You ask all the time it seems... And yes! There is the built in backup app and there is titanium backup.
And dont flash your phone to much... You will get bad sectors... Or brick it.
Read a little in the forum before asking about everything

Yup. Already told by others... You can use my backup products, any root backup app, cwm restore/advanced restore...

Flashing a device never creates bad sectors nor bricks a phone mate.

Yes, but it's a good practice to keep a cwm backup always before flashing.
Cwm backup means..

sony back up - default restore and back up program of sony (included in the firmware)
titanium - back up system and data same like sony restore and back up apps, but with more options. (with free and paid app from google play), can be used to restore single file.
clockworkmod (cwm) backup - back up of system, boot and data ( these are done in recovery), can be used to restore system only or data only or boot only.
1. cwm (if you are flashing roms) - really need this back up in case of error or not booting
2. titanium if you are restoring single file or freezing apps or converting apps to system apps.

No question is Noob brother!
Cwm is short for ClockWorkMod Recovery by Koush.
After installing a custom kernel you get this recovery. When the phone boots (if you have ulbl) you get a vibe+blue led+white glowing illumination strip all at once... Hit volume up rocker once.
You'll enter cwm.
If you choose backup option from there... It backs up your system, boot, cache, data.
In case of any mistakes or something in future you can always enter cwm and choose restore to bring your phone back to the previous state.
You can go to advanced restore and choose either system/boot/cache/data or all.
Thank... if helpful...

Hey man I'm not one hundred percent sure about this but I don't think you can. You probably need to restore an old rom with xrecovery then reflash your current rom without it

Delete or Rename the file "data.img" located in "sdcarcd/xrecovery"
im almost sure there was a way. u have to rename some file on the sdcard i think.
thanks tho. yea i thought about that but dont really feel like it lol
Or just wipe factory data in xrecovery and wipe cache then reflash your current rom but before that make a backup using titanium backup then once you reflash your rom download titanium and press restore missing apps with data and your good to go

Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
The better way is making a sync with google account, so you never will lost your contacts
btw If u didnt make any backup...you cant restore them
u cannot get it back unless u saved it to sim card =))
Unless you backed them up, no. You can restore a nand backup (I hope you have created one) and then backup the contacts.
I made a backup....but i dunno know how to get there....

Ok, did you make a nand backup (i.e from recovery) or did you backup the contacts(i.e exporting them to sd card or something) ?
If it's the former then boot into recovery and choose restore, and your previous rom with the contacts in all it's glory will be restored.

I assume that you're talking about a nand backup only... if you have made one, reboot into recovery by pressing power+vol down+back button simultaneously.. from recovery go to backup/restore and select the backed up file to restore it...
Yea i mean nand back up......thanks a lot....will try goin thru these steps ....

I have an unrooted Xperia S and I am trying to download a game.
Here's my problem:
When I connect my phone to my PC, I am attemping to find the "obb" folder into the "Android" one, to copy the game DATA in there but with no success! I can't find that folder and Im pretty sure that it's not hidden, it may be located elsewhere or I need to copy data files to another folder.
I have downloaded a lot of games such as NOVA 3 (which downloads its DATA via wi-fi) but the obb folder seems like it doesn't exist.
Could you help me find where the game DATA folders are located? Thanks in advance..
*Xperia S doesn't have card slot so there isn't SD card inserted. Everything is stored in its internal memory (32gb).
I can use TeamViewer if you want a closer look.
hey, I also have an unrooted Xperia S and i was also unable to find the "obb" folder . So i just created it in the Android folder and it worked for me .
try it :good:

If you're rooted you can use titanium backup to "backup and restore" your files including apps+data. So I suggest that you root your phone

He meant the game files, not the /data/data...
I know it's the game files, I've tried to backup the data on titanium backup after playing Asphalt 7, The Dark Knight Rises etc (before I flashed a new rom).. Then I flashed a new rom, new kernel, did a factory reset, wiped dalvik cache, and when I restored my saved backup in titanium backup it also restored my saved game. So backing up using TPB is effective for me.

