Hi,
I used the GNex Toolkit 10.1.0 to make a complete Nandroid Backup of my stock ROM 4.2.1.
But using the option to make the complete nandroid saved on PC and deleted from the Phone, just make the backup of boot, recovey and md5.
I paste a scrreenshot of the operation I did it.
Thx a lot to everyone who will help me.
Regards

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Showcase, which is rooted, that I am trying to regain some data from that was stored in stock apps prior to attempting to install a new ROM. When I went to install the ROM I did the factory Reset and the data was lost. I have a MyBackup Root and a Nandroid backup. I tried doing a restore in the MyBackup Root app and it restored all of the apps except from the stock apps that came with the phone. Can anyone give any suggestions about how to recover the data? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
maybe this will help???
The easiest way to perform, restore or manage nandroid backups is to use ROM Manager. It is a free Android app that you download from the Android Market and use while running Android to schedule operations to be performed in recovery. It provides you with a GUI for installing ROMs as well as performing, restoring and managing backups. It does not perform the actions themselves but rather reboots the device into recovery after you have scheduled these actions, and then automatically performs them via recovery. For further information, check out our coverage of Android ROM Manager. Its interface makes using it a breeze as all the options are laid out very conveniently.

if you didn't backup that data seperately (like MyBackup or Titanium backup), you should get it from the nandroid backup i guess. its a bit more elaborate but shouldn't take too much time:
1] boot into recovery
2] make a nandroid/rom backup of the current state
3] restore your old nandroid/rom backup
4] boot into the old rom
5] backup the settings/apps/data you need from that rom with mybackup/titanium
6] boot into recovery
7] restore your new rom you just backupped in step #2
8] boot into your current rom
9] restore the settings/apps/data with mybackup/titanium.
Update
I tried to do an advanced restore on just the data partition via clockworkmod recovery, but it gets just so far into it and seems to lock up. Then I have to reboot into recovery.
I looked, but could not find an answer to this specific question.
Forgive me if it's been discussed before.
Here's the order in which i performed new ZEUS (build 6) install.
1) Titanium backup user apps.
2) manual backup of media.
3) Odin back to stock froyo.
4) Factory Reset.
5) super one click root
6) modded recovery install using cwm from market
7) re-install packages x2
8) install Zeus
9) Titanium re-install user apps.
10) ICS for v6 theme installed
Question: Can i move an OLD nandroid backup into the "_/clockworkmod/backup" folder and restore as if it i had not factory reset and re rooted?
Thanks in advance.

RE-EDIT!!
Sorry if all that was unclear.. it was drunk thirty when i sent that.
i went back to stock, then did a factory reset from within froyo:
Settings -> privacy -> Factory data reset.
i copied the nandroid backup to the comp before this, then copied it back to same folder once i rooted and installed zeus and made initial new nandroid backup.
My question is can I restore from a backup that the phone erased and i put back after re-installing CWM.

cwm backup file can be restored in cwm. I don't know if it can be restored by any other means.
You dont have to be rooted. You just need to have a working cwm...I have only worked with Red CWM.
If you are looking to restore a nandroid, I recm booting into cwm. wipe clean: factory reset, wipe cache, advance -wipe dalvik. mount: format system, data and cache. Then restore your nandroid.
That's cool. I'm gonna try it, cause I can throw it under a bus for a new one if it bricks.
My question was backtowherw I started...with a a new file structure... can I restore from an old backupfrom a different file structure.
I was and am rooted fro both backups.
I did and now have red cwm.
I do and will take notes.

this is not a normal nandroid / cwm restore.
If you're reading this : Please... let me know if this has been discussed and link me ...
or tell me what it you don't understand about my question or how it differs from the MANY cwm restores I've Don from nandroid backup.
I guess no one knows ; That's cool.
The problem is that I forgot to backup all my apps. That's the only reason I wanted restore to a nandroid backup that was deleted by froyo factory data reset.
Now I backup using titanium but apparently lost or deleted the tiba folder after I copied it to the hdd.
At any rate, I only care that I get all apps with data back.
So... is there another way?
Apk extract from nandroid using comp or android?
Sent from my perfectly working phone which I choose not to **** up by restoring from a backup I didn't really want anyway.
Not sure if this helps. But I always copy my nandroid back ups to my computer and my sdcard. That way if I ever need to restore, I can just copy the nandroid back up to the clockwork/backup folder.
Just reread, there are a couple of apps that will let you extract apps from a nandroid backup. I for get which ones though.

