How do ou backup my system defult rom without having to unlock the bootloader?
I think you might be able to use clockworkmod recovery to make nandroid backups without rooting.

You might be able to use ROM manager or ROM toolbox as long as you have root your best bet would be ROM toolbox since I'm guessing ROM manager is gonna want you to install cwm 1st and I'm pretty sure the would need unlocked bootloader

You can backup all your apps and settings with titanium backup Just with root access, but you'll need nandroid to backup your whole rom, which implies to use a custom recovery, which needs an unlocked bootloader.
Rom manager does'nt backup anything on itself, it Just uses CWM.

I know about Titanium, just to start with.
My question is about backup files using CWM, if I install a new rom and restore my system/cache/data will the phone work normally after that?
My main goal is to keep my installed apps as they are on the new ROM, so i guess data is the only thing i need to backup by right?
Thanks in advance!
Backup system + data using titanium backup.
Also backup current rom using cwm incase anything goes wrong while flashing new rom.
After u instal new rom instal titanium backup and restore.

Hi
I am about to install Villain rom 2.1 onto my GS2. As per instructions, I have backed up using the app that got installed by the cf root called CWM.
I would lose all my setting etc when I install the rom right? If I want to get it back while keeping the villain rom do i restore from CWM. And will this keep the root and the custom rom.??
Thanks. Please help. ASAP
Yes you will lose your settings, and app data, if you want to save it, use titanium backup and backup user Apps and data.
You can restore anything in white or green, but items in red will most likely cause problems
The backup you made is a nandroid backup which if you restore you will restore your whole old rom.
As far as root, cf root will auto root, and villainrom is rooted so you can just install the superuser app from the market.

You mean on the homescreens etc? Depending on the launcher, you can try backing up twlauncher and restoring it after you flash, but it may not work, so take a nandroid backup before you try.

Just wondering......
I'm on simply honey 5.1 and have been updating with it's no wipe script. I'm curious in trying MIUI and Cm7. I just wanna know if I could restore with a cwm backup, and get ask my apps back without having to do a titanium backup.
thanks!

I believe you can but you if you go to CM7 or MIUI, you will have to odin back to stock if you want to revert to anything else. But from there you won't be able to just restore your CWM backup because CWM does not backup the kernel. Best thing to do then is to flash any GB rom to get back to GB kernel. Then you can restore your CWM backup.
Anyone correct me if this is not the case.
But wool all of my market apps still be installed thru the cwm restore? Even if the ROM I switch to wipes?

Yeah the CWM backup backs up your current config exactly as it is (*except the kernel). So if you end up restoring, it should be right back to the way it was when you backed up.
Hi
I got a cheap LG GT540 a wee while back and now I want to try and install a more recent version of Android (I currently have version 2.1 installed). I think I understand how to do this but the biggest concern I have is that my phone gets bricked and I have to reinstall. The tutorials I have encountered are mostly over a year old and I want to be certain that I can backup the whole image on my phone and recover it. I would be grateful if you could please confirm what the current best ROM Backup/recovery app to do this?
The best way if via Nandroid backups from your recovery.
(On CWM Recovery: Backup&Restore->Backup or Backup&Restore->Restore)
A Nandroid will give you a full image of everything, Titanium Backup will allow you to pick and choose what you do or don't restore. For both you need a rooted device.
Yeah, with Titanium Backup you can backup/restore the apps and settings you want. It´s very useful if you went to another ROM like MIUI or so.
I always use CWM recovery and Titanium Backup. Safe and sound
I just use a nandroid back up.
Titanium back up can extract bits from a nandroid backup as well.
in the play store u can even get apps backing up ur call lists and sms
Thanks everybody for replying.
I had problems trying to backup ROM, got impatient and finally managed to upgrade to CyanogenMod v6. It wasn't the strategy I had in mind but finally got there in the end!!
My Backup Pro is a good application!!
+1 for Titanium Backup
CWM is what I always use.
CWM is the best...
some app can't restored with titanium backup...
I usually just use the Nandroid backup inside CWM.
I am also using titanium backup (paid version), but I am told not to restore the system data of the previous ROM after updated to a new ROM, because the system data of the previous ROM will cause instability to the new ROM.
I am doing automated backups with Titanium (paid version), and I also make nandroid backup every now and then.
Can Anyone give me the .apk link of a backup/restory app? I looked for one in the play store..but they all are paid..I want to root..but dont have a credit card..please help

I'm also using the titanium backup, but you need the pro version to access some features. I'm satisfied with it.
So I must buy it? There is no free rooting and back up/restoring app? Is Titanium the best one?

Did my searches, the closest answer requires an unlocked bootloader. Ok, here is the situation:
Aim: I want to backup GB without losing my apps + data.
Root: No
Bootloader: Locked
Will this work?
1. Update GB to ICS (assuming it doesn't upgrade my apps to some ICS-compatible version)
2. Root ICS without losing data.
3. Backup data with Titanium Backup (again, hopefully ICS doesn't change my apps + data)
4. Unlock my bootloader (yes, it'll wipe my data)
5. Flash GB using flashtool
6. Restore app+data using Titanium Backup
7. Install CWM
8. Do a nandroid backup
Thanks XDA
I guessed nobody had a clue on this matter, so I experimented and failed miserably.
1. I updated from GB to ICS
2. Rooted
3. Backed up with Titanium
4. Unlocked the bootloader
5. Flashed pulak's Fluidity ROM to get a sense of its speed
6. Loaded titanium backup and backups are MISSING!
I lost my backups because Titanium backed up to /mnt/sdcard which was later wiped by bootloader unlocking process
Use the method to root gb
Thats simple
Now since u have a rooted gb

Is that so difficult??

It's either I'm an idiot or you are..
You can't root GB Sola without unlocking the boot loader..
Prove me wrong..
