Anyone on a gs4 using latest twrp 2.6.0.3 having issues? I cannot get anything to restore from a backup. If I revert back to twrp 2.5.x.x I can get most of the stuff restored but restore of user apps usually gets stuck during restore which requires me to force stop app and restart from last app restored
[Android Software Development] meduza:
You did a backup using online nandroid, right?

Boot into your recovery and just restore it. I mean the whole ROM backup or just the efs partition.

hi

i have a Problem with restoring apps+date.

it "hangs" after some time and some apps have allways the Status "running". it seems the Manager is hanging in a Loop.

also at restoring novalauncher. here it hangs at restoring a widget.

i thought maybe it needs time, but now it runs for over an hour. i tried it several times, but it will not finish the retoring. its frustrating :/

i have a Sony Xperia Z with latest Firmware (10.3.1.A.2.67).

i try to restore from a with onlineNandroid created clockwork-recovery.

i updated binarys now, but it seems that it dont works anyways :/

it would be greate if i could stop/cancel the restoring without restarting the phone allways ...

So if you really want to have that app data, you could restore just the whole data partition from your CWM recovery. Or try to restore app data with TB.

[Android Software Development] TrojanDroid:
How'd you get that working? I just flashed CM 10.2 today and the default SU seems to work with everything BUT nandroid manager :(

So... I downloaded the SuperSU zip and installed that and then NM said I needed root. Then I disabled the built in SU which... deleted the root binary so I'm restoring the nandroid I did earlier today.

Anyway, TLDR how'd you get the correct SU working?
[Android Software Development] meduza:
When the new SU asked for permissions for NM, I went to settings, there is an option to switch to other SU app. After that I rebooted.

m.
[Android Software Development] TrojanDroid:
Hm, I'll have to try again.
[Android Software Development] meduza:
...I flashed the new one via CWM...

[Android Software Development] Perseus:
Afraid still hates the CM's built in SU app for 4.3. It gave me the same message to get SuperSU or CWM's SU app. I don't want to follow the route above here as the last time I tried, I lost Root with wrong update to SU binary.
[Android Software Development] jesterpaul:
Wierd issue here.

Used this application.along with online nandroid backup without issues for ages.

Then I did a full data partition wipe in TWRP recovery, and phone wouldn't boot after ROM and GAPPS reinstall. I solved that when I removed external SD card, so after backing up contents I formatted that too. Since then my Carbon nightly release ROM has really been flying.

The wired thing is I can no longer to backups with online nandroid backup. It goes on backing up data literally for hours, eventually crashing and backup file is still under 500MB in size.

My old backups used to be between 2.5 and 3.2 GB. in size depending on ROM and apps I've installed.

If I boot into recovery I can make a backup, but it's over 11GB in size. A lot bigger than my system and apps actually is.

On the boot app shows alert that app doesn't support integrated supersuser and recommend to download SuperSU (not in this life!!!) or CWM superuser. But CWM superuser integrated in CM10.2! How to fix it? Is so big differences between CWM supersuer and integrated CWM superuser? I can't understand...

Clever_man,

Can you clarify for me...bottom line....why you refer to SuperSU with such disregard.

Nandroid Manager doesn't restore SMS on MIUI from a backup of Samsung rom on GT-i9100
[Android Software Development] clever_man:
It's just my personal opinion, i don't like supersu.
[Android Software Development] Perseus:
I had already mentioned the same question as well. I have Slim Bean 4.3 which uses some of CM Codebase. It too has the integrated CM Superuser.

Your opinion of SuperSU is the same thing I have for the Superuser app. I actually like Supersu. But then each to their own.

I have a couple of issues with Nandroid Manager Pro as of late.

1) When exploring backups, folders and files all show up twice.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3e0femrxi0ktuah/Screenshot_2013-10-07-17-12-27.png

https://www.dropbox.com/s/flas057i4tzvl0g/Screenshot_2013-10-07-17-12-53.png

2) When extracting .ogg files (from system/media/ringtones, notifications, etc.), the files extract successfully (the file sizes are correct), but they are corrupted somehow. They will not play on the phone, and thus fail when set as ringtones, notifications, etc.

