Hello
I have a clockworkmod backup image taken from my S2 and wanted to know if it's possible to load up the image somehow (without installing it back onto an android phone) and extract the emails / text messages from it?
There must be someway of doing it on a pc or mac?
Like some virtual rom reader program ?
Thanks
Its called nanoide browser its in the market

For anyone else looking, it's actual "Nandroid Browser" and it looks pretty cool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dvZGRjaGVuLmFuZHJvaWQubmFuZHJvaWRicm93c2VyIl0.
Looks like this will do the job.
Big thankyou !!:good::good::good:
or try AppExtractor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEwOSwiY29tLmhhbmR5YW5keS5hcHBleHRyYWN0b3IiXQ..
App extractor doesnt find my backup rom? ?
Even though the option to restore messages is there in the main menu.
Nandriod browser there are no options to find messages? ?
So back to the start again.
Changed the default back up rom folder location and app extractor now finds the rom.
However on trying to restore my messages, the process seems to look like it works but it doesn't
it wiped ALL current messages and no restore of old messages!!
The rom was made by cwm on an s2 and I'm restoring messages on a note.
Rubbish if you ask me, total garbage.

Try winrar on your PC to open the .tar.a file to open and you will be able to get what you want.

None of the processing modes work for me, and I get "parse error" when using the interactive mode. Any ideas?
i was able to restore succesfully
Hmm. Maybe it's because I downloaded straight from my Dropbox. I'll try directly copying the files.
Edit: That did the trick.
Any ideas why I might be getting a problem where I select an App, it says 'What would you like to restore?' and there are no buttons underneath to select App or Data?
Hi all,
Yes it should work with 2.3, I've already got positive reports, including a couple from G themselves
Parse error means an apk backup is corrupted. I'll do some additional tests on the Dropbox download code, since it might be related.
Thanks!

This happens when you have a data-only backup, and you can't restore it because the app is not installed anymore. The typical case is system apps that are gone in your new Rom.
Okay, it looks like I backed them up wrong I guess. Will have another go, thanks.
I tried again, still not working...
Each app has 3 files in the folder. Some apps I can install from the market and then re-apply the data, but others wont (K-9 Mail for example)
Any ideas?
This is very strange, you should definitely be able to restore the data from any backup, as long as the corresponding app is installed...

Indeed, there was a serious problem with the Dropbox download code. That's the last time I'm taking Dropbox's sample code for granted. It's fixed in 3.6.5 (and the problem existed only for *downloading*, not for uploading).
Thanks !
I can restore app data if I manually install the app first. I used to be able to batch backup all my apps and then batch restore them all. Why can't I from 2.2 to 2.3?

Probably something wrong with your source, in this case, the apps and data. I've had no issue at all besides updating busybox when I first launched the app. I just transfered the TB folder from my computer to the phone and did a restore, everything worked fine.

Thanks for the awesome quick fix! Just another reason why Titanium Backup is one of my most loved apps!

I've tried two backups now both the same problem.
Market busybox is 1.17, so I installed it (and ran it), but in TB it still says 1.16?

Am having difficulties too. Restoring from a Desire (Leedroid 2.2f) to a nice new Desire HD (Leedroid 1.51). Have even tried to restore from the original SD card, but Titanium on the HD never sees / recognises the backup made on the desire. And yes, the backup folders in titanium are set to the same name and path (default). The Titanium app versions are different - The newest version is on the HD and I understand that it is meant to support backups from previous versions. I can see all the backup files in the backup folder too. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

Wouldn't that be 300 minutes at 1 per minute...?
I think it's 0.1 mins/app, or about 6 seconds each based on your time and apps.
i do suck at match
i'll die without a piece of Tech with me
i used to remember the whole multiplication table up to 12x12, and come up with the answer immediately
but now it takes me a while to even think the answer for 3x7 LOL
too CPU dependent now

Should I try it via dropbox - Would it make any difference?
Am not using the same gmail address for the new phone - Does Titanium try and be very clever and link the backup to a user or a specific device?

