Hello people!
I have made a backup with cwm 5 of my OS with apps on ext4 (using S2EXT) and then wiped everything to try CM 10.1.
Now I want to restore my old backup. What should I do? When I reboot, I find my old CM 9 but without any installed apps I backup'd.

Using the latest titanium Backup on the latest cyanogen nightly. A few nightlys before i made a Full wipe and restored my Apps without a Problem.
Yesterday i made again a Full wipe for newest nightly and wan't to restore my Apps via titanium Backup. Folder With the Backup Apps is on the sd-Card but when i wan't to restore titanium says there is only the Data Left Not the app itself.
Reinstalled TB, flashed the Rom again, copied the Folder again on the sd-Card. Nothing.
Any One an idea?
Thx
Hi to all. Recently I upgraded from cm 10.1.3 to mokee 4.4.2. However, I had to revert to cm 10.1.3 because of an app issue. Now, I'm ready to try the official nightlies of cm 11, but when I install TB and go to the backup folder on my ext SD card, it doesn't recognise them when trying to use the batch restore. However it DOES recognise them when selecting the backup folder, but nothing works. Also, these backups worked on the previous install of mokee 4.4.2 release version, so any thing I can do?
Anyone? Please help, I really enjoyed KitKat, but don't want to lose my apps

Restoring across different ROMs isn't recommended, but you can try it.
Did you enable in TB meta-data (for restoring across uncompatible ROMs)?
You could that way at least ceirtanly restore data only for some apps (like your levels in Angry Birds)
Try to backup the APKS of your device, and backup the folder Android/data on your sdcard. So when you want to restore it just install it as an usual aplication and copy the data folder, so you won´t lose your game progress.
I got my backups working. Thanks guys!
Okay wow, I'm very confused and have been Googling/reading the forums for hours now. I'm a complete noob and here's exactly what I did.
Currently have CWM touch v6 and Cyanogenmod 11
1. I have been running everything for a month with no problems at all.
2. I made a backup of my stock rom before I switched to Cyanogenmod 11, and I've also tested going into it and back to 11 in the past.. I know it works!
3. Today I decided I wanted to go into the the stock rom again and view some old text from my gf.
4. Before going back to my old stock backup, I decided to make a current backup of my Cyanogenmod 11
5. I also decided to make sure that one worked, so I made another backup of my current 11
6. Upon trying to access the backup I ran into a md5 hash error and noticed it wasn't creating a nandroid file for the cyanogenmod backups like it did for the old stock rom backup.
7. I went in and created a new file blank file "nandroid.md5" for both the Cyanogen backups I created.
8. Upon trying to restore again, I now received, "error while restoring /data!"
9. I was able to access the rom, however it only seemed to have loaded a partial amount of my /data ...I even I had to go back through the cyanogenmod prompts as if I freshly installed the rom, but my text messages/apps were all there.
10. I then attempted to wipe everything (using the wipe settings cache/dal/etc in CWM) and install the stock rom (since I know it works). Again I received the, "error while restoring /data!". But, again the same story, it loaded the stock rom, but with partial data and as if I freshly installed it.
11. I found online the problem could be due to the partition size not being able to handle the backup size (and my backups are over 600mb)..I deleted the stock rom (taking up 1gb) and again tried to install my Cyanogenmod 11 backup, to again be greeted with, "error while restoring /data!"
QUESTION 1:. I've read that using the Titanium app or nandroid manager can help alleviate the issue by restoring items, but how can I solve this annoying "error while restoring /data!" error?
QUESTION 2: I have the entire backup folder pulled from adb on my desktop, would it be advisable to use the format /Data and /Data/Media option on CWM and then push the Cyanogenmod 11 backup back into my phone and then try restoring? I've also read someone was able to factory restore their phone from settings, then try restoring the rom.. is this advisable?
Thanks in advance for the help, I have a headache
I have Online Nandroid Backup and TWRP 2.8.0.0 installed on my OnePlus One (CM 11S 25R). The phone is encrypted, and I have made daily nandroid backups. Now I need to do a full restore from one of those backups, but when I boot into recovery, TWRP doesn't find the backups and doesn't recognize internal storage (it says 0 MB). So it seems TWRP can't recognize my encrypted partitions. How can I restore my full nandroid backup?
Do I need to do it from a computer somehow? Do I need to wipe something first?
I am a newbie.
Thanks
I flashed and am running KatKiss 6.0. I made a backup of my stock ROM before flashing. Yesterday Facebook lost all may data to a Facebook linked game. What I'd like to do is restore the stock ROM and Titanium Backup the game data then hopefully restore my KatKiss backup and restore that data. Will this work? The reason I'm asking is when flashing KatKiss 6.0 it has you change the /data to F2FS format.
Thanks!!!
