No they dont.
It probably reverted back to an image that is stuck deep inthe framework-res.apk as the default wallpaper.
Can you tellus what the image was?

i dont htink they do unless you have said so.
Backup your personal stuff and do a repair in pccompanion...that will wipe everything.
or, if you are rooted, goto recovery and format every partition you can, then flash a stock ftf, then repair in pccompanion
lol but any clue how to do that...... man do not be disturbed to answer any more because am not that smart in doing such thing unless there is any guidance how to do that step by step

Google does backup your wallpaper if you said Google should keep a backup of the device at first install.
It's in:
Settings> backup and reset> keep settings on Google servers
(or something like that in your own language, I translated it from dutch to English so it could be other words are used)

where is the folder that contains the SMS messages. i want to back them up before i flash to a new ROM...
pleease use ppcpimbackup and the search function
can it be done without 3rd party app?
ppcpimbackup IS 3rd party app. there are many apps to do a backup, but the standard is ppcpimbackup. use of other backup method to migrate form a rom to another is strongly discouraged by cookers
as ppcpimbackup is free, i don't see any single reason to don't use it
An alternative (better imho) solution is to use Microsoft's new My Phone service.

unfortunately it does appear to not restore them at times, usually when you're in the middle of nowhere and have to hard reset..
at least pimbackup keeps everything on the sd card, where it can be restored at any time at all.

I will admit although I am a seasoned mac user and program specialist im totally lost with my fairly new Touch Diamond,Sprint, I have don many hacks and mods and i really like the phone. I would like to try different roms but i will only do so if i can totally back up the phone, I mean so i can just restore to the exact same way it is now Is this possible? Sorry for the possibly lame question. Thanks,

Hi
I use SPB backup.U can download CAB file from spb website.
But i never restored what i backedup.(exept contacts)
My backup file 30 mb and it does not contain any pictures,videos,music.
U can try do backup then uninstall some programs and try to restore.
That looks great.....but im on osx, so its a no go =/

U DONT need computer to do a back up or restore,unless you format internal storage on device.
Install the program and do the backup.
The back up is stored on internal storage,you can keep the .cab file of the backup program there to.
So when somthing wrong-(wipe device) and after fresh install of windows install spbbackup .cab and then restore what ever you backed up.
Somthing like this
and forgive my english
ah very nice. thank u muchh
Is there a way to "image" the phone, so EVERY thing is backed up? Like installed programs, settings, contacts, colours... everything?

There are many backup options available. You can use an app like Sprite Backup or Sashimi to backup anything you want to keep including the registry. Microsoft has the MyPhone service as an option.
You can always flash back to the shipped rom to get your device back to factory state. If you don't flash your device and you do some tweaks/hacks that screw it up you can always hard reset and start fresh. Good Luck!

Most backup options won't do a "complete" backup - like an "image" of the phone that can be put back on so that there is absolutely EVERYTHING on the phone back on it.
I'm talking like putting a ROM on, but it being my entire phone - settings, documents, call log, pictures, installed programs, etc.
The reason being is that I already had to hard reset earlier this week, and it's a pain to have to do EVERYTHING over again.

I don't know if there is anything like what you want yet. I was trying to help the OP.
I think the closest thing you can get right now is Sashimi but I seem to remember that someone was working on something similar for frequent rom flashers.

Well its not completely impossible, you can make a nanroid on each rom you have and restore it to get the rom back, along with all of your apps.
Whats the process.. could you tell me step by step
U have desire rom installed... boot into recovery. Nandroid backup, remember the date/timestamp.. wipe. install CM mod use it for however long you want. when you want to switch back to desire, boot into recovery. Backup CM mod.. Wipe, Restore Desire backup. the switching process will be several minutes every time. I also recommend doing a little nandroid cleanup every so often and delete old backups in the nandroid folder on your SD card. I tried this for about a day before just sticking with stock look and CM mod.. not a fan of sense ui and Flash Lite is pretty Terribad anyways.
Thanks Sir. I have another problem now.. I didn't want to make a new thread.
I backed up all my contacts before doing anything by going to export to SD. Saved it as a v. card file
But when I import after the MOD, i only see contacts with emails, when I go to show only contacts with phone numbers it only shows me 5 people?
Even stranger, when I open in outlook, It shows only 1 contact!
But when i right click the file, and open in notepad and do a search i see all my contacts..
I'm confused, I dont wanna enter all my contacts by hand. Help?
Your contacts should automatically be restored..if your signed into Google account that is.
contacts > display options > your google account ... open it and make sure you got all the sub groups checked.
... I got tricked once. Maybe this is your issue ?

You could try reverting back to 4.3 then update to 4.4.2 by installing a custom rom.

