Hi guys,
Today I updated my Note 3 from Omega V6 to V11, I got it wrong a couple times so had to full wipe twice or so and restart the process.
Beforehand I had done a titanium backup, cwm backup. I copied them onto my lappy, with the efs backup also.
Once I had Omega v11 installed I booted into cwm and tried to restore from my backup, this sent me into a bootloop so I started the process again. This time I tried restoring from titanium backup and it did a great job, but my picture gallery is missing alot of photos and photos I had in hide it pro are gone.
I tried restoring hide it pro and gallery in titanium backup as a single restore task/job and still didn't do the trick.
I'm guessing the reason why I go into a bootloop when I tried to restore from cwm is because my backup was from 4.3 and now I'm on 4.4.2?
Is that right?
The day before I actually went from v5 to v6 so maybe that's why my hide pro files are gone? because omega installed it again?
After I had installed v6 I deleted my v5 backup files and made new ones.
Unfortunately I didn't check my files after installing v6 and I deleted my old backups without thinking, so I'm not sure if they were there after a v6 install.
I know I should have done a manual backup, lesson learnt, I had alot of sentimental photos I was meant to share but hadn't gotten around to it yet..
Is there anyway I can get my files back? Or anyway I can restore from my cwm backup?
Thank you.
Go into titanium backup but mind that you will need the pro edition as long as i can remember,press menu key and see under special backup and restore
Extract from Nandroid Backup .
CLICK that and choose the backup you did using cwm and find your desire app
I hope this works for you . I hate it when VAULT or such apps loose your pics when you upgrade the app itself

Unfortunately that didn't work, I'm assuming the pictures were deleted from when I went from v5 to v6. Going to try and recover my deleted backups from my MacBook. Thank you again for you help, will report back if successful!

not sure if this is the same problem that you have but it looks like my phone internal wipes each time I upgrade the Omega ROM where it takes out the internal.
Maybe teaching the 'sucking eggs' thing here but it isn't just a case of the apps are looking at internal memory instead of over on your extSDcard is it? Titanium and many other apps need to be told to save/restore to/from the extSDcard.- maybe it's all sitting there waiting for you to point the apps to the right place?

Thank you for reply, I just checked and there was no titanium backup on my extSDcard, it was on the internal and that's where I copied it from to my mac Thanks anyway!
One more thing guys, I was just browsing through es file explorer and noticed my downloads folder is gone. Does titanium or cwm backup, backup folders? I just tried restoring "Downloads" in titanium backup and extracting from nandroid, and still no Downloads folder in my directory Just wondering maybe if the files are named something else?
Otherwise it was erased when I went from v5 to v6 and backed up the newly erased and clean v6 files, not realising my files are gone.
Thanks

Not exactly. This is an alternative to another backup tool, nandroid, which is an image backup of your entire Android installation (not just apps and data like Tiranium). If you restore a nandroid everything is exactly the way you had it at the time you backed it up: settings, preferences, apps, data, etc.
this is like using clockworkmod but with out rebooting
So it backs up everything boot/ sys/ data/ cache/ like clockworkmod but no rebooting needed for lazy people like me lol

this sounds perfect..
concerning our device, is the default backup stored on "sd card" folder?
they use the term external sd card.. makes me think and actual external storage location..
is it pretty much idiot proof.. no way to fubar?
thanx again.

I would actually recommend starting with a normal nandroid backup from your already-installed recovery, instead of using this alternative, first. That way you can get used to the normal way of doing things before changing it up with this. Both TWRP and CWM have the backup ability; just look for "backup" somewhere. The backup is saved on the mounted sdcard, inside /sdcard/clockworkmod. For the recovery method, unless you go in and delete your backups, it's pretty much idiot-proof. Just find the backup option in recovery, perhaps change a couple options like the file name, and hit backup.

OP's alternative allows you do do that very same backup without rebooting into recovery, so you can keep using the Touchpad while it does a backup.

Please help me out here. With Titanium Backup everything backs up except my Wifi Access Points XML. If fails every time through running from batch.
Also tried from the menu 'Special Backup' > 'Backup data to XML' and TiBa crashes.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm rooted with superSU v1.3, Stock recovery, kernel and rom, TiBa pro and up to date. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't worry too much, TiBu should back it up in binary as well... at least mine does. During a restore it gives you the option to use the XML or Binary backup.

Thanks. Is there anyway to confirm a binary backup? Do you possibly know the filename so I can look for it in my backup folder? I have alot of WiFi access points stored so i'd like to not have to ask everyone around town for the passwords again if I can avoid it.

