So even though I have been s-off since the Panda hit the scene, I think those that have yet to unlock/root might REALLY like to know this.
Basically you can create a back up using ADB on your NON-ROOTED device. Unlock/Root (which we all know will require a factory reset when using HTCDev Unlock) and then with your freshly rooted device, you can restore from the ADB backup you create.
I haven't tried this out yet (just got the update and attached change log) but might try it out just to see. Lucky for me all the devices I support have been Panda *certified but this will be real handy if I have to deal with a un-s-off-able device.

That's one of the very first apps I ever bought, almost 3 years ago. The dev is great. He always responds to emails quickly. I'm glad this was added. I don't need it (yet), but this is definitely a nice feature.
Cool - I wish this had been in the program a few months ago when I did the unlock.
I did the ADB backup/restore manually but this would be a lot easier.

Yeah man, the FIRST and only app I "require" someone purchase if I'm working on a phone is TB. If you never buy another app, TB is the single best investment you can make if you are rooting your phone and this just add more "goodness" to the pile. :good::good:

I was gonna say the same. I noticed one day that TiBu wasn't being granted SU just out of nowhere. I emailed Joel, he emailed me back in less than an hour with exactly the fix. (I think it was 'force system busybox' from TI settings). Guy is awesome.
I'm not sure how you perform adb backup. Would be curious to know.

I recently bought the pro version of this app strictly for this feature. Thus far, I have been unable to get it to work. I've tried two different .ab files both of which have been successfully restored from using UBT. Any suggestions or ideas why TB pro would say the .ab files are invalid?
Thanks!

Hi Ryan,
Is your backup file password protected (encrypted) or not?
Also please do (on the device or in a unix shell):
busybox head -n4 MyBackupFile.ab
and please post the result...
hmm. didnt see that. I'll have to give it a try

Another reason this app is the $hit! The dev of this essential app checking boards and popping in to help directly.
I'm about to try this out on a new white EVO LTE so we'll see how easy this goes.
Great news. Would be even greater if we could do it direct to a computer?
Maybe possible by mounting a network share? Would need to find a way to check the backup has worked though.
Or maybe this can be done with adb pull?
My phone went into boot-loop a week or so ago and this feature of TiB saved the day. I could not boot the normal OS to make a backup and had no recent backup. Reflashing my rom and wiping cache & dalvik made no difference. But I made a nandroid from TWRP, factory reset, then was able to restore my txt's from the nandroid using TiB (dialer storage) all right on the device while out to dinner. Damned nice.

Did anyone fix the AB issue in titanium backup?
When trying to use this feature, tianium backup is not letting me select the .ab file. The file appears greyed out.
The backup file is encrypted.
I ran "busybox head -n4" on my .ab file and got the following -
ANDROID BACKUP
4
1
AES-256
Any ideas?
Edit: I managed to force select the file using another file manager only to be greeted by a message from titanium backup stating the backup file is either invalid or unsupported.

Thanks for fixing it. It works now. Though I need to use a third party file manager app to select the .ab file.
Does this mean it's somehow possible to backup directly to a PC via USB, instead of backing up to an SD? I have destroyed 2-3 SD so far by heating them up to much while doing long backup/restore

Just a quick question. When I had a winmo device, after we flashed a rom we had a program that we could add cab (winmo version of apk) files to and it would install those apps to our phones all at one time. I know there is titanium backup that will install the apps but sometimes that causes issues with the rooms in some of the new releases. Does anyone know of a app that will do something like what I am speaking of or am I on my own with this one? I know I can write scripts to do this but was looking for something a little easier.
If this has already been discussed then please ignore my request. I very seldom use my laptop to visit xda and the search function via the xda app is not really user friendly if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Edit: created a flshable zip with my apk's and everything works flawless. Thanks to those who helped.
TiBU can do a batch restore, but don't restore any system apps or data.
A. *.apk file is a self-installing application, so you don't need another application to extract and install.
Can you share any specifics?

I know its a self installing app. What I'm wondering is there a batch file installer for say 20+ apps to be installed at one time. Instead of installing 20+ apps one at a time. Does that clarify? In winmo devices a cab file is almost identical to a apk file for android. In winmo devices after we flashed a rom and had set everything up, we could run a program that would install all of our apps in one simple click. Hope this clarifies.

Im speaking out of my a$$ here but im guessing you could
do a flashable .zip and just make sure they install in the right partition
and everything should be good
anyone can correct me if im wrong
The paid version of TiBU installs all the *.apk files stored as a backup.
After a rom flash I go to the market and install TiBU and the paid key, select batch restore and 49 apps are installed in minutes.
Maybe you used the free version and installed one-by-one? A few restores convinced me to upgrade.

