Noob ? I just downloaded twrp when I go to recovery what should I back up there's so many options I really don't know which one to pick. Should i pick all of them and compress or some and compress .please be specific.
LOL... it depends on what youre trying to do?
Mostly, youre going to use recovery to flash zip files... kernals, roms, tweaks etc mostly come in the form of zips, so you'll see one option to install a zip file....
Another thing to do, is wipe your phone before a flash, again done with recovery...You'll go to the WIPE menu, and wipe cache, dalvik, (do it a few times to be sure) and do a data wipe before flashing ROMs, this will ensure a flawless install
Lastly you use nandroid to "backup" the current state of your phone, you do this BEFORE flashing a rom... its like a failsafe, if something F's up during your flash, you can restore this "nandroid" backup to restore you phone to its exact state prior to your flash...
So, nandroid back ups, restoring, flashing zips, and wiping are your basic uses of recovery

Stick with the ones that are already "x'd" off. The only option that I'd suggest adding is Wimax. That will back up your wimax partition, which contains your RSA keys, which are essential to 4g working (lose your RSA keys, lose your 4g forever, so it's good to keep them backed up). Compressing the backup is optional. It will save a considerable amount of space if you choose to compress them, however the backups will take quite a bit longer to complete. I made two backups that were not compressed, and saved them to my computer, because they were over 1GB each, which is absurd. I now compress all of my backups, and all seems well.
Thank you soo much you guys helped me out a lot
If you don't mind me asking, what were the original TWRP recovery options that were selected. When I did my first Nand backup after S-off and rooting I selected all the options to be safe. Then when I went to go make another back up everything was still selected and I know I do not need all those options. Thanks.

To answer your question If I'm correct from top to bottom the first two and also include the Wimax and the compress files .so that's four X's.that's what I have
I did a Nand backup having the first 3 and then Wimax and then when I tried to flash to that backup my phone went black and shut off (thought it had bricked on me) was able to get it to reboot by doing volume down + power button. Am I missing something? Or am I just being dumb when it comes to flashing from a Nand backup?
Are you still having problems with the nand back ups pdawg
So we should wipe data to factory settings before doing the back?
Also, where does titanium backup come into play?

I haven't had time to try it again yet. Though later tonight I will try again when I flash viper rom 1.3
I checked everything under the sun in nandroid menu, so when I go to nandroid options then restore i choose the one I want to restore, it flashes then when I reboot it just sits on the HTC EVO screnn forever! almost 20 min so far. is anybody else having this issue? am I doing something wrong? I did pull the battery once and rebooted but still nothing. I backed up a couple of nice set ups I would like to have back. any ideas would be great

To answer your question about Titanium. This app will back up all your apps--apps only, not your entire system.
This is useful when you flash a new rom because that new rom will not include all the apps you had (obviously). Instead of fishing for each one in the market, simply re-download Titanium and use it to restore your apps (and data if you like). I really don't use Tatanium as much as I used to. This is because I don't download a crapload of apps and when I install a new rom it doesn't take me very long to re-download the ones I like from the market.
BUT, if you have an app that you can't get through the market, then Titanium is vital to restoring it.
Hope this helps.
It's a random softbrick, no changes have been made for months, so I've not backed up for ages, I want to svae contacts and messages and app data.
Will odin wipe data, can it be repaired with CWM no wipe flash?
Long version.
I've been using ICS for 4 months.
I did a wipe and fresh install on the release of the official GB ICS.
I then used clockwork mod to changle toggles and clock, then triangle away.
Things were ok until a month ago when I hit the App to SD memory bug, which was fixed be removing apps back to internal.
Again been fine for about a month.
Then today, random lock on "Samsung Galaxy s II gt-9100" screen.
No changes have been made for ages, the only change was adding on{x} today.
Whats the best way to try and get this fixed? I want to save as much data as I can, I've not backed up for a few months, as I wasn't ,making any changes.
Should I just Just use odin and see what happens, or is there a better way, even if it is longer?
Can I put a no wipe flash on my SD and use CWM to try and repair? Is this a more complicated risk move? if so whats the risk.
I'd really like to keep as much as I can 'cos I've got the perfect setup for me (besides the boot lock...)
THanks folks.

