CWM backup messages - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I made backup with cwm and now I want to restore only my sms when I restore data arc always resets at Sony Ericsson logo can you help me please?

try to wipe cache and dalvik cache in CWM then reboot..

Use Titanium Backup to back up only apps & data. You can restore whatever app you want without restoring other apps & data.
With CWM you create a whole system backup.

[Q] Reverting back to old backups

so currently im on fxp45 with doomlords kernel for CM7
everything is awesome first of all
problem is that i wanna try an MIUI rom but want to be able to go back on CM7 with everything i have right now
if i back up my system switch kernels, run MIUI ROM with appropriate kernel, then revert back to CM7 kernel can i restore to the backup i made b4?
greatly appreciate it
I tried it and i can confirm that it works. But before you restore you have to switch back to the freexperia kernel or doomkernel, wipe cache and user data in CWM recovery and then recover the backup, otherwise it won't work (at least it didn't work for me, unless i wiped the cache and user data).
Thank you I will try tommorrow

Backup restore ONLY apps, not data.
Because this restore backup data causes a lots force close for you.

I guess zainthesnipe was talking about a full system backup (via CWM recovery), there is no difference between app and data in those backups. After restore the complete ROM will be exactly like it has been before. Settings, apps, user data, just everything. I just don't know what happens, if some apps are stored on SD... haven't tested it yet.

[Q] Noob Nandroid Restore Question

I know this is probably a dumb question but I searched and can't find the answer.
I recently flashed CM10. Before I did that I made a nandroid backup of rooted TouchWiz.
I want to go back to rooted TouchWiz.
Does anything special need to be done before restoring the a nandroid backup?
Or is it as simple as just choosing the restore option and then selecting the correct backup.
Thanks.
Just choose restore option then wipe cache nd dalvik cache

So that's wipe cache and dalvik cache AFTER restore, correct?
Yes

When I restore from nandroid, I just restore.. No clearing etc but whatever makes you happy. Never had any problems restoring..

Wiping dalvik cache?

I use link2sd on my Xperia Play (NXT ROM) and thought I'd wipe my dalvik cache in CWM. After doing so however, my phone booted but displayed the low memory warning and some apps were missing. I rebooted again but my phone kept repeating my boot animation and didn't boot. I restored a recent nandroid backup but was wondering if anyone know why this happened? Also, is there a way to restore only my dalvik cache from a nandroid and get things to normal?
Thanks

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
AW: Wiping dalvik cache?
Isn't there normally an option in CWM for this under Backup/Restore if you choose something like Custom Restore?

I don't think there is. You'd have to restore data completely if you want to restore the dalvik cache i think. In the end i ended up buying Titanium Backup pro and extracted my apps and data from a nandroid backup i made of the system

Wipe everything !
Go to 'WIPE' and select 'FACTORY RESET' then wipe 'CACHE' and 'DALVIK CACHE' then reboot and start your ROM from scratch.

proper restore

hey if I've done a nandroid how would i properly restore it as far as wiping before my restore? thanks
Same as installing a rom never fails me, wipe system factory reset wipe caches and... restore

Just restore. No need to wipe anything as the old information is overwritten, not merged.
You can either wipe or simply restore your nandroid without manually wiping partitions. I personally just like to restore as wiping is already being done. If you notice, while running the restore process each partition you selected is being wiped upon restoring that specific partition.
