[Android Software Development] Marduc:
Thank you for your quick response

I tired to restore Nova Launcher with this method, but it still gives me the same "unfortunately nova launcher stopped working". Can it be that my backup is just corrupted? If so, how can i confirm that.

p.s. I forgot to mention that when i tried to restore system+data through safestrap before that i got all apps force closing leaving me with black screen and nothing else. That is why i start looking for alternative methods.
[Android Software Development] Marduc:
I had to play around a bit, but it did work. This is how i did it. I restored all apps via Nandroid Backup Manager and restore all DATA via Titanium Backup (from the same twrp backup).

Warning: TB restore takes a lot longer ( a LOOOOOT longer) than Nandroid manager.
[Android Software Development] Hypocritus:
Awseome! :laugh: Glad to hear that your method worked. What Android versions are you restoring from and to?
[Android Software Development] Marduc:
I had 5.0.1 OK2 custom rom. I decided to play around and messed up the whole system (making nandroid backup before that). When I tried to restore system through safestrap twrp i got all my apps force closing on me. As a result I had to flash back to the NB1 and update it through keep-root-method to OK2 and try to do it via nandroid manager.
[Android Software Development] GizmoTheGreen:
hey, it seems to be impossible to ge this app to read my TWRP of off my USB drive... other apps can access it just fine, why not this app too?
[Android Software Development] SirTurbo:
yes. i didnt read all the 134 pages^^ so maybe i missed something/the right answer.

Up to 2 days ago i used Android 4.x and then 5.x on my Note 1 and later the Note 3, all based on TW.

Was using an old 1.x version of Nandroid Manager which worked well - i only used it to rename my *** backups from Recory, early CWM, later TWRP. (TWRP through PhilZ) Went well, md5 etc etc...

Now i am using Android 6.0.1 and made an image using TWRP, too. Tried to rename - but Nandroid Manager resisted, said it would be not possible. installed last version of Nandroid Manager. Still the same.

Is there any known reason why my rename doesnt work anymore in general? or is it just my system that refuses?

Any suggestion what to use instead?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] canodroid15:
This app hasn't been updated in ages. I worked fine on 4.x & 5.x but with 6.x + its not fully compatible due to changes in permissions & the android OS. You can easily change the name of your backups while in TWRP recovery via file manager or while in the OS using any "root" file manager/browser.

?
[Android Software Development] SirTurbo:
Changing the name isnt the problem, in past it was "changing the name without leaving it unrecoverable":)

So i will try it when i have configurated the rest of my system - copying the backup to pc untouched, then trying to recover after wipe a touched version. Love my sd card:p

But till then i have much to do, Marshmallow is a bit mind**** imho. Or perhaps the ROM ported from Note5 to Note3, but i am fighting at many places right now... After revocery - successfull or not - i will post a little note;)
[Android Software Development] mocarela:
is this still alive?

It seems to me this could be a great app. Unfortunately it successfully restores just apps but never its data.

I tried to troubleshoot restore from TWRP and came to the conclusion that some data files get restored with wrong name or not restored at all. Some others get restored with wrong content.

I have no problem restoring the same stuff in a terminal by using tar (with a light speed comparing to the Nandroid Manager).

I presume it is just me having problems, since majority of you look satisfied with the functionality.

Also, is this app still actively developed/maintained?
[Android Software Development] RemusW:
Call log restore fails.

Thank you for a fantastic app it has already recovered my SMS message's so I purchased it.

Unfortunately it does not seem able to recover my call logs shows an error saying something about being unable to read the database and possibly being incompatible with my current LOS 14.1 rom.

Thank you for your time and efforts making and supporting this app I really appreciate it.
[Android Software Development] 1sin1:
Man could you find any solutions for this problem ..i have the same thing and i really need those datas

[Android Software Development] galaxy s4 nutjob:
I keep getting an error when pointing to my twrp folder. I'm using a modified twrp 3.1.1 for 4 cores on the Nexus 6p because my big cluster failed. Do you have an suggestions to make the app see my back ups

[Android Software Development] royalh:
looks like this has been pulled from the play store...
[Android Software Development] Jimmy Mossiba Floyd:
It was the best app for getting back a nandroid backup without going into recovery and without wiping actual data :/

I hope another developer takes the project :)
[Android Software Development] NextDroid:
It's gone... I was just about to buy the Pro version :/

[MENTION=4535362]H3R3T1C[/MENTION] Help!
[Android Software Development] xjames7:
what should i do? imgur.com/YNPpqnl
[Android Software Development] skuppej:
I was wondering this too when I attempted to get the latest version from Play Store.

Is the v2.4.1 attached to OP not the latest version?
[Android Software Development] skuppej:
2.4.1 only seems to be able to recover Apps, but hangs on Data.

