Hi!
I was wondering, before I do something stupid , if there's any problem on doing an advanced restore, restoring only data, so I could get my apps, contacts, etc on my just flashed ROM Cyanogen Mod 9, for locked bootloader. I have two nandroid backups, one with the stock ROM ICS 6.1.1.B.1.10, and the other with a custom rom, I think called ZXperience.
So, can I do a data restore easily without messing anything?
Thanks!
PS: I'm using Sony Xperia U
Depends on cwm version, if it's 6 then you can't but if below then you can

Thanks for response!
Well, I had 6, so I install the v5... I did na advanced restore from the stock ICS ROM. Now, when turn on, it shows sony logo, then it shows cyanogen mod boot animation, then flashes, get's back to sony logo, and then to cyanogen mod boot animation again and so on.
I can't still boot into CWM Touch Recovery.
How can I restore my settings, contacts, etc?

Ahaha, sorry if I'm being to noob, but I was able to sucessfully install my apps, how do I get my contacts and app data back? I see a lot of contacts and data related files but do I have to manually placed them in the right folder or there's an easier way?
Thanks!
didnt you got app data back while installing apps from it?

I wasn't sure, a little odd, but it's ok. I used Titanium Backup Pro to restore app+data from a nandroid backup. Much easier.
Thank you so much for the help and patience!
Stay good!

Hi all...is it possible to backup my current rom? If so, how?
Thanks
when you boot into clockworkmod you can do a backup there. i think it makes a backup of everything and then you can restore using the clockworkmod...

Thanks. Sounds easy enough. Will give that a try now
I don't think this belongs in the development section.

I managed to soft brick my note and I can't seem to get any custom ROMs to boot past the boot animation, and returning to stock just bootloops. If anyone can provide me with their backup of CM9, that'd be great. I just need the boot.img, cache, data, nandroid, recovery, and system files. You don't even need to give me the clockworkmod folder, backup folder, or the folder for the actual backup! (Make sure there's no private information on the backup, mmkay?) Preferably, it would be made in CWM after flashing CM9 quincyatt RC2 and the 4.29.12 Google Apps.
If this won't cause too much trouble, I hope you people can provide a backup. I managed to wipe all of mine out (bad luck!).
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: If it helps anyone, I have an AT&T Note.

Thanks! It's an incomplete backup, but I can splice it with some of the backups I have on my computer and write it to an SD card.

Hope it works for you, I have no clue with this stuff. Don't know why it would be incomplete. I've used that backup image before to restore.

Yes, I have. I get a bootloop when I try to Odin back to stock. I found an old recovery I made from the OEM stuff, so I'm just going to flash that and start over. Case closed, I suppose.
Now then guys... i am thinking about rooting my phone to put jelly bean on my samsung galaxy s2 .... i was just wondering views on which is the best one to go for ( LINKS PLEASE ) and is it easy to do you know the usual questions you will have heard them before lol IM A NEWBIE !!!
Cheers People
Download Siyah 3.5.2.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Tar for Odin.
Then use this guide.

Nevermind it says Cf-root. I flashed my Siyah kernel that way.
After that, flash any rom you want in recovery. Just do a Nandroid backup in recovery and backup apps with Titanium backup from Market!!!

Don't restore apps after flashing newer ROM, cause your phone will bootloop.
Better create text file and write names of installed apps.
Im not sure why everyone is worried about backing up there apps ive flashed about a 100 roms and never had to back them up cause if u go to the play store under my apps there always there
Infact there are apps there id forgotten about just pick which ones u want and re install .some roms auto instal them for u .make sure you have a google acc obviously!

What type of data? Music and photos are saved to the external SD card for me, and as for game save data, I believe that is externally backed up as well.

Only if the application is on the external memory card then it's backed up there. Otherwise they'll loose the data if that's not the case.

If you restore from google play, you loose all your app settings and you will have to reconfigure each app.
Also, Google Play will not show apps installed offline (apk)
Restoring app data with third party app like titanium backup is safe if app is compatible with the target rom

And when I get bored of a rom I just restore my nand backup of something previous.

in order to install a perticular custom rom , all u have to do is to follow the install instruction's of the same in there OP. and the same applies to all other roms also.
since installation instruction do vary from one custom rom to another
Jasper,you are better to read up on things so you are familiar with the processes of like rooting/kernels/roms/cwm/Odin/troubleshooting.
I understand reading 1000s of posts is tedious,but you could end up with a non working phone.

Thanks for the reply. In terms of using titanium backup I forget what is the proper procedure for wiping and flashing the rom. Do I backup apps and user data and when restoring only restore missing apps with data? Also whats the process us I ng twrp to flash. Ive only flashed 1 rom on my gnex and my friend helped me do it so im lost and I dont wanna brick my phone

Basically its backup all your apps and data from apps u downloaded, like facebook,twitter,etc.. the user apps, system apps, the ones that come with the rom dont ever restore causes problems rom to rom.. after u put the rom on your ext sd card..twrp, go to wipe proced to wipe data factory reset,cache,dalvik cache, install from storage the rom, flash that, then reboot... I personally purchased an app called go backup for all my backups and restore.. it only let's up backup your user apps not system apps so u can't screw up your restore, what I do is backup with go, then flash my new rom, after the new rom is up and running re downldownload go from market and restore from there, all apps are saved dont even have to log into anything again...

Hi,
Recently i have been mucking about with flashable .zip themes but being an idiot didnt back up before i started flashing and now some of my icons have changed and i was wondering if there is any way to get them back to stock.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I know i have been a giant idiot
One way, I think would be to reflash your current rom.

You won't need to wipe data if you're flashing the same ROM but yes, you should always backup. Always take a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING. Also think about using Titanium backup for individual apps.
You should read:

i just use the stock firmware that came withthe phone so im unsure on how to reflash them
All in that thread I suggested you read although its probably easier for you to flash stock from Odin....

maybe u can use a launcher, like adwlauncher it let you change icons of your apps
If I wear to do an advanced restore and only remote the /system would that make any difference to my personal data, as it is syst apps that are modified such as the sms and phone app

Or, if you have Nova Launcher installed, you could go to Nova Settings>Look and Feel>Icon Themes>Default or Stock Jelly Bean

In that case, I think one option for you to preserve stock look/icons would be to heed the earlier post/s by rootsu - flash stock firmware from your region/country using Odin. It shouldn't take that long.

Right. When I mentioned earlier about taking Nandroid backups before flashing things, that probably would have been a good time to bring that up.
