Online nandroid backup or obackup nandroid? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for an application that can make my nandroid backup without having to go into recovery. But I am not sure if the backups that are created with the apps in this thread title are compatible with clockwork mod.
So, my question is:
Can clockwork mod recovery read the nandroid backup made by those online apps (Online nandroid backup pro or obackup nandroid)?
Thanks

Most likely not. Make one and try it before you rely on it

i guess nandroid backup made by a tool must be restored by the same tool.
note that when backuping with cwm a md5 file is created, and when restoring, md5 of the backup must match

Why do you want to take a backup without going into recovery if you don't mind me asking?

good suggestion. but i have not done it and probably will not try it considering that i should use the same tool for making and reading backups like samersh72 suggested.

no worries. i am glad you asked since i can be doing something i am not supposed to do (I am new to all this stuff).
the answer to your question is that i stumbled upon the possibility of doing the nandroid backups without having to go into recovery mode. plus the convenience of uploading such backups to the cloud and doing them automatically/periodically. both Online nandroid backup or obackup nandroid would help me with those features but then i thought "what if the clockwork mod recovery does not read those files?" that is why i made this topic.
is making an online nandroid backup bad? if it is better to make it inside the recovery fine by me. it does not take that much time either. i guess i just have to get used to make them and not forget.
anyway, looks that those online backups are not usable when in clockwork mod so i will not use those apps.
in the mean time, i have been looking in the rom manager premium app. it is made by clockworkmod.. can that application be used for online nandroid backups? maybe these are the same as those made inside the recovery? if so, i could use this application for the nandroid backups.
regards and happy new year!

You can try to make backups both ways and then ţry to restore the 3 rd party backup with CWM. If failed, you will have the proper CWM backup to restore as well. By the way, original backups are accessible to your device as files and you can simply sync that folder to the prefered cloud service - dropbox, box, drive, etc.

That's what I do; every night, automatic backups are made by Rom Toolbox and automatically uploaded to Dropbox by Foldersync.

Well, I have been using RT for years, and have restored plenty of nandroids in the past on other phones/ROMS with it. It always worked great.

Do you mind explaining how you do it? I already have Tasker and also have Rom Manager Premium. Need to get Foldersync

The method I use will only work with a CWM based recovery. I find Philz best. This is because I am using extended commands, which are proprietary to CWM.
I wont go into detail on the foldersync part. All I will say is you set up a folder pair between your sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder and your backup location, which could be a NAS, Computer thats always on or a Cloud location. I set mine to delete the backup from local storage before it takes a new backup and also afterwards. I also set within foldersync that they only run on wifi.
I have the 3 following profiles:
1.Nandroid Copy Pre
2.Nandroid Backup
3.Nandroid Copy Post
Pre and Post are identical in that they run the foldersync task. The only difference is the time they run.
I run the 3 profiles at these times on a Saturday:
1. 02:00 - 04:00
2. 04:00
3: 05:00 - 06:00
So basically, that is foldersync to NAS (deleting backup), taking backup, foldersync to NAS (deleting backup). I do this as I am tight on space. On my S3, I used to keep 2 backups locally, deleting the oldest before taking the next one.
So you're probably wondering what happens in the task for profile 2. Both actions are created using the Script > Run shell
Code:
1. sh /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/nandroid.sh
2. reboot recovery
1. calls a script called nandroid.sh as you can see. The contents are below:
Code:
# Set date and time
now=$(date +"%d_%m_%y-%H%M")
# Writes command for cwm based recovery to read
echo 'backup_rom("/data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/'$now'");' > /cache/recovery/extendedcommand
That's it in a nutshell.
If you wanted to, you could run the task 1 before which does a delete of the backup and the sync after (its 2 for redundancy) to just sync without delete, always keeping 1 backup on your device.

