Yes it can be backup,
It is recommended to backup every partition and keep a copy of whole twrp backup folder in PC so that if something goes wrong u can restore them later.
Many times peoples lost networks,phone lags,low battery backup,no sound in call or many other problems so be on safe side, backup your device.

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 got a question. Is it a must to wipe before flashing a rom? For example, I'm on a rom and i want to flash another rom. Why is it a must to wipe it? What happens if I don't wipe it and flash a new rom?
Kind regards,
Semih
Its not a must but its highly recommended if you don't sometimes you'll get bootloops, sometimes you'll get random crashes and apps not working or you could get very lucky and everything might work fine. You should at least wipe the /cache partition, you won't lose any data.

if you are on the same rom and the dev updates then most of the times no it is no need to update. if you are trying different roms though then yeah best to do is wipe. if you go into ARHD thread in the first page there is a script called superwipe. download that and flash it before you flash a new rom and that will do all the wipes for you. or just do it the old fashion way in recovery and reason why to wipe sometimes so you do not have old system data from previous roms

Also make sure 100% you have your Rom on your sd as you can't mount sd in recovery and after running there is no system.

And also a backup..that is the most important thing...went through a lot of threads that i read and most of the people on some threads ask on how to restore using RUU cause they do not have a backup of their stock rom..So please always make a backup my friend
It's not. They call that a "dirty flash". I've never done it but I've heard that it's not advised.
I want to flash a new rom, but i don't want to use titanium backup to restore my apps, thats to much time. And if I wipe it, my settings will lost. So, i don't want to do it. But it seems that I have to do it, otherwise i'll get some errors and bootloops etc. I thank you all for your fast reply. I'll wipe my phone
A nandroid backup. If I do it while on the old rom, can I restore it on the new rom? not an updated rom, just another rom of another developer..

contacts you can save them if you have a google account my friend. regarding backing up apps with Titanium backup if you have the Pro version it is all a matter on a few clicks. so my advise would be get it if you do not have the Pro version

Yeah thats fine, I usually flash the old rom first then restore the backup when coming from cm9 or miui to stock to avoid bootloops etc.

Hi guys! So I mess with my phone all the time, switching kernels etc. I am running the ARHD 7.1.0 ROM and I did a Nandroid backup in CWM just in case anything bad happens to it.
I came from a Galaxy S2 though and was thinking of some questions that came into my mind. It would be nice for u to tell me that:
1. Does the backup flashes the "boot.img" automatically? or u have to "fastboot flash boot boot.img"??
2. Does it backs up the kernel?
3. Does it backs up my personal data like the SMS, Contacts and settings etc?
4. What will happen if I restore my stock nandroid backup over this?
5. Can I restore some other person's HTC One X's Stock/Custom ROM backup? Will it work?
THANKS!! ^_^
what version of RUU u have there ? is it an Asia_India? 1.29.720.11?

1. Yes, it flashes the boot.img automatically no need to use adb.
2. Yes, it backs up the kernel you we're on when you made the backup.
3. Yes, the backup will restore things to the exact state your phone was in when you made the backup. But if your really paranoid use something like titanium backup first to back up SMS etc.
4. If you restore your stock backup it will return your phone to complete stock but you will keep root access.
5. Yes technically you could restore another person's backup but I'd be careful doing that as it may cause some problems with corruption.

Well there is some confusion.
A backup doesn't flash anything.
The restore won't flash the boot.img.
I have made a backup of stock rom... now I have to install is back. Can I restore the stock rom by restoring option available TWRP recovery? Or there are other ways I have to follow to flash stock rom.

I made a complete back up using twrp in my device but while restoring reaching 53% it is automatically switching off. But this only happening while restoration of backup, not taking place while flashing custom ROM
Please help me with a solution

Try to watch on what file it is switching off, then delete it from backup and try to restore again.
Untick System Image (not system) in TWRP menu

Recently I downloaded havoc os, I wanted to switch to it from stock ROM, I've done the unlocking stuff and rest of the things,my final step before flashing is backing up the stock ROM,cause precaution is always better ,so when I see the backup option,there are whole lot of things to back off,which confuses me like anything,can anyone tell me In brief which are the things I need to backup before I go ahead and do the flashing stuff. Please a quick response would be valuable,cause I can't wait to use a new rom

I don't know for emui 8 & twrp
But it is easy to wipe everything and install a new blank copy of emui.
Use this.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
With Google app restore you get back your WiFi password, some settings and apps you just have to login to most apps and setup your home screen again.
You could try make a settings back up using Huawei backup & cloud.
Because your data is encrypted it is hard to decrypt & backup.
Or use Titanium backup.