Yes, you are correct, however I'm having one hell of a time getting my zip files to install. They run but when they get to the apk file, I get an error message with (status 0) to follow. Basically, I suck at making flash able zip files.

Yea, I use the paid app but I was trying to include tibu in my batch install. Looks like right now tibu is my only option until I can make flashable zips work or create my script.
i remember using the installer on winmo way back. i cant remember the name of the app but i know what you are looking for. i dont have a solution but wish i did. I hate putting all my apps back on with tibu so i dont. i used appmonster and just run the batch and click install and finish until im done. i have all my apks backed up in a folder automaticly with asppmonster. i just keep that folder clean. if i install an app and remove it (trying a new app) and dont want it, i delete it out of that folder. keep it clean.
i cant remember the name of that app and its bothering me.....

Shashimi was one of them. Another really never had a name. It was a script that devs put in their rom that looked for a text file on the SD card that had a list of cab files in it. If it was listed in the text file, it was installed directly after the rom was installed. Just the 2 that I can think of right now. The later was the better of the 2 in my book. It was much simpler to use.

Not entirely true...
When an apk that is not installed is activated(by clicking on it in s file explorer, or downloading it from the market), a system app called packageinstaller.apk is opened, and that installs it.
So you do need another application to install it, it's just a part of the system
I use ROM toolbox pro to restore all my apps after I flash a ROM. It allows you to backup all your apps in batch, and restore various ways in batch. Can install missing apps, system, etc, and can do just apps, apps + data etc.
It also does a bunch of other ****.

Yes, my point exactly. It is handled by the system and not an external app. The title of the thread is App to install apk. The OP mentioned windows based systems. I was letting him know android system does the installing, not some external app.
I could imagine someone new to android downloading apps and not know what to do next.
With a Google search I learned:
1. How to push and install apk's from a pc using an adb shell and one command. Very easy, but you don't always have a pc when you flash a rom.
2. An app in the market can do this from the phone.

I would say right off the bat...Yes...your gonna mess stuff up....
why not use titanium backup paid...which is great, you can save all your setting/data/apps....then if your going to run the same ROM, on your new Note...just copy the titanium backup folder from your old Note to your new Note... and put tibu on your new Note...hit restore...btw the paid is great due to you capabilities of run batch backup and restorations...among lots of other items ...Tibu is a very powerful tool for any android smartphone...

I think his goal is to clone his phone. Not for samsung even if it is the same exact model.
Samsung phones have an encrypted file that generates the phone IEMI. If you nandroid, that folder and file go to the second phone and your phone ends with no (or a generic) IEMI.
There are better ways to restore a new phone.
Edit: I did this with an AOSP ROM without issue. Even though everything seemed fine, I wouldn't suggest doing it. I know setting up the phone is a PITA, but the extra time it takes is well worth it considering the problems that may arise from restoring a nandroid to the same model phone.

i am certain nandroids DO NOT contain the /efs folder... back in the captivate days you had to do a manual backup of that folder in case your IMEI (M comes before the E btw) got messed up you could restore it with that backup... if a nandroid contained that, then that backup step would have been superfluous.
On top of that... nandroids don't even contain the fuggin modem...why would they have the phone specific information that you should NEVER even touch in the first place?

Are you certain enough to let what you say brick someone's phone? I don't think you or I are enough of an expert to make that assertion.
From Rootswiki forum:
This question comes up in a lot of forums because some people think we should be able to just copy the whole package from one phone to another like we can on computers. Unfortunately almost every piece of software on phones is installed in such a way that it is inextricably tied to that particular piece of hardware. Nandroid and other backups only work on the phone they were made.
At code.google.com the consensus was don't do it.
I got the /efs folder detail from Samsung support. Its within the /system folder -- why would you think it gets skipped during backup? And the messed up IEMI number is a very common outcome. Just look around in other galaxy s class phone forums.

