I was trying to install MIUI on my Inc2 (i have CM7 on it currently) and when I installed it, it worked, then I restored, and when it turned on it was running CM7! And when I do advanced restore and restore only data, it'll get stuck in a boot loop. Is there a fix for this?
You can't restore like app data using cwm. You gotta use an app like titanium backup and when you install another ROM, you download it from the market and start restoring apps.

Yea you gotta start off clean when restoring or installing a rom in clockwork. You should wipe data and cache then restore backup. Like said use Titanium to restore app data.

So i recently backed up my beautiful widgets app to titanium back up, and when cyanogenmod tries to install it / restore it, the ROM just reboots everytime. Has anyone had any problems similar to this?

Anyone having this problem?
bumppppppp
My gf froze something in tb that she wasnt supposed to, and now whenever you slide down the lockscreen she gets a force close (process com.android.phone) so the phone is unusable. Is there anything I can do about this in recovery?
If you can get the phone to boot, you can defrost it if you can launch TB. Uninstalling Titanium Backup will not automatically defrost the app.
You can reflash the rom without wiping data (wipe cache & dalvik) to get your system apps back to normal. If you've flashed any mods or modified any system files then you'll lose those changes and you'll also need to reflash your kernel if you've flashed a different one.

Yeah I was gonna reflash the rom as a last resort. Just hoping there was some way I could undo changes tb made through recovery or something.
i ran a titanium backup on my motorola defy whilst running CM7 2.3.7.
the backup was a user apps, systems apps and user data (for those firmiliar with titanium backup)
i then booted into recovery.
> wiped data/factory reset,
> install zip file from sd card
> chose and then flashed WajkIUI 1.10.8
it then booted up and then i then put the phone back into recovery mode and then flashed the google apps 2.3.5 package and that was too successful.
i then booted the phone up and once again it booted up fine.
i then installed titanium backup from the market, then restored all that i'd backed up previously. This once again was successful. I then continued my using my phone as usual. Then i thought too reboot because i was having problems with the theme manager allowing me to change lockscreens, so i rebooted.
It then went into a continuos boot loop and it allows me to go into CWM still and the stock android recovery whilst also allowing me to go into the stock Bootloader.
but i really like the rom but this constant loop annoys me,
how can i fix this without loosing data?...
I think the problem was restoring system apps from a rom to anoter, think you'll have to install your rom again and only restore apps (not sure if restoring data would or not be a problem)
oh, so you suggest i just do a user apps+data back up instead of doing a system backup using CM7,
okay i'll try this out and get back to you thanks .

no, this stuff you mentioned is user data, that will come along on a data restore, just try to restore only apps and data, leave system apps off.
WajkIUI doesn't require gapps to be flashed from recovery, so you can skip this step next time, maybe that was the problem (i am not sure, never flashed gapps for WajkIUI)
oh, okay i'll try this method then i'll get back with the results

Hi All, this morning I made a clockwork mod backup of my phone running CyanogenMod 7.2 ROM. Then I (successfully) restored a backup from late last year of Virtuous Mod ROM - before restoring, I wiped everything: factory wipe, cache, dalvik-cache.
Later, I wanted to restore the CyanogenMod backup. I wiped everything once more and then restored the backup, but upon starting my phone, I get a "Welcome" screen, as if I had a fresh install of CM. I skipped through all the initial setup and found that none of my apps or information had been restored.
Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any suggestions for how to restore my data? Thanks in advance!
When restoring a nandroid backup you don't have to wipe. The backup you make with cwm is the entire system backed up..so no need to wipe.

Hi guys. I'm using the 2.6 version of TWRP. It seems whenever I restore a backup things always seem to go wrong and the OS reboots the first 24-48 hours before things are eventually stable. Do I need to factory reset and wipe system, cache and dalvik cache before I restore a backup, or should restore simply take care of everything for me already when I'm switching from one ROM to another?

One of the reasons I don't backup.
But, yeah I suppose you would want to clear data and cache before you flashed a backup.

You should always wipe cache, data, system, dalvik cache and do a factory
reset before restoring a nandroid backup or flashing a new or different rom.
Doing a factory reset before restoring a nandroid backup will not make
you loose anything at all because the nandroid backup contains all your
settings, apps, mms, contacts and anything else you had in your rom
prior to making the nandroid backup.
It would also be best if you went to the play store and download the free app
"Goomanager" and use that to make sure you have the latest version of TWRP
for your phone.
Good luck!