By any chance your extreme lag also affects the audio performances? I and a friend of mine had in the same period (for 2 weeks) EXTREME lag, signal lost on mobile network. The lag was so powerful that even music was interrupted. The only way to get rid of this was rebooting the tablet.
The most awkward part is that the bug persisted over ANY KIND OF ROM/KERNEL. Even the official one from Google Developers (any android version).
Best part: It was fixed by itself. Lags started to be increasingly rare and at some point they stopped.
I tried to catch some logs...at the moment of failure, just once they pointed me to some lines in the source code...so I quit trying to figure it out what happens..
I had the same problem, I solved it installing SlimKat, but probably you can solve it with any custom rom, I tried many times to restore 4.4.2 but always the same, only installing custom roms seem to solve it...
I remember it, is like a nightmare to me, turn the tablet On and let it 5 minutes before open any app, open Google Play and see how it lags, installing apps always causing freezing... It remembers me my Windows XP years...
At the beginning i let it thinking it will solve itself, haha, after months I was about to broke it with a stone

If you want to keep the official rom you can just try to reflash 4.4.2 wiping everything, just copy to PC the files you want to keep and after flashing copy again to tablet, i would recommend you to copy only important data, not everything, and specially not copy the folders with strange names that you dont know what they are

Before flashing anything try to restore the tablet, copy all your stuff to PC and format it by going to settings / backup and reset / factory data reset and checking to wipe all on internal memory/sdcard
It will wipe all your data, apps and everything, so be sure that you dont forget anything to be copied to pc.
Maybe it solve the problem without flashing
About root and flashing:
You dont need it, but you can root it if you want after flashing,
I dont know how much you know about flashing and all that, so Im gonna make you an quickly tutorial
Basically all you need is:
Nexus root toolkit from here: www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
4.4.2 firmware (can be downloaded directly from the Nexus Root Toolkit)
And be sure that you have copied to PC everything you dont want to be deleted, you can just copy all to PC and after flashing copy to tablet only what you want...
On tablet turn on USB debugging, on developer options (To unlock it go to settings /about tablet /build number and click it many times until it says "you are now a developer", then go back and you will see it)
When its done follow the Nexus Root Toolkit instructions to "flash stock + unroot" (by clicking a button with that text) you should select Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H) and check the option "automatically download"(dont remember what the option says exactly)
And the tool will download it and tell you when you have to do something. Just dont disconnect the tablet until the tool ends its job
Maybe you should install some drivers if you get an error message like "device not found"
If you want to know more about insalling drivers, you get any problem or something else just tell me, but maybe im gonna make you wait because tomorrow is my birthday and I wont be checking it for few hours.

Be careful about "Returning to stock" method as I think Google broke their "flash-all.bat" from the arcvive of Android 4.4. Flash every file by your hand. I used that idiotic flash-all on any android version, but on 4.4 it completely broke my motherboard by flashing wrong boot.img.

Okay, I was no sure that you also format "SD card" factory reset do not delete user data/sd card on some devices and Im not sure if in N7 you have to check the option
Try the 2° option but take a look at this comment:

If thats true then try to flash 4.3 and install 4.4.2 by OTA, just select 4.3 instead 4.4.2 when you are about to flashing
Ok,
I flashed the nexus 7 2012 directly to the factory 4.4.2 using the nexus root toolkit, and everything is working fine without problems, at least for now.
The tablet isn't giving exchange errors, and doesn't hang everytime, but I only used it for some minutes, lets see how it works after some days/intensive usage.
Anyway, as I said, I flashed to 4.4.2 directly using the toolkit, and it worked without any problem
Thank You!
So all of a sudden the s21 is asking for password after restart. I use the same password or 4 variations of it for these accounts. However I cannot login. I can goto web or new device and log in to my Google and Samsung accounts. But the device does t want to allow this.
I’ve seen options to flash firmware back one, I’ve done this in past. And can walk through most options. I tried ADB. But it is not enabled. And that’s become a major issue. If I could do any kind of backup, retrieval of the photos and contacts. That’s all I care about. The rest is not a big deal.
Anyone have any kind of insight? Direction? Thoughts? I can see the device in find my, but there aren’t any options to unlock. Just send message and erase.
I am willing to try almost anything, and if there’s a paid service I will try that. I’ve never seen this screen before, and have never had this issue. It does not make sense.
I purchased a new device and setup with passwords no problem. But there isn’t a backup on Google of the phone there. I tried wiping tge cache and that didn’t help either. I attached a photo of what the screen looks like.
Fwiw. I have photos of wedding and brother that just passed. i don’t want to lose those. I am desperate for any answer. Someone with tech support said I could send device to LV and they can do it. Takes two weeks and phone might not be useable afterwards.

And we didn't solved this problem
This happened to a friend of mine and i was able to "solved" it because he had a custom recovery TWRP.
I copied his files to a PC, while the phone was in recovery mode, then do a factory reset.
Later i found out that was an easier way to unlock the phone:
Remove /Bypass Lockscreen With Recovery
Recently when i restored my data using TWRP i faced a problem at lock screen. I was not able to unlock my phone with the pin i set Earlier..So after so many attempts i was able to find a solution for that problem.(works with pattern,pin etc)...
forum.xda-developers.com
But all this requires a TWRP recovery. If you don´t have that, i guess that the password you need is the one that you have set on the device, while configuring fingerprints.
If you have "find my phone" enable, you should be able to reset that password using a browser on a PC...
Have you found out any other solution?
