I made a backup when i first decided to flash a ROM on my phone, but i didn't know about apps like titanium backup at that time, where i can just backup an app or game and also backup the data along with it.
is there a way to get into any of the image files from the nandroid backup and retrieve data like game saves/data and stuff?
Boot into recovery scroll to backup and restore then advanced restore AND ONLY RESTORE DATA. This will give you all your game progress back. I do this everytime I flash a new cm7 build and it works everytime.

I (finally) flashed v2.0 touchmiuiwiz, someone suggested that since nandroid restores cause fc's, that i should flash the rom, reboot, let it load, then go back into cwm and restore data.
i did that, and the music player/camera/gallery/etc still dont work. i guess i'm being forced into titanium backup. question is - does it work if i make a backup ON THIS ROM then restore? or do i have to flash a different rom that doesn't fc said apps, THEN backup, then flash v2.0 and restore?
also, how does tit backup work? after flashing, where do i go to restore data? thanks bros.
anyone? =|
when you make a backup and restore you have to wipe data/factory ereset and it will work from any rom!
titanium backup makes a backup file of all your apps on the sd card and you can backup whenever you want.
so after the data wipe, i re-download titanium backup and restore from there?
Yeah, pretty much. TB Pro you don't have to confirm each app install when restoring. It was expensive but since I flash often it really speeds up the recovery process.
You can back up settings as well as apps. But I would only restore settings if on the same rom, no matter the version, unless significant. But all else, apps you can restore from any rom no problem. However, if you get a FC in an app (sometimes I'd get it for Gmail) you can just wipe the data for that app. It usually resolves the problem.
I have few questions about backups:
Nandroid:
1) So when I restore from a nandroid backup what do I exactly restore. I restore the rom this means any .zip mods I installed are gone. Do I restore radio, kernel, firmware, hboot?
2) When I do nandroid backup what happens to applications and data?
Titanium
3) What exactly system data backup (batch) backups? If I want to backup my my settings and WI-fi pairings and sms and phone call history and maybe some other 2-3 little things. If I do system data backup I will backup these things but when I restore if my previous configurations had lots of bloatware would I get unwanted things on my new configuration and slow down my phone?
4) Backing all user apps backups only .apks it means it installs the applications again?
5)User apps+ data means it will reinstall the apps and include saves and settings and etc right?
6) I've heard when backing up apps it's better to skip data why?
Thank you!
1. If you restore a previous backup then your mods will be gone (if they were not in that backup). kernel & firmware restored; hboot & radio not.
2.They get backed up (but not the data from the SD Card - just internal memory).
3. What you select (in Batch you can select). You just delete bloatware using TB after restore.
4. Correct, for settings and data you need the APPS+DATA option
5. Right
6. To avoid any complication with newer/older firmware - I always restored with data, and had no issues.
Thank you!
I just didn't understand completly about nandroid backup and apps.
If I use my phone for 5 days and install 5 aps and do a backup then use it 6 more days and install 6 more aps. After I do a nandroid restore the 6 aps installed after backup are lost and from the 5 installed before backup the ones that are not on SD will be restored. Correct? And if this is correct the restored apps will be only apk or apk + data?

Okay so i have multiple games or had multiple games that require to be backed up and installed new roms and factory reset etc.. Is there a way to save data such as login information stored for netflex or simple savedata on angry birds or ckzombies? (prefer not to use titanium backup because for some reason it wont find root).

You should be able to do a nandroid backup for this , go to CWM and go to backup and restore , advance , choose how you want to backup and proceed from there (you should be able to backup data only)
I have been using titanium backup so I haven't tried "my backup root" but it would be my next option I think they pretty much do the same thing, I know it at least backs up the data with the apps unlike other "backup apps. Also I wanted to mention if you do just go the nandroid way there's an app called nandroid browser that works good. You can restore individual apps with it instead of having to restore the whole nandroid backup image, it actually opens up the image & you can browse all of the files on it & restore what you want. I haven't tried it on my tablet yet but it ended up working on my phone it just took a while the first time or two when I started it I didn't think it was gonna work but I got patient & realized it worked.
Here are the links if you want to check them out-

Thank you ill give it a try i didnt see any type of nandroid backup in the recovery(unless your talking bout a regular standard backup in recovery? Id like to do a backup to restore all the system apps and data it was before backing up).... Will the backup also backup how my desktop is arrnged i just never grasped what system data collects besides the data from some apps
Edit: recovery didnt give me any type of option to just backup data....

I am playing a mobile game and the save of the game should be identified by mobile information (maybe IMEI or something else) which the save wont be wiped by re-installing the game unless using "Factory data reset" function.
I used to doing backup and restore using Titanium Backup which the game save should be restored after restoring.
I installed new roms and restore my apps using Titanium Backup earlier today.
However, I mistakenly logged in my game before Titanium Backup notified me to reboot to complete the restoration.
I then reboot my phone and my game save is gone.
Is there any method to remove the restoration and convert my phone information back to the moment when my restore is not yet complete without final reboot?:crying:
I am using Nexus 4 on purity rom.
Thanks

Can't you just restore the game again? You can also choose to restore only data if you want. Or just uninstall the game and restore it again.
It should work....unless I'm missing something.
i have a cwm backup and want to restore apps from it . ant way to do it?
Hi,
If your cwm version has an option to restore data partition only... That can work. But, I've read many issues from people trying to do this. Using Titanium backup to backup your apps and data is by far the better way.
You could restore your full backup. Get titanium backup and backup your apps and data. Then flash a new rom and get titanium backup again and restore your user apps.
That's the best and most popular way. ?
Good luck!
