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.

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?

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.
My nandroid backups i made with TWRP arent restoring all my data. I dont have my same boot animation, not logged into google apps, all my apps arent on the phone, and not all my settings.... I never had this problem with Clockwork mod. Can some1 help me with a solution. I was just about to upgrade to the latest version of CNA than the update failed and when i tired to restore my backup it didnt restore everything.
I had this issue as well. I cannot remember what i did to remedy the issue. I just ended up going back to ol'faithful.
If i have to take a stab at it......i would say i mounted the partitions ( system, data, cache) and formated them before restoring ANY backups...But that is a guess.

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!
Hello,
so I recently updated to 9.0.6 but I had some weird issues with apps hanging so I thought I would just factory reset. Everything went fine, then I remembered I forgot to backup certain apps so I thought I would just bring my nandroid backup that I made prior to updating to 9.0.6. The nandroid backup is on 9.0.4 and after I restored it through bluspark twrp, it just boots right back to twrp.
I tried the restoring process one more time and it does say at the very end failed to mount /system and it needs cleaning.
How can I fix this?
Update:
I finally got everything done. I wiped everything, installed 9.0.4, then restored only the data partition of my nandroid backup. then I was able to backup the few apps I missed.
Wiped everything again, installed fresh new 9.0.6, restore app backups
ok so I've managed to fix it by wiping the phone and installed a full rom.
However what I don't understand is why my nandroid backup isn't working? any thoughts?
