Hello everyone,
I am the guy who try installing new custom ROM on the phone, so I would like to ask you guys can we take the backup of the whole phone along with the ROM installed so if I installed new ROM & I didn't like it I can restore the backup again without installing it again.
So let me know.
Thanks
Rahul Jain
In TWRP you can go to backup, and select System, Data, Cache and Boot. I recommend doing the backup on your sd card, as the Data is usually huge. Then if you don't like the ROM, you can just restore from that backup.

This might be a stupid question, but is there any way to get my backup restored? I just tried to restore a backup through CWM but it wiped my villainrom flash and went back to what I had before.

Is that not the whole point you backup XX try ZZZ decide you dont like it and restore the backup of XX which wipes ZZZ .
jje
yes I realized that eventually, I thought the point was to save your data like apps, themes, etc. so you can load them in the new rom. my apologies
You should not restore cache. When you boot up to a new rom, it will just redo the cache anyways.
As for Clockwork Recovery backup and restore, it does a full backup of the rom, including cache and user settings and apps. It restores back to the original rom as well.
I think you want to restore your settings and applications of your old rom into villainrom. I wouldn't recommend it as it settings for stock and custom might be different and can cause weird issues.
on that note, is there any way to access that information after flashing the new rom (to see what apps i'm missing and download them all again so I don't have to just redownload each one as I realize i need it?) without restoring the backup
nevermind I ended up just going back to my old rom, thanks for the replies guys
There is this wonderful app called Titanium Backup, it backup all your wonderful apps. This way, when you switch ROMs, you can just restore all those wonderful apps that you have been stockpiling.
hello
how can I clean my SGSII ,phone SD, and external SD card from old installation files, folders,. Bla bla bla
now I have my ideal settings , ROM , everything ,
is there any way to format everything then restore CWM backup ?
thx
Backup everything (Ti, Nandroid, calls, sms, etc). Format cache, data, system & internal sd card in CWM. Flash stock rom in Odin, CFRoot to get CWM, flash rom/kernel of your choice. Then clean install your apps from Google Play/wherever you got them from (preferable) & restore calendar/contacts from Google, & restore call/sms log with whatever app you used to back them up (provided this app only backs up/restores the logs/sms themselves & not the apk like some of these apps do). You could also restore your apps with Ti (not system apps) but if you do, don't restore data.
That will give you a clean start.

can I transfer the CWM backup to PC , then transfer it again to SD card after installing ROM, and restore the CWM backup ?
btw I have two CWM backups and I'm unable to restore one of them ,.it stock on " checking MD5 sums" for a while then phone boots without restoring anything
Of course you can. But what's the point of doing a clean install if you're going to restore a Nandroid which is a copy of your setup at the time you took the backup ? Kinda defeats the purpose. If you're having problems which you think are as a result of having a lot of crap on your phone; easy to happen if you haven't done a wipe for a while/have flashed a lot, if you restore a Nandroid you're going to have the same problems.
Personally, I do the steps I suggested every 4-6 weeks (instead of flashing stock after I wipe everything I normally flash CM9 Resurrection via Odin & go from there). I find it's an hour or two well spent. Phone runs much better after.
Up to you which way you want to go tho.

Just a quick question for you guys. I have been using my Nexus 10 for a while now, but just recently got into all the "custom ROM" stuff. I wanted to know, that if I just backup my Apps + User Data, then flash a custom ROM, then restore those Apps + Data, will it work? Also, will it mess up the ROM anyway? Thanks a ton.
As long as you don't restore any system data (anything in red) you should be okay.
Also don't forget to make a nandroid backup before flashing a new rom.
One more thing, if any of your apps can backup their own data I'd create a backup that way too. Just in case.
every will be ok
Hey, everytime I want to flash a new ROM or even new version of the same ROM,
I like to clear everything beforehand and factory reset my device.
The issue is everytime I do that I have to download all my apps again and configure the device all over again (apps & phone settings) .
I need some guide about backing up the maximum data possible (settings and applications) while still keeping the new flash as clean as possible.
I own Titanium paid version.
Thanks a lot!
if u have titanium backup than all you need to do is backup all your user apps + data. then when flashing a new rom you can rather manually wipe the phone through recovery. in twrp you can go to wipe and then advanced wipe and choose Cache,Dalvik,Data and System..DONOT choose internel storage else youll wipe everything even ur media and backups.
in titanium you can create titanium backup as a zip file for you to flash, so create that.after flashing a new rom flash the titanium backup as well, so as soon as your phone is up and running you can go straight to titanium backup batch actions and restore all user apps and data. you wouldnt need to download your apps again.
hope it makes sense and helps
Hi friends, i change the rom everyweek. Everytime i change the rom, i started the rom as new. I can backup apps and restore it. But how can i restore all of my data.