easy? we surely have different levels of knowledge for sure. but i gladly take your help if you are willing to use the time for it.
lets see if i can sum my difficulties first.
- in your post you mention Philz recovery. so i googled it. i am not sure but is this the "upgrade" for rom manager premium where you can use touch? if so, i do not mind buying that upgrade (because i do not have the touch upgrade, only bought the premium rom manager app).
- i still do not have foldersync but that is probably very easy to configure so only thing left for me is to buy the app. no problems here.
- tasker profiles. never used tasker but already bought it because of its functionality. i tried to make a custom profile on my own and it did not work. been reading help so i can figure out the app and how to program it. it might take a while though
i believe thats it. like you see, i still have a long road ahead of me. if you have patience and want to provide help i will surely be thankful. besides, i am sure a lot of other people out there will find this topic helpful so you will not only be helping me
regards

Its not as long as you think
Philz touch is a cwm based recovery. Its like cwm but much more. Its free and can be found in our nexus 5 "android development" forum here. Should be easy to spot. Thread is posted by me It will still work with rom manager although i prefer to not have rom manager.
Foldersync has a free version too by the way
But let's break it into byte size chunks. Firstly decide if you're willing to flash philz recovery via fastboot or not. You don't have to. Cwm is fine for now.
Next step will be to create profile 2 and task. Let me know when you're ready for that. I can't promise you quick responses but i'll walk you through it.

Hello. I have subscribed your thread about philz recovery. I am thinking of installing the zip file from clockwork mod recovery. Do you think it will be OK doing that way?
Why do you think it is better to not have rom manager?
Do not worry about "quick answers" , that way you give me time to read and learn. Going to read your thread on recovery, might learn something there
Regards.

Yep, that way is fine to flash
Personally I feel that apps and tool kits that do things like flashing are detrimental to the user experience. Doing things manually is the best way to learn, ergo the best bet in case you ever need to get yourself out of trouble. The manual steps are good to know so it's always best to be familiar with adb, fastboot and recovery yourself, instead of having apps and kits that manage these crucial steps for you.

[Q] CWM,Vegan,etc What order do I do these things?

(I've spent a long time reading and I don't want to waste your time, so if the answers to this have been posted before please just tell me to keep searching.)
New G tablet arrives in 3 days. I have very little tech knowledge, but I enjoy the journey. Would someone mind please putting the following in the CORRECT order for me?
1. Fully charge G tab and turn it on
2. Install Titanium Backup on G tab (is this done like I would install an app on an iphone, or do I download to my PC and move it to the g tab?)
3. Backup stuff (everything)? To where? My PC?
4. Install clockwork as per instructions here (I think I'll use G tab's internal SD card)
5. Use clockwork to repartition internal SD card (2048 and 0)
6. Use clockwork to delete data and cache
7. Install Vegan 5.1 as per instructions here.
8. Install Flah and Market capability as per instructions here.
9. Install ADW launcher (not sure what this is, but it looks good on youtube). How do I install it? Is it like an iphone app installation, or...?
10. Some of the posts I've read mention a need for a file browser. Do they mean on my PC, or on the G tab? How do you get one on the G tab? Through Market?
11. Calibrate touch screen as per instructions here.
12. Anything I've forgotten?
Thanks for your help and understanding for a complete novice.
This has all been posted before as you thought.
I would not worry about backing up when you first get it as there will be nothing really on it but the stock rom.
if you goal is to load a Rom like TNT or Vegan from day one.
Root
Clockwork Mod
load Rom
and away you go.
There are directions all over the place to the above.
Once you get the rom loaded and all setup then get titanium backup installed and do a backup. Save yourself hours and pay for the pro version, it will allow you to run batch backup/restores and not touch your tablet while it runs.
Hope that helps now go read and search while you await your Gtab and have FUN! that is what it is all about.
Chances are you wont even have to root first.

This is my first Android device but I'm good with PC's.
Anyway, I fired it up from new installed clockwork, did the partition 2048,0 as suggested and for me installed tnt-lite and all is good. It was probably stock for about 10 minutes of its life.
Thanks Stuggy. That's what I'll try (except with Vegan, I think).

