Hi Please put a backup from your system/app here
(sorry for bad en)
Why? Did you delete something by accident?
You can restore things yourself: root phone, flash recovery image, make nandroid backup, flash the stock RUU ROM, make a backup of /system/app, restore nand backup and then your phone is in same state as it was at the beginning and you have a backup of that folder...

I'm curious about this. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
Lets say that I'm on stock 2.2, rooted. I do a nandroid backup. Then I allow the upgrade for 2.2.2. Of course I lose root.
Will a nandroid restore, restore root, or will I have to root again?
A full nandroid restore will restore everything - the system and data - and you will be right back where you were, on 2.2 and rooted.

Ahh, okay.
So to confirm that I understand you correctly...
...the 2.2.2 update won't hold after the nandroid restore? I'll be back to 2.2, as it was before the (2.2.2) update?
If you just wanna backup and restore your apps, use Titanium Backup (it's free on the Market).
Nandroid backs up your entire phone. When you restore a nandroid backup your phone will be exactly like it was when you made the backup. Restoring a nandroid backup is used to recover from a crash or to revert to a previous ROM.
After a ROM change I will set up my accounts, root if needed and do any other basic setup stuff and then, before installing any apps, do a nandroid backup. I can then go back to a "fresh install" if I want to. I also do a nandroid each weekly to capture the state of my phone.
Backing up apps and restoring them across different ROMs may or may not work for you. When I have tried this with Titanium Backup I had many force closes and ended up reinstalling everything from the market. Others have had success. I have read the MyBackup pro does better, but most suggest that you just backup and restore data not the app itself.
I have not tried backing up my apps to Google, which you can do in later versions of Android. Go to Privacy in the setting menu and then to Backup and restore. There are boxes for data backup and automatic restore you can check. maybe someone who has used this can comment on how well it works.
If your nandroid backups hang up at "backing up firstboot" get the latest version of StreakMod Recovery.

After installing a fresh ROM and rooting my device, the first thing I do is install Busybox. Then, with Titanium Backup I do Restore Apps Only, then reboot my device. I never get any FC's with this restore process.
Thanks!
Thank you everyone. I appreciate the info.
I've used Titanium BU, and have busybox installed too.
It was just a matter of if after an update (OTA), and restore with Nandroid, would root still be in place.
I totally understand what you guys are saying now.
I've also been using MyBackup to see how it compares to Titanium. So far so good.

I prefer mybackup root to titanium. It's far more user friendly and more automated (in the free version). As for nandroids, I always take a backup before doing any system changes (hacks or rom updates) so I can roll back to a known good system if needs be.
BTW - it is a good idea to copy your ROM backups to another device, just in case your SD card dies. I copy mine to one of my desktop computers and to a USB drive. I usually back up my entire SD card, except my music folders, every couple of weeks.
Where does Nandroid put the backups so I can rename them and save off phone?
mine (from Streakmod recovery) are in /sdcard/rom_backup
StreakMod recovery puts the backups on the SD Card in a folder named rom_backup.
Each backup is in a sub-folder of it's own and uses a date-time format for the folder name. I rename the folders with a meaningful name by just pre-pending to the name. So my last backup is named BB351-2011-06-18-02.41.04. The following files are created:
.android_secure.img
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
firstboot.img
recovery.img
system.img
nandroid.md5
the md5 file is a text file that contains the md5 sums for the other files. This file is used to verify the other files when they are restored.
Hi guys!
I just backed up my system because I wanted to load another system/ROM. So I wanted to restore the system is just backed up, but when I restore the ROM/system is different. For example the design is changed, and the home button does not work, I have to press back to exit apps. All my contacts and messages are gone. But my applications is there.
So I looked at the size of the backup files, and it this is how big the files are:
cache.img - Size: 0
data.img - Size: 252772352
nandroid.md5 - Size: 0
system.img - Size: 129997824
So it looks like the cache file and nandroid file is damage/broken. But it will take loong time to fix all this up to how it was.....
Is there something I can do? What can I restore? system, cache, data or what to get my design and contacts back and those things.
I hope you guys understand me.
Thanks for all answers.
Wait... are you saying that you actually back up /system and then restore it when you get a new rom? No no no no no...
/system is where your rom is actually stored, replacing it with the /system of another rom would have all kind of bad consequences.
What you need is to get Titanium Backup and MyBackup Root from the market; Titanium Backup for apps and app data, and MyBackup Root for contacts, sms', etc.
Messing with /system is not advised unless you know exactly what your doing.

..JusT Try 2 Help..
Uuupz..missing here..
Hope you mean Xrecovery BackUp..
1. Yuuup..the BackUp Files is BiiiiiG..coz it BackUp All of Your Phone (inc. ROM, KerneL, Apk, SmS & Phonebook)..coz the BackUp mean "Duplicate Your Phone"..soo when it Restored (Full Restore).."Your Now Phone" JusT Back to "Your Phone" when the last you Back It Up..
2. Never Go to "Advance Restore" To "IndividuaL Restore" anything when you have "Change" your RoM/KerneL..coz it can brick your phone. Just Do It when you still in the same RoM/KerneL..it safer..
3. If It Already Happen but you still can access XRec. then just make a Fresh Flash RoM..
4. If It Already Happen and you can't access XRec. just Flash It through Flash TooL..
I backed up everything with xRecovery. And when I'm now restoring I get the problems as I wrote in the first post.
The problem is that the files looks corrupted or something, because I have the problems above.
Something to try:
Do a fresh install of the rom you backed up(don't restore the backup again, just flash the rom zip from the thread). Then in xrec choose advanced restore> restore data using the 'damaged' backup. Since data.img seems to be intact and it's the same rom, hopefully that will restore apps & contacts, etc.
It is always good practice to back up apps & contacts w/apps like Titanium Backup and MyBackup Root before flashing like Frosty said just in case something like this happens.
Uupz..corrupt backup files..try to Re-Install xRec...
Or
Just do a Fresh Flash through FlasH TooL..and StarT from Begin again..
hi
how to back up my files which needed by this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
it's in the instruction and how i used it after installing rom
help.................
Hi, if you want to backup your contacs, sms and apps, Titanium Backup can do the trick.
But if you want to backup the entire rom, you can do that in booting to CWM in the option Backup/Restore.
So i Accidently deleted system/bin/sh/
Now i dont have any root permissions, i cant root again, becouse i dont have ,,sh,, file
What should i do?
I tried to push ,,sh,, file (i have a copy of my system) to my phone useind adv tool, but it writeing that i my pho system i ,,read only,, i tried to write ,,adb remount rw,, but i cant remount, because i dont have system/bin/sh/
I dont know what should i do
Reflash ROM?
I wont lost my all data, because im searching other solution
No other solution

Use titanium backup *Needs root
make a backup of your User App
Reflash phone with same firmware
root phone
Install Titanium Backup and restore files
Make a backup from clockwork recovery, then flash a rom, and you will be able to restore things of the recovery made with clockwork from titanium backup pro or appextractor app
Can we just make backup with CWM Recovery, reflash the ROM, restore the backup with CWM Recovery?
Is it safe to change the names of a CWM backup folder? I remember reading that the CWM on my asus transformer would not restore a backup if the backup was renamed. Also (this is my first android phone), what is the best procedure when restoring a nandroid backup?
restore
wipe ----> restore
flash rom ------> restore
