[Q] Is root required to do a Nandroid backup?

n00b question alert!!
I pretty sure you need root to do Nandroid via clockwork but wanted to double check.
The reason I ask is that I wasn't rooted and tried to do backup and it failed on backing up /data. When I tried the second time it failed on backing up /boot_image
After it wouldn't boot so I flashed stock ROM using Mark's tool, I am now rooted and have clockwork but don't want to try again cause I can't be bothered to (re) re-set-up my phone
Any help would be appreciated

Rooted and flashing are two different things.
Rooting is a pre requisite to do everything else.
After being rooted, you need to flash Clockwork Recovery (via ROM Manager, fastboot). I'd recommend flashing the Clockwork Recovery Touch Enabled as it's pretty cool, it's being updated continually so make sure you get the latest version and check back.
When you're in Clockwork, do a nandroid backup in there.

Yes it should. Boot into recovery. Go to advance, then to backup. Viola. Nandroid.

Yes that is correct. After installing clockwork mod,
1. wipe factory, cache, dalvik
2. flash ROM
3. flash kernel [if you choose to]
4. reboot

Thanks! for the help bro =)

You're welcome. Happy flashing!
And if you ever need to update the ROM (same ROM, new version)
1. Clockwork Recovery
2. Wipe Cache and Dalvik (Optional.. but I do it just incase) -- DO NOT WIPE FACTORY
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash kernel (if you already did as the ROM will override your kernel with the one supplied in the ROM)
If you're changing ROMs (one ROM to a new ROM by another person) .... do the same steps, but wipe factory too.

sounds good!
also when they meant to put the ROM in the virtual SD card.
that would be the folder under DCIM?

Yes that is correct. The Galaxy Nexus does not support "external sdcard" thie phone itself has a "internal sdcard" with internal storage of 16GB/32GB (depending on what model you have).
It's the same as any other Android phone, its just the sdcard is irremovable. That's all, just put the contents in /sdcard/ (you can put it anywhere you want really... its just having it in/sdcard/ makes it easier to locate... if you wish to put it in another folder then when in Clockwork Recovery, press install zip from sdcard and go into that folder and then select the .zip)

Hehe, glad to see you being risky and doing it all it's really not that complicated. It's just a matter of listening to instructions.
I'd highly recommend a app like Titanium Backup (get the Pro version). It will backup and restore all of your apps within one-click.
This is a necessity when changing ROMs. Saves all of your apps and data so there will be less work when you change ROMs.

You do NOT need to root your ROM to do a nandroid backup. Assuming you have CWM installed, a nandroid backup will work. Rooting your ROM has NOTHING to do with installing/using a custom recovery like CWM...

interesting that would be a good program to look for. i have another one which restores all of my SMS backup.

I don't believe you have to be rooted, just to make a nandroid backup in fact I know this for sure because I did it, you do however have to have your boot loader unlocked.
What I did was the following:
1. Download CWM Image.
2. Restart into fastboot mode
3. fastboot boot cwm-xxxx.img
4. Nandroid backup
5. To restore follow the same process.

so im just wondering once you have rooted the galaxy nexus, does it have an app for software? sort of like Cydia for Jailbreaking the iphone?

No. There is no need. You can side-load apps on any Android device, even without root. Root is only required on a Nexus to use specific apps that require it.

[Q] Install a custom ROM - How to?

Hi, guys and girls.
I know this question sounds stupid, and someone might say: "Duuuh, use the seach-function!" - Well, I have, but as a new member it's pretty hard finding the things that I need when there's so many sections and such.
Now for my question:
At Christmas I recieved a Samsung Galaxy Gio. The phone is cool, and I like it a lot. However, I do wanna use a custom ROM. Can anybody tell me (step by step, please) how to do so? I have read the "Big thread For New Users", but somehow I managed to get lost in all of the fine new words.
I have done it before on my HTC Touch Diamond, (but I dropped it and now it won't start again) but I really can't figure out how to do so this time - and it would be sad to ruin my new phone by doing stuff I don't know anything about.
So, could anybody please be nice and tell me how to install a custom ROM? And please keep in mind that I'm a huuuuge newbie
I'm using Android 2.3.6
Thanks in advice.
Dennis
P.S. Would I be able to "revert" everything back to how it is now? Is there a way to "unroot" (I know there is, just not how to), and can the default ROM from Samsung be found anywhere?

