I am new to these forms and was wondering if there was a good walk-through/guide for changing your phone data over when you are upgrading to a newer version of the same rom.
Thanks to your forms already I have no problem switching roms but I do have a few favorites I would like to keep updated without starting fresh. Pointing me in the right direction or any advice would be much appreciated!
-thanks

I may have solved my own question but I would like some further opinion's. I upgraded GSB from 2.1 to 2.4 then I merged all my old data to this version using the Recovery Mod... pushed new Google apps update and all seems fine. Forsee any problems with the current method?

Don't know what you mean by the "Recovery Mod".
I use the method I outline in my post here; about the middle of my post, in response to PieceKeepr, starting with my third paragraph to him.
"TB" in my post is "Titanium Backup" on the Android Market.
Ya what I ment by "Recovery Mod" was the Rom Manager ClockworkMod. Will check out your post, thanks for the advice.

I'm still not sure what ClockworkMod has to do with merging data, but as long as you know what you mean, that's what's important! Maybe you meant you did a no wipe (Dalvik wipe only) update? Sorry I'm having trouble understanding.
Not quite what I ment but probably the same result. What I did was Backup the whole current system (nand) currently running GSB 2.1 then did a system/data/dalvic wipe and installed the new GSB 2.4 CM7 booted it up with gapps etc. Made sure it was working. Then rebooted and went into recovery and restored just the user data.

Also thanks again for the advice on Titanium Backup it works good and I really like their use of just being able to restore data. I was looking for just an app, however because I am a Designer by trait I only overlooked their program because I didn't like the icon... silly me.

You're welcome. For a long time I swore by My Backup but once Titanium Backup was updated for Gingerbread it actually works better for me than it ever did all the other times I tried it before. Especially with the option in TB's preferences to restore apps to the locations that it backed them up from, since I use Apps2SD to move a lot of my apps to the SD card, so that's just one more thing I don't have to do.

I do like the data restore better on TB and of course MyBackup I did use before but it didn't have the options I was trying to find. Anyways what I did was make a complete system backup using ClockworkMod Recovery, then like I said installed the new version. Booted back to recovery and from the menu:
- backup and restore > - Advanced Restore >
Then I choose my backup "date bla bla"
- Restore data
Thats about it, hope that helps ~ let me know what you think.
I'm lazy, I just overlay my roms each time. I think I've been doing it this round since about GSB 1.6 or 1.7 when I had to do a full wipe because something got glitchy.
Previously when I was on KF, I went quite a while with flashovers.

for the second time in the last two months, I have begun not receiving texts or calls on my HTC Droid Eris running KaosFroyo v38. I hesitated and eventually decided against posting it there because I can't be sure it's anything in his ROM causing the issue (I may have been running Tazz's Froyo w/ Sense ROM the first time it happened).
I can send texts fine, and people are receiving them, but when they reply, I get absolutely nothing. I can make calls fine as well. When someone tries to call me, their phone says their call cannot be completed (this has only been tested with one phone).
This is becoming quite debilitating because I don't even know when people are trying to contact me, so any help would be appreciated.
NOTE: I have already tried activating the phone through Verizon. Hasn't helped.
I had a similar problem I wasn't receiving text messages. I ended up having to use the flashback21 rom. Everything is fine now.
what does that ROM do?

Any 2.1 sense based rom should fix your problem. You can make a nand of your current setup, flash any 2.1 rom you want boot it check text or phone call and then restore your nand backup for froyo. This should solve the problem but doesn't actually fix why it happened in the first place. How did you get them to start working again the first time? Most people that I've seen with this problem did this "reset" and I hadn't heard of the problem reoccurring but I wouldn't consider it a permanent fix. I personally have no idea what could be happening...not sure if Verizon is not seeing the phone as active since it doesn't have official software or what but I'm pretty sure it's something happening on their end and would have no idea of a way to prevent it unfortunately.
Edit: And you are correct it's not really a KaosFroyo issue as much as just a Froyo issue.
I'll use this opportunity to ask this: how does the NAND backup work (I think I've seen it in the recovery menu, but never used it), and also: whats the best way to backup/restore my apps and settings?