Titanium Backup can recover both, but the button to select Missing Apps doesn't work.

B also requires that you copy your backup to the internal SD, or else it will not be discovered.

Fix: Select missing Apps in Nandoid Manager > restore only App > take a note of the apps that you restored > use Titanium Backup to restore the data.
[Android Software Development] m0han:
anyone interested could try 'mybackup pro' app. works fine backing up and restoring stuff.
[Android Software Development] nextheart:
Try 3C Toolbox Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.at)

or

oandbackup (https://f-droid.org/packages/dk.jens.backup/)

or

Swift Backup (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.swiftapps.swiftbackup)

or

Rom Toolbox Pro v6.0.7.0.
[Android Software Development] skuppej:
Hmm..some new names I've never heard of so I figure I'd give these a try..

- MyBackup Pro: Like a very lightweight backup tool. Cloud backupping works for call logs/apps/texts but uses RerWare's proprietary cloud servers. Limited space; need to take a backup beforehand.

Does not have app extraction from Nandroid backup functionality.

- 3C Toolbox Pro: Powerful/comprehensive app rom app. Similar to Titanium Backup + GravityBox + file explorer.

Does not have app extraction from Nandroid backup functionality.

- oandbackup: Essentially just the batch local backupping functionality stripped from TB.

Does not have app extraction from Nandroid backup functionality.

- Swift Backup: Easy-to-use backupping tool for apps messages and call logs/texts. Modern/stores in cloud (Google Drive). Similar to TB + SMS Backup+. Needs premium to unlock features.

Does not have app extraction from Nandroid backup functionality.

Need to take a backup beforehand.

- Rom Toolbox Pro: JRummy app. File manager + DNS changer + Auto start manager + terminal emulator + rom backup/restore tool. Quite old (last update Oct, 2016).

Does not have app extraction from Nandroid backup functionality.

Nothing special here!

Results-

Good apps,

but Nandroid Manager and Titanium Backup are the only apps still that I am aware of that will allow you to restore apps directly from a nandroid backup.

Swift Backup is a good backup option otherwise, but TB is still the holy grail and most reliable/feature-rich for your $

As mentioned before, if you wind up in a situation where your phone will not boot, then there is no way to take a manual backup using the tools above, hence the value of this rare functionality!
[Android Software Development] Sc4r3Crow:
Hey guys...

I would like to extract an important (for me) .db3 file from an existing nandroid backup. I've already used some apps and also Nandroid Manager, I've made it to extract this file with NM but it seems to be empy. It shouldn't be empty, but contain some data instead. While creating this nandroid backup, this file contained data...so it should be somewhere.

Is there an option for a deep scan or something, or is there anything else I have to consider to get it extracted successfully?

Thanks in advance...
[Android Software Development] DanielL.:
You can extract it with 7-ZIP on your PC
[Android Software Development] Sc4r3Crow:
Nope, tried that but it didn't work. I can extract some of the backup's files, but for others I get an error message...also for the file where the mentioned data should be.
[Android Software Development] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

I previously paid for this app and now I need it again, but it's been removed from the Play Store (as of 06/07/2018).

How can I get the Pro Unlock app? Or does the Developer have other apps in the Play Store so that I can get his email address and email him about it?

Thanks!

Dave

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

Just as a friendly FYI, so many developers write it, but there is no so word as "backupping". It simply does not exist.

Correctly stated: Backing Up

[Android Software Development] BlackBeast888:
Can it be used to restore text messages after a factory reset?

I never made a Nandroid backup before it looped and I did not know where to get the files from using TWRP Recovery.

I did not know how to get the text files from a soft brick so I just grabbed the files I could out of the device and did a factory reset and flash of the rom stock.

It is factory reset to S3 Telus SGH-i747m stock rom now.

Is it still able to get files from after a factory reset?
[Android Software Development] Co.okie4u:
What can we do now?

We should try to get the sources :/
[Android Software Development] RusherDude:

[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
A lot of people have been asking for Nandroid Manager to be updated so over the past few months I have been working on an update for the app. A lot of the old code was not very good so I am rebuilding the app from the ground up!

More info to follow soon but for now here are a few screenshots from the alpha build of version 3.0!

Can someone tell me what is the present status of Nandroid Manager? Does it work on Nougat?

Also what is the latest version? In the OP I see 2.4.1 but I have a KitKat phone that has v2.4.2 installed.

