Hi guys.. I have a 2GB sd.. soon, i will buy 8gb sd, then gonna format it to fat. if i transfer all my files from 2gb sd to 8gb sd, does it will become okay? and does my installed applications will work properly? or im gonna factory reset it?
Note: You have only 1 day to answer my question.. hope you will
It should. Just copy paste everything (all app files must be there) to your new SD and it should be the same as before.

just open your comp.
1. copy everything on the sd.
2. then inssert the new sd on your device and format it
3. **formaatting on comps will not guarantee the stability so do it on your phone
4. then just copy everything from the old to the new one.
**EVEN if you had apps on the SD card, it will still be transferred.
most apps installed on the sd are located @ mount/sdcard/data/<here> or mount/sdcard/Android/data/<here>
Tnx to all of you.

How to create nandroid back up?
Sent from my GT-S5360
download the link which i hav posted earlier then it to copy to sd not in any folder
power off your phone
1. reboot in recovery by powering down, then
power back on holding vol up, vol down, and
power at the same time. This will boot you into
stock recovery.
2. using volume down, highlight 'apply
sdcard:update.zip' and select by using the menu
button (or where it would be).
3. you should now be in cwm recovery. Depending
on which one you are using, the text will either be
red or cyan in color. highlight 'backup/restore'
using volume keys and select with POWER button.
4. select backup
The back up will start, and will take around 5-10
minutes to complete (depending on how much
stuff you have in /data)
5. Once it is done, it will go back to the main cwm
menu. Select 'reboot phone now' with power
button.
now your backup is copied to clockworkmod folder in sd
take care about minimum space free is 500mb either it shouldnt complete
do same in restore at last highlight restore then it should take time
hey press thanks

nice 1.. up
nice. last question.. do the data of apps installed in sd card must be on sd card or it is included in recovery?, and any1 found any bug of doin' this?
please answer. then this will be closed
Ok. Here's my question.
I've already created back up on skin 1980. Soon. I will change my rom. If i don't like the rom, i will restore the nandroid backup. Should the data of the apps installed in my sd card and backed up on my nandroid backup must be on sd card?
Sent from my GT-S5360
Pls take rest of the questions to the FAQ thread... I have already allowed this thread for sometime now.

Ok....from what I can piece together these are the steps necessary to Root...Put the normal recovery back on....apply the OTA...and then put Clockwork back on. Please correct if I'm wrong (by all means..I want confirmation of this before I do it) (big thanks to k.electron from whom I copied / pasted most of this)
New Edit:
This process is for people with a fully stock phone who want to apply the stock 2.2 update and maintain root.
I just went through this process.
(sd card must be formatted to fat32. without that most of this will fail.)
Step 1 - ROOT 2.1.22.605.2: do this -> http://unrevoked.com/recovery/
(this will root your phone and flash clockworkmod recovery.)
Step 2 - S-OFF: do this -> http://unrevoked.com/forever/
(this will use clockworkmod recovery to permanently unlock the nand, also known as s-off.)
-- To backup apps that you want after the phone is fully updated at this point download titanium backup and backup whatever apps u need. make sure u take the backup folder from the sd card and store it on ur pc for later use.
Step 3 - PUT STOCK RECOVERY BACK: do this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756850
(put into sd card and hboot apply [to enter hboot turn off phone then hold vol down and power till hboot appears])
(this will restore the recovery back to stock as it is needed for the RUU)
now u have an s-off phone with everything else stock.
Step 4 - APPLY OTA: Grab this file: http://android.clients.google.com/p...on_WWE_3.21.605.1_1.22.605.2_release_sign.zip
rename it to UPDATE.ZIP
-Drop the update.zip provided at the bottom of the page on to the Root of your SD card.
- Turn your phone off.
- Press and hold the Volume Down and Power at the same time to boot into HBOOT.
-
When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
- Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
- When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
- Using the volume button, scroll down to “apply sdcard:update.zip” and select it.
-Your phone should update now, but it will take some time
Step 5: get recovery here http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP
put in sd card and hboot apply
(this will load clockworkmod recovery on your phone so that u can apply updates.)
Step 6: put in sd card -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=388592&d=1282834695
and
http://bit.ly/su234ef
and use recovery to install both those zips.
(clockworkmod recovery allows u to apply .zip files, use that option to do this.)
(this will re-root the newly updated phone and install the superuser.apk.)
congratulations now u have an OTA 2.2 phone with root.
-- If you had titanium backups you want to restore, paste the folder u saved on the desktop back here, re-install titanium from the market and restore apps. It is recommended to redownload the app from the market and just restore the data for the app if possible.
Note: Titanium is probably going to tell u that it couldnt get root. that is because busybox is missing. hit the problems button on titanium and upgrade busybox. this will upgrade busybox if ur using an older version, or download the right version if u dont have one. this should take care of all busybox needs.
notes:
* to enter hboot turn off phone then hold vol down and power till hboot appears.
* to enter recovery, enter hboot and select recovery.
* to check if nand is unlocked, hboot must read S-OFF
* you only need stock recovery to load the RUU, so if you have flashed a different rom, simply revert to the stock recovery and apply the RUU
* all links are property of their original creators, thanks to all of them.
And remember....as has been said before. Make love multiple times during the process.
I followed these exact steps this morning and it worked beautifully. Not a single problem and I've got Froyo running with all the littly rooty extras.
how do i get root after OTA? didn't have it before
This might be a stupid question, but I don't want root. Just a good clean update.
So just doing the Google update, will that root me also or not?
ive added some stuff to make it clearer if u want to copy that over.
I'm having problems with step 5. I downloaded PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of my sd card. However when I try to apply it in hboot nothing happens, it seems to not recognize it is there or I am missing something else. It is definitely on the sd card, not sure why it wont install the recovery though. Any help would be appreciated.