If you boot to recovery and you will see the nand option then you can choose nand backup....it will backup everything on the phone in it's current state including apps,settings, text messages and all. When you are ready to restore it you go back into recovery and back to nand and choose restore. You will only have one if this is your first time doing it but it will say BDS-XXXXXXXX where the x's are numbers that represent the date and time you made the backup(note the number of x's i put there is not the exact amount there will be). Anyway you choose that backup and it will ask if you want to restore it simalar to how it asks when you go to flash a rom. Its really a very simple process and very handy to have a backup. You can make as many backups as you can fit on your card. You can also copy the backups off the card to your pc if you want too.
wow. no more "app backup" apps from the Market for me! thanks for being so quick and helpful! Luckily, attempting to make a call just a second ago caused the phone to crash and reboot, which apparently fixed the problem (I got a boatload of texts as soon as the phone rebooted). Weird.

lol yeah rebooting the phone is always the first thing to try....nand does not replace backup apps though. It only backs them up for that current rom. When you restore a nand it restores the rom that was on the phone when you made the nand so you can't use it to back up info going from one rom to another or upgrading to a newer version of the rom because the nand will just reinstall the old rom.

You can use Titanium Backup, which is extremely popular. There's a free version on the market but I think the free version only does one app at a time. There's also My Backup Pro. Also here on xda you can find QtADB, which, while the phone is connected to the computer, you can use to backup and restore apps and their data. I actually like this way best so far. The backup files are still on your SD card, you just control the backup and restore from the computer.
It sounds like it may be stuck in EVDO only. If your ROM has EPST maybe you can change it.

Yes, exactly. There are other ways, but that's the simplest. You're welcome!
I backed up my stock os with clockwork recovery, and backed up my apps with titanium, I read that I shouldn't back up user data other than wifi and bookmarks due to possible problems. Do I need to do anything else as far as backing up goes? Will I have to reconfigure my apn and network settings to be able to make calls and use data service, or will bionix v include that when I flash?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It all stays....just be sure your backup is a 2.2 cause your gonna have problem if you run a 2.2 rom and try to restore a 2.1 rom
Well....I'm glad I asked. My plan was to go to bionix v from 2.1 stock rooted. So I'll just be better off downloading them again after flashing? Is there a full list somewhere of all the apps bionix comes with?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Restoring your apps from to 2.1 to 2.2 shouldn't give you a problem. I did this many times and never had any issues. Its only the system data you need to worry about giving you issues.
Sent from a Galaxy S far....far....away.
the apps, it will never give you a problem.
but restoring the whole system like a nandbackup will if you go from 1 firmware to another.
Other backups like launcher pro backups will not do anything either, they're all in your SD Card.

Thanks guys...one last question before I flash.
Will I be ok to backup and then restore on bionix v system (bloatware) like "thinkfree office" and "avatar" and "the sims" and "daily briefing"?
I ask because titanium doesnt back them up when I batch them as user apps so I have to back them up manually.

Hey.."there's an app for that".... yep in the DEV section is an easy tool called Android Customization Suite or you can put them back on manually
I may have to check that out. I think I'm going to go a different route with the applications.
One final question before I flash. I'm just about ready.
In titanium backup.....will I be ok to backup (in 2.1 stock) and restore (in 2.2 bionix) just the green text system data such a MMS settings and Voicemail dialer and my apn settings (only the stuff in green text) our does all of that need put in manually? I've read that its ok to restore green text system data such as bookmarks and wifi but wanted to know if the other green text stuff was ok as well.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The ROM DEV recommends not to install any system data or system apps from a TB...So I would say, if you went through all of this hard work to get yourself a custom ROM just to have to re-do it because of an incompatible file or data problem..then that would be on you..
If it were me I would not bring anything over from a 2.1 to 2.2 system. I would just put it back in manually
Right on man....thats what I'm gonna do then.
I checked out that customization suite and I'm think that will be able to help me get the system apps back on here that I want. I won't really know if I can get it to work til after I take a leap of faith and just flash the rom. With what everybody else has said about how badass team whiskey's bionix v is, I guess I should probably trust the overwhelming opinion and flash it. Then worry about how to correctly get the bloatware back on here that I want. Im pretty sure I know what I'm doing at this point. Just have to do it.
Thanks a lot for your help man.... I appreciate the time you took to give me advice....as well as everyone else.

It seems like every time I get ready to flash I come up with another question.
Do I need to copy the nandroid backup of my current stock 2.1 to the external sd or to my pc before flashing? I know bionix wipes the system automatically when flashing so won't it remove the nandroid backup?
** Nevermind....found the answer. Leave nandroid backups where cwr places them. If this is incorrect...someone let me know please**
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
sounds right to me...only way its gonna come up missing is if you format or delete the cwm folder yourself
Thanks for your help jmcghee. Finally took the plunge and Im rocking bionix with most of my apps and loving it. This thing is now a rocket ship. It blows my mind how fast it is. Its like going from a dell to an alienware. All I reccommend for you guys that haven't flashed yet but are thinking about it...read, read, read, ask questions and go for it. Its not as hard as it seems at first. And the noob guide is invaluable.

