Save program and settings?

Hello guys, my phone is rooted, and running "stuck" HTC firmware. If I want to try opendesire or some other image, is there a way to backup my phone, including installed apps, then re-flash and restore data?

Yes, make a nandroid backup on recovery mode..

Will that not backup my whole system? When I restore it will install old image?

[Q][Problem] Can only flash aosp roms

Hi guys. My phone is s-off with stock partitions. I can flash aosp roms but when i try to flash sense roms my desire gives an error like tcpdump, xbin vs. If i exec ruu i can boot only with fastboot oem boot otherwise it stuck on 4 triangles screen. What can i do? Thanks already.

Have you changed your system partitions? Revert back to Sense partitions. N1's or Oxygens are to small to get Sense to fit in there

Yes i revert to stock partitions.

A bit redundant but you need bravo stock layout and not bravo sense.

Yes i reverted to stock (250 mb /system) .. Cleared cache. But same. Tried for 3 times.

When you flash an aosp rom with stock partitions, how much of free space does it give you after a fresh install without installing any apps?
( go with me on this). You might have bad blocks on system partition and sense rom might not be able to overlap them while writting.

That sounds logical. Is there any other (more reliable) way to find out if system partition was damaged?

It surely is from adb. But cannot recall ob how. Maybe a quick search in forum. Sorry that i cannot help more but im on mobile app.

Flash a recovery and partition your SD card. 4ext is the best one out there.

Thanks for reply I have flashed recovery with 4ext recovery but haven't partitioned SD card yet would I need to for mildwild 5.8?? Cheers

Pretty much for every ROM.
Make 1gb ext3/4 partition with 4ext recovery and you're set.

Some roms require special hboot.

Will making a partition wipe the SD card using 4ext?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

Yes, partitioning does destroy all your data.

Ok so I need to back up SD card to my netbook and then create 1 partition using 4ext and then just put all my data back on sdcard?? Am I right?? And the size of the partition 1gb??? Cheers

Right. Partition can be 1-1.5GB ext4 and rest fat32. Skip all other secondary partitions.

Not necessarily. You can use something like gparted on Linux (or Partition Magic on Windows) to resize your FAT32 partition non-destructively.

Error While making nandroid back up

Hey everyone,
I need a Solution to my problem I have. When I make a nandroid backup everything backs up okay except when it gets to backing up sd-ext it says 'Error while backing up image of sd-ext'. I know its not a memory problem as I have 1.9 gb available and still have 1.2 left after the backup with an error. I have made backups with cwm before but this is the first time I have ran into this problem. Please could someone help me?

Do you have an SD Ext? If not it will give this error but backup will complete successfully. Its normal.

Yes I do as I have some apps linked to SD card

You probably can't. On windows there is a program called recuva. You can try bit but since it was a partition formatting i doubt you will get anywhere... Sorry pal

If you have a way of mounting it to your computer you can probably recover most data. Some may be corrupted or there may be issues where you've already overwritten it so it won't be 100%.
But this app is the one I use for all my data recovery at work: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