Extract the img file from the zip and place it in the root of the sdcard. Hboot should detect it automatically.

I just ran into that same problem. My sd card was formatted as FAT16. Once I formatted it to FAT32 it worked great.
thanks a bunch...thought it was formatted in fat32 but i guess i was wrong. works perfect now
Kinda noob question but can someone post screens on how to backup and restore a nadroid backup??
Thanks
Title meant to say: Backup not back
If you're not rooted then you can't do a Nandroid. When you use a custom recovery image like Clockwork Mod you have the option to do a backup (refered to as a 'Nandroid').
yea i know i am planning on rooting tonight just want to know how just incase anything goes wrong
Ah right!!
Once you've run unrEVOked it will install Clockwork Mod as your recovery image. In there is the backup and restore menu which is where you perform a 'nandroid'. It basically copies your system onto your SD card so you can revert back to it should a new ROM flash go wrong/not be to your liking...it's easy really!
Getting to Clockwork Mod is the same as getting into normal recovery - turn the phone on whilst holding down the volume down button, select 'Recovery' from the menu and there you go!
Or after getting clockwork mod on your phone you cab download an app called Rom manager this has a menu with options one is back up or restore your Rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks, got another question, i would like to flash opendesire how would i now go about doing this ?? i am rooted now
Boot into Clockwork Mod, select 'install update from SD card' and choose to select from the SD card and select the OpenDesire ZIP file. You'll also have flash a radio that's compatible with the ROM (which is done the same way)
do i need to wipe data/factory reset??
Thanks
I'd say yes as you're going from a Sense ROM to non-Sense - better to be safe than sorry
and do i now click apply sdcard:update.zip or install zip from sdcard
Thanks!
Install zip from sdcard.
Highlight and select the zip containing whatever you want to flash (the ROM or the Radio)
I did do this a while back...

WoW!! All done now on OpenDesire Thanks guys When i partition my SD card to ext or whatever, does the cache and stuff go to my SD card automatically?
Thanks
i have read most of the threads and even though they make sense my phone is is worse then before i rooted it..somehow my contacts saved to my sd card but not my apps (they have folders but no info) plus somehow i got 40 phone #s once i booted up cm6... i know its crazy...the rom mangager fc a lot...and my backup on the computer is only contacts and pics for sum reason also i treid transferring the PC36IMG which shows up in the files but doesnt respond...this is not fun ...plsease help
I'm confused a little by your post. Why not just restore from your nandroid backup? Or flash a different rom?
Are you saying that Titanium Backup failed to restore your apps? Cyanogenmod is not Sense, which came with your phone. TB cannot restore apps from Sense.
If you want Sense, use a Sense ROM like Myn's... or Sprint Lovers if you like stock.

Make sure you are rooted with S-OFF displayed in the bootloader. To do this, turn off your EVO. Now press the down volume button while also pressing the power button until your device starts. You will enter the bootloader screen. You should see either S-ON or S-OFF at the top. If it is S-ON, you need to re-root your device. if it is S-ON, you *should* be good to go. I suggest you start over and follow the below instructions to the letter.
I would redo EVERYTHING from scratch. EVERYTHING meaning the following:
1. Copy the contents of your SD card and place them on your PC/Mac or independent external hard drive.
2. (DISREGARD) Format and re-partition your SD card (Disregard)
3. Place only a newly downloaded rom zip that you plan to flash, amon RA recovery (zip or img), Radio, Wimax, PRI & NV updates on the root of your SD card. The files can be downloaded from the links below:
Odexed Stock Rom -- http://goo.gl/uFdtB
amon RA -- http://goo.gl/cgh5e
Radio Update -- http://goo.gl/PmfKu
PRI Update -- http://goo.gl/A3NE3
NV Update -- http://goo.gl/h8JYf
WiMax Update -- http://goo.gl/qFwCt
4. Shut down your EVO and then press & hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. When your EVO starts, you will be directed to the Hboot screen where amon RA zip file will be automatically detected and you will be prompted to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery.
5. Go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card.
6. Go to the FLASH menu and flash rom but DO NOT REBOOT!
7. Flash the Radio update. You will see a screen with a device & green arrows. Be patient because you will appear to stall. BE PATIENT and DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!!After some time has passed, you will automatically be reboot into the recovery screen.
8. Flash the PRI. What I stated in #7 applies here, as well
9. Flash the NV. What I stated in #7 applies here, too.
10. Flash the WiMax. #7 applies here also.
11. Reboot. you WILL APPEAR TO HANG at the white HTC screen. Do not be alarmed. Be patient and DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY. After some time has passed, you will then see the rom's splash screen and appear to hang and afterwards, you will see your home screen.
12. After you've signed in with your Google credentials, go to menu-settings-System Updates and then select Update profile.
You should be good to go afterwards. Enjoy!...

