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.

if i want to backup ervything, but want to use another rom (no android ics) how can i backup?
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

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..

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!
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 ?
Hope everyone is having a good week so far.
I am relatively new to my Nexus 5, and loving the phone so far. I am not new to flashing roms, rooting devices, etc., but definitely not a extreme power user by any means.
The one issue I am running into is preserving a particular application, MobilePass, as I flash a new rom on my Nexus 5. By flashing I mean a clean flash (clearing system data etc). I use titanium backup (paid version), and while it will restore the APK, it does not restore the app information. Why this is a problem is the program is used to generate a VPN key, and if the token information is not preserved I have to go through this long process at work to get the VPN working again (sending access code, having infrastructure enable, etc.) Will say, I can understand if it is not possible to restore a program like this for security reasons, but figured I will ask the community.
The steps I take in running the backup in titanium:
- Going to the batch screen
- Selecting backup apps + system data
Have never tried the option to create a flashable zip.
Anyone have pointers or other backup utilities they would suggest?
Additionally, did read over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717159 but did not really give me anymore information than I did not already know.
Thanks for any help.
**Edit after installing helium (CM backup solution), it seems that there is an option in Android application development to not allow apk backup's. So there might not be a solution here.

Some apps just don't respond well to being restored. Don't think there's much you can do. Maybe try another backup app to see if it's the same deal?

Thanks for the fast reply. Are there any other backup programs you recommend?
Titanium is the best for a reason. Extremely reliable and paid version has many uses.
But just to see if your app is capable of restoring data... Try anything you find on playstore. Just backup that app. Then uninstall it. And try restore. There's "my backup root" and "Helium" . Those are the only 2 I know off hand.
Maybe try the apps website to see if you can find out if it's even possible to restore data maybe first though.

Thanks KJ. I did try Helium, and think I found the issue. Updated the first post with a screenshot. Would be nice if Titanium had the same notification system.
Unfortunately yesterday I broke the display of s2 plus, in the internal memory I had a lot of data, like photos and whastapp backup so now I want to make a backup, (Even if it is broken on the top of the screen you see that for even half a centimeter it works) Someone who has the ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.1 can kindly tell me what steps I need to do to make a backup in the external memory because I can not see the options that are under
Simply you tell me what line is backup and then what linea is backup to external sd card
Thanks, sorry for my bad English

Hey XpiroettaBoom !
You Can Get Your Data like Pics & Whatsapp data/backup by Connecting Your Mobile To PC in Internal Memory DCIM Folder is commonly PICS folder Captured by the Camera...
Or You Can Use MOBILedit – PC Suite For All Phones To Get Your Data.....
Or Otherwise This is CWM Method as You Want To Proceed....
Goto your RecoveryMode... IN CWM its good that it works with Hardware buttons...
Below is A Pic of CWM You can Follow the Pic To Judge....
Press 5 times Volume - (down) Button To Go into Backup & restore Option while You are in CWM
One thing I've To confirm If we use External SDcard than We have To Press 6 Times Because "Install Zip From SDcard1" shows up in Menu...
