My HTC Backup is Missing - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All hope you had a great Christmas and are starting the new year well
I am currently on Viper 3.2.1 and experiencing some issues. My internal and external card was a complete mess I was struggling to get my Multirom working correctly and I was experiencing problems with my sound on incoming calls just completely going.
So I completely uninstalled multirom and wiped the device entirely, then sideloaded a fresh copy of viper 3.2.1, however when I went to HTC backup to restore my apps and android wear apps the backups have completely disappeared. All I can see is the backup for my old One X and my Old M7 from March last year, I know there should be a backup because it was backing up last night. I have tried dropbox and gdrive but I cannot find the backups.
Any Ideas?

Solution
The problem was because for some reason my google account would not sign in at the start of the setup process, this was because I was flashing viper 3.2.0 them immediatley 3.2.1 OTA without first booting. If yiuy have this issue flash 3.2.0 boot setup signing into google+ and restore phone before flashing the 3.2.1 OTA.

[Q] HELP! Trouble with N7100

I've been using Android Revolution 9.2 and this morning installed 10.0. Everything was working fine for a while, then all of a sudden the GAPPS process started force-closing and I lost all access to the Play Store. I would click on the play store icon and it would just bounce me back to the launcher (in this case, Nova Launcher 2.0). I decided I need to reflash Android Rev HD 10.0 (I have CWM Recovery 6.0.1 installed). The AROMA installer would start, but it would always lock up at some point before the installation began, usually at the prompt to backup the efs partition, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. I haven't been able to get a clean flash started. I even tried to go back to 9.2, but the same thing is happening.
I did a factory reset hoping it would fix the problem, but the GAPPS process continues to crash and I can't access google to restore my apps. So I'm really up **** creek here. Am I looking at a bad RAM problem all of a sudden? (god, I hope not!).
Any help/advice would be welcome.

[Q] Lost Root Access after TiBackup?

Hey all,
I've been running CM 10.1 nightlies (currently on 03.09.13 nightly) and it was running fine yesterday. Last night I purchased the full version of Titanium Backup and installed it... I backed up all my "user apps" to my SD card and everything was fine. Overnight, I tried backing up to Google Drive and went to sleep while it was uploading. This morning it said "failed" something, so I figured I'd just try it later on tonight.
Then I started getting an error from Root Call Blocker saying it could not attain root access. Then I opened up TiBackup and the backup/restore list was completely empty. Next thing I know when I tried rebooting the phone, even TiBackup says the phone is no longer rooted. Anyone have any idea? I tried searching and ended up downloading and installing Superuser from the Android Market (couldn't believe it wasn't already on there?) but that didn't do anything to fix the problem.
Thanks!!
OK so... I decided to just re-flash CM10.1 nightly (the same version I mentioned in my original post) via CWM recovery and lo and behold everything is back to normal. Apps are recognizing that the phone is rooted and I've re-installed TiBackup and it's running the same.
Could anyone comment on what they think may have happened so that I can prevent this from happening in the future? Thanks!

Google Play Services issues

I like to switch up ROMs a lot, going back and forth between Sense ROMs and sometimes to AOSP/CM-based ones. Typically, I wipe everything and install from a fresh download, check MD5s, etc. I don't back up and restore apps with Titanium Backup either.
Today I reflashed Team Ecliptic Revamped v3. It booted fine, etc. I reinstalled a lot of apps fresh from the Play Store and set everything up, logging into the usual Facebook, Twitter, eBay, etc.
Then at some point I wanted to get Xposed installed along with some modules and had to reboot. When I did, everything I'd installed from the Play Store was gone. l tried to update Google Play Services but it wouldn't allow it. I cleared data from anything/everything that I thought could be involved, but that did no good. Then I tried removing my Google account and reinstating it. Now it wouldn't allow me to log into Google at all.
I had no choice but to restore a Nandroid of another ROM.
Then I tried flashing the port of the OnePlus CM version (v2), which ran great for me a week or two ago. All of the above happened again.
What am I missing here? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
p.s. Is it just me or are the custom recoveries acting screwy lately? I have the darndest time getting the latest TWRP (MDMower's 2.7.1.3-beta) to flash anything, and the latest Philz I could find for M7VZW, which I think goes back to early July, isn't much better.

TWRP updated today to 2.8 (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7vzw)
as for playstore, i havent heard of this before. Try the new TWRP and do a full wipe and report back and i will try to troubleshoot with you.
I installed the new TWRP version but it makes no difference. I reflashed One Plus CM 11 as a test. It flashed fine, ran great, and then I rebooted for Xposed and... boom. Same problem. Maybe I need to RUU and start fresh?

google play service don't work after update CM 12.1

Hello everyone,
I'm either new in this forum and noob with android.
Yesterday i made the terrible choice to tap on the cyanogenmod update (i had the 27/11/14 release of cmn 12 i think).
After the installation was done i had the device in rebooting loop so i entered the recovery mode and after some random wipe and restore i finally had the phone working with the 12.1 release, but without any data.
i tried to restore with a backup i had from a week ago but after that the phone went again in the rebooting issue.
i've installed again the new version of cyanogenmod hoping to backup data from google, but the fact is that i cannot because the google play services crashes continuosly so i can't use the play store neither (i've installed it manually, but it doesn't allow me to install anything cause it recognize me as users with the app already installed, although it isn't true).
i don't know how to deal with softwares and such so i thought to try with a new google users, install google again and then restore my original user, but the crashing of the google services let me think it could be another bad choice.
so, there is anyone who knows how to fix that problem or where do i have to look to find crucial informations about it and describe it better?
thanks in advance to everyone, have a nice one

CM13 Update, setup wizard problem

Hello everyone,
So I installed CM13 as an update from 12.1 but it was stuck on the boot logo, then it counts up the updates, then does the same thing again in an endless loop.
I decided to do a clean install, so I wiped cache, system and data and installed CM13, then I installed Gapps6 stock with the exclusion of some general apps I can get from Play store, since installing stock without excludes renders error 70
Anyway, everything went well, but on the wizard setup I was expecting to see Google ask me to import apps from specific devices that was used on specific dates. But all I got was the NFC restore method.
What did I miss here? and what can I do to get to restore all my setting from before I updated the phone?
I know that option existed in Lollipop, as I have used the option when I clean installed CM12.1 many times.
Thanks all
I have heard, but have not yet tested, that you need to delete the cmsetupidwizard (or whatever it's named) before the initial boot.
