What do I restore when using TWRP restore? - T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I backup my V10 with TWRP I select ALL the items to make the backup.
When I restore which items do I restore all or just some of them??

You have to have made a backup from to twrp first...then when you go to restore from twrp it will automatically show that backup file....

It should just have one file even though you chose too backup multiple things.....does that make sense?

No, what I'm asking is what items do I restore or all of them or just some of them:
Boot
System
Data
Cache
Recovery
EFS

depends what you're doing... if you're doing a full restore, I would select everything except cache, recovery and efs... only restore recovery and efs when needed.

Changing the name of a CWM backup folder

Is it safe to change the names of a CWM backup folder? I remember reading that the CWM on my asus transformer would not restore a backup if the backup was renamed. Also (this is my first android phone), what is the best procedure when restoring a nandroid backup?
restore
wipe ----> restore
flash rom ------> restore

CWM custom nandroid recovery

After installing NeatROM latest version, I want to restored just my data from my nandroild backup. This ROM has Philz CWM Touch. In recovery, I go to Backup and Restore/Custom Backup and Restore/Custom Restore Job. In Custom Restore Job, I select only Data and deselect everything else. At this point, I can't figure out what to do to start the recovery. If I hit the return key, it goes back to the previous menu.

Advance restore/ select data

I do not see any option called Advance/Restore. Can you be more specific? I am looking the CWM menus right now. Here is what I see:
Reboot System Now
Install Zip
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Backup and Restore
Mounts and Storage
Advanced
Philz Settings
Power Options
Under Backup and Restore, I see:
Backup
Restore
Custom Backup and Restore - the selection in which I described my problem
(and several other options)
Under Advanced, I see:
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Report Error
Key Test
Show Log
Datamedia Not Supported
Partition External sdcard
Partition Internal sdcard
So, I do not find what you are directing me to.
It seems you are using latest philz.
.
Try changing to xwlss philz .
You have a option advance restore in backup/restore

thanks. actually, I finally found what I needed in there. it was hidden at the bottom of a very long touch menu.

[Q] Best way to Backup/Restore not custom recovery?

Hello XDA,
Im using CWM modded custom recovery. Restoring my backup made my phone bootloop and eventually i had to factory reset my phone and start all over.
So im looking for the best way to backup my entire phone as is (Homescreen with folders widgets, settings, all apps and its data...everthing).
I searched in the forum for a couple of methods but im not sure... i have titanium backup pro, does creating update.zip and restoring from recovery do the same work? what about adb backup?
I need a method that can backup and restore just as CWM did for me.
Help would be much appreciated.

TiBu is as good as it gets for backing up data, but nothing but a custom recovery or onandroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en) can do an actual boot/system/data backup. You also might try a different version of CWM or see if they have a fully functional version of TWRP, Make a backup before restoring stuff and test to see if it's working before relying on it.

This app is awesome for it self. But im having more trouble restoring then backing up. Are you familiar with other methods of restoring nandroid backups? perhaps not from cwm recovery but apps/module as you posted for backup?

Only way to restore is via recovery. The update.zip for TiBu will restore apps then will restore the data after you reboot.

Been awhile since I've looked at the Atrix forums. Thinking part of the issues might be because of the big system hack to run CM11. Mybe th recovery you have doesn't support it correctly? Doesn't seem to have the newer TWRP versions so doubtful you can install KK roms with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atrix-4g/development/rom-cm-11-android-4-4-4-atrix-bigpart-t2847281
That talks about what recovery to use and how to revert.

I am using Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV Cm11 with bigpart that why i cannot change my custom recovery because its modded to install kk rom. Question is, does an UNMODDED custom recovery can backup/restore KK nandroid backup?

restore backup

is there any way to restore data from marshmallow backup into lollipop?
hoe there will be any way
need to get my contacts and messages
is it a twrp backup.if yes you will get your contacts and messages but you will face other applications giving force close because marshmallow and lollipop are very diffrent. There is a workaround but will need time. restore your backup then backup your contacts and messages then reflash lollipop.

You cant restore a marshmallow backup to a lollipop.
Yup, you can't restore it unless you update to the version where the backup was made and then backing it up using another method, titanium backup for instance..

Problem with nandroid backup...

I restored my nandroid backup of AICP 7.1.1 but some of my settings were reset to default.. Also my messages were deleted... Is it a known bug??
Anyway to correct this??

yes got the same. Saving/restoring cache do not help for some data, i.e. messages.
You have to backup your messages also with App like SMS & Calllog Backup
