Hey people,
Yea, I just flashed a new ROM and I couldnt remember the apps I used to have. Is there any way I could find out and recover the game saves?
Thanks.

If you downloaded them thru Market then you can goto http://market.android.com and you'll see a list under my account. If you used a non-wipe ROM the data will still be there and unless the apps don't wipe the data themselves you'll be able to access it.
It's a full wipe ROM, I do have a CWM backup. Is there anything I could do with it?

What game is it? Many save game data on the sdcard which isn't included on cwm backups so either you will still have the savedata on your sdcard or it's already gone forever.. otherwise use wunyaffs to unpack your nandroid backup and search through it
I installed the game and it at first stages.
So, I've restored the backup and hope to use titanium backup to backup the games and apps.
Then, flash LeoMar's ROM and then restore through titanium backup.
Is there anything wrong that I could be possibly doing?

Will doing a Factory Reset on the N7 wipe ALL my data including my sd storage for example...the 'Downloads" folder. Will it wipe that too, or just the apps and OS
I played with a brand new unit for a week and will be giving the device to the owner after reviewing it. When I did the factory reset it wiped everything including the internal sdcard.
It still has recovery on it (TWRP) but nothing else. Would have to push superuser to it again.

Yes it wipes everything. If you're in clockwork mod you can do a factory reset and keep your sd card files.

Hi, all. I will be selling my Galaxy Nexus in a few days and I want to wipe all data prior to selling it. I know about factory reset but I want to know if they are any additional steps or things I should do to make sure none of my data remains on it. It has never been rooted and is running the latest stock software. Thanks.

Just realized I posted in the wrong forum. Sorry.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
yea wrong forum but regardless... just go to the settings and then storage... over there should be an option to format SD card... and if there isnt... then by default when you wipe, it will format the sd card...
or alternatively you can format the sd card from the recovery menu...
Here's the deal. I want to factory reset my nexus so I can remove the unlock pin. Question is I can't seem to really get an answer. If I do the factory data reset from the menu will I lose my data from the emulated SD card. According to the picture. I will, but I looked this up and according to some website and other xda members. I won't. Since I've only had this phone for about a month now and this is the first phone that I've had with a SD slot. I honestly don't know what will happen if I hit that reset button.

Back up your storage to a computer and see what happens. They only way I've been able to erase my data was formatting in recovery or locking then unlocking the bootloader.

Yes a factory reset will wipe all user data on the phone if done from settings/backup and restore/reset device. Backup files first.
The nexus 4 doesn't have an SD card slot. You will lose all data unless you've made a backup in recovery or on your computer. And yes, it will wipe the /sdcard folder.

I know sorry meant without just didn't notice it and yeah I figured so. Guess I'll have to wait a bit before I do a reset then.

If you factory reset in stock recovery it wipes the lot

Yeah this is what I mean. I keep on getting different answers.
But I'll just back things up on a PC and then attempt to factory reset.

Doing a factory reset in stock recovery will wipe everything
Doing a factory reset in custom recovery will not wipe SD context
Unlocking the bootloader and rebooting will wipe everything
Unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery then wipe cache and reboot will not wipe SD context

Just go to security settings and choose a different lock style !!! Unless you have forgot your pin ??
What recovery are you using ?
I have no issues doing.........
Go to settings and backup and reset option, choose the factory data reset.
Now this will wipe your user data and reset your ROM to how it was originally. This does NOT touch your emulated sdcard partition. Basically it resets the ROM and removes all user apps etc.
You can always use TB to back up all user apps 1st then just restore again after. ( obviously you will have to install TB again before you can restore but all data will remain on your " sdcard".
Hope this helps.
Mmmmm actually I am using twrp so maybe I got mistaken as I don't know how it handles on a stock recovery as it does boot into twrp briefly when I do this.
I've done this many times and never lost my sdcard files though.

Do you have an exchange account connected to your phone? Like an outlook email from work or something? A pw is required if you have that connected.

I have CWM Touch Recovery. Never tried TWRP.

Well I'm not sure how the system handles a factory data reset with cwm but I know for sure that using the factory data reset from phone settings does not wipe your internal "SD card" when using twrp. Now be aware I'm not referring to any wipes from recovery,its the wipe from the phone settings in backup and reset.

Okay thanks guys for all the help! I think this thread is done. I flashed TWRP recovery and I Factory Reset in there and it wiped everything that I needed. I got rid of the lock screen and I also found out that TWRP is a pretty amazing recovery. In the end I kept all my data. Just restored apps by Titanium BackUp. Thanks!:thumbup:

So I've gotten myself into a real mess with my nook. I was playing around with it and accidentally deleted my user partition and when I was trying to repair it I ended up wiping it of everything... So as I've been trying to fix it with Nook Manager which creates a backup but I don't think its a functioning one because when I press restore backup nothing happens. I also tried doing a factory restore but it says the factory restore.zip is missing. I can't find either a backup img or a restore.zip for the NST online anywhere. Is there any hope or is this thing gone for good? I would really appreciate any help people can offer.
Can anyone please test this for me?