I've already got the files and odin ready to go.
I just don't want to wipe my data.
I was wondering if a cwm rom would be able to fix it. or Do i have to use odin
I don't want to loose data or current setup and apps

Yeah, thanks for the help anyway.
I didn't know if using CWM to flash a different rom would work.
I was hoping a no wipe rom would fix the error was and keep my apps and data.
It didn't.
I used odin to flash a base > then CWM > then resurection.
I've lost loads of data :-(
But my phones sweet
lol, you win some and you loose some.
I really should know better, as a sys admin I bollock folks all the time for not doing backups. luckily I backed up messages recently, so should also have contacs there. Just all my save games, app data, is gone

I use the clipboard constantly, but suddenly a couple days ago, when ever I click COPY (whether I'm in a memo, a browser, an ebook, ANYTHING), my tablet freezes, and I'm forced to reboot, to get it to work again. I tried a cleaning app to clear my cache, and it cleared cache in everything, but when I got to point of clearing the cache in the clipboard, that crashed the app. I contacted samsung tech support, and their only answer was to reset to factory default. Well, I'm a noob, and I had a very hard time rooting my tablet. 1. I don't want to undo that, and HOPE that I'm able to get it to root again. 2. I don't want to lose all my apps, photos, ebooks, videos, etc. The tech agent showed me how I could back up my videos and picture files to a computer. Well, I don't have a working computer right now. And if I did, isn't there a way, you can back up your apps, and app shortcuts and everything else, as well?
Even if I can back up everything, does anyone have any other ideas on how to maybe get my clipboard to work again, without starting over? I can't live without my copy and paste.
Thanks in advance.

Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache ( dalvik is under advanced settings ) ... Reboot.. Should be good to go. If that doesn't work let me know.. I know another way but its a little more involved.. As far as backups go Titanium Backup is the best..

Thanks so much. I wiped the cache again, and also wiped the dalvik cache. Also did a full back-up while I was there. When it rebooted, it said Andriod was upgrading, and then it optimized all my applications. The bad news is, that the copy feature still doesn't work.
vickstix said:
Did I mention I'm a newbie? LOL I guess this might all be over my head. Because I don't have icons for CWM or TWRP in my apps, nor do I know how to install them. I see them both in Rom Manager, but I don't have a clue how to use that very well either. When I first rooted my device, I even paid for something to get CWM to work (I think that was what I paid for), but never could get it to work. Kept getting some kind of permissions error. Sorry, I'm really not that tech stupid, but when it comes to android, I guess I am, because I seem to be clueless to all this. Been reading the forums for hours and hours trying to learn more, but it seems to confuse me more, the more I read. *sigh* I looked for CWM in the app store, but can't find it. I changed my backup in rom manager back and forth from cwm to twrp, but I still can't figure out HOW to open either of those. Thanks for the help. I apologize for not knowing how to use either of those. Is there a place I can download and install either of them outside the play store maybe?
Anyone know of any classes one can take for android tablets?

Do Not... I Repeat... Do Not Use ROM Manager For This Device.... Its cool.. I'll help ya out. Cwm/twrp are custom Recovery's for many devices. These custom Recovery's replace our stock Recovery's. They are not Apps.. To get to recovery you can hold down you're power button until the power off window pops up. Then select reboot.. Then select recovery.. Or it might say recovery on the first screen. If you don't have this option..go to developer options in settings and click, power menu or advanced reboot. Then check recovery to show up. If you're stock rooted you will need to power off the device... Then hold the power button and volume down button..( simultaneously ). Wait until the Android screen comes up..it will show the galaxy animation then go black..just keep holding and then a new screen will popup. Use the volume down key( only ) to switch between download mode( on the right ) and recovery ( on the left ). Select recovery by moving to it and the volume up button as the select button... This will take you too custom recovery if you have it( it wil say the version of cwm/twrp at the top of the page. If not than you have no custom rec. We will have to flash one...

So sorry, after I left my long reply, I was playing with rom manager, and I somehow got into the clockworkmod recovery mode. I have never seen that mode before, by rebooting into recovery mode the regular way. Anyway, I did what you said, and when I came back, I did NOT see your reply yet, so I edited my reply. LOL Then I saw that I had a notification, and when I clicked on it, I was able to see your reply. I'm going to see if I get into cwm by doing what you said above. Then I'll be back to see if you have any other ideas. Oh, and the good news is, even though I still can't copy, yet, now it doesn't freeze the whole tablet. It just froze the browser I was in, when I was testing to see if the copy feature would work. So, that might be a step in the right direction, at least.

