Install a custom recovery like TWRP on all devices. Make a backup. Copy it to your computer and then move it into the TWRP directory. (/sdcard/TWRP/deviceID/buildnumber/) Boot TWRP and restore the backup.
This can only be done if all models are the same and if twrp or cwm is available for the device.
So I've been doing it since twrp I create a backup by selecting all the items, then I save it in the sd card. When going to the other device (all the devices are the same) I select to recover from the sd but it does not read the folder it is only read from the device that I know.

Because of the device ID part. When you make the backup, don't grab the whole TWRP folder.
It should be something like /sdcard/TWRP/(device id)/(build number)
You want to navigate to the build number folder and copy it. Then you copy it into the same place on the other device. The only thing different is the device id part of the path. If you copy it there it will read it.

I bought a used Hero that's already been rooted. I wanted to backup the ROM on there so I installed ROM Manager and it flashed my bootloader image.
Obviously now I don't have the proper recovery image, I have the ROM Manager recovery image. As far as I can tell this image doesn't allow me to do stuff like Clear Dalvik Cache, reset my apps and such.
It does allow me to install a custom ROM -- I installed VillainROM -- but it doesn't let me actually clear my data on my device. So Villain runs like laggy crap because I can't do a proper factory reset with the image. It also didn't delete any of my settings or apps.
Am I missing something or do I have to redo the root procedure to get the proper recovery image back?

No no,... You should be ok to just reinstall the patched recovery.
Try following these instructions from BTDAG's [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 14/04]
Installing a recovery image:
1. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications - and make sure "Unknown Source" is ticked.
2. On your phone, go to Settings > SD card and phone storage - click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card.
4. Plug the phone into the computer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec - FlashRec.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 - Amon_Ra’s Hero Recovery Image
6. Copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
7. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
8. Go to the Market and download ASTRO File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
9. Open the file manager and find the FlashRec apk file and click it and choose open app manager and then install it.
10. When it is installed click Open. Click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish. If you get "backup failed" response see the "Ib. Installing the correct HTC ROM" section for more details, if the backup is a success carry on.
11. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
(replace exact name as new versions come out)
Then click on the Flash Recovery Image button and wait for it to finish.

All your current settings and apps will be gone after flashing a ROOT rom, only the content within Internal SD will be kept, so backup somewhere first.
If you must keep your current apps and settings.. read post #12
==============================================================
You need a Linux environment to do the following... (read #2 if you know windows only)
1. First of All, download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0
2. Unzip it, you'll have a folder "dload"
3. Extract the file" system.img.ext4" from the Update.zip
4. Copy the "system.img.ext4" into your Linux Environment..
5. mount the image file like these...
#mkdir /mnt/tmp
#mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /mnt/tmp
6. put the "superuser" binary into the path /mnt/tmp/xbin
#cp su /mnt/tmp/xbin
7. Assgin the correct permission to the su binary
#chmod 6755 /mnt/tmp/xbin/su
8. Unmount the path and copy the system.img.ext4 into the original Update.zip
#umount /mnt/tmp
9. Put the "dload" folder into the root directory of a Micro-SD
10. Power Up your mediapad, when it vibrates, press and hold Volume Down until you see the Android icon, and it will try to flash the new ROM.
11. After everything is done, Look for Super User from Market, you'll see.

1. Download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwid...ctId=3779&tb=0
2. Download a "system.img.ext4" file which already contain the su binary
OLD: http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB) (from ROM dated 26 Nov 2011)
NEW: http://www.multiupload.com/OV7QJ27TGT (118.26MB) (from ROM dated 9 JAN 2012 )
!!! ALL I did to these files was putting the su binary, nothing else I have modify.
!!! If you still feel unsafe, just follow how I did in post #1 by yourself
3. Replace the "system.img.ext4" file in update.zip from Huawei with the one you downloaded in step 2.
4. Copy the "dload" folder into the root directionary of the micro-SD
the folder should contain "unlmt.cfg" and "update.zip"
5. Power off your mediapad, insert the micro-SD then Power ON again.
6. Follow the screen, when it finish.. remove the micro-SD
7. Look for the SuperUser app from android market, DONE.
You have the latest ROM with root now.
====================
Alternate TRICKY METHOD:
====================
Flashing only the "system.img.ext4" into your mediapad directly via fastboot would kept your current DATA and Apps untouched.
NOT recommended for production, as Huawei updates things other than the system, so flashing only the "system.img.ext4" may lose those updates !
BUT this method could give you a chance to make a backup via titanium before flashing the new ROM completely.
To activate fastboot mode of mediapad..
1. Power OFF, and connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable.
2. Power ON the mediapad with Volume Up button pressed and hold until your computer sense it. (install the correct driver..)
3. Put all fastboot files(attached below as zip) and the "system.img.ext4" in the same folder.
4. Open up a DOS promp, go to the path you have those files and type...
fastboot flash system system.img.ext4
5. Check your mediapad, when it done reboot your mediapad.. DONE

