[Q] Can't restore data with nandroid - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello everyone, I immediately apologize for my English and if I wrote in the wrong place.
I have a Nexus One (Vodafone) that I've recently rooted with the dolomiti's guide (without losing warranty). After trying for a few days cyanogen 6 rc2 I wanted to restore the backup created with Rom manager before wiping and installing cyano. Unfortunately the recovery freezes every time at "restoring data" in a file named "event_data:lotsofnumber.txt". I need to remove the battery to restart the nexus that after rebooting starts with the stock frf91.
I tried several times but always crashes at the same point ... anything I can do?Is there a chance to complete my backup?

I have the same issue, and got no troubleshot.
If I do a backup it stops saving a data_event"numbers".txt
Can anyone help in this problem, actually i can't do any backups or restore them

[Q] Clockworkmod recovery not recovering PLEASE HELP!!

I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (rooted stock 4.0.4). I decided I would test out Clockworkmod touch recovery before doing anything too serious with it. So, I made a backup, rebooted, deleted an app, went back to recovery, and restored my backup. But, while it was restoring my data, it suddenly stopped and said "Error while restoring /data!" I rebooted and, after waiting through a really long boot, it booted into a semi-reset version of my phone. All of the apps claim to be installed but will not start.
So, thinking it could be a touch recovery issue, I flashed an older version of clockworkmod recovery and tried restoring after clearing my data, cache, factory reset, and Dalvik cache. Still, the exact same thing happened. I also tried restoring older backups, but the exact same thing happened.
What is going on, and what should I do? Thank you for your time.

There may have been a corruption in your data backup. Just delete that backup and make a new one.
Nope, I tried all three of my backups and had the same problem with all three. Plus, I can't simply make a new backup. I tried restoring to the backup and lost my stuff because it didn't finish restoring my data.
I'm having some issues with cwm too. Sometimes when I'm trying toi recover, it says "md5 mismatch", maybe its a linked problem?

rommanager
Install rommanager.apk premium and, to me is to solve the problem
So, I think I figured it out. Apparently, I only get this error when my backup contains more than a certain number of apps (or possibly the /data is over a certain size). Granted, I do have over 350 apps, but why is CWM Recovery messing up while trying to restore a big backup? It really should not affect it, but it seems to. So, I will be backing up with Titanium for my apps, and making nandroid backups only when I have under about 350 apps installed. If anybody else has any insight, please share it with me. Thanks.
The Answer (I am pretty sure...)
Okay, I think I finally figured it out. The reason it was not restoring properly was because I had about 350 user apps installed. My guess is that, while restoring, the recovery (CWM recovery in my case) puts the /data onto the RAM, and the RAM is not large enough to hold that much at once. I deleted a lot of apps, backed up in CWM recovery, and restored back to the backup, and everything worked flawlessly. I am surprised that no one has ever had this problem. So, in the future, I am making Titanium backups of all my apps, batch uninstalling a bunch of them from within Titanium (so that I have under 300 at the most), and then making a backup. Then, I can flash a new ROM, recover, or whatever and finally use Titanium to put all my apps and data back. I just thought I would post this in case anyone else ever finds this problem. It was really frustrating for me, but the insufficient RAM theory seems to explain it. Post your thoughts on the matter.

[Q] Help, stuck in bootloop with CM 10 ROM

So I was able to successfully root my AT&T HTC One X and decided I wanted to install the CM 10 ROM (1st ROM install). I did all the data backups with Titanium, downloaded the latest zip files from cyanogenMod (both the 12/13 and 12/14 nightly versions), transferred them to my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), did a back-up, did a system wipe, flashed the ROM and then did a reboot. However, when it boots it gets stuck in the boot-up screen (bootloop) and doesn't do anything. I have read on this and it keeps saying to wipe system data again and flash the ROM again and it keeps doing this. I want to install this ROM, but I need some help. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
Note: I accidentally posted this in the Android Q&A section, so I apologize for the double post. I just think this is probably the best place to get my answer.
Did you flash the boot.img?
I did, but incorrectly the first time. I flashed it the right way and everything is working good. Then only problem I have now is when restoring from Titanium Backup it gives me an error from a process called com.android.phone (I think that is what it said). So I wiped it again and rebooted and everything is fine. I can reinstall all the apps, but what could cause that? Could it be some of the data backed up doesn't cooperate with this ROM? Either way I love the CM10 ROM.