okay so first DON'T use Rom Manager because it bricks your gio.
if you want to flash a custom rom you need to flash clockwork recovery. after that download "ext4 formatter" and flash it with cwm recovery (install zip->choose zip). download a custom rom and flash it in the same way as "ext4 formatter". wipe data and restart your phone... (clockwork mod recovery, ext4 formatter and custom roms can be found in development section)
if you don't like all these custom roms you can install the stock rom by downloading a stock rom on sammmobile.com and flashing with odin.
Sorry for my bad englisch

You made it sound so easy
Please keep in mind that I'm at huuuge newb. I don't know what half of the words you mentioned means. Could you please explain it a little more detailed?
Thanks,
Dennis

You don't to be a delevoper if you want to flash your phone. It's really very easy if you read a few infos about this. One post above you have a list of things that you have to do but it's easy. You can do this in about 10 minutes. Very important is: you must know what you do. And do this ! Here you can view a lot of tutorials and links of roms, recorecys etc. :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623393

Ok, so I guess this is what I'm gonna do:
1. Doing a hard reset of my phone (wipe).
2. Root my Gio using this guide.
3. Downloading and flashing a custom ROM (I'm very unsecure on this step, please give a detailed "guide").
4. After flashing (is flashing the same thing as installing?), I start up my Gio and I'm gonna do a hard reset.
Is this the way to do it?

1. Not needed to do before flashing but it doesn't hurt either
2. No need for ROOT if you plan flashing a custom rom. 100% of custom roms have root pre-installed.
3. Download the file, put it on your SD card (do not put it in any folder, just on your sdcard), go into recovery mode, chose install zip from sdcard, navigate to the file, chose it, chose Yes and wait for it to finish, do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition from CWM and you're done!
4. Yes, start it up (it takes quite long time to boot it for the first time) and you may do the hard reset but i have never done it and my Gio is still working perfectly. And yes flashing and installing is basically the same thing.
P.S I know how you feel exactly atm. When i got my gio and learned about flashing custom roms and rooting, I was scared as well but now i have installed many roms and now it is like a normal thing for me. Have fun and DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!
Don't forget to click thanks if it helped

The first two steps are right. after that you are downloading the clockwork mod recovery (also called cwm) and the ext4 formatter from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650. now you are entering the stock recovery. turn off your phone and restart it but hold the power and home button at boot. now flash the cwm zip file (in the thread is all explained how to do). restart the phone and enter the cwm recovery by holding power and home button at boot. go to "install zip" -> "choose zip" and choose the ext4 formatter zip file. okay now wipe data. download a custom rom and install it in cwm like the other zip files. wipe again data. now restart your phone.
and tadaaa it should work
ps: if you are from Germany (i think so because of your name) you can write me a pn if you need help and i can explain it in German

Hi,
Thanks for both of the answers - However, there is something that I'm confused about now. Jyrx, you say that I don't need to root if it's a custom ROM, because custom ROMs already have done a root. But emyaz tells me that it should be done. Aren't most ROMs from xda custom? Fx. this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062676 (CyanogenMod 10.1 [BETA 2.5]) - is this a custom ROM? If it is, I don't need to ROOT, right?
emyaz, unfortunately no - I'm Danish, and I know very little German

Yes, like I said every custom rom has root. I think what emyaz thinks is that root is essential and if you don't install a custom rom you should root your phone. And your example has root and it doesn't need to be rooted.
EDIT: On XDA yes, there are basically only custom roms. If a rom isn't a custom rom or doesn't have a root then it is most certainly said in the topic.

