I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I have just installed a firmware android version 4.2.2 and I haven't done any backup before doing this! Is there a way to retreive any data from the previous firmware, which was a cyanogen custom rom, such as pictures, messages, calendar stuff etc.? I had a backup of the custom rom on the sd card but when I installed the new firware I lost everything! I tried to install back the previous rom but it seems that the backup I had was erased! I wish to know if it is possible to retreive anything or no, and if yes how. Thanks

Hi
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy s2 GT-I9100, I have copied over to my phone the nessessary files to flash a custom Kitkat based rom (Rom, Kitkat compatible CWM and Gapps) my question is simple, is it possible to flash the rom etc without wiping the data and factory reset etc?
Cheers
yes, it is
Rom installed but a little niggle exists
Ok
I have used CyanogenMod's brilliant online utility to install the latest KitKat rom 4.4.4, all is fine except that I have some contact details missing. I backed everything up using Kies the night before I installed KitKat, but now Kies doesn't want to connect with my phone even though I have enabled USB Debugging.
Is there any other way I can retrieve the missing contacts?
Cheers
I usually wipe.

I usually wipe before installing any ROM but to be safe just go by the instructions for the ROM.
Please ask in your respective fourm

Hey, there is an update for the g920f galaxy s6 , it fixes the ram problem and I really want it, but my device is rooted, and it has a flashed theme, I want everything to stay this way but if I will flash from odin it will be as new.. Titanium backup will backup it to the phone but the rom flashing will delete the backup, also, titanium backup will keep the themes? App saves?everything?
I've accidentally erased the OS off of my Galaxy S5 while in TWRP, and was wondering how I would be able to install Lollipop back on it.
what is your model name?

You could
1) restore a backup if you ever made one:silly:
2) flash stock ROM (this will wipe your data though)
3)or if you're not that picky download a custom Rom(like cyanogen) of android 5 along with gapps and flash them in twrp (this will be choice if hadn't made any backup that I could restore)
Hi Guys,
I had a 6.0.1 MM custom ROM (found here in the ROM section) installed on my Galaxy S7 SM-930F last year. I made a TWRP backup prior to upgrading to Nougat however stupid me I have forgotten a folder to manually back up when I was on MM. I've tried to downgrade and restore using TWRP to no avail.. it would say the restore is complete and stay stuck on the Samsung logo. My nanadroid backup ends with G930FXXU1APGH so I searching the ROM section of XDA forum to see if I can go back to what I installed as it appears I have no record of the ROM I downloaded here so I can restore the backup successfully. The backup I am trying to restore is from TWRP 3.0.0 and I am now using a 3.1.1
My questions are:
1.) Do I need to be on the same exact build number of Marshmallow for the TWRP restore to work? (I've tried older/newer TWRP/different build # for Marshmallow)
2.) Is there a best way to find out which custom rom I installed last year (search function?)? All I know is that my backup ends with G930FXXU1APGH so that build # is the only lead I have to search through the forum
3.) Restoring the backup always leads to a stuck Samsung logo. I've tried different TWRP, rooted and gone to Nougat/MM and restoring from there, cleared data/factory settings/cache etc. Any other suggestions?
Thank you for your help.
