cant restore data from google

[Guest priortak]

Hi.

I just updated my G300's rom to CM10, for some reason google won't restore my apps and other data (for example my contacts).

any advice?

Have you installed gapps from the same thread you got cm10.

I think you will have to do a factory reset, and then click 'restore data to this device' as you are going through the start setup.

Go to Settings>Backup & Reset> Factory data reset

Do a nandroid backup beforehand just in case it doesn't work. Then you can restore the phone to the previous state.

tried that already, I select the restore option and nothing happens... :(

Hmm, I'm not sure what to do then :huh:. Next time, try and backup your apps using a tool such as titanium backup, gobackup, Huawei allbackup etc.

It saves you going through all this hassle :P

I got this off the CM10 page...

K. Did you wipe and not restore anything else? Reboot between wipes? Thinking it could be remnants of your old install. You also should install fresh rather than restore.

Do you have a nandroid backup of your previous ROM? If you do, you could:

- Restore to it

- Download a 'backup' application

- Backup all your apps and settings

- Install the new ROM

- Download the same 'backup' app again

- Restore your data ;)

Maybe that would work.

P.s. what stuff do you need to restore? Contacts, apps, everything?

Is it a bad download of gapps? Are your contacts on your Google account?

Restoring settings from ICS to JB may cause problems. I wouldn't do it.

Use my method if you can, but only restore your apps and contacts. Don't restore system apps/data like fr0do said as this may have compatibility problems.
