Crash of philz touch recovery on data restore - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have two 6.5gb backups that I cant restore. I have one smaller that I can restore.
It restores about 3.5gb before the screen goes black and shortly after I am on the main screen of Philz touch with no error messages. One is CM11 backup, other is stock samsung rom backup.
Anybody knows what it might be?

Custom restore with data unchecked works. Restore with only data checked goes black screen and back to main screen.
It looks like data restore barely completes, freezes on first message after restore "restoring selinux context".
I can boot but I get Calendar force closes, as well as Keep

[SOLVED] Data gone after crash ?

Hello, I exited a game and my phone screen go black (it crashed) so I had to press power off for 10 second but i got a bootloop when it booted.
I tried to wipe cache/dalvik cache but I was stuck at the part when the phone was preparing all the app for boot.
So I made a backup and restored a previous backup. Now can I restore my data from the backup by browsing it or what ever to restore my sms or some game data ?
Thanks
Re: Data gone ?
Bump
The only method I know to restore data is Titanium Backup.
What combo rom/kernel you have?
Was a nandroid backup? (if so, you should have everything back)
Re: Data gone ?
I was on cm10 with motley kernel
I had a backup but it was 1 day old so I lost many sms+ data but I found an app to browse my backup I made after the crash and restore thing like sms, call, wifi setting, browser data, home screen...

Error when restoirn data portion of nandroid backup + causing other problems.

Ok, so I have made a number of nandroid backups and after doing some ROM flashing I decided to restore to one of them. I am using TWRP2.6.0.0 and when I clicked on restore it went through all the normal processors for boot, system and recovery but when it reached the data section it took the usual time to restore data (300 secs or so) but then an error message appeared.OK I thought to myself, this backup must just be corrupt so I tried a previous one but the exact same thing occurred. I decided to reboot anyway and it booted up fine but strangely it seemed like the data had already been restored, Google account was logged in, alarms were set ect, but when I launched an app all the data had been erased. I have tried restoring backups using TWRP 2.5.0.0 and 2.6.0.0, backups both with and without compression and restoring each part indevidualy but still I got the same results. As I had no titanium backup data for most of my apps I used an app called nandroid manager root. This let me access the app data from by nandroid backups and restore them and that worked fine. For a while everything worked fine until I noticed a few of my apps had been uninstalled, exposed installer, too manager, 3d mark and few more, I tried redownloading from the play store but I keep getting "app not installed errors" I have also tried installing the apk and using root apps to install it but I keep getting errors. this makes me think some files must'be restored from the nandroid and are not letting the app be installed. I'm not sure and I'm quite a noob but I am wondering if their's anyway to fix this without factory reseeting and if theirs any way to get future nandroid backups to work. Thank you.

[Q] Problem restoring backup

I tried a new rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...galaxy-s5-stock-rom-final-fast-clean-t2888215) for the first time and it wouldn't work properly (no mobile connection, menu and back buttons didn't work, etc.)
When I restored my backup, I did it like I always did on my last phone: wipe data/cache/davlik cache, restore backup, reboot.
I can't get past multiple notifications that process.google.gapps (might not be exactly what it said) has stopped, and I can't do anything but pull my battery and try another ROM.

How to restore/extract from NANDROID backup made with TWRP 2.8.x.x?

So the phone was going crazy with frequent FCs so I decided to wipe it clean and install a new Resurrection Remix ROM.
Did a nandroid with TWRP 2.8.x.x before wiping and now I have trouble restoring in the new ROM using titanium backup from the play store, patched with lucky patcher. In TB, I can get to the app selection screen and when the loading bar appears, it never gets past 0%. But it just magically says restore completed after some time. None of the app I chose ever gets restored.
So now I'm trying to extract the apps and data on a PC, and copying them into the phone manually. Question is, how do I get my hands on the files in the nandroid?
Buy TB Pro instead of patching .
No questions in this forum by the way .
As stated, try buying instead of using Warez!!!!
Thread locked, you will not get help!

Titanium Backup: why do I keep getting errors when restoring data?

I've noticed two problems that crop up when I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps/data
1) If I try to restore the missing apps + data, sometimes everything gets restored, and sometimes it gives me "X elements failed", where some apps will not be installed. This happens whether I restore on the same ROM that I backed up on (backup on Cloudy G2, restore on Cloudy G2) , or if I use a different ROM (backup on NDM 5.5, restore on Cloudy G2). I thought I found a work around, where I just install the app from the Play Store first, and THEN I would restore the app data. That worked a few times until....
2) When I tried restoring my app data last night after a fresh KDZ wipe, the apps that I restored data on all couldn't start (Snapchat, Amazon, Wechat, SwiftKey). I would tap them, they would try to open for half a second, then they would close. I tried restarting my phone, but with that, I got "UIDs on your system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable". I was stupid, and decided to wipe my data partition so I had to restore all my apps from scratch, but that at least hasn't lead to any problems yet.
Does anyone know what I did wrong, or what I can do to fix this? I know for number 1, some threads mentioned that your Android I.D. changes when you flash a new ROM (that MIGHT explain number 2?), but not a lot of people mention this, and it seems like the majority of people don't have this problem. For number 2, I found this thread, but it was too late already.
If possible, I'd like to find a backup app that avoids ALL of these and just lets me back things up and restore easily. Is there one out there?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is a supersu issue, open supersu than go to is setting and not select "name space mount separation" that is selected by default.
Now titanium can work as intended

That will fix both problems that I have?
Try, I was unable to use it untill I change the SuperSu setting and now Titanium is working perfectly, so probably your problem is the same.
Oh I mean, I can use it just fine. It can perform backups. But restoring is a when I get those errors. I'll keep this in mind in case I need to restore to a new ROM, thanks!
