I have a rooted ATRIX. I am on Korea Telecom (In Korea) and there are no sbf backups available in the big thread.
However, I would like to try ROMing, but I'm afraid of toasting my Atrix with no way to get out. Therefore, I'd like to know a way to make a Complete backup of my phone so that I can recover when I inevitably screw up my phone with my endless tinkering.
Thanks for any help.
Do a backup in clockwork mod recovery or other custom recovery.
^ THAT.
boot into recovery>backup and restore>Backup>Choose where to backup>....done.
Wow. So easy. Thanks for the heads up guys. Just to make it clear, though. If I softbrick my phone, this backup will put me right back to where I was?
Yeah even if you somehow bork your recovery you can flash it back on with fastboot and restore that backup. It's stored on the sd so should be unaffected by anything you do really but keep a copy on a pc or w/e just in case.
So i have been rooted running pretty much every rom out there for the DNA and when i first rooted the device i made a back up with TWRP and flashed roms . Didnt think anymore about it however i tried restoring that back up and it failed so i deleted it .Since then i have tried cwm and twrp both with making and restoring back ups it has saved them but everytime i try to recover them it fails. im not sure why i need help if anyone has a sugestion please share with me i hate not having a back up to fall back on.

An update to TWRP was just released. Apparently the backups were working correctly, but there was a bug in restoring the backups.
You should be able to update using the goomanager app.
There is a thread in the original development subforum with more details.

I saw that. thanks
My backup hard drive dies this AM and I am looking for a clean stock NANDROID backup for the AT&T M7 (32GB). Would anyone here be able to help me out with this file? I am returning my phone to AT&T later this week and I need to restore it back to Stock. Thanks in advance for all your help.
Ladies and Gents,
I am pretty screwed, I've tried everything and my last hope is a nandroid backup. If anyone can direct me to a stock AT&T backup or another suitable one I would be most grateful.

It's from the unlocked 64GB but should get you up and running.
Ok, so looks like my phone decided to take some time off...
What happened was that yesterday I was playing a game on it and the battery had just about 3% left, so I put it to charge (wall charger) and the game froze.. Din't pay too much attention to it when I came back a couple of hours later, the phone was off. Turned it on and didn't go past the Samsung logo.... And it's been like this since then.
I was running a 4.4.4 ROM Eclipse V5 By AC, which was working fine and I have access to TRWP Recovery and also to Download Mode.
I have tried to restore a different nandroid backups and install other ROMS, inclusively an original stock ROM.. I tried to restore EFS, but only managed to restore and old one that was stored in the phone's memory.
I also have an emergency firmware and a stock one and I believe I have everything else to be able to do it by Odin, but I don't have USB debug!!!
Please tell me there is a "magical way" to enable USB debugging without having access to the phone!! Even on Download Mode, Odin doesn't recognize the phone. I also have Samsung and ADB drivers installed.
I'm getting desperate and don't know what else can I do to sort this out..
My phone is GT-I9300 International, running a 4.4.4 ROM (when it bricked) and have PhilZ Touch 6.48.4
Any ideas or suggestions, please???? Thanks guys!
Deinstall all Samsungdrivers, KIES and Odin on PC. Install actual software from sammobile.com. Try another USB-port, if possible at mainboard. Run Odin as Admin. If phone isn't shown in Odin, it's gone.
Hey rp158, thanks for your reply! I'll try and do that! Hope I don't have to bury it ......

*EDIT*
Thanks again for your advice rp158! I decided to borrow a laptop running Windows 7 (I have Windows 10 on my PC), installed fresh version of Kies and finally I got it to work with Odin!! Flashed a couple of emergency firmware and finally an original 4.3 ROM. The problem continued and finally I flashed an efs fix. I guess that did the trick and my phone came back from the dead! Rooted my phone again, installed PhilZ and restored a previous backup I had.
Now I still have one problem to solve! I still didn't managed to have network service... I already managed to fix my IMEI, or at least when I press*#06#, shows the right IMEI, but no network service....
I read about a few "fixes" for this but I haven't fully tried any of them.. Any suggestions?...
Thanks again for your help!
Maybe, you imported wrong settings by restoring backup. So go back to firmware again without any patches and check, whether IMEI and net access are ok. If not, try KIES-emergency-repair. If you succeed, don't use your backup (and continue with TWRP ).

Hi rp158, I've reinstalled the original firmare and ROM by Kies and everything went well but I was still getting a "0049" IMEI... I was burning my eyes so much because of it that I decided to take the phone to a store. They have been trying to re-register the IMEI for the last couple of days and just got a message saying that they have managed to do it. I'l pick it up tomorrow. If they really managed, it will cost me about 25 Euros, but will sabe a lot eye burning! :silly:
First I'll do is a Nandroid job and about 100 EFS backups! lol
It shouldn't be problem to restore a previous backup that I know it's working well, right?...
Maybe. Or a goed moment to try something fresh...

Hello rp158, they actually did it!! Phone works great and it's totally functional. Tried to find out what kind of software they used but they wouldn't tell me as expected..
Made a nandroid and efs backup straight away and restored my previous ROM, just to do a Titanium backup of everything and now I', using a 5.1 ROM.
Thanks again for your help!
@migasbr: fine.
