Hello,
I realize this might have been answered before but I have no previous experience with this sorta thing and looking through other threads did not help me understand what I need to do.
I have an N5110 with 4.4.2 original ROM and want to flash a custom one.
I have already flashed Philz touch backup and understand the custom ROM (Civato's) can be flashed using it.
I have allot of school related data in apps and folders and wanted to know if there is an easy way to flash the new ROM and somehow restore all of my apps and data using Philz touch?
Thanks for reading!
If your rooted you can use titanium backup to back up the apps + the app data.

I need an app to backup my user data, apps and setting. A friend told me to use titanium backup but is there any other apps out there for beginners like me or is there a way of backing up the entire ROM in case anything goes wrong with my new custom ROM???

If your using Clockword mod recovery, then u can download rom manager and make a full back up of your current rom.
I'm assuming you already have root?
I am using 4EXT recovery I am just testing out the backup and restore at the moment to make sure it works but thanks for your advice, will try that if this method doesn't work

4EXT is highly thought of around here, I like using CWM as it's so easy to restore backups straight through rom manager.
Happy flashing
Ok just had a great result with a 4EXT restore. It works im so happy going flash a ROM right now lol. Thanks Everyone that helped me I dont have any thanks left for today but you will surely receive them tomorrow im out PEACE
Hi Everyone,
I've just successfully rooted and flashed a customer ROM (ARHD 16.0)
Just want to check the difference between have a custom ROM a stock ROM. Currently I'm still using the phone like it was before. So a few questions from a noob
1. Would the apps and data be wiped out again if I would try another ROM?
2. Is there a way to backup App Data and Settings if ever I would try another ROM or back to stock?
3. What are the things that I can do with a custom ROM/rooted HOX than with a stock one?
Hoping you guys can help me out with maximizing/understanding the things that I can do with my HOX
Thank you!
1.it depends if the next Rom you are going to install needs a full wipe 2. you can backup the apps ...also you can backup the settings using apps ....also I'd you wanna backup the apps make a nandroid backup for the Rom you are using then restore only data ...it it won't work from sense to jelly bean
3.every Rom has its own features and amazing stuff ...and when you root your are able to do awesome things with your phone ..like installing a Rom ....oc uc..change kernels ...install apps that cab do amazing things ...and LOTS if other things
The bottom if line, a phone not rooted is useless

Thanks for the info.
Is there any specific software/apps that I need to use for the backup of the apps and app data? Does Titanium backup do the trick?
Any other helpful apps that might help? Thanks!
Titanium Backup FTW

U Just answered ur question
Need some help moving forward with rom installation. Have been reading and playingback guides and articles in the last few days on rooting and roms. Just rooted AT&T S3 I747 ver. 4.1.2 and have access to SU. Installed Revovery Tools from DsLNeXuS and Titanium Backup Pro. Made a backup with Recovery Tools and stopped.
I'm going back and forth between guides noticing some of them were written over a year ago. Have been using these guides below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802160
Questions. Are Recovery Tools and Titanium Backup Pro used for the same purpose? Is the toolkit below an alternative to both these tools, RT and TBP?

Do I need to run RUU flashing?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Recovery backups are for if something happens to your phone you can restore phone its original sate by choosing backup from recovery.
With Titanium Backup you can backup your applications and data. Tomorrow if you install a new ROM you can just restore applications along with data from Titanium Backup.
When you flash anew ROM you will loose all your current apps and Titanium Backup is used to restore them.
Thanks. Sounds like I don't need to have both recovery programs but Titanium Backup will do.
When backing up apps is it necessary to back up all the at&t apps?
I am still at a lost with RUU. Do I still need to Flash RUU?
thanks.

You use titanium backup for backing up apps and the associated data (logins, settings, game progress, etc). For installing custom ROM you need a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP. Samsung stock firmware uses ODIN vice RUU.

So I'm hearing "restoring data from one rom to another can cause problems". This will be my first rom install. I've already backed up all apps and data. Do I have to pick and choose which apps I want to restore after flashing a new rom?
Thanks in advance.

It could cause problems. If it occurs, it is usually when switching from a Touchwiz ROM to an AOSP ROM and vice versa. If you are going from stock TW to a custom ROM based off stock (or AOSP to AOSP), you will likely have few to no issues. App compatibility with a new android version is another matter (I.e. ICS to JB 4.2). It could happen over changes in android versions but it is not likely and even less so over minor variations (4.2 to 4.3 for example).

Restoring "System" data from another ROM will usually give you problems.
Also, it might be a good idea to copy your EFS folder from the root of your phone, using a file explorer program, to your SD card or computer before you start flashing ROMs, as most people who later had data connection problems (lost their IMEI numbers) never got around to doing it.

Any file explorer program recommendations to copy EFS folder?
Are "custom ROM based off stock" and "Samsung based ROM" the same thing?
I am currently running AT&T Android Version 4.1.2, Baseband I747UCDMG2. Can you recommend a couple of known stable Samsung based ROMs?
On backing up apps and data. When preparing for the very fist ROM flash, does it make sense to not backup all the bloatware apps AT&T has in 4,1,2.?
Thanks in advance.

1. Root explorer is good. But it's a paid app.
2.Yes
3. S3Rx, Dandroid, Intergalactic, and Graviton are some excellent touchwiz ROMs.
4. Do not restore system apps!!

I currently have Recovery Tools, Titanium Backup and ROM Manager installed.
Do Recovery Tools ans ROM Manager do the pretty much the same thing? I see a lot of info for ROM manager. Will I be able to do everything by keeping only one(ROM Manager?)?
Is it better to always flash from external SD card instead of internal?
Slim Bean
Figured it out. Running Slim Bean 4.2.2.build.8-OFFICIAL. Don't think I can ever go back. Well worth contribution to developer.
Seeing as everyone ignores my question in threads such as cm10 and rooting, I thought I'd make a seperate thread.
So my question is if it is proven that a CWM backup and restore works fully without any problems. If I create a backup now, flash a custom rom, then go back to CWM and choose restore, will it restore my backup without any problems and error messages that can lead to a bricked phone?
No one's replied probably because no one (who frequents these forums) have tried it yet!
I just tried it with success.
I did a CWM backup installed stock FW, installed CM10.1 again and did a restore.
everything is back as before.

Awesome, great to hear. Thanks for testing and reporting. :victory:
Hey there!
I have a question? What's the best option for backing up my whole device? I want to flash CM 12.1 but I need TWRP for that, and for TWRP, I need to unlock my bootloader, which (according to people here) means to wipe my data and apps.
If I use the Backup app pre installed in my phone, will I be able to restore if say... I re-flash my stock ASUS ZenUI ROM again?

Yes you can restore from the backup using the stock Asus backup app if you decide to go back too stock. If you stick with cm12.1 then I would use titanium backup from the play store to backup and restore apps from a custom rom. However titanium backup also works with the stock rom but if it restores stock apps on a custom rom they will likely crash like mad.
Fun note when I unlocked my bootloader using the unofficial method it didn't wipe my data so I didn't need to restore any app backups. As always backup anything you might need just in case something goes wrong and you need to restore anything.
Pro tip, when doing backups on a phone like that zenfone 2 if you can backup to a removable sdcard cause if something goes wrong and you cant power on your phone you will always be able to access the backups using a sdcard reader.
