Restore problems after using Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.0 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my device with success, But when i come to restore it then is starts to restore the 2nd app then it reboots and stops restoring. When I rooted my Nesus i was running 4.2 non rooted, any ideas ?

What do you mean by "restore"? Since I don't use toolkits, I don't know what this step is doing here...
If it's restoring apps, I would not restore them, and re-install them after the system boots up. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding this.

Took it is from WugFresh
I backed up my apps and sd card, and I have android *.ab since rooted and going back to stock, I can't restore my apps or my other files from sd card. I even flashed,back to 4.1

Any way to edit the *. Ab file to remove the apps,?

I'm not sure man, as I don't use toolkits to do things, I do things the manual way and re-install my apps as needed from the Play Store, or use Titanium Backup to create an update.zip with my installed apps so I can flash it after a fresh ROM install.
I have 0 experience with this, so someone else will have to chime in to help.

Okay thanks

Complete backup and restore.

I would like to do a complete back up of the kernel, rom, apps, data, etc. and move it all over to another Nexus 7.
Is it possible to do a complete backup and restore via USB? Backup to Desktop, and then restore into the new 7?
If so, what is the best way?
Thanks!
If you use an older version of cwm (pre 6.x.x.x) it will create a single backup file instead of the current system with the blobs folder. However I would be very wary of moving one backup to another

Let me explain. I am replacing my Nexus 7 with a new one, and don't want to have to set it all up again because it's perfect right now
No clean way to do this? I have to just rebuild it all over again on the new 7?
If you are rooted, you can almost do it that easy, but you would need to unlock and root the new device first, install recovery and then move the saved nandroid backup to the new device and use recovery to restore that and you would have a copy of your old device on the new one.
The last time I did that,I was up and running on the new device in about 15-20 mins.

If you are not rooted, there is another method, but I've never actually tried doing it, so I don't know how well it works.

Thanks. That helps alot. I am rooted so should be good to go. I was not aware that the nandroid file could be saved and restored to a new device.

On my Android phone, Nandroid does not back up the internal (/emmc) data nor the /sdcard data. Does it back up EVERYTHING on the Nexus 7?

[Q] Rooting Help

Is there anyway that I can root my nexus 7 and right after that, restore all my previous data back onto my device just like I had not done anything?
All I want to do is root so that I can just change the kernel I am running to get better performance but still maintain decent battery life.
I want to know if i can backup before I root and restore from that backup after I have rooted just so I don't have to lose my game data, pictures, etc.
Right now the way I have done it was just restoring from Google cloud where I still get all my apps back but not the app data.
I have been using Wugfresh's latest tool kit
Look up adb backup in Google. That's how I did it.

Thanks Gizmoe, I will look into this, it's just a pain to have to keep losing all of that important data every time I root or unroot.
Titanium backup works great but it is a catch 22 as it is for rooted devices,
Once rooted though you can use rootkeeper to temporarily unroot if you need to run one of the few apps that require it.

Stuck at Samsung logo

Hi all,
I was hoping someone could shed sime light to my situation. I have a rogers S4 and I rooted it via motochopper and it worked fine. Restored all my apps from Titanium backuoband all was well.
This morning my phone then got stuck at the samsung boot screen and I had to wipe data via the stock recovery to get iy working again...
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? This is thr 3rd time this has happened

My guess would be the titanium backup. As it can mess things up, once in a while.

