I have LG p769 from T-Mobile (rooted) running stock android 4.1.2. I want to try cyanogenmod on my phone, and see how well it does. I have alredy backed up app data and system data using Titanium backup. Now I want to backup the stock ROM in case if anything goes wrong. I tried using ROM Manager and TWRP Manager but neither of those support my device. I've searched all over the web and couldn't fing anything. I seriously don't know why there is no way to backup the stock ROM for p769. Can someone please help me through this? Thank you.

Hi Guys, i really need a hand lol!
I regrettably updated the phone to the new Sony Ericsson 2.3 software tonight and ran a back up prior to doing it so I had a collection of everything on the phone just in case something went wrong
I am trying to restore my contacts and data previous to the update but there is no flapping Backup and Restore option on the phone anymore on this new update.
I can see that backup file when i connect the phone to the PC under the data folder, so the information is there. I just need to know an app that i could use to get this running. I have tried one "BackMeUp" but its not finding the file
I cant believe this new software update does not have a backup and restore option in the phone!!!
Am i stuffed here? Isn't 2.3 compatible with 2.1?
What can i do... please help lol
Much appreciated
Try Mybackup. It worked for me

Thanks for your reply Jad
Question... Did you already have MyBackUp installed and ran the backup from this app? Or did you use the SE Backup and Restore app?
The problem i am having is that I have used the SE B&R app prior to the upgrade, so any other app I am trying to use is not picking up where the data is
Nothing guys???
After a bit of reading I think i have succumb to the fact that I need to flash this phone back to 2.1 unless anyoneeeeee knows any different????????? All the apps i have tried have got me nowhere
So i have a few questions before i do this:
- Does the phone need to be rooted before i use flashtool?
- Does it matter which firmware i put on when i flash it? I had a generic X10i 2.1 something (cant remember the build number). Is it safe to assume if I flash it with any 2.1 X10i firmware that the phone will be able to successfully restore?
- is my backup root a phone app or a pc app? I'm presuming a phone app and its a method you guys have used so it should work lol
- any custom roms you suggest for 2.3? I had the phone rooted previously but never got round to changing the rom on it. :/
- Dumb question but does the Backup & Restore function back up my apps aswell? When i restore it, will they appear again?
Please help... definite noob in distress here haha

You don't need to be rooted to use flashtool to flash a firmware.
You can use the backup+restore utility to restore apps in 2.1, then use titanium backup or mybackup to backup everything so you are ready for 2.3.
For a 2.3 custom rom I would recommend you Wolfbreak's rom, it's based on the stock rom with some tweaks which means you get a lightning fast rom with everything working.

Cheers Chris... would it be possible though to find the .apk file for the SE backup and restore and install that on the 2.3 software that is on the phone now without doing the flash back to 2.1. Done some more searching in the thread and noticed a few more people with the same situation
here you go backup and restore for GB! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193802&highlight=backup
Happy restoring
So here is the story:
I have a Galaxy S3 with Rogers (AT&T). I decided to root my phone which I did successfully using OSX terminal and installed goo manager as the rom manager and recovery. I installed SU and Titanium backup to get ready to flash. Backed up all my system + app data and searched for a rom. The first rom I flashed was 747 greystone. Once I flashed the rom, I restored the backup from Titanium and I believe I selected to restore all, system backup included. I later on learned that I ****ed up by doing so. Anyways, since I flashed that rom my GPS hasnt worked at all. I restored my nandroid backup, which I did before flashing greystone and nothing. I flashed team sonic's resurrection and nothing. Now I flashed Rogers (my provider) stock rom and still I can't get my stupid GPS to go on. What else can I do? Please help me!!!!

sorry, didnt realize.
sup guys, my question is, how you guys doing a full backup on NONROOT samsung galaxy s2 ?
i tried Helium, but it just backups your apps, no more ...
wanna root my s2 now and want a Full backup ( Files, settings, apps, contacts etc. )
found nothing on google and xda either, if there is a thread, my bad, tell just.
Root your phone first, then make a nandroid backup in CWM immediately after/before you do anything else to the phone (also backup your EFS as well). This will give you a backup of your stock setup/rooted which you can go back to if you need to; to unroot all you need to do is flash a stock kernel. Any methods while the phone is unrooted just involve a whole lot of stuffing around & aren't as thorough/easy as a nandroid IMHO
There is also the possibility to flash CWM temporarily and boot into it. This keeps your phone as original as it is and from there you can do a nandroid backup. After that you can root your device and in case something goes wrong you always can return back.
Have a look at Philz-Kernel thread, there you can find either a Kernel with built in root and CWM recovery but also the link to the temporary recovery (if I remember well).

I've flashed my phone a few times before, but the last time I've done so, Titanium Backup decided not to work, so I had a newly flashed ROM but no data to go with it. I backed up everything on my phone once (by means of copying&pasting all of the folders) on my computer, but putting them back on my phone didn't do anything.
Now I want to flash again, but I'm clueless as to what app I should be using to back up my phone, and which app would make it possible for me to have my data backed up. I know it sounds a bit vague, but basically, I'm looking to back up my phone so that when I clear everything and flash it, I'd like to restore my apps as well as the data along with it (like high scores in games). Does anyone have any idea what I should do? I currently backed up my current ROM (Android 4.3 and HTC Sense 5.0) with ROM Manager (v5.5.3.7), but I don't know if I can use that back up since I'm looking to flash Android 4.4.2 onto it.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: And I have one off-topic question... Should I flash gapps before or after flashing the ROM? I flashed gapps before and after last time and it worked fine, but I'm curious to know what the correct order is.
Hi,
I bought a Alcatel Onetouch T'POP 4010D Phone.
Because the internal Space is so small, I wanted to use Apps2ext, and the simplest way seemed to flash a rom.
So I rooted the phone, installed cwm and installed Xperia Z rom.
Sadly, I flashed a wrong rom, so my phone now only detects one SIM.
I made a Backup with CWM, but this doesn't seem to be enough. I can restore, but I still have the wrong ROM!
I have another Phone, totally unmodified! How can I read the Stock ROM of my second phone, restore it to the first and have it working.
I don't accidentally want to flash config settings that are phone specific (e.g. IMEIs).
I guess MTK Tool is the way to go?
Can you please tell me, what exactly I have to restore to get the Stock rom on my second phone but don't brick it?
Yes, its possible to restore from the a mtk_droid_tools backup of thre other

Its possible this way without any problems of bricking
Do a a backup with mtk_droid_tools of the second phone (unmodified or stock). Restore the backup with sp_flash_tool unto the first phone (with problems). Follow all procedures correctly and you will have a successful restore
