I would like to try some cooked ROMs.
But I fully personalized all the settings in my actual shipped ROM.
I lost so much time to personalize it.
Is there a way to do a full backup or a "dump" of the internal memory as it is now?
Or there is a good backup program that FULLY backup all settings? (not only documents, contacts, messages, etc... but also registry, program settings, etc...).
So if I want to go back to my actual ROM, I reflash it then I restore the "dump" to get back all my old settings?
Thanks to all for your help!

And please search in the future.

I'm sorry Dave, I read the topics about,
but I wasn't sure if the dump of the ROM creates only an image of the ROM's zone where there are the first WM installation/boot files (just like after an hard reset), or if it saves exactly the actual state of internal memory of the device.

It save's the current state IIRC.

No, it doesn't save the current state, only the installation files of the ROM.
I created the dump and I created ruu_signed.nbh.
I flashed ROMeOS, then I flashed back my created ROM.
All settings and programs are gone.
I think I didn't well explained what I would like to know.
I mean if it is possible to create a flash nbh file with the ROM backup (and this can be done, there are many thread about, I tried too and I succedeed), but also a full backup of ALL INSTALLED PROGRAMS IN THE INTERNAL STORAGE (programs I installed, no default ROM programs), all settings (TouchFLO3D settings and customization, phone settings,etc...), registry and system data.
As SBP Backup does.
And also avoid hard-reset restart after flashing that nbh file.
So the phone starts directly the first time normally.
What there is in the Part03.raw which is 330Mb?
The dimension is near the available internal storage.
I dont think it quite works like that.
I think your best bet is to build your own rom with your own settings and apps, AFAIK this is the only way to have the phone exactly as your want it after first boot.
Also have a look at SASHIMI, you may be able to get the results you want using that, although something seems to have happened to the thread pro tem.
Thank you dabs!
I will learn to build my own ROMs.
I used other's cooked ROMs for a long time.
I would like to be able to cook mine.
I downloaded and tried Sashami 7.5. It's a great and powerful program!
Also documentation is simple and complete.
Just in case you you havnt seen it:-
What you want the Raphael Kitchen, its an awesome package that lets mere mortals build their own perfect rom.

Is there any way to do a total backup of my phone settings so as to dump them back in after a hard reset. I want some of the stuff gone with the hard reset but not all of it. I have done some registry tweaks and the aGPS fix that I would not want to have to hunt down the threads for everything I want to redo.

I use SPB Back up. It lets you select what exactly you want to back up and creates an executable file so if you dont have the app installed on a hard reset you can just run the back app it creates and be good to go.
Also, if you are looking for that level of customization have you considered going with a custom ROM or a kitchen?

I am still very new to this and trying to learn as fast as I can . I haven't gotten to the point of creating and flashing a rom/radio. I bought the phone and had someone else do an upgrade to a custom rom/radio. Since I have been using it there are things I have changed along the past few months that it would take me forever to find the threads with the step by step instructions to redo them. I just haven't found anything that told me it would do a backup of my entire phone registry tweaks and all. I know I have done some MMS fixes , the aGPS , 2 or 3 registry tweaks , fixed the video and installed several programs . I just hated the thought of having to start all over again anyways thanks for the help.
I have read many threads about this and try almost everything I have read. So I am sharing what I know works easier, and since the new TF3D2.1 has some issues with PimBackup you may want to easily backup all your information and restore it before flashing your new cool ROM with TF3D2.1
First of, I use Sashimi for backing up my preferences, ringtones, etc... However, even with the previous version of Manila Sashimi cannot restore the pim file, so I always ended up forcing a copy to restore my PIM.vol. Not relevant now since this is a simpler procedure, and automatic.
Regardless of what you use, Sashimi, UC, or nothing. This small SDConfig.txt below and procedure will do the trick.
FIRST: Backing up all your calendar, call history, contacts, and favorites, is as simple as creating a copying of your PIM.VOL file in the root (\) directory of your device and copy the file to a directory in your SD card. For example: \Storage Card\PIM\pim.vol. Once you have that. If you use UC incorporate the following lines of the SDConfig.txt below into your own SDConfig. If you don't all you need is create a simple SDConfig.txt in the root directory of your Storage Card with the following (Assuming you used the same directory structure. Change to where you put yours):
LOCK:Enabled
CPY1: \Storage Card\PIM\pim.vol
CPY2: \pim.vol
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the procedure is as follows:
Before you flash your new ROM with TF3D2.1 disableTF3D in the Today screen, and make a copy of the PIM.VOL in your storage (It will allow you to do so without sharing violation errors). I personally use ActiveSync - Explore..., instead of using the File Explorer on the device
Remove your SD card and flash your new ROM as usual
Once the installation is completed. Do a hard reset as recommended. (Read here , if you're unsure)
Once the hard reset procedure completes and you get the prompt to press the "Volume up key to boot". Insert your SD Card into the device and boot
The boot process will start and the ROM will start installing the default software, after that it will look for the SDConfig.txt file you just created. This will make it restore your PIM.VOL and it will soft reset your device once again
Your TF3D2.1 will come up with your favorites, calendar entries, call history, etc... and is all good and working well.
NOTE: This procedure works regardless of your ROM. As long as the ROM supports UC. The cool thing about using Sashimi is that I always have Sashimi make a copy of my PIM.VOL before I am going to flash a new ROM. So that way I make sure the PIM.VOL in my Storage Card\PIM\ is the latest
Enjoy!
I have heard of Sashimi but find it hard to understand how it works and setting up the app....
I use Pimbackup, will this work as well if i follow ur instructions?
And what is CU? I searched on Google and couldn't find anything relevant.

