I started off with an unlocked/unbranded htc desire, on stock froyo. I then rooted using the unrevoked method, and did a nand backup. Then I installed the latest version of gingervillain. But when I tried restoring just the data part of the backup, when I rebooted it got stuck on the gv bootscreen. Is there anyway to restore just the data onto a different rom?
Thanks in advance.

Nope their is as far as I know no way to do that. Use Titanium backup and backup all apps + system and when you have a fresh gingervillain installed again just let it restore and you got all your apps with cached data back (like save-files in angry birds and stuff, user dictionary, ... )

Hi I want to ask if a full wipe will delete EVERYTHING in my memory card? Anyway can I back up my apps contacts and messages to restore them later? E.g. when changing roms yet I want my apps and contacts later.
Thanks

Full Wipe via ClockworkMod Recovery will delete everything excluding your SD Card partition. You can back up your apps + data with Titanium Backup or My Backup though it's always a safe way to only backup your data and manually installing all your apps after a full wipe and fresh ROM installation to avoid bootloops and FCs.
use this .zip for full wipe.
Hi,
Your contacts should be backuped / synced with google or FB another backup shouldn't be necessary.
For your massages you can use eg Go SMS (Market for free). In there is an option for backing up your massages to your SD. I'm using it and it works like charm!

If i use Full wipe1.3 , which i have already done so anyways to flash a rom with CWM would say Titanium Backup restore both paid and free apps to my Desire HD if i changed to a different ROM.
Eg im currently using Leedroid's Gingerbread Beta3 , but if i was to fullwipe then flash CM7 rc2 would i be able for example to restore XDA-app premium
everytime ive installed a custom rom it breaks after i reboot the phone.
ive tried gingerburst, insertCoin, aceSmod for HTC desire and they dont work very well at all...
after i reboot the phone after restoring via titanium backup my widgets get messed up and my htc people app doesnt work properly either.
am i restoring it wrong or something with titanium backup? :S has anyone else came across this problem?
With your apps that the widgets are based on, are they saved to internal storage? Because if they're saved to sd card they will not work, they must be in internal storage to work.

Did you restore the red apps with titanium? Don't do this. It will corrupt your Rom.

i click on menu>batches>restore all apps with data then select all and restore. take it this is bad then?
^No need to restore system apps (the ones in red), because your new system apps are the ones that came with your new ROM. Restore only user apps + data.
thanks guys

Unless one is using a2sd+. Then android "thinks" they are still stored in internal memory (although they are stored in ext partition of sd card) and so the widgets still work.
just installed a custom ROM again and restored with titanium backup.
this time i only backed up the green apps/data and only restored the green apps/data as well.
still the same problem though after first reboot.
Do you run a complete wipe when you flash a new rom? I suggest to delete ALL backups made with titanium backup, run a complete new one, flash new rom with complete wipe, reboot after first boot of the new rom, and then restore apps + userdata with tb.
If this does not help, install all apps manually and only restore their data with tb.

yes, i do run a complete wipe. i will try again later thanks.
MatDroid, I think if he has more than a hundred user apps (like me), it'd be bloody to re-install apps manually. This can often be fixed by Root Toolbox's "Fix Permissions" function, which fixes broken market links and mismatched backups/restores. Dunno if the free version of RT has it though, as I'm using the paid Pro version.
Hiya I need help im rooted already I just need to ask when im backing my Apps with titanium back up do I back all system Apps aswell? Im still on standard rom with all the blur stuff.

If you plan to stay on same ROM. If not you don't need to a it will cause conflict
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
I used Titanium Backup before I switched to CM7 (note, CM7 had no market for me at first, I had to install it manually from here[url].)
Currently restoring all apps and system data. I backed up everything. Hope it works
I've used several different roms since I got my defy last February and I'm so glad I have Titanium Backup. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a backup solution on their android phone.
Thanks for the replys im going to put cm rom on but my question was in titanium app do I need to back up all the system Apps and my game Apps before I put c.m rom on. I would of thought that I wouldn't need all the motorola system when im putting cm on.

I recently rooted my VM HTC wildfire S and installed titanium backup to uninstall bloatware, in the process I backed up and uninstalled download manager 2.3.4. It made my market not run right so I decided I would simply restore it with TB but all it does is hang at the restoring app screen... Any ideas?
Restore nandroid is all I can think of if you can't find one our didn't make one I recommend flashing a stock ROM from team marvelusc simonsimons34 or insink should have one for our phones plus its debloated so there should be no reason to have to un install anything

Hi,
I had just updated my DHD rom from Coredroid 9.4 to the new IceColdSandwitch with the ICS android.
anyway, before i did that i backed up the SMS messages using titanium backup, but when I restored them, it didn't really restore them (even though the process went smoothly). Not even after a reboot.
Is the anyway of 'extracting' the backup files of the SMS messages and manually move them to where they are suppose to be in the ICS android ?
thanks,
shachar

check if your "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage" is the same version as the coredroid.
*edit*
i just checked, its not the same version obviously, coredroid is on ginger.... perhaps if you have a nandroid of the coredroid, try to backup using "sms backup & restore" app and restore it on your new ics...
Or reflash Coredroid, restore your SMS, then back them up again using the app mentioned above and restore to ICS with the same app.
