Backup rom

Hi, I want to ask you, if there is any way to backup whole rom without flashing new clockwork mod?
1) How do I backup?
2) How can I restore it?

Yes, but you do need to be rooted. Have a look at this thread.

Thanks, but I can't see here the answer for my two questions. It's not problem to be rooted, but I don't know, how to make full ROM backup before factory reset and flashing new ROM.

Using an alternative recovery

Except for backing up your stock recovery, everything else should ideally be done in CWM.
You'll get Nandroid backup which is a lot simpler to use than the dd command I explain in that other thread.

So, I flashed CWM a few minutes ago, but when I wanna make there backup, it's starting, but then it writes something like: Can't mount... I have to have ext4 partition on my sd card?

No, you don't have to repartition your SD.
What firmware do you want to backup? CWM won't work for 2.2.x AFAIK.

OMG thats great now i dnt want to use 3rd party app for backup of my intalled apps thans for in4mation

[Q] unfortunately app-name has stopped in all roms

I have in real trouble. I have tried multiple rooms and I do delete both dalvik cache and other cache and wipe system but some how after sometime while I am on the new ROM, apps begin to crash . mostly CNN app and viber app and also system ui
Always this msg . unfourtanetly vivwr has stopped working. I den know wat to do please help
Right now on sorcerey ROM with its own custom kernel

Did you factory reset (or wipe data) prior to flashing the ROM?

Yup I always do that. Always

Sounds like you're restoring the same "wrong" system data with Titanium Bkup on every rom you flash.
good day.

You say you install system data? What do you mean by that? Are you using something like titanium backup?
My guess is that there is something wrong with your ROM install procedure though, since this problem persists across multiple ROMs. If it were just one app, or just one ROM then the problem could be app or ROM related. But when there are multiple apps, and multiple ROMs that leads me to think this.
Perhaps you can use logcat to find the problem, if you are sure your installation method is good.

I had the same problem when i installed ParanoidAndroid rom.
Then when i flashed sny other rom systemui always was crashing.
The only way out of it was to flash stock image with full wipe.

Why you flashed manually with Mobile Odin? The recommended method is to let PmR use the Custom Recovery to flash the MOD. Which recovery do you have installed on your phone? CWM, TWRP?

had CWM, after flashing with odin can't access anything cos of the wipe.
Stupid, stupid me
Stuck at the Samsung logo for quite some time now, what does that mean?
Should i wipe and factory reset or is there an alternative way out?

If you had cwm already then no meaning to use mob odin, anyway if factory reset doesn't work then have to Reflash rom.

You have a nandroid backup, of course? Try the tools on dr.ketan's signature.
As a last resort, you can try Kies to return to official, unrooted, stock Sammy-blessed state. :cyclops:
And start flashing again, afterwards! :angel:

I actually forgot to create a nand backup before messing with the flashing. UGH.
I guess being spoonfed as a previous iOS user has it's drawbacks.
Time to play with everything now that I have such a clean UI

Glad to know that your phone returned to life.:good:
Remember to make nandroid backups regularly.
Good Luck!

I recommend titanium backup or same other compare to nandroid.
Nandroid push you back to original state while you want to test mods and roms, titanium will be much helpful to restore data on cross roms.

was using titanium before, now i can't restore due to my data not being on cloud/sd card.
wouldn't a "snapshot" of my phone now be a better choice for a situation like this?

which app to use for nandriod backups? so far I've seen only CWM/TWRP.

I prefer titanium on ext sd card, bcoz note2 wipes internal sd card too.
Yes cwm/TWRP needs for nandroid.

TWRP seems to be working pretty well, but do i have to extract the folder and back it up on my desktop in case of another full wipe?

TWRP restores everything including desktop but remember it will be same as on day you have created nandroid. Subsequently changes won't have in it.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Oh that's cool! So it really just screenshot the entire phone and restores back to when it was made?
Side note, each backup is almost a GB big, won't it eat up a lot of memory on your phone? As such, which options are best to select when using twrp? (eg efs, data, system)
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

Efs is just 20mb, needs when you have messed up imei, it is must in my point of view even if you don't want nandroid backup
data is backup of installed applications
System is ROM, which needs to recover device when you have got something wrong.

[Q] Just got the Note 2.

Hello,
I just have the note 2, and i rooted it with the rootkit i found on xda.
Now i've made a backup with TeamWin, and selected to backup everything.
Now my question is, is this my stockrom now that i back-upped?
And i noticed the counter went up to 2.
And for most of all, can i load custom rom's now?
And if i load a custom rom, will it effect my personal data? If so, how can i back this up and load it back?
Kind regards,
Hoolz14

if you installed TWRP or CWM recovery yes, you can flash roms. to clean the flash counter use triangle away and while you having a custom recovery check the option reset on every boot.
you should also check that

you can restore ur backup using recovery..... flash counter went two i think 1 for the root and 1 for the custom recovery.,.,

Make sure you do a separate backup of EFS and you can flash any rom on your device
Triangle away will help you in resetting the flash counter

Awesome
Used titanium backup for backing up my user apps.
Can i restore these on another custom rom?
Thanks everyone for the quick reply's, very appriciated!

Yes, you can restore your app and the data as well. But for some reason, it would not recommend to restore too many data on another rom. But app is ok, just restore as many as you like.

Just check if you have proper root access?
To access /data root access is required. If you donot have that then there are chances you can get this error.

flash the recovery you made the backup with, flash dn3, boot it up, go back to recovery and try to restore your backup. if it doesn't work get titanium backup. you can restore data out of nandroid backups with tita backup but it isn't a good recommendation as it seems to be a messy way and it takes ages.
hope it helps

And try the int sd fix with dr. Ketan's utilities once too.

Nandroids get broken all the time. As mentioned there are ways to recover some data but I doubt you're going to get the results you want.
