Titanium backup ? But not on pc, unless you xfer the upate zip/or Titanium backup zip to your pc for safe keeping. Still have to flash through recovery on the phone.
You could just do a nandroid and titanium backup and save the files to your PC.
yes my phone is rooted. I'm well aware of how to nandroid/titanium.
I was hoping for a solution that would allow me to simply connect my phone via USB and it would autmatically back it up. More of a nandroid than titanium.
I try a lot of new things and end up breaking stuff a lot. It would be nice to be able to do a simple restore and not have to set everything back up.
Note: I'm now using a Vibrant so that might matter.

Not until we have recovery, which we don't yet.
Does the Nook Color even have a normal hardware config where we would be able to flash a new ROM/Recovery into it?

My NC has sound issues which I believe will require a replacement. I would like to backup a ROM image and restore it on the new NC. How can I make this happen?

You can't back up a ROM yet (even if you could, restoring a nandroid backup on a different device probably isn't going to work).
Your best better is probably backing up your data onto your SD card with Titanium Backup then restoring that on your new one.

Just install Titanium again, and as long as the same SD card is in, you can restore all your apps with it

How would you back up apps you haven't installed?
Koush is currently working on a port of Clockwork Recovery, IIRC.
I want to clear my phone completely back to bare-bones 2.1. I do want to save my last good set up with froyo, so;
1) Is it a good idea to do a complete restore.
2) Is it better to leave the phone as is (leaving b/u in tact) or can I save the last b/u to my computer? If so how (Tibu, ROM Man???). How would I return this file back to the phone if necessary?
I never do any more backing up than Titanium Backup of apps. I know clockwork recovery can make a nandroid backup. It saves it to a folder on the internal sd card (Clockworkmod I think) and you could copy that to your computer. Then copy it back if you want to restore. The feature is there, I assume it works, but I have never personally done it. You could do all this through clockwork recovery, make the back up, and restore later if you want. You can leave the backup on your phone after you go back to stock, odin will not clear it off unless you do a "Master Clear". Then you would just have to reflash clockwork recovery, and you could restore.
I've transferred both tibu and nandroid (rom manager) backups to my pc and then restored from them after a master clear by copying them back to the phone from the pc. With the nandroid backup, you have to reinstall the rom first, and it must be the same rom you backed up.

I was thinking this was the case. My only concern is on the re-install, would I be correct in my asumption, that not only would I need the rom installed but the theme as well?

Disclaimer: I've not tried it. A nandroid backup restores everything in the rom plus apps, but not the kernel, so it should restore your theme and your apps. In that case you may not even need the tibu.

Well it's done, we'll see how it goes when I need it
I think the trick is having a working base rom and it being the same as the backup. Id be curious to try restoring a previous version of the same rom. How bad could it get?

That may not be a simple question to answer with any certainty. I would not even consider attempting it unless both phone models are exactly the same, you didn't say for sure that this is what you were meaning. If the models are the same: insure they have the same bootloader and modem installed. Then I still would not do it unless the ROM on the second phone is comparable to the ROM you are moving to it. The reason for this caution is that partitioning schemes are not the same on all ROMs, it can even change in a newer version of the same ROM.

Hi all,
is it possible to restore a full backup of apps and settings like iphone?
I do not want to root as I will try and restore using RUU (want to try something)
something like Titanium backup but for non rooted. Does Sync manager restore the phone and settings?
Any other application? I know my nexus 4 had a way to back it up on PC using a command to trigger backup.
Thanks
bump. looking for something to restore app data without root
I have the speaker buzz issue. I'm getting ready to get a new One ordered in. I'm currently running the old ViperROM and have Titanium Pro. My laptop is Windows 7.
So, what do I need to do to be able to backup all my apps and data so that I can easily install them onto the new phone with the updated Android version on the new phone, without backing up and restoring old system files from my current phone? I'd hate to loose progress on my games.
I've never quite dove fully into Titanium to understand all its various functions.
From what I understand, the new Ones currently ship with 4.3 and mine is still on 4.1.2, so I dont want to screw anything up.
Thanks
Make a nandroid backup, copy it to your PC than copy it to the new phone. You can also use TB, but this way is faster

yeah, I'm gonna do a nandroid, titanium, and manually copy everything. That way, one way or another, I'll have what I need.
Hi, recently I tried to flash a 4.3 ROM onto my C5303 as an upgrade from 4.1.2. I backed up my phone (using Sony's software), and it turned out that I had to restore the backup since my phone got wiped in the process of upgrading. The thing is, whenever I try to restore the backup via PC Companion, I always get an error message and the restore fails.
Is there a way to go about doing this, or are all of my data and settings lost?
Thanks for all the help.
1) downgrade back to 4.1
2)restore
3)root your phone
4)backup your apps and data(sms,calls,wifi) using titanium backup(make sure you use your external sd to backup your stuff because you may format internal memory)
4)update to 4.3 keeping root
5)restore from titanium backup
