Here is what happened.... I had stock 4.2.2 on my rooted nexus 4. This is when i made the twrp backup of my system and data and recovery I flashed cyanogen Mod. I flashed back to stock. Then while still rooted i upgraded to 4.3 from the device... then i rerooted. When i rerooted i flashed the newest version of twrp recovery 2.6. and i cant restore from my backup for some reason.... I tried to flash old versions of twrp and restore with no luck ... please help because i need the files for titanium backup to work. How do i get the data from that backup?

I am trying it now but it just keeps decompressing over and over and when i check to see if there is any user apps or data it says none but i know the backup has it
so i made a backup of my 4.4.4 in CWM and then i upgraded to 5.0.1 and made a backup of it too in CWM but when i Restored my 4.4.4 i got stuck in a boot loop i tried removing all cache and dalvik cache but it ain't working do i have to do a full reset or does it even work to down grade via backups like this?

no, it will not, cuz all that is suppose to be in the backup you made before, just clean the system before restoring, wipe data, system, cache and dalvik, then try restoring your backup and wait at least 10 minutes, and report back, good luck cheers:fingers-crossed:
didnt work =/

bro if there's nothing else then you will have to flash a stock rom thru Odin, and it will wipe your phone completely, but at least you will be able to boot your phone again, report back, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:
can't i flash it the stockrom trough odin and then just restore the data ?
it works when i restore my 5.0.1 backup but not my 4.4.4 =<

You upgrade your device to 5.0, so kitkat4.4 cwm backup didn't work 4 u bcuz ur baseband version changed with lollipop upgrade & cwm recovery is unable to backup baseband/modem.
U have to downgrade ur firmware to kitkat4.4 & then cwm backup will work.
how do i do that is it enough to just re-flash via odin will it reset to the correct modem and stuff?

Yes,after flashing correct stock firmware ( full Odin package like xxx.tar.md5) with Odin ur device become brand new: official.
U have to root it again & again install cwm recovery.
For flashing stock firmware Tutorial,search on Google.

do you know if there is a backup app that backs up all like baseband and such so i can downgrade with simple backups?
Hi, in order to restore your Android kitkat backup you need to downgrade from lollipop. In order to do that you have to flash a stock ROM (from sammobile). If your device is not locked for your service provider then it shouldn't really matter which region's ROM you flash. Then flash cwm recovery to restore your backup. If after flashing the stock ROM you enter a boot loop (and maybe not allowing you to enter download mode to flash cwm) try entering recovery mode (Power + Home + Volume Up) and factory reset your phone through the stock recovery. This should restart your phone without causing a loop. After that just flash cwm back and restore your stock backup.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.

1)TWRP Backup includes EVERYTHING. It creates an exact image of your phone. All apps, their data, sms, call logs, just everything, lol.
2)only Zip

Nope the TWRP backup the system and rom also almost everything if you installed another rom and used the backup it will go back to the rom you had I think but if you can check backup data and apps only that will backup your apps and data only

I know that many of you has faced problems with restoring stock touchwiz 4.4.2 rom.
But, after reading in these forums i've found the right way to restore your backup
I used twrp and i didn't tested it on cwm recovery.
So follow me.
First, boot in recovery and restore everything you have backed up except DATA and Boot
Then, boot your device and set it up and reboot in recovery again and restore your DATA and Boot
Voilà that should work i tested it with my s3 neo it really works.
Help me by pressing thanks.

Thank you, you saved me hours of time!
If you dont have backup you must use ODIN and download the firmware from sammobile. It's not worth because original firm is slow and has heating problems.
Hello.
I am sorry for dumb question.
But i dont understand very well
I am on sac23 rom s8 port
My question is that when if I wanted to flash a mod Like air command etc.
Will i have to download it of s8 or s7 edge
I mean like i had selected my device as s7edge in xda app
Should i stay on that or because of the port i should change it to s8 for mods ?
Sorry if i didnt explained well.
Thanks in advance

Stick to S7
Also do not forget to make a backup in TWRP might save you a lot of hassle if one flash goes wrong
:good:

it is not reccomended to do this (its called a dirty flash) you can choose to do this anyway when installing a custom ROM most of them come with an option in the AROMA installer letting you do a fresh wipe or "dirty flash" it will just install the ROM over your current leaving your settings/apps there. Or if there is no AROMA installer with the rom just dont do a wipe before you install. no need to restore using a backup
dirty flash should be fine if you are upgrading ROMS to a later version but you should always check the thread if that is okay. you may run into problems if its a huge update.

heres some info on EFS > http://www.naldotech.com/galaxy-s7-s7-edge-backup-restore-efs-imei-partition/
recovery is TWRP itself
system is the ROM
Data is your apps etc..
a standard backup is already seleted in TWRP which is
Boot / System / Data
you may as well backup EFS as well its only a few Kb
