Hello everyone,
I was a noob when it came to rooting/custom rom flashing etc. and I always avoided doing it for my note 2. With the help of XDA and so many helpful threads, I was able to learn it easily(thanks to the contributing members). However, I am facing a bit of a problem with the restoration with the help of TWRP.
Initially, when I restored while using the stock 4.4.2 kitkat with root, it worked like a charm. After that I flashed CM-13 ROM made by Ivan. I was also able to recover app data for the google play signed in apps via wi-fi. I tried to restore after the new installation and there was no problem with the custom recovery, however when I booted up the phone, half my apps went missing and I was getting constant pop-ups that apps like settings, supersu, update have stopped working. I tried restoring again, but now I am not geting any display but just a greyish screen and the pop-ups just like before stating that the apps have stopped working.
Am I missing something? Do I need to do something else?
Thank you.
Hello and good evening,
you can't restore just data. Your device will miss some files in system partition and apps like SetupWizard will keep stopping.
The only thing, you can so is restoring the whole Backup.
The next time I suggest you to backup only Apps with Titanium-Backup and restore them after installing.
Kind regards

Yes, I restored the whole thing, that is the whole backup which was generated by TWRP on my my sd-card. And then I am getting these pop-ups and a greyish screen on my phone. Only the options generated by holding the power button-i.e. power off, restart etc. is getting displayed after holding it. I can't see anything else.

Hello,
I should mention I'm running the dark_hd CM9 rom, rooted S-OFF.
So earlier today I was in the bootloader and accidently hit Clear Storage. It brought up a black screen with an image of an open box and then my phone rebooted normally.. fat fingered it somehow. Oops.
Upon loading the OS it immediately asked me for my Google info and I knew something was wrong. All of my apps icons are there on the launcher screen, however none of them are installed except for the basic apps. Also, when I tried to install Titatium Backup again, it says 'Unfortunately, .. has stopped'. I tried to reinstall a few more apps and each one says 'Unfortunately...has stopped". Before I restored, I wanted to see if I could get back some of my data and make a fresh Titanium backup of it all.
I have a few apps like a a logbook program and my Heytell conversations that I would like to see if the data is still there before I do a full restore or a wipe. Is there any way I can fix this "Unfortunately" error? Also, if I do a restore, will my app data be saved or will it revert back to the info that was there when I did the backup? Thanks.

So you hit factory reset from the hboot menu? You could check /data/data and see if the settings for your apps are still there, but i doubt it. You should also check /data/app and see if the apps apk is still there. If it is there, delete it and then try reinstalling it again. If you do a backup, it will restore the data that was backed up. You can do an advanced restore and restore everything except data.

Did you have any apps moved to sdcard? As it almost sounds like that could be the case if some of the data for the phone like the launcher homescreen data is still intact but the apps were on the sdcard which would be part of storage.

I'm sorry it was CM9. Fixed. I had CM10 on the brain as I was getting read to flash the Pons CM10 ROM. I didn't have any luck recovering any of the data so I just wiped it and flashed a new rom. I was able to run Titanium and recovery the data but I still lost some since my last backup. Thanks anyways.
Hi all, i really need help here. I search through forums but still cant get any solution.
I rooted my s3 earlier today and freezing some stuff using titanium backup. It work fine until suddenly it got restart automatically. After that, i got stuck on the "Samsung" logo. I do not install any custom rom as i'm noob to all these things. I froze those apps and some bloat stuff according to some list i got from the internet.
What i can do to get my phone running back without losing any data? I forgot to back up using clockwork after i root my phone.
Please help!!!!!!

You can still backup now (if you have a custom recovery installed. if you don't, then i think there are some clockworkmod Odin flashables available, no idea where). Then when you erase, and boot up next time, use titanium to open the nandroid backup (because it can do that, as long as you have the full version, which you can just find cracked versions of), and it will add the whole nandroid backup to part of the "backed up list" in titanium. All the data should be preserved too (I don't rememebr if it also takes the cache).
and just a question to devs, is it even possible to cause boot loops by freezing bloat? I have never had such issues. I even froze my browser, the calendar, file manager, clock, and nearly every app in a clean AOSP build (did that for a benchmark once), and it hasn't bootlooped. Think there is something else? Some other factor?

