Hello,
It would be great if someone could help me out.
I have spent the whole day trying to find out if it is possible to create a flashable rom from an already running and setup android device.
I have found many tutorials on how to create roms from scratch, but can't seem to find a way to do it from an already running android device.
I already have an android device setup with all the apps, settings and files I want in the rom. I wondered if there was a way to use my Windows system to create a flashable rom from this device which I can then use to setup/flash new devices.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for your time.
Hi there, i am curious as well if this is possible.
I have to set up about 1600 Samsung S5 mini phone's for a customer. Almost al the setting, apps en stuf are identical so i would also like to create a flashable rom / image from one phone so we can install it to the other 1599 phones
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
From what I have read online if you are wanting to do this for a phone you can do a nandroid backup. I have just found a number of guides on how to do this with phones. If you search this forum for nandroid backup you will find them. Hope that helps you steefzz.
I am actually trying to clone TV box with all apks installed and configured. I can see how I can package apks into a rom, but they won't have all addons and settings saved. This is why I was hoping for a way to clone the entire device to restore onto future devices.
Ideally i don't even want to have to power up the devices, I would like to plug them into my PC apply the cloned rom and that's it.
If anyone has an idea of how to do that without having to pre-install any recovery or software onto the devices, or even power them up before hand ( they are already rooted) that would be great.
Thanks again.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
With a nandroid backup it wil indeed kind of work out how i want, however when i want to restore a backup to the phone, the backup has to be in \TWRP\BACKUPS\<PhonIdNr>
The Phone Id number is unique and before i can restore a backup, i first have to make a small backup to create these folders.
Also i am expected to write a manual so that other collegaes can also do this procedure. For me it's no problem (i'm using custom roms for about 5 years now with different brands) however most of my collegeas are not known with these methods to restore a nandroid.
So i was experimenting with the creation of a own made custom rom . For now it partially worked. I managed to make a flashable zipfile. However it only work is i dont install the /data folder. If i only install the /system folder it works fine, only i have to maken al bunch of manual setting. When i also install the /data folder the phone is stuck at boot logo, when i then full wipe i, it will boot again.
So i actually would like to maken a flashable zip or an Odin flashable tar that also contains (some) /data.
Is this even possible?

Hi
Maybe this is a noob question but I couldn't figure it out myself...
Is there a way to backup the WHOLE device into a single file (like a ROM)? That is, not only the actual ROM but also all the programs that were installed after the ROM was flashed as well as all the settings that were made? So, I'm speaking of something like an image file of the complete device, as it is...
Why I'm asking this... I have tried many different WM6.5 ROMs with some of them not being stable or good. Some of them generated spontaneous hard-resets, even though I had flashed the stripped ATT ROM before and did a hard reset after flashing... Now I have a very nice, stable and fast ROM and everything works just fine, of course it took me a while to customize it for my needs. So, in case that hard-reset-thing occurs again or if I **** the phone up by installing some crappy software I'd like to have the option to restore the phone as it is NOW (and not after a hard-reset of course)....
Any idea?
I found this, but I'm not sure if this really backups everything or just the actual ROM...
Try SPB backup 2 or, if you can find it, SPB clone. They are commercial products but they are worth your money.
SPB clone is more business oriented as it clones the whole system and registry. Makes sure all company phones have the same base information/contacts/apps.
You can, in effect, use it to make another phone a clone of your Hermes however I have found that with both of these apps that the base rom isn't changed. It tries to make the os like the backup image. Clone has a better success rate than backup but remember that if there are certain files needed to make a different OS work, and they weren't copied in the clone image, it may brick your device requiring you to either start all over again with the new OS or going back to the rom you cloned.
Cheers...
OK, so am I right in saying that I need both, the actual ROM file and the backup file created by SPB clone in order to reliably restore my phone?
I did a search in the Vibrant section and did not see this mentioned anywhere.
P3Droid has released a Android app that makes a Odin flashable tar backup of your ROM, instead of having to restore a Nandroid. This allows you to store your favorite setups onto your computer instead of on your phone which you obviously have more room for anyway, and allows you a convenient way to quickly restore to a working state if something should go wrong with the current test ROM your trying. Conceivably you could make a Odin backup of every successful ROM you had on your phone, with all your apps and settings ready to go, all there waiting on your computer, saving you precious space on your phone, and maybe even precious time. Did you just brick your phone? Enter Download Mode, flash your latest OdinMaker tar backup and BAM, fixed back to working state. I have my doubts... Do you? lol
Samsung OdinMaker 1.0
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.p3droid.odinmaker.donate&feature=search_result
I kinda like this idea, but curious what caveats might be introduced. Its $2 and only gives 15 minute trial, so not possible to try this to verify that its works or not. And I'm sure it does not work for us CM7 users...
So, any thoughts on such an app???

