Hello, die-hard Z2T fans. I have a new-to-me SGP561. It is a replacement for a broken SGP511. Before I gave up the SGP511, I had the presence of mind to do a nandroid backup (TWRP 3.0.2). Once I root the SGP561 and install TWRP, will I be able to restore the old image to the new(er) tablet?
Thanks for any advice!

No, that would not be advisable.

Oh, just remembered:
Titanium Backup at least allows you to extract apps+data from TWRP backups so that could be helpful. That did not work reliably for me in the past, though. Don't know if it has become any more reliable.
There might also be other apps that allow you to extract specific parts of your backup.

Hi
I got a cheap LG GT540 a wee while back and now I want to try and install a more recent version of Android (I currently have version 2.1 installed). I think I understand how to do this but the biggest concern I have is that my phone gets bricked and I have to reinstall. The tutorials I have encountered are mostly over a year old and I want to be certain that I can backup the whole image on my phone and recover it. I would be grateful if you could please confirm what the current best ROM Backup/recovery app to do this?
The best way if via Nandroid backups from your recovery.
(On CWM Recovery: Backup&Restore->Backup or Backup&Restore->Restore)
A Nandroid will give you a full image of everything, Titanium Backup will allow you to pick and choose what you do or don't restore. For both you need a rooted device.
Yeah, with Titanium Backup you can backup/restore the apps and settings you want. It´s very useful if you went to another ROM like MIUI or so.
I always use CWM recovery and Titanium Backup. Safe and sound
I just use a nandroid back up.
Titanium back up can extract bits from a nandroid backup as well.
in the play store u can even get apps backing up ur call lists and sms
Thanks everybody for replying.
I had problems trying to backup ROM, got impatient and finally managed to upgrade to CyanogenMod v6. It wasn't the strategy I had in mind but finally got there in the end!!
My Backup Pro is a good application!!
+1 for Titanium Backup
CWM is what I always use.
CWM is the best...
some app can't restored with titanium backup...
I usually just use the Nandroid backup inside CWM.
I am also using titanium backup (paid version), but I am told not to restore the system data of the previous ROM after updated to a new ROM, because the system data of the previous ROM will cause instability to the new ROM.
I am doing automated backups with Titanium (paid version), and I also make nandroid backup every now and then.
Can Anyone give me the .apk link of a backup/restory app? I looked for one in the play store..but they all are paid..I want to root..but dont have a credit card..please help

I'm also using the titanium backup, but you need the pro version to access some features. I'm satisfied with it.
So I must buy it? There is no free rooting and back up/restoring app? Is Titanium the best one?

I have seen members saying that nandroid backup is like the first thing to do before flashing/rooting etc.
I want to ask, how important is nandroid backup for our device? I read somewhere that its nearly impossible to brick your rezound as long as its S-ON, so is nandroid backup still important?
Thing is, my memory card slot is not working and there isn't a way to backup nandroid. Was thinking of flashing some ROMs.
Nandroid are like restore points, if you mess something up you can always go back. It's a must for frequent rom flashing unless you like losing all your data every time you mess something up and end up running an RUU to get it back to working order. Idk if it's possible to maybe have the nandroid save on your internal storage.
Also look on the play store, I remember seeing someone make an app that will do a nandroid backup to cloud.. While the device is booted.

If I make a backup with TWRP, can I restore it if needed using AmonRa?
Thanks for the replies.

I don't know about TWRP and AmonRa, but I do know that TWRP and CWM didn't like each other the last time I tried, which was a couple months ago for a friend. I had to do a different backup using TWRP because it would not read the previous backup properly, which was made with CWM.
EDIT: I did find that Amon Ra can restore CWM backups.

