Is there any ways to backup the phone entire to restore it in another galaxy note? I can't simply just do a drive to drive backup right?
You would have to create an image of all the partitions. The easiest way to do is to root your phone and install Rom Toolbox or CWM Rom Manager. Simply hit the backup option, save the files and restore to another identical model.

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a stable custom ROM for my Galaxy Next/Mini, but first of all I want to do a complete backup (apps + apps data + data) and save the backup copy of the files on my PC.
Now I'm using Android 2.3.4 (by Kies) with CWM, Root access and Link2SD( I want also to maintain the 500mb ext partition made via CWM)
Can you help me?
P.S: i've found that emanoN ROM v3 seems to be the most stable customROM, do you agree?

you can go for emanoN v3 but in my opinion cm7 is best compatible OC'ed able and super smooth and for backup use clockworkmod recovery backup or try backing up app with es file explorer and for data copy the data folder from /system/data/data
Thanks for your reply.
Now, using Titanium Backup, i went into Backup/Restore menu, clicked the botton at the left of the Home bottom (sorry, I don't know the exact english name of it), go into Others and I've found "Create 'update.zip' ".
Using this function will it make a backup copy(of apps and app's data) flashable via recovery?
No. That option will create a flashable .zip to install your titanium backup trough recovery.

Using the app ANDROZIP or ASTRO FILE MANAGER, you can take backup of all the applications installed in ur mobile.
Androzip>Options>App manager> ..select which all apps to take backup..the setup files of those apps ll be saved in SD card in the folder 'app backup'
if you have any data saved in each app, that app will be having its own backup option.
Contacts, SMS and call logs could be backedup using SUPERBACKUP app

If you are on custom rom it's a matter of breeze. Just go to CWM recovery and do a nandroid backup. Read how to backup all apps and data article below:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-backup-all-applications-and-data.html
If you are on stock rom flash CWM recovery v5 and then do the backup as in the article above.... Here is the link to download and flash latest CWM recovery v5.0.2.6 : http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html
Pay attentintion, since backup from one rom to another may not work,
since different roms may store data in different places (sms, contact ?).
If you want to dump an exact copy of you ROM+APPS+SETTINGS+DATA you can follow this 3d...
u need the titanium backup app(needs root access) first
download it from below
after that open the app and select the apps that u want to backup and select apps + data option
now a folder named Titanium Backup will be created in your sd card ,copy it to your pc
after u flash a new rom paste that again in your sd card and run the app and restore all apps and u are done
and for a custom rom cm7 is a good choice for mini

FYI: emanon v3 is smoother than cm7
Hi guys,
I just flashed a new rom -Stocklite 7.1
This is my first attempt at flashing a ROM so bare with me.
I created a Nandroid backup prior to flashing and I also copied the entire contents of the SD card over to my computer.
I am using Link2SD and an ext partion as well.
Flashed succesfully. However none of my previous apps / data show up, this was slightly unexpected. I attempted to peform a nandroid data only backup to get these by going to recovery mode then advanced data only restore.
But i got an md5 mismatch.
Basically.
I am trying to restore my apps / data and I want to keep the stocklite 7.1 ROM. NOT a full restore.
Any help?
I recommend using titanium backup for backing up your apps. But, you can probably get user apps by coppying/flashing them to where they belong.
Options:
1 go back to stock rom by restoring your stock backup, make a backup using titanium backup, flash stock lite, install titanium backup, restore your apps. To succesfully restore your stock nandroid backup use te ext4 manager app, convert system to rfs, go to recovery, restore.
2 - open your stock backup on your computer with unpacking or iso software (like 7 zip), extract your user apps (apk files), create a flashable zip to flash them to data/app, system/app as needed. You can also flash their libs and data files to data/data and dalvik-cache to data/dalvik-cache. That should restore user apps and their data to internal memory if you don't want to use titanium backup.
You lost all your data..you should have a taken app backups with Titanium Backup,Nandroid isn't enough.
MD5 mismatch is showing up because you changed the name of the backup folder ..
You can open the backup manually, and get all the data.It might or not work,that would depend oon your luck
Thanks for the posts guys!
I just wasn't thinking. I had already taken a titanium backup full backup so thats' all good!
I wonder if there is any way to find the official v20 euro open in zip file in order to flash it wherever I am via cwm without using a computer .thanks in advance
You can clean install v20 and back up with cwm. Firmwares come in kdz.
and then? i will make a wipe and after that i will backup from sd and thats all?
You should backup from sd first. If you are having any games, use titanium backup to backup and then backup using astro or file expert the apk and data file (obb file). You can install the game using apk and data file and then restore titanium backup to resume the game where you left. If you do install from LGFlashTool, it will format the phone. Just simple cwm backup after factory reset. I think it is better to install from pc than cwm. I hope you understand.
Hey Guys ,,
is there any way to move a backup data to the ROM
i have ATT note 3,, i did backup using safe strap and after x note ROM instillation i tried to do restore data but it failed,,,any solution
I believe the Safestrap backups are similar to just TWRP or Nandroid backups.
They'll save the entire partition as is, to restore back to that state at a later date.
They aren't good for, say, moving all your apps and appdata to a new Rom.
For that, you should use Titanium Backup or a similar backup manager like Helium.
Then back up just the apps and appdata (not system apps, since they'll often conflict with the new rom) to your SDCard, and restore them when on the new app.
Sorry, it doesn't help when you've already done the TWRP backup and flashed a new rom.
Hi, I am new to this forum and also new to Rooting and Flashing.
Recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy M20 device with Magisk after flashing TWRP Recovery with Odin.
Now I want to take a nandroid backup (full rom backup along with all system settings and apps data).
1. On Backup menu of TWRP, should I select only ''boot'', ''system'' , ''data'' or ''System Image'' along with these?
2. And as I am taking the backup after rooting, will the backup include root access? I mean if I restore the backup later, will then the rom be kept rooted?
3. Is there a way to backup rom with keeping root access for my device?
(I rooted the device by flashing magisk with TWRP. Before that I flashed a zip file ''disable dm verify''. I actually followed a youtube video.)
Maybe your best anwer is here .... official TWRP website.
A nandroid backup gives you back the exact status of the moment of backing up.
In your first backup, backup everything except recovery .... and place this on your external sd-card. Depending on your version of TWRP you might be able to backup a system image (and if so ... then this is your best choise) and if you don't see that choise then backup boot, system, and data . Be sure to have chosen the right and latest TWRP for your phone.
Keep in mind that not all data are backed up, especially not the data on your internal sd-card. (make a backup of them separately !)
Make sure that an external sd-card is added to your phone !
