Anyone tried psas to backup and restore and if, did it do the restoring as it should ?
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!
Is it possible to make a Nandroid Backup without backing up the current ROM? If yes how?
I'm using CWM Recovery
Thanks for your answers in advance
What are you backing up if you don't want to backup the current rom?
Apps, datas, Pics, music, etc
Advanced backup and backup data only. However actual files on SDCard will not be backed up.. so you will have to copy them over out of the phone manually.
I never ever backed up efs folder ...
Is there any chance to restore it in recovery or any ?