With root access, do you know if it causes any problems to uninstall some bloatware (i.e, blockbuster app, Lets Golf 2, Blio, Qello, etc)?
Also, are there any ROMs available for the Springboard/mediapad?
some tips:
1) some distribution of linux may have "read-only filesystem" problem when cp su to mounted system.img.ext4. try it on older linux kernel distribution.
fedora16,ubuntu 11,mint 12.. have this problem.but fedora13,mint 10 is ok.

MediaPad root and keeping APPs and Settings
TRICKY METHOD to keep current Apps and Settings.
For important data, please copy it out of your mediapad before continues...
==========
How it works
==========
Flashing only the "system.img.ext4" would update your system path
and keeping your current apps and settings untouch.
Backup your apps and settings after you gain root access.
Flash again the whole root ROM after the backup.
Restore all stuffs after the 2nd Flash.
============
Steps to Follow
============
1a. Download a "system.img.ext4" file which already contain the su binary
OLD: http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB) (from ROM dated 26 Nov 2011)
NEW: http://www.multiupload.com/OV7QJ27TGT (118.26MB) (from ROM dated 9 JAN 2012 )
OR
1b. Make your own "system.img.ext4" file like post #1 mentioned.
2. Activate fastboot mode of mediapad by
Power OFF, and connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable.
2. Power ON the mediapad with Volume Up button pressed and hold until your computer sense it. (install the correct driver..)

4. Open up a DOS promp, go to the path you have those files and type...
fastboot flash system system.img.ext4
5. Check your mediapad, when it done reboot your mediapad..
6. Install SuperUser app from market, install Titanium Backup.
7. Make full backup in titanium, all those backup files will be kept in Internal SD, which it will not be touched when flashing the 2nd time.
8. Download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0
9. Replace the "system.img.ext4" file in update.zip from Huawei with the one you downloaded/made in step 1.
10. Copy the "dload" folder into the root directionary of the micro-SD
the folder should contain "unlmt.cfg" and "update.zip"
11. Power off your mediapad, insert the micro-SD then Power ON again.
12. Follow the screen, when it finish.. remove the micro-SD
13. Look for the SuperUser app and Titanium backup from android market again.
14. RESTORE everything from the Titanium backup
(!! make sure you have selected "RESTORE", not BACKUP, it's easy to mix up!!)
15. You have now the complete updated and rooted system together with your previous apps and settings.
I would appreciate you're patient enough to go through all these steps..
if you like this post, please click THANK YOU
although I still don't know what's the use for that thanks meter..
After checking the time stamp and file size of all files inside the ROM dated 21 JAN 2012
I confirm the ROM dated 21 JAN 2012 is identical to the ROM dated 9 JAN 2012
If you have already flashed the 9 JAN 2012, you're already using the latest version.

Does anyone know why Ubuntu 11 mounts the system.img.ext4 in a strange form of rw ? I've been over this again and again. I've run up Linux Mint 10 on usb and mounted it successfully but it makes no sense that Ubuntu does the same. There must be something odd with the newer linux kernel causing this problem but nobody seems to know why. It seems crazy to have to run up an old OS just to mess about with an ext4 filesystem.
Any ideas ????
Does it support *loop device* ???

