i'm actually new to this stuff, i've been trying different roms to find what's more suitable for me and i have one problem.
the guides said that when you install a new rom, you have to wipe data and then flash your sd cards, but doingso erases all my apps and everything else, is there anyway to backup those stuff and easily restore them after i've installed a new rom? thank you so much in advance for your help.

Use titanium backup to backup your apps and app data before flashing rom's.
but where will the titanium backup store the backup if i'm supposed to wipe my sd?

First wipe and partition your SD and reboot. Use titanium now to backup all apps. Also now you can copy anything to SD. For example download rom now and flash. As partition already there, no need to partition again.

if u have recovery installed then just Nand backup along with ext backup.. it will completely take a backup image of ur ROM along with sttings and applications installed..
when restoring just Nand restore ...
thanks guys! i'll try this tomorrow, i have to get some sleep first. thanks again!

Umm... This might be a Noob question but i've flash a ROM and I want to revert it back to the stock rom, Could I use the Nandroid backup to restore the stock ROM?
NAndroid restore
Yes You can restore!... But Ist tell you Backup of ur Stock ROM ? in your Internal or External SD card?
Thankyou for replyin, yes the backup is in the SD card
Reply!
Just go to recovery mode when you switch on your device and flash your nandroid backup located in your sd card. Simple as that!
1)Boot your phone into recovery.
2)go to Backup and restore.
3)Choose the nandroid backup file.
4)select,wait and and when its done reboot and volia! its done.
Thanks
I was on AOKPCB and flashed neutrino.. before that I made a backup pf my apps through titanium and a nandroid backup before flashing.. unfortunately I was not able to restore apps and data from titanium.. especially whatsapp messages. So I sayd let's restore AOKCP, but unfortunately the MD5 Sum check fails somehow.. Does anybody know a workaround?
Use TWRP2 recovery instead of CWM or romracer. You won't have any problems switching Nandroids back and forth. I don't think it will restore previously corrupted backups, but it's worth the shot.

I also had this same problem and I copied the backups off my sd card to pc, formatted the card and put the backup back on and it then worked!
A week ago,I flashed cwm touch recovery(1st time I install a custom recovery on my gs3) with odin.I decided to try out wanamlite so I made a nandroid backup of my ROM(stock 4.1.2) then flashed wanamlite.I had a titanium backup of my data so I could restore it on wanamlite but I forgot to put it on my pc before flashing and wiping data(silly I know lol) so I wanted to restore my nandroid backup so I could make another TB of my data but the restore wasn't successful.I got this error message in cwm touch ''error restoring /data !'' or smthin similar and I got in a bootloop.I tried flashing back stock ROM and wiping data(with sd card) then tried to restore the nandroid again,got the same error.I later found out that titanium backup can restore data from a nandroid.Anyways,I tried to make a backup using TWRP but when I tried to restore it,I got in a bootloop again...what could be the problem ? I never had this problem with my gs2...
TL;DR:restoring a nandroid backup gets me in a bootloop whether I use cwm touch or TWRP.
are you backing up to the internal?
have your tried backing up multiple times?

Yes I backed up to the internal sd card.I backed up once with cwm and TWRP.Btw,when I tried restoring I had to move the backup from pc to phone because I did a full data wipe and the backup was gone(in both times) if that makes any difference.I have made sure the backup was the same size when I moved it to and from my pc.
Did you enable MD5 check? Could it be files damage to cause unsuccessful boot up?

No but why would they be damaged ? and why would it happen TWICE ? anyways,I will try again now with md5 check.
UPDATE:tried out with md5 checking,didn't get any errors but I still got into bootloop :/
if you didn't turn md5 on Before backing up, there's no md5 to compare to, hence no errors.

It is not,in fact I don't even have an external sd card.I did format everything before trying to restore.
So, I'm always told to back up my rom before flashing a new one. So I do that. However when I go into CWM and try to flash my backup back, it says it doesn't exist.
It's looking for .ZIP files. There are files in a folder that I created/made with the backup. Should I put all the backup files into a zip file so that CWM will flash that back?
Or is there a way to flash those files, because CWM says install ROM from SD Card?
Please help, sorry I'm new to this.
I know I have the data, but how do I get it back?
