If your phone is rooted, boot into CWRecovery & do a nandroid backup, and make a note of the CWM version you're making the backup with; maybe append this to the name of the folder you're keeping the backup in (this is what I do). Keep a copy of your backups on your phone's internal SD card (if you have one) and/or your PC. When you want to restore a particular backup, if the backup in question is on your PC, transfer it to your internal/external SD card on your phone. Boot into CWRecovery again & restore the backup. As long as the version of CWM you're using at the time of restoring the backup is somewhat recent, you should be good to go as is. If not, you may have to downgrade to a kernel with a version of CWM closer to the version you made the backup with first.
And if your phone isn't rooted, why are you here ?
Haha im triing to root it

Quick question : if its not rooted can i just copy past all the phones data on my computer then putting it back in the phone?

You can probably use an app like MyBackupPro (there are probably other apps which can backup a non-rooted phone as well), but I have no experience with those so I can't advise re: their use.
As well as doing regular nandroid backups in CWM, backing up settings/apps regularly with TiPro (look for it on Google Play) is a good idea as well.
And maybe start using the forum for the "g" model.....

Well, I'm not rooted and I like bits and pieces of wisdom...
If you are not rooted, there are at least 2 options:
1. Samsung Kies (yeah, I know... who uses Kies at all?)
2. MyPhoneExplorer

Can I restore a Nandroid from another rezound and It would flash my phone identically to there's. I just want to try my friends rom and I love how he has it set up and I thought it would be pretty easy to just flash/restore his nand

Does any one know this answer?

yes
Yes, you can. But it must be contained in a subfolder of nandroid, named HTXXXXXXXX
which is exclusive to your particular phone.
You can discover the name of that subfolder by doing a fake nandroid backup
of the phone you wish to restore to.
Then visualize the sdcard in windows explorer with phone "on" and remove the fake nandroid
backup you just made, replacing it with the preferred backup. Or do this connected to sdcard in recovery.
Either way, the good restore file must be on sdcard in nandroid/HTxxxxxx of new phone.
Then do a 'restore' in recovery and the old operating system is now on a second phone.
Go to Play Store and get updates and you're good to go.
and then, and then
Since it's your friend's setup, you'll need to get into Google Play Store
with your own account, and change other things to your name as well.
It will know all about your VZN account when you put in the sim.
It would be much simpler to flash the Rom and set it up yourself. The nandroid contains all the personnel info he has used on his phone before the nandroid. He (your friend) could fresh install the Rom then before setting anything up he doesn't want you to know do a nandroid.

Hi.
I want to find out wich is the BEST COMPLETE BACKUP of any android mobile phone program and if i can install it to an UNROOTED android phone.
I hear that clockwork is the best but i don't know if this program can work fine with UNROOTED phones because it suggest to install it only to rooted phone.
So please the persons who KNOW can answer to me with proof.
A LOF OF THANKS FOR ALL.
gotta have root for those backup programs.
Sync your contacts to Google and there you have a back up of them. Any paid apps from the market will always be allowed to be downloaded by you since you paid for them.

So isn't there any program that it can do a complete backup of any android phone WITHOUT rooted or sing into google?

O...nope. your definitely going to have to root to have access to that.
"I love my Springfield XD40"
firstly you need root for any significant backup, withought it the best thing i would sujest is connecting your phone to a computer and just copy everything over, that will save most apps and things. But even with root i am not aware af any comprehensive backup app because there is so much to backup: ROM, Kernel, Contacts, Data, Apps as well as different locations where they are: OS storage, internal SD and external SD.
despite this i have found helpfull combinations of:
App Backup & Restore
Mobile Backup II
MyBackup Root
Titanium Backup
ROM Manager
some need root, some don't and some are partialy limited without root, but all were helpfull and have saved my rear a few times

There is a way. Bring a storage device like a thumb drive and go into a sprint store or a radio Shack. They have machines (cellebrite) that can backup contacts pictures video and sd contents. Or you can do it yourself buy pushing everything to dropbox.

Yeah, that's not "everything". If you want EVERYTHING backed up on your phone, you're going to need root. Normal "copy everything off of the SD card" doesn't get you things like app data or preferences/settings (like ringtone and notification tone settings, as two out of a thousand possible examples).
Now, if your device has fastboot enabled and you have an on-hand recovery image, you can likely
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img
(make appropriate substitutions for your on-hand recovery image file and device), and then do a nandroid backup from there. Aside from the data written to your storage device (on-device or SD card), that shouldn't permanently modify your system in any way.
With the titanium backup that it work ONLY on a rooted mobile we can make A FULL COMPLETE BACKUP of any android mobile.
And when i am saying full complete backup i mean(Rom, kernel, apps, settings e.t.c.) ALL the things that it has the mobile this time.
And after a change of rom or kernel i can restore ONLY the apps and settings to the changed rom/kernel?
A LOT OF THANKS.

TB doesn't backup kernel and its settings, widgets placed on homescreen, and certain system apps when you reflash same Rom. Only one way is a android backup which is same as an image backup in windows.