You wont need PimBackup with this solution. And sorry, it was a typo. It is UC, not CU. I fixed that on the first post. Problem is PimBackup wont work well when you try to restore if you're using TF3D2.1 which could be a major show stopper for many. With this solution you backup everything and restore everything by simply copying the PIM.VOL file. It has to be done this way because if you don't do it at the fresh ROM restore, you'll get a sharing violation error.
Have you had any issues if you then active sync with your computer's outlook? I know with PIMbackup i ended up with the strange situation where my PC thought the restored contacts from PIM were unique, and ended up with doubles. (I even had the computer set as the master to clear everything on the device).

I haven't. It shouldn't at all. Since it is the same PIM.VOL you used before, so synchronization data should be intact if you are faithful to the steps I provided. If your pre-TF3D2.1 was working well, then if you use this procedure you shouldn't have any problems.

just to be sure, PIM.VOL is the output that Pimbackup makes right?
And what is UC?
Also, i named my memory card to 8GB instead of the default "storage card", which means that all my information are stored on a different memory card name.....so if i follow ur method, i.e aftering the hard reset and insert my SD card and boot, it will look for the SDConfig.txt, but the problem is the name of the memory card is different......and even if i edit the SDConfig.txt, i still have to change my memory card name first before i apply ur trick, so what i don't understand is will this only work during the part when the phone installs the default software? Because u said that we have to insert our memory card after the hard reset procedure is complete. And we can only start to install our own softwares after step 5, which means that even if i edit the memory card name to 8GB in the SDConfig.txt, it won't work since the default memory card name is "Storage Card" and hasn't been changed yet.......
And since i can only start to gain control of my fone after step 5, that means i can't install any registry editors straight after the hard reset and therefore can't edit the memory card name........i hope that made sense...

I would think that you need to use the same name you used for your card. Test it, I have not done so changing the name of the SC. I've never done it so I cannot tell you if the name doesn't remain with different ROMS. I would think that if it doesn't then you still have to use \Storage Card\ regardless because that's the default name. But you'll have to test and try, then share what you found
UC is User Customization. See the link in my first post.

Monkey, like every one here will tell you. I cannot assure you anything, we give advise based on things we personally test with our device. Its all in good faith, you need to do your own testing. You read, then you test. If you're not completely sure, then make a full backup of your device, try this, didn't work, go back. I've done this several times and it works. I don't see why you will have issues since the format of the PIM.VOL doesn't change regardless of what you sync with.
I've never played with Sashimi before...dabbled a bit with sdconfig...
Is this just for contacts or does it also backup TF3D2 favs, stocks, weather etc...
man I sure love my cheap (mail2web) exchange solution...definitely worth the $5/month! Add in MyPhone for free and I don't think it gets much better...IMO.
It took me a while to figure out its beauty, but it sure beats messing with all this!

Glad it worked for you. But, "messing with all this"? This is simple and automatic, only have to do it once. Everytime you flash a new ROM there is no-install. What can I say? whatever works for you, works for you!

isn't automatic if you have to spontaneous hard reset, is it? You are stuck with a backup that is how old? yup...the last time you backed it up. How many contacts/appts/tasks, etc did you just lose?
With MyPhone (as the worst case for full backup), you are left with just a 1 day loss...and with my setup using Exchange for mail/appts/tasks on continuous sync, that only includes SMS as a 1 day loss risk. Even if they (mail2web/myphone) have a server failure, I will take that slim chance that it falls on the same day I have to hard reset both my devices that sync that content...
Man I suck...

