[Q] Recovery and Backup On S3 (Boost)

[jreink01]

I have a couple questions if someone can answer them for me. First off, I have a boost galaxy s3, rooted. Right now I am on CWM, does anyone know if 4ext is compatible with this phone. I went to google play store under 4 ext and on the left it says it is, just want to verify before I install this.

Next question is a little more in depth.
I am in a dilemma. I had a s2 (rooted and on a custom rom)and had issues with the gps, so I upgraded to a s3. I did a nandroid backup and also tit backup of my important apps. After I did this, we pulled out the sd card and they did a factory reset on the s2. I have since rooted my s3 and installed tit backup, but when I go to restore, it says theres nothing to restore. I also went into es file explorer and the tit backup folder is empty. For whatever reason, I don't have the tit backup. I still have the nandroid backup I made on my s2, although I don't have the s2 phone anymore. The data on some of these apps is very important to me and I am crushed that I lost all that. Does anyone know if there is a way to pull apart the nandroid backup to get at this data so tit backup would be able to restore the data from these apps? I only have 2 or 3 of these apps data that I really need. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can retrieve information form a Nandroid Backup with Titanium Backup. That being said, I would advice against restoring Data. Unless it's from games. If you do restore Data, try to never restore System Data.

You can also check out Nandroid Manager.

The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Thanks for the response. Will tit backup allow me to pull apart the nandroid backup and find the folder with a particular apps data then, if so, how do I go about doing that?? I looked at the options in tit backup and could not figure out a way to do this. Also, would it be easier to maybe use some program on my pc to do this instead of my phone??

Either one should allow you to Extract Data from a Nandroid. In Titanium Backup you would navigate to : Menu - SPECIAL BACKUP ? RESTORE - Extract from Nandroid backup - Choose the backup. Then let it load up. Choose what you want to restore. Once again I would caution against restoring System Data.
