I am going to try to update to 2.2 but I just want to backup my entire phone
before I do it cause I might lose everything...
so my question is how to back everything up?
Is there a software for it?
umm If you back up a 2.1 phone state you cant restore it once your in 2.2 What exactly do you wanna back up or save?
does that mean if i want to update to 2.2 i need to erase everything??
all i want to backup are my apps
ROM manager is your answer if you want to back up a ROM and potentially restore it. You can also backup all your apps with titanium backup and then flash back to stock (which I assume your on) and then reload your apps with titanium backup. Do some reading around here about those two items, that will get you what you need.

If i want to flash a new rom, i back up all my app using tibu. but if i use odin to flash back to stock, then hit master clear all my app is lost. most of the new custom roms ask you to master clear, so how can you back up you app if you have to master clear....

What I did was
1) backup my apps using Tibu.
2) Copy the tibu data folder onto my external SD card or computer.
3) Master Clear and flashed away.
4) Copied the Tibu data folder back to the internal SD card (I think its the root directory of the internal SD card....cant remember).
5) Opened up Tibu and restore the apps.

Open titanium
Top bar, select backup and restore
Hit menu key on your phone
Select batch
Select restore apis with data
That should do it, do not restore any system data

So now that I lured you in with my snazzy thread title I will hit you with the boring stuff. Im just lost on all the ROM Flash OCLF Kernel Lingo. I want to go to Froyo and currently have 2.1 with Voodoo. There doesnt seem to be any SOLID thread that gives you simple instructions on what it does, how to do it, etc.
I read somewhere that if you have the Voodoo on the phone currently you have to flash back to the stock ROM. Other thread dont really touch on if you have to flash back or if you just do the upgrade.
Second, what is going to be lost in the process. Again I see some thread that say you have to do a Master Delete that will erase everything on the phone then some are not clear if you have to erase everything. If you do have to wipe it clean what are you guys using the back up all your apps? I did a backup with ROM Manager last night as well as a App Backup with Astro. But where do the backed up files go? Is it smart enough to drop them on the external SD card?
I hate to post such a general question but I am just getting overwhelmed reading 6 million different threads about different versions that do different things.
Disable voodoo by creating a folder in the voodoo directory "disable-lagfix" (without quotes), reboot (this will take a while). When that is fine download Titanium Backup and use that to backup all your apps + data. Copy the Titanium Backup folder to your external sd card. Backup all the data you want on your internal sd card. Flash back to stock and do a master clear (enable usb debugging first), root and install RM/CWM, copy over the rom you want to flash to the internal sd card (DO NOT RENAME). Power off the phone remove your sim card and sd card. Boot into CWM and flash your rom.
ps. Make sure your battery is fully charged.
Let me know if I missed anything. Swyping this before bio class.
Edit: Do NOT restore system data

What he said. Also if you are new to flashing I would advise looking into the cognition thread. It is definitely the easiest and most user friendly rom. And actually if you are coming from 2.1 all you should need to do is disable the lagfix by above named method, and one click to stock using odin. Also can be found in cognition thread somewhere. Then flash. I have never had to do a master clear. And have never had even a minor problem with either odin flashes or CWM. This just would save a little time but by all means if you wanna stay safe as can be do a master clear.
Thanks. I got the Cognition rom loaded up and is working well. Although It is missing swype which I miss.

Huh? All my Cognition versions had swype.
Swyping....read at your own risk
I second that, I have always had swype as well. I know this sounds obvious and I am sure you have already tried this but cog sets the default as android keyboard try switching the input by long pressing the input box.

Might have to go into settings, locale and text and enable it. Not sure, never used it, but I have to do that for smart keyboard. It's a thought.
Subject says it all. I'm looking at flashing Cognition but I'm hesitant if I will lose all saved games. I have titanium backup but have only used it to removed at&t bloatware. Can I use that to backup saves? And if so.. how?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I use titanium backup and it has always restored my Angry Birds' saved games... I was three star-ing everything so I wasn't about to flash and lose it all either HAHA. I say use TiBu and you should be fine, though there are anomalies and I am not responsible for any lost saved games haha
Is there a "how-to" for titanium backup?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
TiBu -> Menu -> Batch -> Backup all user apps
Flash ODIN
Flash new rom (you can click wipe data, it doesnt delete your sd card stuff, in fact, i recommend it)
Install TiBu (if your rom doesn't have it included)
TiBu -> Menu -> Batch -> Restore all apps with data
Click install, install, install. Done.
If you're really anal (which i was for a while), put in an external sd card and copy the titaniumbackup folder from your root folder to the external sd card and then take it out. lol
Ah sweet. So if I'm understanding those steps... the internal sd card is not treated like internal ROM storage that is wiped when you flash your phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
No, but if you did, for instance, an Odin 3 one click back to stock, and clicked the master clear button, or if you do a factory reset, etc., that would wipe the internal SD card. So, if your ocd like me, connect to your pc and mount the SD card, and transfer everything on it to the PC hard disk. Then repeat that whenever you're going to flash. Just in case, you know.
Backup all user apps or backup all user apps + system data?

