Greetings!
I have my unlocked, rooted Nexus 5 that's on 4.4.3. I had to flash the original stock on since the OTA failed and then flash the factory 4.4.3 build. That's all fine!
I backed up a few days prior to this. Now I was dummy and didn't export a file out of this fuel log app. Two years worth of data in it.
I used WugFresh's Nexus Root Tool Kit and the Nandroid back included with it.
If I could recover just that app and hopefully the data that comes with it that'd be awesome! I just don't know how to go after just one app! YouTube has been rather useless cause everybody show you how to totally backup and/or restore!
Hey, if it can't be done I'm not going to cry over it.
Hope you can help! Thanks much in advance!

Try nandroid manager from the playstore

Cool! Hope the free version will let me do this since I just bought Titanium yesterday.

I'll have to dive into it! I really hadn't had a chance to sit down with it and see the options! That just made my life a tad bit easier!

Hello,
I was just curious, if I do a nandroid backup of my phone before I load a rom, could I then restore from that backup later if I was unhappy with the rom? These roms look so tempting, but I need my phone for business stuff as well, so im tentative to not be able to go back to the (mostly) functioning stock image.
Thanks,
Andy

Thanks for the clarification, I figured that it would, I just wasn't positive on it.
I think I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day
Hey everyone, I hate to be the noob but I recently backed up using titanium backup, flash a rom, didn't like it, flashed back and went to restore using titanium backup and everything went fine apart from the fact that recent messages are missing and they are very important to me, can anyone help me recover them? Thanks in advance.

TB pro? Or free version?
When u open TB does it show that there us a backup for messages on the date u backed it up?
Also if u are gonna be a flasher, may I suggest using Google voice so that no matter what u have a backup to a backup
Good luck

Yeah, the backup is from the 30 th but no messages since the 14 th are showing up? And there's no voice in my country so that is a no. Any idea why they're no showing up.?
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
Oh wait, phone / messaging storage is only at the 15 th, why? I backed up on the 30th? Is there any way to get my messages back? They are very important to me.

Probably not unless u had them backup'd within a ROM backup.

For future reference...always make a nandroid backup in recovery before wiping and flashing a new ROM. That way if you don't like the new ROM you just restore the nandroid. That's the only 100% way to not lose anything.
Is it possible to restore a nandroid backup from another device if it's the same model.
Ie backup my nexus 5 in twrp copy it to my friends nexus 5 storage and restore it twrp?
Cheers
I've done it before with other devices. Worked fine

TWRP now gives the option to include the EFS partition in the nandroid backups....Make sure you do not restore an EFS partition from one device onto the other.

So which is it lol?
what if i just backup and restore the /data partition? that's guaranteed to work or is it better to restore /system with it also?
I've done this switching between mytouch4g, captivates, and gs2s. No problems at all...

OK, great...I hope you don't think I was being patronizing... My intent was more of a friendly FYI and I hope that's how it was received by you
Now that I have a little more time I can say that if it were your own phone you were doing this on, I'd say go ahead and try it. There are many threads here in the various nexus forums where people have said they've done it without any problem with their own devices (after a RMA for example).
If it doesn't work and causes problems you can always restore the factory images if need be.
However, since it's a friend's phone you want to restore the nandroid on to it's a little different.
Are you trying to just get the same apps and app data installed on your friends phone as you have on yours? Or is it something more than that?

Lol sorry didn't mean to sound like that, I sometimes forget that things like tone/facial expression etc are lost when writing. Good advice, appreciate your help!
It's a bit complicated but basically I'm buying the phone off him, so it's for my personal use so I have no problem troubleshooting if anything goes wrong.
I'll give or a shot then, thanks for all the answers
I used to use Orange Backup to make daily nandroid backups but once KitKat came out, it was no longer supported. Are there any alternatives now?
What's the problem using recovery exactly?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
it requires supervised time. with orange backup you can schedule it to run at a certain time every day. i set it up when i'm asleep.
In which case i'd recommend looking at "tasker" and this thread:

from what i just read about the orange backup app, it doesnt preform a nandroid backup, it just backups files that you choose.
Only a nandroid can backup your complete rom and restore it. As far as I know. ;l

That's the same alternative I moved to when OBackup development stopped. I support PhilipTD's recommendation. To compliment that backup solution I added FolderSync to automate coping the Nandroid backups to another device or a cloud service. To round out the device backup solution I also use Titanium Backup and FolderSync.

How long does Online Nandroid Backup take to do a regular noncompressed backup? Mine was on for over an hour so I stopped it. My nandroids in recovery usually only take about 5 min.
Some background:
Nexus 5
TWRP
Purity Rom
I currently am being prompted for an OTA that I have been told here will either fail completely or mess something up. So I would like to update my ROM (purity) from an older version to the newest version that is fully updated to 4.3.3.
BUT!
I have spent the last few hours trying to find out how to actually update to the newest update to the ROM without wiping the device(apps configuration, and settings). To be honest im only assuming its even possible.
Can some one please point me in the right direction or give me some more info on this.... Thanks a lot.
The help is appreciated I am new to this....
You can try and dirty flash the newer Tom. It might work and it might not. Make a nandroid first and backup with titanium backup too. Worst case is you have a lot of fc's
