With my HTC Desire, I used to make NAND backups all the time.
Is this possible with the Mini Pro too? I have rooted but not unlocked bootloader.
Grtz
no way to do this?
I also used to have an HTC Desire. I just installed a custom kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery, and there is the "backup and restore". I never used this function but it is there if you manage to get CWM on your device.

I don't think you can get into recovery without unlocking your bootloader.
And since you need to get into recovery to do a nandroid backup, I think you're out of luck until you unlock your bootloader...
There is cwm for locked bl in dev section thread by nobodyatall. I have tested it back then when my phone not unlocked yet and confirmed can go into recovery and do backup (restoring not tested tho as i unlocked my bl soon after that so for that part i cant say it is working or not)

Apparently there's even an app which automates the install of this 'recovery'...

You can unlock your htc legend at HTC DEV.
Once the new file is installed and the phone is s-off, how do I re-root the phone?
Exactly! Also my question! They want you to upgrade your Bootloader which will disable you from rooting (all methods I've heard of require old versions Bootloader).
Any solution before we dive into this WONDERFUL UNLOCKED REALM?
Hi, just signed up to HTC dev to see what's going on with bootloader unlock, I started the procedure but told me it wants to delete everything on my phone, bugger that.
This is HTC official root method, it says you can load custom rom's and change the recovery but it is still s-on to protect the radio and sim lock (network).
Now if u are not already rooted then its gonna make it hard, esspecialy to backup, however we still have revolutionary temp root to backup with titanium.
For those already rooted, I'm not sure if there is any advantage, except you can flash custom recovery, we have fakeflash so not much point IMO.
Oh, just realised it gives unrestricted access to /system folder so that might make it worth while after all..

Do we have to go back to stock before running this or can it be run with a custom ROM installed?

Good question. I suspect it might only work with unrooted legends.
If that is the case its gonna be a big hassle, but not impossible.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
wow wow wow WOOOW!!! I didn't expected this!!!!! I will unlock my bootloader and install the clockwork recovery ASAP!
For rooted legend you can make a nandroid, install the RUU, install a recovery (the .img recovery from the rom manager site) and restore the nandroid
Do you plan on doing it on yours?
I noticed that there is also a wifi security update out for the legend too,
The bootloader unlock is 3.15.405.5, and the wifi fix is 3.15.405.6, so I guess it has to be in that order or the bootloader unlock wont run.
Good,Now my phone has hboot unlocked, but is there a way to disable the security flag and finally get SOFF now ?
Stevenstrike,
Did you install that update on top of your cm custom rom?
Any problems at all?
No
Just find a HTC stock rom for your legend, then update the rom via OTA if needed, then try to apply the hboot update, after that use the htcsupertoolv3 to gain perm root, and if you want, flash cwm fastboot to access cwm as recovery.
Thanks,
Are you applying their Wifi security fix as well?

Never heard of that, besides my radio is already 7.13.35.05, so i think i dont have to apply this.
Edit : Link to gain Perm Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432074 (link is for wildfire S but also work for Legend)
and link to flash CWM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244371&highlight=cwm ( then do a fastboot flash recovery <recoveryFile>.img )
Ah ok, I see that the Bootloader unlock is software version 3.15.405.5, security update is 3.15.405.6, does that make a difference or is it purely the radio that matters?

Edit:- Now Hboot 1.02
Not at the moment, I am already rooted & happy with what I have ATM. I can do everything I need via recovery and android commander. Might give it a go at a later date.

I still says S-ON but you can do anything that requires r/w permission on /system.
Tested with SU update, BusyBox installation, host write with AdAway.
Gees this is complicated, almost as hard and confusing as rooting hboot 1.01 in the first place.
I have downloaded the hboot 1.02 update, I'm wondering if you can just do that on its own on a rooted phone?
I just worry that it might do some real damage if you do, cause I don't think we can go back to 1.01 or other hboot later.

