Hi guys....
Is there a way to undo an overwrite on a file? I've overwritten a file on my sdcard in my S5 but realized I shouldn't have.....
It all started when my game data (Google Play game data) wasn't showing up properly....I selected the save location to be the device but when I started playing this afternoon all data was gone. Now in my game I was on level 10 with 2 cars and a nice amount of cash but after this afternoon I was still on level 10 but my cars were gone and my cash....AND I had to start over (but my level was still 10). How is that possible?
Ok fortunately this morning I had made a Titanium Backup of the game and data so I should be able to restore that to this morning's status.....wrong! THAT's the backup I've overwritten with a new Titanium backup. I actually made a backup of the first Titanium backup on my SD card but with the whole confusion I copied over the new backup to my SD card, overwriting this morning's good backup......
Anyone know how to recover my good backup files??

Hey all,
I recently backed up my G1 using Nandroid and wiped my phone clear. I don't want to restore to my backup, but I was curious how to open the files it creates on the SD card.
Basically, what I want to do is nab some data that Shazam saved (some song IDs) but I don't want to restore to the image. Any ideas?
Nevermind Just created a new backup of the fresh install and swapped over to the old one, got the info I needed and flashed back.
Im trying to restore a copy of my droid x system from this AM.
but as its copying the Data portion, i get into a file that it hangs on part of "casino" a .jpg, causes the whole thing to lock up and stop responding.
Anyway I can fix this backup? I have another backup but it restores the whole data section in 2 minutes...it doesnt seem to work either (((( Help!
apparently karma is not my freind this week
my backup was cut short due to lack of space on the SD card and CWM didnt notify me

Do you have any other backups you can restore to? I would recommend taking a backup of where you are at right now, even though you obviously want to restore to an earlier point.
If all of your backups are having the same issue, you may have a corrupt SDcard or a corrupt file that is sitting in your /data partition. This is not a definite, so don't freak out, but if you see the same result with many/all backups, I would look into this.
If you can deal with wiping your /data partition... I would take a backup of your current setup, then wipe /data... Then try restoring that backup... If it works, then I would be inclined to believe that one jpeg file may be corrupt, and is causing problems for any backup that has that file in there...
This is just a speculation from the info you have provided and around 6 years of IT work....
EDIT: NEVERMIND! It looks like you posted again while I was typing up my guess, looks like I was off! LoL
yea i was basically able to salvage most of it between the system of one, with the data of another. so im about 75% back to where i was.
obviously i need to either a: keep less stuff on my SD card, or B: use my spare 2gb card for backups...
One thing you may want to try if you are running out of space from lots of Clocwork backups...
Create a folder on your PC/Mac and copy off the folders in the yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm format and copy your backups from your SDcard onto your computer. Then you could delete them off of your sdcard. When I started making a lot of backups I was running out of room and copied some off. Then I deleted them off my sdcard. I have tested moving them back on, and restoring one that was on my PC, and didn't have any issues!
Just a thought...
Does the google backup my data option in settings actually backup any game data downloaded to internal storage? and more importantly will it get restored once i have logged in to the new one expected tomorrow?
Also does anyone know if I have the original boxed and ready to go whether I can hand it over directly to the man from TNT?
Pretty sure Google backup doesn't keep save data. Just copy your /sdcard/android directory to your PC, that should contain all the save data, then just copy the relevant folders back to your new device after installing the game. Restoring might be different for each game, I found that copying the entire fifa12 directory just forced the game to re-download the game data - but copying over just the save folder restored the same state perfectly.
No it won't backup that kind of data. Just stuff like your wifi pairings. You need to get some backup software like Titanium Backup from the Play Store to keep game data properly.
hey guys so i just lost all my data in final fantasy iv because i did a series of reformats on my phone. however when i restored using titanium backup. it only gave me a restored file from an ooold backup eventho i clicked on backup ALL data.
do you think it is because when i factory reset to prepare for a new rom, it deletes my final fantasy data?
help please cuz i switch roms frequently but i hate the fact i lost my data

Did you have backup App Cache and backup External Data enabled with TiBu?

A week ago, I was flashing through different roms, and I decided to do a data reset through the stock recovery. What a mistake I had made. I lost ALL data on my internal SDCard. *facepalm* (thankfully, I had most of it backed up elsewhere, so it was really just a massive inconvenience).
Do you have an external SDcard inserted? I'm curious: It's possible that you were storing backups on your external for some time, and then somehow switch to internal storage for backups... and then the internal got wiped (reverting back to external)?
Just a shot in the dark.
Guys This is a noob question but please help me with this
After Rooting my phone i backed up my apps with Titanium Backup with Apps + Data
then later i was planning to install a new ROM so i even backed up my ROM using Philz Touch Recovery with Data+System+Cache+Boot.
After trying several ROMS one of it asked for clearing the Internal Storage (Media Storage) and i lost all my photos and stuff.
Currently after returning to my Stock ROM and flashing Titanium Backup apps back i cant find My Audio Manager (Hiding App) data.
On Trying to remember i think that the app location was set to sd card.
I want to recover my Audio Manager Apps Data because it was really Important
I currently have a full backup of my stock ROM which totals abut 8.56 Gb is there any way to just get the data back.
It was reallly IMPORANT Please Help.
Titanium backup folder is set to the internal storage by default. Unless you changed that.
When restoring a backup there it should ask you what you want to restore. Data, system, boot, efs, etc.
Just select data. But this will restore all backed up data from your backup.
I know the stock samsung rom is about 3.5 GB, the rest is data. So you will have 5 GB of data that might need restoring.
