Hello,
I have a S3 9300 and I have now rooted the Device.
I don't have any recovery or anything. I do NOT want to install any Roms.
How do I create a backup of my Build Prop? or like a safe backup?
Thank You

You can create a backup of your build.prop with a file manager that has access to root.
What would you like to back? Just apps or the whole rom/settings?

To create a complete "image" backup you will need to install a recovery but this will turn your counter from zero to one.
The alternative is to use titanium backup to backup all it can then copy your build.prop to another location where you can find it later.

No problems, are you concerned about any kind of warranty?

Google search for others!!!
Nandroid backup is complete backup of your entire ROM image. You can do this once you intall a custom recovery like clockworkmod thro' ROM Manager app. In ROM Manager you can see an option 'Backup current ROM'!! Use it!!

Hi!
I want to get rid off some apks (see title) with titanium backup.
The problem is, that those apks are listed as service, so titanium backup only backups data and not the app itself. So there is no way to restore?
Is there a way to restore these pre- installed apps after deletion (maybe I change my mind ).
TIA,
Caveman
I'm sure Layar is avalible on the market, so is the CarHome. LG App advisor is crap so you can forget about it.
Copy the apk from /system/app. You can do this by mounting the system partition as read and write, then cp the apks to your sd card
So there is nothing other than the apk?
Why does titanium backup delete these apks without backing them up?
Thank you,
Caveman
By the way, I haven't tried this yet with a ROM that hasn't been deodexed. Backup both (.apk & .odex) just to be sure if you're in a stock rom.
Regarding titanium backup, I have no idea. I backed something up and uninstalled. When I tried to restore, it won't. The option is grayed out
EDIT: Just in case --> http://theandroidsite.com/2009/11/2...and-paid-android-applications-for-root-users/
Ok, thanks.
BTW: First attempt to restore stock rom (if I saw that titanium backup did not backup LG's "services" it was too late ) went bad (the phone stayed in "emergency mode")- that just increased my heart rate . The second attempt (without LG's modem drivers) went well
Thank you all!
Good luck with the stock ROM restoration Btw, I just want to suggest that you don't use KDZ flasher to restore to stock firmware. If you already have a custom recovery installed, just flash another ROM over the one you want to replace.

How to prepare the original LG kdz to be flashed with custom recovery (I just installed it)?

What do you mean? If you mean flashing the KDZ from the custom recovery, I don't think you can.
Here's a handy list of custom ROMs we have in the site (at least for the O1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932158
It sounded like you could flash stock rom with custom recovery...
I noticed that there are a lot of custom roms available
So, thank you again,
Caveman
Sorry about that. How I talk/write can be confusing at times xD But yes, you can install the stock ROM with custom recovery, just not the .kdz file. From that KDZ file you can create a zip to flash using custom recovery.
I think the main reason why people revert to stock firmware (ROM + stock recovery) is because they have to take it to a service center and they still have their warranty. Or if they badly need the factory stuff xD

It`s another way to make a restore if I did a backup with CWM?
What did you backup ???
On what phone and what app to backup .
What CWM recovery are you using .
or are you trying to restore a backup from a different phone ??
Post is rather confusing .

MD5 is a way to control a TAR file.
It will missmath as well if you try to access the file via 7-Zip for instance.
Try to find same file elseware from the web, or excrtact end rebuild a direct tar file.
Good luck
I don't like CWM4 on CF-root
The reason i don't like it is: It makes the recovery disappear after about a day of use, Then i have to reflash, i don't want to do that.
CWM removes it's self for me
The thing i don't like about CF-Root, is and this may be my fault, It freezes some of my rooted apps that freeze bloatware (Easy Freezy) and it also removes the custom recovery by it's self
When i go into the app and click reboot recovery, it boot into Android system recovery.
I then have to reflash in order to get ClockworkMod back.
This other Root meathord: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Does NOT freeze some rooted apps like Easy Freezy and Adfree like CF root does for some reason.
Help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
Hello all,
I can't find in the forum a way of setting back the CPU speed to one that does not boot the phone. Is there a way of booting like in single user or safe mode to change the parameter back to 768Mhz ? I am avoiding to reflash the phone.
thanks

if you can access to recovery and were using an app to overclock you can mount /system and delete the app
if not you should have kept a backup to safely factory reset
which rom are you using?

Thanks! I am using MiniCM7-2.1.4 so it's part of the system settings. I tried now to re-flash without wiping off the directories and did not work. I could restore my last backup but it was done before upgrading the ROM so I am not sure it's usable.

the backup was a miniCM7-2.1.X version?
if yes, restore the backup and immediately flash the rom
(if not, you should have read that the first thing after upgrading is to perform a backup [one before and one after] to rollback safely )

Yes! That is exactly what I did.. restored a recent backup 'before flashing from CM7.1' and flashed the MiniCM7-2.4.1 right away and seems to be all cool for now.
Thanks for the tips

if you have any performance problem you'll need at least format sd and then reflash (after copying your files and not .android_secure and so on)

3. I wish to flash SuperROM3.1(from superRom2.0) and streetware kernel 0.4.3(from [email protected]#2) to solve it, what preparation and issue that i have to do or pay attention before flash it?, scare soft-brick(e.g. need to restore superROM 3.0 via CWM first before flash it to superROM3.1)...
4. Did superROM3.1 and streetware Kernel match? can put it togather? or have any suggestion for me?
5. [email protected]#2 is custom kernel? or officer?
6. my current basebandVer. and kernal, can flash the superROM3.1 and streetware Kernel directly?
7. Can i done it via CWM only?or need via Odin too??
8. Do i need to anythings on my firmware while/after flashing?
9. Why we need to wipe in recovery mode(e.g. wipe cache,wipe dalvik-cache)? Do it before or after flashing?

Im sorry, i din't found any app name"SMS app" via Titanium Backup...
may u suggest me, another way to backup sms content, thx ya
it is not another app you need, but just look a little more at the app list in titanium. depending on the language of your phone, the name might vary, but on a stock rom with english language os the entry you are looking for is:
"[sms/mms/apn]..."
of course sms app was just a hint and not the precise name.
also, this app is capable of backing up everything else you need, like pointed out, it is the simplest and most complete app for backups in preparation of changing roms.