Dude! you can use whatever you like for backups. I posted this workaround for people who will flash another ROM with the TF3D2.1 version. And this is a workaround for the PimBackup issue. You're here debating what solution or not is better for backup/restore. If you apply this workaround then one can use whatever backup/restore solution fits best after the fact.
I am not presenting this as a backup/restore solution strategy. Which means you obviously didn't do your work of reading through the forums and don't know what this is about, so came here to talk nonsense. You're free to do whatever you like, but to come to the forum to argue and criticize about other people's free help is quite un-productive. So save your time and ours.
These are not debate forums about technology. There are plenty of places out there where you can go pretend you are a guru and know a lot about stuff.

ok thanks...try not to get butt hurt so easy...its the internet for pete's sake...
'ok thanks...try not to get butt hurt so easy...its the internet for pete's sake...'
Get hurt? You came into the thread he created and brang it completely off topic. We know there are other backup solutions, but this was a thread made for those that use PIMbackup and want to use Manila 2.1. As great as apps like myphone are they still have to be setup upon every hard reset which quite frankly, is very annoying. I would rather backup my contacts as normal and have it part of the flashing process. This makes far more sense if you use your own kitchen, as you usually end up flashing more than once. I don't want to have to configure myPhone everytime to make sure contacts are working.
well you know what, my PIM data is a bit more important to me than to use some "hack" just to use TF3D or any other UI. I have gone through all sorts of issues in the past on other devices from creating duplicates of all PIM data to completely wiping it out from following "solutions" posted on forums. I don't need to waste time screwing with or screwing up my PIM data...as it is the heart of my PDA. Without it, I may as well use a Razr. Others may feel the same way and have similar experiences.
Off topic? Harldy...read the title of the thread.
"Backup & Restore of TF3D2.1 appointments, contacts, and favorites"
He offered a solution inline with the topic, so did I...
And what about the people coming from wm6.1 to wm6.5 that are reading these forums? Has the OP confirmed that this method works across the 2 OS's without screwing up the reader's PIM data? We already know there are differences in the calendar areas across 6.1 and 6.5...what about others?
Me? I prefer not to risk my precious PIM data in this way...just as you prefer not to enter configurations for proper sync and backup...To-may-to, to-mah-to, I suppose...
lets say one forgot to shut off TF3D before copying the pim.vol file to there storage card. Is that a huge issue?
Ok.
My phone apparently hates me ... but I can't figure out where the hell I'm going wrong.
I had 1.57 on my phone, rooted. I did the OTA update to 1.83. Then I ran Gingerbreak. After rooting, I put Greyblur on my phone, so I thought I had root access since SystemRestore ran.
I now have root, theoretically ... but I can't see half the files that I used to be able to (when I mount /system as r/w I can't write to it ...). [edit]Also, I can't "adb shell mount" ... I can push/pull files from the /system directory, but I can't edit them directly either through RootExplorer or "adb shell; $su" etc.[/edit]
I can't see user data in my files; it looks like TitaniumBackup can, since it's creating backup files, but I don't trust that it's actually getting all my user data.
I want to redo my phone from scratch, but I'm worried I won't be able to actually save all my user data/databases/etc from programs ... things that say they save to the sdcard on this seem to save to /mnt/sdcard on the Atrix (not sdcard-ext)... which is actually the internal memory of the phone, not the removable sdcard (AFAICT).
Any chance anyone can help with this? Or do I have to just try to back up what I can, reflash to 1.26, root, "beforeupdate", update to 1.57, "after update", 1.83, gingerbreak, and hope for the best?
Any help is appreciated. Very valuable help will be rewarded with beer donations, etc.
Thanks in advance.

This question is being asked allot lately. You kind of answered it yourself in a literal way: As far as your phone is concerned, you are transferring the files to sd. Your not using the apps2extsd app (because it doesn't exist afaik). I know thats only one part of your question, hope you get the answers you need.

Right ... and the point of this is that if I remove my (physical) SD Card to preserve my files, it won't actually do anything because it's the INTERNAL memory that has my files/databases/etc.

I think you missed the point. Apps2sd is not to "preserve" anything, but for phones lacking enough memory to install the apps users want. We are lucky with the Atrix. We will probably never fill it up to the point we cant install anymore apps, but other phones have that problem. This is the purpose of apps2sd. If you want preservation use TiBU. Again I know this was only part of your question and wish you luck in finding the solutions you need.

Yeah, I have/use TiBU (PRO) ... what I am not sure of is:
1. If I flash the 1.26 sbf to my phone, will the TiBU backups get deleted from my internal memory? Or do I need to save them to my PC first (will probably do this anyway).
2. If I later reinstall from my TiBU backups, will all my saved games, program databases, etc, also be imported back onto the phone?
3. Are there other files that I need that I'd want to back up, but I won't be able to because I don't really have root?
4. How can I be certain that I actually have root access, and not some half-assed root access that Moto/ATT let me have while hiding full system access?
5. Why can I no longer mount my /system folder as r/w, along with not being able to see /system/data?
That's all, I think.
Thanks.

