I have had some trouble with my phone since dropping it.
Now sometimes it does not turn on and it took me an hour or so trying to turn it on, (it made the vibrate sound but nothing on screen at all).
And my pc/laptop does not recognize the phone when i plug it via USB although the charge icon changes :S
the last backup i made was many months ago with pc companion.
Is there a way i can make a backup of all messages/numbers ect..
I am planning on getting the exact same phone tomorrow so would like to just swap it all over.
Thanks
Have you installed Clockwork Mod and can access to it? It has a backup option.
By the way, if you can't use USB how do you plan to move the backup from the phone to the PC in order to move it to the new phone?
If you just want to backup contacts, messages, call log, calendar. You can use "Super Backup" from play store. No root needed.
To backup apps, you can use "AppMonster".

Stock Backup and Restore app does the job, just remember to choose the SD card as the backup storage. You can choose what to backup, including third-party apps and their settings.

Obviously, but I wrongly assumed that he couldn't boot on Android and was stuck at boot (that happened to me a while ago) , if it's not the case then there wouldn't be any problems if he owns a MicroSD.

The phone is currently on, but if it's turned off it will not start again for hours, takes ages trying to get it to turn on.
Update on this:
Managed to transfer ALL my pics and vids (contacts.sms and convos) via a file manager over wireless (took hours lol)
What do you guys suggest i now do with this phone? what would need replacing? or be causing the SD card and usb not to work? (it charges via USB, but i have to plug in and unplug a few times)

Hey all,
please I need a help! .. I'm asking if there is a solution to back my apps and pictures .. etc, 'cause today I lost all my apps and pics, videos
and thank you !
Could you be more specific ? What happened exactly?
If you did a format of your sd while flashing a rom, and you did not made a backup of anysorts(using Titaniumapp , nandroid) then you`re pretty much screwed.

I'm going to jump on this thread as I need help too. My Samsung Galaxy 19000 started turning itself off and back on a few days ago and today it has a blank internal memory and sd card. I have lost all my apps, pics music etc. Is there any way to get these back? My phone won't connect to my pc anymore too.
Your Apps should be eaysily recreated with your google account. Have you installed kies to your PC in order to have the driver installed?
---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------
But I really d`ont understand what you`ve done, because the only way to loose all these things is to format the internal SD card. Even if you would have done a full wipe, the private data would still be there and before doing this there are normall two request like : Do you really want to do this? If you do this all your data will be lost.
Stupid thing. Virus?
My phone says available internal storage - none and same with SD card. I'm going to take it back methinks
This program let you backup your files to pc. Somewhere is a thread about it but i cant find it

Titanium backup and backup master are two good apps you can use to back up your stuff.
However, sometimes Titanium created some stability issues when I restored apps after flashing.
If you have accidentally formatted your FAT32/NTFS sd card.
You can use a basic windows utility for file recovery. "Recuva" is simple to use. It works well, as long as the card hasn't had new data added.

Hello guys. I have a Ace S5830 in CWM 5.0.2.6 and just flashed Maclaw's CM 9 RC3. Now i'm trying to restore my backup to the SD card. I connected the USB and opened kies but it's not recognising my device. Then i went to the removable disk and it says please insert a disk into F:/
So how can i restore my backup to the SD card?? thank you
Go into recovery, click mounts and storage, and then plug into computer. Then, mount usb mass storage and device should be recognised. also, make sure you have the correct drivers for your Samsung.

But is there no other way to do it? I mean i've used kies for backup and restore until i used this ROM. So because of this ROM kies isn't recognising my device?
Ac. to my knowledge ur phone is rooted n the warranty is expired so Kies wont recognize ur cell.
hit thanks if helped
Chuck that Kies !
Dude ! Kies has always sucked !
Why don't you just forget that !
and the reason for kies not detecting you device might be because your device is rooted.I'm not sure about that !
But you can go to CWM recovery ....then mounts and storage and select "MOUNT SD CARD"
Then select "MOUNT USB STORAGE" and connect it to ur pc and transfer what ever you want.
That's the Quickest way ! :good:
Also, next time, try to back up with the app called titanium backup as it is universal for all phones and highly recommend.