And your concern about the frakkin modem -- that code isn't in the modem, its in the nvdata file (the encrypted one I mentioned) in the /efs folder.
@ctraywick1:
Don't follow advice that could ruin your phone when there are only opinions not facts available.
Just develop a good backup strategy so migrating to a new rom or phone is less painful.
My point about the modern was not that IT contained the IMEI, i know perfectly well where it is, in fact better than you (see below lol). it was the fact that you flash modems all the time and yet they are not contained in s nandroid, so...why would non volatile data like that be included...
And the efs folder is most certainly NOT IN the /system directory...that would be retarded as that directory gets COMPLETELY FORMATTED with every Rom flash.
IT'S IN THE ROOT DIRECTORY

Why are you making such a big deal about this? The OP just wanted advice and I can find 100 posts that say don't copy your nandroid to another phone. Because we are dealing with a $600 device the wisest thing to do is say "don't do it" and help him develop a usedul backup strategy. What are you doing to further that goal? I gave several experts and you only offer your opinion. Thats just not good enough even if you are the smartest guy in the room.
And your own picture says you're mistaken about the flashing and rewriting. Look at the date of your /efs folder. I'm sure your phone is more than two days old. My stock phone has May 6 2012 date created.
Yes, I was wrong about the location, but the advice is still his best course. Experiment on your own phone.
Lol you come back with false information...i correct it.. Not "making a big deal", but i will not be corrected with information that is not accurate.
A nandroid is not the "whole phone"
As i said, it does not contain a modem, also doesn't contain your bootloaders, your sdcards/emmc, or the /efs folder.
And since it doesn't contain bootloaders there is no chance of hard bricking anything.
I didn't condone nor endorse anything either...Just saying the IMEI is not in a nandroid, that 's all
Yeah, I'm no expert just an enthusiast. Thats why I got the TiBu screenshot that said "whole phone". I guess they are giving incorrect information.
Your screenshot contradicts you -- look at the /efs folder date.
Oh.. That's cause i was experimenting with some stuff inside there, just goofing around and looking through it really, and even though it was a copy i was messing with... i copied back a known untouched version just out of ocd.
Well anyway I don't think it matters to you but I enjoy your posts and repect your opinions.

Hello all,
I've rooted my GNote and tried to get rid of some useless apps, since updating to official ICS made it unbarebly slow and a lot laggy. I used Titanuim Backup to remove some apps and it reboots without deleting any, also it sucks even if it works cuz it needs to reboot everytime u wana remove an app!!!
Is there any alternatives I can try that don't require rebooting?
JIC: I will flash it with a custom debloated, deodexed ROM, but not right now as i need to do a few backups. but for the time being i need something to get by.
Thanks.
Something is not right there. When I used TiBu to uninstall system apps (debloat a factory rom) apps I had no problems ans didn't have to reboot svery time. Just did this again a couple days ago removing a few apps from fj's rom.
Check your settings in tibu and double check if unknown sources and usb debugging are on. Then recheck root, that is my suggestions.
No point in worrying. Flashing any one of our devs roms will give you a better experience than the OTA. Download rom manager and use it to install cwm. Place the rom on the SD card and reboot into recovery. First create a backup then wipe system, cache and dalvik three times and flash the zip. Depending on the rom you may need to flash gapps after system install. Done. No bloat plus lots of optimizations and goodies.

I have seen a lot of complaints of lagginess from people who updated OTA.
I updated via Odin with an ICS image from samfirmware and never had a problem.
Debloating after that made a bit of a difference too but not the kind of difference you'd see with flashing an AOSP variant.

I am interested in the "BLACK★STAR V UCLF6" ROM, seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. However, I downloaded the zip file so i can flash it later but I think the link is wrong, cuz the "custom rom creature" keeps indicating that the ROM has an invalid format!!
If you got a link to download the BLACK★STAR V UCLF6, please paste it on here. Thanks

A tool that you can use to create/customize Android ROMs.

Thank you sir.
I have CWM flashed already so what are the next steps? (this is my first time flashing a custom ROM)
btw, by "pc" do you mean a desktop computer or "windows OS"? (there is a lot confusion going on out there.)
and no I don't use my GNote to download anything other than apps from "Google Play".
I did a wipe before installing the update through Kies, and I'm pretty happy with the stock rom. I think Samsung needs to find a way to add a full backup and restore to Kies and just perform a wipe as it upgrades. Shouldn't be too hard, Titanium already does it (mostly).
I had this problem too.
Don't long press the app to uninstall it. Just click it and the window to backup or uninstall will pop up.

Took me a few tries to get that working, between lags and freezes!! this official ICS is garbage.
thanks for the tip (I just punched your [thank you] button :good.
so I have made a twrp backup of the new lollipop OC5 for the sprint note3 stock and it should be rooted if anybody is interested on using this backup here is the link https://www.mediafire.com/?959vjs98swqrdf5 just unzip the folder put it in the twrp backup folder reboot to recovery restore the backup and enjoy. (if this helps you don't forget to hit the thanks button!) PS the file is called (2015-04-11--13-33-08 LRX21V.N900PVPUEOC5)

great i got a stupid question after that....
jus like he did wouldnt i be able to get the update do a factory reset and then do a backup to share or would it still have the info listed too?
The phone is a image of your phone. To do what you want to do. You will have your info stored. Also will get a invalid user Id warning on boot. Will prove a lot of. Issues. I did just flash nk4 wipe from stock recovery. Boot up and it will update fine. But your msl all your sprint id **** in in the backup.
Sent from my 0x1 Note 3...... I love tep
So this is what i did...took the ota whent through the set up and some other things booted to custom recovery wipe data did the backup flash different rom for a day then whent back to recovery flash the backup and had to go through the setup again and there's no personal data...so if anybody wants to give it a shot just let me know if it works for you guys.
If it's activated there's data. Let someone flash. Bet there is ghost files.