I got a nook tablet recently, i registerested it already which i understand you have to do... now i want to backup everything and run regular android as in not B&N version. Im not sure which way to go from here, i see there is an sd option and a regular option?
i was reading this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439630
as i was getting ready to do it, i started to double think if it was what i wanted.
i want to be able to run the latest android rom possible.
appreciate any help, thanks.
The process you are linking to is very simple and "safe". With the card you create you can startup CWM (ClockWorkMod - utility for flashing and backup and more) and not only root your device, but also make a backup, should you want to go back to where you were prior to flashing whwaever you decide to flash.
The rooting alone lets you install apps from other sources than BN. I think rooted stock tweaked a bit isn't too bad to run actually!
To try out other options completely risk free you can run CM10 (ICS) from an sd card. I do that while I wait for CM10 to be more stable/bug free. It runs incredibly well from sd, and I doubt performance will be greatly enhanced onec I install it internally (as I probably will do at som point.
To run from sd card you don't have to root the device unless you want to.
Great guides for making a sd-card are here and there. For example http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
The first thing I would suggest is to make a bootable recovery SD card using the process and files from here (use the MLO_u-boot_flashing-boot.rar and one of the packages with sdcard.zip suffix), and backup your current stock config and safely save/archive the backup folder -- you'll be glad you have it around one of these days. Make sure that you also keep a copy of whichever recovery program version you choose to use together with the backup folder, since different recovery programs and versions use different backup file archive formats.
If you want to root the NT I would recommend using the update.zip referenced in this post (by liquidzoo) which is more up-to-date than the rooting package you saw (I had used the latter version and had problem updating its Google Store app). Just put this zip package on the same recovery SD card and use the recovery program to install it.
Having tried out the rooted form of the NT for about a week I think it's just marginally better than a stock NT -- there are just so many common apps that are no longer available for the NT's Android version. You would be much better of investing time in going full-fledge CM10, either running off an SD or natively. If you choose to go native CM10 you can revert back to stock using the backup discussed above.
Can you please verify if I am doing the correct thing
@digimax,
I just got my Nook Tablet today, so just wanted to be very clear to make the backup of the current stock config. Here's what I propose to do. Please correct me if I am doing anything wrong.
1) As per you post, I downloaded 3 files
a) MLO_u-boot_flashing-boot.rar,
b) CM9-10_CWM_V6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip,
c) CM9-10_TWRP_v2.2.2.0_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip
2) Unzip all the above 3 files
3) Rename the CWM file to recovery.img
4) Rename the TWRP file to altboot.img
5) Copy recovery.img and altboot.img and MLO, flashing_boot.img and u-boot.bin to the root of the SDCard.
6) Insert the SDCard into the Nook Tablet and boot the Nook into one of the recovery and make a backup.
Please let me know if this is the correct procedure.
Thanks!
It looks right, make sure that your boot partition is Primary FAT32 (type 0x0C) with LBA and Active flags set (you can check and set all this using a partition management tool such as MiniToolPartition).
Also, to boot into SD: just turn off the NT and insert a powered-USB cable, and the NT will boot up after a few seconds (assuming that the SD is bootable).
Once CyanoBoot comes up, hold the "N" button to get the boot menu from which you can select one of the two recovery programs.
a lot of this is going way over my head, i need to make sure i go slow and read carefully.
thanks for all the info.

Remember that you can make CM10 run totally risk free from am SD-card. That way you can have a smooth running device to explore while you keep reading up on diffrent options. That's what I do! The Tablet doesn't even have to be rooted to do this (mine is though).

This is the website I used:

Look through the comment sections for further clarity on the process.
If that is beyond you, then I suggest getting a pre-made image for the size of SDCard you have and burning your own image. Google AndroidforNook or N2A for the website links.

thank you guys so much!
Hope this is in the right place ..
I have a couple of Tanix TX3 mini TV boxes that I would like be able to backup and recover across devices.
I have put S905-TWRP3-VIT.zip onto a micro SD card and can load TWRP from the boot recovery menu.
I can then backup ROM, system and data partitions to a USB flash drive.
if I now go into the restore menu I can see the backup file.
My problem is that if I now start TWRP from a different device I can no longer see the backup file.
If I create a very small backup, I can see the new backup but not the old one.
If I reboot normally, I can see both backup files within the same directory via any file explorer app.
Obviously, this stops me from being able to restore the system to the target device.
I can't see anything obviously wrong, can someone tell me where I am going wrong please?
Many thanks

Solved
Since there aren't any Custom ROM for the SM-T380 I made this TWRP back from my tablet, running on stock Pie I took all the bloatware, Knox out to add some root mods, and latest updates with Magisk root with Safetynet Passing. No other personal app added
This is a compressed TWRP backup, not a flashable ZIP!
Download it from here

