Unlocked bootloader, how to restore apps + data?

In TB, do I select restore all system data or missing apps + all system data?
Will restoring all system data screw with anything?

if you have made a cwm backup you can just restore after whatever it is that you have done that you dont like.

here's something i learned over the last 2 years:
if you want to be safe, DONT EVER RESTORE SYSTEM ANYTHING....
simple really. just restore missing apps+data and move on. set your system settings manually.

Well I need an unlocked bootloader before I can install CWM. Unlocking it wiped my phone so TB was the only option I had

i've never had any major issues restoring system data/apps when just wiping my rom and flashing the same thing back on (similar to what you have done), but i always recommend staying away from the system stuff in TiBu, to keep things sane

U should not have any issues restoring everything with Tb because your rom is the same as before

Starting Over after TWRP and Rooting

I installed TWRP, then rooted 10.4.2.18.
I need to start over as well, between the random app loading, gestures and stop, I think from scratch would be nice.
Can I do a factory data reset?
I have a backup from TWRP but I didn't label it very clearly and I'm not sure what it is.
It's unlocked and rooted - by doing the reset I'm assuming I'll loose it the root - am I correct?.

OK, so I asked what:
1. the wrong forum?
2. The wrong site?
3. Worded it wrong?
4. Too noob?
I could go on. Over a 100 people looked and NO-one can even point me to the right place if it's been answered before, or have an answer!?

You can try factory data reset from settings app if you like. It is a variable on what you will loose and gain. It is a good place to start. Don't do wipe from the bootloader menu or wipes formats from twrp.
Note: Some wipes and formats can be used in twrp in the case where you will flash a rom after, when flashing stock it seldom helps.
Note: Twrp allows you to choose the name for your backup
You can also flash any of the asus stock firmware but you will have stock recovery (instead of twrp), probably loose root, and all of your apps and data.
My choice for best asus stock firmware is 10.4.2.18. It is not best for everyone but I like it.
Good Luck!
Sorry I didn't notice your post. For everyone else I'm sure they didn't wish to deliver such iffy information.

For future reference, a factory reset will take your ROM back to the point of a fresh install. You will lose all data that has been added since first flashing your ROM. If you were running a custom rooted ROM then you will not lose root. If you go back and flash a non-rooted ROM then you WILL lose root.
If you have data that you need to keep, I recommend using an app like Titanium Backup. Go in and choose to do a batch backup up all your apps. Once you have done a factory reset, you can sign back into Google Play and download Titanium. You can then go in and restore the apps you want. I don't recommend installing all of those apps with their data. Titanium gives you multiple options on how and what you want to restore. Only install the individual app data that you must to have. Usually, I'll restore all of my apps with no data at all. I will then go back in and individually restore the app data that I need.
If changing a ROM, restoring app data for all of your apps can have adverse side effects. That is why I say to only install what you need. Hope this helps. :good:

the best way to start from scratch is do a factory reset then use fastboot to upgrade you're firmware

That's what I wanted to know - and do - but I wasn't sure what was replaced when I loaded twrp.

I did label them, I backed it up - I think - right after I installed twrp and rooted it, ( I usually do ) but I'm not 100% sure so I didn't want to try and screw it up.

I'm generally not too concerned about loosing stuff, as long as I know WHAT I lost, so I can replace.

Checked and that's what I'm on and so far happy with it.
I un-installed a ton of apps, while I was waiting for an answer, and the thing doesn't seem possessed any more, so I'm adding them back in one at a time giving each 2-3 days.

ABSOLUTELY no reason for an appology. I'd done a search and not come up with anything I could use, and couldn't believe no-one had done this before.

Everything sounds good.
I need to give you one piece of info.
The only thing flashing twrp replaces is stock recovery. Everything else remains the same.
Good Luck!

BUT when you do a data backup and reset, doesn't the system draw FROM the "stock" recovery?

If you are talking about backup with twrp, by default system, emmc, and data are backed up.
Reset erases user apps and data; all basic data would need to be entered as if you had just purchased the unit.

OH! I was under the impression that it read an image from to the boot parition/recovery partition and wrote that. NOW I get it.
THANK you.
Last question - If I do this (installed es file manager last night and the bloody thing wild), is root.signed.zip still good for rooting this? It's unlocked and 10.4.2.18.