no, TB will restore it regardless, but any purchased apps, will be gone from market
the purchased apps are linked to specific gmail accounts
Hello
Just got my new Google Nexus S : )
I wanted to know if It would be better to wait till google releases the new ICS 4.0 Andriod and get it updated and then go with New Roms
or
Should i install a new ROM now for better speed and stability ?
If yes, which ROM should i start off with as i am a total beginner with Rooting/Flashing etc.
I dont mind waiting till 4.0 Android is released...
Any suggestions ?
Putting ROMs on it now doesn't exclude you from putting ICS on it later. Go have fun with it and try out different ROMS. When ICS comes out, you can put that on it too. No restrictions !!
But wouldnt rooting the device bar me from updating to ICS officially from Google ?
Yes but there will be ICS ROMs released here that you can install
Stock Android is actually pretty good and very stable. But if you want to toy around, just go ahead and have fun with the great ROMs we have available now.
Greetz
U can also flash back to stock when ics comes out and update officially and reroot and your good

That is the one I used...how ever I would suggest getting a 5.0.2.0 recovery image as the one in the file that goes with that video is an older version...it will still work though.

Which ROM or Kernel did you try out ?
How about using Rom Manager by ClockworkMod?
Which program to use for backing up Data (contacts, messages etc) before Rooting the device ?
off topic, but since you asked about backing up contacts im sure this could help. Go to your contacts, and choose the option to back them all up to SD card. After that, choose to delete all your contacts from your phone, then restore the backup from SD, but choose to restore them as gmail contacts instead of to your phone. This way when you sync your gmail account your contacts will just repopulate. Very handy when flashing new roms ect

When i import "IMport from USB Storage", it does not ask me to import as Gmail Contacts.
How do i do that ?
For me,
I will import my contacts in gmail (via browser in pc) so i can manage easily,edit,create group, etc..
and finally sync it all to phone.
That was i done when i use android for the first time.

Hi all,
i have a rooted sensation that has had the touch screen fail and needs to be sent off for warranty repair / replacement and dont want to lose all my sms messages.
I have access to recovery and have backed up via clockworkmod. Is it possible to extract sms messages from the cwm backup?
My current phone i would like to transfer them to is a rooted nexus 4.

Couldn't work as i couldn't acees my phone to enable. Also, i had a ccynaogen rom, so not sureif it would work anyway.
In the end, ran clockworkmod, copied files to desktop, then used 'yaffs-mmssmsdb-calls-extractor', and imported the xml usin sms bakup on the phone so all good.
That was smart move.. May be helpful to many... It's solved... thread needs to be closed...

Install Titanium Backup from google play, select sms and mms, make a backup. Keep 3 backup files, restore them later as you wish.
you can use nandroid backup and through it you can easily extract sms and even app data of whichever app you need
I need to extract info from a nandroid of my dead HTC Senastion.
Anyone know of a PC emulator for Nandroid or Titanium backup?
Ive read that Titanium can open Nandroid files...is this true?
Ive tried nandroid browser from market but cant seem to extract much with it.
Nandroid manager is an app that does the work you want. But actually.. The thing is that it is an android app... Try on an android emulator for pc and run nandroid manager through it.

Needs root (Im not going to root my new Nexus) so PC emulator is what I need.
Looking at the app....options are to restore texts, contacts etc but can I explore these on a PC with this app?

No, IMO, it won't ever boot. Despite that, contacts and sms msgs are not like for example system apps that you can extract easily from the nandroid...
If you can resurrect your senny, I believe your only solution is to restore the backup. And then you can make a backup of your sms msgs using a 3rd party app, and your contacts by logging in to your gmail account, sync it, and log back in in your nexus 5.

Used this app and it wail restore call logs, texts, etc. but you need root. Without root there really isn't a way to do it. If you need more info pm me.

Hi all.
I tend to switch Roms here and there, or load a new version and have to wipe and format.
I was wondering what the best way to restore is.
I am debating between;
Using titanium backup to restore only apps plus data - is this best to load the ROM and restore after installing the titanium app?
Or make a zip file and install from recovery? Also if from recovery, should I let the ROM load first then load zip second time around?
Alternately, I can use my backup pro and restore all. But again, is it a zip file to restore in recovery ? And if yes, when is best to do it? After ROM install or let ROM load first? I noticed recovery pro also has the options of sms, call logs and other settings which is nice.
Please let me know your thoughts and if any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Titanium for when you are rooted and Helium for when you are not rooted. Helium also backups sms calls if i`am right. I use CallTrack to store the phonelogs and display them in Google Calendar.
Hi and thanks. I am rooted.

I have used titanium for years, has never failed me. It also backs up and restores sms and mms. I have also used rom toolbox pro and my backup pro in the past.
