Does anyone know how to backup our rooted stock phones before we start running other roms ?
i think we need a recovery with nandroid before we can really do that, i think clockwork had nandroid so we just need to make that the recovery mode and we should be ok
Hey guys, this is a really simple question, but was not able to find a simple answer for this.
I'm running stock rooted and am thinking about trying a new ROM, the question is:
1) when I do a backup of current ROM through clockworkmod recovery, does this back up all my apps? or do I need to use mybackup pro or titanium to backup my apps as well as the clockwork backup?
2) if I decide that I do not like the new ROM, can I just go restore from clockworkmod and recover my old ROM (stock) or will I need to flash the RUU file to get back to stock?
Sorry for the noob type questions, just wanna make sure I am squared away to get into these custom ROMs

1) Your apps are backuped, it creates an exact image of your phone at that point. If you do a full wipe then thats when Titanium backup comes in handy.
2) Restoring a nand backup as long is the stock rom backup you want will get you back up and running.
You will need Titanium backup or mybackup if ur gonna flash a new ROM. The nandroid will backup apps, but only useful when you restore back to that nandroid. To restore ur apps after flashing a new ROM, you will need titanium.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
Hi. I backed up my phone using the backup method found here: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/full-backup-of-non-rooted-devices
This method uses CMD and creates an android backup file (.ab) I want to unlock my bootloader and add the custom clockwork recovery. Of course unlocking the bootloader wipes everything. So if i were to restore everything with the .ab file, then do the custom recovey with the superuser thing, would that give me root, and would all of my apps and data be restored as they are right now?
Probably a stupid question, but i want to be completely 100% sure i won't mess up my phone. I know its going to void warranty, which would be a problem if i dropped it of course
Thanks
It should work yes, you can also backup apps with an app called carbon. Free in the playstore.
Then unlock the bootloader,flash a custom recovery and make a backup of the stock rom in there right away too (needed when you want to go back to full stock for future updates) its called a nandroid backup.
Then root it and restore, or install a brand new custom already rooted rom
Thanks a lot
If it was a custom rom i chose to install, will it still restore? or would it need to be the original stock for the restore to work properly?

Afaik know you can restore apps on any rom with carbon. Watch out with restoring system data, it can crash the rom.
Because some custom roms have more changes and if you restore system parts it will break the rom. But apps should not be a problem. The most important thing is that you do a nandroid backup of the stock rom. The rest is easy to setup new in the worst case.
Brilliant. Thanks for the help, much apreciated.
Was half expecting an answer like that, i think i will give root stock a go, then probably when HTC stop updating i will be very tempted to give a custom a go.
Cheers
I have unlocked the bootloader, i think i have flashed the recovery, downloaded nandroid and still says i need root, so i downloaded the superuser thing and when i try to install the binary thing it says there is an error. Anything i can do?
Update: I have learnt Its all good now.
Good mate ! Have fun with your rooted phone
CASE CLOSED !
I need some advice on using TWRP backup there is a few new selection which I am not familiar with what I want to accomplish is to make a full backup of my stock ROM in case I need to reset it completely stock including stock recovery, for example planning to sell it or giving it to a relative and you want them to enjoy the phone at stock is there a chance this can be done.
Backup everything but data, or use the correct RUU.
Hey all!
I'm currently on stock OOS 9.0.6 with unlocked BL.
I searched through the Q&A but couldn't find one with a similar question so making a new thread.
(Apologies if it's a duplicate, please direct me to an answer )
So I'm looking to install a custom rom (non-OOS) on my 5T but without having to go through the painful process of setting up all apps again if possible.
If I do a TWRP backup of /data (not media) from stock OOS 9, can I restore it on other custom Pie roms? Will it work as expected?
Do I need a particular TWRP for this?
Or is it better to do a Titanium Backup of all Apps and then restore it on custom roms?
Really appreciate your inputs!
You can't restore ,it will not boot , better use titanium or swift backup or migrate choice is yours