Look inside TiBu under the Backup/Restore tab, and scrool down to Wifi Access Points. Your should have one that says XML to the right and one above it that says 101 (or binary)

Well I feel considerably noobish for not noticing that, though I was sorting the list by backup date so it wasn't right above. Thanks for pointing that out.
One more question if you know, will the binary backup restore on custom ROM's and even newer phones in the future? Or is the XML a safer route for such things, in which case I would need to figure out why it's broken. Thanks again.

I've been having the same problem for a while now. I think it could very well be related to our phone's build.prop because just today, I did a full backup and it finally backed up my wifi access points. It even restored it with no problems..
Note: I made the backup on the 4.2.2 Odexed GE ROM and restored it on the 4.2.2 Deodexed Kangabean ROM.

Add me to the list of people getting an Error message when trying to back up the XML version of the Wi-Fi Access Points file. I never like getting error messages, so I hope there is a fix. Would be nice if there were an easy way to tell TiBu to ignore this file.
I am on CleanRom 1.65.

TiBa is at least backup up WiFi in a binary backup, which is fine as long as you stay on the same device. It may not restore on a different device though, hence why I want the XML to work!
I have the same problem. Currently no solution.

Same XML issue here - surprised TiBu has not fixed it yet...
Anyways, I have been simply backing up the data file itself.
from root: data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf is the file you want. Back that up to your computer or MicroSD and then use it to restore your wifi whenever necessary. Just overwrite the file. Can't remember if reboot is necessary afterwards but I don't think so.

Nice very clever. I tried restoring it just for kicks and it worked. I just dropped it in the folder, overwrote it, fixed permissions, then rebooted. Worked great. Nice.
On the other hand, I do hope that the Titanium team does fix this soon. It must have something to do with this device because it worked fine until I switched to the S4 from the S3 and when I moved my backup folder over to my new device it wouldn't restore.

Hi, What apps do you guys use to backup up your SMS, Contacts, Apps etc before you wipe everything and install a new rom.
Im looking for one that has a restore feature that can easily be used without there being any problems where I'm left with all my data lost

I would advise you to make at least an EFS backup. You can use the backup function in TWRP for that.
Otherwise, Titanium backup has no real competitor, and is not complicated at all. Try it. You'll thank me later.

You may want to pull your TiBu folder off to a PC just in case. Use a file manager to zip the entire TiBu folder and then move that one zip file to your PC just in case. That way when the fit hits the shan you can always restore apps later.

I unfortunately didn't have a backup at the time but do have one from a couple of weeks ago. I'm probably going to switch from Chads pa builds to dirty unicorns. If you don't mind, what rom do you use? Thanks for the help, I'm definitely going to get this sorted tomorrow.?
They may not be super recent, but you can batch restore all your apps whenever you load the new ROM. I was just suggesting you safeguard your TiBu backup folder. You may also know you can schedule a backup to run on a schedule so you don't even have to think about it. I use a one week interval at 2:00am. I run stock 7.1.2 ROM, rooted with EX Kernel on my phone and LOS rooted and EX Kernel on my Nexus tablet.
Hey! I was asking if you guys know a good way to fully backup a phone (like cloning it).
I would try some ROM like PA and some other but I also want to be able to good back to the state I'm right now (fully configured, with all apps I need, and when restoring this backup I would like to have exact same app data, configuration, account, everything in fact).
I don't even know if it's possible x)
In all case, thanks for your answer

You shouldn't need to install ADB tools though, they come included on the additional partition OnePlus adds with drivers, just copy those files over to your PC

Thanks for it mate. I'll do this tonight and cross my finger hoping it would work as I think
TWRP. If you are installing ROMs TWRP would already be there and all you would have to do is create a backup.

App data IS backed up by TWRP but anything you see in internal storage is NOT backed up by TWRP.
The way I do it is:
Titanium Backup for all user apps
An app called pairs for Bluetooth and WiFi backup and restore
Create a Nova backup for my home screen setup
Transfer any media (such as photos and music) to my PC
And then I go about flashing a new ROM/clean flashing my current ROM.
I do end up having to go through my ROM settings over again, as well as setting up system apps again, but it's not a huge deal to me.
This feels like the "cleanest" way to backup and restore, so it's a small price to pay! (For me at least lol)
Can you confirm that even chrome app data is being saved and restored? Eg: cookies
Thanks!