If you just want to make an Odin flashable from a current rom then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943588
Basically do a system dump of the rom you want to package, move the files from your phone to your computer, put in correct folder and click start. Done and free. This will also allow a little bit of customization such as using a different kernel or modem.

Thank you EB for that information. I appreciate it much.....
Hello! I have a little experience using computers from late 1995 Year, and from year 2000 I am using also Linux from time to time, and very rare but it was a delight freeBSD. I have no experience on Android and MacOs.
Now, I all my family (father, mother, girlfriend and I) changed the phones on Android which is Linux based, but for ARM processors.
Anyway, I have played a little with Android 4 x86 on my laptop.
Please considering that I am new in the Android sutff.
From, my point of view, a Android Smartphone is just a little computer like an raspberry pi / pandaboard / beagle board.
So, a mini computer with an Arm processor running a very small and tiny operating system max 8 Gb, when on my gentoo install I had been using about 30-40 Gb. I know, the size can be affected by the compiling flags but anyway. Please corecct me if I am wrong.
Now, on all my system I had, from my experience I did 2 Backups, like this:
My laptop is backed-up on the External Hardisk number 1, and the External Hardisk number 1 is backed-up on the External Hardisk number 2.
So, as it is a good practice to have a backup handy, I keep 2 backups in 2 different location in case of hardware failure / water flood etc. Some of the files I need are backed up in the cloud, on the internet.
I use to make IMAGES of the Operating System partition, and of the mbr , and of the partition table, with software like Acronis True Image, Paragon, DriveImage XML, Norton Ghost, Clone Zilla.
When I had to do data recovery I did an Acronis "sector-by-sector" approach image of the hardisk, and I recovered files from that image.
Can you guys please introduce me please on the android field?
I assume that maybe I will need to get root on one or two phones, and one phone need's to be unlocked from the carrier.
Before doing this I would like to make a full backup of the phones.
1) How can I make a FULL backup of the android phones? In this moment my mother phone is a samsung galaxy mini2 Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 s6500 and mine is Sony Xperia L
2)
a) If I will "unlock" the phone from the carrier (locked on orange, but i wish to use also Vodafone, I tim, I wind, moviestar, o2 etc)
b) If I will "root" the phone to gain administrator acces on it
After step A) and B) if I will restore the original backup, the phone will be "locked" back to Orange, and "un-rooted", or it will be "unlocked" and "un-rooted"?
3) Instead of having an hardisk like computer have, I guess the smartphone is using an "usb-stick/sd-card/ssdhdd"-like memory for storage of the operating system, so how can I see the partition table, the mbr, on the device?
Thank you in advance!
In my experience the best backup apps available require root. So I would recommend unlocking and rooting the phone first, get all the apps you wish to use installed, then use clockworkmod recovery to make a backup. This backup will include everything including the current unlocked rooted status, and can be restored using the same software. I also reccomend titanium backup for app backups, which includes user defined settings for each app. There are free and paid versions of each and both work equally well. Both apps, Titanium Backup Root, and Clockwork Manager are available for install from the play store.
Thank you for your feedback, but I wish to backup before unlocking, I will root the phone only as a last resort.
It could be possible to need the phone locked up, if there will be warranty problems.
I am currently reading about Odin, next will be CWM and TWRP, as I am not familiar with those "tools" and I don't know for what are they used for.
As I learned by now, with odin I can go back to an old firmware. But first I need to learn how to back it up in this state, locked, and un-rooted.
After I have read, read, read, and read again a lot of posts, blogs, forums, it seems that If I wish to backup the Stock Rom, I need to do root on the device. But if I will "root" the device, make backup, change rom, then recover the stock rom from backup (which is in the rooted stage), can I UN-ROOT it again?
Yes. Most phones have unroot options available. Alternatively, flashing stock rom to a rooted phone using odin etc will be in unrooted state. Stock firmware will also return the bootloader and recovery( which is what cwm and twrp are btw) to stck as well.