You could use ROM manager to just boot to recovery,but nothing else.. I don't use it because I've had it freeze up my device.. As I've read others have had this happen as well... Once you get to rec..remember what version it is...this is important for many things..after you get a feel for it just wipe the cache and dalvik cache as I stated before and you should be good to go..if not.. I'll track down what apk clipboard is part of and we'll wipe that apk's cache..
cwn recovery mode works now
Oh cool, that worked now. Just as an FYI when I held down the power key, the only options I have are power off, airplane mode, or restart. I chose restart, and it just restarted. So I powered off, and then held down the power and volume down buttons. Before, when I did that, it just went to stock recovery. It changed after I played around in rom manager. It said there was an upgrade for cwm so I upgraded it. Then I went into recovery mode from there. But I just tried going there, the way you said, and that worked too, NOW. YAY! So, you don't think I should ever use rom manager then?
Oh, and it said it was upgrading my android, after I rebooted, but I still have android 4.04 so I'm not sure what it upgrade, exactly. LOL I've been wanting to upgrade to something better. (custom rom) But still trying to learn more, before I do that. So for right now, I just wish I could get my clipboard working again. Arghhh..
Thanks so much for all your help. I REALLY appreciate it. Oh, and also thanks for pointing out that it's NOT an app. That makes so much more sense now. :good:

OK thanks, I won't use that anymore then. Especially, now that I can get to it, just by rebooting into it.
Anyway, when I said I did what you said, I should have been more clear. I did wipe the cache again, and also the dalvik cache. Clipboard still not working. But it's not as bad as it was. Before when I clicked on copy, it would freeze the whole tablet. Now it just freezes whatever app I'm in. Also, before I stopped getting the paste button. Now it shows up again, but if I use it, then it also freezes the app. So, I guess we're making progress, huh?

OK.. First let's make a nandroid backup( usually refered to as a nan/nano/nandroid )..
1..First..Make sure you're phone has a 50 or more percent charge..
2..Now..boot into recovery..
3..Now scroll down to ( backup/restore ) and pick it
4..Now pick ( backup ) and let it do its thing...This can take a bit of time depending on the recovery and the amount of data/apps being backed up.
Once this is done.. Reboot..how easy was that..
OK.. Now let's make a titanium back up..
1..Go to play store and install titanium backup. ( the paid version is worth the money ) But the free version will work.
2..Open Titanium Backup
3..Give it root permission
4..Now pick backup/restore in header
5..Now pick the check mark in top right corner
6..Under the heading..backup. Pick backup all user apps.. Push the check mark on next page. Let it do its thing...
How easy was that... You could also backup apps and system data... Just remember when restoring a titanium backup,that if the backup has system data in it... it will not work right on a different ROM...( when you start flashing ROMs ) Let me know how it goes..

OK thank you. I did already do a full back-up when I wiped the cache. So I just have to do the Titanium backup, now. I think I'll probably get the paid version, if you say it's worth it. Battery is almost dead though, so I'll need to let it charge first. Seems easy enough, but where I get confused, is how do I restore everything, once I do a factory reset? Won't the reset erase titanium and all the backup files along with everything else? Oh, and will the restore also put all my bookmarks back in my browsers, too? Or will I lose all my bookmarks?

The restore will put everything back, but you want to make one after the factory reset and you titanium backup restore.( this one will be a safe one..no bugs ) if you need to wipe again.. You will have to re-download titanium backup or do like I do and make a copy of the apk and keep it on you're sdcard( internal for me..that way I can always get to it ) I use ex file explorer to make apk backups.. I actually use it for all my file manager needs on all my devices..

Oh, OK I get it now. I guess I was thinking it would wipe the sdcard TOO! LOL Sorry for being so clueless. You taught me a LOT today. And I really appreciate it. So, I guess that titanium put's it's backups on the sdcard, as well, then. I went into ES File Explorer to try and put titanium apk on SD card but I couldn't figure out how to do that, so I'll just re-download that, after I wipe it out. LOL Letting the battery charge, and then I'll be back later to let you know how it went.
THANKS AGAIN!
