[Q] ICS Nandroid Restore - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

Question : restoring data after flashing roms

First of all,hi all,newbies here.. Bought my O2X for about a month n flashed a few custom roms..question is,i read somewhere that 'restoring data' after flashing roms can cause battery drain issue,is that mean restoring thru recovery or titanium backup? I always use titanium backup n restore app only,afraid of the batt drain issue,but it gets annoying coz i need to set up everything again.(account login,settings).

Only restore "user apps", not system data when coming from another rom.
Sometimes restoring user apps WITH data can cause problems, like batterydrain. For example when going from froyo to gingerbread.

Which means everytime we flashed new roms,we need to setup all the accounts n apps settings again,rite? I thought it can be easier. ;-P

not really, when staying on froyo rom (MCR Kitchen for example), just flash over new rom, you will keep your data ...
when flashing new baseband -> also just restore backup in CWM
when changing to CM, i would recommend using titanium or mybackup pro to restore your apps (exclude system apps in backup, cause they are different !)
but when you´re staying on CM , just flash new rom, you will keep your data !

yes !!
i came from fr14 to fr18b2 without wiping anything !
i would only wipe once when you plan to move to cm, but when you stay on MCR based roms, just reflash rom and enjoy !

Fear, BlazingDragon, they are all based on MCR, so it shouldn´t be a problem ...
just try out, in worst case, when facing a bootloop or some other problems, you can wipe anyway afterwards ...
so it´s good to have a "titanium" or "mybackuppro" backup for worst case
Ok thanks dude!

Wife's galaxy s

Hi my wife's galaxy s has started turning the screen on at random..and continuously sometimes. This as we know will start ruining the battery.I've had many issues with her ics. For some reason since installing a kernel. It messed it all up somehow the remains of the boot image or kernel etc is still onboard thankfully I still can boot her. Can't apply custom roms at all. I can send an official rom from the PC but that's it. I managed to get gb on. Its started randomly turning the screen on. Fairly certain its not the rom she's had it since last year
Any ideas? Is there anyway to totally strip the phone of virtually everything to the core and start against

If you think its a kernel issue you could run a kernel cleaner script then reflash, but my sgs did this when it got water damage almost exactly as your described

Thanks for the reply do you know where the kernel script is?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Do a nandroid backup. Then copy necessary files to SD card (rom, kernel, modem, whatever.)
Then format /system and do a factory reset. Then do a fresh install of your kernel and rom.
Then in cwm go to backup and restore, advanced restore, and restore her data!
Then your phone is fresh .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166954 here you go read the guide and flash it , I seriously doubt the other suggestion will work as the nandroid backup restores it to exactly how it was before I mean like if your wifi was left on it will be on after you restore exact, so what ever bug is doing this will almost defiantly restore aswell

It will work we are just saving data like settings and apps.

It backs all the system apps up aswell and every single thing so if there is a bug it will restore that aswell... your better off just redownloading the Alps from play market after and using a sms backup app if you want a clean install

Installed CyanogenMod 7 lost data

hi all,
Been reading these forums and decided to Install CyanogenMod 7
I rooted my phone
backed it up
Installed CyanogenMod 7
Part of the install procedure is Wipe data/factory reset which I didn't really give much thought to until after I had done it.
Since I have a full backup can I get me data back (contacts, messages, favourites) i'd settle for just getting my contacts back if possible
Hey
U can get it back if you had all that in your backup...
Just restore from backup..it'll work..
Cheers

Take a backup using CWM of your current ROM.
Install a new ROM (whichever u like)
Download Nandroid Manager.
Using Nandroid Manager u can restore all apps and data from CWM backup of old ROM...
Hit thanx if this helped.

[Q] SG3 rooted and Unfortunatley messaging has stopped appeared

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727951
Dear Experts
My SGS3 (GT-I9305) was working flawlessly, only it wasn't rooted
Android version 4.1.2
I rooted it using : farmroot as below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
After rooting I uninstalled some applications from the phone that are safe to be removed based on the link below :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1
I ended up with two error messages initially :
Unfortunately touch wiz home has stopped
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Secondly with
Unfortunately, messaging has stopped
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My troubleshooting
1- Clear data for touch wiz no joy
2- Clear data for messaging no joy
3- I did backup using Titanium then I did a factory reset twice (via tow different ways)but still problem not fixed
Although I didn't restore anything yet via Titanium
Any other suggestions ? Did rooting create the problem ? Or removing apps ? Why reset didn't fix the issue ?
Thanks
Did you install a custom recovery and backup after root?

You need to restore your Nandroid backup .
Whatever you debloated you have removed some key components hence the messages .

Are saying I need to restore what I backuped via Titanium ? or something else ?

If you don't have that you can flash it with your firmware.
EDIT: I would have invested in mobile odin in that case. Makes life easier.

He meant you should restore with your custom recovery, but if you don't have one and didn't do any backup that's not so easy..

Will do that

Anytime! And i would also clear data/cache and dalvik cache. It will erase your phone so it will be like new.
And install custom recovery and do a backup when you get all things running so you can restore your phone if something happens again..
Good luck!