For some reason I had to root first when I installed the update after the 3389 update. I think it was just me but it was just another step. Installed z4root, got root, and moved on
Thanks badfrog.
Just to give you an idea where I'm at.....I had no idea what 3389 is so I searched for it. Many pages came up, but they all assume a certain level of background knowledge that I don't have. Please tell me, is 3389 the ROM that comes with the G tab?
If so, why would you be updating that if you had a different ROM already installed (Vegan, TNTlite, etc)?
Other pages I've seen have said that installing Vegan or TnTlite IS rooting, whilst still other pages have said that installing clockwork mod is rooting? Is this correct?
I can't find out what rooting actually means because every page I find assumes the reader already knows what rooting is. I will keep searching for a site for android dummies (and stop wasting your time).
rooting a device is basically changing system permissions so that you have full access to read, write and manipulate all files on the device. In Linux if you are root you have total control over the system. I believe that I read somewhere that the GTab is already set so that you have total control. Other devices you would use an app like z4root and it would change the security settings so that you had root access.
hmmm....the plot thickens. Thanks Sm0k3d 0ut, I'm looking forward to confirmation of that to clear up my confusion!

Try them both, they are both great roms and you will become more comfortable the more roms you flash.
Most important tools are this site and titanium backup "PRO"

Thanks copc. I also read somewhere that backing up can be done with Clockwork. Is that true? If so, does a novice like me really need titanium backup?
Also, one more question: in case I ever want to restore to the stock ROM that the G tab comes with, do I need to do anything special BEFORE I install Clockwork and the new ROM? Or can I just change back to original no matter what I do now?
(G tab arrives tomorrow. Can't wait!)

I still haven't received my Zpad yet, so can't talk from experience. But from what I have read it seems that titanium backup backs up the apps (and maybe data?) and clockwork makes a ROM image of you Tablet (or something similar to that). So I think they are different types of backups and you should probably do both.
But I could be horribly wrong.

You are spot on, Titanium Backup allows you to back up and restore individual apps and data (you can also use it to sideload apps you have already installed on another Android device). CW will make a backup of your entire system (internal SDCard) so you can restore if something goes awry.

1,4,5,7,8, and 11 in that order will get you in business. Titanium Backup should be installed after you get Vegan installed, as there is really nothing to back up in stock. Data and cache will be deleted as part of the partitioning process (that's how I've understood it), and a file browser is already installed with the Vegan image. #9 is just fluff, ADW is a great launcher, but is not necessary to get up and running. If I recall correctly, it will install like an app - you should be able to find it in the Market.
#12 - Though it is not necessary, Root Explorer is a real handy app to have if you are going to tear around with Android's inner workings. Less than $5 on the market, but I found it worth every penny so far.
You will find many different thoughts on the process laid out above, this is just worked for me when I was starting out. The most important thing is Clockwork. Do. That. First.

I did mine (CW .8 and TNTLite) from a 256MB card, and there was still plenty of room - a 128MB card should do you fine. In fact, if you are doing it from a PC (I can't confirm for Mac as I don't have one), you can install CW off of the card, use CW to partition the tablet storage, connect the tablet to your PC, and then use CW to mount the tablet as USB storage so you can copy over the ROM image to the tablet and install.
As far as CW, use the .8 version. I have heard of problems from others using newer versions, and it seems that .8 is what the devs recommend. You can find a link to it in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245

Thanks for doing this guys. I was thinking I would have to create an insecure kernel for the stock ROM in order to get root. You saved me a lot of time & energy. Expect a donation coming from my way.

Would you be willing to pull an image of the stock boot partition (dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7) and PM me a link?
Also: check the OP, I've added some info on how to get tethering (after rooting) without the need for a dedicated ATT tethering plan.

I would if I had any experience. My plan to insecure the kernel would have been my 1st time getting my feet wet with such a thing.

