make a backup using recovery it will work as for now i never had any probs so never required to restore my backup as far as application is concerned i make a backup using titanium backup-open titanium backup-click menu button on phone-select batch and backup all your external appl and games in one click. As far as your contacts is concerned i normally enter into contacts-select menu-import/export-select export to sd card .this will create a .vcf file in ur sd card.
So just copy the .vcf file and titanium backup file to your pc this way u will have all your contacts and appl in ur pc backup incase if u format ur card u can just copy back the backup to sd card again. and if u dont format your sd card then u just have all ur backup intact in your card which u can restore after flashing a new rom.
hope it helped you

[Q] Nandroid backup of Gingerbread on Samsung Galaxy Proclaim

Hey Everyone. Sorry if I posted in the wrong spot, but I've watched the "noob" video, and I couldn't find anything about my phone on here. So, I've become interested in custom roms, and I'm thinking about learning how to make some. I currently own a Galaxy Proclaim, and I havent been able to create a nandroid backup. I've successfully set up the adb on my Lubuntu Netbook, and I ran adb backup, and apparently that only works for ICS. So, that leaves me with a few questions. How do I make a nandroid backup of gingerbread? What does ROM Manager, from googleplay, back up? And Is there a way I could make a backup manually? I know how to backup the files on my system, but how would I backup the bootloader and everything else? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just curious and determined to make a custom ICS rom, or compile a ROM from source, but I'm afraid to try anything because I don't want to brick my phone.
Buddy do it via cwm.download compatible cwm for ur cell to sd card to root and go stock recovery m0d install zip from sd card and select cwm then select backup restore and in that option just select backup and wait until its done.u need root for flashing cwm in recovery.

Clockwork Manager doesn't support my phone. The phones model number is SCH-S720C. I've tried other backup apps and they back up my apps/media just fine, but I need a full nandroid backup in case I mess up the boot loader or flash the wrong .pit file. I'm not taking any huge risks this time since I bricked my last one. Is there anyway I could make a backup manually? I currently run Lubuntu 12.10, and I've compiled adb and it works right on my computer.

[Q] Mirroring of Stock ROM

Hi all,
I've a XT910 with this rooted android version : Jelly Bean OTA 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU. Now I want to do a copy of the stock rom and I want to install the copy in the Slot Rom 1 with Safestrap. Can I do it with Backup/Restore option in Safestrap ? Can someone tell me the right steps ? If I can't do that with Safestrap, is there another way ? Thanks for any reply.
Cheers
Stefano.

why do you want to do that? keep your stock ROM as your backup if anything happens when installing other ROMs on other slot.
anyway, i recommend you to install Boot Menu Manager . its more easier to use. you can backup your system and data in the recovery, and you can restore it on other slot. you can also do this on safestrap.
R: [Q] Mirroring of Stock ROM
I want to do that because I want to modify my stock rom. I've tryed to restore my stock rom in slot 1, but it didn't work. I've tryed also to copy system partition and I tryed to build a custom rom with the extracted system... But it didn't work either. In the second way, after few minutes it appeared the android logo with a warning. Sorry for my english....thx in advice

it should work. I did the same thing. I made a backup of my stock 4.1.2 and then re-created rom slot 1 and restored the backup i just made of my stock to that I could modifiy it to my liking with out having to worry about messing up my safeside stock.
Did your backup of stock have Voodoo OTA protected SU. If it did try disabling voodoo su protection and then make a backup. Otherwise when you restore you end up with just a black screen sometimes. also delete rom slot 1 and re-receate it then install backup.
R: [Q] Mirroring of Stock ROM
What did you use to backup? Safestrap or BMM? Did you backup only system partition or system/data partition?
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Ok, I found the problem. The size of my system partition ( done by SafeStrap ) is 640 MB. However the backup of my system stock partition is 711 MB. Safestrap doesn't warn me about the overflow. How can I shrink the system backup ? Is there a way to improve the size of system partiotion ?

[Q] Dual Boot - ROM backup

I'm using GoogyMax (have also used Siyah) and running Purelook HD Rom along with Slimbean as 2nd ROM. Right now I have my phone exactly how I like it but I also like trying new versions. It gets confusing doing Nandroid in each ROM and running backups from both using TB (Titanium) or MBR (My Backup Root) and recently I managed to stuff things up and had to rebuild from scratch.
Is there a way to do a Nandroid and get the entire package backed up? I am presuming in Slimbean backup I get only that ROM (it's around 1.1GB) and the same for Purelook (it's around 2.17GB) It would be good if I could simply boot to recovery and run one Restore and be back to my full setup.
Or am I mistaken in the idea Purelook, based on 4.1.2 stock, would be 2 times the size of Slimbean?
Shouldn't nandroid in CWM backup both Roms as the second is a kind of subset of the first regarding folder structure?

No, 2nd ROM is:
/sdcard/.secondrom
This is why it's best to use Siyah recovery to manage nandroid backups for 2nd ROM. However, since /sdcard/.secondrom should contain all the ROM stuff (including data) IIRC, shouldn't you just be able to rename that to /sdcard/.secondrom_OLD and reformat a new /sdcard/.secondrom?
Thanks for the replies.
I am unable to locate the /secondrom using ES File Explorer. Going to / and searching for 'secondrom' gives me no result. secondrom is deinitely there though - I just booted into it. Either it's a setting in ES that I need to change so I can see it (I'm using ES File in the 1st ROM) or I am not understanding how the folder set up works with dual boot. (or possibly, at all )
I guess, unless there is something more specific to find on here, I will have to backup everything then try a restore of each nandroid and see what it gives me.
Its .secondrom, meaning hidden file. Have you enabled hidden files?
On 4.1, /sdcard is /data/media but on 4.2, its /data/media/0 so you'll need to use root explorer permissions to browse and check /data/media if you're on 4.2 as it may appear "missing" as per link in my signature

[Q] How to get everything back to stock exactly the way it was when bought in shop?

I'm currently on cm10.1 I want to sell my HOX+ and would like to find out easiest way to get everything back to stock as in the way the phone is when you buy it in the store, I have the stock recovery.img and I also made a backup of the stock sense 4+ rom that came with the phone only its a folder instead of a zip and it has these files inside of it.
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
cache.ext4.win
cache.ext4.win.md5
data.ext3.win
data.ext3.win.md5
recovery.emmc.win
recovery.emmc.win.md5
system.ext4.win
system.ext4.win.md5
How can I flash this rom ? Can I just zip the folder together and flash it or do I have to do anything else?
Reason Im doing this is I need the cash really badly and they extensively check the phones before paying you so I need it back exactly the way it was when I bought it. Its in International (UK) Unlocked HOX+.
I have already backed up all my files and wiped the whole phone.
What recovery did you use to take the backup? Inside the backup section there should be a restore option. You should do a full wipe before restoring. And make sure you flash the boot.img from fastboot.

Im pretty sure it was TWRP.
its just a folder with the listed files in it, how do I flash it ? Do I need to zip the folder first ? and Its on my computer I im in twrp at the moment and usb storage isn't mounting so How would I move the rom there?
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
If i understand what you say, you don't have any rom installed now, and the back up files are on your computer? Right?

Dude, if you want to have the phone as stock as possible, just download the RUU from HTC and run it. Just make sure you flash stock recovery beforehand.
