Hi everyone,
I'm having issues with Nandroid backup and restore.
After flashing ARHD 17.1 from 17.0 without wiping, everytime I make a backup it says that there was an error backing up /system and when I you try to restore it, it says MD5 mismatch.
The latest backup that I was able to use was using the backup before I flashed 17.1.
Is there any way I could fix this without wiping? I'm on a vacation right now and don't have a computer handy.
Hope you can help me out! Thanks and advance happy new year!

Its always advisable to wipe data and cache b4 flashing the old backup or a new rom...its always good and prevents many issues...!!
U need a computer to solve the md5 sum mismatch error....after that if your backup is genuine (without problems) then it ll surely work..just some commands to execute...

Scroll through the first post and you will find the proper commands..!!
Cheers..!!
Thanks! Will try that when I return home from vacation.
I just read from the ARHD forum that you can flash without wiping if coming from another version.
How about my apps and their data? I not really sure if everything's backed up. How can I make sure?

You can backup the apps and their data by using titanium backup from the playstore..! i guess thats your best bet as you dont have computer handy...!! make backup by titanium backup and then upload the backup to some good cloud sharing sites and when your problem gets solved you can restore that backup..!!
:good:

Hmm, if you rename the backup with spaces, you'll get an md5 mismatch during restore, but no idea why you get one during backup.

That's what have heppened to me, MD5 mismatch, but after removing spaces from the name of the backup I was able to restore it.
Where does Nandroid save the backups? I might have to check.
Also, how do I use titanium backup? I don't know what option to select.
Hope you can help me out.

Just go to backup/restore (middle tab)
Then tap on the icon in upper right-hand corner, then you can select e.g. backup all user apps + system data.
Restore in the same manner. :good:
Thanks! So that's how you back things up! I was just running the 2 items under schedule and I'm not sure if that's it.
Thanks again and happy new year!
Cheers!

As the title states, is it possible to keep your progress from angry birds (or other games and apps) when flashing a new rom?
--Shadd
Use a back up app, save the app+data
This is the only app I backup with titanium free so I don't lose progress.
Dam now I know for next time

Titanium backup works great. Been using it since it was released. Just be weary about backing up and restoring system settings.

Hi,
I just flashed the McSenseless ROM and I can't remember how to best restore my data. I did perform a Nandroid backup before I flashed the ROM.
Thanks,

You should not restore data from a nandroid to a different rom, it can goof all types of stuff. They make apps that backup data.
Should have used titanium backup or something like that first.

What type of data do you want to restore? Nandroid just makes an image of your old system that can be used only to restore everything just how it was.

Yeah, you're right. Haven't flashed a ROM in a long time, and just couldn't remember the necessary steps. I do have Titanium backup. Doesn't do me any good now though. LOL

Not sure what I was thinking when I performed the Nandroid backup. Just wondering if there was a way to get my messages back. App data isn't a biggie for me.

Well do a nandroid of your current rom. Go back to your old rom with the nandroid you said you have. Download an app to back up your SMS make. Go back to the nandroid of the rom you want to use and redownload the app you used to backup your SMS and then restore.
I know is a lot of work but if yours SMS are that important then you will do it.
Good luck my friend

Yeah if sms is all you wanna save handcent SMS offers an account that backs them up. Also you can save a vcard of your contacts with most contact managers and easily restore contacts that way. Good luck!

I'm using gmail for my contacts, so they synch'ed immediately; not a problem. The sms messages aren't that important. Just thought there might be a way. If I decide that I need anything I'll do what Kratz17 proposed.
Thanks everyone. Really appreciate the insights!

Using Amon-RA 2.3, nandroid backup, Evo 4G, Sorry pretty new to this.
Restore a backup ? Did you do a full wipe before you restored it. That might help. I forgot to once and a bunch of my apps were missing but I did a full wipe and then restored and it was fine

Its generally accepted that the smelkus mod recovery is the way to go for our evo. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543
Ive never had a problem doing full restores with that. Some games need the data to be restored seperate via titianum backup I've found though.
Edit: Another thing may be that you made a nandroid before you installed gapps and such.
Thanx, working better with smelkus

Hey there, this is my first android phone and well,,, I do not fully understand the meaning of root. I do want to delete some of my stock apps and what not so i rooted my device from a tutorial, but I don't know where to go from here. I looked at a lot of forums on roms and backup and what not, but I just do not understand any of these technicalities, but really want too.
Can someone tell me how to delete and my stock apps and how to customize my phone?
Thank you!
Download and install the paid version of titanium backup, you can use this app to freeze all the app that you want to delete and backup all current apps. Then you can download and install a custom launcher from the market.
Check out the custom ROMS in the development thread. Always make a Nandroid backup before customizing anything and backup your efs folder in case you loose your IMEI number somewhere in the flashing process.

I'm currently using an older FrostyJB rom and would like to update to the latest version. The problem is that I've spent alot of time tweaking the settings, downloading apps, and tweaking app settings to my liking.
Is there a way I can save all the apps, app settings, and data? That way after I update to the latest rom version, I can just load it up and won't have to fiddle with downloading all the apps and setting them up again.
Nandroid backup!
From cwm (rom manager)or (goo manager) from the playstore! It does a whole backup of all you're stuff.
Also titanium backup's you're apps n stuff. Either or but if u want the whole thing I suggest a NANDROID BACKUP!!!
U BETTER AXXEEEEE SOMEONE ABOUT IT! dont forget it

Titanium backup look up a tutorial vids on YouTube. You can just select backup data and then restore it after wards. Make sure you only select data not system

All of what he said.
Also it might be safe to assume you can just flash over on top of the old version, just don't report bugs if you have some, if things start acting weird and you get force closes, then wipe and start over. Longest run on ever.

Yep. Titanium backup is what you need.
Me I use app2zip in order to backup my apps and what i like about it is that it makes a zip that you can flash right after you flash a rom.
It says that if your data is not erase it will restore it but it doesn't work all the time for me so I use a different app to backup apps and phone data to restore them.
More steps than TB but free

I don't think he's looking to restore a full backup such as a nandroid. He's wanting to flash a newer version of a rom and make sure all his settings are the same afterwards. I'm sure he wants to have all his messages and bookmarks and apps and widgets to all be there afterward.
Honestly, I don't think there is such an app as I would have found it by now. I hate flashing rom updates every other day and having to restore my messages (and finding out that the backup is from a week ago so I've lost a bunch), downloading my apps and having to reset the settings (usually forgetting an app or 2 every time), not having my bookmarks anymore, etc.
I know you can restore a lot of this stuff from TB, as I usually do, but I always had worries about restoring things from one build onto another for compatibility reasons and to avoid FC's and such. I don't really think there is a foolproof way of doing what he wants. It's a little safer to do this by hand but inevitably you will lose or forget some things along the way.
Using TB I encountered many problems after a frosty upgrade awhile back. Something about the file system? Has anyone encountered this, as I would also like to upgrade from an old nandroid frosty bk

Did you try to restore system data? If so, then that's the problem. Never do that for any reason (when updating the rom).
What I usually do is restore apps like evernote with data basically apps that have info on it. While others ones like Pandora without data in which I could start from Scratch without losing anything. If you want to keep actual settings really I think the only way to do it is if your upgrading the same rom to a different version and rom has to support it.
