I can't get my phone to fully revert back to stock M6. Has anyone else had this problem if so some help would be awesome
Thanks

I had the same issue - grab the mosaic revert from the OTA app and run that. You'll probably also need to uninstall some apps via Tibu if they're still there.
The other option is to do a quick Tibu backup of your apps, wipe, and reinstall MVI, then restore the apps you need. That will make certain that the Dark Fire apps are removed.

I'm on V10A and removed system apps using Titanium Backup. I want to restore Live Wallpaper Picker 2.2.2 but I can't accomplish this using TB's restore. Do you guys have any alternative ideas or solution for this?
Thank you very much in advance.

As far as I know, original applications installed by LG on the phone, which were removed with Titanium backup are not restorable, meaning that you will need to reflash your firmware from scratch to get them back. I've done the same with the Camera app and no matter what I did, I couldn't get it back. Just backup everything you have and flash your phone after resetting everything on it.
So I installed a custom ROM and I love it. But I want to go back to stock for right now. I have safestrap installed, but I apparently lost my backup. Can I turn it off and go back to the stock? Or do I need to actually reset my entire phone?
Also, can I save my game data and use it for my stock rom? I don't wana lose my progress in bubble blast 2.... any help would be appreciated.
Just back up the files you want to use on stock. Go into recovery and toggle back to non-safe mode, assuming you flashed the custom ROM on the safe partition.

Use titanium backup to back up any apps/games and their data and then switch back to nonsafe and you'll be at stock. Download titanium backup again and restore your apps. You can also use my backup root to transfer your call logs and sms/mms. Just don't try to restore any system apps or settings with either of the aforementioned apps as it may cause issues. If you have any doubts about what you can and can't restore, make a safestrap backup after switching to nonsafe mode, then if you bork anything you can restore and try again
Note:the free version of those apps should be sufficient for what you need

Thank you both. Wish I would have read the titanium backup before I toggled it off. So now that I'm feeling optimistic, I'm toggling it back on, doing the titanium back up and then back off. I was a little nervous about this, but now I'm just plain old curious.
So long as you make safestrap backups before doing anything you aren't sure about, you should be fine. Its pretty hard to screw up your device so bad that you can't do a safestrap restore with a lesson learned. I've had to do tons of them.
It can also be a good idea to trying restoring your backup right after making it to make sure its good if you're gonna be messing around alot. I've had a md5sum mismatch screw me over before

Hi guys,
I am tired of waiting for the official ICS update and went ahead and flashed the 'We want ICS' rom and it is GREEEEAT. I made a backup but just want to know if I can get all the apps I had before if I restore the backup or will it take me back to GB. I am on Android 4 now so do I restore or no? I did it using ROM manager

Coming from GB to ICS, it's probably best to download your apps again or install apps only if you have a Titanium Backup.

Using Titanium Backup is not recommended...might cause problems in ROM and ud have to reflash. Install all apps again its the best way.

It's probably a NAND backup you did. This backup contains images of all the partitions of your old ROM. So if you restore, it will restore GB as it was when you did the backup. To restore only your apps you should have used an app like Titanium Backup.
Edit : If you really want to restore you apps you can still restore GB from your Backup, install Titanium Backup, make a backup of your apps and flash again We Want ICS in which you will then be able to restore your apps (Edit 2 : you should use compro01's method, it's faster)
2 options
1. redownload your apps - Easiest way is once you have the play store functioning on the device, just go to https://play.google.com/apps, log in, and wail on the install buttons.
2. if you don't want to do that (e.g. excessive drain on transfer cap and no wifi available) or can't for some reason (e.g. app was removed from the store, but you still want it, like the tricorder (CBS are assholes)), open up the backup folder (/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[nameofbackup]. This is most easily accomplished on a computer rather than on the device) and open the data.[filesystem].tar file. All the apks for the installed apps are in the apps folder. system apps are in same folder in the system.[filesystem].tar file, but you're probably not interested in anything in there.
Just copy out the apks you're needing, and install away. You may need to turn on "install from unknown sources" under the development options.
Note that neither of these methods will preserve your settings from your apps nor any of their other data (saved games, passwords, etc.). if you have stuff you need for some reason, you'd need to go through the above mentioned 3rd option of backing up your current WWICS install, then restoring your previous ROM, backing up all your relevant apps with Ti or another app, restoring your backup of the WWICS ROM, and using Ti/whatever to restore the backed up apps, all whilst hoping that restoring apps from different bases doesn't break things too horribly.
I prefer titanium backup because my app data will also be backup'd

What's the method you should use for titanium? As I redownloaded titanium on my rom and it wouldn't find the backed up data I backed up about 10mins previous

Check to see what filters are in use, if any. If you set a filter to show only uninstalled apps you should see your backups.
Ahh.... I'll have a look next time I flash a new rom

You must be very carefull when using titanium backup and changing roms,since you are coming from GB to ICS thats a completly new and different version of OS and may have problems when restoring too many apps, I suggest that you restore backups one by one app, so if you get some Fc's you can see which app is to blame,and definitly do not restore any settings or system apps

I use Titanium Backup
I use My Backup and it is great. I have found no problems restoring all my apps between different roms.
And if you need to you can either restore the app or app and data

I installed Nike aura ics and then used titanium to backup my apps from a gingerbread rom I was using... Haven't had any fc till now

Thanks guys!! I reinstalled all apps again from the play store but there should be a faster way of doing this. It was a pain but I had to do it. Its great now!!
I know bud. I use Mybackup as well but I forgot to use it while upgrading and thought there would be some other way of doing it
I am currently running CM7 (2013-01-01 nightly) on my Galaxy Ace. When I want to try a new rom I go through the usual steps: make a CWM backup, wipe, flash the new rom, play with it for a while, and then restore my backup to go back to CM7.
Everything works fine, except for one major issue: I can't install apps remotely from the Play Store site after restoring the backup. I click on Install, it says the app will be downloaded to my device shortly, but nothing happens. Wiping and flashing CM7 again fixes it, but that means losing my backups. Is this a known issue? Is there something else I should do after restoring a backup for the Play Store to work correctly again? Thanks!
Can you still login to your GMail account?
Maybe you just have to reconfigure your Google account (and wipe some caches)
Try Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All Apps/find the market app and open it, then force stop the app, then clear catch, clear data, then uninstall updates. Now back out and reopen the market app and then follow the sign in instructions.
Hope this helps.

@ OP : Forget cwm backup. Backup all your data with titanium backup & after a fresh flash, use the " restore data only " option in the titanium backup app.

I'll try that, thanks! If you've restored a Titanium backup before, it'd be awesome if you could check that installing apps from the Play Store site works after the restore. I'm a little weary of losing my CM7 setup again only to fix this issue. Thanks again!

Really speaking, I never use titanium backup as the only things that matter to me on my phone are the contacts & the info I provided earlier was just from a hint of what I had come across before. I can't try it out for you coz I'm currently unrooted. But definitely the data backup should work fine without any issues at all. Just go ahead & try out

Is the Play store installed on your phone? If it isn't you won't be able to dl remotely from the store. If it isn't you will have to find a version of gapps to work with your rom.
Guys small help please
I use titanium back up to back up my all applications and after I flashing a new Rom I use that back up to restore my application.
Most applications I restored with data even the apps like FB Gmail LinkedIn.
I want to know whether the restoring apps with data will make my ROM unstable.
Any help is kindly appriciated.

Normaly no. Only when you do this with system apps.
As long as you only restore user apps then it will be OK.
If you restore system apps then you could get/Have bootloops.....once restored apps and booting OK backup whole system before any modes or changes made. You can then restore back to stable condition
