So after various problems with my Captivate I finally decided to install a custom rom, so I ran ROM Manager's back up current ROM option, then installed Cognition. The problem is when I install titanium backup, and try to run it to recover my apps, it says it has 'stopped unexpectedly' and must be force closed. So if anyone knows how to fix that or how to find the backup I made and recover from it (it isn't under 'Manage and Restore Backups') I would be much obliged.
titanium backup uses different backup method so it cant restore them
rom manager doesnt really back you up, rom manager puts clockwork recovery on your ROM that doesnt have clockwork recovery BUILT IN to the kernel (like stock roms mostly for captivate).
rom manager puts you into clockwork recovery to do the backup...
so now that you have cognition, hold the power button, select recovery,
it will put you into clockwork (the built in one) go to "backup and restore" restore user data only. (user apps)
restore everything will put you back to before flashing the rom, system data doesnt mix well between different roms.
you dont need rom manager anymore uninstall and delete the update.zip file.
you backed up your old ROM in full, "so I ran ROM Manager's back up current ROM option" i havent used ROM manager since its kind of obsolete for us at this point but i think u gotta flash back to the old ROM and then use ROM manager to restore the ROM to its original state with all ur apps+app data, then u can get TiBu to back up your apps then flash custom ROM then restore your apps
actually ya... i think hes right... if im wrong...
nobody backs up that way except for FULL backup and restore..
and not with rom manager..

Hey i want to Backup my complete Android 4.0 on my HD2, because i want to change the partitions...
So how can i backup my:
-apps
-contacts
-words in keybord
-calender
as easy as possible pls
boot into the recovery mode and select backup. can't make that easier.
this will make a nandroid backup of your whole phone to the sdcard, it will be a folder with images of the various mounts and is a complete system with everything in its current state. using the same tool you can also restore it. Since you want to adjust the partitions, the size of these images will also give you a good guideline of how large system and cache need to be minimally with your current rom setup.
ok thanks, thats an good answer
can u give me a short tutorial?
i cant find the backup button...
reading you wanted to backup your ICS rom, i figured you had just another android phone which pretty much all have clockworkmod as recovery mode installed. I have no experience with the HD2 though, which is original a windows phone. Dunno if that matter and if maybe you have a different recovery console to boot into?
basically it should look similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
one of the menu items should say "backup and restore" or just "Nandroid" (which is the name of the rom backup software). either way, select that and you'll enter a submenu where the choices "backup" or "restore" should be self explanatory. Backup will create a backup folder in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ and with restore you can navigate to backup files on the sdcard.
It could be that you have a different recovery console, then let me know which one. (similar to the pic above it will have the name on the top of the screen, or it will say somewhere like "build:"). Though most alternatives have a backup option too in a similar fashion.
ok thanks i found it now
really great help
Your welcome, glad you fixed it.

Nandroid backup and look at Rom toolbox for the app manager. I think it's better than titanium.
Nandroid from Recovery/Rom Manager for an entire Image Backup.
Titanium Backup App for bits and pieces like user data.
use My Phone Explorer..
its awesome..
u need to have it in phone and a client on system.
Auto Sync.
good feature
Hi!
Probably, most of you have experienced that Titanium Backup can't be used in some ROMs because of (for example) the incompatibility with ext partitions. That is why I make this mini-guide about how to restore apps (maybe on other ROM) previously saved with Titanium Backup :
What we need
Previously saved apps, on a external SD (Obviously )
ES File explorer (It can be downloaded via PlayStore)
NOTE BEFORE STARTING: You can't restore the data of the app, only the app (apk).
Let's start:
1- Enter on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ and search the app you wanna restore:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2- Let's asume that we want install "Flash Player" (for example). When we find it, we can see that there are three files with (moreless) the same name:
3- The only file we need is wich one that has the ".apk.gz" extension (normally it appears like the 3rd), ensure by long pressing it and then entering in "properties":
4- Once we have our desired file, we press on it and we will enter on the ".apk.gz" file. Then, press again and we will get the installation screen:
Ta-da! Magic!
Hope that this mini-guide helped you and of course, you liked it.
Thanks for the info man! I was using CM7 but it had not full superuser and ext support, so i couldn't work properly with it... Now I can install my saved apps.
Regards.
Big help, a massive thank you.
Obviously this would take forever, but thanks!
Thanks for the info but it's not working for me. I tried this using ES file explorer. I located the file alright, but when I tried installing it, it said install failed.
DId I miss something? or is there something wrong with the file?
Again thanks for the info.
neat but one question
Hey man i find your idea cool, but however that does not recover lost data, or am i doing something wrong?
Sorry for the necro, but this thread really helped me so I thought I'd chime in.

My Titanium Backup kept crashing everytime I tried to restore an app. I fixed this by following this guide and then going to the Titanium Backup to restore data. Once you installed the app with this guide the app shows up in Titanium under backed up apps. Then just click the app and ONLY restore data. No crashes and you get your data back!
Hi all,
after successfully upgrading my Hong Kong P6800 from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.2, things went rather south this morning.
screen shot of my current ICS version.

