Rooting will not wipe your phone. Who told you that? What's your ROM?

Please provide answers to the following questions:
1.What's your ROM details?
2.What kind of data are you interested in having up?
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
You don't need root to make full copy of your data; even not rooted phone has /data partition mounted as r/w (beacuse if it would have been mounted as r/o, you couldn't modify your phone). Logical? :>
Rooting does not wipe your data.
[1] If you're on Gingerbread (2.3.3 - 2.3.6), flash CF-Root for your firmware. You won't lose a thing.
[2] If you're on Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3 - 4.0.4), you have two options.
OPTION 1
Download ADB, and run this command:
adb backup /all
This will do a full backup of your device. Use adb restore backup.ab to restore to the backup.
OPTION 2
Flash Siyah for your firmware.

Proceed to recovery and flash it a second time and it should work. It might have to do with the CWM version you were running earlier.
Cheers!
SuperROM is only for i9100G!! While CheckROM is only for i9100!! You need to reflash superROM! Or at least to restore a backup...

That means look under your battery. What does the label there say for model? If it says "GT-I9100G", then you have to be MUCH more selective on what you flash to your phone.

No you can't. That's also for I9100 ONLY.
Thanks to all for help..
I've got a question about changing ROMs also. I'm currently on LeoMar75 Rom Revolution v2.4 and I'd like to change to the newest CheckROM.
From reading the thread, the process is:
Titanium backup
CWM backup
Get into the CWM recovery
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Install the wipe version of this ROM
My questions:
1. What does a titanium backup do?
2. What does a CWM backup do?
3. Where are the backup files stored? Do I need to copy these backup files to my computer?
4. What do I do after I've installed the new ROM? How do I restore my backups?
5. What do the backups actually restore? Will I automatically get all my apps back? Will I keep my user data (e.g. text messages, whatsapp logs, high scores in games, photos, etc)?
I've looked around a lot but and I can see a lot of people saying these same steps but I can't seem to find a description of what they actually do
I appreciate your time, thanks guys!

Differences between CWM backup aka Nandroid backup and Titaium Backup
First of all , Nandroid Backup is NOT an app. You will have an option of a FULL backup of your phone as it is condition at time of backup using a BACKUP choice in ClockworkMod recovery. Your backup here is often called a Nandroid backup . All your phone's data, apps, settings, roms, kernel etc is FULLY 100 % backup, Under this ClockworkMod recovery you will also have option to RESTORE 100 % the phone status
Titanium Backup is an APP which requires phone to be rooted. You can use TB to backup all your apps and its associated data. You ONLY can use TB in a working phone . You can't restore anything from TB if your phone crashes and cannot be rebooted. TB does not backup your kernel/roms.

Usefull info, Thanks again..
Ok here it is, treat me gently as I'm no expert. I have currently running ICS 4.03 LPD + CF-Root. I first flashed 2.3.6, then jumped to Lp8 and now LPd and never have wiped my phone. I have a lot of unused apps and was thinking in doing it.
Question: Will I loose Root? or apps like CWM and such? What about the info in my external SD card? Anything else i must take into consideration?
thks in advance

You will not lose root or cwm manager as that is in the system apps. You will lose all the apps you have downloaded though. But if you have Titanium Backup, My Backup pro or Rom Toolbox, you can backup all your apps and reinstall them once you have rebooted.
[EDIT] Also wipe delvik cache when you do a data/factory reset.

Cwm format data system internal storage dalvik.
Flash using Odin.
Went ahead and restored a backup from cwm recover. Should i try again and wipe with the code you gave?
If your backup has issues you can try.
It's a random softbrick, no changes have been made for months, so I've not backed up for ages, I want to svae contacts and messages and app data.
Will odin wipe data, can it be repaired with CWM no wipe flash?
Long version.
I've been using ICS for 4 months.
I did a wipe and fresh install on the release of the official GB ICS.
I then used clockwork mod to changle toggles and clock, then triangle away.
Things were ok until a month ago when I hit the App to SD memory bug, which was fixed be removing apps back to internal.
Again been fine for about a month.
Then today, random lock on "Samsung Galaxy s II gt-9100" screen.
No changes have been made for ages, the only change was adding on{x} today.
Whats the best way to try and get this fixed? I want to save as much data as I can, I've not backed up for a few months, as I wasn't ,making any changes.
Should I just Just use odin and see what happens, or is there a better way, even if it is longer?
Can I put a no wipe flash on my SD and use CWM to try and repair? Is this a more complicated risk move? if so whats the risk.
I'd really like to keep as much as I can 'cos I've got the perfect setup for me (besides the boot lock...)
THanks folks.

Yeah, thanks for the help anyway.
I didn't know if using CWM to flash a different rom would work.
I was hoping a no wipe rom would fix the error was and keep my apps and data.
It didn't.
I used odin to flash a base > then CWM > then resurection.
I've lost loads of data :-(
But my phones sweet
lol, you win some and you loose some.
I really should know better, as a sys admin I bollock folks all the time for not doing backups. luckily I backed up messages recently, so should also have contacs there. Just all my save games, app data, is gone

Hi Guys,
I'm new in the android world and exploring around with custom roms. however i want to return back to a stock rom. Now i was wondering how can i do that without loosing any of my data e.g. sms, photos, save game data etc. can i return to stock using the same method going into a custom rom, using CMW just wipe dalvik cache and install rom? and will this also flash my kernel back to stock as well?
After returning to stock i will just root that and flash counter isn't an issue i have purchased Triangle Away
Thanks
You can`t, you can however copy your files to your pc and place them back after the flash.I`am using Appmonster pro to restore apps from sd to restore my apps if i`am not rooted.
You can also flash a stock rom and still keep root with MobileOdin Pro.

If you do a system upgrade it`s best to to a data/factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache, you don`t have to but it may result in crashings apps and system components. As fot the sms i don`t know, look in the playstore for an app for that. If you want to stay rooted backup users apps with Titanium Backup. and restore them after the flash, don`t know if texts are restored however.

i've changed batteries from my 1650mAh to my 2000mAh a lot of times but i haven't experienced getting frequently rebooted.. i don't think it's about the battery changes.. you could try doing a wipe
It's running stock,and have bunch of apps..and my dad don't want me to root to backup for him,without root wat can I do to back up app with data?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda app-developers app
I think you can backup apps without root with My Backup from the Market. But you need root to restore them. So, no joy...
Sent from my GT-I9100
is clearly rom issue. you should root the phone, make a back up (just in case). /wipe cache and dalvik. and un root it.so there wouldn't be any difference. or you could do it the right way and..root it back up with titannium or else, wipe cache dalvik, data/system factory and format /system, enter downlaod mode, flash via odin an stock rom, root it again, restore all apps and data. and un root it.
or try..
maybe one of the apps you are using is causing the problem.. I would start uninstalling unneeded apps and see if the problem fixes itself... after that I would try deleting cache for any apps that may cause problems... but the sure way as others mentioned is to flash a fresh ROM
Well,its not that I have enough time to root and back up it,its my father s2 as I'm trying to help out he factory reset it..now he said everything is okay..so let's hope it will stay like this till the end of the s2 life in my father's hand LOL anyway thx guys for ur support
