Hi all, firstly Im sorry for this stupid question but I cant figure it out, I want to do a factory reset, I have installed titanium backup but cannot understand what to do. If I make a backup, then factory reset wont i lose all my backups and titanium backup itself? so my question is how to do a backup of all my apps and stuff, then how to reinstall them, really hope you can explain this to me as i seem to have loads of things on my internal sd card and want to clean up but dont know how thanks
TitaniumBackup usually backups your stuff to sdcard, which should not get wiped by a factory reset. To be 100% safe you can copy the backup folder to your computer.
After the reset you will have to download titaniumbackup from market again and then you can restore what you want to restore.
EDIT: read your post again ;-).
Your /sdcard/ will not get cleaned by a factory reset.
To get everything SUPER clean, you would have to copy the backupped stuff to your computer, flash a WIPE ROM (or install stock rom and repartition).
Then you have to copy the backup from your computer to your phone install titanium again and restore your things.
If you dont use the same rom titanium could have problems restoring somethings.

When i create a backup in cwm, it creates backups of everything. Can i delete all the files and just keep the data file and restore just that to get back my data if i reflash?
Basicly, what files do i need to keep to restore just data when i reflash a wipe rom?
Just hate having thewse huge files sitting on the phone for no reason
I guess you can delete for example system image, and be able to restore data. You have to try it to be sure
BUT when you reflash and something goes wrong you may need to restore not only data. So it is better to have all these files, just for safety.
Hi guys,
I just flashed a new rom -Stocklite 7.1
This is my first attempt at flashing a ROM so bare with me.
I created a Nandroid backup prior to flashing and I also copied the entire contents of the SD card over to my computer.
I am using Link2SD and an ext partion as well.
Flashed succesfully. However none of my previous apps / data show up, this was slightly unexpected. I attempted to peform a nandroid data only backup to get these by going to recovery mode then advanced data only restore.
But i got an md5 mismatch.
Basically.
I am trying to restore my apps / data and I want to keep the stocklite 7.1 ROM. NOT a full restore.
Any help?
I recommend using titanium backup for backing up your apps. But, you can probably get user apps by coppying/flashing them to where they belong.
Options:
1 go back to stock rom by restoring your stock backup, make a backup using titanium backup, flash stock lite, install titanium backup, restore your apps. To succesfully restore your stock nandroid backup use te ext4 manager app, convert system to rfs, go to recovery, restore.
2 - open your stock backup on your computer with unpacking or iso software (like 7 zip), extract your user apps (apk files), create a flashable zip to flash them to data/app, system/app as needed. You can also flash their libs and data files to data/data and dalvik-cache to data/dalvik-cache. That should restore user apps and their data to internal memory if you don't want to use titanium backup.
You lost all your data..you should have a taken app backups with Titanium Backup,Nandroid isn't enough.
MD5 mismatch is showing up because you changed the name of the backup folder ..
You can open the backup manually, and get all the data.It might or not work,that would depend oon your luck
Thanks for the posts guys!
I just wasn't thinking. I had already taken a titanium backup full backup so thats' all good!
hello, i have a couple questions about titanium back up. i have pro version and the latest titanium backup. I backed up ll my apps and then connected my phone and copied the folder of TB and pasted into my computer (backup of backups) i restarted my phone into recovery. TWRP to be exact. and i wiped cache and formatted data/factory reset. when i went into the Google store downloaded the TB app. it asked me if i wanted to restore previous id or keep new one. so i restored key. ( am i supposed to restore or keep new one? ) restarted phone and went back into the app went to restore and there are no backups. but i had a backup on my PC. so it was not a problem i just wanted to know why it did that?

What do you mean overwrite it? Do you mean delete it from your phone/flash drive or do you mean restore a different backup over the top of a running backup?
Yes to either anyways lol ... I've swapped out backups multiple times and flashed a backup over a backup but it's always better to restore clean to make sure nothing conflicts ... I always do an advanced wipe in TWRP and format to completely wipe my internal storage and wipe the OS, I then restore from my flash drive using OTG and I've had no issues at all ... You don't really need to do the wipe like that (the OS I mean) but I know it's clean then and ready to start again.
Make sure you are familiar with using sideload or you have a USB OTG cable before you wipe the OS, I don't want you to wipe it and not know how to sort it out lol
I flashed the rom normally and after that i restored the /data folder using a nandroid backup.
After i did that everytime i boot up the phone it keeps cleaning the Dalvik Cache automatically of all user apps.
When i uninstall all apps it's still there, but when i clear data it's gone -.-
Any solutions on how i fix this? As long as i don't need to use adb it's fine.

Do factory reset, make nandroid restore - full. Use Titanium Backup to backup your user Data. Do factory reset, install new ROM, restore Titanium Backup, just user data, avoid system.
