You have to restore both App+data in titanium. Well you can try to flash rom without wiping data but its is risky and often your phone may not boot to home screen. But you can always try, many people succeeded O.O

Yes you can flash another with wipe data etc.. But you could do a nandroid backup of your good rom in clockwork mod and restore your rom exactly as before.

Noob questions. Every time I flash a new rom I become narotic, and I first disable any lagfix, then go to cwm, and factory reset, cache, dalvik, and batt stats all wiped. I'm assuming I don't need to do this if it's a full wipe rom? Can I even skip the lagfix part or is that always necessary?
Also if I'm upgrading a version of a rom, ex, apex 6.4 to 6.5 or any other situation same as this, can I just flash it without doing any prep before hand?

if it's a full wipe ROM than yes, the ROM does all the wiping for you. And if the OP states for you to disable lagfix before flashing than i do so.. also if your just doing an update you can usually just flash over one another. But its always good to check with the ROM dev and see if he suggests any special wipes or whatnot.

You can still do whatever your used to and are comfortable with. BUT this is what I do before flashing any rom.
I go to market and make sure all apps are updated.
Next I go to titanium backup and backup all user apps and system apps with data (I NEVER RESTORE THE SYSTEM APPS OR DATA THOUGH)
Next I boot into recovery and perform a backup (which saves almost Evey aspect of my rom I am on before flashing
I boot back up and then reboot into recovery again.
Then I install whatever rom I am flashing at the time.
I DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING OTHER THAN CACHE WHILE IN RECOVERY AND BEFORE FLASHING THE ROM.
I have NOT had more than 1-2 issues flashing anything since I started using froyo, so that includes any froyo rom, the gingerbread rom that first was made, then Continuum and on my second cappy the same except I also have flashed CM7 on it.
The one or two times I had issues ALL I ever did was boot into recovery and run restore from the previous rom I was on. Then reflash the rom I was trying to get on to. I really have have had NO ISSUES NOT wiping anything other than cache.
I look at it this way, if it works the first time I flash a rom I am golden and do not need to reset up everything. If I have a issue then I CAN start from scratch with a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvich cache IF NEED BE. At least then I am ON the rom I was trying g to go on in the first place.
Then after all seems good I will restore my user apps and some user apps with data with Titanium Backup. So MOST of the time I have changed roms and all is working with no issues in 10 to 15 minutes.
Again this is HOW AND WHY I do it that way. A NANDROID BACKUP and TITANIUM BACKUP are your BEST FRIENDS in these cases.

6.5 is a wipe version which would take care of wiping caches. You dont need to disable lagfix. But as someone said always keep a nandroid backup
Also you may want to post these queries in ROM thread for quicker response
I always disable lagfixes just for good measure. Most roms do a full wipe so there's no need for any of the other stuff.

If you've flashed a CM7 rom there's no way to restore a stock rom from backup taken through CWM5. The filesystem format is not compatible.
You'll need to flash stock from Odin.
Yeah, flash a stock firmware with Odin and then when you have done, install cwm recovery (because installing a new firmware erases everything so also your cwm recovery that you had) and try to restore your backup.

Wipe everything then re-flash ROM.
Reboot before flashing anything else.
For stock rom, go to download mode (power+home+vol. down) and connect to PC.
Get stock rom and ODIN.
Check out guide to using ODIN: ODIN for Dummies
format all wipe all install this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962762
You can not recovery stock rom over a CM 7 because the last one reformat the internal partition to EXT4 uncompatible with stock rom. So flash a stock rom with ODIN (possible the same you used for the nandroid backup) than restore.

I think you need to do a full format using ODIN..and reinstall CWM and install CM7 and try to recover your backup from CWM.:good:
Hi Guys.
I haven't worked much with CWM so far and couldn't find a proper answer in the threads here.
When I do a restore from a CWM backup I've not seen an option to choose just data or apps ... so I suppose the whole system including the rom and kernel will be restored. right?
As I'm happy to have CM 10.1 running after all finally, I'd just like to restore the data (SMS, etc.) from a CWM backup. Is there a possibility to do so?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
I don't think you can do that. I used titanium backup pro to restore only the apps+setting to do that.

You can do an advanced restore and just restore /data but it's not recommented to do this coming from stock and restoring on CM I guess...

Stock and CM use different bases, and therefore restoring data of Stock can bring over some incompatible data/apk's and this can and most likely will cause a bootloop, from reading i think i can establish the safest way when your changing Rom's is to full wipe and 'clean' install. However when going from nightly to nightly this is not needed, and some data can be restored between same android version Rom's, for example CM10.2 is 4.3.1, data may work on slimbean 4.3.1.
Hope this clears things up for you.
I would also suggest to do a clean install without data recovery. If you want your data you can use Titanium Backup for App data. For the other personal stuff you can make a backup to your PC..

