How to Backup existing ROM - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

hi gurus,
I am using samsung galaxy gio 5660, i want to know how can i backup my existing rom using adb or any other tool ???
I have also tried romdump tool to backup my rom but facing error.
I searched many forums but not found any useful solution, I know i can do it using ROM manager but clockworkmod is not compatible for my phone .
your prompt help in this regard would be appreciated.
thanks

have you searched for nandroid backup ?

yes offcourse, nandroid backup something different, and before use it you need to install clockwordmod on your device which is in my case is not possible , because clockworkmod isnt available for my samsung gio s5660.

[Q] Cant backup stock rom?

Hi, I rooted my infuse using 1-click root and installed rom manager, I also flashed clockworkmod on it. I chose Galaxy S I9000 while flashing it. But when i choose backup current rom. It reboots to the recovery mod and does couple of commands and stops without doing anything. Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
Can anybody help?

[Q] Can I remove ROM Manager and its recovery lock?

I installed ClockworkMod's ROM Manager v.4.8.0.6 which includes ClockworkMod (CWM) to backup stock ROM on brand new Samsung i9000m.
Problem #1 with ROM Manager
CWM won't install because it does not have verified signatures which my device requires to install it.
I removed ROM Manager and re-booted.
I installed ROM Toolbox.
Problem #2 with ROM Manager
With ROM Toolbox, when trying to backup ROM I get the message:ROM Manager blocked other apps from creating backups in recovery unless ROM Manager Premium is installed.
Once you install ROM Manager Premium you can use ROM Toolbox to backup your ROM. ​From stock Recovery I wiped and restored, tried all over again with same results. I can reboot into stock recovery, but I cannot backup my ROM.
This is bad. No application should hook into and lock-up your device in such a way that you cannot get it properly recovered, or prevent another application from properly backing-up your ROM.
I have sent emails and tweets to the developer but have yet to receive a reply.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I cannot proceed until I get a full backup, which from the message I am getting, ROM Manager is preventing from doing unless I send money.
you can search google or xda for cwm recovery or amonra and flash it

Hello there guys
I have the same problem like catalyst2012. I have searched the net, even bought clockworkmode rom manager premium but then my android (X8) isnt supported so i am in a bad situation. I have also tried to manually install rom manager (and its CWD recovery) but no result. Any help will be kindly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, i have an issue restoring my Galaxy tab 10.1 gt-n8000 region switzerland... before flashing with a cm rom i did a backup with CWM 6.0.1.1, then after flash i could not see my backup in CWM... so i then found it with Astro file manager in : sdcard0/0/0/0/clockworkmod/backup..

Nandroid backup
The first part of your journey is to learn about how to perform a Nandroid backup. There are lots of resources available if you search XDA and/or Google.
Here is just one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713869 (which points to a decent external article of the subject)
You will need to get a custom recovery onto your device in order to perform the backup. Personally, I used TWRP and have found it to be excellent far. Good luck!
Install CWM recovery via rom manager and reboot in recovery.You can backup your rom there
You must have any recovery in ur device.
Reboot into recovery and choose backup and restore option and do a complete backup of ur device

NO CWM RECOVERY tool for this unpopular device!!

So i've bought this unpopular tablet + phone device that has an android version 4.2.2 installed, Jelly bean. Brand name is: Neo. Full name would be: Neo Omnipad 3g. I've rooted it successfully but i kind of wanna have a backup of my system before i do some risky stuffs. I downloaded the Nandroid backup app in my phone and created a backup that is placed on my sd card now but the PROBLEM IS: I don't have a CWM recovery tool. I've tried to use ROM manager but it wont recognize my device as well which means i cant install any CWM Recovery tool that would support my device as well as backups, I also did tried the Quick boot and tried to put my device into Recovery mode but it stucked on the Android with an open body having Exclamation on it. Could somebody help me with this? Are there any other ways that could support my device in terms of having a backup of my current and original ROM or OS in this android? Thanks much!

If you can figure out how to unlock your phones' bootloader, you might be able use "Odin" to flash+backup your ROM and data.
