Hey,

I created a .tar.gz from my /userdata/ folder, then I copied it to my computer and deleted it on my phone. But how can I restore it? I flased my phone wit --wipe and --bootsrap options, so only the default things are in the /userdata folder. I copied the .tar.gz to Download. But with this I only has 1.5 GB free space, what is not enough to uncompress it. It is a Nexus4, so there's no SD card, just the internal storage. Can I somehow uncompress it via SSH?

So would I be able to flash a fresh image and restore? How would I restore?
​When I flash my phone [1], the data on my home partition is usually left untouched.​ No need to restore anything.​
