You could restore your og backups onto your 3d if you want to risk bricking your phone.
The recovery I use compresses the backup as a tarball file so you could try to open it with something like 7zip. Never tried it myself, so reply back with how it goes.

Use titanium backup it will read the data of your backups you made in recovery and install them if you choose!

If it was saved in your data or the app you were using. But if you were using the native text app on the phone I dont think so.

It will read the DATA backup but whatever you do, DO NOT INSTALL SYSTEM APP's you will screw up your rom. Yes System app's will be listed in the data backup.
What I was talking about if you were not using a market text messaging app then you wont be able to get the texts back.

Heya,
Hence I haven't found anything about this topic (or I'm just dumb), I wanted to post this question.
What I basically want:
- Have all my Apps and their data
- Have all the settings
in one ROM I could flash onto my device in the case that I "accidentaly" brick my phone.
Is there a way to do that?
Cheers.
Use xRecovery.

Alright I am dumb xD. Haven't hought about this one going to test it out in a sec.
Thanks
Edit: So I just got into the Backup & Restore menu and backed up the system, I hope I'm doing everything right.
Sounds like it so far.
Ok I apparently have a folder inside the xRecovery folder. It's named after todays date and there are some system img files etc. in there so I suppose that's it.
Pretty much yes.

If you are talking about xRecovery, all you have to do it make 1 backup, this backs up ALL data/apps/settings (also stuff like call logs, SMS, accounts, boot-animation, themes).
I use restore my main backup multiple times a day when I'm working with ROMs.
If you are talking about a backup that can be restored with X10Flash, well I would also like to know the answer to that.
(how to generate SIN files?)
Is what you guys are talking about like creating a "backup image" like you would for a PC?

Indeed. I need this because of constant rom flashing. I brick my phone way to often and its a hassle to set everything the way it was before.

Your nandroid backups should be located under... clockworkmod/backup/"YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS"
Your backup(s) should be in a folder with the format above as in date and time.

If there are multipe folders under "backups" with different time and dates then those will be all the nandroid backups you have made so far with the most recent one being the one with the newest date and time while the old backups are the ones with the older dates. What do you plan on doing? are you trying to restore to stock 2.1?

Not exactly sure if your phones nandroids will work with your gf's phone. I recommend you create a seperate nandroid on her device just to be safe. Thats if that phone is rooted otherwise disregard what i have said.

Well if her phone is not rooted there is no way to create or restore the nandroid backup since you do not have CWM installed. Unless you know of some other way to create and restore the backups.

Oh i see now. I Forgot about that. Excellent point but technically you are rooted. That update.zip you flashed in stock recovery (reinstall packages) edited some of the system files on your phone in the process and gave you superuser rights or "root" access. So you are rooted just so you know.

I have a Wind Amaze with Ruby installed. S-Off, unlocked, the whole shabang. I have been trouble free for months with this install...
Until yesterday when I installed BusyBox to adjust some Facebook permissions using the Permissions App. All I wanted was the Permissions App, but I needed BB to install it, so I did it without knowing really what it was. What is it exactly?
Now my phone will boot but after I unlock the screen, it will just freeze and reboot like 10 mins later. Sometimes I can get further but within a minute or so, it freezes once again.
Yesterday, I also installed a new 32GB SD card but I don't think that's the problem, as I've tried my old card. I'm considering just reflashing the device with a new ROM but I don't want to have to go through the trouble of reconfiguring everything.
If anyone has a fix or suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have Titanium Backup installed on the phone and I'm fairly sure it was backing up regularly. But how would I use that when I can't even boot the phone? I tried booting into custom recovery and recovering but no files were present.

You'll need to reinstall, since you have no backup to work with and we don't have a flashable zip of the WIND system files for ya, sorry.

Titanium backup makes backups of apps/app data, a system backup via recovery makes a backup of the entire system including all files/apps, etc in the the system partition, that's why you should always make a backup in recovery and keep it on your sd card just in case this happens, busybox and the likes change system files/permissions etc, just in case it doesn't work well, you can use a system backup to restore the system files it modified.
Two totally backups, get the idea?
Ah ha, makes sense. I wish I had known this earlier but I suppose this is how you learn.
Could it be possible to grab the titanium backup files if I attach my phone to my computer in disk mode then transfer them when I install the new ROM?

Should be possible, if you can't get it done in the android interface, reboot into 4EXT recovery and choose the mount USB storage option, should make your memory card pop up like it would on the phone for you to copy your files to your pc.
hi guys,i have a simple question,afte searching of xda,i couldn't get a proper answer so i wish to start a topic.
i have blobs folder in CWM folder,it took about 1 Gig of space.if i delete this folder,does it make or damage the CWM?or the backups will be corrupt?kindly answer.thanks.
I believe they are part of a new CWM incremental backup method and should not be deleted. I did my first backup under that method today and you will notice if you look that the old locations of the backup is less then 20 mb.

All that a 'Son/son's of a human' can do is ask why u messed up with that blob folder in the first place.
if u really see that its aint needed for u any more, then its quite obvious that u arnt into restoring the old backup
In recovery there is an option to free unused backup data, which will detect back up data that isn't needed for old backups anymore. Personally though, I just changed the default backup type back to tar.

Well, you didn't say what version you have, why you are trying to disable the check or what you may have tried already, so Google is probably your best bet for finding an answer under the circumstances.

The "issue" = the fact that you cannot restore your backup. Just trying to help, no need for hostility. Try using 4ext, like someone in your other thread already suggested to you.

I dont use an Evo 3d so I don't know, does he need a specific 4ext for the Evo 3d? could you possibly supply a link he can read up on to use 4ext? He can restore his back up but not everything from his backup he made, the phone will boot and everything its not just the way he backed it up, when it boots its like he booted into a fresh install. He basically wants all his game data and text messages and customizations etc. back the way he had when he made the back up.

a simple search on XDA turned this link up. install any old ROM, install the free 4ext app, and use the app to install the 4ext recovery. After that, reboot and try to restore your backup.
In the future, use the app called Titanium Backup to backup all your apps and data, so that if anything like this happens again, you can easily install a new ROM, then restore each one of your apps and all of your data. Good luck OP.

[Q] how do you disable md5 checksum from Clockworkmod?
Any one?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Old question but i was struggling with this problem myself today as my samsung galaxy trend plus+clockwork mod refused to
recover any backup images by saying "md5 mismatch error" on every image.
The solution is very simple and doesnt require any adb debugging..
edit "nandroid.md5" file in the backup directories, clear all the text and save it as empty.
Do NOT delete the file, but instead save it as empty or if it doesn't exist, create the file and leave it empty.
then try restoring the backups, clockwork mod will bypass the md5 check,and restore the backup.
I'm sorry I don't have cwm.... But any recovery I've used has had an option to disable the check in the advanced settings.