Sorry for the absence. I had errands to run. Anyway, displaying S-OFF is a good thing. Now let's see if you can get into recovery. You mentioned Unrevoked, so I'm assuming Clockworkmod is your recovery. You also mentioned that you can't pull anything off the card. Can you get into recovery? If so, there should be a mount menu or MS-USB or something to that effect. Select it and your computer *should* recognize your SD Card. Give it a try.

No. Can you boot into either recovery or your homescreen? If so, you *should* be able to mount and format your SD card using your EVO 4G.

It is possible. I'm not a fan of ROM Manager. It is far too easy to do it manually from within recovery. Menu with the hat? I'm assuming that's Clockworkmod recovery. I highly recommend that you flash amon RA recovery. It'll only take mere seconds to flash and it will not interfere with your system. Try this...Turn off your device and take out the SD card briefly and then reinsert it. Boot up all the way to your homescreen. Afterwards, go to your file manager and see if you can see the contents of your card. If so, that is a good thing.
Posting & replying via the XDA Premium app
ive tried that 3 times and i got nothing...
I really recommend that you start over from scratch.
1. Flash amon RA recovery v2.3
2. After the recovery has been flashed, reboot into recovery, go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING including the SD card.
3. Attach the device to your computer via USB, then from within recovery, go to the MS-USB menu and select it. A drive should appear on your computer's desktop or explorer window.
4. Copy the rom zip file you used to install the rom you were using to the SD card.
5. If you were using CyanogenMod, also copy the latest gapps zip to the SD card.
6. Unmount the SD card first from your computer and then from within recovery by clicking the power button on your device.
7. Go into the Flash menu and flash the rom. Do not reboot afterwards if you're going to also flash the gapps zip.
8. Aftervyoure done flashing your rom and gapps, if necessary, reboot your device.

It is possible thar your SD card is fried. Do you have a spare? Do you have a card reader or another device capable of reading the card? Anyway, if you deem the card to be ruined then purchase another one and then start over with a fresh install per the instructions from my recent reply.
Anyway, I've gotta go. I'll check back on you a little later.

Nandroid is a form of backup that backs up all your system files, applications and their data. It does not, however, backup your kernel. Making a Nandroid backup is really easy. All you have to do is follow the steps given below:
Disclaimer: As Nandroid backs up only system data, if you change the kernel or brick(brick means mess up) your phone while doing backup, I or XDA aren't responsible for whatever happens.
Required-
A Samsung Galaxy Y
Procedure:
Ensure you have at least more than 70% battery as a precaution.
Also ensure that you have at least 700 mb of free space on your SD Card (my backup took 600 mb of space).
1. Download ClockWorkMod from here - View attachment cwm.zip and put into the SD card (not in any folder).
2. Switch off the phone.
3. Reboot to recovery mode by pressing Power + Volume Up + Home buttons.
4. Now there is no touchscreen, so navigate by pressing Volume Up And Volume Down and Home button for selection.
5. Select 'Update from SD card'.
6. select the 'cwm.zip'.
7. Select it.
8. Now, in the CWM menu, there i an option 'Backup and Restore'
9. In that menu, select 'Backup'.
10. There it is! Your Nandroid backup has started!
Now sit back and wait for 5 mins for your system to backup...
11. Now select the 'Reboot now ' option from the menu...
Now you have a Nandroid backup! You can check it by using a file manager and going to /mnt/SD Card/clockworkmod. there you'll find a folder with name of Some date and time. In that the backup resides.
Supposing you want to restore the backup as you have done a wrong tweak, then:
Procedure:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Flash the 'cwm.zip' ( flash means select that file and 'install the update from SD card').
3. Select 'Backup and Restore'.
4. Then select 'restore' from the menu.
5. It will either show a list where you must choose your backup.
That's it! You have got your old mobile back (in a sense)!
Or maybe you want your Data back after you flash your new ROM:
Procedure:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Flash 'cwm.zip'
3. Select 'Backup and Restore'.
4. Then select 'Advanced Restore' from the menu.
5. There are many new options now. Select 'Restore Data'
6. After the Restoration, reboot the phone.
7. Switch off the phone.
8. Recharge it to atleast 80%.
Now you got all your data in your new ROM. Cool ,isn't it?

