Hello,
I recently migrated from gingerbread 2.3.3 (DarkyROM) to mackay 4.2.2 ROM. I made nandroid backup with CWM before I flashed mackay ROM and also full backup with Titanium Backup Pro. Everything went well all except restoring contacts. After I flashed mackay ROM I realized that they weren't synchronized with Google account. I've tried to restore them with titanium backup pro, but it didn't make any difference.
Now I have TWRP which can't see 2.3.3 nandroid I've made with CWM. My guess is that the solution is to switch to CWM, sync contacts to google, switch back to TWRP, restore nandroid of 4.2.2 ROM and then sync contacts from Google server again.
However, I have no idea how to do that.
Please help, it's pretty urgent.
Thanks!
Have a look at the McKay kernel thread for the flashable McKay settings app and use that to switch between the cwm and twrp recovery

Thanks, I actually got to CWM. However, are you sure I can just restore 2.3.3 GB? Because when I migrated from 2.2.3, I had to install CM9 before CM10.1 in order to avoid IMEI loss.

Hi,
I hope that my experience could help other persons that fall in my situation.
After a try of CM, I couldn't restore my stock backup anymore, the phone hanged up in the lg boot screen.
There were no problems about ext4 partition or wiping or fixing permission.
I was thinking to do a NVflash procedure, but i gave another try: using old modaco CWM recovery. I overwrited CWM 4.2.0.2, performed a wipe, installed the modaco zip ext4->ext3 (i didn't remember if i was ext 3 or 4) and then restore my STOCK backup: EVERYTHING WAS FINE!!!
Maybe there's a problem in the newest CWM during restore a backup, i don't know, but in this way i could restore my original firmware.
Hope that this could be usefull.
Did you do your stock backup with modaco CWM? It has different MD5 checksum than the CWM. Might be the case why you can't restore your backup.
No, I did the stock backup with the original CWM.
I think that the problem is in the restore procedure of the original CWM (4.2.0.2), in fact also the CM restore is impossible, only if you install the zip immediately after the restore. Instead... hangs up.
I find when that happens the best method is to reflash the rom your restoring and just restore the data from your nandroid backup. Always works for me.
confirm this issue with cm & nandroid restore

This is true, restore and then install the rom. But how if your restore is the stock rom? NVflash? It's not the same.
Fortunally, Modaco CWM solve it without this procedure.
Thanks!!
This solve my problem with my stock nandroid restore. I downgrade CWM to 3.1.4 (did the backup with 3.2.8 version) and now works perfect!!
Finally i could restore my stock rom.
my solution was...
1. nandroid backup of mcr
2. full wipe & installed cm7
3. nandroid restore of mcr
4. installed mcr without wipe (this solved bootloop after restoring)
Hello everybody! I made a cm9 b14 nandroid backup a week ago to try out the new miui mintberry, now if i try to restore the backup i have some problems like no statusbar and random recovery reboots. So I came back to miui and now i m considering doing a nandroid backup of miui mintberry in order to try the new cm9 b15, i wanted to ask you what could have caused the problems described so to avaid them if (after doing the miui backup and flashing the new rom) i will want to go back to miui in the next days. Another question is: do i loose all the saved passwords (gmail wattsapp facebook freesms..) by doing a nandroid backup or they are stored with all the data?
I hope my questions are clear
Thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1 now, and I have ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6.
But I want to restore and Clockwork won't see my backup because it was done in a newer different version 5.0.2.7.
How can I restore my backup ?
to restore your nandroid backup its best to first install the rom you took the back up off.. factory reset your phone and then do a fresh install of the rom you backed up.. after flashing restore the backup..
you won't have any FCs or anything with this method.
So I flashed CM11 on my dads phone, first taking a backup of the rooted stock that was on there. Now when I restore the backup (after full wipe) It freezes and crashes all the time!. It seems as soon as I touch the phone it stops responding to my touch. However the phone still makes the bubble/water sounds when i hit menu key. Please, please help since this is my dads phone.
Samsung TW based roms stock some apps in the /preload partition so did you use Philz recovery to make nandroid backup and check include preload (located in restore and backup => misc nandroid settings )?
if not then your backup is incomplete and flashing stock rom via odin3 is the best way to revert back.

Ah, my backup doesn't include preload. If I reverted to stock via Odin, would I still be able to restore just data?

After flashing using Odin, rooting using Philz kernel to get cwm, you can do an advanced restore of just data. It might not restore 100% data but should restore enough.
PS. Preload is only used if you had JB earlier.
after flashing my mob with [Rom][4.4.2][Team D.I.R.T] Dirty Unicorns v6

so can i convert backup files to be used on other valid app
Hmm.. I don't know.. The way I know is,
Go back to stock, restore the backup, make a nandroid backup using cwm recovery, install the new rom, use titanium backup to restore. Keep in mind that data of system apps from touchwiz cannot be restored to omni or cm. So for those use apps like sms backup and restore.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Pop Plus (S5570i - rooted) which I currently renewed by reflashing the stock rom: I’ve done optimization/customization of both system and applications and now I’d wish to do a Nandroid backup of everything, since I plan to install/test some other rom.
In the past months I’ve tried some CWM recovery which installed fine, and all CWM which I tested were able to correctly performs the Nandroid backup on my SD card, but none of these CWM recovery were able to restore the backup; I don’t exactly remember the exact error message, but was something about the mounting of some partition, furthermore this failed restorings caused my phone to become bricked and I was forced to reflash the stock rom.
By searching on this forum I've find this discussion, about another version of CWM for the S5570i, especially on the following post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27179828&postcount=119
The user in such post ( draiyan ) said that he was able to backup and restore a Galaxy Mini Plus using the Skin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip file. Well: this CWM, as the other which I tried, boots fine on my phone and as the other which I tried, has been able to make a Nandroid backup, but I’d wish to have some other confirmation: is the CWM kin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip recovery able to restore the backup? Or maybe someone can suggest me a tested CWM for the Galaxy Mini Plus with the stock rom, which is able to correctly restore a Nandroid backup?
Many thanks.

Well, I reply to myself, also for future references/needs of the people which will read this topic:
Yes: the CWM Skin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip recovery is able to properly backup and restore the Nandroid Backup on the Galaxy Mini/Pop Plus (S5570I), yesterday I decided to take the risk to restore the Nandroid backup and everything went fine: the restore was properly done, because using a root file explorer I made a text file under /system and /data: after the Nandroid restore these text file were no longer present, and after the reboot I found my phone in a previous state (before the restore the phone was in plane mode, after the restore the plane mode was disabled).
