Hello All,
I had a TPT with rooted ThinkPadTablet_A400_03_007_132_WE.
Yesterday I installed CWM from here and made a backup of the ICS using the standard dup format.
Then went on to install CM10.
All worked fine and CM10 seems great.
However, I forgot to do a TitaniumBackup of the apps in ICS.
So I went back to CWM to restore the backup ICS.
Here comes the problem.
At restoration, CWM breaks saying it cannot restore system data.
I then cleared cache/data/dalvik and tried again to restore ICS. No luck.
So I´m stuck with CM10 now. Does anyone have an idea how I could recover my ICS installation.
If not, I want to recover it to backup the app I bought through the Lenovo store, which I can no longer reinstall in CM10. Any ideas how I could achieve that?
Thanks a lot,
Bruno

Hello peeps,
I am very confused as to why my nandroid backup doesn't want to restore my data.
I've been doing this many time over the past half-year....
Today, I wanted to try the new nightly of CM7, so I flashed and backed-up using ROM Manager, everything was fine. (went from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4)
Now I am trying to do a restore and it works until "restoring data" and it gets stuck there then the ClockWorkMod restarts....
Is there any way to save this?
Is my nandroid backup corrupt?
Did I just lose everything? Help!!!
Thanks a lot guys!

It sounds like it is corrupt. Do you have another NANDROID besides the one your restoring?
no.... sadly just this one... is there a way to every get this back??? i am doing the "advanced restore" and doing them one by one... boot worked, system worked, cached worked.... data is... not (
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!
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
Hey guys!
So yesterday, I installed the app 'Android Control Center'. I messed around with a few settings and ended up in a bootloop. I do not have anything backed up in Titanium backup. So I made a nandroid backup in the hope that id be able to restore my apps out of that by using nandroid manager, but all of my app data were not extracted from the nandroid. So now im planning to restore the nandroid backup and use TWRPs file manager to remove that apk and its data. Are there any other things I should do to fix this problem? Will this work??
Guys, any help is appreciated!!!
Hardly believe that app can cause your system into bootloop... anyway, if you want to try.
Titanium Backup can restore apps from Nandroid backup, preferably CWM tar backup. However, this function is currently having issues with Android 4.3, so if you want to reflash the ROM, pick ROM with 4.2.2.
I believe TWRP backup should also works, but I haven't try it before. If you need to use TWRP, do it without compression & encryption.
IMO your problem can be a simple fix by remove the faulty app and reflash the ROM.
just reflash your rom via recovery, dont wipe, you wont lose any data
Alright thanks for the response. I copied my TWRP backup to my PC, extracted it and now I'm trying to copy the data folder from my TWRP backup to my ROM's data folder. Hopefully, this will work.
PS - I removed the app and i reflashed the rom but that didn't seem to fix the problem.

What it says on the tin. I backed up using ROM Manager to launch the backup. I was upgrading to the CM11m6 from CM10.2 but that led to a failed boot followed by boot into recovery so I decided to restore. Restoring has left just CM`s built-in apps, a few gapps and one paid app. I thought nandroid backups were like imaging a computer and you got everything back? I stupidly didn't make backups with TitaniumBackup thinking it was unnecessary.
So, any ways for me to get all my apps back?
Update for googlers: I used Nandroid Manager to restore the missing apps from the backup. Hope that helps someone else with this situation!
I discovered a new issue while I continued to use CM 10.2.1--some apps updated and then it went into a bootloop again. Luckily I had am so I restored it and restored the missing apps again. I suspect it's either Gmail, Google Text-to-Speech, Google+ or Android Terminal Emulator. Google didn't reveal anybody else having this problem yet with the latest updates, so I must have some very unique issue.
As for updating to CM11, I'm gonna try creating another image (which'll hopefully restore all apps!) after it gets stable and trying updating to CM M5 instead of M6 which seems to have caused a bootloop for at least one person, too. I can't post outside links yet, so that person's report can be found by googling this phrase including quotation marks: "Update From 10.2.1 Stable To 11 M6 Causes Boot Loop".
Another update for googlers: The problem of apps-not-restoring seems to have been caused by version 2.6.0.0 of TWRP. I tried updating to 2.6.3.1 using both GooManager and TWRP Manager but it didn't stick. Used Nexus Root Toolkit to upgrade TWRP to 2.7.0.0, though. Restoring the image with that restored all the apps as far as I can figure out. Yay! Now I don't have to wait 3-4 hours for the app restore process to finish on top of the nandroid restore.
