Will I mess up my rom backup that I made with SafeStrap my extracting it in tituiam backup for installing apps and data from. Will it be OK for me to use to restore my rom when the time comes.
Extracting things out of your safestrap backup using Titanium Backup won't harm the backup in any way.

Okay so I'm kinda lost on how to do nandroid. After I wipe do I flash the ROM i want then do the nandroid or do I just wipe and do the nandroid?
Nandroid backs up your phone. I'd do a nandroid before wiping. Then I'd wipe and flash new roms and such. After you get yer new rom set up, I'd suggest making a nandroid backup of that as well.

I have a nandroid made and I just needed to switch to a sense rom to update prl and profile. Now I need to put it back on but after I wipe do I flash the the rom thats on the backup or just wipe and restore the nandroid?
Wipe the current install and restore the nandroid backup you want to return to.

Is safestrap safe for creating and restoring backups? I've only been using it to flash roms.
Should I backup and restore with webtop?
Just don't feel like bricking another phone.....
So I flashed CM11 on my dads phone, first taking a backup of the rooted stock that was on there. Now when I restore the backup (after full wipe) It freezes and crashes all the time!. It seems as soon as I touch the phone it stops responding to my touch. However the phone still makes the bubble/water sounds when i hit menu key. Please, please help since this is my dads phone.
Samsung TW based roms stock some apps in the /preload partition so did you use Philz recovery to make nandroid backup and check include preload (located in restore and backup => misc nandroid settings )?
if not then your backup is incomplete and flashing stock rom via odin3 is the best way to revert back.

Ah, my backup doesn't include preload. If I reverted to stock via Odin, would I still be able to restore just data?

After flashing using Odin, rooting using Philz kernel to get cwm, you can do an advanced restore of just data. It might not restore 100% data but should restore enough.
PS. Preload is only used if you had JB earlier.

so can i convert backup files to be used on other valid app
Hmm.. I don't know.. The way I know is,
Go back to stock, restore the backup, make a nandroid backup using cwm recovery, install the new rom, use titanium backup to restore. Keep in mind that data of system apps from touchwiz cannot be restored to omni or cm. So for those use apps like sms backup and restore.
Hi... If I do a nandroid backup then relock my boot loader, flash an ruu then restore the backup, will it restore my device to before the lock and flash? If so how would I back-up so that it doesn't do that?

If you make a nandroid and want to keep it you will need to copy it to your PC before running the RUU. And then copy it back to your internal storage afterwards as the Ruu will wipe your internal storage.
Restoring the nandroid would restore your ROM and apps to as it was before but you will still have the updated firmware. If your old rom and new rom are on the same base i.e both lollipop roms you can restore just the Data partition from your nandroid without effecting the new rom. But this is not recommended it updating from kitkat to lollipop.
You can also use titanium backup to backup your data then restore it to your new rom once you've finished updating. But again you will need to save your titanium backup folder to your PC before using the ruu.
In short if your updating from Lollipop to newer version of lollipop. You can use the Restore Data only from nandroid method.
Kitkat to Lollipop Titanium Backup would be best.
