[Q] ROM Manager - Backup ROM doesn't backup the full ROM

Hi,
I did a backup of my ROM with ROM Manager, because I wanted to try and see the new 2.3 Gingerbread Cyanogenmod7. All was fine and well, i went to backup ROM and it backed up or so I thought (-.-'). I went and copy the backup from my SD card to my computer just and just in case also made a copy of my contacts (thank god for that).
Then I installed the new C7 2.3 ROM via ROM Manager and it asked me if I want to backup the ROM (which i already did) and to wipe data/cache. I checked the wipe data/cache and went on with the boot and everything. The installation was successfull and the C7 is great, but then i wanted to go back to my Rooted HTC Sense ROM.
I went back to ROM Manager and went for recover ROMs and did a recovery. Went the phone booted all my files, applications, sms's and every little thing was deleted.
Now my question is this, how is that possible, i made a backup BEFORE checking the wipe data/cache ?
Is there a way to get my data back ?? I still have the backup on my computer.
Thanks for all the comments and help...

Hmm... you mean current message and contact is missing when you restored to 2.2?

Yes messages, contacts and applications (for apps im not too worried).
And I've restored back to 2.1 !
I never went to froyo 2.2.

[Q] Google services framework stopped after nandroid restore.

Hi,
After rooting and trying some ROM's out i wanted to go back to an 'old' ROM from which I had a nandroid backup. It went smooth the first time but the second time I got a error saying that Google services framework stopped working.
Only the stock app worked and none of my other installed apps did.
I couldn't even open the settings menu nor could i open Titanium backup.
I then reflashed the ROM and manually copied some TB backup folders but lost all other data.
Someone has an idea about this?

I'm using Amon_RA atm.

Still no fix?...

try re-flashing recovery and then do the restore again. If you don't know how check the guide in my link.

[Q] Bootloop after data wipe - what's wrong?!

I am currently developing a stock-based ICS ROM. I have modded everything as I wanted, installed new apps, lockscreen, etc. Everything works perfectly! I would like to share my ROM with other Anzu users. I want to do it via sharing Nandroid backup. After full wipe and backup I get a bootloop, but after restoring the same ROM with my data, everything works preety fine. What do I have to do to avoid bootloop? I'm gonna make a flashable zip in the future, but now I want to share my ROM in backup. PLEASE, HELP!
Here is what I EXACTLY do:
Flash official Sony ICS via Flashtool
Root
Flash mods like lockscreen, supercharge, etc.
Mod build.prop with self-made (and not) tweaks
Change name of ROM in build.prop
Remove bloatware with for example Titanium Backup or Uninstaller Pro
Make backup
Full Wipe
Next backup
Bootloop
Restore with 1st backup WITH data, for example apps
Reboot
Everything works preety fine!
On my face appears "WTF?!" face
????????
HELP

Do you Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Cache etc before restore?

did you changed kernel?
if you chanege the name of the backup, things will not work.

yes....not change the name of backup...
moreover if you have flashed a zip and it didn't go fine....there is a possibility that the istallation have spoiled the backup or file of kernel...(for all I know it happened to me in this way)

Yes Guys i do make a full wipe before restore, and after making a backup i transfer it to pc for Safe storage, so whenever i need it i transfer it back to cloclworkmod folder

If u flash custom kernel, u need to also flash wifi modules before rebooting after restore...

I dont Flash custom Kernel, everything is stock, by the way My Arc is Bootlocked so customs kernels

While you make backup does cwm show any errors? have you checked the log ? Does the restore process complete without errors ? And do you fix permissions and mount system /data etc before restoring ?

Then do it ! and try again .

This is what is happening to me. Lets say am Running on GB Rom e.g X-Gamer, now i want to try lets say Optimax Rom, i backup my Current ROM which is X-Gamer, then i try to restore it to see if its works, and i find that it works. so Flash ICS Original Sony ROM and root it. in the end i Have Sony Stock ROM.587 and CWM installed. So far am ok.
Now i Install ICS based ROM like Optimax or JellySandwhich. Everything goes Fine, so i Backup That ROM too and keep a copy on my Laptop. Now i decide to go to my old backup of X-Gamer, i Boot to recovery do a full wipe + i mount data/system and fix permission as i have CWM 5.5.0.4. which has permission option in it. i continue to restore my X-Gamer Backup. After Finnishing of course without error. i reboot the phone and Bam!!. Bootloop.
I reflash GB.42 with Flashtool, root it and install CWM. Boot to recovery and try to restore my X-Gamer backup, and WOLA!! it's restored.
same with ICS Backup. Reflash Stcok Rom root it and restore the ICS backup i made, and it works.
As i know i may be wrong (am a noob) The backup is a snapshot of the rom, so regardless of what rom someone is running when he restores the Backup, he should be back to that ROM in the backup and not to reflash first the corresponding Stock ROM in order for the Backup to work.
Please somebody help and shade some light

Have you used the same recovery all the time? Switching recoveries can "sometimes" not flash backups properly. Either that or it didn't back it up properly in the first place. TBH there's not much we can can do. The backup is corrupted and for that it is causing bootloops and braking things. All I can suggest to you is to reinstall a fresh install of the ROM and then try an advanced restore of your applications and data just not the Boot.img or the system.img

I have tried to use same recovery, but same result. restoring backup across different ROM does not work for me it seems. I have to have a working corresponding rom as the backup am trying to Resotre. for example if i want to restore my backup of GB ROM, i have to have a working GB Rom already on Phone. I Can't restore an ICS Rom while my Phone is On GB and vice verser.

Flashing an ftf also flashes the kernel, so restoring a GB backup when you originally installed ICS or vice versa will give you issues as CWM doesn't backup your kernel.

Thanks XperienceD for Clarifying. now i undersatnd. Just wanted to ask is it possible to flash A GB Sock Kernel on an ICS ROM or vice versa, then using the backup to restore thru CWM, as this will save time than to reflash the ftf, root it and install CWM just only to restore your backup.

This is why it's better to unlock your BL, then it's just a flash of a kernel then restoring your backup.

I think you need to flash the same rom to get it right, but I'm not sure. I think you should make a cwm backup, flash cm7 again, install Nandroid Manager and restore the apps, data and such. If that doesn't work, try Titanium Backup Pro and click on the extract from nandroid button. Maybe that works! :fingers-crossed:
