1. Install Rom Manager, and from there flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Enter ClockworkMod recovery. (reboot in recovery, or boot while holding power + volume down button) In ClockworkMod recovery select backup/restore and then backup (you can navigate using the volume buttons and power button)
2. Pretty much the same as 1. A nandroid backup (recovery backup) backups everything. But, if you only want a backup of your apps and data you could always use Titanium Backup.
3. With My Backup you can backup your contacts etc.
4. Download the rom onto your SD card. The rom will be in zip format, no need to unpack it.
From there boot into recovery, select the options:
factory reset/wipe data (root will not be erased)
Wipe cache
Advanced --> wipe dalvik
And then select the option install zip from SD card and choose the right SD card. (internal or external)

1. How do I save my stock rom (2.3.4)?
To save your stock rom you need Rom Manager. Once you have installed Rom Manager you must "Flash ClockworkMod recovery. Once you have done that, you must swithch your phone off. Once it is off, press and hold the volume up (+) and down (-) button while holding the power button. Do this for about 10 seconds and it will boot into ClockworkMod recovery. Once in there go to "backup and restore" and then "backup" Now after that you will have a nandroid backup.
2. How do I backup all my apps and data?
To backup all your apps and data use Titanium Backup . Once you have installed Titanium Backup, go to "backup/restore" push the options key on your phone and then press"Batch". Now select "Backup all user apps/system data".
3. How do I backup my sms , contacts etc ?
Use MyPhoneExplorer Client. You need to also install the software on your computer. Once you have done that. Open it on your phone and connect your phone to your pc. Then open the software on your computer and click sync.
4. How do I put the new rom ?
Oce you have got ClockworkMod recovery installed you can flash a new rom.
Do a full wipe in recovery mode (wipe data, cache, dalvik) but you can always restore your data with titanium backup. What you also could do in case everything goes wrong (I highly doubt it) is to make a total rom backup which you would have done if you did the back up like I said in question 1. You can also press "backup rom" in Rom Manager. In my signature there is a "rom" and "kernel" which I use. You could try that if you want.
Good Luck

No, it depends on what rom you using. You would have to change the partitions back.

Yes, you need to flash a backtoext3 converter (try this) before restoring your original backup, as CM7 uses ext4 for the system-partition.
The backup includes everything you need: the boot-image including kernel (boot-partition) the firmware/OS (system-partition), user-apps, settings and data (data-partition). The only iffy part may be apps installed on the SD-card. To be absolutely sure move all apps to internal storage before backup. (This step is more than likely not needed, but it's good practice to have a complete backup and not have files dangling here and there.)
As for downloaded game-data, unless you format your sd-card (or move or delete the data in any way), the data will still be there when you come back to CM7 (if you do).
First press VOLUME DOWN and then POWER button altogether. You will enter RECOVERY MODE. On this mode, wipe all data (data, cache, dalvik, etc). There are 3 wipe data menus, take them all.
After wipe data success you should have stock rom working
Good Luck

So I had my phone working and decided to try a kernel found here.
I went on, flashed the kernel through cwm, and nothing worked (stuck at loading screen with continous reboots).
So I flashed my recovery image, rebooting stopped by stuck it was at the loading screen anyhow.
So, since I could not come out of it, I downloaded a stock rom (I was running stock by the way), flashed it (with smartflash), rooted it (superoneclick), installed cwm (now v5) and I'm back on.
So I flashed the recovery, and most of the data is back but I lost all the apps on the SD card.
The SD card is the same from which I flashed the recovery image through CWM, and all my music is still there.
So might it be possible that the apps are still there too?
What can I do?
Why all the SD apps disappeared?
Edit: ok maybe we're talking about internal SD card... may it be the CWM v5 doing recovery from a v4 zip?
had this problem very, very, often...
nobody really could help me, but i know, its because of problems with the android_secure folder.
so i´m not an expert and i really don´t know what s the reason, but i tried some things and sometimes it helped...
it can appear if something goes wrong when you install an app or move an app from phone to sdcard, or when you want to restore them with titanium or cwm.
the possibiltythat it happens increases when you do both at the same time or, move many apps at the same time p.e. with gemini or install many apps at the same time (p.e. with panda pc suite).
or if something goes wrong with a market update.
mostly, it starts that you can´t install apps anymore. after reboot all apps on sd are away.
with luck you can repair it and get the apps back.
-delete the market cache.
-delete file smdl2tmp1.asec in android_secure folder on sd card or in mnt/... secure.. damn forgot the path of the second folder where this file can be. gotta google for it.
-or create a new android_secure-folder. unmount sdcard. rename android_secure folder to something different, so that there´s no more an android_secure folder. put sdcard back in the phone, reboot the phone. there will be a new empty android_secure folder. shut phone down, put sdcard into pc again, copy all files from renamed folder to the new android_sd folder, put card back into the phone, restart it and wait. with luck, your apps are back again.
don´t now, maybe it helps when you delete dalvik cache and cache before restart. sometimes it worked, sometimes not.
in your case, your apps are away after restore and not because of install/move2sd issues... so in this case its important to completely delete android_secure folder before restore. make a fullwipe. and after fullwipe i would restart phone once, so that a new clean android_secure folder could be created. hope something helps.
edit:
i did a little trick, that my external sd is mounted as sdcard in my phone. so normally the internal sd card is the "sdcard" in the phone. so, cos you can´t put your internal sd into the pc, you gotta mount it with usb connection.
Thanks but I'm afraid in this case the content really got deleted after I reflashed the rom...
IS there a way to really save everything via cwm?
Or should I use another software?
Also if flashing baseband: what will get deleted?

If you mean baseband then the answer is no. It restores your ROM and all the apps including their data.

Assuming you remembered to back it up yeah.

