After installing the deodexed MA5 Rom, I I can't seem to get either Online Nandroid Backup or Manager working. ONandroid keeps asking to install script, but it never takes. Nandroid Manager says it requires busybox, which I already have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks.

Greetings,
I can't seem to find relevant information on my query. I have backed up my Desire Bravo stock rom using Nandroid. I would like to know if the following are possible:
1. Remove apps from imaged backed up by Nandroid. If it can, how?
2. If apps can be removed, can I flash the image back.
I have rooted the phone using Unrevoked, not s-off yet.
Please advise. Newbie here trying to learn and understand the phone better
Thank you.
Not really.
AFAIK, it is an image file (like .iso). However with some tricks you can edit it, but then it will be an MD5 mismatch - so it won't be good.
I installed su-3.0-beta4-efgh-Sense3.5.zip which is something to do with superuser ... I think, by accident. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250815)
And now, when I access Titanium Backup or any other app that required root, it tells me that I'm not rooted or that something went wrong with superuser.
Please help, how can I reverse this?
Many Thanks in Advance

nandroid? Reflash rom? Common sense really.
about superuser
Check your permissions in the superuser app options/settings and make sure titanium has su permission. If you dont have a superuser app, then you lost root. If you do then you do still have root, generally. Also make sure you have some sort of busybox installed, ive noticed that sometimes having a bad busybox or the beta busybox forces me to use the "force system busybox" etc options in titanium backup to work properly.
I am going crazy trying to figure out whats wrong with Titanium Backup. I am on a 4.3 rom (Tasks) and I made backups of my call logs/ sms and mms on android 4.2 and I can't find the option for it in Titanium Backup. I installed it from the playstore but its missing those restore options. I read that I needed to change the directory on android 4.3 to storage/emulated/legacy/Titanium Backup, I did that and still nothing. I also have supersu installed and grated permission to Titanium Backup, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i didn't face this problem at all

I had that problem too. Try installing an older version of titanium backup. Sounds weird but that's what worked for me.

Hello everyone,
I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, and installed CWM 6.0.2 I believe (summer 2012). I was using 4.3 Deodexed ROM and decided to upgrade to 4.4, so I mad a nandroid backup through CWM. Then I found out that 4.4 required me to update my CWM to 6.0.4.3, so I did. After upgrading CWM, I was unable to restore my old 6.0.2 backup. Is there any way to restore it, or do I have to downgrade CWM?
If I need to downgrade CWM, can I first perform a backup of my current 4.4 ROM and then downgrade, or is there a chance it will mess with old CWM?
Thanks in advance,
silentz0r
Sorry for bumping, I have noticed that after upgrading CWM, it made new directories into /sdcard and moved my old directories into /sdcard/0. I tried copying the contents of the old CWM directory into the new one (/blobs and /backup) and tried to restore, but still got the same error message notifying me that no backup is found. Is there no way to restore an old CWM backup with newer CWM?
If anyone ever has this problem, I suggest installing ROM Manager. My backups spontaneously started working through ROM Manager (even in CWM recovery). I have no idea why the backup could not be found before, but using this pretty much fixed itself. Marked as Solved.

Thanks for the heads up!
But shouldn't you just have made a back-up before CWM upgrade, then upgrade CWM, make another backup (just in case) and then install 4.4?
I am still on 4.3 and I will do it this way in the near future.
Hi everyone,
I guess I need some help... I'm on rooted stock and recently had to install busybox (for recovering my accidentally deleted image folder ). Now when I try to install the current OTA update, it says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents" and won't let me install the update. /system/xbin/nc is actually not existing currently (removed all the busybox links, just kept the busybox binary). Don't know if it was there before I installed busybox.
I tried to download and unpack a TWRP nandroid backup of my current software version in an attempt to find and restore any file possibly overwritten by busybox links, but there was no /system/xbin folder in the nandroid backup.
Any ideas how I might be able to install the OTA again? I don't want to flash stock again and backup/restore all my data. There has to be a way! :highfive:
Thx

Make a nandroid of your present ROM.
Then flash only the System part of the restore from the stock nandroid.
Only the System portion!
Then see how it goes.

That actually sounds quite smart. I'm going to give it a try tonight. I never knew you could just restore the system part of a nandroid backup. I'll have to figure out how to do that.

Under Advanced, you can restore just that portion and it'll be fixed to flash the OTA without touching any data.