Quick question, when restoring a Nandroid backup, does it restore the phone exactly as it was when you perform the backup - as in all passwords, programs, settings ect.
I love flashing roms, but sometimes readding all my wifi, passwords, email, forums etc can be a pain.
Thanks!
Marc
Yes it saves everything and restores it back to that previous state with everything intact. Before flashing anything, it's good practice to make a NAND backup; if anything goes wrong you can restore it.
Yes it does. It has for me anyways.
GBeris 2.3.2
And save a copy of a recent backup on your computer somewhere just in case...
Excellent! I've been backing up everytime I've flashed a new rom, but never had to do a restore. Good to know incase I want to do fast swapping of ROMS.
Thanks!
I had this same question but mine is a little different. Say I did a backup while having GSB on here. Then I flashed a different rom. Then I did a restore. Does it switch me back to GSB or just add all my settings to the new rom?

Nandroid backup and restore is just like Norton Ghost on a Windows PC. You will get back GSB just as you left it if you Nandroid Restore a backup made while the phone was running GSB, with this caveat:
- the Nandroid backup and restore in Amon's Recovery does not back up the /cache partition, so the first launch will take a while as the Dalvik cache is rebuilt
- Amon's also does not backup or restore the .android_secure folder on your SD card, where the Froyo/GB ROMs install apps when you move them from internal to the SD card. So, if you had apps on SD on GSB, installed a new ROM and formatted the card, the Nandroid Restore (I believe) will not bring those apps back.
Just to add to what doogald said, ROM Manager with ClockWork Mod Recovery (it launches from Amon RA, so you don't have to flash anything and you still can use Amon RA all you want) does backup the Dalvik-Cache and I believe I believe it backs up the .android_secure folder as well.
recoveries
Something to keep in mind is that the amon-ra recovery is stable, and works very well. clockworks recovery works, but something to keep in mind is it sometimes bricks the eris. I don't know why. IF you don't care on way or the other clockwork recovery gets installed with the one click method of rooting.
Nand backups work great. If you like to switch roms a lot. I'd suggest to keep one rom as your goto rom, and remans it with a file manager keep it apha numeric, and no spaces in the filename. when you switch roms take a few seconds to wipe the phone, and then restore. This usually makes it the restore function as it was before things changed.

I'm taking the plunge this week. My phone is still OTA 2.1 baby!
The other thing I will say is that folks should stop *****ing about FCs with the new ROMs. I get them now running all the latest 2.1 apps if I don't power down the phone every night.(Don't know how that compares to rebooting?)
I would make sure you use the amon ra recovery since in my experience its been more stable.

I have been scouring the forums to find a detailed set of instructions to flash a gingerbread ROM and radio. There are a lot of part explanations but I cannot find one single post which gives you the step-by-step from start to finish.
It would be nice if there were a simple set of instructions for all gingerbread ROMS on the thunderbolt. However, if there is not, here is what I personally would like to do:
I am running The Perfect Storm v1.4 and Imoseyon's LeanKernel 2.6.0.
I want Gingeritis and Imoseyon's GB LeanKernel.
I am sure that someone has covered this somewhere, but I can't find it. Sorry for the classic noob question. Any help would be appreciated.
First you want to download your rom and kernel to your sdcard (duh )
You also want to find the thread in the Dev section titled "obligatory radio thread" or the thread that has MR2 or MR2.5 radios and download one of those. It should be named PG05IMG.zip, so verify that. Place this file on the root of your sdcard (not in a folder), and then reboot into recovery. Wipe data and cache,as well as Dalvik under advanced. Now that you have wiped, install your rom and your kernel. After this, don't reboot, but pull your battery. Put the battery back in the phone and hold the volume down button. While holding volume down, hold the power button and you should see the HTC bootscreen. If you're still holding both buttons it will take you to the bootloader. From here follow the instructions to flash your radio (this is all you can do if the PG05IMG.zip file is on your sdcard. After the phone does its business it will prompt you to reboot, so be sure to do so. There you go
Make sure to hook your phone to your computer and delete the PG05IMG.zip file when you're done

The only thing I'm shaky on is how to handle renaming the files between flashing the radio and the rom while in recovery.
Also, with regards to backups, I have two questions.
1 - after I use clockwork to do a nandroid backup, do I need to move it from the card. In other words, will flashing effect the nandroid backup such that I should copy it on to my computer.
2 - If I use titanium backup to back up my apps, will I need to do anything before flashing to be able to restore them when I'm in the new rom?

