What is the best method to create a backup (recovery) if I have root with Gldcard and gfree?
Before I had 1.82 now I am just after rooting and have 1.34. Is it possible to come back to 1.82? I haven't done any backup for my branded 1.82, cause it wasn't clear stated it is necessary and still don't know if it is. It would also worth for me to have even 1.82.
If you're rooted, you should be using ROM manager in the market along with ClockworkMod Recovery to make a "nandroid" backup.
In ROM manager, scroll down to "Backup Current ROM" and give it a name so you can refer to it later, and hit ok. It will reboot into CWM and make the recovery. You can then restore from this backup via ROM manager or Recovery later.
If you don't have any backups from before you wiped, downgraded to 1.34, and rooted, then the only way to get that back and make a backup would be to flash a rooted version of the stock 1.82 ROM (not sure if this is out there, not familiar with the DZ) and then set it up and make a backup with ROM manager.
It is good practice to make a nandroid backup before you change anything substantial on your phone, so its always possible to recover your phone to the way it was before you messed with stuff, and even if your phone doesn't boot, you just need to get into recovery to get back to your old ROM.

You're pretty out of luck unless someone in the dev forum has posted a rooted version of the Era Stock ROM.
Your other option for something similar would to check out one of the stock generic Sense-based ROMs.

Hey guys,
I've got the latest update OTA ready to install, but since my device is rooted I'm wondering what do I do?
I've read threads stating to just update and re root it and others say it won't go through and I'd have to disable signatures in clockwork recovery !
hence I'm confused, please help
Cheers
Jackie
Its not safe to perform official ota updates on rooted devices.
Most of the time nothing happens, you just lose root. But anything could happen from losing your custom recovery to a non booting device, which is known to happen.
If you want updated software on your phone install a custom rom.

same situation, my question is can i apply this RUU from PC, and what will happen exactly? Lose root, data?
i found this RUU RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
you can apply that RUU but you will lose root and all of your data so back everything up beforehand.
you may also need a Goldcard depending on whether your phone was unbranded from new or not.

I know about the Goldcard. Any idea on how to do a backup, i have read about using Titanium but i found it confusing. Little help would be useful
yeah, just use Titanium and back up all user apps as a batch process.
Backuo/Restore at the top of the initial screen.
Menu button and choose Batch
Then Backup all user apps.
you can then restore them after you've flashed the RUU.
also, make sure your contacts are backed up (probably by Google / Gmail).

OK, but there is an option all apps and data. what is data? is it app data?
Just back up user apps.
You don't want to restore any system data as you are changing roms.
Also, make sure you do a nand backup to go back to if needed.

So there is still no way to just update by update.zip?
I dont want to reflash my whole phone, I got everything backed up propper
but I find it crap because its just a very small update.
Just ignore the update then, if your phone is working fine

hmm an official update from htc, great. but if you are rooted and have tried a custom rom or even many such as me, then you dont want to loose that ability to flash great custom roms, just because htc released an update.
i am not sure, but i think that some users just unrevoked (rooted) their devices, but havent installed any custom roms and dont have the joy of it. i never want go to back to original rom. my future updates would be out of a custom rom. great forum here, love it
I just use the stock rom because i'm happy with it.
I rooted my phone because some apps wont work without it. I would try a custom rom but I still remember my HD2 and all the reconfigging I had to do.
Can you flash custom roms without reconfiguring everything?
Like.. when I flashed the last update.zip (405.2) I just installed it and I could start using my phone right away after the update. thats how I like it, but im not sure (more unsure) that this will work the same when I use a custom rom right?

so you installed the latest update.zip on a rooted device? and did not loose your root functionality?
I'm willing to reroot my phone, I just wanna know if a rooted device when update could mess up !?
I wanna try custom ROMs sadly I can't due to the rebooting issue, will be sending in for repair soon this week !

Rooting your device voids your warranty just as much as flashing a custom rom would. Either way would have to use the stock ruu before you send if back so it makes no difference if your stock rooted or have a custom rom.

Hey every. Sorry if this question is already answered and it is a repost. How can i uninstall Cyanogenmod 7 RC2 from my Incredible, but still keep it rooted? Would the same way work for other ROMs as well, or does each ROM have a different way to remove them? Thank you in advance for your help.
If you made a backup then you can easily restore.
If you didn't, then you can flash the stock incredible ROM.
You will continue to stay rooted unless you take additional steps to unroot your phone.
Also I think you may have a misconception of how the ROM's work. These aren't installed on top of your phone, they remove the old one and replace it with whatever ROM you flash. Of course as long as you made a backup before you flashed then how your phone was before the flash will be right there if you ever choose to restore.
I did backup before I installed the Cyanogenmod 7. How do i 'recover'? Also, if i were to flash, would this take me back to being unrooted?
The way I understood it you can use ROM manager to load the Nandroid you created before flashing CM7, bringing back all your settings/text/calls etc you had before flashing your new rom. I've yet to attempt to go back to stock so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
You'll keep root unless to take the steps to go from s-off to s-on, and flash the stock RUU. Restoring a nandroid will restore the backup to the exact point the backup was made, so make regular backups!
Searched and cannot find themost current stock incredible ROM, any help?

