is it possible to restore the data (eg images) that has previously been erased during the flashing process. because I forgot to do a backup before. if there is a way to restore it please let me know. Please help. I lost a very important data and want to restore it, because there are a lot of valuable photos are priceless. :crying::crying::crying:

So I haven't really used any custom ROMs due to the huge work needed after flashing one, I have too many apps installed and save games that I don't wish to lose.
Well I've decided to check out a few of the ROMs today and see which one I will like best, but I would first like to ask how I would back up my stock ROM is the first place. Now as far as I know you can do a nandroid backup using CWM and so I did that, it made a backup of my stock ROM along with data files off all the apps.
Now let's say I've been with this custom ROM for a few weeks and I'm sick of it, and I would like to return to the stock one. Can I restore stock by flashing CWM again, going to the backup menu and choose restore and then browse to the backup I made? Will it restore my stock ROM + data without problems?
Another thing I'm curious to know is, what's the best way to backup all of my apps along with their save games so that I can restore them to the custom ROM once I've flashed it? I've read about Titanium Backup but I do not see a "Select all" option, backup one after another would be a pain.
I hope I didnt confuse anyone with all these questions.
Use batch operation in TBackup
It allows u to backup n restore all apps+data
You can restore ur backup

Stupid me, how could I have not noticed that option. Thanks I have just started backing everything up, I suppose the correct option is "Backup all user apps + system data"?
As for the stock ROM backup, will it work as I said? I've read that CWM has bugs when it comes to restoring such nandroid backups. Also do I need to wipe cache and data before I can restore my stock nandroid backup?

1) Yes, its the correct option. It even backups save games and the entire data
2) It doesnt matter if you wipe data or not. But its fine if you dont do that. I dont wipe data at every nandroid restore and had no problems. Either way its the same, no need to worry about this. CWM backups wont restore or give some problems only when you restore a backup with different kernel. For restoring to work perfectly , the present kernel(before restore) and to be restored kernel must be the same.

Great, thank you.
For now I have transfered all the files from my TitaniumBackup folder to my computer. I am planning on transferring them back to my SD card once the ROM flashing is complete. After I put the TitaniumBackup folder on my SD card, I install Titanium Backup again and it will read the backups right? Then all I do is choose the option to restore them all and it will work with no problems?
Sorry again for too much questions but I always like to be on the safe side when doing such things, :angel: I crapped my pants when I ended up with a bootloop on my old phone :laugh:

Hey guys,
I have a stupid question to ask. I backed up my data using titanium backup while on kitkat. I didn't move that data over to my pc.
I installed lollipop(OTA). Many problems, so I did a factory restore. Wiped everything.
Question: Is my titanium backup data truly gone, or is is saved somewhere that I can't see unless I re-root it again?
Thanks guys for taking the time to answer.

Hello Guyzz,
I need big help !
I accidentally made my Nexus 4 to factory restore and lost complete data.
Now I need to get back my complete data, mainly Apps data (which had personal notes), gallery (ahh memories), text messages and wats app.
I have synced google account for contacts and apps, but not for pics (google+).
After a day of researching blogs what I found was,
If we route mobile and install some apps like DiskDigger and run scan, there a possibility of getting back data.. Is this true ?? -- If so after routing will I get official google android updates as before ?? if not can I go back to stock after routing and recovering data through app and get regular official google android updates as before ??
If not.. Is there any way to get back lost data ??--- if so pls guide me !

I honestly do not know if that app will work to recover wiped data.
Lets suppose you unlock/root the phone and flash a "custom" recovery in order to try the DiskDigger app and it miraculously works
Afterwards, you will still receive your Google OTA update notifications like always.
You would however need to flash back to the "Stock" recovery in order to successfully install the OTA update.
You will also lose root access if you install a Google OTA update.
Keep in mind also, you can always re-lock and/or restore your phone back to it's factory original state after trying that app.
There are many tutorials here on XDA.
Search, read, learn and then if you still need help, post, and many good people will try to help you.
You could start in the sticky Ultimate Nexus 4 Root Guide for info on Unlocking The Bootloader And Obtaining Root.
Best of luck
Heyy joegestes,
U are 1 among the good ppl.. who educated and clear my big doubts.
Thanks a lot mate for your valuable feedback. I think now I feel little confident of unlocking my nexus and try disk digger app. Let me give a try with that app. Hope it works.

Hope to see your reply soon buddy !!

If your device is not unlocked, unlocking to root it will wipe the device. That'll wipe your data once again. However, afaik, there is not going to be a way to recover your deleted files.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I do agree and I did mentioned it would be miraculous if that app recovered wiped data.
As @ jd1639 rightly points out, unlocking will wipe your data partition once again,
making it even more unlikely the app would recover any data.
It still might be worth the effort learn to unlock/root and flash custom recovery on your device.
Then it is possible to make periodic nandroid backups of you ROM and/or use Titanium Backup-root to backup apps&data.
Also good to know how to transfer those backups and photos etc. over to your PC using usb
so in the event of an other inadvertent wipe, you wont lose everything.
OK so i forgot my password and my phone auto factory reset . Now I need help figuring out if i can even have the slightest chance of recovering my data. One problem im facing is the fact that the SM-900V needs to be rooted and the only way that i can find is by flashing the original rom and from there root to try to recover at least something.
Now I have some questions...
Anyone gone through this and tried doing what im want to try to do to recover data?
If i were to flash the original rom, would the data still possibly be there or does the flash completely destroy the data?
Can someone please HELP ME!
Well i'll post if i make any progress under here...
-tried kingo root, unfortunately it didn't work
THANK YOU!

Some off the pictures and phone contacts may be save in your google account or google drives . For messages use Verizon message + , it will restore the last 90 days messages .

Did you ever done a safestrap or titanium backup ?
You can try DiskDigger or another app similar. I lost pictures that i forgot to back up when i had flashed a new ROM and it retrieved them.
so, i did the sensible thing and made a backup before toying around.
however when i try to restore it says "cannot restore system -- mounted read only. "
Anyone that might know a solution?
well, i have some progress but now it freezes at "restoring system image" and reboots the phone
Same happened to me...I lose all my data

Seems pretty obvious, but are you guys all BL unlocked? Or just running it via boot command? Also, have any of you decrypted/formatted data?

I am bootloader unlocked (running the lex720) I have not encrypted my data, it all seems weird to me. Not an issue I've had before.
I gave up and installed a new 18s on it, thankfully I had nothing really important on that backup.

The only partitions you should back up are Boot, Cache, System, Data and EFS. In my experience, trying to restore backed up System Image, Recovery and Firmware doesn't work.
Try restoring only Boot, Cache, System, Data and EFS and see if the restore completes.

I thought you shouldnt restore efs EVER. Just make a backup first time and keep it safe somewhere, and never use it unless efs partition ****s up. You dont **** with efs partition lol

Its just storing your imei adress ant stuff. Why restore it, if you cant even delete it? Do full wipe, efs is still there. And like every other memory type, with each re-write its wearing, and it can eventually **** up(ofcourse very little chance) and leave you with only media device(no sim service). So i dont really see a point in restoring efs. Just having a backup is fine