First of all,
You don't need to be rooted to do a cwm backup.
You should never try to restore a complete backup done using xyz kernel on the other kernel. Instead from advanced restore, restore system and data. Don't attempt to restore boot since it is brocken on cwm for sgy.

You seem to be a "backupwizard" so here goes
I did a back-up but while restoring user dict. & texts works, restoring apps doesn't (it fails with the message "backup doesn't contain app information"), but the backup is 800+ MB and all MD5 checks out.
Boot Loop
.... and what if i got a boot lopp could i restore my old rom from that backup ?
G*ddamnit! fot the third time while md5 checks out, app says "no data in back-up"! Besides anything other than Titanium that does back-ups?
what does it mean ?
"Don't attempt to
restore boot since it is brocken on
cwm for sgy"...
what does it mean ????

Try restoring the stock ROM using Nandroid IF you have the same kernel. Micromax isnt that famous and I dont use it so I dont know much.

You seem to be a "backupwizard" so here goes
I did a back-up but while restoring user dict. & texts works, restoring apps doesn't (it fails with the message "backup doesn't contain app information"), but the backup is 800+ MB and all MD5 checks out.

oow, that's why
I used TB yes, but that doesn't work on user dictionary or texts(reason unknown), I figured out that it dóes work with "online nadrid backup", so I've been using that
WARNING!
Make sure you have at least 500MB free on your SDCARD or the Nandroid backup will fail... Just like to pass the warning on as I have only just realised myself. Sorry if it is already mentioned
radio not working in nandroid backup

Nandroid is a form of backup that backs up all your system files, applications and their data. It does not, however, backup your kernel. Making a Nandroid backup is really easy. All you have to do is follow the steps given below:
Disclaimer: As Nandroid backs up only system data, if you change the kernel or brick(brick means mess up) your phone while doing backup, I or XDA aren't responsible for whatever happens.
Required-
A Samsung Galaxy Y
Procedure:
Ensure you have at least more than 70% battery as a precaution.
Also ensure that you have at least 700 mb of free space on your SD Card (my backup took 600 mb of space).
1. Download ClockWorkMod from here - View attachment 1926772 and put into the SD card (not in any folder).
2. Switch off the phone.
3. Reboot to recovery mode by pressing Power + Volume Up + Home buttons.
4. Now there is no touchscreen, so navigate by pressing Volume Up And Volume Down and Home button for selection.
5. Select 'Update from SD card'.
6. select the 'cwm.zip'.
7. Select it.
8. Now, in the CWM menu, there i an option 'Backup and Restore'
9. In that menu, select 'Backup'.
10. There it is! Your Nandroid backup has started!
Now sit back and wait for 5 mins for your system to backup...
11. Now select the 'Reboot now ' option from the menu...
Now you have a Nandroid backup! You can check it by using a file manager and going to /mnt/SD Card/clockworkmod. there you'll find a folder with name of Some date and time. In that the backup resides.
Supposing you want to restore the backup as you have done a wrong tweak, then:
Procedure:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Flash the 'cwm.zip' ( flash means select that file and 'install the update from SD card').
3. Select 'Backup and Restore'.
4. Then select 'restore' from the menu.
5. It will either show a list where you must choose your backup.
That's it! You have got your old mobile back (in a sense)!
Or maybe you want your Data back after you flash your new ROM:
Procedure:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Flash 'cwm.zip'
3. Select 'Backup and Restore'.
4. Then select 'Advanced Restore' from the menu.
5. There are many new options now. Select 'Restore Data'
6. After the Restoration, reboot the phone.
7. Switch off the phone.
8. Recharge it to atleast 80%.
Now you got all your data in your new ROM. Cool ,isn't it?

Hi,
My two year old son smashed my screen on my Arc . The screen is unresponsive. Is there anyway to get my contacts off the phone?
All my contacts are stored locally on the phone with no backup to gmail. My phone is rooted if it helps.
Thanks

You can make a CWM Backup in Recovery:
Go in Recovery
Navigate with power buttons to backup and restore
Apply it by pressing homebutton.
Then go to backup , apply it with the homebutton.
It starts to make a full backup , needs some time.
After that , your backup is stored at your interal sdcard in a folder named "clockworkmod" , the file is quite big as it is a full backup.
To pull it off , go to Mounts and Storage , choose "Mount USB Storage" and connect your phone to PC and take your backup.
