Hello, I was wondering if.. when installing Android HD 4.1.4 ( The one mike made ) from 4.1.3 if you lose your contacts, messages and all applications again?
Also the question if ( do I just need to copy that file on my SD card and press update in recovery or? )
I'm sorry if this sounds too noob'ish, but I do not have any experience with it apart from installing 4.1.3
Greetings,

Do a titanium back up and restore once flashed and should be OK.

Could you give me a link to this software?
get it from the market (but should already be in the HD ROM??)
Thanks! Will try tomorrow ASAP.
You will loose any information stored on the phone memory, so messages, contacts, apps etc.
+ Get titanium backup from the market and backup user apps ONLY.
+ Get mybackup from the market and backup mms, sms (i do call log and dictionary as well) If you sync your contacts to your google account then you dont need to back them up here otherwise you will get duplicates when restoring.
+ Download ARHD and put it on the root of your sd card.
+ Reboot into recovery and do a nandroid backup (backup and restore -> backup)
+ Then install from zip -> choose zip -> arhd zip
+ Once thats finished reboot.
Do the setup and then download titanium from the market again, restore all user apps. Then go into mybackup and restore whatever you backed up in there. Contacts should restore when you add your google account details or restore them from mybackup if you dont sync contacts with your google account.
Hope that helps

From 4.1.3 you can update without wipe/super wipe, so you won't loose anything. Its in the first post of mike's thread.
Althought, i would still have a backup in titanium and in cwm as well, just in case. Later you can delete/update them.
Nothing personal, but why do you use a test rom, if you dont even know how rom update works or how to do a nandroid backup? 3.6.2 is the stable version.
Is now possible to change the background? because in previous versions was only a square trimming :/

Go backup pro or superbackup ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5pZGVhLmJhY2t1cC5zbXNjb250YWN0cyJd ) You can backup apps & contacts & SMS & Call logs & Bookmarks & Calendars to the SD card/Gmail. You will never lose your data again!
app monster best,ever!!!

Guys you can use Go Backup Pro as well...it as one click feature to restore all apps.....i use it side by side with TB free version..
titanium backup....best tool for rooted devices...
and always keep a copy of rom in ur pc..!!
I am usingSamsung Galaxy Y pro Duos. GT 5512.
To install Whatsapp+ I had to uninstall whatsapp. I am not able to install Whatsapp+ (and Yes I am installing GB variant of Whatsapp+). It shows "Application not installed".
Now when I have installed original Whatsapp. I am asked to restore from the backup. When I tap on restore, it Crashes at 84% and shows a error. I don't want to lose the backup.
PS1: I have managed to solve the crashing problem' see the solution in the posts down.
PS2: I am still unable to get Whatsapp+ installed. It says "Application not Installed. Can anybody help in this regard?
It's advised to restore to the same backed-up version of Whatsapp

Try to uninstall Whatsapp & install once again, or if you prefer to check older versions: http://whatsapp-messenger.en.uptodown.com/android/old
It it doesn't help- leave only the latest backup file + 'msgstire.db.crypt' in the 'Database' folder of whatsapp. Other option is to check if you got
several whatsapp folders stored in device's external/internal storage, and leaving the newest one

Hi,
This issue is interesting and I have been looking for options, so you can solve your problem. If the problem is the version, as sasan_blue says, you can go to the Aptoide web, and search the old versions of whatsapp there. I was able of download different versions of whatsapp on my PC from that web.
I can't paste urls...
EDITED: Sorry, I was writing this thread while amirTor gives his answer. The English is not my language mother and take long to write. I think is best the amirTor solution.
Saludos
Thanks Guys. I got it solved by completely uninstalling whatsapp using Titanium backup app, and installing it again. It was a problem of incomplete uninstallation. (I had rebooted the device before the uninstall process finished). The problem persisted because I have been uninstalling using regular method. Also it was not a problem of a corrupted backup in my case( as I had thought).
PS. I had installed an older version too. It asked me to check my date settings. it didn't peroceed any further. I guess it was becoz of the outdated version.
HI, i have installed and rstored whatsapp a million times or so, when flashing and switching between roms. last night i tried something funny, and it cost me tooo much.
I tried to install whatsapp for another number(my phone is dual sim), while sms verification was happening, it got registered via my previously registered whatsapp no. Now even after i deleted the new no. account,i am still not able to get my old account back. when i give my old number, it doesn ask for sms verification, and goes to local backup directly, but fails there and throws error. on the other hand, i can verify the account, but cannot restore all my messages.
Please help, as my msgs are quite important..!
il hit the thanks button..!

You can solve this problem by registering your new number again and restoring your old number's chats.
Once you are able to restore your old number's chat by registering on the new number. You can now change the number officially by using the 'change number' feature in the WA settings.
See if this trick works for you.
Good luck.

Hey thanks for the response,
Things arent way the its supposed to...even if im trying to sign up using another account, still the verification is not being done and whern restoring is trying to happen, it force closes or shows a message that it cannot restore msgs in the server
if u know any solution please let me know, its pretty annoying without whatsapp for a week and i need those old messages..its pretty important.
I have done flashing roms a 100 times and never faced this issues, and now it aint going at all..
Ok. copy the backup database some where safe.
Delete your new number account ( from within the WA account settings)
Remove the WA using titanium backup. (you need to be rooted for TB to work)
Reinstall the WA.
See if you are able to register your new number.
Use WhatsApp recovery app to restore you account information, the tool is available free of cost.
If no chats are being restored while reinstalling Whatsapp and you want to restore from a local backup... Try to uninstall and reinstall Whatapp and simply take a local backup of the empty chats and copy the entire filename (Ex: msgstore.db.crypt12) and delete this backup file.. Now paste the backup file from where you want to restore the chats in the Whatsapp databases folder and rename it with the name that was copied from latest backup file (msgstore.db.crypt12).
Clear WhatsApp data (from Settings -> Apps-> WhatsApp-> Clear Data). When you launch Whatsapp now, it will prompt again for the verification details etc. Skip the google drive step and Whatsapp will restore all your chats from your desired local backup. But please make sure you have lot of free space on your device. I cleared about 3gb of data from device memory in order to get this working.
It worked for me when I finally was about to give up after trying for 3 days..

I have already Searched this but dint get satisfied answers....
I am Using Sense5 Rom(EXDERIOD) and installed about 30 apps and has System Data i.e contacts n msgs ,fnds stream and calendar sync..
Here is the Problem..Now it's not working properly(All my apps are force closing and Not letting me to install new apps Especially WATSPP IS FORCE CLOSING showing error "UNABLE TO OPEN MESSAGE HISTORY") after i tried some mods n flashed some extra stuff...
So I want to flash the SAME ROM again but without losing DATA sply System data... I know I can use Titanium for apps+data and MyBackUp Pro for CONTACTS & MSGS ...I used to do that whenever I Flash a New ROM ..
But Main Prob is ...CONTACTS (I Know GOOGLE give Backup but I linked all the contacts with fb and watsapp..and put images as caller IDs so if I get a Backup from GooGle or anyother app it gives only contacts and i have to linkup and do setup everything again)
I flashed only boot.img with fastboot lost all the data and also flashed ROM again giving bootloops and sometimes lost the data..
So any suggestions ??? or any Ideas???:silly:
