Restore fails: apps are there but no app data

I made a nandroid backup using TWRP 2.7.0.0 of a CM11 M6 install. When I try to restore it, all the apps show up but there's no data for any of them. They all act as if it's the first time I've run them. Also, all my "Accounts" have disappeared so when it first boots, I've to log into Google & Cyanogenmod again. But system settings and wifi are all there.
What I've tried:
- Tried to update to TWRP 2.7.1.0 and restore again, but no joy.
- I tried to restore the backup I made before I updated to CM11 of a CM10.2 (I think) install and that fails with no error message while restoring /data.
- Restoring app data using Titanium Backup from a nandroid backup. It crashes halfway through, though.
What I'm going to try:
- Restoring again, wiping cache/dalvik, installing same rom + gapps over the restore.
- Restoring app data from the nandroid backup using Nandroid Manager.
- Restoring apps + data from my Titanium Backup backup from about a week ago. It's not up to date so I was hoping to avoid using it.
Any other ideas? What could be causing it?

It looks like this did the trick: - Restoring again, wiping cache/dalvik, installing same rom + gapps over the restore.
I got the advice from this xda thread:

Now I've to wait and see whether it's stable. Doing a TB backup now. I'll make an ADB one after this one, as well as another nandroid one, though I've had nothing but trouble with the last four-five nandroid backup/restores I've done.

[Q] Problems restoring a backup of the stock rom

I recently made a backup of my stock rom using TWRP, I then flashed cyanogenmod 12.1 and due some random reboots I wanted to restore my stock rom.. I went into TWRP, did a wipe on everything but the external sd card then restored the backup of the samsung rom boot, data, system. When it booted it said it was upgrading all the android apps then starting apps then all the apps it tried to start crashed and was left with a blank screen. Is there something you have to do, to be able to restore a stock rom after flashing cyanogen?

No, that should have worked, but I have seen that crash black screen after clearing caches in TWRP, I pulled the battery, booted again and it was fine

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wierd, yeah I tried a couple of reboots and it always crashes once it starts apps after a restore.

Try flashing a stock ROM with ODIN to get the phone back to 100% stock
Then root and flash TWRP again and see if you can restore the backup then, if not, try restoring the backup without restoring DATA which is where the apps are
If that works, you could use Titanium Backup to restore the DATA partition iirc, see if you can get around it that way

Can't restore stock rom backup from TWRP (SM-G900F)

Hello,
before I played around with getting root and flashing custom roms, I backup everything in Samsung Smart Switch.
After getting root and install TWRP, I backup the whole system (except the recovery partition) to the external sd-card from TWRP.
Now - after getting some experience with custom roms - I will go back to the stock rom from my TWRP-Backup. Set everything to factory default, wipe cache and dalvik and press restore. Select my backup... swipe to flash... everything seems ok. After reboot - no bootloop - a thousands of alert-messages pops up "blabla-app stopped"... Then appears only a black screen.
How can i restore my backup from TWRP? Or is there a stock-rom, so i can backup from smart switch? My System is a LRX21T.G900FXXU1BOJ1
Thanks alot!

Try clearing the caches from recovery and boot again
If it fails, try wiping everything again, then restore all partitions except DATA
See if it boots
If it boots - either reinstall apps etc manually, or use TiBu to restore the DATA partition

I've got it!
I flashed a stock rom with odin and restore with smart switch. Some settings are missing, but i think 90% is restored

Nice job

MIUI backup doesn't boot up after restoring through TWRP

So... I installed LOS & it all went fine, but when I restored my MIUI backup with TWRP, the phone is stuck on the very first boot screen (on which it says Redmi by Xiaomi) & won't move any further. I've wiped the system, data & boot partitions yet no luck. What could be wrong? I want to go back to MIUI to backup my apps

it happened to me too.
when i done updating my device to newer nightly update, i got stuck on twrp decrypt data password. trying to restore back to miui, but then getting stuck on the very first boot screen.
i got no luck when trying several times restoring twrp recovery and miui, so i stay in LOS with no other options.
if someone could help please show me the guide.
thanks
