Restoring Backup

Hi, I am currently using the latest CM version, however I have decided to restore my froyo backup, is it as simple as, going on ROM manager and restoring or will i.e. the CM kernel, and other CM parts still exist when I have restored, Thanks

you need to do a full wipe/factory reset before restoring the backup and no cm "parts" will be left

[Q] Broken Nandroid Backup

Hello All,
I had a TPT with rooted ThinkPadTablet_A400_03_007_132_WE.
Yesterday I installed CWM from here and made a backup of the ICS using the standard dup format.
Then went on to install CM10.
All worked fine and CM10 seems great.
However, I forgot to do a TitaniumBackup of the apps in ICS.
So I went back to CWM to restore the backup ICS.
Here comes the problem.
At restoration, CWM breaks saying it cannot restore system data.
I then cleared cache/data/dalvik and tried again to restore ICS. No luck.
So I´m stuck with CM10 now. Does anyone have an idea how I could recover my ICS installation.
If not, I want to recover it to backup the app I bought through the Lenovo store, which I can no longer reinstall in CM10. Any ideas how I could achieve that?
Thanks a lot,
Bruno

[Q] Manually restore files from MIUI backup?

Hi guys,
strange question: I was on an old MIUI GB ROM and decided to upgrade to the official MIUI JB ROM. Saved everything using MIUI backup. I then installed the ROM (NativeSD) and everything went wrong. When I finally got it working ok, it was way laaaaaaaaaagy, so I decided to try tytung's CM10 JB ROM.
Stupid me - didn't take a Titanium or image backup in recovery. I do however have the MIUI backup file. Anyone know of a way that I can either automatically or manually use the data in the MIUI backup to restore at least my game saves, SMS's etc in CM?
Any help appreciated!

[Q] TWRP Restore didn't restore apps - can I get them back? [solved]

What it says on the tin. I backed up using ROM Manager to launch the backup. I was upgrading to the CM11m6 from CM10.2 but that led to a failed boot followed by boot into recovery so I decided to restore. Restoring has left just CM`s built-in apps, a few gapps and one paid app. I thought nandroid backups were like imaging a computer and you got everything back? I stupidly didn't make backups with TitaniumBackup thinking it was unnecessary.
So, any ways for me to get all my apps back?

Update for googlers: I used Nandroid Manager to restore the missing apps from the backup. Hope that helps someone else with this situation!
I discovered a new issue while I continued to use CM 10.2.1--some apps updated and then it went into a bootloop again. Luckily I had am so I restored it and restored the missing apps again. I suspect it's either Gmail, Google Text-to-Speech, Google+ or Android Terminal Emulator. Google didn't reveal anybody else having this problem yet with the latest updates, so I must have some very unique issue.
As for updating to CM11, I'm gonna try creating another image (which'll hopefully restore all apps!) after it gets stable and trying updating to CM M5 instead of M6 which seems to have caused a bootloop for at least one person, too. I can't post outside links yet, so that person's report can be found by googling this phrase including quotation marks: "Update From 10.2.1 Stable To 11 M6 Causes Boot Loop".

Another update for googlers: The problem of apps-not-restoring seems to have been caused by version 2.6.0.0 of TWRP. I tried updating to 2.6.3.1 using both GooManager and TWRP Manager but it didn't stick. Used Nexus Root Toolkit to upgrade TWRP to 2.7.0.0, though. Restoring the image with that restored all the apps as far as I can figure out. Yay! Now I don't have to wait 3-4 hours for the app restore process to finish on top of the nandroid restore.

[Q] Every App Stop Working After NANDroid

On my G900P, I made a CWM NANDroid backup of 4.4.4 stock rooted ROM. Then I did a full wipe and installed Cyanogenmod 5.0 ROM. Then to revert back I wiped everything (including dalvik cache) and tried to recover the NANDroid backup, which seems to complete without errors, but every user application will force close when launched. Also, SMS or Calls cannot connect.
So is the NANDroid backup corrupt? Did it not flash properly when I recovered it? (tried multiple times)

My suggestion would be to flash the stock rom which is the same version as your NANDroid, 4.4.4, first. Then restore your NANDroid backup.
You shouldn't have to, but it might work.

That doesn't seem to work. The apps still force close / stop working over and over. Here's a lengthy logcat. Anyone have any ideas?
