Hi,
is it possible to make NANDROID BACKUP (via TWRP or ADB or another way...) just to be sure that I have all of my data, completely phone SETTINGS and apps settings in case something goes wrong???
P.S. with my old phones (ex. Galaxy S5 - 6.0.1 Marshmallow), TWRP Backup/Restore completely worked - boot, recovery, data, system etc. partitions. But now with my new S21 Ultra - Android 12, in TWRP BACKUP I can't see SYSTEM partition...?!?!
Thanks!

Hi there,
I've been using Samsung's XWJVI firmware (2.3.3) for a while and decided to have a look at custom ROMs. So I created a backup using CWM Recovery, flashed the latest Darkys ROM, played around with it and found that I'd want my old system back. After I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and chose to restore my backup, I did not exactly get what I expected.
What CWM successfully recovered:
- my wallpaper
- data such as photos taken by the camera
What CWM apparently forgot to restore:
- my launcher
- my apps
- my google account
- my settings
In other words, the current state of my system is close to factory defaults with slight traces of customization. What am I missing? Is my backup corrupt or am I restoring it incorrectly?
Hi all, I thought I understood rooting etc. when had my Samsung S5, HTC Desire etc. but a bit stumped here.
I have a rooted (rootgenius) Ascend P7 (Kernel - 3.0.8-00485-ge6e6a9b, EMUI 3.0) that I am happy with. Looking to use Xposed Installer to make some tweaks but cannot seem to backup beforehand...
I've backed up all apps in Titanium Backup. When I go to reboot into recovery (ROM manager) I get the EMUI screen with 3 options (Reboot System Now, Wipe data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition). ROM manager also allows me to backup, and says that there is a current backup (sdcard/TWRP/backup) but this is blank in a file explorer and when I click on it on the phone, it takes me to the same EMUI screen.
How do I install CWM or TWRP so I see them in recovery and can backup the system in a way that is restorable (guessing that Titanium Backup isn't that useful if stuck in bootloop for example).
Thanks
Any ideas on this as I would love to start using XposedInstaller etc. but only with this backup, many thanks.
Have you tried this yet?

It was a long time, i stayed on Samsung devices, Galaxy Note 1 and 3, and was habituated to Philz recovery (touchy CWM..) and now moved to TWRP, so want to know what options I have to check to made a nandroid backup??
i made a complete, with all checked, and it's 7 Go.....can I safely uncheck some options like 3rdmodem, cache, cust....or just uncheck data who is 4.6 Go
thank's...
Hi, please, I need help. I wanted to root my note 8 (exynos) using TWRP (with odin) and MAGISK. But at the reboot in recovery mode, TWRP asks me to wipe my data, something I don’t wanna do of course. The problem is i can’t go back because the system reboots in a loop and I can’t make a backup of my rom with all my data because it doesn’t recognize them, when I mount a partition I can’t select data. Thank you for helping me because I don’t wanna lose my files.
I would like to keep everything else the same on my phone.
- I don't know if that means I'll have to backup/reinstall everything, if that happens automatically, or what.
- I have the following installed: TWRP 3.4.0.0, Titanium Backup Pro, Frija, Odin, ADB (?)
I currently have "ALEXNDR.N960FXXU6FTJ5" that I got here (based on Android 10)
I think it was from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ase-v7-4-dex-gear-encryption-support.3847061/
If I want to follow those instructions, should I:
1) do a complete TWRP backup *first*?
2) follow the instructions to update the ROM
3) then restore from Titanium Backup?
As I understand it, the TWRP backup is *ONLY* if I want to restore the entire "disk image" and revert back to the ROM I have now, right?
You can use TWRP restore only if you mess something while flashing kernels, magisk modules, Xposed modules, etc .. it is also useful in your first OEM unlock to preserve vendor and ODM images so that you won't have to flash stock ROM again if something go wrong.
If you are asking about restoring apps, SMS and call logs, I highly recommend swift backup. Not for settings though. Personally, I stopped using titanium backup years ago since it is deprecated and last update was in 2019.