Using TWRP and backups are saved to external SD. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Edit: This is a brand new flash of LiquidSmooth 2.10, and I installed Nandroid Manager Pro from scratch and did not restore any data/settings.
[Android Software Development] famewolf:
I'm using carbon rom on my Nook HD+ and your app does not recognize the SU app as being the "cyanogenmod SU" even though it is....thus it prevents me from being able to use the app...please either fix this or allow a user override if we know the su works.

Hi

How to restore contact?

I need to restore my contact backup whith this app But i FONT know How to do this!

There is No option

Such as restore SMS data and...

2-any solution?

((.....بیخیال حرفهایی که.. تو دلم جا مونده.... ))
[Android Software Development] 78Staff:
Same with Task's AOKP 4.3. Does not recognize/allow the built in opensource Superuser, and prompts to download SuperSu or Superuser app.

Oddly enough, I ran ONB (which still is generating extremely oversize backups which take 4-5x as long as they used to) and hit "View in Nandroid Manager" out of habit and it opened up fine. Subsequent launches of Nandroid Manager (pro) seem to work as normal. So is it a true requirement (seems not), or is it just a startup check to push users to SuperSU/Superuser for some reason.

I should state, I am normally a SuperSU Pro user anyway, I just haven't installed it yet on this build as I am experimenting with the built-in superuser of the rom.

[FIX] Get Root Back

I also had the same problem where I lost root!

This is how I got it back though:

Open SuperSU

Go to settings

Un-check Enable Superuser

Re-check Enable Superuser

That gave me root back for some reason and Nandroid Manager worked!

BTW, I'm on a Galaxy s3 (I747) with the AOSP-based PAC-ROM, Android version 4.3

nandroid manager with smelkus 4.3 recovery

I have smelkus4.3 recovery and i installed nandroid manager as an alternative to titanium backup. When i open nandroid manager it says it cant find my nandroid directory and it lists my recovery as unknown. i also get a message abiut a log fike missibg and it telks me to boot into recovery and back into system to fix but it didnt fix it. Any suggestions???
[Android Software Development] scandiun:
I guess that refers to an encryption done by TWRP, not that the device is encrypted.
[Android Software Development] sordna:
Correct, TWRP 2.6 added this feature.
[Android Software Development] schlager P.:
Can anyone help me with the following: I bought the app, MD5 is all OK, but restoring apps doesn't work with the message "segmentation fault" and when restoring texts it says "no back up data found", which is strange 'cause they're in the backup (I checked), same goes for wifi access points. It does work when in CWM I chose "restore", but I don't want to restore both system & apps. What's causing this?
[Android Software Development] Perseus:
Yes I did. When I opened Nandroid Manager first, it gave that error. So I closed it and then tried opening my TWRP Nandroid with the App. It waited for SU Permissions for a bit and then gave the same error again.
[Android Software Development] explorer-10:

[Android Software Development] molitar:
App works great. just got to avoid that online nandroid backup.. it does not work! The backup was almost 1GB larger than standard recovery nandroid backup and when I restored the backup it brought my system to a factory wipe state! AVOID that backup like the plague unless you have other backups because it is unreliable and will not restore correctly.
[Android Software Development] kantjer:
Or learn how to use it. It's been working great for many, I have done quite a few restores and never had any problems.