CWM Recovery, URGENT REPLY!!
I faced this problem that my rom got stuck on boot image, so I had another custom rom zip in my sdcard, so to install that I had to format my phone, now I have that backup and I only want to restore system settings, apps, app data, my data(sms, call logs and stuff), I dont want to restore the system or anything else which will make it get stuck on boot image again, now which choices shall I choose in advanced restore to restore only these specified items?
Please reply urgently as I have to travel in a few days and I wont be able to do it over there.

I have been using Alliance Rom for about 3-4 months and there has been no problems so far.Last night i was browsing the internet and all of a sudden it restart and got stuck at the Gt-N7000 screen.Tried restarting the phone and rebooting it from recovery but failed.Is there a way to flash alliance rom again and still get my data back or do i have to wipe everything and flash alliance again?
My phone was bricked
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
If you flash alliance ROM again, without a wipe, the data will stay intact. And if you can enter recovery, the phone isn't in a brick for sure. In this case you can even take a nandroid backup and i advise you to do so ( take a backup in the backup and restore in recovery). Try flashing alliance again or else copy the data to your computer, I'm sure the phone is detected on the PC isn't it?!
I can enter recovery but do i have to wipe data before flashing alliance again?

Make a nandroid backup, wipe, flash rom again and after that you can restore apps and data from nandroid backup using Titanium Backup or other app with this functionality.
No, u can skip wiping data as you're reflashing the same ROM that you're currently running. But you ideally should wipe data for smooth functioning of the ROM, so you can also get a nandroid backup as i said and then restore the backup apps with titanium. Anyway just reflash the ROM without a wipe and it should work fine. Do check the alliance thread if they recommend a data wipe while installing the ROM everytime.

No formatting nothing whatsoever. There's never a need to format before flashing ROMs.

No need. Visit the thread on the Alliance ROM once and confirm
Actually u don't have to flash a new rom again if u have a sudden shut down n this is quite common nowadays
just simply go to recovery n do a backup if u afraid of losing ur data... after backup check is it successful backup
n then do a factory reset wait for 5 to 10mins once able to start up completely then go to recovery again n restore backup
choose advance restore n there will have some option ！choose restore data will do..
once u get used to it there's nothing difficult.. i'll suggest not to do any previous data restore n those
corrupted data will bring back the bootloop issue...

Well after i backup my data,i reboot recovery and check if it was a successfull backup.Fortunately it was.I factory reset my phone and switch it off immediately after it was done.The next day when i switch on my phone,the bootloop was gone!Waited for it to finish loading and once it booted up,i realised all my data was still there(my wodgets and apps)(Its a good thing for me).Its so weird because i remembered doing a factory reset the day before.Any idea what happened or how?

Sudden shut down most probably caused by high usage of RAM.
Bootloop might caused by maybe a 1yr old battery or different kernal, oc/uv n system task killer,flashing different rom
with backup n restore.
if u flash all the different developer's ROM in XDA n do a restore data u'll get ur answer "bootloop"
u can find philz fix bootloop but that's not really a solution.
try to uninstall unused app n unused system app to relase some RAM for heavy user.
when u flash different ROM try not restore backup data.
i don't think i can help much cuz we don't use the same ROM.
if u think ur ROM or Data still got issues u can test it by pulling out the battery during screen on.
pls don't try becuz i believe ur ROM n data not clean enough to take this action！
Hi there,
I recently rooted and flashed a custom ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. I'm very new to this thing and find everything quite overwhelming, but I want to learn.
I flashed this ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119219 (the v6 No Wipe version because I was petrified about losing my data if I factory reset), but the phone is now extremely laggy and buggy, so I want to go back to the stock ROM (so I can do a nandroid backup) and then try a different custom ROM like Dmod.
So, my question is, do I have to factory reset my phone to go back to stock? Or can I just flash this file (http://hotfile.com/dl/189271016/833...T-I8190N-BTU-I8190NXXALL6-1356151513.zip.html) using the CWN recovery menu without wiping? I'm asking because my phone keeps giving me an error everytime I try to backup using the CWM Recovery menu.
Thanks and if you need me to explain something in further detail, let me know.

That firmware is a zipped odin-file. Can't be flashed in CWM.
Make a cwm nandroid backup of your "/data" to your external sd (that's your installed apps)
You can also backup your apps and appdata using titanium backup or similar, for later restore.
Just remember to never backup/restore systemapps.
Backup internal sd to computer just to be sure, if you in any situation have to make a factory reset. Make sure any kind of backup is on your external sd before you make factory reset, or it will be lost forever

CWM has NO choice to backup/restore only parts of the device. Only a full backup is possible.
This is only in TWRP. Pity! I only use CWM because TWRP makes corrupted backups (three times) for me.
Or is it possible to pick out only DATA from the backup? And what is happen with the dalvik cache, which
consists of the byte-code for all installed apps, optimized for the ROM which created it?
"advanced restore and restore only /data". Is this the way in CWM that you mean @benz?
JackoMJ
Yes that's exactly what I meant, "advanced restore and restore only /data"
You don't have to worry about cache and dalvik because it's automatically created on the initial start.
thx for the information Benz (usefull in the future perhaps),
but i´ve decided to use Titanium Backup.
