Rom backup - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
Anyone can say how to take nandroid backup on our phone?
I've tried rom manager but not working.
By flame of the PHOENIX

what do you wanna do exactly?
just make a backup?
or
Gamble a little around , install lot of crap and if it breaks down, restore the backup taken before?

get cwm recovery.. go to recovery.. backup system..
ps: dnt open a new thread again how to get cwm recovery .. just flash the latest g3mod kernel.. kernel link on dev section & flashin guides in stickies there ..

Where can I find a Backup ?

Hi there,
I received my Sensation a week ago and I rooted it + S Off.
I now that it avoids the warranty and I'd like to know If i had to go to TMobile or use my Warranty, how to put back the Stock Rom ? With Tmobile BootLogo etc.. ?
Thanks for help
By restoring your nandroid backup thru recovery! This is something you should have researched before even rooting your device. Suprised you didn't brick your device! Did you even create a backup of your stock ROM before you flashed a custom ROM?

Well you can flash the stock ruu...and if need be u can get s-on per same guide u got s-off...so i suggest u make that dev section ur best friend, all the threads and guides u need r there
Edit: oh yeah, as dude above said, u can also just restore the nand before u got root

When I had HTC I just installed ROM's with a DFT (Dark Force Team) easy to run and install, can I have something like that for my Skyrocket? I don't know about kernals and that hard stuff to do .. even step by step I found that a little confusing and Im scared to brick something!!
There arent many roms available yet only this http://briefmobile.com/alien-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-att which is alienrom and going to be the easiest for you too install withbout messing with kernels you said your rooted so you have cwm recovery correct? Put this on your sd card boot into cwm wipe data wipe.cache wipe.davikik cache 3 times each then install zip from sd card. Very simple

if reading and understanding what you are doing to your phone is too hard for you....you shouldnt be doing anything at all to it.... this is pure laziness and disregard for the technology you hold in your hand.

Your good intent aside, if you post your response with clear English then it may get a better response. I had trouble reading anything you said.
It only takes two seconds to use a spell checker and correct punctuation.
You might start with your signature.
With that said, I hate it when people don't say "thanks" when someone tries to help.
Ok, let's say something INTERESTING... I'm a advance user, I just was asking for a easy ROM install, if you don't have the answer or you are not polite... bye then.
Really, this forum is full of good people with good intentions... be part of them! Be polite, cool, good, and bring a smile always !

you say you are 'a advanced user' but you dont know what CWM is....you need to read up on the terminology used here.
you are likely to brick your device by not understanding what you are doing. this website isnt a 'make your device cool' site. its a learning tool for devs/hackers/enthusiasts to learn and share ideas and work. if you dont comprehend what you are doing, then you dont need to be hacking on your device.
Also xda can be entertainment i get alot of laughs reading some posts on here..... and that advances my good mood.

Yes.
Sorry if I'm being harsh here, but judging by your post count, you've been posting around on XDA for a while. Do you not know how to search? There's plenty of threads out there.
yea sorry about that.. but theres alot of posts that say different things about how to root it but ok i just rooted the fone using superoneclick.. but now i need to kno how to flash a rom.. do i habe to get on recovery mode or wt? im use to flash roms on vibrant so thats why i dont kno anything about this fone

If you used Odin and flashed a kernel that has cwm then yes you can flash from that cwm recovery.
Check the development section for drhonks kernels thread and odin KJ1 with Voodoo and CWM. Its rooted, and will have CWM for you.
As for which ROM is best...
No.
Its pretty much impossible to answer that question. We have a few really good ROMs and its all personal preference. I would personally suggest trying out SimplySimple, INCINB, Octane or Valhalla.
Its a toss up, theyre all great.

