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 all, I updated to a beta of Paranoid Android that screwed up everything. I created a backup ( and actually have several more older ones) with ClockworkMod Recovery. The very latest backup will not restore for whatever reason, but the main issue is that it's the only backup I can even see.
All the other backup folders don't even show up in recovery. Accessing /sdcard/ I can see them all. Any ideas on how to restore?
Actually, the one backup that CWM Recovery shows, I can't see under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
I'm guessing CWM Recovery is pointed in the wrong directory..?
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.

I made a nandroid backup using TWRP 2.7.0.0 of a CM11 M6 install. When I try to restore it, all the apps show up but there's no data for any of them. They all act as if it's the first time I've run them. Also, all my "Accounts" have disappeared so when it first boots, I've to log into Google & Cyanogenmod again. But system settings and wifi are all there.
What I've tried:
- Tried to update to TWRP 2.7.1.0 and restore again, but no joy.
- I tried to restore the backup I made before I updated to CM11 of a CM10.2 (I think) install and that fails with no error message while restoring /data.
- Restoring app data using Titanium Backup from a nandroid backup. It crashes halfway through, though.
What I'm going to try:
- Restoring again, wiping cache/dalvik, installing same rom + gapps over the restore.
- Restoring app data from the nandroid backup using Nandroid Manager.
- Restoring apps + data from my Titanium Backup backup from about a week ago. It's not up to date so I was hoping to avoid using it.
Any other ideas? What could be causing it?
It looks like this did the trick: - Restoring again, wiping cache/dalvik, installing same rom + gapps over the restore.
I got the advice from this xda thread:

Now I've to wait and see whether it's stable. Doing a TB backup now. I'll make an ADB one after this one, as well as another nandroid one, though I've had nothing but trouble with the last four-five nandroid backup/restores I've done.
Hello guys!
I was updating from 4.4.4 to lollypop via OTA, then I realized that even if I run the stock ROM, I am still unlocked + root, meaning that the OTA won't run.
I did a complete nandroid backup via Wugs Nexus Toolkit, including data.
Then I wiped and flashed the new 5.0 via Nexus Toolkit, but when I tried to restore only the data it didn't work.
I decided to go back to 4.4.4. and do things properly, but now I'm not able to restore anything.
I am not bothered with the apps and stuff, but I had plenty of pictures which I forgot to backup, and I want to restore them. I even tried to access the nandroid backup files, but no success!
I was accustomed with the old CMW, where you had the .img files, but I got no clue on what to do here!
I add the picture of the nandroid backup folder on my PC ( I think the data files are splitted, but I cannot open them in any case, not even with 7zip).
The nandroid was executed via Nexus Toolkit, but I guess it has been done through TRWP.
Long story short:
1) how can I access the pictures inside the nandroid backup?
2) how can I restore a nandroid backup that keeps failing?

Maybe CWM does things differently, I don't know, but with TWRP, a Nandoid backup doesn't back up your SD card partition, so if you wiped everything, all your pics are gone. Sorry.
Yeah, I guess so.. Managed to recover something with DISK DIGGER (its an app, free on the store). Just wanted to write it here, so if anyone has the same issue can recover this way!
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.
