Hi,
I am looking for the best way to get a full back up of my phone, as per the Iphones, backed up through I tune.
In other words, how can I have/save an image of my note4, rooted already, and restore just in case?
Back up can be saved to the external sd card or PC.
Can it be done with titanium backup or any other app?
Anyone can explain how/which way can I use Titanium backup for that??
Thank you for your help !!

Today is a very sad day for me. Getting out of the car, my note slipped from my hands and fell perhaps 18 inches and landed face down on the parking lot. When I went to pick it up, the glass was a complete mess.
I still have functionality on my screen, although I have to be extremely careful to avoid slicing my finger on the exposed sharp edges of the glass.
I just rooted my phone and am (obviously) new to Android from years of being with the iPhone. I had replaced a couple of those due to theft and a single drop incident, and he backups and restore were very simple.
I have Titanium backup installed, and the phone is rooted using the stock ROM. Can someone please be so kind as to give instruction on performing a complete backup including all SMS/Call Logs/Apps/Data/Pictures, etc?
I will have to send the phone back to Squaretrade and will lose all information, so this is vital for me before sending it back.
Thanks in advance for the help.
You have clockwork recovery installed yet? if so go to recovery mode then hit backup..it will make a nandroid backup in your external sd card.

Just like he said, get CWM installed. Flash it you the Note and then make a nandroid backup to an external sd card, or copy the file to your computer. Then restore it when you get the new note.
Sent from the best phone in the world Galaxy Note!!!
The first two posts are your best bet. You can use Titanium Backup and do a batch backup. I don't think Titanium will back up everything though, for example I don't think it does SMS or call logs. Not 100% sure of that though.
Nandroid
Nandroid is probably your best bet. If Titanium Backup does not back up SMS logs there is a program called SMS Backup and restore that will backup all your sms messages to your external SD which is compatible with most messaging clients, I know it works with stock messaging, chomp, and gosms, not sure about handcent.
I haven't installed CWM yet. I will get that done and report back ASAP.

Also, copy any folder in sdcard folders out to computer just in case the methods above go wrong (not likely) But better safe than sorry.
Sorry to hear that
Hii everyone,
I have a samsung galaxy nexus, and I recently been having a lot of problems with it. Programs crashing, contacts crashing, MMS keyboard coming up and not typing and so on.....
My question is this, is there anyways to go into the files and take out my APK files, so I can do a factory reset and just reinstall those files again?
In my NOKIA days, we always had a backup option, where I would back up the files, and then do a factory HARD reset. And then I would restore the files using the back up.
In case of the android, I have LOTS and LOTS of files, and I dont want to go and download them all.
Any advice from you guys would be appreciated.

WONT that back it up on my phone again? And if so, then when i quick restore my phone, wont I lose it all?
TB can make backups of your apps and their data, so you can restore it when you wish (obviously, you need install TB first ).

titanium backup backs up your files to the sd card. When you do a factory reset it only wipes your system partition so the sd card won't be affected. You can then reinstall titanium and restore all your apps and settings/data.
my phone crashed during a billiard game and now the screen shattered, it's fine cause i have warranty but i don't know if they'll change the screen or replace the phone so i need to know everything is backed up.
i have a backup with titanium, and cmw and i know they both save the backup in the sdcard but does they can restore the information to a new phone? i just need to put the sdcard in the new one and titanium will restore the information?
second question, i have a lot of reminders in the "notes" widget that i can not remember, can i run the phone in a virtual machine in the computer even just once to see what i wrote there? i really need those notes.
thank you very much, sorry on my English and all have a good day and a great weekend
Yes. You should be able to restore your CWM backup to your new phone. You won't need your Ti backup as the CWM backup is a 'snapshot' of your phone at the time you took the backup.
the thing is the CMW backup is a bit old, can i restore the TI in a new phone?
what about getting the notes back?(i need them before the phone will be fixed)
OK. Think about what a CWM backup is & what happens when you restore one.
When you restore a CWM backup your phone (all of it; app settings, etc) will be restored exactly as they were when you took the backup.
The Ti Backup might restore OK to a different phone, never heard of anyone on here trying it, so you're only going to find that out when you try it.
As long as the version of CWM you use to do the restore isn't too far away from the version you used to take the backup, it should restore OK. If it doesn't, you might have to flash a kernel with the same CWM version you used to make the backup (to make a certainty of the restore working).\\
You can use ADB to pull stuff off a phone with a broken screen. Lots of tutorials about same on here/elsewhere (search).

thank you very much, new question, can i somehow backup (a cmw backup) the phone without the screen?
do you know in which folder the notes widget and the info of what i wrote is in the sdcard?
i've opened the phone on the coputer, but no folder contains the info for the notes widget, where the phone contains it?

edit:someone knows something like that to the S2? it will help me a lot with backing up and reading the notes

i managed to get the notes via kies but can't open them, someone know a way to open .smm files in the pc? can't find nothing on google
Hi guys, I was wondering is it possible to use Titanium Backup to make a full backup of my S2, and when i say full backup, I mean a Full Image of the Smartphone?
Like we can do with a PC or Mac?
If yes can someone point me to a guide?
If not, is there any app capable of doing it?
Thanks in advance.
No. Titanium cannot do this. A nandroid (CWM) backup is the closest thing to this; backs up everything except your external SD card & modem. It is essentially a 'snapshot' of the phone at the time you took it & if you restore one, it will revert your phone almost exactly to the state it was in when you took the backup (apart from the external SD card & modem if you've changed it as previously mentioned).
No, it is not possible to do a total 'image' of an Android phone as you would a PC, but if you do a Nandroid backup & also Titanium backup your apps regularly (either weekly/every few days or before you make changes to your setup), that will enable you to either recover or revert any changes quickly/easily.
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome
Just one more thing....if your on 4.1.2 make sure you bkup preload or nand wont restore.
Backup of S2.
Hello, i too would like to find a "way" or a "guide" to do a full backup of everything on my phone with a single click. Yes I'm New to it all... and before i rooted with siyah i backed up my phone via (KIES) followed the youtube root video Yep! Rooted my phone happy as larry THEN BANG! Kies wont recognise my device! Backup On My Pc USELESS! and yes i am at my wits end to try recover them text messages but ive started from scratch now on the dark side, now i wouldent mind a FULL BACKUP of everything .. except sd, so i can bring my phone back to samsung land get my contacts etc.. then cross back over to the darkside.
list of installed apps:
titanium , es file explorer , mobile odin , my files (lol) , air droid , spooffw , busybox , triangle away , sms backup & restore , bluetooth file transfer +++ more tried everything lol.
Thanks For Reading!
For 4.1.2 go with philz kernel. Go into recovery and tick preload Bk up and you will have a working nand on stock jelly bean read about it:thumbup: For custom Roms like cm aokp id use dorimanx 9.whatever and use hawkerpauls preload Bk up and restore scripts. Or you could just use hawker scripts for both jb and custom Roms.check to see if what ever your backing uses preload.
So I recently swapped from the Z1C to the Z5C.
Backed up everything using the Backup and Restore app from the Z1C, saved everything to the SD Card.
Now the Z5C will not find the backup to restore from.
I know that the Z1C backed everything up in .semc-fullbackup that resides in the root of the SD Card, and that the Z5C is looking for the files in SDcard/Android/data/SonyBnR, but the file structure is completely different.
Given that my Z1C is no longer available, am I stuck?
Probably - it's a terrible back-up and restore app. I tried to use it just to test the back-up/restore feature on my Z3C and couldn't even get it to recognize it's own back-up file. Even if you're not rooted Titanium Backup is the way to go from now on.
