I recently added a data plan on my SGS4G and can't get a data connection. I asked about this in another Q thread

but so far nothing has worked. I suspect that ultimately I will need to revert to out of the box virgin state to verify if its a software or hardware problem. However, after that test I want to be able to go back to my current state.
I've done both a CWM backup and a Titanium backup.
What are the steps I need to go back to vanilla state and then to the backed up state? Do I need both types of backups?
Well if you did a nandroid backup from CWM, everything is backed up, meaning your rom, modem, and all important files for your phone to operate. Titanium backup backs up all of your apps plus data for those apps, letting you restore them after a reset or a rom flash. Those two backups should cover your current phone state, nandroid restoring phone sensitive files and titanium restoring apps and user data. Be careful when restoring of different firmwares and such, that could cause a brick.
And to "reset" your device you can factory reset in CWM or in settings.
I'm not responsible for anything that happens, just providing some info.

I've recently wiped my phone and am trying to restore my files. Since the backup isn't compatible i went back to my old rom. However, when i restored, a few apps were missing. I was using Sony's backup and its like they did not recognise my app. What can i do to restore it?
Hi,
Can you tell us more,please
We need to know which device ? rooted or not ? More infos.
Thanks in advance
any problems with this? a guy is trying to fix his phone (exact model) and believes a stock wiped backup will help...basically can he even use my backup with his, or is my backup somehow linked to my phone?
It should work if it is the same model as they have the same system.
I've got back to stock-rom with my XT1068, and it took me a lot of time to configere my Phone and apps to my desired settings. After this I've made an backup using TWRP. I've choosen to let TWRP compress this backup to save some storage space, and it was completed without anny errors. So I guess the backup is valid...
Now I wanted to go back to my clean configuration. So I've wiped my Phone using also TWRP, and tried to restore the backup after this. But I'm stuck at this point unfortunately.
It fails somehow. It seems that I can restore all the selectable options, except the data part. When restarting the Phone, it starts a new configuration (like starting the Phone from scratch and for the first time). But without anny personal settings or installed apps. When I've trie to restore data after this, it still fails.
After trying a lot of diffrent things, I only once manged to get a restore from the backup, so I guess this backup is not corrupted.
Someone maybe knows how to solve this? Manny thanks in advance!