You need to root your device before you start flashing roms. But is it nessesary to flash an ext4 formatter. I didn't do it. I do not have any problems. Where do you need it for?
Ardee - Sent from my Gio using xda premium app

Now I'm confused. One says that I don't need to flash, but others says that I need to.

I didn't root my phone before flashing roms. And I also haven't used ext4 formatter and it is working fine. So I don't know about that really.
---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
Well I think for safety, root it. If you don't probably nothing will happen but I'm not sure, but if you do then nothing bad will happen either.

Half of the people answering give the wrong answers.
- root
- install custom recovery
- backup
Flash ext4formatter (cleans all partitions and mounts as ext4, no wipes needed, only use this first time installing a rom or after using ODIN to restore to stock)
- install rom
-reboot
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app

what i mean was that you need to root your device to install the cwm recovery. so the first step is to root your device and then install cwm recovery. sorry if i confused you
all custom roms are rooted...

[Q] feventh ngserta

I rooted my T-Mobile galaxy note 2 yesterday following mskip video. Everything worked fine. My question is during the video it gives u the option if u wanna flash custom rom or just use the stock. I chose stock which was option 2 In hindsight I should have chose 3 to flash custom rom. Im not that experienced with rooting actually first time. But now I wanna like redo the whole process and choose option 3. Before I rooted I back my files up with astro. Once I rooted I backed everything up with titanium. Am I just stuck like this or what can I do. Please help. Thanks

I'm pretty sure you can flash custom rom. Just download custom recovery.

download rom manager and install cwm recovery. then download whatever rom you want put it on the root of your externalsd, boot into recovery wipr everything then install rom. Then READ AND FOLLOW OP INSTRUCTIONS. Should be all :good:

Both above are exactly correct..
But a custom rom replaces the Operating system that is on your Note .With one customized by the rom developer. This will prevent you from getting any Samsung updates. (except from community).
Check out the rom thread of the rom you are interested in. Look at post about any issues . What stock features work or do not work..
Also if you are under warranty. You void your warranty and will trip your flash counter. (CAN be fixed with triangle away).
I think you might should keep reading and get a better understanding before you go any further. We would really hate to see your next post..
HELP MY NOTE WILL NOT BOOT.
Good luck .. Read 3 times backup twice Flash once . and Be happy.

To be 100% sure when people say recovery they mean the programs like CWM or TeamWin and so on right ?
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
But the thing is that the problem is the installation process, it does not matter what ROM i use i get still the same error.
And for the Philz Touch could you copy the name of the link that i should download, they all look the same and way more links that i am used to.

The reason you can't install any rom is because you do not have the latest version of CWM installed. You should always install the newest version when you install any recovery.
The newer roms are using an updater-script that will not work on CWM 6.0.4.7. Install an updated recovery and then install the rom that you want.

To answer your question no yes maybe. Travel around through XDA and read/learn and you will understand.
as for philz i would try this one https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/philz_touch_6.44.9-lt02wifi.zip
in general find a recovery that works for you and stick with it until an update is actually called for.

If I were you, I would unroot and return to stock using ODIN first before I try anything else. If you need instructions, Google "unroot and return to stock using ODIN".

Without a backup, you will lose your data and files. But you can restore, since you can download the firmware from SamMobile.

Choose the one with "flashable" in the name and then flash it using your current CWM recovery; then reboot recovery.

If your worried about destroying your tab you prolly shouldn't have come to mod it.I know sounds like a douche bag thing to say but even putting on the flash or roms that go with the tab can destroy your tab if done improperly or even if they glitched while flash which does happen or even worse power outage when flashing.

Nono it is okey to say something like this, but the thing is i like to learn this stuff, took me about 3 days to learn how to flash a BIOS on a computer but when i got the hang of it i learned it.
I am scared of destroying the tablet but how else would i learn ? cause reading does not always help But i got it back up again. And i knew when to ask for help.
But the RocketTab looks to work well at least for know, but would love CM mod couse i have it on my S4 and when and with the RocketTab i only get android version 4.1.2
