Hey all,
I'm about to jump into rooting playing with some Roms. I wanted to know of the best way to do a complete backup just in case I want to go back to stock easily.
Thanks!

Has anyone got a nandroid backup that I could have?
Stuck in bootloop and want to find out of this could restore phone or if I have emmc failure.
Thanks in advance
I doubt anyone would give you their backup, since its filled with personal info and so on. Why not just wipe all and re flash the rom?

because i think phone has lost a partition block so cannot do it that way. Someone could have also backed up as soon as they have put a new ruu in so still a feasible request

Just flash a different Rom dude. Your boot loop will be fixed, install a Rom with a kernel built in, you can't go wrong as long as you wipe all cache and format.

I believe it is not.
A new rom is a fresh install, A backup holds all partitions structures and is designed to restore in case of a fault hence my problem

bro if you found please let me know.
i also barely need it.
if anyone has kindly upload ASAP.
I received the SGH-i957 for work and they told us not to add any weird apps. What I want to do is remove some the crappy AT&T apps to use less resources. I have rooted an EVO 4g and a HTC Arrive Windows Phone as well as my old HTC Touch Diamond. I have been reading the different threads and I am just curious what you guys think the best method is?
It really doesn't use more resources

I appreciate your response but I would still like to root it.

If your work said to not mess with apps then I wouldn't really root it.
If you don't care about that, then just follow the rooting thread. I personally like the kernel root method

I will go into more detail I guess. I want to backup how they gave it to me and run it custom, be it remove apps or a new rom. I am worried about some kind of privacy issues. With my HTC Evo 4g I could backup the original rom completely and then uninstall programs or install a new rom.

Flash twrp and make a nandroid backup then do your root process.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yeah, I am definitely rooting it. It is ungodly slow with only a few programs on it and it keeps using at&t data even though I have removed all widgets and have very few apps installed. I know that know one wants to hear me say this but every time I use Android I dislike it more and more. I am sorry if I offend anyone.

Ok, I got permission from the boss to root and either clean up the stock rom, remove crap, or load a custom rom. So should I just follow the guide in this and if I have to run a custom rom use the on in this thread. Do I have to use the twrp and nandroid backup to make a backup? Or can I restore the stock rom buy using Method 2 after I follow the Method 1 in the root guide?

Thanks for your help man. I want you to know you are not just helping me.
Hi
I tried searching for a noob help thread to post this but couldn't find one.
I just installed a custom Rom (trickdroid) and I want to restore all my homescreen pages and shortcuts the way they were. It's the same stock launcher and I have a backup of all the user and system apps using titanium, so I'm sure I just need to restore one of the system apps but I don't know which one. Can anyone help?

What does this help with.. ? Is it better to have this over TWRP / CWM?

TWRP/CWM is for flashing roms, doing backups, etc. The stock recovery is mainly flashed before returning for a replacement or repairs.

Hey I know we don't have an unlocked bootloader yet, but since we're rooted, is there an alternate way to do nandroid backups? Don't wanna have to redo EVERYTHING on my note 3 if I have to reboot or get a new phone

The best thing you can do at this point is use Titanium Backup or a similar app. Nandroid backups isn't possible just yet that I am aware of.