I don't know which phone(s) you have, but let's say you root your phone. You can then install ClockworkMod Recovery which allows you to flash custom ROMs and make full NAND backups (backups of the entire system partition), i.e you can backup whole ROMs. If you're on a custom ROM and you want to go back to a previous ROM, then just restore your NAND backup from Recovery and voila! Your phone will look and behave exactly like it did before you flashed the other ROM, and all SMS', phone records and apps will be there. Sure, it'll still be rooted, but simply open SuperSU (if that's the root app you'll be using), go to settings and tap "un-root". Done.
So..
- Make a typical backup of stuff, like moving important things to your computer etc. since accidents happen.
- Root and install Recovery
- Make a NAND backup in Recovery
- Flash a custom ROM if you want to
When you want to go back to stock:
- Boot into Recovery
- Restore your NAND backup
- Reboot and you're done
- Un-root if you'd like to
Tip: Store your NAND backup on your SD card and not on the internal storage in case you ever do a complete wipe of the internal storage or something happens to your phone and you lose your backup.
Note: Be sure to quote this post if you want a reply from me. I'm not usually in the Q&A section, and i'll be notified by Tapatalk on my phone when you quote this post. That way i'll see your reply, and i can then reply faster again.
I tried to root the phone with some software found in this forum ( SuperOneClick ) but did not worked.
I tooked the phone to a service and Unlocked the phone from the carrier network.
I asked if the phone will be rooted after the unlock, and they told:
PhoneService: "No, but do you wish to be rooted?"
Me:"How is better and safe, rooted or unrooted?"
PhoneService: "You have the advantage for example that you can move the aplications to card, but is safe to have the phone unrooted"
Me: "If it is possible please root the phone"
PhoneService: "oky, give us 30 minutes"
After 30 minutes (I took a walking), they unlocked the phone but said that rooting the phone will take more time, so I not rooted the phone.
As the phone dosen't need neccesary to be rooted, as I have no aplication in it which require this (there is only 2 apps, Opera browser and Copy To Sim / Import contact to Sim), and I don't desire to install more apps on it as only my mother is using it, I will leave the phone unrooted.
I wished only to have a Backup of the rom, just in case something will go wrong, to restore the phone back to the warrany service if there is this need, but as long the phone can be locked be back again, there is no such need to root it.
Guys, thank you very much for the input, really appreciated!
How about a adb backup? Using adb tools. Try search on Google for it. If I remember correctly, root is not needed.
As you know TWRP on our phones allows us to instantly switch between ROMs, backup, etc. instantly. It's like an image based backup for our android devices. And exceptionally handy when wanting to try out different ROMS (Firmware here I guess). I have TWRP recovery installed and I was able to get it to see my nandroid online TWRP backup. I had to run a backup in twrp to see the directory it wanted as It would not let me specify the directory. Turns out it is /mnt/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/n70 for my device when choosing the external option. So I went ahead and confirmed the format of that backup is the same as the online nandroid TWRP backup and it is (mtd.win, ext4.win) so I went ahead and moved boot, cache, data, kernel, and system to that n70 directory. Beautiful TWRP recovery sees them! Making progress, I think. (See pic)
Then I go to restore this and I am met with "Unable to wipe data using function call". FAIL! Anyone have any idea what I may be able to do to make this work? I did check permissions of the TWRP backup directory to ensure all was well and it was. Perhaps TWRP doesn't have access to write to /data? I doubt that, perhaps this is an easy fix and TWRP can actually work well on these devices?
NOTE, you cannot backup from TWRP recovery as it shows /data as 0MB. Which may be part of the reason I get an error during TWRP restores?
Dave
Lets hope one of the dev's pick this up as this would be a great addition to help make life easier!
I agree. I couldn't even decompile the recovery. I fail!!
Dave
so nobody has any desire for this to work?
I pushed for having a working TWRP when these units first came out. The issue is none of the ROM makers have had the desire to move to this type of system for releasing ROMs, so all updates to the ROM force you to flash back the factory recovery to update you ROM, which makes it a PIA anytime you want to update.
fortunately the flash back to stock recovery is easy but twrp is so nice im surprised they aren't wanting to move to it. The backup/restore functionality is amazing as well.
Dave
I would love for them to goto this style of updating as it would make upgrades so much easier as well as could use things like Aroma Installer to keep me from having to nuke half the apps I do not use with Titanium Backup. For example the only stock apps I use are Bluetooth and Radio. And most of the other crap found in the latest roms, I kill as well as I do not use them.
I am so down for this! Would definitely donate to make it happen. Promise. Ask @Malaysk
as would I.
I also like to pay with PayPal ready