if they are backups from sense, that *MAY* cause problems, but don't quote me on that. I don't use sense, can't say for sure
OK, maybe that is why. Not a big deal since I haven't had the One X too long. Thanks for the help guys.
Good to know

[Q] Bootloop After Using Titanium Backup

Hi Guys, my friend recently rooted my RAZR HD via TeamViewer but didn't install a custom ROM or a recovery. Before I did a factory reset to clean things up, I backed up everything to my SD card using Titanium. After finishing the backup, Titanium said I should reboot to finish the restoration. Every since then I've been bootlooped. Do any of you know of a solution to fix this?
Thanks,
Carter
I don't think Titanium asks for a reboot when doing any sort of back up. It will ask for a reboot when doing certain restorations. It doesn't ask you to reboot when restoring user apks but it does on system apk.
If I'm understanding your question right, you backed everything up but then you decided to restore everything. If you never installed a ROM then it is strange for it to boot loop. If hyou did install a ROM then it could have started to boot loop if you restored a system file that isn't compatible with the ROM.
What I would do is start from scratch. Factory reset the phone, re-root, re-install Titanium, and restore only the user apps and your SMS messages if you save them. It's a slight hassle but only about 1 hour worth of your time. By the time you begin trying debug everything to find the culprit you would have lost hours.

I don't know if it will work in this situation but you might try wiping cache/dalvik cache in the recovery. That way you aren't starting from scratch. If this doesn't work, try the above suggestion instead.
Sorry for the late response. Did another factory reset and didn't use Titanium this time. Anyone know how to get my texts back though?

If you saved everything in titanium backup... then you have a backup of your messages. Open Titanium, click the batch tab, scroll to the restore section, and then restore and only restore the message thing. It should be a green color and on the right it should say xml. It will restore all your texts and mms. Just don't get confused and restore the messenger app.
If you have a lot, then be patient and make a sandwich, it's a little slow.

[Q] Nandroid Backup Stuck on Boot Screen

Hi all,
Yesterday I was flashing a theme for the Vemon ROM on the M8. I ended up deciding I didn't like it, so I tried to go back and flash a backup I had made. However, once I flashed the backup, the device wouldn't boot up past the HTC One white screen (it will go past the HTC logo by itself, but then the One appears on the screen and stops there). I have no idea why, as I have made backups before and have had no issues. On the default backup name, it does say KOH Release keys. I don't know if that means anything. I was able to get to recovery and flash the base Venom ROM, but I'd like to know why my backups are not playing nice.
Any and all help regarding this would be appreciated.
Did you try wiping everything before restoring your backup?

I had the same, exact issue. Absolutely no reason why it shouldn't have worked. I made sure the Nandroid copied the necessary partitions/directories and also performed a full wipe before restoring the backup. Same issue. I was on TWRP and I'm pretty sure there is some issue with TWRP.
I haven't attempted to make a backup or restore a Nandroid since, so I don't know whether its still an issue.

I tried wiping everything yes. I did a factory reset data wipe first, and then tried installing the backup. I don't know why it did not work. I was eventually able to get out of the boot screen with an volume up and power key combination, but it was more frustrating not knowing why this issue was happening. If anyone knows why this is occurring, I would gladly like to know.

[Q] Backing up Apps & SMS/MMS

First, I apologize if this has been answered already.
I'm currently running DH GPE Lollipop 3/6/15 due to an update issue that forced me to downgrade.
Last week I updated TWRP to the latest version, then tried flashing the most current DH GPE Rom and ran into a boot loop. 20mins with nothing happening. Restarted and reflashed, still nothing. Flashed the version I had running before and same thing. I ran a TWRP backup month ago, so I just flashed that but lost all my SMS/MMS and current apps.
My question is, what is in your opinion the best way to backup SMS/MMS and Apps?
I hear a lot of things about Titanium, but I don't find it very easy to use and complicated. Would I be able to backup Apps and my text messages with TWRP and reflash them after I install a new update?
Thanks

why do you say titanium is complicated?? Its quite easy. I've been using it since my Galaxy S days. Once you make your backup just move it your external sd card. I also never restore data, just user apps.
+1 om SMS Bacup and restore. I always back up to my google drive.
When I wipe my phone first app I download is Titanium, then I restore my apps, the restore my sms/mms with SMS back up and restore, takes about 20 minutes, maybe.