Hi guys, need a bit of help.
I have rooted my phone previously but did not like it so I flashed the stock rom with Odin. This left my device status as modified. Since it is modified I cannot get software updates.
Recently, I had to flash jellybean for my phone as it would not update ota or through kies. Now when pressing check for update in settings, it sais "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available".
Is there anyway to change the device status back to normal without wiping data? If not, how can I backup all my data so it can be restored? Samsung kies crashes when trying to backup apps and I'm not sure if mobile go backs up app data.
I am using the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S3, if that helps.
Thanks in advance

Root again, and run triangle away, then flash stock again via Odin and wipe data from recovery.
This removes all evidence of root and you will be completely stock with a binary counter of 0.

XDA Developers way .
root phone then backup via recovery .
Backup EFS folder
Purchase Titanium backup pro from the market and backup apps .
Also backup your contacts and any MP3 /Video can be copied to PC .
Download and save original firmware via Checkfus .
Update by flashing any stock rom or custom rom .

Dude, i dont know if sdk is a good/easy option. But try Nandroid Backup on play store.
But the problem is that all these apps from the play store that backup your device require root and I want my phone unrooted after restoring it. Those apps do require root to restore data right? If not then I am willing to use them.

i've used very simple method.
1) connect usb to pc - then select internal memory copy to sd card.
2) for some data will not show any items if connect via usb.But you still can move via file manager such as "solid explorer".Just select file and copy to sd card.It might take a little bit longer.
..i'm already done more than 20 times chg status modified to normal.Just ensure you use proper step as adviced by Xda senior..

So when restoring data do you just copy it back onto the phone?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hi guys, I've left this topic off for a while but I'm back with new questions.
I have now found Holo Backup (Simple ADB Backup) to backup my phone without any rooting or complicated stuff. I wanna know that if I backup my device with its device status modified, will it still show modified when I restore it?
Also has anyone with an S3 successfully backed up and restored their phone using holo backup and if so what was the size of backup file. When I tried mine it came up with a file slightly over 1gb which doesn't seem right seeing as I have about 10gb internal data and 10gb of data on my micro sd.
Thanks in advance

Use Framaroot to root your phone (!!with SuperSU!!) after reflasing, use Titanium Backup to restore the apps and systemapp-data....
After you did it, go to SuperSU, go to settings and tap on Unroot.... Your device state will be NORMAL after that!
Hey! ... sorry for this noob question .. but i am a newbie to the android world .. i have rooted my s3 with the omega rom and i have taken a nandroid backup using cwm , now if i want to install another rom for example cm10 or checkrom once i install the other rom can i go into cwm and restore the back up??.. if i do so will everything i backed up come back ? .. or will it bring back the omega rom and my phone how it was when i took the backup?

yes but how do i install the mods just download the zip file and flash through cwm?
i have a fantastic answer for you...
if you flash a new custom rom and then you want to restore all the settings from the old one, you can go in Cwm mode > Backup and restore > Advanced restore > restore DATA...
in this way you restore only the app and the configuration of system...
i hope i help you!
so the app and the configuration from the old rom will be in the new rom ..??? .. wow! thank you for your answer!

Exercise caution doing this
Always make one before flashing.
Remember that full backups take a lot of space. Download titanium backup and backup user apps and their data, delete them and then make a nandroid backup. Takes less space and its a lot faster.
I curently have 2 backups. My stock ROM and a curently used custom ROM. Once my custom ROM is updated I delete the backup of the custom ROM, I update it, then make another Nandroid backup with the updated version that way it saves me a lot of space.

Use this with caution.
Its better to set you phone manually than to brick it due to lack of time, or doing it manually.
Stick with the basics, basics dont get your phone bricked. Trust me

I have restored data with no problem using Data only Nandroid backups for years .
But i always only restore data to a same build rom that is no restore of ICS to JB and no restore of KLP to JB .
On PC original factory rom + Nandroid copy of last known full working custom rom .
Worked on custom roms are backed up to ext sd card .
Worst problem i ever have is usually if i wipe something without thinking clear Nandroid backups and forget to update . Even then its only a stock rom Odin flash to start again .

In TiBu (Titanium Backup) just back up user apss (like facebook,twitter,games,apps downloaded through GooglePlay Store)
Run a batch backing up user apps and then from System>Apps uninstal all of them but TiBu. Just like that once you've returned from making the backup, open TiBu and select backups/restore tab in the top section again and press the menu/options softkey. Select Batch and then Restore all missing user apps.
No need to make a .zip file, not flashable through recovery.
