Can I do a system recovery on my device to restore back to factory state if I (1) Rooted the device and (2) deleted some system apps without backup
No. Not really. What you delete? You just rooted? You got clockworkmod? There are fixes.

I tired to do that but the only options it gives me is
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
there is no backup option.
You need to root your phone first and install clockworkmod recovery. After that you should have the option to backup your current rom. Search for superoneclick to root your phone then download rom manager from the market and flash cwm recovery from inside the app. After it downloads cwm recovery and installed. Boot into recovery then backup.

Hi all,
I'm having some problems doing a Nandroid Backup in CWM.
I go into Rom Manager and reboot to recovery.
I select Backup/Restore and run a backup before attempting to flash a new rom.
I get all the way to Backing up Data... And it Freezes about halfway through. It happened yesterday and today.
I'm running Stock Rooted 2.2.2.
Can anyone help?
Did you wipe first? I always do before restoring a nandroid and haven't seen any issues.

Hey just out of curiosity if you access advanced backup in cwm recovery and backup boot it means you're backing up the kernel right?

Take a look in you gmail contact list. It will be synced when you start up a "clean" Android phone. If you want to keep your SMS's, you could try a program like SMS Backup +.
root it without unlocking bootloader, it won't wipe your device...
If you have Google account, your contacts will be sync by Gmail.
App data can be backup by Titanium Backup.
Root will not wipe ur data.
But unlocking bootloader does.
Also backup before root is recommended

How is that possible in 4.0.4?
As stated previously, once you unlock bootloader your data will be erased. And yes, once you install custom recovery (CWM), you can do a nandroid backup through it.

Is it possible to return to stock without losing my data? My data really isn't that necessary, as I could make a TB backup and save it to the internal memory, but the main question is: Can I return to stock ROM without having to to wipe my internal memory?

no. of course you can set it for google to restore your settings, and apps with settings, but your data will get wiped.

Alright, thanks
Yes you can. Just download the stock factory image and extract it. Then using adb (I hope you know how if not tell me and I'll try to explain) flash the recovery, system, and boot images. That will restore your stock ROM, kernel, and recovery. Just don't flash the userdata image and all your internal data on your "SD card" will be fine. All you have to do is restore your titanium backup apps and all their data will still be there and your pictures and everything will all be available.

Cool I was wondering this too as I made a nandroid when I first started but not sure I had all my apps set up yet. From here I would just reflash twrp and reroot, correct?

Yes but you'll still lose your apps just not the internal data so make sure you backup with titanium. It'll be like flashing a new ROM.
