Hello, I did a backup of all my apps+data and now I'm trying to restore it but it gets stuck at the "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox". Does anyone have a guess of what's going on?
Ps: I'm still trying to run it but it's like more than 10 minutes that way
Edit: the toolkit said the process was completed, but not all my apps are there.

restore your nandroid backup the right way, not through a root toolbox. restore it in/with your custom recovery.
you dont backup usual apps in system partition as it will hang or reboot, just backup user data, and use CWM

Hi,
I had a problem with my NDT miui nand buil recently, it was sticking on boot animation, so I made a backup via cwm, I saved the backup folder on my pc. Now I want to restore that backup. I tried all the usual methods for it, I did tas29, flashed new clk, and tried backup, still stuck on boot animation, I flashed my last rom and then tried to restore the backup, again stuck on boot animation. I did everything for it, but doesn't works for me. It does the restore process as usual, but I wan't to boot, my phone stuck in boot animation. So I beg you to help me with one of these alternatives, please.
-I only want to restore my contacts, call logs and sms. Anyway to restore them only? there are some .img files in backup folder, which one are these files stored?
-Is there anyway I can extract backups files on my pc and get my contacts,sms,... in it?
-If none of above works, is there anyway to install cwm on pc android emulator, and then restore my backup in it, and again get my contacts,sms there?
I will really be thankful of your helps

Are you using the correct partition size? Too small a partition normally causes the phone to hang at the bootanimation. If you have used the correct partition size and it still doesn't boot, try simply increasing it to account for any bad blocks you may have.
It's also possible that your backup is corrupted somehow, it happened to me once. If this is the case, try flashing the same ROM and then restoring the data partition in CWM.
When you rename backup file do not use spaces (exp. icsromv3)

I don't think that's the problem because if the ROM gets up to the bootanimation (after a Task29) then it's clearly been [somewhat] flashed correctly so it's probably down to the backup itself, or of course an error somewhere on his part.

Come on guys, this is common sense. If he made the backup with the rom ALREADY not booting up, no matter what he does, it'll always stick to the boot animation.
The back-up saves your ROM at its current state, not the one it was working at before. Backups should only be done when your ROM is actually fully functioning, not when it is broken. So unfortunately, you have to do what Nigel Suggested. Make a clean install of that ROM and then only restore the data partition.
You may be able to do the emulator thingy, but I'm not sure, you can give it a shot though.
For extracting something from your backup see appextractor or nandroid browser

Whoops, I should have read the OP more carefully
@OP Yeah, just fresh install then restore the data partition. I still don't understand why the other ROM isn't working though unless it's your fault somwhere
Quick background:
I was running stock Android 4.2.1 with a custom kernel & recovery (TWRP) and decided to install CM's latest rom. I forgot to make a backup before installing the new rom and, because I didn't want to lose all of my app data, I did not do a factory reset after installing the CM rom. This caused me to end up in a broken state with Android being stuck at the boot animation. To prevent myself from breaking anything else, I made a backup of this broken state using TWRP. I then proceeded to factory reset which got Android working again.
Question:
I have some app data (read: game saves) in the broken TWRP backup that I would like to recover. Is there a way to pull app data from the TWRP backup that I can use to restore the app using Titanium, TWRP, or something else?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply! I just tried doing that and the backup is detected, but no apps/app data show up. The list is blank.
Is there anything else I should try or is my data just gone?

Was the backup compressed?
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.

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 just got a s5. And I got it succesfully rooted and also got TWRP working on it.
All the data from my previous phone was transfered to the s5.
Now I made some backups with TWRP with the default settings: Partitions boot, system and data.
With the backups in mind I was thinking I could easily restore it to a previous state.
Thinking I backed up all the data and wanted to make it fresh again, I wanted to restore it.
In the menu I chose the restore option with the same settings as the backup: Partitions boot, system and data.
And it gives a message restoring system succesfull.
But when rebooting, it keeps hanging and at the moment of loading the android system every bit of the system keeps 'hanging'
It keeps saying
'Unfortunately touchwiz startup unsuccesfully'
'Unfortunately youtube startup unsuccesfully'
'Unfortunately greenify startup unsuccesfully'
'Unfortunately app whatever startup unsuccesfully'
And so on and so on
Eventually it starts with a black screen with nothing loaded. Complete blackout.
So this backup doesn't work. And I try my second backup.
Unfortunately also the second backup gave these errors.
And also the third backup!
So the backup files seem the right size, it's some gigabytes, and it alway's keeps saying backup/restore succesfully.
But now it fails to restore and boot the backup
The things I tried.
-Trying three different backups
-Wiping cleaning data/dalvik/cache etc etc
-Restoring a part of the backup. First system, then data, then boot, no succes.
So i'm totally lost! Does somebody know how to fix this? Or have some tips to try??
You can't restore system and boot from a different model phone
That would be like trying to flash a ROM for one model phone to another without porting it
If it was an S5 you backed up, was it the exact same model (ie: G900F etc?)
Flash back to stock, then try restoring only DATA
Or use TiBu to restore your apps from the TWRP backup

Thanks for the reply! It was a backup and restore on the same phone. So that is why I thought it was supposed to be a easy restore.
But I found the solution hidden somewhere in one message on XDA:
"Originally Posted by Dr. Fed
Would you happen to know why, when restoring a TW 4.4.2 nandroid using TWRP 2.8.1 or 2.8.4, after running an AOSP lollipop ROM like CM12, the TW ROM boots but then the whole system force-closes? Before restoring the nandroid, I advance wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik. Then I restore the nandroid. It boots, but then some daemon crashes. Then all processes and apps. The screen goes black after a few crashes.
So, what I do is pull out the battery, boot into recovery, advance wipe system, data, cache, dalvik, flash a CM11 ROM, reboot. I let CM11 start up, skip the set-up, then I boot back to TWRP (2.8.1 and now 2.8.4), advanced wipe, restore TW nandroid, and now it works just fine.
It seems like TWRP doesn't fully wipe."
Here the steps for if other people will run into the same problem:
Problem: Android 5 is running, with twrp 2.7 performed a back up = Restoring the backup is difficult because it problably doesn't do a clean wipe somehow.
1. I downloaded a cyanogen 11 rom, a Android 4 version.
2. Installed it with TWRP. Somehow it 'wipes' it more efficiently.
3. From cyanogen 11 back to booting TWRP.
4. In TWRP trying the Android 5 restore.
And Amazingly this worked!! = Celebrate!!
