2nd question in as many days...can you tell im new at this?
So I tried to get fancy and change keypad colors and bit off more than I could chew. My phone is messed up. I did however backup before I started playing with anything using Clockwork. The problem I am having is I have never actually restored a backup from the recovery menu. the only time I have done it was when I did it from the actual app. I can mount my phone in recovery (via USB-MS toggle) and see on the SD card that the backups I made are there...So how the heck do I load them up? Thanks in advance!
To use a backup using clockwork, go to the backup, restore in the recovery menu and click restore. it will then ask if you are sure, click yes and you should be good.

That is what I thought. however when I boot in recover and go to "Backup/Restore" my only options are...
-Nand backup
-Nand + ext backup
-Nand restore
-BART backup
-BART restore
..and none of those have my backup.
I was able to fix my problem though. i just flashed another rom, re-downloaded the app and installed my backup from there. I still cant figure out why I cant do it from recover =/ Oh well
You would go to nand restore, then there would be only one option with some letters and numbers so click that and your back up is there. The name will probably be a date unless you changed the name

That's probably Amon RA, which only puts and looks for Nands in one place, and Clockwork Mod puts them another.
To get into Clockwork Mod from Amon RA, use Amon RA to flash the file "update.zip", which ROM Manager put in the root of your SD card. This doesn't overwrite anything. This is what "loads" Clockwork Mod, now you can access the Clockwork Mod Nand backups. Cheers!
any one know how i can make a backup nandroid, i wann try to make a custom lockscreen but i dont wanna get screwed if it does not work. then i will be stuck with no lock screen and i will have to install shooter again
If you're rooted and flashed a recovery, boot into recovery and do a nandroid.
Tell me what recovery you're using and I can give you a step by step (well for TWRP I can now...for CWM is have to ref my wifes EVO). Look for my post about TWRP nandroid backups in this forum for more info. Shoot for getting system, data, boot, and Wimax. Id also recommend a separate backup of just Wimax.
The steps (from memory for TWRP) are
Boot to recovery
Nandroid menu
Backup
Select the items mentioned above (I think its defaults plus Wimax)
Then backup nooaawz at the top.
Hope this helps

nandroid backups are very large for this device. nandroid backups are great to create a full system backup. you can also create individual nandroid backups per partition on twrp. creating a nandroid of the system partition should be a fairly good size.
in regards to theming and file editing, if you're looking at only making a custom lockscreen, it will save you time, effort and disk space to duplicate the files you'll be editing. i.e. if you are only going to edit a few files (as would be needed for the lockscreen), when you first adb pull those files, save a duplicate copy as the original somewhere safe. then if your edits break the file, reboot into recovery and adb push your original files back into place and you'll be set to go.
i am new to all this but managed to flash kh3 and root it.
i paid for the pro version of titanium and backed up everything on my galaxy s2 but it backs up to SD. isnt this the internal sd storage and thus would wipe when flashed with another firmware?? i looked into the CWM that came with the firmware but this is just a recovery console isnt it?
i guess i need some guidance of how to properly backup but maybe i want too much. i really was thinking along the lines of a ghost image of everything even things like APN settings etc.
any help appreciated guys.
The sd card isn't wiped when you install any other firmware.
The recovery console has a backup/restore feature, it makes an image of the firmware and software that's installed on the phone.
when i clicked the backup part of cwm it took me to the recovery console where it had factory reset, wipe partition ( or whatever it said) etc etc, i didnt then see it do a backup?
cheers mate

Sounds like you only have Recovery console & not CWM. If you had CWM, you would see tons of options.
I always have a backup of my current ROM in CWM it's absolutely essential in case things go wrong which they have on occasions, i also back up my apps weekly witt Titanium Backup and delete the previous backup.

Which kernel are you using?
kh3 from intratech's thread.
i downloaded rom manger and did the top option to get the latest cwm i think but when i tried to backup it errored and i had to press home to restart??
I just use titanium, backup all my apps to external sd card.
Format phone or install a new rom, and just restore all apps with 1-click via titanium.

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but what the heck.
I have Titanium backup and it backs up to Dropbox. Now if I Flash a new ROM, how do I go about restoring the backup?
In WinMo I have a backup program that created a zipped up file of backups and a small exe file that unpacked and restored the files (complete restore, ROM upgrade restore, etc).
Should use both!

Batch restore.
Left button at the bottom of your phone > batch
Restore all from there.
If you set your folder location to an external sd card, you can format or install a new rom and your apps wont be touched. You can do a batch restore of all your apps from within titanium.

Well that's your problem, your using a stock kernel, use cf-roots kernel that has cwm already built in.

Combine titanium media sync with titanium backup and you are sorted.
I have set automatic backup once a week, all is then synced via dropbox when i connect my phone on charger. This way I also backup all the pics and videos I take.
One thing I was wondering is there anyway to have titanium and premiere key backed up initself....in the sense that whenever I restore I always have to go to market get the key and the titanium app then started restoring...maybe I could go to my storage install them from there then reinstall instead off faffing with the market?
apologies if this is a silly question
I have the key on my external sd card .

CWM recovery backup and restore = Nandroid backup
Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.
Features of CWM include:
- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps
- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)
- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file
- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'
Amongst others...
How to install CWM
If you have already rooted your phone using the CF-root Kernel, then you already have CWM! If not, then just install the kernel linked to above in the 'how to root your phone' section
How to make a NANDroid backup using CWMBackups are important because they allow you to restore your ROM incase flashing goes wrong, or you phone starts playing up and displaying wierd bugs.
To make a backup, you need to boot into CWM recovery (done through the 'cwm' app installed onto your phone when you flash the cf-root kernel). Then, you need to navigate down to 'backup/restore' using the volume keys, and select it using the home key. From here, just click 'backup' and you are all set! Leave your phone make the backup (its takes some time) and then just reboot when it tells you its finished. To restore your backup, do the same but instead of clicking backup, click 'restore' instead. Choose which backup you would like to restore and leave the phone to do its magic. Done.
Thanks for your very precise reply.