how to install TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../twrp-3-2-1-1-tab-sm-t380-10-02-2018-t3747564
DOWNLOAD zip file first then EXTRACT that zip file from above Google Drive's link to your PC using 7zip
Now REBOOT your tablet into TWRP recovery
connect tablet using USB cable to your PC make sure you have Samsung drivers installed, so you can see your tablet on your PC
Now ON your Tablet create a backup within TWRP's backup tab on your SD Card storage (choose storage as a SD card)
Using your PC browse to that folder and open that SD card's TWRP backup folder.
Go to last folder where you should see some files, delete all of them then
Copy EXTRACTED files from (Google Drives) into that TWRP backups folder on your SD card TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxxxx/ from your PC to that SD card using your PC.
xxxxxxxx is your device serial number;
Once done copying the file
go to, restore's tab within your TWRP on your tablet
RESTORE everything showing there (all those three partitions) once done
REBOOT to system
IF you can't see those copied files on your tablet's SD card then you have not copied those files into it also you can restart your tablet back into recovery using TWRP after restarting you should see those files into your SD card using restore tab within TWRP.

Can you tell me how you rooted the SM-T380 I tried rooting it using the 2018 guide but it's not working and I tried patching the Boot.img ( from Sammobile) with magisk but when i open the magisk app it says Installed: N\A Ramdisk: Yes A\B & Sars: no.
Or can you share the stock boot animation from the T830 since I'm not a big fan of the Marvel's avengers/iron man boot animation.

@xfk110, out of sheer desperation I want to try this. I understand why and how it should work, and I'm downloading your backup now. But a couple of questions first if I may:
1. Will Titanium Backup work with this rooted firmware? That's most important and my biggest frustration, after trying every other way described in the T380 threads, with both Oreo and Pie, TWRP or patched boot image. Nothing has worked well enough for me.
. . . My Tab A arrived with XAR 3CTH4 which meant I could downgrade it to the last Oreo update 3BSD1, and I've been back and forth between versions trying to make something work with TiBu. I'm a diehard Titanium user. I have tried 4-5 different root methods and every effort has failed somehow, if only that TiBu would not run. (Most efforts were even worse failures though.)
2. How important is the firmware version (and CSC) on my Tab A? . . . My T380 came with XAR firmware . . . Should I match the 3CSL2 version of your backup exactly, i.e., should I flash 3CSL2 first? Or if I'm on 3CSI5, would that be close enough? (I ask because I'm getting really really tired of changing firmware on this Tab lol, and I already have 3CSI5 downloaded and unpacked.)
3. You mention "all of those files" -- for a TWRP restore I would expect to select ONE FOLDER to restore from, so I'm a little confused about what you mean by "all of those files". Wouldn't it necessary to copy all of those files to one new folder under TWRP/BACKUPS/my-serial-number? Maybe named 2022-01-18, something short and simple.
I do truly truly hope this will work for me. Thanks in advance for however much you can help me understand everything I need to do to get a solid working root.
Just wanted to thank you for providing this guide. It worked first time for me and I'm very happy with the improved speed and space.
Thank you!

Since there aren't any Custom ROM for the SM-T380 I made this TWRP back from my tablet, running on stock Pie I took all the bloatware, Knox out to add some root mods, and latest updates with Magisk root with Safetynet Passing. No other personal app added
This is a compressed TWRP backup, not a flashable ZIP!
Download it from here

how to install TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../twrp-3-2-1-1-tab-sm-t380-10-02-2018-t3747564
DOWNLOAD zip file first then EXTRACT that zip file from above Google Drive's link to your PC using 7zip
Now REBOOT your tablet into TWRP recovery
connect tablet using USB cable to your PC make sure you have Samsung drivers installed, so you can see your tablet on your PC
Now ON your Tablet create a backup within TWRP's backup tab on your SD Card storage (choose storage as a SD card)
Using your PC browse to that folder and open that SD card's TWRP backup folder.
Go to last folder where you should see some files, delete all of them then
Copy EXTRACTED files from (Google Drives) into that TWRP backups folder on your SD card TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxxxx/ from your PC to that SD card using your PC.
xxxxxxxx is your device serial number;
Once done copying the file
go to, restore's tab within your TWRP on your tablet
RESTORE everything showing there (all those three partitions) once done
REBOOT to system
IF you can't see those copied files on your tablet's SD card then you have not copied those files into it also you can restart your tablet back into recovery using TWRP after restarting you should see those files into your SD card using restore tab within TWRP.

Hello could you please make a video, the truth is that I do not understand anything.
Can this process be done using internal storage?

No, unfortunately, this process can only be completed with a micro sd card and another computer with an sd card reader. the sd card must be at least 8gb to work.
Still works great as of 3rd May, 2023! Thanks mate.
@banistersmind @mehmeh.re I just did it without an SD card using internal storage. Works fine.