Thanks, I did but I don't find Tethering Manager. I did find Tethering Provision. Is that the same?

Provision is a separate app. When I'm back by my laptop in the morning I'll double check the paths and report back. I froze mine using Ultimate Backup or Titanium Backup. I forget offhand.

boot partition image
I tried to provide the link to both tarball & zipped files of my boot partition image, but I haven't done 10 posts yet, so xda has restricted me. Let see if a little disguise will work:

So what fun stuff can you do with this file & how would my image be any different then yours? Or is it another issue, like uploading being restricted because you're a developer?
Also, I'm interested in learning the process of how you created/edited the files , in order to root the Rugby Pro. I'm sure your busy, so pointing me toward a tutorial would be great.

Looks like TetheringProvision.apk is the one to freeze (do not delete unless you have a backup). If you try this let me know.

I plan on using a stock boot image so I can put together an ODIN image that will flash the phone back to a stock state. If you root your phone or have a custom recovery / system / boot OTA updates will generally fail to apply. The best way to get an OTA update applied is to rollback to stock and install the OTA.

The boot partition should be the same across devices unless you make modifications.
I had to blindly update the boot partition on my device to get root, so I do not have an un-changed copy of it. In order to get an OTA update applied and to work with some Cyanogen / Clockwork Recovery stuff I will need a clean boot partition image.

I worked with a few people to get help putting together an ODIN image that allowed me to get custom recovery and the clockwork recovery update.zip. There is no general guide on the steps necessary.
If you are interested in diving into the custom rom / recovery stuff I will be doing some work with improving clockwork recovery for the Ruby Pro (commanche) and hopefully working on a Cyanogenmod 10 (JellyBean) port in the future. I am working on some items for the Rugby Smart (apache) at present, as soon as that stuff is taken care of I'll be focusing more on the Rugby Pro (commanche). If you are interested in taking a shot at updating the clockwork recovery for the commanche let me know and I can maybe point you in a few directions to get you going.

You probably know this, but here's where I downloaded Samsung's ROM (disguised again, & I'm pretty sure the new "c" version is for Canada) Just search for sgh-i547:

I am interested. Realize I have miniscule programming skills (http, xml & Google {now MIT} App Inventor).
Also, I did freeze TetheringProvision, but I rarely tether. Usually I only need to when it's raining & my home DSL slows too much. I'll let you know if I have any problems when I do finally try it.

I pulled that package as well. Unfortunately it is only the GPL components they are required to release, not the full ROM sources. It does contain the kernel sources which will be very helpful down the line.

There is a lot of testing work and guess/check for the ROM building stuff. I was thinking of setting up an IRC channel on FreeNode for discussing work on the device. Would you be interested / willing to move some of the interactive discussion over there once I have a channel setup?

Keep me in the loop. I tend to only tether for the purpose of my tablet when I'm not near a WiFi AP. I wanted to point it out just in case, better to have it working before it's necessary.
Let me know if you want a modded stock kernel . I'l be willing to help, even though I don't have the device on-hand.
IRC channel on FreeNode is setup: #rugby-pro-dev for those that are interested.

I think we should be covered at the moment. The first priority will likely be getting a recovery nailed down and 100% before working on a customized kernel. I'm hoping to get recovery nailed sooner than later so we can do things like nandroid and similar before starting in on CM10 or another ROM.
I am also working on the Rugby Smart (apache) CM9/3.0 Kernel/CM10 stuff as well so my time with the Pro is limited at the moment. Hopefully the Smart stuff moves quickly so I can loop back around to the Pro quickly.

Ah, learn something new every day.

Sure, I already monitor #opennic on freenode, so I can just open another channel.

Odd, I'll have to double check my device again. Do you have a backup of the apk, or do you need a copy of it to restore?