[Q] @ Dman

First of all, After reading a lot here (maybe not enough) Thanks for all you have done and are doing..
As my post count shows i am a supernoob at this android phone stuff with this being my first smart phone..I would like to ask you a question in regards to your [ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB1 [Rooted, deodexed, busybox].
I updated my phone through kies mini with the first Samsung release of GB so it is not rooted and you say flash your ROM with CWM which needs root that I don't have.
Can i flash this ROM with ODIN since from what I have read does not require root? (Or am I wrong thinking ODIN does not need root access?)
I'll be honest some of the threads about flashing are pretty confusing when you have never done it before.
Anyhow... Thanks in advance for any reply..
P.S. I give you total permission to hit me upside the head with the stupid stick if I missed the answer to this..
No.. you cannot flash with Odin.... my suggestion is to Odin gtg unbrick.... or flash the community gb kernel to cwm, then wipe and flash my rom ... it is only cwm flashable... if u use gtg unbrick, then root with superoneclick, 3e modified recovery to get cwm, then flash my rom. You will not be able to flash it from the official update. Good luck bro

no sim removal needed.
on your phone, go to contacts, menu, sync to contacts to google.
it is 2012...we shouldn't be saving contacts to phone or sim anymore.
Hey Dman
First of all love the Zeus Rom. Have you ever thought of doing a Hades theamed Rom? I think this would be cool since i tend to lean towards the Darkside. LOL.

My contacts were backed up on Google before I knew they were. When I rooted my "old" phone (HTC Desire) & flashed many first rom, I wondered what kind of magic the dev worked that brought all my contacts back.

I hope I don't get flamed on for this. I am having issues figuring out how to get gb bootloaders after I Odin. If I flash the community kernel will that give me what I need.

Update

Ok i want to update my sidekick but what should i update it with and what should the mounts look like and stuff
You may find this thread very helpful.
Sent from my Sidekick using xda app-developers app [also, where's my L, Samsung?]
my phone is not stock tho i just want to make sure if i already put a custom rom in it will i be able to install another rom without worrying about anything
You asked about updating and what the mounts should look like. If you are aready rooted and using CWM then just skip to the part that explains wiping and installing.
Sent from my Sidekick using xda app-developers app [also, where's my L, Samsung? Where? I want it back now!]
so i am safe to just install the rom then
well
What are you trying to do? Install a new ROM? I'm guessing you have a custom ROM already but want to change it to another custom ROM? When you say safe, safe from what? Can you please elaborate?

Nobody is responding to you because
1 your questions been answered already
2 you didn't read anything because if you did you would have easily found the answer
3 read the forums
And just to proove I'm not being a total ****
You can switch to any Rom from a custom Rom as long as the firmware base is the same.
Always wipe all data and cache factory reset before flashing a new Rom unless specified in the Rom that there is no wipe needed.
Never restore data with titanium backup when changing Roma it can cause conflicts and crashes.

As someone said lady GET AN I PHONE! I have never told someone that ,but I've never come across someone so unsuited to a rooted phone.
You are driving pple crazy who are trying to help !!!!
Custom roms are not for everyone. You can't expect others to read your mind ,or answer every single tiny point. Go and learn. Go and find info. It takes time and effort to pick the skills up. Its not hard but you have to put the effort in if you expect others to spend time helping you !

Roms are like clothes for our phones. You dress according to the enviorment in which you will be around. We canot tell you what combintion is the best. It totaly depends on you. Invest time in finding out what rom offers you what you need. Honestly... in my own personal opinion, there is no rom besides glorious overdose that worth installing. Half of what the other roms offer cause glitches in the rom.. and are themed... something you can do yourself. I appreciate the work done on this phone and to the devs currently deving for this phone, kudos. Let's go byond the "impossible" and make this phone a bit more exciting. Cause deving isn't for fame. Its for the thrill of having the chance to creat something someone somewhere will enjoy.

At this time last year, I was anxiously awaiting GOV. There were others but I only trusted ayoteddy at the time. After some time, I tried others and always went back to GOV.
I do these roms because after using root uninstaller to customize it my way, I figured that I should learn how to do this myself.
My roms will never be like GOV....it is perfection. I just do this to occupy my time. I am a recovering alcoholic and this has been sort of like a hobby for me.
My list of fave roms include GOV, GenericGinger, ICS Domination, Clean Fusion (Although now it cannot play YouTube within the web browser) and TouchMIUIwiz.