Haven't flashed it yet, but this is the first of many that link actually was live. Thank you.
Ok. So i havent done anything because I am extremely busy, but now i have some time to get this done. As it is, I'm going to have to unroot my phone, putting it back to stock. How do i do this so that the s-off goes to s-on, and make sure everything is done properly? Thx for all your help
pretty sure you just flash the stock ruu and then run the unrevoked s-on tool.
i would run a factory reset before running the ruu and then again after just to make sure you are totally bone stock.
Should I use Rom manager to flash or use something else? Sorry for all the questions, just want to do this without problems.

If you made a backup power off the phone and reboot it into recovery. Go to the "Back Up and Restore" Tab and then restore. Choose the date and you are back.

Ok ..and for me to be able to get to the last rom?(to update to 2.3.x.x)(OTA) Must I have s-on and eng-on in order to see the updates? or not?
Sorry but I have to ask, it is understandable if you want to revert back to stock if you are claiming for the warranty fix, but why do you want to get the OTA update when the modded rom here is far superior (IMO)
Hm,I think I just want to feel the real rom......... and btw do you know a way for install multiple apk at same time(all of them are games...should i .rar them and then flash or how?)
The quickest way is by backuping and restoring through google. Immediately after flashing, it will automatically download all your apps. Personally, I enjoy installing and tweaking manually the apps one by one.
Another way is of course via Titanium Backup Pro. You can do Batch backup and restore. It's a paid apps by the way.
Installing via CWM... never heard that it's possible

Then install a rooted version of the "real ROM". It is IDENTICAL except no branding (is that what youwant?) and it's rooted.

You can't just bundle them in a rar no.
As mentioned above, you will need to use Google backup or an application like Titanium to back them up. Both methods will perform an auto restore. Please note that this means they will DOWNLOAD all the apps again.
off that's too bad I would have been so pleased if there was a way...
You still don't have to do anything, the Google backup / 3rd party backup apps do it all for you. And even if you could, depending on how old the backup was you could still end up having many apps needing an update.
It really isn't a big deal and I can't see how it would be any easier.
I downloaded a pack of games from a torrent site...and i wanted to install them all at once....they are all apk's......and to do it manually takes a while..
I just remember... there's a utility called ROM cleaner. Last time I checked there's an option to add apk into the rom itself (experimental). So once you flash your rom, technically all the apk is there.
Just a caution, I didn't follow the utility thread, there's a good chance that it is not compatible with the new gingerbread.
Hi,
is there any way to backup appdata on a HTC Desire HD with the latest official ROM with Sense 3 before rooting and flashing a new ROM?
The AATK needs to downgrade for root. So I need a method without root or a (temp)root method that doesn't requirere a full wipe.
The Threads I found about this topic a so old, that i hope there are some new methods.

What you can do is to unlock the bootloader, flash CWM, do a nandroid, then relock and run the Hack Kit. I guess that that is your best choice and safest to have a working backup. :fingers-crossed:

You can use titanium backup, but you need root to do that....apps data needs root access. I have never extracted a nandroid but it might be possible...not sure thou.
Not sure, but I think newer TB can restore from nandroid, so that's your best bet... However be aware that you can't restore sense apps on an AOSP rom, not even sure for different versions of sense...

Am i missing something here? I am under the impression that the only way to make a nandroid is with a custom recovery installed?
46 views and no replies...helpful
Answer. As far as i see yes you need a custom recovery unless you know how to pull out the current rom and make it into a kdz or other recovery format. Dont ask me how to do it cause i do t know. If u mess up your phone. Kdz s the only thing u have unless u really bricked ur phone
The app "Online Nandroid" coupled with its partner app "Nandroid Manager" works. It's not the same as a nandroid via a custom recovery however. If something goes wrong you'll still have to use a kdz or tot method to get things fixed but once you're up and running again these apps will restore your entire system. I can confirm it works as I have used it.

No, it's stock B13 that was flashed to rooted stock B13, then XPOSED framework installed by Flashfire v .24. This is verizon. There is no custom recovery option, nor is there an unlocked bootloader. You said, "If something goes wrong you'll still have to use a kdz or tot method to get things fixed but once you're up and running again these apps will restore your entire system. I can confirm it works as I have used it.."
By "entire system", do you mean you can flash your backup over the stock unrooted KDZ?

No. You have to have root first. Then you can restore everything as you had it.