ETA, help, donation etc
I'm very interested in buying the Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro for AT&T. However, there is no Cyanogenmod port for it yet. I really only want to have a phone if it can run a free ROM.
@kemonine96 et.al.:
When do you think a beta CM port will be ready?
I have not done any Android development and very little administration, but I am a seasoned Linux software engineer. Is there any way I can help with porting CM to this phone?
Finally, would a donation (kemonine96 has a paypal donations link) speed up the process? I can't afford to pay hundreds of dollars, but I could do something like 50....

You are not alone in that sentiment. I won't run a device I know won't receive a CyanogenMod port. The good news is as long as there is root, CyanogenMod can be made to work.

"Soon". Myself and a couple others are working on a set of changes for the Rugby Smart (predecessor to the Pro) and once they are further along I will be looking into starting the CyanogenMod port for the Pro.

Most definitely, there are a few things that would help out a CyanogenMod port significantly. If you contact me via IRC (see OP) or via PM we can discuss some of the options and take it from there. Please note I leave my IRC connection active 24x7 so I may not respond right away.

As much as I may appreciate a donation, please hold off as I cannot commit to working on CyanogenMod for the Pro in a paid capacity I am comfortable with. I am working 50-60 hour work weeks at my day job so my free time is severely limited. I have every intention on bringing CyanogenMod to the Pro but it is a free time problem more than anything else.

[Q] How to create a backup of the entire phone to restore it later?

Hi, I currently have my nexus 5 in 4.4.4, and I'd like to try Android L, but I want to know if there's a way to create a full backup of my phone, like an image, so I can go back to 4.4.4 with everything as I left it, including apps, contacts, images, and all that, my phone is rooted, so I guess there's a a way, but, would it be possible to restore it if I'm already in Android L? thanks!

Your best bet would be to take a nandroid backup (which will go to sdcard) then connect in recovery and adb pull the entire /sdcard (which is /data/media/0) to your pc. Then whne you want to go back, adb push it back.
Click the link in my signature. In there you'll find a thread about adb and fastboot if you're unsure about adb push and pull commands.

The good thing about adb is you can push and pull files to your device, even if you cant get into Android.

Bt i suggested an easy way.. & with the help of some apps like titanium backup or my backup he can restore all things..
kanhaiya
Another way you can do is install Gdrivesync and sync your /sdcard partition to your Google Drive account. It won't replace the files on the phone but this will enable you to be able to recover lost downloads. You can set it up to have it automatically sync every x hours and it's nice too because if you accidently want to install the latest update but it wipes your whole phone including any backups, at least you can get your data again and just have to set up your apps.

Hey, I was doing some research, but all the tutorials that I find talks about GooManager, CWM or TWRP. I thought there was a way to create the nandroid backup manually, if not, which of these would you recommend? after that I would pull the entire sdcard I guess right? thanks!

The only thing that has worked consistently for me is to grab what you want off the /sdcard and copy it to a pc. Then a nandroid of the rest of the phone. I've had mixed results with adb backup and backup apps.

Where to locate Flashify backup Files ?

I installed Flashify on Meizu M2 Note . It's rooted with kingroot and I managed to take backup of Stock Recovery and Stock Kernel with flashify . I saved those in my phone's internal memory . But Unfortunately I can not find those any where in file managers ?
Where to locate Flashify backup Files ?
Are those Rec. and Kern. files flashable with other apps ( like my favourite - TWRP ) ?
Anyone with kind suggestion will be highly appreciated .
Thank you .
I really need those two files before flashing ported rom in my Meizu M2 Note .

