My wife has a T-Mobile Pulse Mini (Huawei 8110) with CM7.1 and I want to transfer everything to her new Galaxy Europa running CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0 "Galaxy5" Port. Would it work if I flashed a "bare bones" CM7.2 to the Europa then copied the CWM backup over from the Pulse Mini & restored the Data partition from that?
AFAIK,No it won't, you might brick your phone

by 'backups' do you mean apps/system files?
If so I have put a link to the Titanium Users guide (being careful what files you introduce via back up to your new rom.)

6.1. How to restore your backups after installing a ROM (if you wiped your phone)
If you just formatted your SD card, don't forget to copy the "TitaniumBackup" folder (and possibly your license) back from your PC.
Download Titanium Backup from Market
If you intend to restore system data (eg: MMS/SMS) from a different phone/ROM, enable the "System data migration" option now.
Click the Backup/Restore tab
Click Menu (the button), Batch
Click "Restore all missing apps + system data
Reboot your phone
It's done ! The only thing you may have to adjust is usually your wallpaper/widgets.
Thnx for the help...I don't delete them but if I'm on like cherryblur and move to aura they stay fine but if I go from cm7 to aura they give me an old backup from when I used a regular blur rom and not my updated backup from cm7

Hi all,
This is the first time this has happened to me.. A friend of mine wanted me to root their phone for them. I got the thing rooted, installed busybox manually since Gingerbreak didn't install it for me. Rebooted the phone and all was working fine. I then downloaded the market version of CWM and was going to flash recovery, but forgot to do a backup before flashing it.
Now my problem is that after it flashed the recovery and rebooted, the data partition appears to have been wiped. He never had anything like Titanium Backup installed, and I did not do a backup in CWM before hand.
Is there any way to recover the data from the original partition or is it gone for good? All of his contacts, SMS messages, etc are gone, it's like the phone did a factory reset.
I know it was my fault for not backing it up before hand, just hoping something can be done!
Hmmm...
Do you have ad or anything?
Look via root explorer to /data see what's in there.
But now DO BACKUP!!

Hey Everyone. Sorry if I posted in the wrong spot, but I've watched the "noob" video, and I couldn't find anything about my phone on here. So, I've become interested in custom roms, and I'm thinking about learning how to make some. I currently own a Galaxy Proclaim, and I havent been able to create a nandroid backup. I've successfully set up the adb on my Lubuntu Netbook, and I ran adb backup, and apparently that only works for ICS. So, that leaves me with a few questions. How do I make a nandroid backup of gingerbread? What does ROM Manager, from googleplay, back up? And Is there a way I could make a backup manually? I know how to backup the files on my system, but how would I backup the bootloader and everything else? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just curious and determined to make a custom ICS rom, or compile a ROM from source, but I'm afraid to try anything because I don't want to brick my phone.
Buddy do it via cwm.download compatible cwm for ur cell to sd card to root and go stock recovery m0d install zip from sd card and select cwm then select backup restore and in that option just select backup and wait until its done.u need root for flashing cwm in recovery.

Clockwork Manager doesn't support my phone. The phones model number is SCH-S720C. I've tried other backup apps and they back up my apps/media just fine, but I need a full nandroid backup in case I mess up the boot loader or flash the wrong .pit file. I'm not taking any huge risks this time since I bricked my last one. Is there anyway I could make a backup manually? I currently run Lubuntu 12.10, and I've compiled adb and it works right on my computer.

Hi guys,
so i'm pretty new to this rooting/cfw installation, I "updated" to liquid smooth's RC2 jelly bean rom via a dirty flash (didn't know i had to have a data wipe...) I don't really want to lose all my data so is it safe to flash back to RC1 or am i required to data wipe and then flash to RC2 (giving it a shot) or RC1?
thanks for your help!
ps. running on the i9305
pps. would backup with cwm and restore work in backing up my data (apps, contacts, etc...) and then restore only those things ie. not restoring back the operating system just the info?

Hi, if your phone is turning on, why not connect it to a PC and copy everything from internal SD card. Thats what I do everytime I flash a ROM. , you will also start to r which folders to copy
First of all, sorry if my question is one of many repetitions, but i just want to make sure i'm doing all well
So, a week ago, i decided to stop flashing custom roms since i never got satisfied with any of them...mainly because i always lose some of the samsung goodies such as smart stay, Settings Menu Layout or even if the included stock samsung camera were missing the default 'long-press to multiple shots' ability. So i'll keep the stock S3 JB 4.1.2 rom, but i installed siyah kernel to have more control over the low-system settings.
At an initial point, i thought that my phone would be safe if i didn't play with several custom/aosp roms everyday..., but i've encountered many apps that say they could break or bootloop my device, so i don't want to live a 'don't touch anything' life because i think that would be really boring and i just want to get my S3 to my very own 'best' state.
Now, the last (well, the ONLY) time i tried to make a nandroid backup, i was using the philz_touch_5.06.1 recovery for GT-i9300, but...since then, i'm afraid of nandroid backups...
The problem is that the phone got into bootloop, but for me it was ridiculous, because that happened JUST AFTER the completion of the backup, i admit that i before i went into the custom nandroid backup settings and checked the option 'backup /preload'..., do u think that was the problem? i feel like every noob that ticks something without even knowing what is it about..., forgive me plz.
Now, my phone is working ok, but i would like to make a full backup (including kernel if possible) just without getting into bootloop, so, what would you recommend? swithing back to the original CWM? which options may i disable/enable before making the backup?
I would test it by myself, but i'm afraid of having to reinstall everything again...
Ahh, and just another question..., i got a 32gb microsd Class 10, so i would like to use 'ExtSd2InternalSd' solution to automatically install big games and other involved things to the extSd and leave the IntSd just to record FullHd and maybe, a litte bit of swap, would this procedure break the corresponding External/Internal Sd/storage in Philz? (or CWM : P). For example, i don't know if after this, i would try to format the internal sdcard and philz would just format the external one...
So, here are my system specs:
ROM: (Stock) I9300UBEMH2_I9300UVOEMH1_ARO (from Argentina)
Android version: 4.1.2
Kernel: Siyah Kernel 1.9.1
Recovery: philz_touch_5.06.1-i9300
Thanks in advance!

Thanks! It worked, i've made a full backup to external sd and then restored it, the phone (at least within the same rom) boots ok
Sorry for taking too long to reply but i've been a little busy editing some shots made with the phone. Thanks again, really!
