[Q] Restore help

Ok.... I made a few backups via nandroid using cwm. When I checking CWM I noticed that I had 4 backups.
1 of the backups was when I was using Bonsai 3, and has a program I want. It is not in the market anymore.
When I restored that backup I went back to Bonsai 3.
If I install the backup I made last night I get Bonsai 4, but I lose the program.
Also if I connect my phone to my laptop under Bonsai backup I only have 1 file which is 1kb so where are these backup files?
Thanks for the help! The newbies like me appreciate it.

I think there is a way. Someone else had a similiar problem and wanted to get their text message data out. It is in the thread below where 00dwan talks about unyaffs and data files. Seems a bit complicated but if the app is that important here you go. What is the name of the app? Maybe someone still has it and can upload it to you.

Hope this helps.

Also you can restore the Bonsai 3 backup with the app and then using Android Mate or any of a dozen backup programs, backup the app, or send it to the SD card, and then resinstall it after putting Bonsai 4 on.

Its actually wallpaper (yeah I know its stupid). I got it off the market it was called Nba wallpaper by nametz. It is not in the market anymore. I could not figure out how to move the file. I can press on hold on my home screen then click on wallpaper. I then can install from the gallery, wallpaper, or this file which is ... somewhere.
I tried titanium backup in the past which I thought was simple since it was set to back up everything once a week. However when I needed to install the data and files again I could not. So If you could recommend a simple program that is idiot proof I would appreciate it.

So it was actually an application that you downloaded from the market? With the app on your phone, get android mate from the market. Open it, look for the NBA Wallpaper app, then long press on it. An option will come up to back up. Do that and you will be able to restore it on Bonsai 4. If it is just a wallpaper it should be a jpg somewhere. Root explorer may help you find it. If you can see it in the Gallery then you can long press on it there and get the details of it, share it by sending it to yourself or other options.

Ok I did what you said, and dl android mate. However the file is not listed. Its not under applications. It is not listed under downloads, but it is set at my current wallpaper

Buuuuttttt the links are not working. It says it was an app which must install the wallpapers when you run it, therefore the app should be on your phone. Is it listed in applications?

OK, so back it up (apk+data) and restore it after updating the ROM. If it is an apk file you will also need to click on it to put it back in your wallpaper choices.

Just back it up with titanium and when you update and run titanium later you can restore it. Titanium backs it up on the sd card.

Is it one wallpaper you are trying to save or the whole app? When I went from 3 to 4 it restored my MARVEL wallpaper.

Where to delete files?

Does anyone know the best place to search for files on the phone that are not necessary to have & just take up memory?
The reason I ask is that I have the stupid red icon that says internal phone storage space is nearly full & then the uninstall apps/data
The thing is that 99% of every app I have is on the SD card, my pics are on the SD card, I have no music on the phone & I have no idea where to look for stuff to delete.
The phone says 48MB on it when the red icon shows up. Tried Cache cleaner, but that doesn't do that much. I'm sure there are hidden files or temp files or something i'm missing. Even cleared slacker stuff, & internet cache.
Does anyone know what folder I should be looking in?
Thanks.

Phone or memory card? Are you rooted?

The /system/app is pretty slimmed down. And you know how many other files are not there or size-optimized in srf? Its all behind the scenes.
And I didn't even think of apps on /data....try titanium backing up all your apps contacts etc and wipe data.

YA i know but bonsai is as slim as you can get as in no extra "crap apps"
Like outdated wireless tether,wired tether,download crutch,galaxy tuner and other crap which i deleted...
Plus launcher pro demo... they should of left touchwiz there instead.. its annoying to install the full version cause u have to delete the demo one with titanium then have a file explorer in your recent apps before u do that cause u wont have a launcher to launch anything..
but after cleaning and configuring it then it is slimmed down.

I've looked on the apps folder & deleted a few items I don't use which won't move the SD, but I still think there are other files that can be deleted but i'm not sure where they hide.
I have managed to get up to about 63MB free now, so that'll keep it from giving me the error.
Now i've realized how important it is for apps to be able to be moved to SD. The ones that can't not many people will use. I guess down the road with more internal memory on phones this may not become a problem.

Thing is, it shouldn't be a problem with our phones. I've never had this problem. Which is why I'm curious lol

Had the same thing happened to me, I was re-installing sfr1.2 and genocide 2.0 and somehow ran into this problem... I did a wipe data/ factory reset then wiped cache/dalvik 3 times then flashed srf1.2 then flashed genocide 2.0 and all seems well again... must have just screwed up the first time somehow!

How to save angrybirds pre flash?

Can anyone tell me if there is a file in angrybirds (there must be) that is the save file, so i can save it prior to flashing roms n then replace it over the original, so can be back where you were?

Titanium backup should save everything but I'm not 100% sure so let's Wait for someone else to confirm it

Application Manager -> All. Select Media Storage, and clear data. Reboot the phone. This will force the system to rescan all media files.

Use Kies
The same thing happened with me, and the only workaround I found to fix this problem, is by copying the pictures from phone to computer, then used kies to copy the pictures from the computer back to phone, and it worked.

Might I suggest, sadly, the last two options:
Completely delete the entire SD card. If that doesn't work, format your phone. If you're rooted, backup any NECESSARY data, (no options, settings or anything like that, just in case it's related to the settings, but you can make a back up, just don't restore), and then reset device to factory default and see if that eliminates the issue.
Wait, are you rooted? On stock Android Galaxy Note 2? Or do you have any special changes done to your phone?

Are you on CM10?
I believe that this is a bug that has been hitting Samsung phones. It's either, a) a fault in the MMC chip, or b) a CM10 bug. I've had that happen 3 times to me, the 1st time I had no backups and lost over 10GB of media from my External SD Card. The other 2 times I was prevented and lost everything but had a backup. So protip : backup each time you have something new on your phone. Better safe than sorry.
Now, download this program and run it. It'll recover almost all the deleted photos from your SD : http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Hi, I dont know if I have CM10 :S .. i only know that I have anything as brand new (stock rom).
I found a solution but it`s not 100% working.
I downloaded Fish bowl gallery and go in setting>advanced>find missing photos> and than I select the maps where the photos are but are not shown in the stock gallery.
I waited till photos are added and now i have 100 photos (of 117 total) added in my stock gallery (but i still does not have other 17 photos)
Thank you

You should return your phone. If your pictures aren't showing up even after flashing an official rom then something is wrong.

Don't mean to revive an old thread but for those still looking for a row save file, the easiest way is to download the above files and manually rename the folder names. If you change them to end with an "_row" as opposed to the current "_na" you should be able to restore with Titanium Backup. I just tried it and things seems to be working :good:
Cheers,
