I think I need to reflash the android system onto my device, because I uninstalled the wrong files and now so many system features are broken (phone book won't open, fc when I try, gmail app fc on opening email, all user installed keyboards fc, surely many more but this is enough to tell me I need a reflash). Question is, where do my current backups stand? Will I be able to use them?? Please help, thanks.

Officially, you can't backup anything and all your data will be lost. If you were careful (maybe you did ?), you would use Titanium Backup and xRecovery to do full backups, but now you've messed everything up, it's not even safe to do a backup of a corrupted system...
To reflash, use Pc Companion or SEUS. You can also (not recommended) use custom flashers you can get from developping section...
Hi, thanks for your quick response. I forgot to mention of course I used titanium to fully backup everything, glad to know this can be used. So what do I do, how do I initiate the reflash process???
well, check the top sticky post..

If you have unistalled any system application,then you do only push that application to phone,after that restore the sytem data by Titenium backup.hope you have schedule backup...
if you have deleted some system files, then reflash ur fone by flash tool....you can only reflash the system.bin.(you need to root again)
hope it will help you......
Thanks everyone, all I had to do was restore my titanium backup (all missing) and I'm good again!!! Sorry I'm a girl that's a little new to this (however I have been following these threads religiously for a while now) so I just kinda freaked out when it all went wrong lol! Thanks

Heya,
Hence I haven't found anything about this topic (or I'm just dumb), I wanted to post this question.
What I basically want:
- Have all my Apps and their data
- Have all the settings
in one ROM I could flash onto my device in the case that I "accidentaly" brick my phone.
Is there a way to do that?
Cheers.
Use xRecovery.

Alright I am dumb xD. Haven't hought about this one going to test it out in a sec.
Thanks
Edit: So I just got into the Backup & Restore menu and backed up the system, I hope I'm doing everything right.
Sounds like it so far.
Ok I apparently have a folder inside the xRecovery folder. It's named after todays date and there are some system img files etc. in there so I suppose that's it.
Pretty much yes.

If you are talking about xRecovery, all you have to do it make 1 backup, this backs up ALL data/apps/settings (also stuff like call logs, SMS, accounts, boot-animation, themes).
I use restore my main backup multiple times a day when I'm working with ROMs.
If you are talking about a backup that can be restored with X10Flash, well I would also like to know the answer to that.
(how to generate SIN files?)
Is what you guys are talking about like creating a "backup image" like you would for a PC?

I've tried over and over to update this thing. I've searched around, tried to do the undo webtop mod with no luck. Factory reset it twice. I'm still on the original software that came on it and want to update really bad.
It gets about 1/5 through and goes to the ! android guy. When I pull up the recovery menu after the ! guy it gives an error with AppandSyncsettings.apk...any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I guess my question is has anyone else experienced this/know the solution?
Thanks
You need to sbf first.
Thanks! Do you have a link to that file? And is there anyway to back up my info?

I use Titanium Backup. Make sure you transfer the backup files to your ext or comp or dropbox, that way you can always get it back.

The most likely reason you can't get through the update is because you have either frozen or deleted one of the original Motorola apps. This will always stop future updates. If you did freeze any apps, unfreezing/thawing prior to updating will allow you to update without flashing a sbf. If you deleted files/apps, then you definitely have to flash sbf as was stated by WiredPirate.

+1 for freezing/deleting will fail the update.
I havnt done the webtop mod but I was assuming that was what was causing the moto check to fail. Do you know if that is a fair assumption or if anyone has reported succesfully updating with that mod enabled?

Yes I did, it's the same. Which is what's weird.
I have my p500 working flawlessly with v18.0 & froyo final. I recently installed the exact same setup on my friend's phone. The only problem is that she is telling me that the edge icon never appears / appears briefly and disappears. All the data settings are right according to what i've seen. (I've also installed the same setup on multiple p500)
She's not with me right now, and isn't quite sure to pull thru the nand backup/restore/flashing/ instillation and stuff.
The question is, suppose i set up everything she needs on my phone and nand back up it and ask her to restore that backup on her phone? Will it work? Has anyone tried it? I don't wanna screw this up for her.
Please assist me.
First: Wrong section
Second: Yes, it's possible, did the same to my wifes phone (we both have a P500).

