Hey guys, needs some assistance. I just upgraded to 5.0. I made a nandroid backup before doing so but I assumed that google would backup app data. It did for most but for most but some apps the data wasnt saved. Is there a way to restore app data only through TWRP? Also when loading TWRP on 5.0 I cant see the nandroid directory I made for 5.0 and TWRP doesnt recognize my old kit kat nandroid. To clarify If i use the file manager I can see it but when selecting restore it oly shows the 5.0 nandroid I made. Am I missing something? Did the directory of the nandroids get moved from 4.4 to 5.0? I want to avoid installing the stock 4.4 image just to restore my kit kat nandroid , then backup my data correctly then reinstall 5.0. There's gotta be a workaround....help?
Nevermind. I just bit the bullet and flashed the factory 4.4 image. restored my nandroid, did a proper backup, and reflashed 5.0. Close the thread

So my Nexus was acting really slow (I'm on 4.2.1), so I decided to backup via CWM and then factory reset, and do an Advanced Restore to restore my data. I backed up and did factory reset, but when I went to restore my backup, it couldn't be found. Apparently 4.2 moved the default CWM location to search "data/media/" and I didn't have my backups there (obviously). So I moved the clockworkmod folder from /sdcard/ to data/media/ and tried to restore. It gave me an MD5 mismatch, so I researched that, found a solution, and did restore. Unfortunately, that bricked my Nexus 7 so I had to restore via the ToolKit.
My question is…is there any possible way I can restore my data to my now factory-fresh (4.2.1) Nexus 7 from the backup I made? I have the backup and the blobs.
Bump, the same thing just happened to me and I dont want to create a new thread. Is there any way to restore a 4.1.2 backup from a device running 4.2.1? Thanks in advance
EDIT: I solved it by booting into CWM and then pushing the rom, full wiping and installing again
Hey guys!
So yesterday, I installed the app 'Android Control Center'. I messed around with a few settings and ended up in a bootloop. I do not have anything backed up in Titanium backup. So I made a nandroid backup in the hope that id be able to restore my apps out of that by using nandroid manager, but all of my app data were not extracted from the nandroid. So now im planning to restore the nandroid backup and use TWRPs file manager to remove that apk and its data. Are there any other things I should do to fix this problem? Will this work??
Guys, any help is appreciated!!!
Hardly believe that app can cause your system into bootloop... anyway, if you want to try.
Titanium Backup can restore apps from Nandroid backup, preferably CWM tar backup. However, this function is currently having issues with Android 4.3, so if you want to reflash the ROM, pick ROM with 4.2.2.
I believe TWRP backup should also works, but I haven't try it before. If you need to use TWRP, do it without compression & encryption.
IMO your problem can be a simple fix by remove the faulty app and reflash the ROM.
just reflash your rom via recovery, dont wipe, you wont lose any data
Alright thanks for the response. I copied my TWRP backup to my PC, extracted it and now I'm trying to copy the data folder from my TWRP backup to my ROM's data folder. Hopefully, this will work.
PS - I removed the app and i reflashed the rom but that didn't seem to fix the problem.

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?

Try twrp>BACKUPS>01adfafasfbbdf(some number)>Here. This is the location where your nandroid backups are stored when you make them. :good:
Hello,
I just installed the N preview with a decrypted boot.img, rooted it with the new SuperSU and now I'm trying to restore my apps with titanium backup. Unfortunately it doesn't work. It gets stuck at restoring the first app. Do you guys have any idea about how I can restore my old apps+settings?
PS: I also have a nandroid backup of my old ROM, so I can restore that one, install another app if necessary and then reflash the N preview.