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] EEngineer:
I want to thank you for this - totally saved me! Nandroid Manager 2.4.2 showed me the difference between the installed and the backed up versions and I was able to select which apps to restore without the data!

i have troubles when trying to set path /mnt/storage/emulated/0/TWRP i'm with twrp-3.5.1_9-0-clover it says invalid path you must select your twrp or clockwork folder.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
In next build I'll change the text of the description so there is no more confusion. The new description will read: Restore the apps and app data from this nandroid backup. Information about apps in backup will be read. Once information is read you will be presented with a list of app you can restore!

[Android Software Development] woaloo:
So, if I want to install TWRP instead of my old cwm on my Galaxy S3 I9300, I can do it with your app ? Humm, seems to be great. Is this TWRP rom indépendant ? I am running Omega rom.

Do you think that your app is "better" with TWRP.

Thank you for your answer.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Yes, this app can install TWRP!

The twrp build should be rom independant. The app will download the same build of twrp that is supplied here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/114

The latest recovery image name for your device is openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-i9300.img when browsing the list of avaliable downloadable recoveries for your device in the app.

The app currenly is not "better" with twrp yet but it will be because I'm working on adding OpenRecoveryScript support to the app which will allow automoated flahsing of zip folders, 1 click restore for nandroid backups, and be albe to select what you want to backup for current rom from app and then be able to reboot into recovery and preform the backup without ever having to use the twrp interface.
[Android Software Development] woaloo:
Wow, seems to be great ! and do you plan the possibility of schedule backup ?
[Android Software Development] hadi_rena:
Nice idea but should be posted at online nandroid backup instead this. Op also created gui app for online nandroid backup.

The bug has been fixed. I'll PM the new build for you to try out.

I'll make this new build available for everyone else today once I have finished adding a few new features that I have been working on this morning.
[Android Software Development] :
Works flawlessly :D

Thanks a lot mate!

The install of recovery doesn't work though!

[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
The app has been updated! New version in first post.

What's New:

Beta 1

* Added support tar.a files.

* Improved detection of installed recovery for people using CWM based recoveries.

* Added ability to restore nandroid backups under 'Restore Data'. (See screenshot) ** It only works on devices that have TWRP 2.2+ or an unofficial or CWM based recovery. CWM recoveries installed from ROM Manager or the Official CWM site do not work with the scripting because only Rom Manager can create scripts for those recoveries.

* Build info about recovery is displayed to the user when selecting a new recovery to flash. (See screenshot)

* Recoveries can now be flashed from 'Explore Backup'.
[Android Software Development] wong.izzat:
You had listened to the user's request. Great apps & job.:thumbup:
[Android Software Development] jcpowell:
I always flash my recoveries through fastboot or the bootloader since I'm on HTC Inc4G, so I'm assuming flashing recovery through your app is safe and effective is this correct to your knowledge?
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Yeah any device using fastboot to flash recoveries is supported by this app.
[Android Software Development] m0han:
hi, any progress to report? a lot us are waiting eagerly for the new version.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
It is looking like I am ready to release version 3.0_alpha-1 sometime this week! This will be a complete rewrite of the original app so a lot of features are not fully working and this app will need to be tested on all android versions but for sure will not be fully working on android 11 and 12 for a while. More work will be need to be done to get it working on android 11 and 12! I will do a full post soon with what is working and not and what needs testing as well as all new working features and future features!
[Android Software Development] EngineerMind:
Excellent!

I am looking forward to checking out the new version :)
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Just a quick preview of one of the tools I have added to version 3.0...

I have gotten tired of using other adb over wifi apps so I decided to add it as a tool to my app complete with a quick settings tile!
[Android Software Development] m0han:
great! looking forward to checking it out. unfortunately, those running android 11 and 12 won't be able to use it for some time to come.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Version 3.0 Alpha-1 has been release! See the first post for info and download!

Please note that any previous version of Nandroid Manager must be uninstalled before installing this new version!
[Android Software Development] m0han:
suggestion: please state something akin to this in the op, so people on android 11 and/or 12 don't have to try yet.

a lot of features are not fully working and for sure will not be fully working on android 11 and 12 for a while.

edit: i tried this on android 11. installed, but keeps on asking for and fails to detect backups (folder path even after pointing to it). now to find a android 10 device to test the app, which i loved and used regularly in the past.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Thanks for the suggestion! I will add that to the first post.

What is the path to your backups on android 11?
[Android Software Development] m0han:
see screenshot
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
I think I may be able to fix this. Would it be ok if I PM you a test build to see I have fixed the problem?
[Android Software Development] m0han:
sure. please do. (i slept off)

edit

: the new test build is finding my nandroid backups without even having to show path (y) .

hope you get everything to work on android 11 and 12 soon. wish you well in your efforts.
[Android Software Development] H3R3T1C:
Thanks for your help! This fix in the test build gets me one step closer to getting this app working correctly on android 11 and 12.
