I have TNT Lite installed and configured the way I want it on my tablet. I was wanting to try out Vegan to see what it is like but I don't want to lose all of my apps and configuration if I go back to TNT Lite. I already backup everything using Titanium and Clockwork. If I install Vegan and wipe the data will I be able to go back to my old TNT Lite the way it was? Is there a way to do this?
Also, is there a way I could choose at boot which firmware to use? Kinda like dual booting.
Thanks!
You can go back with clockworkmod - just do a restore of the backups you did and everything is restored, including user data.

So, I purchased my Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) last weekend. I had it rooted and everything was fine. Then I got rid of some of the bloatware. I wrote a couple of programs for myself to use, so I needed to enable side-loading. I did that-successfully.
First sign of a problem was when I went to the marketplace and it would not download any single app that I tried. So, I went to restore the phone using the backup I made, but some reason it wasn't there.
Then I decided to revert to factory settings. I did a hard reset, but the problem was still not resolved. Then I found a thread on here about Odin 3. I've been trying to use that all night but the best I've gotten is to the File Analysis step. I've tried at least 10 different times.
I'm trying to get everything back up and running and preferably rooted again so that I can use my Titanium backup to restore all my apps and settings.
I'm at my wits end, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Factory reset would not solve any problems that may have been caused by deleting core apps. Is your phone rooted and nand unlocked (baseband) or just rooted? Are you running a custom rom? If so you need to reflash the rom after clearing cache and dalvik cache. If you still have the original rom then you can reflash an official samsung firmware using odin, look for your handsets firmware on www.samfirmwares.com
Other than that you could try finding out which apps are needed and using root explorer you may be able to fix the version you have. If the market is your only issue then try clearing data and cache settings/manage apps/market and download manager (two different apps)
How did you root your phone? Did you install a custom ROM yet? What bloatware did you remove, and how did you go about it?
Ok. In the wee hours this morning I finally got Odin to work and now everything works as it should. I switched computers and the program worked right away. Intersting tidbit though, I accidentally left the sim card in during the reflash and I had no ill effects. I'm actually wondering if that helped me.
Thanks tina333.
nenol, I used the one touch root. I have not installed a custom rom and I don't remember exactly which of the programs I uninstalled. I used Titanium backup to both backup my apps and to delete the bloatware.
There are very few system apps that are not needed by the system, titanium only backs up data by default. Be careful what you delete and always research first
So I have my tablet exactly the way I want it. So what can I use to fully back up the tablet so if something happens I can restore back again?
Is that even possible?
Titanium backup

Yeah, I have that..But it seems like it just backs up the individual programs.
Does it back up my widgets, etc so if I restore, the widgets will reload?
SGS tools kinda works for android 2.2. dont know if it works for 3.2
Do a nandroid backup from recovery (assuming you are running a custom rom). Otherwise if you flash a new rom or wipe and try to restore your launcher app the widgets wont reload. For some reason widgets are tied to an specific install and dont work when restoring them in a new rom.
Hey guys, tried to flash speedyscriptv6 over the alien rom and now the x2 wont boot. I went into android recovery to find my backups but they seem to not exist. In the folder it has the name of my 3 backups but then when I select one nothing is in the next part of the filepath and I can only go back to the list of the three. Upon discovering that I tried to just wipe the cache and factory reset to go back to the original gb that came on the phone and I could simply restore something from there but it still wont boot. Anyone know how I can restore one of these backups or go back to factory.
I'm running the system recovery app and have made 3 backups, one on the original rom, another on atrix 4g, and the last on alien. I'm also running titanium root pro with a backup from today so restoring from just about any condition isnt a problem for me. Thanks for any help guys and so if this is somehow a repeat question but I couldnt find an answer.
attempted to flash the gingerbread sbf but rsd says chipset type 53 not supported???
also getting the unable to retrieve initialization values error, 0x7029
finally figured it out, I updated rsd to a random 5.3.1 version and the problem went away, back to stock gingerbread, and awesome that rom manager is now available for the x2 but its failing to boot into its recovery mode.
Is there a good solution yet for this for android?
this is the "ONLY" thing I miss from my Touch Pro 2 windows mobile phone.
I get all my software installed all my tweaks settings the way I want them cookies home tab widgets etc.. etc..
I make my image.
when the phone get wonky I zap it factory reset and once I am booted up 2-3 minutes later I restore my backup and its like nothing every happened. EVERYTHING is restored without exception.
How do I do this with android?
android is FAR more stable but now I have a pretty nasty problem with dogg catcher and its looking like the only way to fix it will be a reset and I am highly reluctant to spend the literally hours and hours and hours its going to take to do that.
THEIR HAS to be a viable solution to this nightmare. a way to backup "EVERYTHING" and I mean EVERYTHING without exception.
I am using a galaxy SII (sprint variety) and I am rooted running Calukins 2.8 rom.
suggestions?
You Have CWM or Xrecovery, becouse with this you can make a full back Up, Or tried With Titanium Back Up regards.
what do you mean by full backup? yes I have recovery mode how do I use it? I am going to tr logging into that and see if maybe its obvious.
Yup, boot into clockworkmod, however u do it on your phone, go to backups and restore > backup, once u have configured everything. If something goes wrong, simply use cwm, format system and data under mounta and storage, and restore your backup and away u go. This in combination with an app called titanium are golden

I mean. Whit xrecovery o CWM you can Back Upp All The things that you'r Phone Have,
With xrecovery Go to:
-->Back Up And Restore Then Select Backup And When you Want to Restore this Backup just select Restore.
Is The Same Process For CWM
regards
I was not sure if this should go to this forum or to the ARHD development forum.
I did run super wipe lite before the install and all seems good until the last restore to try and restore my desktops.
Currently I am running ARHD 3.21 on a TF101 and would like to upgrade to 3.51. During the upgrade everything goes well and the unit boots into the new rom, I restore my apps with TB Pro and then I restore my system data. Restoring system data seems to cause a problem, because after the restore the unit will only stay up a short while and the reboots. What part of system data should I not restore? Specifically I am trying to get back my desktops. Possibly I should ask what do I restore from system to only get my desktops and would that be enough with a new rom to still cause problems?
Thanks Matt

Never install system apps/data from TB... do a fresh install of ROM n start over again without TB restore
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
I don't even back up my system files anymore. I've only used Apex/ADW/LP for my launchers and none of those actually properly restore their homescreens from a TB restore, asus' launcher may be different but just the same its safer to go with udupa82's suggestion and just restore user apps/data and then start over for your homescreens.
