Everytime I restore a nandroid some settings don't restore. Additional buttons and statusbar settings just don't restore. Is this a f2fs problem or does this happen in all roms right now? I forgot to mention that it happens in all custom roms for me.

I've noticed this too when I restored a nandroid of OOS 4.0.2. The quick settings in the notification bar had their order set to default, but everything else was restored just fine.

when i go into recovery mode, and select backup / restore, should i be selecting backup "data" or backup "all"? what is the difference?
I believe backup data will just backup your user apps and basic data on sd. Backup all baghdad up system apps and data as well. Significance is that you would not want to restore all if you were not running the same rom

So if i would like to restore my phone to the state it is in now, would i be doing a backup "Data" or backup "all"?
when i go into recovery -->backup/restore --> backup, it says backup and restore data is recommended, and that backup and restore all was "use at own risk" or something along that line.
If you are looking to restore your current state on rom "x" down the line, our if you are playing with themes and something goes wrong you would restore all. To be honest I am not sure why you would ever restore just data, that is why I use titanium backup.
You would not want to restore a backup from rom x onto rom y
I only do nandroid backups if I am planning on playing with themes

hmm. so I shouldnt be using nandroid backup/restore to get back to where i originally was if i was testing out a different rom?
I think you have me backwards
If you are running phoenix rom, but wanted to try paragon, you could do a nandroid backup of phoenix so that your set up on that rom is saved. Try paragon, but maybe it uss not for you, so you go back to phoenix. now you can restore your nandroid after you reflashed phoenix to get your settings and apps back. You can not restore the phoenix backup while on paragon. Well actually you could but it will likely cause issues
Now if you wanted to play with themes and you try one out and tower phone won't boot. You can go back to recovery and restore to get rid of the theme

So that means i should always "reflash" back to phoenix rom before restoring my backup onto phoenix?
in this case, would i be using the "restore/backup data" or the "restore/backup all" from the recovery menu? like i said earlier, there is a recommendation in the menu to use backup/restore data and a warning with backup/restore all.

Yes you would reflash phoenix
Backup all, I believe the warning is to prevent you from restoring all from one rom to another.
Ok, I have a backup from stock 2.1. I am running paragon which is 2.2.1. If I try to restore my stock backup I will likely get stock in a boot loop and will have to use odin to recover. I believe, note believe, that if I restored just data I would be ok because I would not be restoring any system information. I use titanium to back up my apps, so I do not see a use for the option

I see, still a bit confused because because i have a stock backup 2.2 from "rom manager". When switching between roms before, i would restore my phone back to the rom manager stock backup through recovery menu restore option before flashing it to another rom. That seemed to work fine.
Is there a reason for this? or is the rom manager backup different from a nandroid "backup all"?

No they are the same, may be better if you tell me what toy want to do, I don't know how to explain this in different terms. Restoring your rom manager backup does not qualify as flashing stock if that is what you are doing
Please someone tell me how to backup using nandroid. I've tried many times using ROM Manager but still stuck on recovery 3(e). My captivate run on froyo JI6. Thanks.

Get into recovery using power menu. Then you can use backup/restore to backup the rom.
Hi Guys.
I haven't worked much with CWM so far and couldn't find a proper answer in the threads here.
When I do a restore from a CWM backup I've not seen an option to choose just data or apps ... so I suppose the whole system including the rom and kernel will be restored. right?
As I'm happy to have CM 10.1 running after all finally, I'd just like to restore the data (SMS, etc.) from a CWM backup. Is there a possibility to do so?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
I don't think you can do that. I used titanium backup pro to restore only the apps+setting to do that.

Ok, thanks. Should have thought about it before.... Sometimes fingers are faster than the brain.

You can do an advanced restore and just restore /data but it's not recommented to do this coming from stock and restoring on CM I guess...