I have never seen or heard freezing bloat to cause boot loops. He froze something he shouldn't have. Try Odin back to stock then re-root or leave stock. Don't do things you don't understand.
It sounds like you froze something you shouldn't have like this poster said. Before freezing in titanium always make a nandroid backup and do a quick Google search to make sure it's safe to freeze.
Hi, I used online nandroid Backup to do my ROM backup to external sdcard. While fiddling with some app installation, something I don't like happened and I wanted to restore my ROM, so I did CWM recovery and restore the backup that I already did. Restoration process was successful but after reboot, I got all kinds of pop-ups saying that "Unfortunately so-and-so has stopped" (or something to that extent) and it just wont stop popping-up, one after another. Even after it finally stopped, whenever I wanted to open an app, the whole cycle started again. What seemed to be the problem here? Did I do a bad backup or is it something else?
Appreciate your input. Thanks

I just reflashed the ROM and start all over again.
Still, why can't I just restored everything back to the way it was before?
Anybody?
Thanks a million

You mean do a full wipe and try restoring the backup again in recovery? And you can get back to the state that you were before?
I reflashed the ROM which is a hassle because you have to start again from scratch with all the settings and accounts.
Thanks
Okay, so i was stupid enough not to notice that this is a MOD for S4-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303360
Anyways, i installed the mod and now my notification bar is gone. Further, I keep getting "unfortunately #ffd7d7d7 has stopped working" every other minute. Also, it is taking very long to boot from power off.
Any solutions that don't involve in me losing my data?
I've tried installing the remove notification bar file from that post, but that didn't help
Thanks

Okay, I fixed it by installing the newest android update, however, now my phone has become very slow. Any suggestions?
Did you do a factory reset after installation?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No, i just installed the new firmware. I dont really want to lose all my data.
Is there a way to back it up that can allow me to restore it easily? Like an app or something which will restore everything- like whatsapp messages etc..

I assume that your phone is rooted.
Search for titanium backup in play store and backup all your apps. I'm not entirely sure if it will backup your messages and contacts, so I suggest that you use an app called super backup as well.
Try to reinstall your firmware and see if your phone is faster. And make sure you only backups application and not system settings, since those settings might make your phone slow again. I will also suggest that you transfer the backup folder to your computer, just to be on the safe side. Re-download the apps and restore your files after the installation
I'm not sure If this post covered all your questions, so feel free to ask me any questions that you might have
I posted something similar in the general questions subforum but of course there was no response.
I'm on stock rooted 4.3. If it matters, I ALWAYS get a message about gapps crashing.
Basically, I'm sick of ****Wiz and its continuous bulkiness and slowness. Tried a few ROMs, settled on PacMan. Trouble is there just seems to be NO way to restore my apps.
Titanium is no good because it breaks push notifications for any app that uses them - unacceptable.
The Play Store just refuses to act right. At first it wouldn't restore anything at all, then on one of my million flashes, I started restoring from Titanium one-by-one, then got even MORE frustrated and stopped. Now that list of about six apps is what the Play Store tries to "restore".
I've flashed and Nandroided back so many times because of this. And no matter HOW many times I manually sync, or how long I leave my phone on Wi-Fi to do it itself, when I flash it's those same six apps restoring.
Today I thought to make an update.zip in Titanium before flashing. Flashed the ROM, then Gapps. Tried the update.zip and it wouldn't work. Booted, then tried it. It worked, but didn't "reboot in 5 seconds"... had to battery pull after 10 minutes. Then the apps didn't have data. Titanium restored them and recommended a reboot. When I did that, the menu button no longer worked. At all.
I'm really ****ing sick of this. What am I supposed to do? If I have to stay on TouchWiz I'm getting rid of this phone. It's counterproductive at this point.
Are the custom ROMs based on the stock Samsung kernel? If not, that may be why your apps are crashing after being restored.

Well, they're not crashing. When I restore them with Titanium, everything works fine about them except push notifications and that just can't happen.
And the ROM I've chosen for now is PacMan. I don't think it is?
