore again but with another zip file of CWM (who resolve some bugs) I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27475895
But It failed again with the same issue.
I read that if the kernel changed the restoring is not possible anymore so a previous kernel have to be installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27475895 )
To be sure, I installed a stock ROM with Odin by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800
I picked the S5360_XXKL3_OXXKL1_XXKL3 bundle.
Since I installed the fresh ROM I tried to restore datas again, but I got the same issue again...
So, I want to understand why I get this error ?
Maybe flashing with a stock ROM is not enought to replace the present kernel by the original one ?
Thanks for enlighted me (and sorry for my english)
By any chance is your CWM called gt-s5360CWM or something
You have to backup with a clean CWM and restore with the same clean CWM

Indeed, the first CWM I used to create the backup was "GT-S5360_CWM.zip" but the restore doesn't work.
The second CWM I tried is called "CWM_bla_bla.zip" and the restore failed with this one too.
I think the backup I made is not proper
Thank you for your help.
PS : if my backup is corrupted, is there a way to recover at least my contacts with a backup explorer or something ?
EDIT : I think my backup is definitely not good, I made another one with the "unbugged" CWM and It makes more files including a "data.rfs.tar" file...

[Q] What does TRWP save? Please help :(

Hello guys,
I made a really big mistake by flashing the newest Rayglobe 2.5 ROM. Yesterday I flashed Rayglobe 2.4 and saw few hours later that acer released the 2.5, so I decided before work to copy the new version to my sd card and flash it at work. Few minutes ago I accidentally selected Full Wipe and install the ROM. Now everything is gone on my sd. That sucks, but i made a backup before I flashed Rayglobe 2.4.
Now my question is:
Does TWRP also backup photos and data on sd?
If not, could anybody help me to get my files back? Maybe with a tool to recover lost data.
I can't test it by now, because the backup lies at home.
I solved my problem by restoring most of the files.
If anybody made the same mistake and do a full wipe just use Dr. Fone for Android or follow this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGw1fxUD-uY
Don't waste your time to restore the files otherwise it could be possible that less files are restorable.
regards
