So I rooted my rezound, downloaded titanium backup pro, then went an deleted the vzw bloatware. Yes I did bsckup the apps on titanium but I lost my wifi to where I will try and turn it on and it will say error. So now I tried to restore the apps to get wifi back and I can't get amazon kindle,backup assistant, blockbuster, Flickr, lets golf, and peep restored. When I select restore on titanium it just hangs in limbo saying restoring app and it never does. I'm scared to do a factory reset and I brick my phone without those apps. I'm trying to see where I went wrong to lose my wifi. So if someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated... thank you everyone
If you made a nandroid backup in recovery before you can restore that. If you didn't you can either just install a new rom or run a ruu. You have to relock first though to run the ruu.

Hi All,
I've been researching this all morning and I'm not coming up very optimistic.
I've decided to go ahead and start getting messy with my Rezound. My first step is to unlock the bootloader etc etc etc. The problem is, from my understanding, your phone gets wiped when the bootloader is unlocked.
The problem is that I've been playing Where's My Water? lately and I'd really like to avoid losing my progress. Is there a way for me to temp root or start this process without losing my data?
Not really. Unless you already have root, you can't use something like Titanium Backup to backup the app data. There are other backup programs, but they normally only backup the apps, not the data.
If you are on the current OTA, there is no longer a temp root solution.

Unfortunately, that's what I'm finding .
I actually didn't install Angry Birds for this exact reason, but when this game was $.25, I figured "What the hell?" Then I couldn't stop playing it :-(.
Is there anyway to make an Nandroid backup without Root? I found an App that will extract data from there (AppExtractor). I'm thinking once I have Root, I should be able to extract from a backup.
Same answer... without root, no.
You could try MyBackup Pro which does not require root. I think that is what I used when I first unlocked and rooted.
You don't have to wipe to unlock. You should be able to unlock. Install recovery app. Do a nandroid backup. Install base rooted rom overtop stock. Then titanium backup. Worked on my old base. Not positive on new ICS leak though.
You may get some force closes before you do a full wipe.

Thanks, but I already wiped :-(.
Got Scott's CleanROM now. Unlocking the Bootloader wipes the phone according to HTC, and it even warned me I'd lose everything.
I really hope this device gets some CM9 love because Sense is just ridiculously over-bloated.
Also, for anyone who hasn't put the leak on yet, ICS has been butchered. HTC replaced the People App with the same contacts you have in GB. At least Apex Launcher is sweet.

I am in the same situation, with a stock Rezound with some data I'd like to keep. Could this be clarified? I thought I could do a 'temp-root', but it seems that this was just for an old version of the stock ROM. I have software version 2.01.605.11
How do I "install recovery app" without first rooting, and therefore having to wipe my phone (for whatever reason)?
Hello, I need some help with restoring via CWM on the Galaxy S3.
On the S2 I pretty much always used CM9 and jumped back and forth between versions and backing up/ restoring was never an issue.
Now however I am using the stock ROM and its rooted of course.
I made a back up of my stock rom 'cause I wanted to try and install some stuff.
I tried installing the jelly bean transition effects but the install failed, the device felt kinda sluggish (maybe my imagination) afterwards so I decided to restore my phone. The restoring went good but the last ting that happens is that CWM says that restoring /Data failed.
I reboot my phone and I come to the first start up screen where I get to choose language and so on. Everything but photos has been deleted. I try to install CM9, and I do that without any issues. Then I trie to backup my stock backup but I get the same error message and I get back to stock setup page.
My backup is a staggering 6GB, and I read somewhere that CWM can only restore 2GB?
I've deleted that backup and done another one but that is also 6GB.
Does anyone know how to restore from that first restore or how to make future restores work?

I had this problem with my sisters Xperia X8,couldn't restore anything that i backed up.It goes for a while and stops.But she had bootloader locked.I was shore that i unlocked her bootloader but i didn't,so i unlocked bootloader,and tried to backup and restore and it worked fine.
I'm not 100% and i don't know is that the way CWM works,but i think in order to restore your data,that you backed up,you have to unlock your bootloader.But it's the best to wait someone who knows this for 100% sure.
If you haven't unlocked bootloader try that,or you don't won't to lose your warranty!?
Good luck!
I don't think that CWM has size limitation but i can be wrong.
Have you made sure that your CWM is up-to-date? if in doubt flash the latest CF-root.
was there ever a resolution to this problem? I did the same thing, rooted the galaxy s 3 and unlock the bootloader. Get a backup of my stock set up using clockwork recovery mod. Now when I try to restore, it does not restore the data. All of my apps look like they are there, but none of them are really installed. I think I can just reinstall all of the apps by hand, I would like to know how to get over this.
I updated the latest version on twrp this morning and when I went to craigslist it said app not foundand could not connect to server. I restored the app through titanium backup and then it was ok. Then I went to facebook and it is saying no connection but my wifi is on. Is there a fix for this or should I just restore a backup.
That's odd, your recovery won't affect phone functions though. What did you do before and after flashing twrp?
I was already running 2.2 and and just updated because I was bored. After that just opened up craigslist then that happened. I didn't do anything else.
I take that back I was messing with titanium backup I must have done something.
Maybe do a clean wipe and fresh install
I tried removing some bloatware, nothing as major as the Coolboy script but some of the Samsung and Sprint crap. I made a backup before hand. Afterwards things were acting a little wonky so I figured I'll just restore my back up but it failed in TWRP. I'm rooted on stock 4.3, any suggestions?
It might be the version of twrp you are using had this issue with a build on the s4, i would try to download a older version and flash it and see if it will restore it. Might not you might be stuck then you'll have to backup with titanium then reflash your rom and restore with titanium. In future my advice would be to also backup everything thru titanium then remove what you want and if need be you can restore the apps you removed thru titanium.
Hi, My Razr M died so I replaced it with another one. Luckily, I had backed up the one that died using Titanium backup and had a cloud version as well.
So I got the new phone, rooted it and then went to restore the phone to the way it was using my backup. Restoring Apps and data.
It ran ok after the restore, but it said to reboot it after the restore. I did a normal shutdown and restart and all I see is the Droid eye going around and around. It has been doing that for a long time now. Over 45 minutes.
Did I brick it somehow? It seems pretty straightforward.
How can I get it out of this mode. Remove the flash and reboot?
Thanks for any ideas.