Lol, well, you aren't getting replies because the answer is so simple.
Anytime you install an app yourself, it is installed as a user app. All user apps either create their own folder in the user partition to save data in(user partition is the partition that your download folder, Bluetooth folder, DCIM folder, etc.. are located), or they store their data in your Android/data/(name of the app in question) folder or one of its subfolders.
In your case its in Android/data/Flashify/files/backup/boot/(name of your boot backup)
and in Android/data/Flashify/files/backup/recovery/(name of your recovery backup)
They are restored using Flashify, not TWRP. The backups that Flashify create are a waste of time anyway, if you want to create and restore backups then use TWRP to create them and restore them, not Flashify, Flashify's only function that is worth using is its ability to flash custom Recovery .imgs.
A Google search for that question would have easily answered the question. The fact that you came here to ask means you didn't even attempt a search before asking because if you had then you would have found the answer very easily, questions that can easily be answered with a google search as the kinds of questions that get ignored.
Next time you ask a question and you don't get any answers, it should be your first clue that you can find the answer yourself very easily with a Google search.
The XDA forum rules state that members are supposed to search then search some more before they post their question, this keeps excessive and unnecessary posts to a minimum. You obviously didn't search first, that is very discouraged in this community.

Backup problems and questions

Hi, first of all, thank you for reading me.
I think i messed up big time.
I had Havoc OS 4.1 installed since more than a year and it was kinda messy e.g. the sim card card wasnt recognized anymore so wasnt able to make calls because i played to much in the settings.
Having some stupid but incredibly addictive games on this smartphone i decided to keep it like this and since i'm a complete n00bs and being afraid of security risk of rooting my device i never rooted it.
Big mistake.
So, recently, one games needed an update (like they all do at least once a week) and since i'm anti-google/f***book (no comment please) i nvever saved my progress in the cloud and "that" game required absolutely an update.
I installed the update from an alternative apk source and , (applause if you want and laugh), it screwed up the game.
Now the nightmare begin.
Since the device isnt rooted i made a backup of /data partition. Gone crazy and before i might explode in an uncontrollable fury and madness i used LMSA to rescue the phone. And myself, lol.
Now i have stock android and i am googled to the bone. My butt hurts. My head too.
THE (first) simple question is : how can i restore this backup because i have the error 255?
Notes and observations; logically i would say because the device is back with stock rom and doesnt have the same os/rom installed and/or the partition and whatever is not the same wich may explain the error 255.
SECOND QUESTION: can i extract/uncompress this backup and take the precious data wich is my games progresses and restore it somehow?
I know i have to give as much information possible but i dont what else to give. If you need logs, or everything else just say it nicely and i will give it to you with immense pleasure.
Oh yeah, model : XT2113-2 5g Kiev RETCA 128gb a/b type and maybe was crypted before because twrp asked me the password to make backup or else.
Thank you in advance and i really hope somebody would help, if not i just loosed 1.5 years of stupid gaming because i messed up like an idiot. (A lesson well learned, the hard way...)
Thank you so much for not answering this simple question.

The problem is it's a Motorola with a Qualcomm chip.

These precious brief and concise 2 lines of a simple answer is immensely welcomed.
Wich point me to reply that to my knowledge i interpret it as a security chip with big chances that its in relation to the knox technology.
It also point me to ask WHY, if i cant back up because of that, why/how is it possible to install a custom rom or gsi (sorry i still dont make the difference because i dont understand it) on this very protected smartphone?
That must explain why i had problems trying to root it and fail each time.
Finally i think that i should use another device for android gaming since i dont want to depend on f***book and google.
Thanks again sd_shadow. Even if it was a very simple answer it enlightens me alot.
Note: sorry for my bad english.

This error code means that at some point your backup of /data could not be extracted further. But for more detailed infos you must provide a recovery.log which will be generated when doing a backup of e.g. /boot.
>>> Please DO NOT copy+paste it here!! <<<​Rename it (recovery.log > recovery.log.txt) to be able to upload it within "Attach files".

