Hi
In preparation for a flash to stock (a la undercover and efrant), I backed up twice via cwm and downloaded to my PC via the browser server and also carried out app backups to each of drop box and box using Titanium.
Having flashed a stock image as described, I find that neither cwm backup works (unexpected end of archive and md5 mismatch) and when I restore either Titanium backup the data for the Safe Notes app isn't restored.
So my question is mainly: how do I ensure a reliable backup?
Secondly, does anyone have any ideas how to restore my important Safe Notes data?

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 am new to this rooting world....I rooted my nexus 4 a week back using Nexus root toolkit v1.8.
I then flashed cm11 onto my phone.
I have TWRP recovery on my phone.
I want a full backup of my apps+data+ROM. How's this possible?? Which of these backups allow this..... And how to do these backups.
Also can anyone explain what a kernel is??
Titanium backup can only backup part of your data. Simply because apps can't access everything.
If you want a full backup, you should make a nandroid backup. Which is simply the name for a backup you do through your recovery. (TWRP in your case)
And the explanation of a kernel is really easy to find. So you'll have to use Google for that (I can't really think of a good explanation atm)

Just use the backup toggle in twrp. And no, you can't backup direct to your pc. But afterwards you can copy the backup to your pc. It's good practice to have at least one recent backup there just in case something happens where you'll need it.

Some More Question Regarding Backups :-
Backing Up Using The ROM Manager (By Clockwork Mod) also performs the Nandroid Backup ???
Also when I Restore My Nandroid Backup (Of ROM1) while i am using some other ROM(ROM 2) .....flash the device into the ROM 1 settings and all the systems settings+apps.???

First, don't use rom manager. You don't need it
A nandroid is like a copy of the entire os and all your apps and user settings. If your running rom2 and you restore rom1 all your settings of rom 2 will be forgotten and the ones you had in rom 1 when you backed it up will be restored.

Although this is not really accurate, but this is as close as I can get to. Think of a phone like a car. The engine part which is essential to make your car runs is your kernel while the body, doors, sidemirrors and everything else are part of a rom. Kernel is in the deeper layer of the system.
I am facing wierd problems after restoring a nandroid backup that i had created. For eg. I am unable to send pictures using whatsapp and also unable to create conversation backups. Google camera is also not saving pictures and crashing. There are similar problems with few apps. Any solutions plz?

Hello,
Next time please make a double post only after 24H without an answer, otherwise modify the one before.
CWM and TWRP recoveries don't backup and restore /preload partition, only Philz does. In that partition there are some system apps/services, without them you may have weird errors or something not working at all. The only way to restore stock ROM in your case is to reflash with Odin. Next time use Philz recovery to backup your stock ROM (enabling custom backup and including /preload) if you don't want to use Odin again

Hello everyone, I just rooted my Note 3 and want to flash Dr.Ketan's latest room. But I want to make sure that I had a backup of everything like EFS, IMEI, Modem and everything else on my phone. There is a option in CWM recovery of backup. Does this backup backsup everthing? Or any other way of doing full backup?

rooted and rommed a friend's note 3 to jasmine, and before we did it we upgraded titanium backup to the pro edition via marketplace, without realizing that it had deleted all three backups that were all in separate locations, one in the default location, one on the SD card and one in the phone's internal storage.
before I did anything to the phone rom wise I made a nandroid backup via twrp and I cannot boot it into an emulator successfully AND get the texts from it through installing titanium backup, creating a backup and copying it off, didn't work out.
so now what I need is a way to load up a nandroid backup without corrupting the backup. every time I try to restore the backup into the phone it bootloops, only thing I can think of that would interfere with it is the kernals, NC2/4. jasmine is currently running on NC2 and the stock firmware with the texts on it uses NC4, when I tried reflashing NC4 to the device after reintalling the backup it bootlooped, and vice versa with NC2.
thoughts/suggestions? sol on the texts?
thanks.

I'll give it a go.
followed the steps found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/general/extract-restore-sms-mms-contacts-call-t1370349
and had no success, doing the same via root explorer and nandroid manager to get the original files from the backup, nothing was restored.
I'm assuming that they're just gone after that?
rom manager text restore found nothing, quite a few were backed up though so who knows. not a good thing to lose them all.