Do all backup stuff. You can later select what to restore. You can go in and just restore browser favorites if you want.

Attention!!!
If you use Titanium Backup dont do a mass restore (all file at once) while it dont will put it onto SD card! the apps and the phone memory will be full and some error etc.
restor oance a time the apps. and move it manualy to SD card.

No its no necessary..it'l b a lengthy process so do some apps at once like 20.. no error ever occured to me..
in titanium backup setting there is a option which let you choose if you want to install apps in sdcard, phone memory or android way
choose android way then TB will install some apps in phone memory and some apps in sdcard so need to restore app individually
also TB is better than nandroid backup and never ever restore system data with TB
use titanium backup (i recommend pro version)to backup all user apps...then u flash new rom.....then u run restore missing apps with data...not anything else...
I tried yesterday to restore 30 apps from batch and fail.
Apps was backuped form stock rom.
TB dosent remember to restore the apps here it was? exemple cut the rope is sd up but puts it on phone?
I'am refering that what should be on sd to restor to sd what no no.
I use Titanium Backup Pro. Restore and run batch until notify Batch verification finished 0 error found. But not found restore files anywhere. Does I missing some step?
I always restore around 80apps at once and never had any problem..

Yes its possible.
Simply install titanium backup or Mybackup application from the market. The pro versions are better at a small fee
Then from the current ROM back up all the apps you want. this back up is stored in the SD card and so wount be affected by Flashing a custom ROM.
Now flash the desired ROM and again install either of the applications you used to backup the apps from the market. i.e if you used titanium backup to back up your apps, then install titanium back up from the market.
then select restore option to restore your applications!
Hope this helps.
yeah, try Titanium Backup.
Tqvm for suggestion. Then, what is different compare to CWM backup? Which better?

I tried restoring when I went from Blazer ROM to CM10 but it just gave me errors and force closes. Is there a specific way in TB to restore in a different ROM or do you basically have to start off with a clean slate?
After many months of using this phone I've slowly started to fill my my internal storage/internal SD/External SD. And even after flashing new roms the space is still taken up with 0 programs installed. Well I know that it's all still there, but how can I get rid of all the data that the apps have made over time? I believe with enough titanium restores I may have duplicate data on the internal and external SD, but obviously my phone is only reading from one of them.
Also, if I remove everything (excluding the backups from titanium), and then restore them with titanium backup, will they restore just fine, or does titanium rely on that data to still be there?
Just do Factory Reset and Format your phone's memory from the Storage settings... Your phone will empty up
You can titanium backup what you want then plug the phone in the PC on USB mode and copy the titanium backup folders (2 total files 1 zip and 1 folder) somewhere u can remember onto the computer then proceed with the factory reset and format the memory. After you finish the format then move the titanium backup back on the phone memory

Thanks for the replies.
I ended up starting from a newly flashed rom, then deleted all the contents of my .androidsecure folder. Then used titanium backup to restore the apps I wanted.
Hi!
Well, I rooted my phone yesterday and I now want to upgrade it from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 (if there is any diffrent?) I'm going to use ODIN. My question is, do I need to re-root after the upgrade? Will I lose any apps after upgrading?

Moving fast aren't you
Yes there is a difference I'm not sure but usually in speed, battery and features. If it is a stock from then yes you will need to re root as it will probably come with a kernal.
Apps: if you tick repartition and use a pit file then it will factory reset your phone. It do it anyway, I'm not 100%. Apps you can use is,
app list backup: it will make a list of all your apps. For those downloaded from market it will have market links.
SMS backup and restore: self explanatory
titanium backup: Saves the data and app..need root for this. So you may need to gain root again after flashing.
Couple of tips... use a pit and wipe its just less likely to cause conflicts. Make a nandroid backup from recovery. Your internal SD card data will be saved, (where your pictures are usually stored) but its best to copy all that to comp as well

Ah, okay. So you recommend me to factory reset it? Is there an app to backup all the files to my computer? I'm running Titanium backup right now but if I factory reset it, the backup will be gone, right?
Yes I suggest factory reset.
No because that is stored on your partition. Only if you select format SD card or format pictures etc then you will loose it. You can tell titanium back up to move and keep the folder on your external...
To transfer files you just need to connect your phone to PC and use as a mass storage device. It should pop up in my computer as a new removable drive. If not install the drivers via kies.

What about this: Moving almost every app to my external SD-card, using Titanium backup to store all my highscores etc, somehow get the backup to my PC, removing the SD-card and then facotry resetting it? Will my apps still work?
You can try it, im not sure ive never done it.
I would assume that would not work because im sure a file in the system would still need to know that the app is present. If you do a factory reset then that will be deleted. However it is likely that when you re-install the app from the market that it will realise and everything will be back to normal, but then there is also the possibility that the old files will be deleted with the new installation...lol
Endless possibilities. In the end try it but make sure you have a nandroid backup incase something goes wrong.
Use app list backup for the apps and titanium backup for the data backups (high scores, game data etc) However restoring data from TB can cause conflicts which will mean that apps wont work and you'll have force closes.
Good luck let us know how it goes
