i am using phil 3.75. and bertrom. i nandroid backup. but when i try to restore, the restoration did not fully restore my backup. main apk missing. setting missing. alot more missing. when i backup, i didnot change any setting, backup using stock setting. why it did not restore fully my backup or the cwm didnot fully backup my rom.
lost most of my apks
Check in the clockworkmod folder. Do you have a blobs folder? If yes, you will have to change he default backup format to tar in cwm and then do a backup again. Try this time
its already in tar format but the stock philz kernal is off the /preload backup. after i on it. now it all works.
so make sure the /preload is enable under philz setting, otherwise when doing full nandroid backup, the preload folder will not be backup

I created backup for my original 2.3.4 ROM in the ClockworkMod Recovery. After installed CM 7.1. The original ROM backup doesn't work in the recovery backup and restore menu's. I Started the phone, and the phone is restart all time.
What's the problem?
I need Original ROM.
Only smartflash?
Copy the attached file to your sd-card, install it from CWM, and then restore your backup.
I created some backups in the CWM Recovery --> Restore Backup --> Backup.
The Backups doesnt works.
ive had this happen to me too and figured out that, at least in my case the emmc and sd card got swapped, making it impossible for CWM to find the backup. also, there was an issue regarding a touch recovery version having problems with our phones.

Did you try TrymHansen's post already?
Can you post a copy of /cache/recovery/last_log

TrymHansen's solution should work. CM7 uses ext4 and stock uses ext3.

Same here I made a backup with 5.2.0.8, then flashed new BB, then MD5SUM mismatch when restoring...
Plus some strange behavior of the phone, I even thought it was bricked, impossible to reboot in smartflash mode, and finally rebooted alone in recovery.
Had to made a fresh reinstall. Grrrr....
Hi guys,
I just flashed a new rom -Stocklite 7.1
This is my first attempt at flashing a ROM so bare with me.
I created a Nandroid backup prior to flashing and I also copied the entire contents of the SD card over to my computer.
I am using Link2SD and an ext partion as well.
Flashed succesfully. However none of my previous apps / data show up, this was slightly unexpected. I attempted to peform a nandroid data only backup to get these by going to recovery mode then advanced data only restore.
But i got an md5 mismatch.
Basically.
I am trying to restore my apps / data and I want to keep the stocklite 7.1 ROM. NOT a full restore.
Any help?
I recommend using titanium backup for backing up your apps. But, you can probably get user apps by coppying/flashing them to where they belong.
Options:
1 go back to stock rom by restoring your stock backup, make a backup using titanium backup, flash stock lite, install titanium backup, restore your apps. To succesfully restore your stock nandroid backup use te ext4 manager app, convert system to rfs, go to recovery, restore.
2 - open your stock backup on your computer with unpacking or iso software (like 7 zip), extract your user apps (apk files), create a flashable zip to flash them to data/app, system/app as needed. You can also flash their libs and data files to data/data and dalvik-cache to data/dalvik-cache. That should restore user apps and their data to internal memory if you don't want to use titanium backup.
You lost all your data..you should have a taken app backups with Titanium Backup,Nandroid isn't enough.
MD5 mismatch is showing up because you changed the name of the backup folder ..
You can open the backup manually, and get all the data.It might or not work,that would depend oon your luck
Thanks for the posts guys!
I just wasn't thinking. I had already taken a titanium backup full backup so thats' all good!
I have a few question regarding nandroid backup and titanium backup.
1. If I do nandroid backup of original ROM and then I flash to another ROM, what happens if I directly do restore from the backup from another ROM?
2. What is the difference between nandroid backup and titanium backup? As far as I'm concerned, titanium backup only backup the apps + data. How about nandroid backup?
3. Will nandroid backup, restore all my current states with all the apps + data?
Thanks guys. I'm a bit confuse.

1. If you are restoring from the same android build version then you can directly do restore from nandroid backup.. that will bring your phone in the state you took the backup in.
2. Nandroid backup takes a backup of everything except SD card data... all settings, call logs, messages etc etc.. if you didn't delete anything from SD card then restoring a nandroid backup will restore your phone to your earlier state.
3. Yes, it will.. though it doesn't affect SD card data, so if you delete or add something there it will be like that.
That`s mean i have to flash back to my own ROM and then do nandroid restore. After that, i can get all my previous apps + data? Am I right?

Just to be sure.
First - Do nandroid backup of current original ROM (with apps + data).
Second - Flash to other type of ROM (GB, ICS, JB) for testing.
Third - Change back to original ROM.
- 1st - Flash Back to ori ROM.
- 2nd - Do nandroid restore.
Fourth - Get back original ROM with apps and data like before (same thing as in First)

When you backup the rom, everything will be backed up. However, using a backup made by cwm will technically not backup your applications for you. While they will be there if you restore the backup, you won't have access to them if you go to a new rom or ftf or whatever it is that you are trying to do.
Titanium Backup is a great tool to backup your apps. It does both the app and the data, so it's pretty convenient. Personally, I like to make sure that the backup folder is somewhere on my sd card.
I try different roms time to time on my redmi note 10 pro and using ArrowOS as my daily driver. I want to backup this ROM using TWRP and can see many partitions for backup, do i need to backup all partitions? Last time when i backed up arrowos(all partitions) and tried to restore, super partition didn't copy and ended up in bootloop after restore, so this time I want to make sure i perform right steps. Do i need to remove passwords before backup?
Can anyone, who have tried, help?
Keep the copy of ROM zip after flashing the ROM & backup all your apps using titanium backup or migrate backup or swift backup or app manager etc.
Whenever you want to restore just flash the ROM & restore the apps again with the app you used for creating backup.
Alternatively, if you don't want to setup ROM again, you can backup data partition. For restoration you'll have to flash ROM zip & restore data partition.
