[FIX] Fingerprint doesn't register after TWRP restore

Hello everyone. I have figured out how to remove registered fingerprints without having to factory reset your device. So, when you create a backup and forget to delete them, you're not SOL when you restore.

Flash this file in recovery and you should be good.

What does it do? Simple, it removes /data/validity/template.db

NOTE: If you have your lock screen set up for fingerprints, this will not reset the lock screen. Upon boot, it will still think you're set up to unlock with fingerprints. You can simply use your backup password to get into your phone then go into settings and set up your fingerprints again. OR if you want, you can remove locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, and locksettings.db-wal from /data/system/ while in recovery.

No photos,datas...after TWRP backup restore

So I restored my twrp backup to my phone.

Restarted the phone, everything's perfect but when I check album there are no photos. I don't see any data's either.

I tried to backup like maybe thrice but it's still the same.

Any ideas ?

Can this method restore my Wifi connection?

I'm now using my GN as a back up, no sim card, only using wifi for some of the apps on there, and some games. Recently also testing it to be a car dash display/HUD display with OBDII scanner. However, after one day's test, it lost bluetooth and wifi connection. I can change the settings but nothing happens, and Wifi can't find any network now. (the 1st day it happened, it can still see home network, but now it can't)
I still have some information stored there so I don't want to do full re-install, or wipe data.
Can I just re-flash the same rom right now and keep all the data (app login/ game save etc...) It's on CM11 snapshot now.:confused:

No Wifi After Nandroid Restore

Switched to the HTC 816 from Samsung Galaxy S3, it's been a learning experience for sure.

I've learned how to unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery with Fastboot, acquire S-Off, relock bootloader & install stock HTC lollipop with RUU, more work than the Galaxy S3 but the HTC is a much better phone.

That said I'm having a problem with my nandroid backups, when I restore a backup my WIFI will not turn on, the only thing that fixes it is doing a factory reset which really defeats the purpose of having a nandroid backup. I've experienced this issue with both CWM recovery and Philz recovery backups. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Google Photos backup (After restore)

Just got my new Moto X (:D) and I transferred the photos from my old Nexus to the new Moto (by copying an pasting the files on one phone to the other using windows). Photos on the Nexus where also backed up via Google Photos. Now, when I switch on Auto-Backup in Google Photos on my Moto X, it tries to re-backup the old photos previously on my Nexus. Anyone found a way to prevent this or to re-link these?

When you switch ROMs, what's the easiest way to restore everything else?

When you switch ROMs, what's the easiest way to restore everything else? Android will restore apps (and their data?) but how do you restore all your shortcuts, folders and such?

There are so many cool ROMs on here to try but it takes me hours to restore everything, I usually just try one and end up keeping it.

Restore to Stock AT&T

Hey guys.
I have an HTC One M9 AT&T edition. It is S-ON and currently ***Relocked***. I have tried to use the RUU.exe 4 times now on two different computers which both give me the 170 error (USB connection failure) I have tried two different cables in different ports in two different computers. I have tried to do the RUU in the Bootloader and in Download mode. Neither work. I just want to try to return it to AT&T as soon as possible so which ever way may work would be great!

Titanium Backup restore from Nandroid on 6.0?

So I know people have been having issues with restoring data on Titanium in general, but does anyone have a fix for Nandroid restore? Titanium is having problems detecting the folders, and to my knowledge there's no way to manually change the location for TWRP backups.

adb build.prop restore - rooted phone but cannot gain SU or 'root' in adb.

Hi all,

I have been through douzens of threads and forums looking for a solution to this.

I followed some instructions to modify the build.prop file on my Huawei G535-L11 to disable Huawei theme manager in order to get Xsposed working fully (changed ro.config.hwtheme: 0). I did a backup of my original build.prop before hand, and my phone was rooted and unlocked but running the stock rom.

Unfortunately, it rebooted but won't go past the first 'EE' splash screen (just turns off again).
I can inconsistently get in to both fastboot and Android recovery, so I have been trying to use adb to push the original build.prop to /system/ on the phone.
However, this fails as /system/ is apparently RO. I have now discovered that I can't get SU permissions despite my phone being rooted.
If I try:
adb shell
$ su
nothing happens and it goes back to a $ prompt.
If I try:
adb root
I get the message (paraphrased):
adb cannot run as root in production builds.

So I can't push or do any adb method of restoring the build.prop file?! I don't understand why it is acting as if it is not rooted. I had Link2sd, Gravity Box, No Frills Cpu Controller all set up and working before, so I'm fairly sure I did truly have root.

I have also tried flashing a TWRP recovery, which apparently is successful, but when I go in to recovery it is still the Android Recovery.

Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to get my phone working again please?! This is my last gasp before the phone gets filed under 'B' in the cylindrical cabinet in the corner of the room!

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

Marshmellow app data restore issues.

I had started a thread over in the nexus 6 forum but was thinking maybe this would be a better place.
There seems to be very limited information out about how this is being handled.
This site has a pretty good write up on it http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/...ly-reviewed/6/
However my issue lies in the fact that a tiny fraction of my apps are actually getting into the Google Drive/Settings/Managed backups.
Everywhere it seems to refer to next to all apps will get backed up properly this way. But this is not my experience.

This is a major pain point in android and one of the reasons to root. I really hope this gets ironed out.
What are others experience with marshmellow app data backup and restore?

How could I backup or restore my device if it is soft bricked? Not sure if I have wha

So I want to modify some .jars and tinker with my phone though I am afraid that it will become soft bricked or worse, and I need some advice before I try any of it. Is there an emulator that could emulate my Rom on my pc to test whether it would get bricked? My rom is stock rooted android 4.4 with Kyocera. Or is there a program to backup to my pc and restore from a bricked phone? If anyone has information on this I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
