ok so i want to flash to a new rom, and i backed up through clockwork and titanium backup, but i know nero wipes my SD. is there a way after the new ROM is installed to get my info back (music, videos...that sorta stuff...and if possible all my text messages)
Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for the helpful posts. I was able to successfully run the Revolutionary tool and flash a couple ROMs, but I realized I missed some old data from my stock ROM (primarily some locked text messages). Is there a way to either 1) run a rooted ROM (i.e. Cyanogenmod) and load my backed up texts or 2) run the stock ROM as is, but with root capabilities (such as removing the Sprint bloatware)?
I am able to restore my nandroid backup with the stock ROM, and all my data is there, but I don't have the ability to remove the bloatware.
Thanks for your help!
After restoring your backup of the stock rom, download and flash Superuser from recovery. I'm not sure if different versions are for different devices. If you're unsure, the Revolutionary site has a link to the correct one. You can find all versions here: http://goo-inside.me/superuser
Once you've flashed Superuser, you can either backup your apps and data to restore on another rom with Titanium Backup (use SMS Backup and Restore for texts) or modify the stock rom to your liking.
Revolutionary gives you s-off, which allows you to flash unofficial zips (such as a custom rom with root) but does not give your stock rom root - flashing Superuser does that. This is why you don't have root access on your backup.

Thank you plainjane, this worked great for me! Thanks again!
Hy guys,
I was looking for a good tutorial on the forum about how to keep config & apps between various ROMs, and if it was necessary to do it if you wanted to update the same ROM.
I did not find anything that specify this exactly.
I know that there are some tool to backup apk and then you can restore them, but its only the App
AppManager
Titanium backup
Then you have some apps to backup your ROM, but you can not restore parameters into another ROM (Cyanogen params, Accounts, etc...).
ROMManager
ClockWorkMod 3.2
Then I was wondering if you can flash different kernel without changing (wiping) anything in your system?
And if you need to wipe your data if you change between GingerDXv19 -> GingerDXv21?
And if you need to do it if you change between GingerDXv19->MiniCM7-2.2?
PS: I have already rooted the phone and installed ClockWorkMod 3.2
well, switching is not really possible, you must flash your kernel, because afaik gingerdx & minicm have different kernels.
if you want to switch roms, make a backup of each rom with clockworkmod(the apps are included in the backup). flash the kernel with the tool, and voila
I downloaded miui 2.11.2 and it's on ics. I was wondering if I have to flash this with full wipe cause I don't want to lose my data and stuff.
You'd probably have to wipe. Do a full rom backup in CWM and flash MIUI without wipe. If that doesn't work, restore rom and backup using titanium backup or some other backup app, then wipe and flash MIUI, and install apps and restore data.
Probably best if you download the apps yourself then use backup app to restore data only.
I had taken the titanium backup in stock rom. Now I have installed some other rom which is lagging I want my stock rom back. So can I use the same titanium backup
I don't think so. I believe Titanium Backup if for apps only.
We cant
They're correct. This is why it's always suggested to make a backup in your custom recovery - called a nandroid. Otherwise you'll have to install the stock firmware and re-root.
