This is just a wild shot by a blind guy:
I'd like to know if i could, for an example:
Build a system setup with everything needed included on system partition.
Then make a backup with xrecovery, move the system partition backup image to another device with same fw version - and restore only that?
My thought is if i could build the base system that i want to use like this and just wipe the device(ofcause the same fw and so on) it's going to and restore the system partition to install

yes you can as long it is the same model and make and the same firmware you can me and my girlfriend have the same phones and i make a backup with xrecovery and put it on her sd card then restore the backup on her xrecovery easy just wipe it or do a factory reset because you will have your market info and your contacts which is dificult to erase.
hope it helps
Thanks dude exactly the info needed. Nothing worst than wasting hours on something that wouldn't work anyway

Ive found it pretty annoying that when updating cyanogen, I would have to install each and every one application and going trough all the settings and moving all the applications to SD card again very daunting.
Is there a way so that, if the next upgrade comes out, I can just only restore applications and settings on the new rom using xrecovery or titanium?
I was going thruogh xrecovery, and therer was one called advanced restore, and allows me to choose restore data, restore cache, restore ext... is this the one and which one?
Yah sure, make a full recovery with Xrecovery, and the install new rom , when rom install ends, make full wipe and battery status wipe, then make advanced restore, Data and cache only, and you're gonna have all your apps back :O thats how i make
k will test and see, thanks =)
DO NOT back up and simply restore when u get a new rom, i backed up my 2.1 with xrecovery then installed new rom and restored from xrec and bricked my phone, i reflashed and now im stuck on the previous kernel due to the fact that i now cant update, i didnt use the advanced restore cache and data restore, guessing it should work
Obiously, if you try making a backup from Eclair and then restore on Froyo, you're gonna have a bricked device, cuz eclair cache and data it's different than on CM6 or CM7, but he's talking about doing this with 3.4 CM6, to 3.5CM6, so it's totally safe, and I DO IT every time I update my ROM.
Correct me if im wrong about 2.1 to 2.2 or 2.3, but do what i say it's safe
EDIT: Did you make a full restore? lol men , and respect to update to the new kernel, you do it copying build.prop to /system with RootExplorer, go to this thread

use Titanium backup?
Hi, I'm new to the whole rooting your phone thing and installing a rom.
I've rooted my X10 phone successfully.
I've installed xRecovery.
I've backed up both apps and data using MyBackup Pro.
I've backed up both system and data using xRecovery.
I've cleared all cache and data using xRecovery.
I've installed Wolfbreak V6.
Can I recover my data (only) using xRecovery to my current Wolfbreak Rom without breaking everything?
Can I recover my data and apps using MyBackup Pro to my current Wolfbreak Rom without breaking everything?
I'd prefer not to have to go re-installing all my contacts, wifi settings and more without a real cause.
Thank you
Here's what I'd do if I were you:
1. Make a new backup of my freshly installed ROM in xRecovery.
2. Restore data from previous ROM through Advanced Restore in xRecovery.
3. Wipe dalvik cache in xRecovery.
4. Reboot
5. Keep an eye for anything "weird". In all cases, you'll have the backup from step 1, so no harm done.
Many people accuse the data restore for ROM shortcomings.
Truth is, a ROM means /system and data are in a completely different partition. So 90% of the time, you'll be just fine. As long as you restore data between the same kind of ROM stock-stock-stock based, MIUI-MIUI, CM-CM etc...

Thank you. I'll do as you've suggested. I thought that the data and system should be separate and compatible with a rom update. I did go the route of the stock flash so it should be okay.
Worked!
I did a xRecovery backup of my working updated ROM (once I fixed a small bug) just to be safe.
I used xRecovery advanced to restore my data from my original ROM.
everything feels and looks like before the wolfbreak ROM. I have all my phone numbers and text messages back, skins and apps!
and it works better too.
The rom that was floating around has some weird settings for the keyboard so I'm trying to find the version for the UK.
I tried Wotanserver to update but went back to a backup because it wiped the user data.
SEUS will not download due to custom software on my phone. Is there something usable in the data folder for WotanClient that I can use with flashtool?
Or maybe a way to take something usable from the phone after it is flashed?
You can flash Central Europe 1 firmware. It has same keyboard layout.
Just backup all your data, contacts etc to SD card and then flash it.
SD card won't be touched during flashing.
I don't know any other way to reset stock ROM without flashing and that will clean up phone memory.
will try titanium backup for everything that's on it now then
Quick update in case anyone else does something this stupid to see what it does.
Backup up with clockworkmod
Updated on wotanserver then used advanced recovery on clockworkmod to recover the data.
Hi
I'm a new member , I really found that you're brilliant developpers
My quest is : if I wanted to install a MOD or a theme , or even tried to change the whole ROM , and something went wrong with me , what can I do to fix it ?
NOTE : I've fully backuped my phone via Titanium Backup
Thanks a lot
PCC and SEUS are primary for fixes!

You need to firstly root your rom with flashtool

This will install xrecovery and busy box on your phone
Then back up your rom via xrecovery this will be a full nandroid backup of your generic rom which you can save on your micro SD card or PC then go ahead and install roms

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Recovery does not save stuff onto your pc, it saves the backups onto your sd card
(for xRecovery the backup is stored at sdcard/xRecovery/backups, similar for CWM recovery)
Every time you decide to flash a new rom/theme always remember to do a full nandroid backup through recovery. titanium backup can only back apps and not the full system.
thanks all
My afraidness is that my xRecovery says that I can't backup because there's some lost files !!
Why that **** ???
Thanks a lot again
Yes I know but you can copy it to your PC which will be a backup
Thanks everybody , everything is awsome , everything went well , I could finally have a full system backup
as the topic says,
if not, can anyone upload that app?
It won't affect anything else on your phone, so if you don't use it just remove it, you can always make a full backup with recovery and restore the data from there.
There is an app called appbackup i use it all the time u js backup all ur apps to ur sdcard and then after installing a new rom u cn restore.
No,this is not a System-depending application.This is just used to backup apps and contacts (on Sony Ericsson X10 line phones) to backup your data for one of the following reasons :
- Your firmware may be affected by something and you'll need to restore the contacts/sms/apps after the restoration
- You may have 2.0.5.A.0.24 firmware and you need to upgrade to 2.1.1.A.0.6.If you don't perform a backup you will lose every single data/setting that is stored on the phone's memory
- Your little brother accidentially pressed Restore to Factory defaults,without backup,now you won't be able to call that new girl Mary because you don't have her number!What you're gonna do then ?
OK,you can choose alternative backup applications but the sony ericsson one is here : Backup and restore for Eclair or the modded one to work for Froyo (and Gingerbread I think) Modded Backup & Restore,tutorial to install + download
Hope I helped,and I think I deserve a "Thanks",so...
SMASH THAT THANKS BUTTON
thanks