Back them up to your PC. SBF shouldn't clear your external/internal SD card, but most will wipe /data/ partition which contains all of the app settings and data.
They should be, yes.
Anything you can backup, you should. I'm not sure what you mean by you "don't really have root." Check for Superuser in your app drawer. If it's not there, install it. Gingerbreak/Gingerblur delete a LOT of stuff when you use them. I personally avoid them for this very reason.
There's no such thing as "half-assed root access." You either have it, or you don't. Make sure the su binary is in /system/bin and that you have Superuser.apk installed and listed in your app drawer.
What error messages is it giving you when you try?

Sometimes TiBu and RootExplorer need to be restarted for root to take place. I'd say at this point (If you haven't already.), give your phone a reboot. That might smooth any other issues out.

Look for the service SBF for 1.83. There's two versions, one that wipes /data and one that doesn't. If you use the one that doesn't (I have SEVERAL times), you should be good to go.

EDIT: bookmark http://gitbrew.org/atrix has pretty much everything all in one place

If anyone Owns the dopo td-1010 and still has all stock system apps there is a very easy way that you could really help me out! all you would have to do is install titanium backup and make a back up of every single app in the list (besides things you have installed) and then upload the backups somewhere for me . you can get titanium back up here: http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/86267062/file.html . you have to have the device rooted in order to use it. you can root the dopo td-1010 with this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot/ ( works perfectly on this device, i have done it myself) PLEASE if there is anyone out there that can help me with this PLEASE get back to me as soon as possible.
You scrath my back, and I'll scratch yours
I have the TD-1010, I can and am will to help you out here, but I am running into a problem you seem to have already figured out.
I was googling the Internets for drivers to TD-1010 for Windows, for the same program/script/batch file you were recommending for rooting the TD-1010. I need to get said drivers before I am able to root the TD-1010 and backup redistribute said OS to you my good sir. At current the script can't find the device without the drivers. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon so I can do you a favor in return.
PS do you have the problem with it randomly freezing, or is that just me...?

THank you so mucjh for the reply. I havnt had any issues with this device that i didnt create myself. lol. even now i have not seen any random freezing... ive seen it maybe hang for about 3-5 seconds when loading large apps, is that what you mean , or is it actually freezing right up and needing a reset?
PS: , its been a while since i rooted it and cant seem to find the drivers i used, i am searching now, will post a link as soon as i find them.

YOUR THE MAN!!!
downloading files now, ill let you know how it works out. thank you !!!!!!
there was one more thing
I almost forgot. Another thing i did was wipe out the dalvik cache and i think i may have lost something there. if you could go into data/dalvik-cache and make a copy of that whole folder for me would be a huge help as well. thanks again!

I have never used titanium backup before, i thought that it would work, but it does not appear to actually back the applications up, just the settings and configurations for them or something. unfortunately, That will not help me fix this. it looks like the only way to do it is to use this app: http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/78017991/file.html . it is called "root uninstaller pro". i didnt want to ask someone to use this if i didnt have to because it is how i messed mine up, but if you make sure not to delete anything while your in there and just back everything up it will not harm your device at all. im a dumbass and started removing stuff i didnt really know what it was and then i lost my back up so i could not reinstall. thank you again for all the time you have taken on this already. would you be willing to use the root uninstaller program to make proper backups that will work for me?

i think i figured it out,
lol... i just had to resresh the app list and then they were there to restore.
YAYYYYYY!!!!!
It worked! I can not tell you how much I appreciate it! thank you so much.
So I looked up info on both backup programs, and they are both equivalent to using the add/remove OR uninstall feature of windows. I used Nandroid for the full images you already should have the link to my drop box. Since this is a full copy of my system I do require you not distribute it and remove any of my account settings you may find. Feel free to keep any of the apps I have already installed (they were all free anyways). Good luck

HAH!!! I just did a backup and everything and you've had it working to the past 2 hours lol...
PS I think I now know that my power adapter is making my device freeze since it only happens when plugged in, I think.

I did a full nand backup as a test but I currently am not running the stock image it is a protab 30 firmware but the screen resolution is off, Im about to RMA it, when I get it back in a week or so I will make a dump of the various .img's like kernel.img, system.img,
Drivers
IMaybe a little help? I have been following your post and cannot seem to get the drivers to install. I have tried on both w7 and xp. Both computers see it in usb mode but once switched to usb debugging and directed to the driver file you posted it gives me the error the error message incorrect drivers. Any suggestioned would be greatly appericated.
Titanium back up creates compressed file with apk.gz extension. That is where the app is and you can use 7zip or your favorite util to get tin the install file which will have a .apk extension. Once you do that you can install the app. Copy the app to SD or via cloud drive like dropbox and install.