Yes, use Titanium Backup (TB). Although it's very outdated it still features a restore of single apps out of a TWRP backup. Here's how you do it:
1. IMPORTANT: TB will only search for TWRP backup files on internal storage!! Use the default path created by TWRP, e.g.: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/ZY322V8K28/2023-04-08--06-53-20/
2. Install and open Titanium Backup.
3. In the upper right corner tap
MENU > scroll down to "Extract from Nandroid backup" > choose your backup folder
##############
Notes:
- Usually a TWRP backup of /data consists of several parts (data.ext4.win000, ~win001, ~win002 etc). TB requires all of them (or at least those ones with the /data/data/ path inside).
- If you are facing this error message:
Could not find any data in this TWRP backup
then your TWRP backup is compressed with gzip. To decompress it you must rename the file
data.ext4.win001 > data.ext4.win001.gz
and extract it with any archiver tool, e.g.:
- ZArchiver (Android)
- 7zip (Windows)
- Problems finding any TWRP backup data with Titanium Backup? Then please check your path!! (see above section)
Good luck!!
Thank you very much WoKoschekk i'll do it as soon i'll have the time for since i'm working today.
Thank you so much again, i'll keep you posted with logs and such.
I'm sorry i didnt gave news since, i'm not doing very well.
there's those 2 question i still have in my head;
1-With all the instructions you gave me is it worthy to continue because when i did the backup i wasnt rooted?
2- i'm sure i read many time to use Titanium Backup (wich is a paid app?) i have to be rooted or have root access.
Ultimately, how can i be rooted if there's a chip preventing me to do so?
I'll keep you posted when i'll be of better health, thank you.

TWRP backup = *.tar archive
TB unpacks the needed app's data and nothing else. You must be rooted to have access on /data for restoring your apps. But for the backup process it doesn't matter if you were rooted. Root is part of your boot.img.

TB is for free. But a paid version unlocks additional features (not related to the TWRP restoring feature).
And yes... root is mandatory for TB. As I said before you must have r/w access on /data/*.

Which chip?? You already have root access via TWRP. Magisk is only needed in system and just a patched boot.img (custom kernel).
Get well soon!
WoKoschekk thank you for this insanely fast reply.
All those answers and infos have now a gigantic value for me, if only i knew that before.
To describe a bit more my situation i slept only few hours since 5 days, vomiting, heavy coughs and fever.
I'm sure i'm not supposed to but i will anyway, i engage myself and promise to reward you (in particular) and others for the help you're bringing me. It wont be much but very important to me.
I'll go try to get (again) some rest. Just before i go, why was there a mention about my device;
"
The problem is it's a Motorola with a Qualcomm chip.
If you find a solution I would love to see it.
"
I dont ask you (WoKoschekk) or other to explain in the most explicit and endless details of what is exactly this "chip" and all the history that goes with it cause i dont want to be a pain but just why it was mentionned. Only, why?, it has ben mentionned.
I cant wait to get better since i finally see possibilities to get back those files.
Have a nice week-end and thanks again.
@Kerplunk83 To reveal the mystery behind "the chip": Motorola released two variants (Snapdragon/Mediatek CPU) of this model. Since the CPU largely determines the system structure, building a functional TWRP for both of them is very challenging. It seems that TWRP for the SD's variant got some bugs while the MT's variant runs more smooth. Due to this fact the error 255 is caused by something that you weren't be able to fix.
Regarding your problem: To restore an app and its specific app data you need the proper permissions to write in /data/data and /data/app. For this permissions you either need TWRP or Magisk installed. TWRP seems to be unable to write in that specific directory. On the other hand you don't want to install Magisk. I'm sorry but with this setup your problem can't be fixed.
Just out of curiosity, could you provide me a recovery.log showing error 255 during the restore process?
Please DO NOT copy/paste the whole log and post it here!! Instead of this you should rename the file (recovery.log => recovery.txt) because a file called *.log isn't allowed for upload. But a *.txt file is.
Options to create a recovery.log:
1. adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
=> copies a recovery.log into your ADB/fastboot folder
2. Do a backup of sth. like "boot" because the backup process will create a recovery.log by default
3. TWRP mainscreen > advanced > create log (kernel log isn't needed here)
=> log is stored on the default storage (internal or external) that you have choosen for backups etc.
