[Q] Recovery backup and restore - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on GingerDX at the moment and I've lost the ability to boot into xRecovery but I can still boot into CWM. I want to try restoring a backup to see if it fixes the problem but is it safe restoring a backup with CWM originally made with xRecovery?

You cant do that. Just use seus and restore your phone and install xrecovery

You know, I could just install another ROM and the problem would be possibly fixed but I'm asking just for future use.

Yeah. Cuz most roms have xrecovery preinstalled so that might fix the problem

[Q] GingerCruzt installation problem

Hello, after I rooted my phone and installed xrecovery I tried to install GingerCruzt, but no luck.. No matter what I did, after the installation the phone boots until that colorful sony ericsson logo and then loops at it. The only way to recover the phone is to restore my backup after that. Any idea why this happens? Thank you very much for your time!

Did you wipe data before and after you installed the rom?
Did your baseband end with 015? Thats extremely important

You cant install gingercrutz with xrecovery, you need to install cwm recovery....

[Q] ICS Nandroid Restore

Hello,
I have had some issues with a ROM (Extreme ICS) and had to reinstall it.
I backep up everything as Nandroid Backup, because there were several bootloops, everytime stuck etc. and when I restored it, again bootloops.
I restored only "data".
Now, I flashed CM9 and tried to restore only the "data" at "advanced restore", but again, it stucks at the CM9 boot screen and is loading .. now since 10 minutes ..
Tried it with DevilKernel and Semaphore and stock CM9 Kernel of course.
Nothing.
Can I do everything ? Any ideas ? I want to have my apps like colorNote again
Thank you,
YEA64
Restore data one app at a time, and no system data, then you can find the data that is causing problems

Don't select batch, just tap on each app and a window pops up!

I'm referring to titanium, clean flash you're ROM, and then restore one app at a time

I think you missunderstood me .. I am doing Nandroid backup not Titanium ..
The backup in CWM ..

You won't have much luck trying to restore data across roms like that though, hence my titanium reference

Damn .. so I can't do anything .. ?
It boots until the boot screen of the ROM .. it passes the Kernel logo and so on .. but it "loads" to a long time, so in your opinion it is non sense to wait ?

I would go for a clean instal, I go back to gb every month or so, just to keep it clean and slick, only takes an hour to clean flash and restore back to where I am on slim, then as soon as I'm back and clean I do fresh nandroid and I know I'm safe and protected, might sound over the top but I give a lot of advise on slim thread and I need to know what works, what are bugs, and what is caused by user mess ups!

Help ! System apps deleted

You can install the same rom again using pc odin.
I did that but didn't seem to workout

Got cwm recovery?
Didnt make a backup?
If you havent got cwm, flash a cwm recovery image (with a new kernel... Dunno what system files u removed so...) using odin or heimdall.
Next: flash the rom of your likings after a full wipe.
After all that: BACKUP (using cwm).
Goodluck.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
You dont need odin.find a safe kernel like philz or abyss then download the stock rom and follow the steps for flashing it(i dont know whether requires wipe or not!)

Are you on stock 2.1??
If yes then it will not allow installation of huge apps directly
you have to do manually with any app with root access like titanium backup or root explorer..

Rom/Firmware:Read-Only Memory and technically speaking, it refers to the internal storage of a device, which is supposed to contain the operating system instructions that needn¡¯t be modified at all during the device¡¯s normal operation.
that means I have to install a room?

Restoring Data query

Hey guys,just had one question..Im on LQB right now,and i want to flash the indian fw as i heard that it is good...after i flash it,after rooting and all,can i restore only the data part of a LQB nandroid backup through advanced option of cwm restore,or will that create problems?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
I think its OK only to restore your app's data... Although I don't use or have much knowledge of using CWM, on TWRP I do this whenever I flash any new ROM....
Just make sure you don't restore your System files or Boot/kernel image as that might cause some problem.. .
Sent from your Phone using the XDA Developer's app
Cool..yeah,i'l restore just the data.. Thanks!
