How can I back it up before installing a new ROM? I want to install juggernaut, but I don't want to erase all my data! Help! Please?
Go into recovery and run a backup
That will back up entire stock rom
I suggest doing this
If u want to back up ur personal data n apps use titanium backup or MyBack up pro

restore data with titanium.
...you shouldn't be posting questions on this thread

You are in the wrong forum buddy, this belongs in general. To answer you're question. You need to boot into recovery, under backup and restore you are going to select backup and this will create an image of your current rom or stock os. It's like taking a picture that you can restore if you don't like what ever rom you flash. It even copies text msgs and apps.

CWM saves to the SD card - which isn't touched in a factory reset
hi,
a few days ago I installed Chobits digitalis v2. I made a back-up with cwm. But, I wanted to go back to the stock rom, so I restored the backup, but it sticks on the first boot screen(see attachment)
Then I installed chobits digitalis again and it worked. But how can i get my backup or the stock rom back without losing my data?
Thank you!
Always Make data/cache wipe before restoring a backup.
Backup your apps with Titanium Backup so you can restore them in other ROMs.
When restoring to stock ROM, if you get a bootloop then enter recovery mode, wipe data/cache and reboot.
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!

I made a data/cache wipe, but it didnt work. But actually i want the data from my backup back..

the reason i think is the kernel
you cannot restore the CWM backup because the kernel is different . go back to stock kernel first
Hi,
I still have chobits digitialis v2 and I tried to install the EVO-X2 rom. And, offcourse, I had the problem again. Can somebody tell me step by step what I have to do to install the EVO-X2 rom?
Thanks!
EDIT: Anybody?
Anybody?
You can try to format your system, then wipe data and then install the rom

This is a very noobish question that I couldn't even find a post about it on the forums. Here's the situation: I'm running ics by Lord Clockan on my phone. I'm going to make a backup of it and then flash jellytime by randomblame today. I know I need to do a full wipe before I flash jellytime. If I want to switch back to ics tomorrow, do I need to do a full wipe again before flashing my backup? I don't flash roms very often, and never backups, so, someone please guide me!
When you restore a nandroid backup from recovery you don't need to perform a wipe, only when flashing a new rom

Thank you (I'm out of 'thank you's for the day). So after I flash jellytime, I can constantly switch between ics and jt without wiping anything, since they're both nandroids?

I wouldn't do that if I were you, it's always best to full wipe when changing stuff...

I have to agree, keep a current nandroid of your daily rom and if you want to play with JB do a Full wipe install as it is progressing quite quick.
I tought I need wipe after retore.

Well if you wiped after restore, you wouldn't have anything on your phone, wouldn't you? The best rule of thumb to go by is this: Whenever you're flashing a kernel/gapps/whatever that doesn't change your ROM, wipe cache and Dalvik. If you are flashing a new ROM or restoring a nandroid, do a full wipe (system, data, cache, Dalvik).
Good information from all of you since I also thought about these questions.
Will a backup from clockworkmod also backup apps and settings aswell or is titanbackup needed here?

It backups everything, so no need for Titanium when you are restoring a nandroid, you only need it when you are switching between ROMs.

I am not a pro so please correct me if i am wrong and thank me if i am correct XD
here the step normall i do before flash another rom
>Backup alll Apps (i am using Titanium Backup)
>Flash Full Wipe ZIP ( find at ARHD page )
>FLash ROM ( what ever you wanted )
if you wanted to flash back to another rom then do back again from step 1 .
Yeah, I kmow it sounds noob but here is the thing.
You do a nandroid backup, then i restore it, simple as it is.
But should i completly do a clean up be4 doing the restore and does the restore be as good as the last time I used it? Or will it have some issues after first restore?

Restoring is better and less work than flashing through odin.
No wipe is neccery with restore..I personaly prefer Twrp cause it saves your efs and modem in seperate partitions for easy restore.
yes I know, but what are the steps so I can fully restore it as it was before without any bugs or failures.. only tap on restore?
Yes just tap on restore; it automatically wipes and restores each partition you've backed up.

in my experience, I always backup the ROM I'm using before flashing any new ROMs
in any ROM backup, I recommend that you checked the boot, system & data (I use TWRP recovery) if you want to revert to it later on
if all three items are checked, you can just restore it & it'll be the same as when you backed it up
as for the wipe, I always wipe (data, cache & dalvik cache) before flashing &/ restore anything, just to be on the safe side
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

it is known that some phones have that issue and maybe yours so be aware of that
hope i helped, bests

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.
