Old phones input mic is broken, getting a new one. Both are 16gb ones, backed up everything with Titanium and created a nandroid backup, then copied everything from the storage to a USB stick.
I know it's not as simple as installing TWRP on the new phone and restoring it because the serial is different, but is there any way to modify the old backup so it can restore on the new phone? For example if I create a nandroid backup on the new phone and copy certain files/dirs from the old phones backup to the new one, will the restore work? Or am I just gonna have to unlock / root / install new factory images / rom / gapps / kernel blabla from scratch and then restore with titanium backup and copy the storage folder over?
Thanks in advance.

I made a backup when i first decided to flash a ROM on my phone, but i didn't know about apps like titanium backup at that time, where i can just backup an app or game and also backup the data along with it.
is there a way to get into any of the image files from the nandroid backup and retrieve data like game saves/data and stuff?
You could always backup your current ROM, restore the old ROM, install titanium, restore your current ROM and use titanium to get back the old stuff.

Do a search for a tool like unyaffs. You can use it to extract the data partition from your nandroid backup. Then you can grab the data from whatever apps you are trying to restore individually and copy the files back to your phone.
How to Recover / back up HTC Wildfire s ???
Anyone can help me please
First of all why would you make two threads with same question but different title in the same section? :X
Here's your answer:
Contacts: Sync to google or go to contacts and export the contacts. Copy the file from memory card to pc.
Messages: download sms backup and restore app from market or use titanium backup if you have root.
Apps: If you have root you can easily backup all the apps and data by using titanium backup or you can use app's options to backup (might not have).
Nandroid: If you are looking to install a new rom, you may make a nandroid backup from cwm to restore it later on.
Also don't forget to copy all sd card data to pc.
I had to have my note2 replaced I did a twrp backup placed it on new phone in the backup twrp folder but it is not recognized. Anyone have any possible solutions? Really all I'm after is game data that was backed up,and I'm not sure where to find that particular file in the backup thanks.
pretty sure u wouldnt wanna do a full nandroid restore of your partitions to another device... but as far as your game data goes.... you can use titanium backup to recover the apk and the game data by extracting from the nandroid backup file.
I've tried to do this before. It won't work.

Hey buddy. New device just start fresh. Safest way...
Hey,
I was on the same boat as u. I got it to work. I can remember the specifics at the moment but gist of it is that twrp creates a specific backup folder unique to each device. Open up an file browser and navigate over to where u have your backup. If theyre o. Your sd card it should be TWRP > BACKUPS > (Here u should find 2 folders with a bunch of random letters and numbers)
Those 2 folders are your backup folders. One was from your old device and the other is the folder twrp created for your new device.
When u reeboot into recovery, twrp wont recognize the old backup folder since it was unique to your old phone.
Long story short. Lol. Just go into the old folder from the file browser and copy the backup to the new back up folder.
After that, delete the old backup folder. Your backup should then show up when you boot into recovery.
As for which is the old and which is the new folder. My best bet is tbat the new folder is empty and the old folder has your backup.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if you need more help.
I'm just trying to understand.
I know how to make a Nandroid backup using TWRP. And I know I can use this b/u to restore the system.
If, instead of the Nandroid, I copy every thing on the Nexus 7 to my pc, including the root drive, would recopying all those files back to the tablet restore the system in the same way, or not?
How is the Nandroid b/u different?
Thanks.
Hi, on my previous phones I used TWRP to create full backups of my phone. My A2 lite is rooted with Magisk and I decided to keep the stock recovery to simplify OTA updates (also there is no official TWRP build available supporting encryption). The phone is already setup completely and I don't want to start all over again so formatting is not an option. Still I want to be able to create a full backup in case something goes wrong or the phone gets damaged. Is there a way to do this or do I have to continue with SD and TB backups? Thanks in advance.
nice q >>>waiting for an answer ???
I used Titanium Backup before. But now I'm using Migrate for backups.
My backup is TB and rsync of /sdcard to a server at home (automated overnight).
I never bothered getting anything else setup. I try not to brick my devices
I did have to restore a few times when I first got the phone, until I figures out how to recover from Magisk/xposed errors without factory reset.
i prefer Titanium Backup method with batch file to backup folders i need from phone memory to PC. of course i backup Titanium Backup folder too,
minimal adb&fastboot package is installed (portable) so i can perform below backup:
backup.bat
these example lines inside
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/DCIM
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Pictures
