Restoring from CWM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried restoring a backup of a stock ROM, but upon start up, it comes up with the tutorial setup to find it hasn't restored any of my applications, only my system settings. Can someone explain what the hell is happening?

What the hell are you doing.Restore how ???.

By restoring a backup in CWM. It just doesn't seem to restore any applications.

Can't say what your problem is there, but it might be worth investing in titanium backup pro (batch restore saves a lot of time and effort). Hope you get your apps back.

I use Titanium Backup already It's just easier using a nandroid back up for me. Didn't back up in Titanium Backup unfortunately but I managed to retrieve me apps by using App Extractor to extract the applications and contacts from the nandroid backup

If you only wanna restore your apps use advanced restore and select restore data

yes, only install CWM and you make a NANdroid Backup, ... flash whit the new room and reinstalling the recovery CWM, and give in advanced-backup-restore here only select data...

I have been using it for long. But never had any problem. Don't get what problem you had!
Jeah, install CWM recovery and use NANDROID backup(like adiles sayed) for RESTORING(its the BEST WAY). But if you want only restore you APPS, then you can use TITANIUM BACKUP. It works very well!
CHEERS!
What exactly does nan droid backup restore??

Nandroid is a complete backup of your system. But with advanced restore you can also only restore the phone settings.
I wouldn't advise you to restore settings from a Froyo ROM to a Gingerbread one though.
Same goes with Titanium Backup. When you upgrade to GB, just reinstall the Apps from market and only restore Appdata with Titanium.
When changing from a stock gb rom to a custom gb rom is it safe to do a complete nandroid backup? Or i should only backup the app data with titanium?

Both the things are completely different.
Nadroid backup is used backup complete rom(system, recovery, apps, data, cache, settings).
Whereas titanium backup can only backup apps & data.
You can only restore with titanium backup after you have a working rom & titanium backup installed.
Whereas with nandroid you can restore if you have cwm recovery working.
Hit thanks if I helped!!!
Considering this thread I can't see why you were able to troll in the GingerReal thread when you don't even know as much as this.

Best way to backup the S3

Hi there, I'm kinda new to android and was wondering: is there a way to back up the S3 like the iPhone? Where everything gets backed up into a file and if i were to reformat my phone I can just restore it and everything will be there. Thanks. :angel:
I really like Go Backup. Never had an issue with it, even from going to stock firmware to CM9 or 10, which usually ruins titanium backups.
But the one file backup would be a nandroid, which is done through recovery.

Yes you can restore but it is not advisable..will create conflicts and FCs..Best bet is to restore all the apps with data from TB..all the apps will have their settings intact..only problem is TW launcher but if you are going to AOSP then that is not a problem...otherwise backup TWlauncher also and restore it with Data..force closes may come though..
Titanium Backup works great for me, but be careful restoring system aps.
Make a nandroid backup just in case you mess something up
With both nandroid backup and titanium backup, I feel like immortal

As far as I know, cwm backs up both user apps and system apps with their data so if u restore it from there, the old sytem apps and data might conflict with the new one...so I would advise against it.
Use cwm and completely restore ur old Rom, make a backup usng tb and then flash ur new Rom... Safest way!

You can simply backup your apps and data via TB and

On some clockworkmod versions you can do an advanced restore and just choose data. Never tried it but maybe give it a shot

Not recommendable....if your phone is on different ROM before backup, restoring the backup data into different ROM will make your phone bootloop (really bad cases) or lost statusbar/setting and etc (light cases)....
since he already make a backup then TB is the best choices...

You Think????
FYI : Backup from CWM contains the whole pack of the previous ROM....when you choose to restore data only, it restore all data including User Apps Data and System Apps Data....when System Apps Data is restore into a different ROM, you bet it going to make your phone into bootloop....
you are welcome to try it if you don't believe me....

I was talking about the selective backup of nandroid backup from TB. Ofc in a CWM data restore all apps(system+user) get restored. Im well aware of that and I wont be trying that
Anyways i think this tool is the best option right now. So thanks iOneX for the info :good:
A bit late I guess..
Well, I come here six months later, but Google brought me here...
I guess you're already using Online Nandroid Backup combined with Nandroid Manager. Just two days ago I restored user apps+data with Nandroid Manager from a backup created through Online Nandroid Backup. Both apps from H3r3t1c are really useful, specially working together.
Aside of this advice (surely already not needed) I was looking after a script to restore those user apps+data from a backup. I wanna include that script in my list of zips-to-flash in ZipInstaller
I'd appreciate any help. Cheers.

I said Copy & Restore but I was wrong. I meant Backup & Restore.
What's the issue??
Backup and restore app just backs up app and not data!
Use titanium backup for getting data backed up and getting it to restore!
If that's what you're lookin for

The issue is that I need to restore a backup made in Backup & Restore but it doesn't work so I'm asking if there are other way to do it.
I need some contacts in that backup file (sbf file)

Is there a way to back up/restore everything between roms?

Just wondering. I just flashed JellyBeans and so far I'm not sure if I want to keep it. Might go back to CleanROM. But it gets tiring having to set everything up over and over. There has to be a way to just back everything up and restore it after installing a new rom.
Titanium Backup (app) can backup/restore your apps and appdata.
A Nandroid backup (recovery) can backup the entire rom, basically creating a duplicate of what your phone is currently running.
refer to the glossary section of my guide.
Thanks guys.

So that nandroid backup restores the rom and your apps? 'Cause I've been using titanium but having to reinstall each app anoys me.

No, not when you take the backup. When you restore you shouldn't have to either.

Don't use this to restore your apps between flashes. It restores system data too abs you very well will have issues on your new ROM. Use titanium backup to restore your apps. Of You pay for the pro version it t only takes 1 click.