Is exactly the same thing no worries. Just make sure you partition the sdcard properly like yours in case you want to restore sd-ext apps
Yes you can, as said above make sure sd partitioning is same. I used a stock rom nand backup that was posted on xda by another user when I wanted to take my phone to warranty services. It worked fine.
Did you backup .androd-secure?

You may want to try it without .android-secure and see if that works and/or wipe android-secure on the other phone. I'm thinking out loud here. I've never actually tried this so take it for what it's worth.

Android secure contains apps that are moved to the sd card (froyo apps to sd). So if you restore it you will find those apps. You can easily uninstall them later. Haven't tried this, taking an educated guess.
Suppose I have apps like widget locker making use of data from the sd card (the theme), will they be affected in the phone onto which they'll be restored?

Yeah, I suppose, if widget locker was enabled at the time you made the nand backup. If you really don't want any of your apps in someone else's phone then restore your backup to your phone, do a factory reset (or uninstall all offensive apps) , and then take another backup.
A few days ago i put on Siyah neweset 5.0.1 kernel on my S2 and overclocked but my performance hasn't increased much so i'm gonna put Ressurection Remix ROM now but the first step on the guide says to format my phone and i hate loseing my things, is there anyway to keep my stuff on the new ROM D: ? I'm not sure what to do QQ i don't wanna screw this up, also i'm gonna make a few backups, cuz 1 isn't enough.
Over clocking doesn't increase performance per se.
You can use titanium backup to backup and restore your current apps. Use SMS backup+ for your texts and call lists.
Images, vids, music etc are unaffected by formatting via CWM.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
If you want to switch to another ROM, I guess it's best to backup all your apps via Titanium Backup. As far as I remember, the list displays white apps, red ones and green ones. The red ones are system apps and you should backup them since they differ from ROM to ROM. The white ones are apps which you have installed on your phone (via Google Play...). The green entries are things like "Messages" "Phone call history" and stuff like that.. I guess you can backup them too.
You won't loose your contacts as long as they are stored on your googlemail-account. So no need to safe them.
Then just backup your current ROM via ClockworkMod (I guess one backup is enough :b - If you want to be 100% sure try to backup and right after it finished try to restore the backup. If it works (in 99,9% of all cases) you can just flash your new ROM - if it didn't work try to backup+restore again. As soon as you've got a working backup (I guess the first backup will be OK), flash the new ROM and restore the needed apps via Titanium Backup again. (Just download Titanium Backup right after flashing RR and you will be able to restore every single app again).
More and more ROM devs advise not to restore apps via Titanium Backup, but it always worked fine for me
Hope I helped you,

Don't be ridiculous.
What about something simple like "How to backup data before installing new rom?"
In any case you should have searched google or XDA first as there is plenty of topics on how to flash roms without losing data or how to backup all your apps/appdata etc.

I can't find the button to change tittle, it must be hidden under 3 layers of bedrock.
Anyway, i've been useing this rom since yesterday, it's awesome .. mostly
Some minor disadvantages, some things like Clock crash, won't update some things but that's normal.
My stock benchmark was 6800, now 6200 D:
Probably becouse the rom uses more RAM than stock.. Overall 8.7/10 <3
I'll keep testin.
EDIT: OH YEA! what were those "modems" it asked me when i was installing it?

You scrath my back, and I'll scratch yours
I have the TD-1010, I can and am will to help you out here, but I am running into a problem you seem to have already figured out.
I was googling the Internets for drivers to TD-1010 for Windows, for the same program/script/batch file you were recommending for rooting the TD-1010. I need to get said drivers before I am able to root the TD-1010 and backup redistribute said OS to you my good sir. At current the script can't find the device without the drivers. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon so I can do you a favor in return.
PS do you have the problem with it randomly freezing, or is that just me...?

So I looked up info on both backup programs, and they are both equivalent to using the add/remove OR uninstall feature of windows. I used Nandroid for the full images you already should have the link to my drop box. Since this is a full copy of my system I do require you not distribute it and remove any of my account settings you may find. Feel free to keep any of the apps I have already installed (they were all free anyways). Good luck

Any suggestioned would be greatly appericated.
Titanium back up creates compressed file with apk.gz extension. That is where the app is and you can use 7zip or your favorite util to get tin the install file which will have a .apk extension. Once you do that you can install the app. Copy the app to SD or via cloud drive like dropbox and install.
