Titanium Backup Storage and Backup/Changing ROMs - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

My titanium automatically saves to sd location, internal memory. If I load a new ROM and wipe all my stuff will this be erased ? Should I be saving to external sd card location? Is there a reason to save backups to internal memory ?
I am still getting used to working with an android os and making backups right on my device so any info or help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Just do not choose to wipe internal our external sd cards ... Wipe cache, davilk, data and a system. Then flash your rom and g apps if need.
Pics and files will be safe and waiting on you.
Remember when restoring do not restore data to system apps. Only user ... And I am selective on those add well. The fewer the better.

Emmc memory cannot be read on computer.

It looks like I accidentally formatted my emmc memory and it cannot be seen by my computer. Does anyone know how to manually formatting it to make it functional again? I restored to a factory rom and back to aokp. I can see the memory and add files to it but music app cannot access internal drive. I get two drives in my computer but can only access SD card when I enable memory access. Any help on this will be awesome.

This isn't helpful I know but I thought id let you know this does not really belong in development thread. Just letting you know why no one is gonna help. People are crazy

Ill try to be of some help. I'd try reflashing your rom from an external SD card. No guarantees as I've not run into this problem, but it's worth a try.

No luck. I can't use my emmc memory. 8 gig SD is still ok
Here is what I did to fix it...
1) Made a nandroid backup of my RevoHD 6 setup
2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3) Wipe Dalvik and Cahche
4) Format EMMC
I then restored from another nandroid backup that I had loaded and I can now open my EMMC from windows computer!

Sync with Google and see if they are restored.

a full wipe using recovery mode can delete my photos in /sdcard ?! wow that's new
i 'm pretty sure that "wipe data/factory reset" wipes /data and /cache partitions and it has nothing to do with /sdcard & /sdcard/external_sd
unless if have erased all ur data on internal SD using the devices settings without entering recovery .. if so , then it's impossible to get those files back .. sorry for that
anayways as a last try u can see this app :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete
u can also try this PC app with ur internal and external SD cards mounted as mass storage http://www.piriform.com/recuva
i tried them both with no luck
and to be clear and more specific my photos were not on my SD Card they were on the phone

"On the phone" would mean on the internal SD card of the phone, which is not wiped when doing a factory reset for the recovery or even from settings > backup and reset. All media files should be there. You must have formatted the internal SD card as well, in which case I don't think its possible to retrieve them.

Open TB and press the upper right symbol in the bar, now you see Batch back-up/restore- All in the top bar. Scroll down to the bottom and press Delete all backups. That`s it mate
or go into 'My Files' and delete the titanium backup folder

Cwm backup doesn't backup game data. If it did the backup would be massive. The data is on the memory card and stays there even if you factory reset or flash a new rom. You will only lose the data if you format sd card.
Best way to back up game data is to copy to your PC.

Just sync the game saves folder with Dropbox.
That gives you a 30 (or was it 90) day history of your old saves to download in case you f*#% up ingame aswell as the latest one

in my experience, in TiBackup, i just backup the apps normally, then the apps' data (game saves,score,..) will be backed up too, just that when you restore it, you need to choose to restore both app+data

Any one???
Do you have clockworkmod installed? If yes, wipe data using it or do a factory reset.
It'll wipe all phone data . Backup your important data and wipe your data partition. It should work.
Click thanks if I helped you!

Installing rom question

[Q] i am going to install jb rom for my s3..my question is..can i backup my all my apps and it's data..because i have many big games..each one about 1gb..and i dont want to lose them..is there any way?!! Plz need quick answer
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Just install "titanium backup" from play store. Backup your apps and system. Flash your another ROM, install TB again. And restore your apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Dont forget to back up to external SD, otherwise when wiping sd card, you lose your backups too. (personal experience)
Also make a nand backup, in case you want to revert
Plus you should already have a backup of your EFS folder .
jje
Dirry.. what is EFS folders ?!!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
EFS contains your IMEI.
it doesn't always happen, but sometimes you can lose that information and your imei becomes 00000000000000 or somesuch.
Where i can find this folder?!! Abd now..the best way ti backup my apps is via nand backup?!! Because i have many games have big extrrnal data not shown or backup with the backup apps..
Here is what i will do and tell me if i made wrong..i will backup my all data with any of backup app..then make a nand backup..to backup the apps external data..then after flashing..i will restore apps from the backup app. .and if i launch itnit will ask me to downliad the data again..but niw i will restore that data from nand backup...is that wilk work?!! Is taht all right..
Thanks....

Here's the easiest breakdown:
Get Titanium Backup. (buy the pro key if you want. If you flash quite abit, it's worth the money)
Back up all your apps (it will also back up your data) and make sure it's backed up to your sd card.
export your messages, call history, and wifi ap as xml (via TB. hit menu to see the export option)
Use your Contact app to export all your contacts as a vcf file.
If you're using a rom that has Aroma Installer, you should be given an option to back the efs folder up. I think it's also found on the root directory or in the system folder. It's a folder that says EFS. you can't miss it.
now go into cwm, do a nand backup.
once that's done.
Wipe cache and data
install new rom.
set it up.
and do the reverse of the backups off everything. (so import instead of export and restore instead of backup)
EDIT: try not to back up system settings. restoring that would most likely cause FCs or a full crash. but restoring the usual apps are almost always ok. Avoid system apps unless you know they're the same.
No.it doesnt backup all app data..i have asphalt 7 which is have 1gb external data and 23mb apps size..and when i made make backup.it just backuped the 23mb...what should i do

It doesn't matter, the big game files are stored on sdcard and are not concerned by flashing process. They'll be preserved and when restoring app the game will automatically detect them.
What we call data app are all settings, stored in /data partition and erased with data wipe process. The graphical data used by games to run are not the same thing.
What Striatum said.
Mean the flashing doesnt earase all data on sd card?!!! (I an talking about internal i dont have external card...and all thing is stored on the internal....that u meab?!!flashing doesnt delete all sd inernal fard?!!!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
no it doesn't erase the internal card. I have maintained the structure of my internal card when I flashed from stock to Omega.
The internal card is treated as a storage card. when they say wipe, they meant wipe the part of the storage that is partitioned for the rom, not for the partition that is for user storage.
So if you follow what I told you.. you would be all set.
Thanks bro