Smartflash radio
NANDroid restore
Push new RIL

I don't think so.
Kdz tool and official updater didn't wipe data. (Aren't you ?)
They did change only baseband and systems.
But you have to nandroid backup to avoid bricked.
You may not think so, but it does.

Both Rusty! And myself always test new basebands and it definitely wipe /data.

dont know about kdz, official updater didn't touch my /data at all. i mean, my apps were just as before, the settings...
just use titanium backup and make sure the save location is in the sd card
For certain apps that have their own way of saving data, it might not always work.
I just can't find the correct answer in the posts I've read so far.
If I flash a kernel that doesn't work, and then I restore a CWM backup, why it wouldn't boot again?
If I reflash the stock rom and then restore a previous CWM backup, why something won't be there?
What exactly should I do in CMW to obatin a complete backup?
Or should I use something else?
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

all i can say.. do a nandriod back-up .. it restores all the data and the setting you left behind..

Can anyone tell me what, if anything, I should do about this error which appears after restoring a Nandroid backup? The phone seems to be working ok so far. I've done Nandroid backup and restore several times without errors before but obviously something has changed.
Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
I cannot see any file called "recovery log" in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder. There is a file called "recovery-update.zip".
I tried uninstalling/re-installing ROM Manager and then making and restoring a new nandroid backup but the result was the same. The backups are to the internal sd card.
I'd be grateful for any advice. I tried trawling around the forums for some hours as this seems to be a widely discussed issue but cannot find any clear explaination of the cause or fix.

do you use an external sd?
check if there is a clockworkmod folder in that.
Yes, there is a Clockworkmod folder on my ext/sd card. I wanted to do Nandroid backups there but the option to Use External Storage is greyed out on the settings page.
Right now, the only Nandroid backup I have in on the int/sd card

which settings page ?
in CWM you need to go to backup & restore and choose backup (this will backup to external SD).. there is another option to select backup to internal SD
I'm using ROM Manager (Premium) and under the settings there's an option to use external sd card but it's greyed out.

Use CWM directly to make backups to your desired storage
Can you tell me where to get CWM? I can only see ROM Manager on the Google Play site. I understand that RM is really just a front end for CWM but I'd have assumed the functinality would be the same.
Thanks again for the reply
if you are having hydracore the cwm will be already there. It's a recovery. you need to boot into recovery mode.

Hello I am newbie here.I know there is a thread for how to instal CWM recovery & how to flash custom roms, but I find that method very confusing . I have upgraded my phone to Gingerbead 2.3.6 using ODIN player (Build number:- DDKQ8). I have already rooted my phone using that zip file method. Now I want to install CWM recovery v5.0.2.6. Here are my questions.
1. Do I need to install CWM recovery v 4.0.0.9 first & then need to update it to 5.0.2.6 ? If so, how to do that?
2. After installing CWM, I want to backup my current OS,which is an official GB 2.3.6 update provided by Samsung for my country.How to backup it?
3.I still use 2GB sd card,so how much space is needed in my sd as well as internal memory while installing custom rom?
4.After installing new rom will my data stored in sd card (app backup files,music files,pictures etc.) get erased?
5.Please suggest me a good custom rom which has:- great battery backup,good interface, exciting features, fast response etc.)
Thanks in advance!
WellCome..
1) No, you can directly install 5.0.2.6..
2) In recovery You will get options for backup and restore..this will take the backup of your current rom and you can restore at any time through it..
3) No need to make any free space..if you are not using any ext partition..
4) Not At all..it wont touch your sd card data..
5) It depends on You,Which Rom you like..read their thread for more info of the rom..

Sorry for asking u again, I am going to flash Apocalypse final 9.7.2012 ROMhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700749 , but I have few questions.The installation procedure is as follows:-
Installation Procedure - Step 1 (rom)
1. boot into CWM5 Recovery
2. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
3. format cache/data/system/sd-ext
4. MOUNT DATA
5. flash APOCALYPSE-17.06.12
5. reboot and complete the setup wizard
What is mount data? I can't see that option in CWM 5 or is it suppossed to be mount/data ?
also it's a barebone ROM, so from where i can find essential apps like sms, mms, camera? also does bareback ROM contain google apps like gmail,gmaps,navigation etc. ?
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys I'm new to this forum but i've been a CD-ROM for years...
I have question about upgrading ViperROM to 6.2.1
I'm currently using ViperROM 2.7.0 with sense 5.0
Android 4.2.2
I use Titinium Pro to backup all my apps and....
my question is....how to upgrade from 2.7 to 6.2.1 the easiest way?
without any data lost?
do i have to use the data backup from ROM or i can just use the titaniumPRO for full backup?
please advice
I always copy and paste the contents of the sdcard to a folder for safe keeping on my laptop or usb drive. I wipe, data, cache, dalvik cache, system and user partitions. Reboot recovery, use adb sideload to send the rom.zip over and flash. Setup the phone and copy and paste everything back. The whole process takes min. 25-30 minutes. Works for me /shrugs, just my 2 pennies.
I would follow @DeathAngel66669 advice it is very solid. I also use Titanium Pro to quickly add back my USER APPS only with data. Never restore system apps.

I'm just concerning about my User App data, (whatsapp image, convo history)
so i can just do titanium pro and wipe the phone? cool!
Whatsapp etc backs up it's own data to a folder in your internal storage, when you reinstall it and set it up it will say backup found would you like to restore. Just make sure you don't wipe internal storage.
You could also try and dirty flash as you are on viper one already, just go into advanced wipe and wipe your caches only, do not factory reset and when installing the Rom also select don't wipe data partition.
But again as the others have said, make sure it's backed up first, if a dirty flash doesn't work, you'll be left with no choice but to reflash and wipe along the way.