AFAIK its already been done, a year or 2 ago.
If I remember correctly it was working but it wasnt compatible with the way the MTCB updates work or something, did you search the original thread ?
Whilst I use TWRP on my phone I never tried it on my head unit or saw the need for it personally.
@Dees_Troy or @Captain_Throwback are the only guys I know capable of doing it. Maybe if they could give a hand. I have attached the 800x480 5.1 recovery if they would be so kind.
The wiki says its "now working perfectly" and gives a link to TWRP for Rockchip devices in a Freaktab post from 2014.
As I said earlier I m sure there was some reason why not many people use it, possibly to do with not being able to flash the MCU in TWRP or something.
Has anyone actually searched the original thread yet ? (theres only 11 pages to read through if you search "TWRP").

are you referring to http://freaktab.com/forum/main-category/freaktab-downloads/11780-twrp-2-7-0-0-for-rockchip-s
cos they are plagued with issues and use the kitkat base
When I use it it backs up a 0MB apps daa folder each time. You could always very quickly swap back to stock recovery for flashing of ROM'/MCU. It never worked for me properly and I don't see any indication anyone actually backed up and restored w/ TWRP. I provided the screen shots of what error was generating while backing up somewhere. It certainly does not restore an online nandroid TWRP backup either.r.

look like somebody also looking for TWRP on Joying HU. I'm also looking on it but seem to be not so much people interested on it. I dont mind that TWRP wont update the MCU but most important it can backup the whole rom & can restore back the rom exactly what it left previously.

Dont know sorry, but TWRP will be the same for ALL MTCB and MTCC hedunits, plus there are no "Joying" headunits, Joying are sellers only, they sell Joyous and other MTCB, MTCC and MTCD headunits.

Hi. Recently I stuffed my ZTE Blade A452 with MIUI ROM found on here: hxxp://forum.android.com.pl/topic/319435-a452miui-v8-miui-global-8020. I also installed TWRP . I've been using it for a while and unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. It is barely usable, phone crashes a few times a day, apps aren't kept in background.
I decided to come back to my stock ROM. I don't have, however, any back up of it. There are some sdcard packages on ZTE's support page, however when I tried to install it with TWRP, it displays that packages (all of them) are for device id P635F33, while my device is P635E40. And I found nothing for my dev id.
Is there a way to force installing one of those packages in my phone? Editing version.txt inside update.zip did nothing.
Maybe one of you guys have a matching package?
Also my sister's got the same model, Blade A452, bought at the same service provider. Maybe there is a way to extract a ROM from her phone and put it into mine? (Her device must be left quite untouched).

You Have a Same Phone Available .That is Great. You can give her Sleep Drug Sneak Into Her Room.Get the Phone From Under The pillow.And Now You can Unlock The bootloader flash TWRP Make a Backup and Then Flash Stock Recovery.Then Put The Phone Back Under The Pillow.The Process Will only Take about 30Mins.
5Min to unlock Bootloader
2.5Min to flash TWRP.
2.5Min to install stock Recovery
And 20 min to move the back Up
Or
You can Slice her Throat and Get the phone.Seriously Save 30Min of time.
Or
You can Backup Using a Desktop Application and Restore on your Phone.

Yeah, TWRP on her phone isn't an option, as the whole system is quite buggy and she's gonna probably use the restore option. I'm gonna try with some desktop apps and give an answer in 1-2 hours. Thank you.
Sorry it took so long to answer.
I couldn't make a nandroid backup any desktop app (MTK Droid Tools can't create scatter file, couldn't find any other app).
As I said, TWRP was not an option. But I managed to do the nandroid backup from phone-level anyways.
First I rooted the source device with KingRoot, installed on it BusyBox and made a custom TWRP-style backup on SDcard with Online Nandroid Backup *ROOT. Default settings are fine, even though it couldn't recognize my phone model.
Then I moved SD into target device and performed a backup with TWRP (just to create my device directory). Then I moved the source-phone backup into the new-created directory and performed Restore.
And Voila! On my phone there was a 1:1 copy of the system. It wiped out TWRP so I could perform a system Restore and get a factory-new soft.
Thank You. I didn't even realize it was possible to restore A-Backup on B-Device. Even though my sister's phone was a P635F33 (I didn't know it earlier) and mine was P635E40, it worked well.