I use es file manager for working with both sdcards. I have used it since I received this tablet and find it very useful. Maybe uninstall and reinstall. For a root browser I use rom toolbox pro.
I have not used root.signed.zip but downloading and looking at the installation I don't find a problem. I'd say try it.

Just saw your post - don't know where I went ...
I do not have a custom ROM, so what you are saying is no matter how I start over, I'm going to have to re-install TWRP, re-root it and ad apps - correct? It seems to me that settings|backup and reset, I'll leave TWRP intact just reset.
OK, I'm somewhat screwed I think - if anyone's out there (sorry pretty frustrated), I cleaned the D-Cache and the cahe, better but not good. Then a settings|reset and the from within the OS and the same problem does what it wants when it wants, opens programs (usually google voice), pops up the window to set wallpaper, freezes etc. Then I restored a backup from early January from WITHIN TWRP, and cleaned the caches - same. Restored another and cleaned same. I have cleaned the system, as I cannot see/figure out which clean rom custom I can use on this, as I think that might be my only hope. Other than tossing in the junk pile as it's unusable like this.
Whatever is going on is IN the system, which leads me to a custom rom as my only possible salvation - (think I just said that, hum).
Any ideas?

Nexus 5 major software issues

Hey guys, i'm posting here because I have a huge issue with my phone.
I think I have an idea of what caused my phone to go haywire, but i'm gonna post my phone specs:
Red Nexus 5 32gb
Rooted
Franco Kernel
4.4.2 (however, I think it may have somehow updated to 4.4.3 OTA somehow, which may be the root of the problems)
TWRP
Nandroid backup but done once i've been experiencing these problems
-The phone boots up normally and then abrubtly freezes.
-The dialogue "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped."
-I press ok, the screen turns black
-"Unfortunately, Update Device has stopped"
-I press ok, shortly after, both prompts pop up again repeatedly.
I literally have no way to get to the home menu, even using Safe Mode.
My main priority is to at least recover my SMS files. And obviously fix my phone..

reflash your rom, or flash another rom. if using stock, you can reflash the factory img or find a rooted stock rom. anyways, you DO want to update to 444, as many bugs have been fixed from 442 to 444. if yoy dont want to lose any data, grab a stock rooted rom and flash it dirty, as in dont wipe a single thing. and your phone can not update itself, only you can let it update. and with you using franco kernel, it can not flash an ota, you would have to do it manually.

Do you mind linking me a good thread on how to dirty flash a rom? I've been looking all over and i'm getting a lot of results that simply don't work.
Edit:
Nevermind, found out how to use adb. Can you at least tell me where the SMS files are stored? I used Textra.

well, theres no such thing. as most everyone will tell you the proper way is to clean flash, you wont find a dirty flashing thread. regardless, im known for my dirty flashing of everything. generally, what you do to dirty flash is make a backup in recovery first, then just flash what you need to flash, without wiping anything. the thing about dirty flashing is that you dont lose any data(while clean flashing you do).
where the sms files are stored, i have no idea. have you checked if your sms app created a file?

right. adb push it to your phone, then flash it in twrp. if the dirty flash doesnt work out(chances are that it will) then you would have to wipe data(factory reset) and reflash.

You are a f**king god. It worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
Why isn't Dirty Flashing suggested by most?

because most follow older "proper" ways to flash software. and the proper way to flash, and to make sure all is working as should, is to clean flash. dirty flashing can cause issues, but its issues that are usually fixable. the problem is that most dont know that, or how to fix. 99.99% of issues caused by dirty flashing are caused by corrupt or incompatible data. where a data clearing for that particular app will usually fix. anyways, roms based on the same sourcw, and not far from what you are running, you can dirty flash. roms that have a different base than what you are running, you should factory reset first.

