Hello,
I have a Nexus 10 (manta) tablet and made a full nandroid backup 10 days ago of the stock+root Android installation. I did that so I would be able to revert back to it if need be after trying out CM 10.1. I found that CM still required some refinement for manta so I wiped the system, did a factory reset and wiped the dalvic cache, then tried restoring the previous backup I made, of the stock system. The backup folder is 2.46GB big and the /data partition is split between two archives. When restoring, the system partition and first data archive seem to backup properly, but after that, the tablet reboots, omitting the second data archive which is pertinent for me to restore all of my apps.
I've installed the latest TWRP, version 2.4.0.0 just in case there was a bug.
How can I fix this and get my tablet back to normal?
Thanks XDA,
Spike
Note: My tablet isn't bricked, I can still boot to the stock rom after doing the incomplete restore but my apps are incomplete.
Edit: I've just updated TWRP to 2.4.1.0 and get a little farther this time. It begins restoring the second /data archive but still reboots during the process.
I'm currently having this issue. Did you ever get it resolved?

I had the same problem, posted a day ago or so about it, but I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121673 and now everything is all good. I just flashed the super wipe zip and then restored and it did NOT reboot during the restore.

I had this problem as well. It was really pissing me off, I think it happens when you have a large backup. Anyways, I just kept trying it, and on the third time it worked for me. Maybe I just got lucky. When restoring it wipes everything anyways, but you can try wiping data, system, and cache beforehand and see if it helps.

My backups are 10GB+ each(I basically make full images to restore to for each ROM) and I never had this issue in the dozens of restores I've done. I always factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, and then format system(wipe ROM) in that order before restoring the image. In a worst case scenario you can factory image the tablet if the restore fails after the stock ROM has been wiped.
Also you said two archives? My backups are just 1 folder with the 5 partitions and 5 md5 files?
I had this issue as well, after trying to restore from checking out the Ubuntu preview. Ended up giving up on it and enjoying as best I can the clean install. Would still like to restore it if possible though.
I was "finally" able to do a full restore of a backup. I had to break up the restore process though. First I restored system and boot. Once that restored I restored data and was able to get a full data restore as well.

Well, I get to join the ranks of the stupid. Ah well.
The objective: To "Re-build" a nandroid backup.
The cause: I wanted to use the new Netflix app, so I nandroided my Evil D 0.32 DHD ROM, downloaded Virtuous Fusion, went into recovery, and like the instructions said, wiped everything. In my tired state, I even did the SD card. Once done, I began to try to flash the new ROM, but could not find the zip. Cursing like a drunken sailor for forgetting to copy the zip file, I mounted the SD Card and my horror grew as I saw it was blank. Wiped.
Since then: I swapped my card with a spare, flashed a ROM, and began a recovery on the card. I got all 5 nandroids from the card back (at least I think I did)... but...
The issue: Each of the folder I recovered has 6 files inside: .android_secure, boot, cache, data, nandroid, recovery, and system. I rebooted into recovery, and tryto flash one. OFC, since they are no longer zips, it failed.
So I zipped one, and it fails as well. No error message just:
CWM Recovery .0.2.4
--Installing /sdcard/Nand1.zip
Finding Update Package
Opening update package
Installing Update
Installation aborted.
Root with gfree and eng hboot.
Ideas?
Just a quick bump and a status update...
Not sure why I was trying to flash backup when I needed to restore...
Anyways, I used the correct menu, restored a backup...
Good news is that 2 of the 5 backups restored no issue. Of the 3 dead ones, 1 was a stock backup, so I don't care about it. However, one of the other 2 is what I needed. (Meaning, the 2 that restored were old, and of the three ones that would not for MD5 issues, one I needed.)
So the question changes.
The 5 nandroids: 1 was stock, 4 were the same ROM, just taken at different points in time.
The reason 2 of them won't restore is failed MD5, which just means 1 byte (or more) has changed.
From what I know, the 6 files - .android_secure, boot, cache, data, nandroid, recovery, and system - all point to certain parts of the phone.
.android_secure - has to do with market from what I know.
cache - won't kill the phone if this is corrupt, cache will just rebuild.
data - the all important file. Your personal data is stored here. Apps, settings, etc.
nandroid - related to md5 and such? Not needed for apps/data
recovery - recovery image
system - the rom itself.
Now, if I am correct, if I restore a working nandroid, and then just the data from a dead nandroid, as long as the ROM was the same between the 2 of them, I should be golden?
right? And issues with this?
What are you worried about losing? Between Google sync and HTC sense sync you'll get most of the important stuff back.