To address the re-naming of files whilst in recovery, you can mount your SD card from clockworkmod recovery by going to mounts and storage > mount USB storage. After you've mounted, just use your Windows/MAC/Linux interface to organize and re-name files.
Regarding your last two questions, no and no. Nandroids, Titanium Backups, SMS+ backups, etc. all save to your SD card in one place or another. So unless you plan on partitioning and/or formatting your SD card before you restore your various backups, then you're fine. However, if you do wipe your SD card at any point, either accidentally or purposely, it is always good to have a copy of it somewhere, so I always like to make sure my SD card is on my computer somewhere with at least one nandroid on it Hope this helps! If you want step-by-steps for going from Froyo to GB, I can help you out with that, just holler.
LAST QUESTIONS (I hope)
After I've flashed the new rom, I've read that you can restore user apps, but not system apps. So the first question is, if reinstall titanium from the APK, will titanium find the backup information that's on the SD card? Second, can you restore the user data as well or will I lose all of that information. If so, can I get it back?
You guys rock. I'm pretty sure this will be a helpful thread for a lot of people like me who need a little reassurance that they won't brick their phone.

Yes, reinstalling titanium backup and using the restore feature is exactly the intended use. Unless you've manually changed the default backup location, it will find it on its own and you can restore both the apps themsevles and the user data (but only if you've backed that up within titanium as well!) However, I don't think titanium backs up sms/mms messages, so you'll have to grab smsbackup+ or a similar application to do that (its free ) Best of luck!

On the subject of pulling battery while in recovery. For me at least, an easier option is to reboot into bootloader using adb. After flashing your Rom and kernel just type adb reboot bootloader in your command prompt, and no battery pulling required.

Actually using TB root (free) you can also batch restore apps rather than individually restore., you just click on menu after clicking on backup/restore, and then select batch and it'll show you all your options.

You can batch in both versions of Titanium, what he was saying is that with premium you can batch restore your apps and not have to click install and ok on each one after they install - it skips that step, which for me was annoying.

This is what I prefer, but I noticed a lot of people like to flash when they're not near a computer

Sounds like bootloader reboot option would be a good addition to CWR.

Can you restore user app DATA or just the apps themselves?

You can restore both the application data and the actual .apk

I just flashed from VirusRom (froyo) to Das BAMF 2.1 Remix. I have tried both the 2 and 2.5 Radio I found in the forums here and I can never connect to 4g. 3g seems to be fine, but I can never get 4g and I am in a very strong 4g area (normally have full bars). Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

I myself had some issues with radios as well. I'm not sure if you are having the same problems as I was but here is how I fixed it:
1. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik (3 times each, just in case...), re-flash your kernel (here's a shameless plug if you don't already have a favorite kernel - Imoseyon's LeanKernel is killer).
2. Once flashed, make sure your radio of choice (MR2 has been very good for me so far) is on your SD root named as PG05IMG.zip (you can rename or copy the radio by mounting the SD card in recovery by selecting mounts & storage -> mount usb and doing your business there), either pull the battery and power up holding the volume button as described above in this thread or use adb (I found using adb more simple). For adb, type "adb reboot bootloader" - once in hboot, select bootloader and your radio will flash. Once done reboot.
See if that helps as it did for me. If it doesn't, there are plenty of other very clever folks with their eyes on this thread who can help you better.
Best of luck...
Hey guys,
I am having problems with the Neutrino rom. I have just updated to 1.4-S and tried to restore just my data from a backup I made in RomRacer's Recovery. Everytime I try this and reboot into the system I lose the Android keyboard and The keyboard I do have, Thumb Keyboard 4 crashes. Also, I cannot open the Market to try and reinstall the app, but if I wipe data the market works fine but still no keyboard. Is there anyway for me to fix this.
Use titanium backup? Works every time for me. Wiping is the best way if you want to use the "updates" aka the S release.
I don't use romracer anymore so I can't test your issue.
Go back to 1.4 until he fixes the wp7 keyboard

what do you use instead of romracers recovery?
I tried Neutrino...really liked it but I don't have any of my current apps when I try to restore with TB. For some reason it shows stuff like 4-5mo ago.

Go to cyanogen mod settings check off "Use internal storage" then restart your phone. The backups should be there then.
I'll try that thanks