Stock and CM use different bases, and therefore restoring data of Stock can bring over some incompatible data/apk's and this can and most likely will cause a bootloop, from reading i think i can establish the safest way when your changing Rom's is to full wipe and 'clean' install. However when going from nightly to nightly this is not needed, and some data can be restored between same android version Rom's, for example CM10.2 is 4.3.1, data may work on slimbean 4.3.1.
Hope this clears things up for you.
I would also suggest to do a clean install without data recovery. If you want your data you can use Titanium Backup for App data. For the other personal stuff you can make a backup to your PC..

CWM Recovery, URGENT REPLY!!
I faced this problem that my rom got stuck on boot image, so I had another custom rom zip in my sdcard, so to install that I had to format my phone, now I have that backup and I only want to restore system settings, apps, app data, my data(sms, call logs and stuff), I dont want to restore the system or anything else which will make it get stuck on boot image again, now which choices shall I choose in advanced restore to restore only these specified items?
Please reply urgently as I have to travel in a few days and I wont be able to do it over there.

My question is, is it possible to create a nandroid backup from my XZ and restore it on another XZ, which is identical, but a new phone without problems?
My XZ is on 4.2.2. .latest stock firmware, rooted, locked bootloader, softkey mod, lockscreen text mod ,twrp + cwm dual recovery.
I'm not sure, but I'm hoping if I do a nandroid and put it on my microsd and then root the new phone and install cwm/twrp recovery I can then restore my nandroid from sdcard and everything will be exactly as before on the other phone?
All the system settings like wifi acces points, apns, contacts, sms, call log, launcher settings, shortcuts, apps, data, EVERYTHING?! Even the softkey mod will be there again automatically?
Of course assuming everything from the old phone was stored on the microsd like pictures, videos and music, etc. except system settings and data and my user apps which are on the internal memory and should be backed up with the nandroid?
Or am I missing something here? It would not work with stock recovery to restore the nandroid, would it? I have to root and install cwm first?
Or should I go the Titanium Backup way?
I'm just looking for the best, easiest, fastest and most complete solution.
Root new phone (can't get CWM/TWRP any other way) Install @[NUT] dual boot recovery and nandroid restore should work. Baseband on new phone won't change though.

so what is the worst that could happen if I restore the nandroid on another XZ? Could I brick my phone?! Would it just not work, e.g. not boot up or something? And could I make the device usable again by flashing a stock rom through flashtool?
Why won't the baseband not change and is it important in order for the nandroid/phone to work properly or can I flash or change that later if necessary?

In simple words, YES, you can restore your old XZ's NANDROID to a new one
Yes
The answer to this question is YES.
Just disable MD5 checksum verification and make the backup.
Once backup is made transfer the file to the XZ number 2.
Boot into CWM and find the recovery and restore from it.
It'll be exactly the same as XZ number 1
Things on the external SD card will not be backed up so you'll have to transfer that over manually.
I have a few questions about this whole backing up and restoring process. I've noticed that whenever I restore my stock rom after using an AOSP rom the restored stock rom almost always never works, or is extremely buggy. I want to know if its just me that has this problem, or you just cannot restore a touchwiz rom from an AOSP one. Lastly, I don't have to wipe any caches before restoring right?
1.Install philz
2.reboot to recovery
3. Back up and restore >misc nandroid setting > include preload

AOSP recovery doesn't backup preload partition. But restores it.. So if you backup using AOSP recovery and restore, the preload will be empty.. Thus causing a lot of force closes..
Hello all, and thank you for looking at my thread.
To start off with I have a rooted Nexus 6 with stock Rom except for TWRP and a minor change to some settings to allow hotspot. I wanted to upgrade to 5.1 from 5.0.1 so I performed a full Nandroid backup and flashed the new ROM using Wugfresh's toolkit. I realized after I did this that I had forgotten to get my text messages and call logs from the old ROM. I then performed another full Nandroid backup of 5.1 and then tried to restore the 5.0.1. During the restore of the data partition it gets stuck and will not go any further. I checked the MD5 hash for the data partition and it matches.
Is there any way to repair the backup?
Figured it out for myself. Realized that there isn't really a way to fix a backup. found a program called nandroid manager and was able to get the sms and call logs without restoring.