So there isn't any program that backups EVERYTHING so you can restore it by choice everything you want....
Clockwork doesn't do a COMPLETE FULL BACKUP of any mobile?
I search one program that can make a A COMPLETE FULL BACKUP of any android mobile device like samsung galaxy s2.
Clockwork backs up your entire system. Including apps installed to sd card, but it won't backup info on your sd card normal storage (the one you can use a usb mass storage).
clockwork nandroid backup+regular backup of sd card = full backup of everything on your phone.
Of course, successful restore of the backup without modifications will only work in phones with the same model (no restoring a gingerbread backup of an htc device to an ics samsung device for example)
So clockwork can make a FULL COMPLETE BACKUP of entire monbile into an external usb har disk corrrect?
Then you can restore ONLY the apps if you install a custom rom to the mobile or the restore must be a complete and not a part of it.
A 'nandroid' which is done with clockworkmod or twrp or amon-ra is a complete backup...
Titanium backup does an app by app backup...
Titanium backup will also let you open the backup and pick out apps to restore if you use clockworkmod or twrp

Yes but not to a USB hard disk. You can chose from internal or externa SD card.
After that you can move it line any other file.
Pretty comon on flashaholics. They try a ROM and a few minutes later flash his entire system(nandroid backup) back.

What is the twrp.
And the complete system backup you do with clockwork can toy restore ONLY the apps from this backup to a custom rom or kernel that may you have installed at the mobile like samsung galaxy s2?
Where is the clockwork and titanium backup topics so i ask here to.
A LOT OF THANKS.
One more time .. recovery=clockworkmod and does a backup equivalent to an image file in windows. You can save backup to pc, flash other roms and restore your user apps+data from titanium backups and start using. If not happy, restore cwm backup and it'll be exactly how you had it before. Do a nandroid backup, transfer to pc and look inside using winrar, 7zip etc and you'll see what it saves.
When flashing different roms you may or may not restore data from apps via TB as certain data may affect stabily, each custom rom lets you know. For TB best to gooble search their site for guide, troubleshooting, q&a.

So bottom line is that i can make a complete full backup with clockwork and then can make apps restore with titanium backup correct?
If i leave the oficial rom and change the kernel then i have any problems from the apps restorations?
Nandroid does the full image backup everything, system, boot, apps, data just like windows image restore
Titanium backup for apps + data is great when using same apps across different roms .. read up on its site

What's the best way to back up every single thing on the phone (downloaded apps, app settings, Maildroid settings, etc)? (my phone is rooted, if it makes a difference)
Also, after backing up, can I restore the backup on any phone (like a Galaxy S3, or an HTC, etc) or only on another Galaxy S2? And does the phone I restore the backup on also have to be rooted first?
Install a kernel with cwm. Then make a nandroid backup to external sd
For between phones I recommend go backup

If you used a backup app then you have to be rooted yes and yes it can be transferable

To build on this since I saw it mentioned above... DO NOT try to restore a NANDROID backup to a different phone, is:GS3, etc. To be safe ONLY restore A NANDROID BACKUP to the same phone.
But as others said a backup app lime titanium backup will be fine. Just with any "backup app" DO NOT restore SYSTEM DATA OR APPS between phones or roms UNLESS it is the SAME phone and rom. Even then I wouldn't personally restore system apps or system data to rule out issues.

I use Titanium Backup and copy all of the backup files to my PC for safe keeping.
Generally I do a backup of all my apps and then if I need to restore to another device, I root the new device, install Titanium Backup and the app and then use the restore data only option in TB.

Hello everyone,I want to upgrade CM 10.1 but is it possible to back up my all apps or everything in phone now.After I jump CM I want to use my phone like previous.As short as I dont want to loose my info.Thanks.
Titanium backup for your apps and data, sms backup for your texts. Sync contacts to google, call log, there's an app for that as well but can't remeber the name.
Stuff on the external sd can be left as it is, make sure you back up any photos etc from your internal sd.
Wipe everything when you're installing cm and everything should be there

Hey guys , I'm new and this was probably asked but I just want to make sure
I am currently running cm10.1 on my gs3 and want to know if I can restore ALL missing apps with data using titanium backup .Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I had upgraded my Galaxy Gio from stock rom to custom rom (CM 7.2 based), and now I want to restore just a few apps + data (for e.g. Memo) and Contacts (from stock rom) from my Nandroid backup, so I want it should be on the current custom rom.
How far I tried to do so, I could'nt get it done. I tried with NANDROID MANAGER, I installed it and tried to restore some apps + their data, (the apps was in previous rom in System/Apps so Nandroid Manager automatically wanted to install it in system/apps), ok, the program showed as it's installed with no broblems, BUT after reboot as it required, NOTHING HAPPENED, so I looked in system/apps and data/data with root explorer, those apps & data were there, but it was not installed.....
I also tried to restore the Contacts from Nandroid (Contacts Storage), and I ended up with erasing all contacts I had currently on the phone (anyway that wasn't a problem, cause i had an regular backup of it).
So I would like to understand what the problem is, and how is it possible to have my previous memos and contacts restored to my current rom?!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE?!
Thanks in advance.
If this were me I would make a nandroid of current ROM, wipe clean, restore nandroid of old ROM, use titanium backup (preferred but there are others) to backup apps and data (I use a different app for contacts and SMS/call log but I believe titanium can do this too) then I would wipe clean, restore nandroid, restore what is needed from titanium
May sound like a lot but should be finished in less than a half hour with all

Thank you for replying.
But I had read some posts that if the current rom is EXT4 based and stock rom is RFS based, then CWM wouldn't restore the backup normally (because the sd card has to be rfs format - something like this if I understood). So i'm a little bit afraid to do that cause I don't want to get stuck on boot....
Any sugestion for that??
Thanks in advance.
Well sd-card is always formatted as fat/ntfs irrespective of the rom....
Sent from my Spice Mi-515 using xda app-developers app
Like in the post above you will never have an SD formatted in rfs, but there are some recoveries that have issues restoring backups depending on the format the backup was made in but this doesn't appear to be your case (like if a backup was made in yaffs2 but recovery uses tar) so I really don't think this should be an issue for you. Having said that I have never used your phone before and if you're very concerned you should find another who has to ask. But I'm still 99% sure you're safe to do this
