Hello.
I'm using HTC Backup app and I never had any problem with it, but this time it overwrited an older backup with a new one which I don't want because I changed a lot of things in my phone since the older backup, the worst part, it appears that the new backup overwrited the older one. Is there a way to recover my older backup? The HTC Backup App only displays in "History" the most recent backup.
Thanks.

Hi,
I've flashed roms many times before and always use the donate version of titanium backup to restore apps and settings.
But just now I've flashed 3 different roms and did a restore and all of my homescreen settings/widgets have gone and all of my htc widgets have disappeared (cannot be added back) after a restore and a reboot - the htc apps are there before I do a restore.
I'm unsure but before the flashes I just happen to delete my backup files from within titanium backup and then do a fresh backup (for housekeeping you could say). I'm now unable to use this backup without it deleting my htc widgets.
Any help?
Thanks.
Edit: I've just flashed another rom making sure I do a full wipe as always and all my apps are still there! Very strange .
Hi all,
I know that Titanium backs up apps+data,
does it back OS files ?
I had a corrupted rom on the Desire so I backed up data+apps (which were all working correctly), installed a different rom (CM 6.2). If I restore apps + data will I overwrite some of the Operating System files and corrupting it again ?
Thank You !!
It is not a good thing to back up in one ROM and restoring it in a differnt ROM.
You will never know what is causing the problem then. Fro restoring your phone to current status, do a nandroid backup once you root the device.
I know that I have seen this question asked before but I can't find the post. I broke my evo (let's call it #1) and I am trying to restore evo#1 CWM backup onto evo #2 the new phone that I just got. I have put the sdcard from evo#1 with its latest backup into evo#2 and have booted into recovery.
I remember seeing that you can't do a full restore but rather to use Advance Restore but I don't remember which components to restore and which not. I think that I restore all but WIMAX bacause WIMAX is different for each phone.
Anyone know ??

Generally, I don't believe it's recommended to restore a backup from one phone to another. However, I've seen reports that it it can be done. As you assumed, you are correct by NOT restoring the wimax. If you were to do that, it would restore the RSA keys of your old phone, overwriting your NEW RSA keys. You don't want to do that. So remove the wimax.img from your nandroid backup before you restore.
Also, I'm not positive on this, but I do believe that if your old backup was made on a certain hboot version, that you need to be on the same hboot version when restoring that backup. (lets say you when you created the backup, your hboot version was 2.10, then when you restore your backup, be sure the hboot version on the new phone is also 2.10). The reason I believe taht to be true, is because I had always had hboot .93 on my phone, and all backups I had ever made were when I was running .93 hboot. I then downgraded to the ENG .76 hboot, (to use fastboot), and I tried to restore a backup that had been created when I was on .93 hboot, and it did not go well. After the backup restored and I rebooted, it booted straight to fastboot, and that was the only place I could get. None of my old backups would restore. I then switched back to hboot .93, and my backups restore perfectly fine. So that is what led me to my conclusion. Good luck with your quest. ( i personally recommend just starting fresh, and not restoring an old backup, just to be safe)
k2buckley got you covered, but restoring a backup from an old phone to a new one WILL cause you problems, and the easiest way to avoid it is to not do it.
The best you can do is backup your apps via titanium backup and your launcher settings, transfer those folders to your new phone. When restoring the apps, do only app and data, NOT system settings.
Thank you both for the reply. Based upon your feedback I decided to do a clean install of everything.
You're welcome; just trying to make it smooth as possible.
Hey,
Guys I had a HTC Desire (SLCD version), fully rooted, S-Off, CM7 latest nightly onboard. Now a friend of a friend of a friend, also had a Desire (AMOLED version) but it was totally stock. He offered me a really good deal to swap handsets with him since he's a total noob as far as rooting etc and Android modding is concerned and he liked my setup and all.
So I made a NANDROID backup in recovery (CMW 3.2.0.0), pulled the mem card, put in a new one for him, and handed the handset to him. Now I was quite certain that if I root, S-Off, and put in the same mem card into the new handset, i'll be able to restore my whole setup onto this new phone.
But now that I am trying to restore the NANDROID using the same recovery, same HBOOT version (0.93), same S-off state and even the very same mem card, it won't restore my ROM :s
So now I am stuck with a plain old CM7 sitting on my handset, and I have to spend a good few hours setting it up like my old handset. I also have Titanium Backup of all my apps so all my Angry Birds hi scores are safe but I just don't wanna go through the hassle of restoring about 300 apps one by one as Titanium Backup does.
When I restore the NANDROID in recovery, it restores the boot, data, and a couple other things, and then suddenly goes back to the first screen of CWM recovery. Any ideas why its doing that?
One thing I noticed, is that my backup of cache is only 25kb. I thought this was weird so I tried restoring an even older backup in which cache image was about 4mb. But that restore also crashed like above at the exact same spot. Any ideas what's going on? Or should I just go ahead an use Titanium Backup to restore apps and setup the ROM manually?
DONT restore a nandroid made on a diffrent device...
best you can do:
use titanium to backup apps (or use mybackup root)
flash same rom on new device, set it up yourself and restore apps. this will take around 30mins i guess.

Totally agree.
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I cannot restore any apps from my nandroid backup onto my phone using Titanium Backup.
It opens the Nandroid backup correctly, and i can select apps to restore
It than says "Processing" for a while, and then skips to the last app and then says "Restore completed successfully", but no apps have been restored.
I cannot find this issue anywhere
Any help is welcome
Same issue
Depends what your selecting vs what you have permissions to do. Rooted? S-off? Restoring system apps? Restoring system settings?. Some things are not allowed to be restored.
Deselect all system apps, system settings, google apps and htc apps. You might have better luck.

Rooted
Trying to restore regular user apps
Nandroid Manager restores the apps but without data for some reason
Im willing to pay someone for a solution. I think this problem is device related in some way.

The simplest way I found, make a TWRP backup of your current ROM, restore your nand-backup, from there make backups of the apps you need, then restore the TWRP backup of current configuration. From there u will be able to restore needed apps.
Or submit this bug to TB team and wait for a fix.

My nandroid backup is half corrupted... The backup of the apps inside it are fine tho.
Not working for me either, which is a disappointment. Any solutions?

Try to install different versions and everything will turn out ® Titanium Backup - {Mod edit: Link deleted. Oswald Boelcke}
Hi all, i never found a solution to the issue.
I assume by some huge coincidence that both of my backups (nandroid and Titanium backup) were both corrupt. I cut my losses and started fresh, and uses older backups where necessary