There are many apps which I no longer have a apk for that version (Soundhound? New version has permissions I don't want to give!) that I had there. And my TB backup was on the card as well...
So, anyone know if/how? In short: If I have a damaged nandroid and working nandroid of the same ROM, can I restore the data from the bad one to the good and how?

If you run an md5 of the data img you want, place that in the md5 file (included in the backup folder) it should restore properly. I've been in the same situation as you and that's what I did to fix it.

Hi Guys!
Unlocked, flashed TWRP and rooted phone via twrp su for the first time in my life. Next move is installing custom PA rom. After browsing xda and other sites for many days to learn how to do it, basically, its just doing it in trwp recovery mode the factory reset, clearing cache and clearing delvic cache, then install rom and gapps then clear again then you are done. Is this right?
now, about factory reset, clearing cache and delvic cache in twrp, when you do this, does it in anyway delete or removes any data or setting in my phone just like when doing it in factory reset in the "Backup & Reset" in "settings" or just like what happens when you unlock/lock your phone? Or it does not really "erase anything"? Coz I do not know if I should backup first and if I must back up, I do not know which to backup or if I should have to make a full backup? Because I might not have to do backups after all for flashing PA custom rom and save time and internal space. If clearing caches and factory reset in TWRP doesnt really delete or mess up anything in android mode then I will go ahead now and install the custom PA ROM. so I need your advice before I proceed.
About flashing back stock recovery, I DL the stock 4.2.2 rom from google dev. do I just flash recovery using this file or is there another specific stock recover file to DL and flash into the phone just like what I did when I flashed TWRP which I was able to DL from goo.im?
Hope you could help me with these clarifications. I did try to search and learn from different threads about this but I not 100% sure I understood it correctly. So I made this thread to make sure of facts and clarify these things.
Hope you could enlighten me. Thanks!
Isn`t this clear enough!
Quoted from PA OP:
INSTRUCTIONS,
1. UPDATE RECOVERY
2. FACTORY RESET
3. INSTALL ROM, GAPPS, FIX-IF ANY
4. WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
5. REBOOT
PA 3+ UPDATES DO NOT NEED A FACTORY RESET,
BUT YOU NEED TO INSTALL GAPPS ASWELL.

I hope you would be considerate enough that I have no experience yet on this and I did some browsing and learning thru the guides and threads here in xda and other forums which is why I know the proceedure. I was only clarifying some things this matter that I have quoted now.
also, if someone would be kind enough to lead me to a link where I could find a stock recovery img. the only latest I have found is not JDQ39.
Thanks
Perform a backup of your current ROM first as this will be replaced by paranoid and all app data will be lost when factory resetting.
I don't know where all the need to wipe caches comes from.
Wiping cache and dalvik cache will not erase any of your data
Factory reset will erase all user data (apps, app data, signed in accounts, phone contacts (Google contacts will be downloaded again when you sign into your Google account during setup of new ROM) and SMS messages etc.
Here is the process I usually follow.
Place new ROM & gapps on phone storage
Reboot into twrp
Perform a backup of my working ROM
Factory reset from main page in twrp (the one that says it won't touch your sdcard)
Flash ROM &gapps
Reboot
Once fully setup. Move my old backup from phone storage to pc

Thank you very much for the reply! So in making a backup, i could use the backup feature of twrp and this is enough and would make a FULL backup? Meaning all data, app, settings, vault app and files inside vault and go back into its original state as if nothing happened? Or i am wrong? Should i be making or using another backup method aside from the backup feature of the twrp?

