I have successfully rooted my device using the version 2.0.0 of the toolkit. I think I'm going to donate a few euros to get the latest, the author deserves all the money.
A few questions:
What exactly is CWM? What's the difference between a backup made with titanium backup and a backup made with CWM? Is it enough to backup the system settings or do I need to backup even the apps? I mean the list of installed and purchased apps should be always available on the Google play account, at least I hope so...
Should I download the latest version of CWM (the . IMG file) and flash it with the toolkit or should I use the integrated version that seems to be IN the toolkit?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
A CWM backup will backup everything. If you restore it, your device will be exactly the same as it was when the backup was made.
Titanium backup only backs up apps and their data
But with titanium backup do I need to backup all the or only their data?
Is CWM useful even to install other Roms?
Sorry for the confusion: I'm not an expert.
Clock work mod will backup your entire android build as it is. all data, apps, settings, contacts, messages. etc
Titanium will backup apps and their data only
If you bork your software or try another rom then decide you want to go back, a Cwm backup will take you right back to the exact point you made the backup
Titanium is useful to have when changing roms because after loading a new one you can load your previous apps & data into your new rom whereas Cwm would completely overwrite the rom
In essence they are similar but perform completely different tasks

With titanium I usually just backup all user apps with data (meaning anything you have downloaded that is not part of the rom)
You cannot flash a new rom with titanium. that is what Cwm is for
Cwm deals with the roms
Titanium deals with apps

CWM is a recovery mod used for Flashing new rom while at the same time gives you handy things to do like, do a NANDROID- Creating a image for ur current rom and all its sys settings with apps and there data. U can also Flash other things like a previously created Update.zip for Titanium Backup, which is helpful after u have flashed a new rom and want all ur previous apps and data back.
A small thing a consider sharing, When Flashing a new ROM, Back up only the apps+data thing and not the System. As ur new ROM will have its own System settings (better to adjust it then than bfore). Now, also Create an update.zip, which a mentioned earlier from TitBckp Menu.
Have Fun.

Thanks.
I still don't get the point of backing up apps. I mean: their settings (and system settings) ok but why backup something that can be downloaded again from google play store? I guess my account keeps record of my installed and (above all) purchased apps (tapatalk only). Am I wrong?
Other question:
I'm using the stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 rooted and I don't want to mess with cooked roms whatsoever. I rooted the device in order to get USB on the go support and TiBackup.
Will I get updates from google or I will have to manually flash a rooted version of an updated Rom? I think I will have to install CWM at the end, I guess

You do not have to lock your bootloader to get an update only reason to lock it is if you have to return it

So, in my condition (rooted stock rom) will I get the official google updates without doing anything?
You will still get the updates but Cwm will not be able to install them.
You would need the stock recovery to apply ota updates
In reference to your previous question regarding titanium. You could re download the apps from play store after a wipe.
Titanium also restores any preferences you had saved. And in the case of games it will also restore your progress & game saves

Thanks, so there's no point in backing up the whole app, we only need its data and settings.
I haven't installed cwm yet. Did you use the toolkit downloadable from another thread in this forum? If yes, does the toolkit automatically download the latest version of cwm?
I'm not sure with the tooolkits
I have never rated them
It's much wiser to learn to do these things manually as it really doesn't take very much learning and it's always valuable to know what to do in case you bork something