ROM is in SYSTEM partition. If you back up only SYSTEM partition you will get ROM. personal data is in DATA partition. MSL and stuff is in EFS. Full nandroid backup can contain all of those, but if you only back up SYSTEM it should be ok.
Make sure you install this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/efs-samsung-tool-universal-support-t2602325 and backup your EFS in a safe location before trying.

Go use a root Explorer and look under system Etc system csc browsing 3 files in csc I see my phone serial my msl and my sprint email. Sooooo how is that not data. It's in the system. Lollipop is a difference thing altogether. Just trying g to help the mkv not share his info. Or another user mess up there device. But hey to each their own.
Sent from my 0x1 Note 3...... I love tep
lollipop is not different partition-wise, ROM still goes in to System partition. I downloaded zip extracted and looked inside. it has boot, data and system partitions. Data partition is practically empty, the way it should be. EFS backup is not present. System partition has no personal info. It should be ok to flash.
BTW, /system/etc/csc or /system/etc/system/csc does not exists neither in this nor in kitkat ROMs
I see /system/csc/ but nothing personal there and there shouldn't be

Just finished doing restore using this backup - everything looks good - i have phone and data working (with my and not OP's phone number )
The only thing I see is that baseband is still at NK4. It seems to work fine so I can probably wait until OC5 modem is officially posted, unless you know how to backup firmware/modem

No personal info in system partition in general or in those folders in particular. Don't understand your insult about 44 posts. backup seems to work well so far.
So for those who got this backup and are using it do you guys have all the lollipop features but not baseband...then if you guys like it I'm glad to helped !!!!
Amazing.
havent had the time to try this yet, but hearing that it worked for some has convinced me to flash this over the weekend. I agree that it's probable that there are some personal data in there somewhere. I'll have a look at the file table and see whether system has anything interesting. But either way, thanks OP

yes, running this as of yesterday. I had seen few Touchwith crashes, but I am not using Touchwiz so I don't care. Got Native hotspot working using :
GalaxyTools v3.1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159
got external uSD writable from all apps using this app: FolderMount https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en
changed ro.securestorage.support=true to false in /system/build.prop to make sure it keeps wifi passwords unencrypted and does not forget them after reboot.
I'm pretty sure I can use this just to disect it builprop, csc etc to try to port some Roms so thanks @Jairsantana

Hi all, I accidentally deleted my wifi direct modules and because of this my phone cannot wifi share files directly with other devices anymore (dumb move I know). It must have happened while I was doing a batch clean out a while ago and I didn't notice until recently when I tried to wifi direct send something and was unable. I quickly realized I did not have the apks anymore (I believe there were/are two of them)
I was wondering if some kind soul may upload them for me, that would be GREATLY appreciated. (even more so if they were backed up with Titanium Backup as I could restore them with that, would be ideal)
Thanks in advance!

I never use batches to debloat my phone because of this kind of stuff just download a system app Uninstaller and do it that way but if you need them that bad you could always just reclassified the rom or try going to Google and looking for the apks if not I'm sure someone can upload theirs on here I would but I'm on a VZW s5 so I'm not sure if it'll work but if someone says that it will I'll upload mine if I havem

I typically don't but was on a roll and didn't have an immediate backup like I usually would. I may do some digging to see if I made a full new phone Titanium Backup when I got the phone, and if so, I may still have the apks there but if not I'd be very appreciative to have yours, if it doesn't work I'm not worse off then I am not haha.
This is another reason I just freeze everything anymore.

Damn, those are definitely the right files I need but they don't show up in Titanium and I cannot manually install them myself...or rather haven't been able to figure out it myself. I have a friend with a G900T (T-Mobile S5) but she's on 5.1.1 and I'm just on 5.0 so I think that's why it won't install. I may just try nandroiding, fresh installing my rom and then backing up those files in titanium and then just restoring my nandroid backup and seeing if Titanium sees THOSE new files. It's probably the last thing I can try.
Thanks for your help, you don't know how much I appreciate it!