The twrp backup is in essence creating a custom ROM of your phone. Exactly the way it currently is. Including all apps & their data.
If you flash a different ROM and decide you don't like it.
Restore the twrp backup and you will be right back as you was before flashing the custom rom.
If you factory reset (erasing all your data) then restore the backup. It will restore all your data etc...
It's just like a save game. If you mess up. Just reload from there
Note it's not the ultimate tool. If you mess with partitions that are not included in the backup then you might have problems. But for the average user just flashing custom roms . it will backup everything you need

Thanks again for the reply. Now another clarification. So when you say the twrp back is just like making a rom of its current status or like a saved game and if i did not want the new rom then i could revert back to this backed up rom. So does it mean that if i install PA rom then restore the backup from twrp, will it overwrite the PA rom and go back to my original rom that i have backed up or will it only restore the apps and settings, etc.?
Also about this twrp backup, will it also backup and return to old state when restored certain apps like notepad and the notes i have saved in this app. The same goes to the vault app and all the files i have hidden in this app, will it back it up as well and will be restored?
Thanks for your patience..

Correct. It will revert the entire ROM back to what it was.
Basically how your device is when you backup. Is how it will be when you restore.
All app preferences and settings. All apps. Widgets everything.
The only thing it doesn't alter is what's on your internal storage
And a point to note.
If you make changes to contacts or have received texts after the backup. It will revert them if you restore back to what they were when you backed up.
It is just like turning back the clock on your phone. Putting everything back to the point you backed up except files you have put on to the internal storage

I think you are saying that you will want to restore data on PA. You can backup/restore data with titanium backup or carbon.

Whoops yes didn't read fully. You get no choice with a twrp backup. It's just the full lot that gets restored. If you want specific apps to be restored onto a new ROM you need to make backups of them using something like titanium backup on your current ROM. Then restore them on your new ROM.
You can use app like SMS backup and restore for taking your SMS history into a new rom

Thanks guys for the replies. Yes, what i exactly wanted was to install PA but be able to restore all data, apps nd settings back to what it was except that now it would be running under PA rom. If this is the case then titanium back up is what i am looking for? With titanium, is there a specific setting or option that i shld select or just press backup button? Sorry, its my first time to use titanium. Also, does the backup of the titanium also covers my notes on my "note everything" app as well as the files that i hid in my "vault" backup? Or should i make a separate backup using the apps on backup feature? And in the case of the "vault" app, should i unhide them first, backup with titanium then after restore just hide them again?
Im really appreciating the help..

I'm not really sure how either of those apps work, but I'm guessing your notes will be fine. You might have to do some experimenting with the vault app. You should do a TWRP backup in addition to Titanium. In Titanium Backup, you just press the batch button in top right corner and "backup all user apps/data" or whatever it says.
As far as system settings go, they should be restored if you choose that option after logging into your Google account (only during initial setup).

Side note: In order for batch processing to work within Titanium, you must purchase the Pro key. Otherwise, you will have to backup and restore each app individually.

Well, have to say, thanks matt. The included RSD helped.
I forgot I was also restoring stock over CM10, which may have also been the issue, but I am back into the phone now.
You shouldn't have issues restoring backup from the older version, and you shouldn't have issues restoring a stock build over CM. Did you use the restore option or did you try to install the backup?

I have no idea what caused the issue. I did a backup of CM10, wiped data, cache, dalvik, and system. Hit restore on my old Stock backup (created in TWRP, not safestrap), wiped dalvik and cache again, and rebooted (and allowed TWRP to fix root first). It booted to the droid eye, but then just hung there for about 10 minutes.
I used Matt's utility to restore the system and it failed (tried to install the same part of system over and over again, 3mb in 4 seconds, 100k in .4 seconds, over and over again). So I had to force stop that and use RSD which worked fine.
No idea what all that was about.
So I think I found the culprit. My backups from the older version of TWRP don't have BOOT, only SYSTEM and DATA. So I was probably having my stock rom install while the CM10 BOOT was still in place.
The more you know
I was on Google edition using faux kernal. I decided to restore my stock rooted nandroid using twrp and I believe something went wrong. My phone rebooted on its own after the restore and everything went wrong from there. Force closes galore. I checked the kernal and it was still faux kernal so I figured that was the problem. I decided to wipe and restore one more time. This time it went smooth and I had the option to reboot when it was complete. Everything is running perfect but the weird thing is that the kernal appears to be stock now...
I'm very confused. Some Google searches led me to believe that a nandroid does not save your kernal but my kernal clearly changed on my second restore.
Does a nandroid restore kernal? What is the stock kernal for the i337 and is it around this site because I can't find it anywhere?
My kernal version reads...