Does cwm also backup sripts like link2sd and 2nd fat32 partition?
Some apps not working after updated to 4.2, so I'm considering back to 4.1.2.
Though I never done this before since the day I get Nexus 7,
I think use Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit should get it done.
But just for sure:
1. Do I need to unlock/root to flash factory 4.1.2 image? (I think it is not but not so sure)
2. Directory structure seems different from 4.1.2, is it OK just using Toolkit to backup/restore settings?
(Sorry for my English if anything looks impolite)
1) unlock bootloader yes; root no, as you're going to overwrite the system anyways.
Also I'd suggest not using a toolkit, just download the factory image off google's page and run the "flash-all.bat"
2) Use Titanium Backup to backup all app data, wipe after flashing 4.1.2 and then restore apps + data with Titanium again
I just downgraded this morning. All your data will be wiped .. ALL YOUR DATA ... meaning, after I got back to 4.1.2 I was having 13GB of free space on the tablet (out of 13 possible) .
So, if you HAVE a nandroid from the 4.1.2 days, save it to your computer (along with all your files).
If you don't have a 4.1.2 nandroid, at least create now a backup repository with whatever tool you prefer and then save the respective files to PC.
Then, flash the factory image for 4.1.2.
Then copy all your files back to the internal memory, install the backup tool and restore your apps.
The reason behind this is that the update from 4.1.2 to 4.2 has some scripts that are porting the original /data and /sdcard mounts to the new structure used in 4.2
When downgrading, you no longer have scripts to do that for you so the newly installed 4.1.2 will not recognize anything so it will bootloop like crazy (I tried first to restore just the /system ... but all the other data was already affected by the update so was no longer usable).
My thoughts:
If you got the ota, and things messed up, try flashing the 4.2 factory image. That seemed to help me. If you're not rooted already, I would recommend becoming familiar with the adb backup command to backup apps before doing anything else. You have to unlock the boot loader to downgrade or flash the factory 4.2 image, and this will wipe the device.
Once you update either way, definitely take the time to root. You can then use adb restore or titanium backup to restore from the adb backup you made before unlocking.
Just be aware that adb backup doesn't seem to backup all apps, and that titanium backup isn't exactly fast parsing through a big adb backup file.

Assumed you are referring to downgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.1.2 and rooted to run TB, so the basic stock rom is up & running otherwise, correct?
Let's try Plan B instead - go into (Custom) Recovery and wipe dalvik cache first, then reboot. Give it a few minutes to settle and try to do your TB restore WITHOUT data, and see if it works. The /SD and/or /SD/0 directory structures are setup differently on the N7 and trying to retore with your custom settings will just make it more difficult & complicated. If this works, you can then try to selectively restore one or more with data and hopefully without going into endless bootloop again.
Plan C - go to Play Store, then Settings and "All" - you should see all of your Apps and what's installed, etc. - and install from there, it's semi-manual but it works for me 99.8% of the time when it would otherwise freeze within TB, especially true when switching custom Rom & kernels.
I usually manually copy & move back items such as documents, pictures & mp3's, etc. from standalone/usb backup drives or cloud storage back into the device once everything else are up & running properly.
Let us know if this helps & working for you or not.
Thankss !

Thanks for your help , but I think the problem was that there were apps in the backup only compatible with the custom ROM I had and android 4.2.1 xD
I restored the apps one by one , but I think if I deleted the extra custom rom apps , the process would have finished without any problems
Hi fellow people,
i'm a noob just made my xda account like 5 mins ago. I've been trying to search for my problem but I haven't really a found a direct answer. So yesterday I just got my Samsung Galaxy nexus update to 4.2.1. I was really excited until I started having the battery issues, screen lock issues, and overheating problem. I really don't like 4.2.1 and want to downgrade my version back 4.1.2. My carrier is the Mobicility (Canadian). I did not do anything previously with this phone such as rooting it, doing all the funky stuff that will void my warranty. I heard about flashing some google images to get back 4.1.2 but I'm not sure if I need to root or how to like do it through the gnex toolkit that mskip made. As well what if the difference between yakju and maguro? I heard if you flash the wrong image it will brick your phone or something like that. If there is a method without having to root it and lose all my contacts, then I would prefer that a lot.
Thanks,

You dont have to root but you need to UNLOCK the bootloader which will obviously erase all your data(and VOID your warranty). you can find the factory image here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . just flash the appropriate image and you should be as good to go.

Hi
I´ve flashed a new rom today (MMuzzy Rom) and did a backup (NANDROID with TWRP) before.
Now that i wanted to restore my device i just wondered that there are still no apps.
Then i noticed the download icon on top and noticed that my phone downloads now my 123 apps ive installed before - i mean how far is this the sense of a NANDROID backup?

That wasn't Nandroid. That was Google, and it was just the apps, not the app's data.

Exactly what he said. You must have clicked on Google back up and restore during your log in process.

