"Insufficient storage available" and "Error 24" after Nandroid restore
Hello all. This is one of my first few posts but I've been reading these forums for a while. This is the first problem I've really been stumped on even after Googling and searching these and other forums for a couple of days on and off.
Some background:
I had Cloudystock 2.5 installed on my D800 and had to SIM unlock my phone. Apparently Cloudystock didn't include the HiddenSIMUnlock apk. So I did a full Nandroid backup including EFS partition and installed the Stock Rooted KITKAT ROM - D80020k by Vectus. This gave me the option to SIM unlock and then I restored my backup. I cleared dalvik and regular caches for all the installs and restores.
I did make the mistake of restoring EFS once I had SIM unlocked, but I installed that stock ROM again, unlocked and restored which gave me the SIM unlock on the restored ROM.
I have deleted app cache through the storage settings. I have also backed up and wiped the SD-Ext partition to make sure that wasn't the culprit.
So, now comes the problem:
The big issue is that anything I try to install gives me either the "Insufficient storage available" error or "Error 24" It makes no difference what app I try to install. Also if I try to install directly and not via the Play store, it will not install the application.
This only happens on the restored backup. On Vectus's ROM or a Cloudystock new install, apps install fine. This leads me to believe it's a file on the data partition that is causing it. Otherwise though, everything seems to work as it should.
I forgot to add: installed applications auto-update without issue.
I'm pretty much stumped as to what to do next.
Some help would be appreciated as this has become somewhat frustrating and I would rather not lose my settings.
UPDATE: On a clean Cloudystock install, then restoring just /data the problem persists. Also, restoring then updating over it to latest Cloudystock does not change the behavior.
Does no one have any idea where this stems from? I would have to assume it's one or two files in /data creating this problem, but I don't have enough experience to know specifically which one.

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.
I searched and haven't found anything that's worked.
My phone was running fine after I flashed the crDroid rom. I then used Titanium Backup to only restore Bluetooth Connections, to see if it'd work. I had tried this same thing before with a full restore, and kept getting stuck in a Boot Loop, and had to restore and wipe constantly.
Now after I rebooted, it's giving me the "System UID Inconsistent - Please Wipe Data Partition .... I'm Feeling Lucky"
I press the I'm Feeling Lucky, and a lot of apps are gone. Is there a fix for this other than restoring and reformatting again? I've downloaded the Fix Permissions app from the App store, but no luck.
Thanks for any help!

I think you have not changed the settings in TB to the "legacy" folder. Search the forum for solutions
Probably the cleanest solution HERE
Alright, I am seriously about fed up with this phone. So earlier in the week, I rooted my T-Mo G2. Cool, no problems there. A day or so later I pushed TWRP to it. Good stuff, all fun. Now, since I flashed TWRP I have not been able to flash a ROM. I have tried every ROM available for my model, and they either flash successfully (supposedly) and then I reboot to a black screen after the LG splash screen or they say "Install Failed". So I gave up on the new ROM idea and restored my nandroid backup that I had made before I tried to do my first ROM install. Everything restored correctly and I thought I was on my merry way until my daily market updates came. I got an insufficient storage error on all my updates. Curious considering I have 8.3 GB of free storage yet. Ok, I play along and delete some of my large game apps, 1GB and up to free up another 3 gigs. Guess what I try to download any app and it says insufficient storage. Any help here would be appreciated before I decide to put the insurance (that the T-Mobile girl talked me into) to work.
UPDATE:
So I went back into TWRP, wiped everything with the advanced wipe and restored my nandroid backup again. This seems to have resolved the insufficient storage issue, now for the not being able to flash a new ROM issue.
If it happens again just clear the cache/data of the playstore app. That's worked for similar,issues on other phones.

Hi,
I had been using Temasek's Unofficial CM 11 ROM on my SM-N9005, then I decided to update to lollipop. So I backed up with Titanium Backup Pro, wiped data and dalvik and cache, flashed the AICP ROM, and now I'm trying to restore apps.
Restoring has been difficult in TB - it kept freezing/getting stuck on what seemed like random apps, and then it started to give me "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" messages, which reappear a few seconds after they're dismissed.
I've somehow reached the point where if I install ONE more app (no matter what it is or whether it's restored from TB or downloaded from Play Store), I get "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped", but if I uninstall it I'm fine.
I know that apps should use more space with the ART runtime, but I have ~7GB of free storage so it can't be that. It seems silly, but is there some kind of app limit in lollipop that I'm unaware of?
Thanks in advance!
Actually the most important thing is what method are you using for restore? I mean are you using the only restore missing apps method or something else? Cause if you are using a method other than that then you will have problems.

Did you take a nandroid backup? If so, Restore it after wiping then use TB to make an Apps Update.zip and copy it across to your ExtSDCard. THEN flash the ROM and GApps - i also flash SuperSU.zip at the same time. Then I start the phone and set up basic info. Then Back to Recovery and run the Apps.zip file.
I also use Nova Launcher so once in I restore the backup and Voila! I have almost everything back as I like it.
Another thing to check is the SDCardfix - you might want to download a zip of it and flash it while in Recovery. Once it is done and you are in LP version it seems OK, but I had to restore and older version of Temasek's ROM and promptly had SDCard access issues until I ran the fix again.
Thanks for your replies!
I am definitely doing "restore missing apps with data", though I am deselecting some of the apps (the very large ones) before restoring if that's an issue.
I didn't take a Nandroid backup unfortunately, I usually don't as I have no need for the data other than apps. Using an "apps.zip" sounds like an interesting approach - I might try that next time.
I'll try to work with the SD card - should I try to find and flash an LP version of SDCardFix or just use the KK one?
I tried reflashing the rom after a data, dalvik, cache, and /system wipe. Then I restored all apps, but the same problem came back, so the problem seems to be replicable.
Some people in the forums have suggested doing a "Fix permissions" in CWM, however that feature was obviously removed. There's a flashable zip that restores the feature apparently. Do you think I should try that or will it have no effect?
Thank you!
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?

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!