Yep, that's the stock kernel.
I'm not sure about TWRP. I know there are different options to save different partitions when creating a Nandroid with TWRP.
But there is something else I've been noticing through various posts about the S4. It seems that sometimes, with CWM, TWRP, or even ODIN, that some people have to flash files twice before they take. I'm not sure why it would be that way or if it's just a bunch of people screwing up on the first flash, but it sure seems that way. Maybe this is just one of those phones that depending on which lot you get, needs to be flashed twice?
yeah, Scott may be right. I don't think these recoveries are quite up to speed yet for the S4. Esp TWRP. I just like and have been use to TWRP UI.
Heard good things about Phil's Touch CWM--haven't tried yet. But, haven't restored yet either. Shabby's seems solid too. But, Phil's will restore both TWRP and CWM nandroids.
If you nandroided boot partition then the kernel should be restored
Only thing not touched in nandroids is radio
simply restoring the boot image from a nandroid will restore the kernel to what was backed up. I ALWAYS have a nandroid of a full factory ROM on my SD card in case I get problems. technically you don't even need to clear cache / dalvik cache.
note that some kernels actually flash more than the kernel and update Bluetooth and/or WiFi drivers, and would require more than the boot image to be restored.
keeping a fully stock ROM nandroid should be flashing 101... I've gotten into situations where I've had md5 mid matches when restoring backups, lost imei, all kinds of fun stuff. almost always doing a full factory reset/cache wipe/dalvik wipe/system format before restoring stock will fix those type of problems. after that I've had good luck then restoring the "problem" backup. very rarely have I ever had to Odin back to stock.
I installed a custom rom(GPE 5.0)on my i337m from Android 4.4.2 Stock ROM. I made a Nandroid backup with twrp 2830 before flashing the new rom. After playing with it a while I decided to go back to 4.4.2 using the Nandroid backup.
The Nandroid restore was successful(did a factory wipe before restore). However now I am getting force close non stop(seems like every app after the boot animation). I did a second restore without factory wipe and same problem. How can I get my backup restored properly?
If I install a custom rom(tried Goldfinger v9 among others), they boot fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I tried again, this time I did advanced wipe and selected the usual system, cache, dalvik etc...and also format internal sd. When I restored the nandroid backup it finally worked properly. Pretty sure the backup is not corrupted.
I was on CM12 nightly, and it was working fine. I decided to flash the latest update, but before I did I performed a nandroid backup. Right after rebooting after flashing, I kept getting errors about Timely has stopped working, or Google Play Services has stopped working. In short, the phone was unusable.
So I restored my nandroid backup, and the first thing I got was that Nova Launcher has stopped working. I couldn't get it to launch into my home screen. I went with Trebuchet, and opened WhatsApp, and it says that the messages have been corrupted.
What is happening?
It's urgent because I'm flying off soon.

I think it's related to this: when restoring the nandroid backup, it never gets to completion. Instead, somewhere around 2/3 through, it shuts off and reboots into recovery. So the restore isn't complete.
I'm thinking of switching my custom recovery to TWRP. I'm currently on CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7 Compiled by Xiaolu. Do I just download the new recovery in .zip and flash it as per normal?
It might just show it's 2/3 but in fact finish it anyways however I am not sure about this ;/ try to wipe everything (dalvik, cache, data) and then restore your backup. If that doesn't help do the wipes again and this time wipe system partition as well.

I think the backup is faulty. I tried using PhilZ recovery to restore, and the /data and /system restores were incomplete (I know because it says Done: 600/700MB). Now it's unbootable. I'm gonna try using Chenglu to restore, then get it partially working, then use TiBa to backup all my apps before clean-flashing the latest ROM.
Let me know what the outcome is

Ended up reflashing Chenglu's recovery to restore the nandroid backup, went in to backup everything with Titanium Backup, then flashed the latest ROM (wiped everything) and set up everything from scratch
Have moved on to Philz recovery now.