You've got to click on it and...baaaam! It gets bigger
I am very new to this and did something as my friend said, really stupid. I rooted my Evo LTE with the one click root method. This installed TWRP Recovery. After a few days I found a ROM I wanted to install. I installed ROM manager and along with this it installed Clockworkmod. I tried to install the rom from the zip I put on the root but clockwork opens up as my recovery instead of TWRP and does not run any commands. So after trying to get clockwordmod to work and couldn't... I decided to unroot phone and just re-root (yes very stupid). So after unrooting via SuperUser, I tried to install the RUU and it would'nt install as bootloader/recovery not work. I have no clue what to do
Are you running the ruu on your pc? It's not something you flash on your phone.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
cwm recovery dont work on the evo LTE.. u have to flash the twrp 2.2.0 recovery.. yea the ruu is like a tool.. plug ya phone in and run it.. very easy

You have to relock your bootloader to run an ruu.

Try to flash TWRP again. If your able to do this then running a ruu is not nessary. As stated before clockworkmod recovery has problems on the Evo LTE.

Thank you thank you, I was able to relock the bootloader last night. Tonight I will try and reflash TWRP. This has been a good learning experience so far. At least i didn't brick the phone As the phone is no longer rooted do i need to root it as part of my flashing TWRP? The one click root method installs TWRP as part of the whole process.

You do not need to be rooted to flash a recovery but your bootloader needs to be unlocked. If your unlocking your bootloader using htcdev method then you don't need to be rooted. If your unlocking your bootloader using lazypanda method then you need root or temp root before you can run lazypanda.

i was using this method, roter froze at installing recovery, and now i think my phone is bricked. it wont power on and i cant access bootloader
I unlocked the bootloader on my Rezound a few hours ago, but ever since then it has been stuck in a bootloop. I wasn't on stock though, so did that have anything to do with it? I've tried reflashing the ROM, and that doesn't help.
How did you flash another ROM without unlocking your bootloader?
Agreed.. If you weren't on stock then your bootloader must have been previously unlocked.. what Rom are you using/trying to use.? You need to have a custom recovery installed after you unlock, you couldn't have flashed a rom from stock recovery..

Bootloader was locked, but it was unlocked previously, and a custom recovery had been installed. When I got the phone, it was rooted, S-Off, and on the stock ROM. It had Amon Ra's recovery already installed, but again, as I said the bootloader was locked.
EDIT: Oh and the ROM I was using (successfully before the unlock) was CounterShrike.

Well first off if you were s-off why did you need to unlock your bootloader? What hboot are you using?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Collin is right.
All you really need to do is wipe everything and flash a ROM. Since you are s-off everything else will be taken care of.

Okay. I haven't really been using HTC devices so I didn't know what S-Off actually did. I went ahead and fixed it with the RUU.

What is the best backup app for my non rooted Nexus 10?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
You can actually backup your device with TWRP and it will do a complete backup of your device, even if you aren't rooted. However, I'm not sure if you can restore it if you are unrooted. What you do is flash the recovery through fastboot, which requires adb on your computer. It's a little complicated, but that's how I backed up my device before I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.
For backing up just apps I think my backup can do it non rooted. But that may only be the premium version

Can you flash TWRP though if you bootloader is locked? I am guessing that since the OP is not rooted, he/she probably doesnt have the tablet unlocked either. And with a bootloader unlock it wipes all data, so it wont help if TWRP or CWM cant be flashed with a locked bootloader.

Actually you can. You just boot recovery rather than flashing it. I wanted to unlock and root my device but I had already set it up and had it for a few weeks. I booted into recovery through fastboot and backed up my device. Then I transfered the backup folder as well as the rest of my internal storage to my computer so it wouldn't be deleted when i unlocked my bootloader. Then I unlocked, booted recovery again, restored my backup, and then rooted and I was now unlocked and rooted without losing anything

yes you can restore from backup. it will come on with everything you had on there at the time of backup.
to receive ota, wipe system, restore backup, and flash stock recovery. also lock bootloader via scotty123's method.
some people reporting ota working fine without locking bootloader. but stock recovery must be there for it to work

Aha.. is there any way to unlock bootloader without htc dev and I think yes but what is the difference between them. And just to be clear to install custom rom I have to unlock bootloader then root then installing CWM and then flash the rom .. Root and CWM does not affect my data so I can backup them..
And thank you so much
unlock without htc dev only possible with soff. so no on stock phone.
not gonna explain soff and unlock, read forums. explained there
to install rom, just unlock bootloader.install recovery of your choice thats it. the rom you install will probably be rooted anyway!
