Hello guys. I have my Note3 for almost 4 years. I used to have stock 4.2.2, and with that rom CWM saved and restored backup normally. Now I made a clean install of RR-N-v5.8.3-20170526-hlte-Unofficial.zip.
I installed some apps and tried to make a backup. CWM (n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar) reported backup successiful, but it's not working. File Explorer HD reports "Unable to open" when I try to open backup's foler. Root Browser and USB sharing shows the folder empty. I'm afraid of trying to ask CWM to restore a backup.
Use TWRP to backup .

Hi
In preparation for a flash to stock (a la undercover and efrant), I backed up twice via cwm and downloaded to my PC via the browser server and also carried out app backups to each of drop box and box using Titanium.
Having flashed a stock image as described, I find that neither cwm backup works (unexpected end of archive and md5 mismatch) and when I restore either Titanium backup the data for the Safe Notes app isn't restored.
So my question is mainly: how do I ensure a reliable backup?
Secondly, does anyone have any ideas how to restore my important Safe Notes data?

i made a full apps backup and then flashed ORCA ROM 4.2.2 but when i try to restore the backup it restores only 2 apps(Solid explorer, Photo editor)
the backup was made using Nexus Root-toolkit, and without system apps ....... another thing is that when i try to flash Gapps through TWRP it says flashed successfully but nothing is actually installed or appears in my applications
Hey guys!
So yesterday, I installed the app 'Android Control Center'. I messed around with a few settings and ended up in a bootloop. I do not have anything backed up in Titanium backup. So I made a nandroid backup in the hope that id be able to restore my apps out of that by using nandroid manager, but all of my app data were not extracted from the nandroid. So now im planning to restore the nandroid backup and use TWRPs file manager to remove that apk and its data. Are there any other things I should do to fix this problem? Will this work??
Guys, any help is appreciated!!!
Hardly believe that app can cause your system into bootloop... anyway, if you want to try.
Titanium Backup can restore apps from Nandroid backup, preferably CWM tar backup. However, this function is currently having issues with Android 4.3, so if you want to reflash the ROM, pick ROM with 4.2.2.
I believe TWRP backup should also works, but I haven't try it before. If you need to use TWRP, do it without compression & encryption.
IMO your problem can be a simple fix by remove the faulty app and reflash the ROM.
just reflash your rom via recovery, dont wipe, you wont lose any data
Alright thanks for the response. I copied my TWRP backup to my PC, extracted it and now I'm trying to copy the data folder from my TWRP backup to my ROM's data folder. Hopefully, this will work.
PS - I removed the app and i reflashed the rom but that didn't seem to fix the problem.

Hello,
Next time please make a double post only after 24H without an answer, otherwise modify the one before.
CWM and TWRP recoveries don't backup and restore /preload partition, only Philz does. In that partition there are some system apps/services, without them you may have weird errors or something not working at all. The only way to restore stock ROM in your case is to reflash with Odin. Next time use Philz recovery to backup your stock ROM (enabling custom backup and including /preload) if you don't want to use Odin again

rooted and rommed a friend's note 3 to jasmine, and before we did it we upgraded titanium backup to the pro edition via marketplace, without realizing that it had deleted all three backups that were all in separate locations, one in the default location, one on the SD card and one in the phone's internal storage.
before I did anything to the phone rom wise I made a nandroid backup via twrp and I cannot boot it into an emulator successfully AND get the texts from it through installing titanium backup, creating a backup and copying it off, didn't work out.
so now what I need is a way to load up a nandroid backup without corrupting the backup. every time I try to restore the backup into the phone it bootloops, only thing I can think of that would interfere with it is the kernals, NC2/4. jasmine is currently running on NC2 and the stock firmware with the texts on it uses NC4, when I tried reflashing NC4 to the device after reintalling the backup it bootlooped, and vice versa with NC2.
thoughts/suggestions? sol on the texts?
thanks.
Never tried this but worth a shot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore

I'll give it a go.
followed the steps found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/general/extract-restore-sms-mms-contacts-call-t1370349
and had no success, doing the same via root explorer and nandroid manager to get the original files from the backup, nothing was restored.
I'm assuming that they're just gone after that?
rom manager text restore found nothing, quite a few were backed up though so who knows. not a good thing to lose them all.
