Hello
I have a S2 backup rom (created by CWM) with some important info on it.
I have since sold the Galaxy S2 phone and moved onto a Galaxy Note GT-N7000
I have used 'nandroid browser' for example to search for the raw files within the rom - but couldn't find them due to the search method being too difficult.
So I thought is it possible to load up the S2 rom on the Galaxy Note and take what I need from it ?
How do I go about doing it ?
I have rooted the Note and have CWM installed ready to go.
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks for reading and any tips.
I really really would not recommend it, Although they are similar, there could be disastrous consequences..... Is it really worth it for a few apps ?
Why didnt you just make a Titanium backup before switching phones?
You can browse the nandroid files on your PC, use winrar or 7zip, Find the info you want, extract it and copy it over to the Note.
You can manually restore data from old cwm backup. Extract it with winrar and copy what you need.
I had lost my contacts so I extracted backup and copied related files.
But do not restore the back up from recovery.
I'm not bothered about the apps, its text messages and pictures!
As for masking a backup before switching phones, that's why I used CWM !
One backup app is the same as any other.
As for using nandroid and winrar, already done that - as already said no good.
It's easier to install S2 rom, boot up, connect to kies and export text messages to desktop then sync on the note later.
As for retriveng pictures, again go into usb mode, search internal sd card and extract - job done!
As for installing rom, too late already done it!
you installed s2 rom on note succesfully?

It seemed to load ok using cwm - choosing the 'restore a backup' option.
When the phone rebooted, the Note N7000 boot screen appeared with the yellow triangle.
A few distorted video lines appeared, blank screen but could hear the start up theme, but no picture and no access to the operating system.
Worth a try though!
I may just buy another used S2 just to get what I want from the image and sell on again.
yeah its very dangerous not even worth a try, but thats my opinion. people have destroyed phones by flashin recovrring stuff not meant for their phone lol

nandroids are not transferable, So if you have s SGS2 you will not be able to restore that nandroid on a SGS3 / Galaxy Note ect ect. Thats why you should have Titanium backups, You can restore a TB backup across a million devices.
you should use titanium backup to explore your nandroid backup of s2 for apps.. and if you want the data of s2 then do a advanced restore of data onto your note may be that will work

You can try AppExtractor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...iwiY29tLmhhbmR5YW5keS5hcHBleHRyYWN0b3JrZXkiXQ..
It should be able to restore your text messages from the nandroid backup.
i lol'd, it's like you have been waving $500 in bills above a fire...
As i read you want to retrieve your personal data, maybe ask a friend with an S2 to borrow it for a day, root his S2 and make a backup from his setup with CWM and then restore yours on it. After your done flash back his backup and your done

Wrong. It is not. Nandroid is VERY device-specific.

Also, some useful data is part of system apps that don't reliably restore, so should be backed up in a more portable format.
Nandroids - Snapshot of currently running system state
TiBu - Backup of installed apps and data used by those apps. Usually not good for system apps
Call Logs Backup and Restore - Backs up call logs to a portable (and human-readable) XML-based format
SMS Backup and Restore - Same as the previous app, but with an obvious difference.
I m shifting from s4 to note 3
I have a complete backup of tittanium sys data and user apps
Should I just restore that on my note3 ?
Cant there be any coflict with sys apps backup of s4 and note 3 ?

I restored all my user apps+data from my Galaxy S3 to my Note 3 without any problems.
DO NOT try to restore S4 system files. BUT.. you need to read this link BEFORE you restore:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463116
for stuff that are part of the System (ROM) you can restore only the data.
most of them are safe if you are coming from the same version of android
too bad Ive already reinstalled the apps and deleted my titanium backup files.
I am in the market to buy a new Note 3 and I was looking to see if I can backup my S3 on VZW and then transfer everything to the Note 3. I usually use TB or Go Backup/Restore Pro to backup my apps and data when I clean flash a new Rom and didn't know if I could do the same with crossing platforms with the Note 3. Thanks in advance

I have the same question... I tried backing up my Note 2 using TB and restoring with snapshot image. Didn't really work as planned. Trying the XML restore now to see if that's better.
Anybody know more about this?
I came from the S3 and was able to restore my TiBu backup. I restores all data apps along with data, my call log and SMS log. Don't restore any other system app as they can cause issues.
Yeah I am only looking to swap over my apps and data. Nothing system wise.
Download your apps on the Note and transfer the data from the gs3.
I do it all the time. I have a copy of a game on my tablet and save the progress (data only) in my droobox with titanium. I download the data on my phone, and titanium updates my game where I left off.
Hope that makes sense.

I ended up just restoring missing apps and ALL Data (assuming that means app and system). Seems to work fine now. I'm guessing the system data includes wi-fi, screen layout, ring tones, etc....
Worked for me anyway. When I tried to restore ALL APPs and ALL DATA the whole thing went haywire and I had to do a reset/wipe and start over with TB.
I am upgrading from my Note 3 to the Note 4, they are running different versions of Android as shown in my signature. Will I be able to use Titanium Backup to restore the apps on my Note 4 (running Marsh-mallow) that have been backup from my Note 3 (running Kitkat)?
I have just bought a Redmi Note 7 phone and I would like to start using it right away. I have been using a rooted android phone for a while and I would like transfer all my app data to my new Redmi Note 7. In the past, I would use Titanium Backup Pro, and transfer all my apps+data to my new phone without any issues, provided my new phone was also rooted. But currently, I am exploring the possibility of migrating to the new phone without root access. Is it possible? Or should I just go ahead with the unlock process, wait for 2 weeks, and then transfer my app data after having rooted the device?
Please answer
Very good question but there is no answer why? I need also to know about this possibility... I know migrate app is good between two custom rom for tranfer all your data.
But in this case we need to transfer all data to a new bought smartphone. Without root
