Hi all.
I backed up my i9195 stock ROM with TWRP (3.0.2 I believe) before installing CM13.
I wanted to go back to stock to restore some unsaved apps data, but was not able to restore the backup.
During first boot, after unlocking the SIM card I had hundreds of prompts saying "app xxx has stopped" (for all the apps on the phone I believe).
So I wiped Dalvik and cache, but after optimizing apps the phone got stuck on "starting apps" during boot. No way to go past this step.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks !
You should wipe daevil cache and cache before restoring data. And it might also help if In twrp file manager you rename andriod folder in sd card(phone memory) and external card (memory card).
Then do factory reset and wipe then restore.
OK thanks for the tip about the android folder (I did all the wipes I could do). Maybe I should try to reboot without SD card first?

So I completed step 2 of root today and decided to flash Fresh .5.3
Wiped data, but forgot to wipe SD card. Began to boot loop so I read that I would need to partition the SD card. I tried to Flash back to Fresh .2 in order to backup my SD card and began to boot loop there too.
So I go into recovery and partition (0,0)
I'm still boot looping Fresh .2 and I can't flash anything else (read: my backup) because I wiped the SD card.
Help would be greatly appreciated

SD card shouldnt do anything, wipe data and cache in recovory and then reflash .5.3, i had a bootloop and as soon as i turned it on i rooted and flashed .5.3, wiped data and cache and worked like a charm.
Will wiping the data (before ROM flash) also wipe the "SD Card" data? I know on other phones, that have a physical SD card, when you wipe data the SD data remains. But, with the Nexus having a virtual SD card, I didn't know what would happen.
In essence, I'm thinking Titanium Backup is useless unless you pull the backup data from the phone before flashing a new ROM, because the backed up data would be deleted with a data wipe for new ROM flash.

The "sd card" data remains. Nothing is messed with in that portion of memory. TiBu works great.

Thanks! I wondered what would happen with a data wipe.
If you flash a stock ROM via fastboot it WILL WIPE THE "SDCARD". EVERYTHING.
Basically:
Stock recovery data wipe/factory reset = SDcard wiped
Custom recovery data wipe/factory reset = SDcard untouched
So if you haven't rooted/CWM'd your phone yet, don't put anything big and important on the SDcard. If you have put stuff on your card just make a backup of it on your PC and then do the unlock/recovery install procedure. Then you'll be set. Titanium Backup will be back to working just like it does on any other phone once you have a custom recovery installed. No worrying about the SDcard getting wiped.
you'll definitely want to install a custom recovery if you're going to be wiping anything. Id highly recommend the clockwork touch recovery. The standard one is really a pain to use as the navigation is odd and its hard to select what you want.
^ I wonder as well, but I proceed without thinking about sdcard. Lucky enough our great dev took care of that. Btw, I didn't have time to see the recovery since when I got it I flash CWM immediately.

Hello,
I'm running the latest stable CM, and took a CWM backup. I wanted to revert back to stock to try a bunch of GPS fixes (not that any of them helped). Afterwards, I restored the backup, but all my photos and music are gone (there were not stored on the external SD card). Does CWM back up internal storage? Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks.
If you wiped internal storage to flash AOSP, then your pictures are gone, If you used a full wipe odin oneclick, that has removed and wiped internal storage as well. You'll need use special tools to recovery data from internal, hopefully you didn't wipe the device like 1-3 times as people do that to fully make sure the device is wiped properly.

If it was lollipop cm you tried, to go back to KitKat you have to wipe internal storage (data/media) or that will happen. Cwm does not backup internal SD, but it also does not wipe it unless you specifically wipe it. Wiping data does not wipe internal SD nor does a factory reset done in recovery.
I did a Clockworkmod backup (and also a titanium paid version backup) on my towel rooted Sprint GS 3, kitkat 4.4.2. I renamed the backup, using CWM's option to do so.
I then did a factory reset using the msl number (as directed by my carriers tech support because I was getting duplicate text messages).
I then discovered that my titanium backups were apparently not on my external sd card, but were in the internal storage.
Titanium also cannot appears to be somehow locked out of the sd card.
And oddly, when I installed the Waze app, all I get now is a black screen.
I then attempted to restore the phone using CWM (first time doing this)
When I attempted the restore, CWM did not find the backup on the SD card. I found the backup by going into "advanced" options and found it there in a directory called "SD1"
After restore of system and then restore of data,
The phone went into a loop, showing the message, " com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
Pressing "ok", just brings the message back over and over.
I tried wiping the Dalvik cache, and I tried booting into safe mode - no change.
I am supposed to do something different to get a Clockworkmod restore? I thought it would bring the phone back to it's exact state at the time of the backup using an image stored on the SD card.
And now I can't get at my Titanium backups unless I first get the CWM restore working so I get access since the titanium backup was, I believe, put in internal storage... (guess I need a separate thread about how to get titanium working... I can't get backup directory access with titanium after the factory reset)
How do I get CWM to do a restore from the image on my SD card?
Thanks for your thoughts and any help!

Hello,
I made a backup through TWRP to my lollipop rom.
Now Im trying to restore it and i get an error message - "no partitions to restore"
Any help please?
How did you make the backup? What did you check when creating it?
I made the backup through the twrp. i checked all the boxes (system,efs... )
Okay... Did you save it to internal storage, or sdcard? Also did you wipe your phone at all since the backup was made or before trying to restore?
On some TWRP builds, the restore option is not working properly. Do a full wipe and try restoring, if it does't work, you will need a clean install. Make backup of your data before this.
Also you can try updating the recovery image.
i saved it to internal storage then copied to external sd. after i installed other zip rom. when itreid to restore the twrp backup recognized by twrp but doesnt let me to check the boxes (system, efs...) as i wrote

Maybe the backup is corrupted somehow...