Thanks .. I found it. Appextract. Works great. Will purchase.
Sent from my phone.
Thanks for this thread. I've been trying to find a clear answer to my question and this is about as close as I've been able to find. So, just to verify (I am a noob, after all):
In order to install a rooted ROM when you have already installed an unrooted 2.3.6 (in my case, the UCLB3 leak), you need to do a nandroid backup, then go back to Froyo stock, root the Infuse, install CWM, then follow the instructions on the box?
In my case, I'm interested in Dman's rooted etc. UCLB3. His instructions start with "Boot into CWM" and I suppose this is the only way to do so!
This is what you are saying you did more or less, right?

After flash to stock uclb3 then use the heimdall package in the second post to flash Entropy's kernal... which will give you cwm recovery.

Reboot into recovery and flash whatever you want
Hello guys, this is going to be a long post andam very sorry about that. So, I got a Samsung galaxy note2 and I want to install the latest firmware which is version 4.3. Also, I'll like to try some android 4.4 custom rom. Am currently using version 4.1.2. Seriously, i've searched many threads without a satisfactory answer before restorting to start one. Before going on this adventure I'll like to do a complete backup of my original rom so i can go back to it anytime. I've decided to use nandroid for the full image backup (clockworkmod) and titanium for subsequent application and applications data backup. I know what these two apps do but I still have some questions.
1) What's is the safest way to root and unroot my device?
2) what files/apps do I need to do a nandroid and titanium backup and where do I get them?
3) can I keep this backups on my external sdcard, will I be able to access it from external sdcard on recovery mode incase my phone crashes?
4) someone said even after using the nandroid backup, I'll still have to Flash the kernel, what does this mean and how do I do that?
5) I plan using clockworkmod cos it sounds like a good idea. How do I get and use it.
Now I made a mess of myself asking all these questions. I'll still post it nonetheless cos I really need help with these questions or I wouldn't have asked. Thanks in advance guys. Once again, sorry for the long post.
1) any way that has been tested by the device users or devs, instructions should be followed clearly..
2) CWM needed for nandroid backup & Titanium Backup app is needed for data backups.
CWM would be available in dedicated threads for your device.
Titanium Backup app would be available in playstore
3) You can. :thumbup:
4) There are 2 ways AFAIK,
i. adb method to place the kernel inside the device
ii. Zip file flashing through CWM
5) Same answer as for Q2
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free
Parkourkarthik, thanks so much for your quick response. Sorry to bother you further. About kernel flashing, is it that I'll have to flash the kernel every time I restore from my nandroid backup? I guess I'll have to download the kernel for my device before hand, so where do l keep It so CWM could use it.

for cwm check your device forum and you b=can take nandroid backup and if anything goes wrong you can backup with that
and for your question what all nandroid backup include here is the answer
nandroid backup includes
system partition
cache partition
data partition
boot partition
boot partition means kernel is included in boot partition only so kernel is also backed up in nandroid backup

if you restore nandroid backup you will automatically get stock kernel because nandroid backup includes boot partition where kernel is found
no need to flash kernel everytime
and you can keep kernel anywhere but if you simply download kernel image file or md5 file you an install it only with universal kernel flasher or adb you cant install that file directly in cwm
it must be a flashable zip to install in cwm to install it
Hi, rooted my phone for the first time in years.
I'm starting to require my old Call Log (numbers) and SMS (msg). Will use Titanium Backup pro from here on out.
Made a full Backup with TWRP and I like to recover or extract the call log only. Anyone got any suggests short of restoring the entire ROM?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
Hope this discussion help you: Extracting SMS from CWM6 nandroid or this one:
[GUIDE]How to extract nandroid backup and restore apps from it without pc.
Good luck
Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to make a complete backup of my phone. By complete I am referring to A Complete Carbon Copy of my phone including OS & All.
Thanks In Advance

take nandroid backup from your recovery for that first root your device then install any recovery than take full system backup it will backup all your system data and in future you can also restore it

You're going to have to be rooted to do a full backup. You need to look into that first.
Once you've done that, you can then install a backup app from the store such as nandroid backup.
If you install a custom recovery like twrp, you can also do a full backup.