If your backups are so much bigger with the script then you must be using the wrong settings, don't blame the script.
[Android Software Development] cdzo72:
Absolutely nothing wrong with the online nandroid app or script. Just as kantjer said... YOU are doing something wrong
[Android Software Development] SportingChap:
Goodness gracious, people sure do get defensive quickly around here. Just because the app works for some people doesn't mean that it works perfectly for all people. So many are quick to say, "you're doing something wrong." He might be, but you're not there... How do you know? I've posted my problem. Twenty days and no response. I've been flashing since the Windows Mobile days - I know what I'm doing. But if I'm doing something wrong, I sure would like to know what. I use this app sparingly, but as the previous poster said, I absolutely don't rely on it.
[Android Software Development] molitar:
Thanks and yes there isn't much you can do wrong except do a custom backup which I did not do. The developer has asked to look at my online backup and after looking at that he has asked for my TWRP backup log and he has not gotten back yet so he most likely has found a problem or that and is going through it I suspect. BTW in that thread I am not the only one that has recovery problems another person made a backup than recovered and it failed.. it was more like a factory restore starting over than a recover.
[Android Software Development] LillieBennett:
I have been using Online Nandroid Backup and it's GUI for awhile now. I do an online backup then boot into TWRP recovery and restore to test the backup; it has never failed.

I follow this thread because I am hopeful that Nandroid Manager will morph into a full recovery option for those stuck with locked bootloaders and are unable to install a custom recovery.

[Android Software Development] isaak:
This will restore preload partition? I don't find a way, except exploring and extracting entire directory from backup.

I'm not sure it can be overwritten correctly with this method.
[Android Software Development] LillieBennett:
As I understand it an incremental is about saving storage not time, there is still the overhead of detecting what has changed.

Lillie via LG Spectrum (waiting for N3 DE) & tapatalk
[Android Software Development] kantjer:
There is a blob folder that contains the actual incremental backups. You can't compare the sizes of the backup folders themselves.
[Android Software Development] cdzo72:
And DO NOT try to modify, delete or rename ANYTHING in that blobs folder or else you will render your backups useless...

But for the most part most stay away from the incremental backups because it wreacks havoc on media scanner at boot... there are THOUSANDS of files in that folder
[Android Software Development] DrewYK:
Nandroid Manager 1.4 and TWRP 2.6.3.0 cannot partially restore...

I am using a Galaxy Note 2 (i317) with TWRP 2.6.0.3

I recently upgraded my ROM:

1) Created Backup in TWRP

2) Updated ROM

3) Created backup, in TWRP (after some messages and a call came in, installed one app as a test).

4) Installed NM

5) Attempted partial restore of apps and data from backup created in step 1.

I have discovered the following:

- I cannot partially restore anything using NM.

- I can examine the contents of the backup files in NM.

- I cannot restore text messages.

For example: in NM I go to "Explore Backup" and select a "data.ext4.win" then browse to "app/", I see my applications. Next I go to "Restore Data" and when I click on "Restore Apps + Data", "User Apps+Data" It begins to read "data.ext4.win", informs me that it is "Reading apps info..." for 66 apps, aborts after 9 and states "No apps found in this backup."

When I attempt to restore text messages I get "Could not read database. The database format may be different than the format used on this current rom! Full Error: file is encrypted or is not a database (code 26), {sic} Nothing was restored."

I receive these same errors for both backups (1 and 3, above) created by TWRP.

TWRP is able to perform full restores using either backup file, so I do not suspect the data is corrupted and, since I can read the contents of "data.ext4.win" in NM I am guessing that the files are not encrypted.

Is this an issue with TWRP or NM?

Is there a fix?

The app needs an update to deal with KitKat's new SMS system. Only the "registered" SMS app can add to the SMS database, and only one app can be "registered" at a time.

Apparently the guys at AirDroid found a way around this, as they've already pushed an update that works on my 4.4 build.

[Android Software Development] dstruct2k:
The attached log shows nothing useful. Are you certain you've allowed root access to Nandroid Manager? The error in the first screenshot makes it seem like the app doesn't have permission to either install those tools or use the ones that come with your system. Check your root app, or install SuperSU. You could also try running Busybox Installer to make sure your Busybox is up to date.

[Android Software Development] dstruct2k:
Try going into your recovery and wiping /cache and dalvik-cache, then running the fix permissions (still in recovery)

If the app still doesn't work after that, then something is denying it permissions; likely SuperSU. Reinstall it and manually allow Nandroid Manager.
