What's the difference between doing a NANDROID backup and having a copy of the stock rom on your PC to flash via ODIN? I went from stock to CM7 without making a backup and instead got a copy of the stock on my pc.
i'am a n00b here......
but i think nandroid backup is save EVERYTHING on the internal memory......
including installed apps, contact, message......

I think the same too.
NANDROID backup backups everything on your internal memory,you apps,settings,data,your rom,everything.By telling having a copy of the rom on your PC,I think you mean that you have a copy of the firmware on your PC.Its not the same at all,where is the data and all your apps?NANDROID can do that
Or you could take individual copies of all of your apps and setting using titanium backup.

Thanked for the info. And yeah, I have a copy of the firmware on the PC and all my apps and settings backed up by Titanium. So I'm guessing I should make a back up as soon as I get back to my stock rom just in case, right? And what if I decide to make a copy of the CM7 I'm using now instead of the stock rom? Does it work the same?

You cant restore the CM7 system apps to devoid final. You can restore the apps/games that you downloaded to the devoid final though titanium backup. Just dont restore apps like google maps/talk/ etc which comes preinstalled.
PS: hows the devoid final rom ?
That's right, Use Titanium Backup. I haven't flashed void.final yet because of all the hassle of restoring apps and data.
Firs things first... use Titanium Backup or something similar along with you nand backups. This should make restoring apps easy. Run the backup batch and then the restore batch on the new rom. I do not recommend restoring system data, it may cause faults in the system, especially when going from 2.2 to 2.3 and back.
So, man, restore the nand backup of your CM7, use Titanium Backup batch, re-flash your void.final and then restore the Titanium Backups. That should do it. This procedure is a must if you want to test custom roms, or just flash often.
Cheers!

Mate, better get used to Titanium Backup, it's a life saver if you like modding.
Word of advice: update your backups, and (this is an important one) backup (copy on HDD) your Titanium backups (you can find them on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/)!

Yeah. Getting Pro with better scheduling (plus Dropbox sync) is worth it, IMHO. Also, the backups are much faster with Pro.

Ah, you mean SMS/MMS... Well, dunno about Titanium. I am backing them up via GO SMS Pro; never liked the stock messaging app really. It can do scheduled backups (binary/XML, full/incremental) and even send the backups to your email.
i will try SMS Backup and Restore from market. if it does not work, i'll try yours! thanks for ur time man and all of u there who shared his time answering my questions!
Hello,
I am currenty running 2.3.4 kph fw. So i wanted to know that is there any way that when i flash a custom rom i can have all my data back e.g themes,apps,settings and sms etc? How to do this? Last time i made app backup with titanium and then updated to 2.3.4 and when restored it didnt work..

Why didnt titanium backup work?
Dont know but restoring with that just messed up everything and i had to reflash the rom

yes, only install CWM and you make a NANdroid Backup, ... flash whit the new room and reinstalling the recovery CWM, and give in advanced-backup-restore here only select data...

I have been using it for long. But never had any problem. Don't get what problem you had!
Jeah, install CWM recovery and use NANDROID backup(like adiles sayed) for RESTORING(its the BEST WAY). But if you want only restore you APPS, then you can use TITANIUM BACKUP. It works very well!
CHEERS!
What exactly does nan droid backup restore??
Sent from my Galaxy ace using Tapatalk
Nandroid is a complete backup of your system. But with advanced restore you can also only restore the phone settings.
I wouldn't advise you to restore settings from a Froyo ROM to a Gingerbread one though.
Same goes with Titanium Backup. When you upgrade to GB, just reinstall the Apps from market and only restore Appdata with Titanium.
When changing from a stock gb rom to a custom gb rom is it safe to do a complete nandroid backup? Or i should only backup the app data with titanium?

Both the things are completely different.
Nadroid backup is used backup complete rom(system, recovery, apps, data, cache, settings).
Whereas titanium backup can only backup apps & data.
You can only restore with titanium backup after you have a working rom & titanium backup installed.
Whereas with nandroid you can restore if you have cwm recovery working.
Hit thanks if I helped!!!

I have unnamed ROM on my phone now. I want to jump into ICS, but I had a question regarding backups.
I have a nandroid backup, I have a MyBackup backup of all my contacts, sms, mms, apps and data, that kind of thing. I have plugged the phone into the PC and physically copied and pasted the entirety of the internal and external memory to my PC.
Is there ANYTHING else I can do to make this as painless as possible? The new ROM will undoubtedly call for a complete wipe and reinstall.
Is there any way to make a bit-by-bit image of the phone before I start, so that if I don't like it or it doesn't work, I can just go back to exactly the way it was before I started? Or am I asking too much?

That's pretty much what a NANDROID backup is as long as it doesn't get corrupted.

that's kind of what I thought, I ran it twice (one to internal one to external) just in case.
Once the phone's charged I'm off to the races I guess.
Might I suggest that you save your NANDROID backups to your computer? That would be a good precautionary step. They are under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or something like that.
Have you ever heard of Titanium Backup?
NVM you need nandroid haha
Careful about replacing system data from one rom to another with MyBackup! That stuff doesn't end well.

1.) Copy Nandroid back to your PC along with your Titanium Backup files.
2.) Run the MD5 file through a checker (I use QuickPar) to confirm the backup is not corrupted
3.) Backup your SMS with a market tool of your choosing
4.) Remember your settings and whatnot
5.) Make sure you have any flashable scripts you use availaable to reflash if you're using them on the new ROM.
6.) FLASH new ROM, then use Titanium Backup to install your APPS (not system stuff). Restore your texts, then flash whatever other junk you want back.
7.) ENJOY
Hi there, I'm kinda new to android and was wondering: is there a way to back up the S3 like the iPhone? Where everything gets backed up into a file and if i were to reformat my phone I can just restore it and everything will be there. Thanks. :angel:
I really like Go Backup. Never had an issue with it, even from going to stock firmware to CM9 or 10, which usually ruins titanium backups.
But the one file backup would be a nandroid, which is done through recovery.

Yes you can restore but it is not advisable..will create conflicts and FCs..Best bet is to restore all the apps with data from TB..all the apps will have their settings intact..only problem is TW launcher but if you are going to AOSP then that is not a problem...otherwise backup TWlauncher also and restore it with Data..force closes may come though..
Titanium Backup works great for me, but be careful restoring system aps.
Make a nandroid backup just in case you mess something up

Hi
I want to install a costume Rom on my phone
but first I want to make a backup of my stock rom (just in case)
I found a backup option in the CWM app
so i need to know:
dose this option backs up only the Rom or will it back up the kernel also?
Are there better ways to backup the rom?
in general what does the "create a backup" option do? (in CWM in mean)
thanks in advance
best regards
backs up all but not the EFS and Modem

the backup option will backup every thing on you system and data partition but not the kernel and modem..
there is no better way than this..
correct me if I am wrong:
1-the backup options backs up my data (such as save data for games) too
2-if I want to restore to my stock firmware,this backup WON'T do it properly since it won't restore the kernel

It backups everything including kernel except modem and efs. So if you restore it back you will have your stock kernel there

As Bala said Kernel is backed up..so I may be wrong here..but I read somewhere that kernel is not backed up..so anyways..you will have the stock kernel if I am wrong..
the games data is stored on your internal sdcard..so it wont be backed up..and in between if require a factory reset it will be lost..
thanks guys
you helped me so much (and fast)
and one more thing i remembered right now:
the backup will be a CWM flashable zip file.right?

To restore you go to backup and restore and select restore(from internal or external sd card) depending on where the back up was created.
