Cwm and not rooting question

so im not really from around these parts but my girlfriend has this phone, and doesn't want root but would like to have a nandroid backup, is there any problems with odin'ing cwm and not flashing su, and just leaving the phone unrooted? or is that a horrible idea?
the phone is tmobile stock w/ the most recent ics update btw
also, sorry if this has been asked, i'm sorry.. but I looked around and didn't see this question posted anywhere, but
thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

My only question would be...why bother?
Edit: if it's for back up reasons, just backup to Google and she's all good.

Mostly for experimental purposes.. I've never had a phone that is so easy to flash a custom recovery without rooting.. but also because we want to backup more than just contacts and calendars..
I was just wondering if it's a bad idea to flash the recovery and not root the device

Can I Root My New SIII without using a computer?

I found a way to root using Odin that seems very simple although I am on a road trip and am playing with my new toy! I just bought it Thursday and came over from the OG Evo...R.I.P. So I hope there is a way because I would like to experiment with maybe new kernel as I do really like the stock ROM and I also want to get Titanium Backup running! Please Help if you have heard either way

I've been researching the process for awhile and I'm almost positive that you need a computer.

Thanks for the wallpaper!!!! Lol

He helped truth77 with the framwork-res while developing his ROM. Just passed his thread a moment ago and read it.
Thanks Dafoxs!

Basically was doing a restore after a full wipe. I noticed the restore went allot faster then normal. I figured it was because the new twrp update speeded it up some how. I didn't get a failed message. Umm, no. It was a bad backup. I went to hit restore again and instead did a reboot. The phone was stuck on the Samsung white screen. With wish and truth helping, we got the phone into download mode and using Odin flashed the cwm recovery tar file. Then got the the phone into recovery and flashed a ROM I had on my card.
Moral of the story. If it doesn't seem right dont follow through with it and always keep a working ROM zip on your card. It was totally my fault.
Just noticed, that restore was only 506mb. I ran out of space.

Let me start be saying be very carefully using the new twrp. I have tons of space now. Just tried to do a backup. It finished in 0 seconds, no fail message. I think I know what I'm doing and that is broke.

Wahooo..lol :sly:

I've had no problem with backups on mine. Matter of fact I've restored it once and it worked perfect.

i have restored backups back to back to back using twrp and have had no issues, even just restoring data it works fine.
glad you got it back up and running though.

Its been fixed, no worries.
FYI. In the new version you have to choose what you want backed up. Make real sure you check the boxes in the name screen.
Full wipe + no check marks = a real bad day

Whats wrong with titanium if not mind me asking

Nothing at all..I own it...was just trying to get advice if theres something better on the market...thats all...been awhile for me and I know $h¡t changes...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I still use TitaniumBackup when I need backups. Although in theory I don't need it with ROM Toolbox.

There is Carbon Backup but the main difference with that one is that you need to have your apps already installed from the Play Store in order to restore your data backups

Phone very laggy?

I'm currently running the note s4 rom. My phone will randomly lock up and get terribly laggy. I was on the newest stock ota and decided to flash the note s4 rom. The phone still acted like this on the stock rom also. I've still got lag and freezing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't you think this belongs in your roms thread. Rather than in question forum. Go over there and talk about your problems WITH THE ROM YOU'RE USING.

If you read his post he says it happens on stock as well. So before Flaming someone maybe at least know what's going on.
Op, is there something that makes it happen? Specific apps, something like that?

Try to do a clean wipe and clean install again. It might help with it being laggy. I usually do a full wipe and clean install every 2 months, even when using the same rom, That's just me.
POWERED by the MASTER!

Ive tried odining back to complete stock and wiping everything and then flashing the rom. It seems to do it at random. A reboot seems to fix the issue for a few hours. It's only done it once or twice so far today.

No it seems to do it at complete random. I normally dont keep that many apps open at one time on my phone.

Well try another kernel, see if that helps. Maybe your phone doesn't like stock kernel.