I tried to use the same md5 file (KIES_HOME_P6800DXMD3_P6800OLBMD3_1157844_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5) with Odin v1.85.
At the moment the Odin started to write NAND with the factotyfs.img, ODIN stopped and interupted the flashing process.
I managed to revive the tablet, by re-entering the download mode and flash the CWM 6.0.3 tar file.
Flash was ok and luckely the TAB rebooted :highfive:
Who can tell me what I did wrong, or is the simple fact that the chinese P6800 can't be flashed with this ROM?
I wouldnt give up hope yet...
Get goo manager from play store...then get TWRP...
(make sure you have root access first)
from here you can have a plan B to install it.
look for "erobot rom thread" and i think the origonal stock rom is available as a downloadable zip.if not skyhigh or someone had it on there rom page.or else just use the new erobot skyhigh etc...there based on the stock one but modded..
then you can flash it with TWRP...
before flashing...
make a back up of your rom to sd card..
then do the full wipe..
eg 4wipes....1 cache 2 davlik cache 3 factory reset 4 system..
then install erobot or stock rom zip from sd card..
then RE wipe everything again...without restarting tab
re flash the rom again and should be no probs..
now reboot and should load up...
If flashing roms doesnt work I just wipe everything properly and flash twice and always works.If wont load or boot loop then need to redownload rom again and check the file size agaisnt what you are downloading vs what you have when finnished downloading to make sure its all there this will cause it to bootloop if not full file.
if still fails to boot up then go back to your back up from sd card you saved and do recovery...now you can try mobile odin or something else,but i always use TWRP and never have a problem.
Thanks MRBR7! ur suggestion was spot on. I've e-Robot running now
Glad it worked..
I Bought mine in Hong Kong too....P6800
Erobot V2.2 is my fav Rom at this stage.
Hello
I have come across a way to make NANDROID back without booting into recovery at all! You can easily make the backup while running your phone and even cooler, you can schedule backups at any time of the day and thus you can experiment all you want with your Xperia L
The credit goes to the developer and this is his thread which has all the details :

Nandroid backups are usually performed in recovery mode. This means you would have to turn off your phone and reboot in recovery mode, which wastes a whole lot of time rebooting and a lot more time offline. For me, this has been a killer as I do regular nandroid backups. Having to reboot in recovery and finding missed calls, sms from my wife and friends is totally not accepatable for me. So, I set to develop an online nandroid backup tool, namely Online Nandroid, which can do nandroid backups without switching off my phone.
Today, I am releasing it to public, as it may serve good for some others too. Originally I developed Online Nandroid specifically for Xperia devices, but now I am releasing it for all android devices.
This tool, eventhough called "Online Nandroid", does not upload/save backups to any online/cloud services. Online here means that it does backup while phone is live or still running Android.
The short name onandroid is meant to be pronouced as o-nandroid or o'nandroid and NOT on-android.
Requirements:
1. Rooted android phone
2. A terminal emulator installed on phone
3. Latest version of Busybox
4. A working CWM, TWRP or 4EXT based recovery installed
5. Some patience
Installation:
1. Download and copy zip file to SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Choose install zip from SD card, select zip and flash
4. Reboot
Usage:
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type su to obtain root
3. Type onandroid
4. Wait and watch

how to restore it ?
Hello guys, so basically you are my last hope since I cannot find a solution for my problem (at least with my level of knowledge).
Lets start from the beginning: I (someone with no experience in this topic) decided to try out a new OS on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 since a lot of apps stopped working on Android 4.3. I tried a tutorial on youtube on how to install a new custom ROM. I installed TWRP (3.5.2_9-0-i9300) and later with the help of TWRP Lineage OS 17.1 (an unoffical version for my type of phone) and everything worked perfect.
I started to download all apps I need and to customise my OS. In the end when everything was set up I decided to do a full backup using TWRP and thats where the problem started. In the development section I checked the function, that when you press the power button you can directly boot your phone into recovery mode. So my phone rebooted and ended up in a constant boot loop where at first the Samsung Galaxy logo appears (first picture) and then TWRP appears (second picture) and this process goes on and on...

Sadly there is no way to get into recovery mode since this loop just continues. If tried it many times also with taking out the battery and putting it back in. The only thing I have access to is the download mode.
So my question to you: is there anything I could do in the download mode to solve this problem? I saved the important data before so a full wipe wouldnt be a problem. Maybe I can do something with odin?
I really hope you can give me some ideas to try out. Every help is appreciated. Thanks!
Try reflashing a stock ROM first of all.
Then reflash TWRP. Make a TWRP backup (especially the EFS ! That is a "must-do first and foremost" !) of your working system and progress from there.
And in the future, instead of reinstalling all your apps piecemeal I strongly recommend you use Titanium backup (paid version. The free version is very limited), that is a wise invesment for the small sum it'll cost you
@Snakeforhire reflashing stock ROM worked, thank you so much.
I will take a closer look on Titanium backup. Used it in the past but with root access. On the new Lineage OS I dont have root although it shouldnt be hard to get from what I read.