Dirty flashing has the potential of causing conflicts and issues. Of course it is not so bad if you back up your data. One problem though, is you might use your phone for a few weeks before the issues show up, then suddenly you are unable to backup data. So you lost a week or two of stuff.
By the way, I often dirty flash when I run into issues. After that though, it is a good idea to back everything up, wipe, and reflash everything. Limits potential issues arising and also causes of said issues.

issues from dirty flashing do not appear weeks later, dirty flashing issues show up right away. all dirty flashing issues are caused by data, whether corrupt or incompatible. other issues are blamed on dirty flashes, but arent the real cause. issues like app fc's are the most common, and very fixable. the only issues that arent fixable are when you dirtt flash two completely different roms that are based on different sources, or different android versions. i have dirty flashed every single thing ive flashed onto my n5, since december, no issues. the only issue i had dirty flashing my n5 was dirty flashing L over rastakat. and the issue was minor. everything worked great except the status bar didnt go down all the way. why did it mess uo? because of incompatible data from rastakat with the new status bar code in L.

You are correct Simms, but it must be noted that you dirty flash the same version, for dirty flash to work. If just updating a rom it is usually fine, but if they have made a major change then it is not.
Have no tales to tell of my N5, but my Samcrap S3 (cracked the screen and she died, then I bought this bad boy ) had issues that would appear later. Maybe due to the dirty flash. Who knows, that is why I mentioned a clean flash rules that out.
Anyway, backing up everything leads to a carefree life!

Pretty much all my apps are crashing after few minutes of uses

Hi,
I'm in stock rom with unchanged firmware.
I installed xxxnoLimits in the past, but after few days and many apps crashes, I decided to uninstalled it, thinking that it was the one introducing the crashes.
But even after uninstall, my phone still force close my apps after minutes of use (Gmail, Snapchat, Mario Kart, etc).
I already disable battery optimization for the apps that are crashing, but it doesn't change anything...
Do guys has any suggestions ?

I'm just thinking there might be something left over cache between flashes that it's preventing apps to properly run. So a full stock OOS flash might resolve the issue (no expert here, just another daily user )

Ahah, any advice are good to take
Could I just did a flash of the rom, and a dalvik cache clean but keep my datas ? Or should I do a full clean flash ? If I have to do you have any good advise for saving datas ? I'm using Titanium Backup, but if you have some tips

I would recommend to the full wipe so we can be sure there's nothing on the middle, because if you keep data there might be some left overs, but you can Titanium backup your apps and copy your internal storage (music, images etc) to your PC, then full wipe, flash Rom and copy things back again

Anyway to clean flash Android 10 stable without losing data?

Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows how to clean flash update to 10 stable from 9 without losing data? I want to try android 10 but don't want to lose all my data and if I use Titanium Backup, it usually messes up notifications when I restore my apps? Any help appreciated !

It really depends on which android/ oxygen OS you are updating to. If you are in 9.5.X and updating to 9.5.XX, then a dirty flash is ok. But if you are upgrading to Android 10/ OOS10, then it's better to clean flash

It's impossible to keep your data on a clean flash unless you are previously rooted, have Titanium backup, did a complete backup, and saved that backup on a computer. Once you have clean flashed (and assuming you have rooted again), you can restore the data from the titanium backup. But.......if you are upgrading from 9.0 to 10.0, then it's not advisable to restore app data from titanium backup as the backup will have 9.0 data while you are on 10.0. It will lead to force closes eventually making you to uninstall and reinstall the apps.
P.S.: and if ever you figure out how to root 10.0 let me know

IMHo Titanium backup is abandoned project. It was my favorite root app a while ago.
Now when I was migrating from OnePlus 6t to OnePlus 7 pro (same android version) I had lots of force closes after restoring data or no restore at all. Even OnePlus migration app did a better job. So I am actively searching for alternatves now

i'm still on OnePlus 6 [OP6] (it's the last model, with headphone socket )
and i have huge love for Titanium Backup [TiBu], however i have read that it's kind of broken for Android 10
for those migrating to OP7 or to Android 10, it did not work properly, etc.
there are ways to prevent TiBu to avoid "no restore", e.g. in "App Processing Mode" to play around with options called 'AUTO, Indirect' or 'INTERACTIVE').
there alternatives which are gaining more popularity to TiBu

I already switched using swift backup. Developer is very active and supportive in telegram. But I didn't had a chance for testing it with a phone migration yet.
