My screen just cracked, and I went through assurian for replacement. When I get the replacement S3, after I have rooted and unlocked it, can I safely restore a cwm backup from my cracked s3? Or should I clean install rom and restore apps from titanium backup?

You can restore the backup without a problem

I rooted my Samsung Epic and had it for a while, but decided to unroot it. There were a few apps that I deleted with Titanium Backup when it was rooted that now are still gone.
I have no problem with this but if i take it into sprint will my warranty still be voided? or do I need to do a hard reset in order to get these apps back and to be in the clear with sprint?
All,
Getting a replacement S3 from asurion. Wanted to know if I can restore my current backup nandroid rom to the replacement device when I receive it. Should be fine since they are the same device no?
Thanks!
I had to get a replacement galaxy s3 through Asurion because the power button broke on my phone. I have a nandroid backup of my old phone however the new replacement phone has the locked bootloader so I guess I can't install CWM? How can I restore my nandroid backup to the new phone?
Assuming you have 4.3 installed on your new phone, try safestrap in the development section but I think it only works for 4.3 tw roms. If you still have your old phone, either replace your power switch or find someone to do it for you.

I tried to install TWRP on my old phone to do a backup from that but it looks like it bricked my phone. It won't even light up when I connect it to the charger now....
I was able to use safestrap and install the ROM I was using and I have a GOBackup backup of my apps and data. However it looks like it didn't backup any of the application data, specifically Google Authenticator. So now it looks like I'm screwed and locked out half my accounts.. Is there any way to unpack the tar from the CWM backup to retrieve app settings?
Nevermind, I figured out how to extract the tar and pulled the Authenticator database out and restored it on the new phone. Setting up and customizing everything else from scratch is going to be a PITA though.
I haven been trying to get to stock android so i can send my phone in for warranty. but I just cant seem to find a way back. by any chance does anyone have a nandroid backup for AT&T stock?
For fastboot phones, like Nexus, one can via adb boot a twrp image on a non-rooted oem-locked device and take a nandroid backup
This will read the data and the ROM without root
How does one do the same with Samsung Galaxy S8+, that does not support fastboot?
ie. back up ROM and sdcard without rooting or modifying the device?

This is the first phone I've ever had for anytime without root. When I purchased the Note 7 and had return it the 1st time I did a backup to the Samsung Cloud. After receiving the replacement I restored from the cloud and it restored everything back the way it was. It's not a perfect solution but for non rooted it's what we have.

Try Smart Switch by Samsung...you can backup everything on your phone including everything that's on your micro sd card (if you have one)
