Hello
I just change the ROM, and I realized that I was missing pictures, probably a folder that was not on the SD card (I did wipe all expect SD card).
And i saw my GoBackup app (premium), did not backup these photos ..
But I have a nandroid backup, complete.
How can I restore my photos only? (knowing that I restored the file / data, but there is nothing. Is there an app that takes care of backups and restores what we want?
Regards
PS : if i'm in the wrong section, is it possible to switch the place of my thread ? tks !
Restore nandroid, find where photos are saved, move to PC or SD, flash new ROM again and add photos

If i make this, with nandroid, do you think that all will work correctly, like my apps, my phone, my wifi, ?? Or i can have some problems or not ?
The nandroid restores all partitions as they were, its a snap shot.

So, i won't have any problems ? Just the time it will take to me ?
That's the point of a nandroid
Make nandroid
Wipe clean
Flash ROM
Play with ROM
Make nandroid
Wipe clean
Restore old nandroid
....
Just do this at each ROM flash and you'll be happy

i'm actually new to this stuff, i've been trying different roms to find what's more suitable for me and i have one problem.
the guides said that when you install a new rom, you have to wipe data and then flash your sd cards, but doingso erases all my apps and everything else, is there anyway to backup those stuff and easily restore them after i've installed a new rom? thank you so much in advance for your help.

Use titanium backup to backup your apps and app data before flashing rom's.
but where will the titanium backup store the backup if i'm supposed to wipe my sd?

First wipe and partition your SD and reboot. Use titanium now to backup all apps. Also now you can copy anything to SD. For example download rom now and flash. As partition already there, no need to partition again.

if u have recovery installed then just Nand backup along with ext backup.. it will completely take a backup image of ur ROM along with sttings and applications installed..
when restoring just Nand restore ...

I want to format my sd card to remove sd-ext. However, I want to keep my apps and data, how can I do this?
Could I do a rom backup with clockwork and copy the backup onto my computer the put it back on my phone after I format? Will that restore my apps and data?
I have a lot of apps.

Helped a friend to root and install custom rom.
Basically the step i used
1) Root it with odin and cf-root
2) Root working, so i get titanium backup and run the backup
3) Factory reset and install Omega rom v37
4) failed to install, seem like i get the older version of cf-root. So i re install the cf-root
5) Install omega rom v37 and it worked
6) Install titanium backup. However, when i want to restore, seem all file missing. I scanned through whole device, cant find it too. The sdcard/titaniumbackup is an empty folder
Question
1) Could the backup file in sdcard0/titaniumbackup?
2) Why the backup will disappear by itself?
3) Factory reset/wipe cache/wipe ...cache will delete the backup, right?
4) Watapps backup disappear too?
5) Instagram pictures folder disappear too?
5) Any idea to get the backup back? Feel really sorry as lost my friend's data, please help me if there is a way to get the data back.
Thank you.
how did you do the factory reset? from the settings menu?
Yes, from the cwm menu.
And i did it just like what i did for the last 50 times

Yes, you factory reset, which wiped your internal sd, and you really should set titanium to save to external sd if you have one to avoid this happening again, and backup to pc before you start messing around
I never understand making backup on internal sd - think it would be good to advise user of TB after installing to change the folder at first. (If ext SD is present)
Do anybody backup PC on c:\ ??? Must be more complicated on a phone...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So no chances to get the lost data back?
Ok. so i was thinking about installing some custom roms and using them for a few days weeks to see how they perform but i was wondering what the best way to back up my apps/data and contacts would be so they can easily be restored after i have installed a new rom.
I dont have a memory card for my phone so i just have the 16gb internal memory so if i use an app that saves the backup to my phone would i just transfer the backup data from my phone to pc then after i have factory reset/wiped the cache and dalvik and intalled the rom put the backup file back on?
Also is there anything i NEED to back up on the phone or is it just the stuff i want like app data and contacts?
Thanks.
titanium backup
thank you.
Because i will be factory reseting the phone before i install the new rom will i need to move the titanium backup from my phone to computer?
will the reset and wipe delete the backup?
Use as said titanium for data and apps and gmail for contacts sync. You can copy the titanium files to your computer just in caseto be safe.

Just remember that if you wipe sd and you don't have external, then you won't have a Rom to flash to so you will be left with choice of either pushing the zip to sd with ADB, or flashing stock/rerooting/cwm/etc
R: Best way to backup?
Yeah man try to keep it simple...
just make a full backup with titanium backup pro (set backup folser to external sd card or just move the backup to the sd card when its done) it will require a lot of space if u had a lot of apps...
Flash all you want and put the new rom on the phone.
Then remember to have the titanium backup apk ready on your sdcard to be installed when ure done setting up the new rom(or go get it back off the play store if you wish), then install titanium and restore from the backup folder...simple

1. Titanium Backup

4.Nandroid backup from recovery if you ever want to go back to an old rom.
I rooted my new sgs3 i9350 and installed cwm. Do I need to do a backup? And how exactly do I do it. So new to all of this, thanks

You can use titanium backup for game save,app, message.. backup.
Cwm recovery/backup and restore/ choose wether you want to backup to internal or external sd (I suggest external)....this will basically make a complete system image that you can restore if anything goes wrong, also backup your efs and copy backups to computer.
Backup user apps and system with Titanium as well.