Hey i did all that and i found that i already had the files on my SD card. I'm able to access music and photos but not apps! And my contacts are gone. very confused
I did what u guys said and i copied the files in my backup to the F:/ and it started copying and while it was copying fruit ninja.asec from .android secure and then it hangs. Then when to access F:/ it says there is an I/O device error. So i tried again and same thing...Any suggestions?
kise sucks, the only purpose of kies is for our phones to be detected, we needed the divers of kies..haha never to use it as to back up..CWM is the best when backing up sytem and image
If your contacts were saved onto your Google account, they should sync automatically when you sign in. If not, you have to have backed up the contacts by exporting them to either the sim or sdcard. If you did not do that, then you cannot get them back. Also, im not sure about the app sync problem, but if you go to play store and sign in with the same account as before, you can go to my apps and redownload them from there. Hope i helped

Ohhh. Ok i lost all my contacts forever then I signed into my google accounts and apps aren't there in "my apps" but they're there in "all apps".
But before flashing the ROM( that i currently have) i backed up all the data to the PC! I checked on my SD card and found that all the data was there but the apps weren't there on the phone! So then i recopied the backup (on my PC) to the SD card but then i had tat problem i mentioned above.
Well i had 2.3.6. stock before i rooted and got maclaw's ICS ROM and i partitioned 256M of my SD card using CWM. Does that affect anything?
Thx a lot! Sorry i'm very new to all this

I guess you din't get it right ! Read the below carefully now and hit the THANKS button if you understood and if it was helpful
See since you din't sync your contacts to Google Account or moved it to the SIM card it's gone forever ! Nothing can be done !
It was useless backing up with kies ...so next time just don't open that idiotic software !
You should have backed up using CWM Recovery ! But never mind ..you are new to this
You are able to access you photos,songs and other stuff because they are stored on your SD card and by rooting or flashing a ROM ..nothing happens to your SD card !
After flashing a ROM ..your apps wont remain there ...because you factory reset your phone before flashing a ROM !
But still your app data will remain in SD card ...meaning ...Suppose before flashing a ROM u used to play a game on ur STOCK firmware and u had completed 5 levels of that game and that gets saved on your SD card ..now if you install that same Game on ICS AOSP ROM now ..you will find those 5 levels completed
So you need to download your apps again from Google play ! and partitions dont cause any problem
Wohaa !! That was the Longest ..I Have typed on XDA ;p
No it shouldn't affect anything, but just to clarify, what version of clockwork do you have? Also, were you able to reinstall the app from play store?

Yeah i know that i erased my SD card data. I downloaded the apps again but the app data isn't the same as when it was on stock.(for example i had fruit ninja where i unlocked everything but now it's all lost and same with other apps also) So maybe something is wrong?

Sorry i keep asking q's. But is there no solution to this? I'm not able to even transfer my previous backup data(before installing the ROM) to the phone as it says I/O error...So i'll have this problem each time i flash a new ROM?

No ! No ! Nothing like that ..you won't have these problems all the time !

See to restore your backed up data ..you don't have to move those backed up files to ur SD card that won't do the job.
Since you have backed up using kies you will have to restore through that software only !

Moreover I can't access the phone from PC, nor to the phone memory,nor the SD. The PC can't finds the right drivers. Useless to say that with previous ROM (Benz ROM) I didn't have any of these problem

Hi,
if other SD cards do work with this ROM, you might want to try re-formatting the non-working one (and do a backup first! ). Either with your desktop's card reader or within CWM.
Btw, what ROM are you on, could you please provide some more details (as listed in "Settings" -> "About Phone")

I have an LG G2 VS98039A (5.0.2) So obviously I have no flash drive.
I want to install Blisspop.
I have rooted, installed SU, TWRP, bought and installed the paid version of Titanium Backup (probably a mistake).
I want to have a complete backup to fall back on if I mess up my ROM install. It appears that if I go at if backwards (connecting to computer with USB then opening up the phone files on my PC) that many of the folders are empty.
I do not want to use the cloud.
Surely I am missing some obvious thing? Please help me, I'm not computer illiterate but I haven't messed around with phone modding since my old blackberry back in 2009.
Thanks in advance!
Do you know how to make a nandroid? Create one then copy it to your computer. That's your backup.
I have a USB OTG adapter that I plug a USB drive into. That connects to the phone as external storage. I create a nandroid there.
Titanium Backup still has it's uses. It was more valuable years ago but I use it to freeze those Verizon apps I can't uninstall. It's also good at uninstalling system apps. Anyway good luck.

I have a Nexus 6 with a weak battery, and just acquired an identical one with a good battery. I would like to "clone" the old one,
I tried adb backup, but its far from making a complete copy of everything.
twrp backup also does not really copy everything, and I as far as I can tell wants to do it too an an internal file. Not practical since my phone is almost full.
Is there some way to really clone onto identical hardware?
Twrp backup and restore, and Titanium Backup and restore should be good enough

It's also a viable option to use an USB thumbstick via otg to make backup from twrp and then copy titanium backups on the stick too, restore it on your 2nd nexus and voila