Hi guys,
Can anyone recommend any good software that can take an image/dump of my zperia z tablet?
I have it updated and is in a great state and would love to be able to just make an image dump and later load ftf file of its current state for a back/restore.
Thanks

It depends, if you have root, you can try installing a custom recovery (CWM) and create a backup inside that tool, it's a complete backup of your system, so later if you need to go back because you screwed something, you can go the recovery and restore that backup and get the same state when you created the backup.
Also the other way is using Titanium Backup, it doesn't need a customer recovery, it creates a backup of all your apps with their data, etc.
I use both in that way i feel more safe and also if i need to restore only 1 or 2 apps only i can manually do it using Titanium Backup.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks for that.
dont have root so ill look into titanium and see how it goes.
As far as I know Titanium Backup needs root. And go for Pro version. You will be able to freeze/defrost apps which is awesome if you want to tweak your device.

I use TWRP all the time and I have no issue with my backup or restore. I currently have 4 backups and all have been restored one time or another. Is your TWRP blue or yellow?
Yellow.
Actually, I was trying to restore my apks and data AFTER I made two nandroid backups of the stock ROM: One totally stock and one after mods to build. prop and removal of bloatware.
and what is the error message? I will upload a restore if you want and you can try to restore it if you want and it will tell you if its the backup or the phone recovery itself.

Do you mean a restore from TWRP or the MyBackup Pro app?
If it's the latter, then, sure. I'll try anything once lol.
Oh, BTW, there were no error messages shown. Everything ran normally.

I found that twrp 2.8.3.0 cannot restore the DATA partition on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (klte).
I went back to 2.8.1.0 and now I can restore also DATA.

I have TWRP ver. 2.8.0.0. Will I still be able to restore data partitions on that?
I'm also curious about the issue of restoring my apks and data onto the phone AFTER full wipe thru TWRP. It's been ongoing since TWRP was installed. A Dev team for their popular backup app is still checking for more bugs.
I think I'm lost at ...why not just restore data with TWRP?

Restoring a nandroid backup thru TWRP was never an issue. That part works fine. It's restoring the apps and data that are stored on my memory card back onto the device AFTER a clean wipe using the My Backup Pro app is where I'm having problems.
I hope this has clarified things a bit.

Titanium Backup works to properly restore data and apps after a new wipe or even a new phone (dissimilar hardware). I haven't used the My Backup Pro app because Titanium Backup (root) has worked so well...that or just nandroid/twrp full backups. Have you tried restoring via TWRP, then make a new backup with Titanium backup then wipe, then use TI to restore apps+data?
I have two I527 phones - but one is ATT and one is Rogers Canada. Both are rooted.
I know I can use my backup pro or Titanium to back up and restore the apps and their settings.. but...
How do I make a mirror copy of one phone onto the other - meaning - I want to be able to copy the entire set up - including home page and all the pages.. So that they would have identical screen configuration - all configurations actually.. so that I can swap the sim card and SD card to swap between phones.
I am seeking a paid user friendly solution - either from app store or windows software.
Thanks.
Take a full backup (including data) using recovery and restore it in the other phone (only if both the device are of same model)

This is not a useful response.. Full back up with what? I don't know which program would restore all the page set up also. I do know how to backup using mybackup pro.. but it does not restore the pages.. I don't think titanium does it either but I didn't try
You said you have two identical phones and both of your units are rooted. So the best and easiest and fastest way to make 'a mirror copy' is to make nandroid backup of the first one using custom recovery and after transfering backup file to SD of the other one - restoring this backup using custom recovery in the second phone. This way you will get 'mirror copy' of the first phone onto second one wth all system and data.
I hope you know therms 'custom recovery' and 'nandroid backup' (no offence).

No offence taken.
Frankly, I have done custom recovery, years ago.. I have never used nandroid backup..
Based on your reply, it occurs to me that the only way to restore a "mirror copy" of the phone is to follow your guidance..
Unfortunately, I made a mistake in not being clear. Both are I527 but are not identical. They have different ROMs.. one is Rogers Canada and the other is ATT.. Therefore, I don't think the custom recovery path would work.
Any other options? I was hoping there would be a paid software..

no paid software for backup data. the one and only with CWM (Philz recovery)
use Philz recovery, its more easy for backup and restore. but after backup you must copy the data in clockworkmod in your computer because the data in sdcard sometimes corrupt and you cannot do restore anymore