I would blame TB mess ups more on old data being restored that causes problems, than TB itself.
OP... Are your app backups from a different ROM? If so, then I would try restoring without data. Or fresh app installs.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
are you restoring system apps? or just user apps? if you are restoring system apps or something like the messaging storage, will normally cause problems in TB.
best to just connect to wifi and download all the apps again from playstore.
What I would do is odin back to stock do not restore anything for a day or 2, and monitor it. If it never does it again, then it was your backup, keep in mind some apps that worked on the G3, may not work on the G4.
Yes, this is Titanium, it happenned to me too, remember that doing that is like copying everything in the C: Program Files of a PC, formating the computer and restoring that folder, it might work, but you might end up in a lot of trouble overtime since the OS installs different part everywhere. Use Carbon aka Helium, its a much cleaner way to go
I was restoring apps (with data) and the backups were from older ROMs I used in my nexus 4. I am currently trying a non-rooted method for a few days and see if this problem reoccurs

UPDATE: so far so good... My setup is currently unrooted and I haven't had this issue appear. I'm gonna root in a few days and monitor it again

[Q] Titanium won't install any app backups from a different phone.

I just got my Nexus 4 today, and I flashed CM 10.2 on it. So I transfer all of my backups from the SD card of my Galaxy S4(yes, I'm switching from an S4 for the full Nexus experience). I go in Titanium to restore my apps, but it just gets stuck restoring the first app and does nothing at all. I've tried creating a .zip of the apps, but the restore of them fails. Anyone know how I can fix this?

If you have backed your apps from the S4 and trying to restore them on Nexus 4 it won't restore as S4 is tochwiz and they have different frameworks.. In this case you will have to manually install the apps.
Or there might be ROOT issues,did you flash SuperSu v1.51??
Enable the option for root = app+adb
NOob ans, have checked the box to install unknown sources in settings??
Try going into tibu's preferences and look for an option that says backup folder location go into that and at the top of the window you'll see a detect button, press that and you see two options to look for backup location one should say "SD card" and the other "whole device" press either and the location you should select when two options come up is pick the pathway that has "legacy" in it when you get back to first window then select "use this folder" at the bottom and you should be back in business. Hope this helps.

What gives you that idea? Everything except system apps and Samsung apps should restore fine.

Looks to be similar to my problem.
I'm on some unofficial CM10.2 and it has superuser integrated, so there's neither Superuser nor SuperSU app.
First I tried to restore backups I had on my Desire HD which was running CM10.1 - this failed horribly and resulted in every restored app crashing before even starting.
I thought there could be some problems restoring apps from another device but I've read it here: it shouldn't.
Even worse: backups that I make now on Nexus 4 result in the same disaster: after restoring data the app refuses to work, it just crashes over and over again. I do have SuperSU as flashable zip on my Nexus 4, but for this ROM I have not flashed it since there was superuser integrated :/
Should I better change the ROM? I don't even know where I found this unofficial CM10.2 :laugh:
And while we're at it: I've seen some "radios" for Nexus 4 and I suppose mine is still the one that came with JOP40C - is it necessary to flash a newer one? So far I haven't noticed any misbehaviour.
And to let it all out: on this unofficial CM10.2 I tried to change the "Minimum CPU frequence" because it seemed to me that 1026MHz is a little bit high for minimum. However, I change it and as soon as I leave the menu and return to it, the frequencies and the governor as well are the same as before.
What to do?

Latest superSU is 1.60 http://download.chainfire.eu/350/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.60.zip. User apps and data should easily be restored with TB. Maybe try to change the backup location to /storage/emulated//legacy/TitaniumBackup.

[solved]Clockworkmod Backups

Anyone having trouble making nandroid backups using clockworkmod? I'm using the latest version of clockworkmod touch and stock 4.4. I run the backup, it appears to run fine, says it's finished, but when I reboot there is no backup files. This has happened multiple times, including getting burnt by modifying a system file and then finding out my backup is non-existent. I'm used to TWRP, but someone told me it doesn't work with 4.4 so I switched.

Maybe you are looking into the wrong directory.. mine is located at Device\Data\Media\Clockworkmod\Backup.
Hope that helps!

That was it, thanks!
I guess I'm used to TWRP where it is saved under /sdcard/TWRP, plus I was thrown off by the clockworkmod folder at /sdcard/clockworkmod
I just wasted a couple hours setting everything up because I couldn't find the backup