If you did actually do a backup in TWRP, you should be able to enter recovery then perform an advanced restore of some sort and restore the data partition. I don't use TWRP but I imagine it has similar functionality to CWM so there should be a similar option somewhere.
OK i guess now its doing its nandroid restore (i chose Restore Nandroid Backup with custom recovery in Root Toolkit). All apps show up and none have been downloaded. Im just wondering why its actually taking that long (ten and a half hours and counting)
I canceled the restore now and doing ist right now in TWRP so i guess i shall restore everything except Boot (i´ve flashed a new kernel) and system (i´ve flashed a new rom)
Edit: Now its stuck on booting for like 10 minutes - what shall i do?
I've gone today from a custom ROM (Smooth ROM 5.2) manually to JWR66V JB 4.3.
Before that I made a Titanium Backup and then a factory reset.
I've insalled a pre-rooted rom from a zip file with CWM recovery. I've also flashed SU
(SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip).Busybox is installed, TB root acceess granted.
The app sees all my backup files but still fails to work.
I can neither backup nor restore anything.
When I try to backup an app I get a "backup failed insufficient free storage" message.
When I try to restore an app it stucks,that is is starts and keeps restoring until I manually close TB.
I would appreciate your helping ideas. Thanks!
I have the same problem, I was stck 4.2.2 updated to 4.3 (erasing everything) via fastboot, everything great and fine, flashed SU, all ok and working but TB refuses to restore anything. It just cycles... any clues?

I've found the way restoring apps & settings. It's a workarond. Flashed 4.2.2 JDQ39 and rooted ROM, flashed CWM. Installed TB. Recovered what I wanted.
Downloaded flashable zip from here:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/Nexus7/roms/4.3rooted/Stock-Rooted-4.3-grouper-by-Androguide.zip
and SU from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/340/SuperSU/SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip?retrieve_file=1
I have flashed both. It's no wipe.
TB still fails to work however. I try fixing permissions now
"integrate updates into rom" function seem not working, too... it's extremely fast, and does nothing in the end... using latest TB pro...
Just change the load/restore path of TB

As explained a few posts ago by nasty007 (thanks buddy by the way), titanium backup uses an incorrect path... even if it founds your previous backups.
(see _https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z12rw1urfveawxfxm04cjl1aoor5ezninhc)
Change the path from /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup to /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup to fix the problem.

Note: I know it's a different device and I'm not subscribing to this thread, but I just want to chime in and say the folder path mentioned in this linked article sorted TB out for me on my HTC One...
In TB I chose to change to backup path, scanned for backup folders, and simply selected the 'legacy' path that it detected.. After changing the backup path from `/storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup` to `/storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup` everything started working again. This just saved me a good few GBs of downloading...

My question is regarding restoring TB's in Android 4.3 vs 4.2.x. Do you need to change the backup path before you backup while in a 4.2.x rom or when you are in the 4.3 rom and want to restore? I am a noob so please excuse if this is a silly question.
I have CM 10.1.3 (running 4.2.2) in my rom slot 1 and I want to flash LiquidSmooth 2.10 (running 4.3) in rom slot 3 so I want to know if I can restore my user apps & data in Titanium Backup once I'm in a 4.3 rom. I have the free version of TB but I will buy the paid version if what I am asking is possible. Please help if possible. Thanks!

Do backup of your apps with Titanium backup. backup your SDCARD to a PC, wipe, flash fresh 4.3 and then restore data/apps... you can't use OTA because it checks your system for modifications.... it is good to wipe a device once in a while anyway, especially if you tweak it a lot

Yes. Dalanik's suggestion is that you backup your apps and data, then wipe, then flash 4.3, then restore apps and data. To do this, you need a backup of your apps and data alone, without the Rom. That's what titanium backup does. If you were to try this with the Nandroid backup you made using Rom manager, you'd just end up back where you started.

Well, yes, beats mod qualifies as a "tweak" or a changed system
Yes, I know what you;'re saying, with 4.2.2 I think somebody posted modified OTA zip and it didn't check for changes (or not ALL anyway) I updated like that too, because I didn't want to lose my data. But now I just did Titanium and reset the whole thing.
IF you mean nandroid backup, that is good, but that is the image of your whole system. You need backup of each application so you can restore them.
What I did is just waited for most of the apps to re-install from the google play automatically and then restored the rest from Titanium.
