How to nandroid backup? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to nandroid tab 21
Hello
Is there a way to create a nandroid backup , but that will also backup stock recovery?
or is there a way to backup only stock recovery somehow?
Thanks

And why would you backup stock recovery? You create a nandroid backup, and then u use recovery to restore your system from that backup. You need recovery on your device, if it's not there, you won't revover anything. That means that you couldn't recover recovery without having recovery, so making s backup of recovery is pointless.
Anyway, if something goes wrong, you can always flash stock via Odin, and that will also give you stock recovery. Unless, of course, you brick the device by, for example, flashing the wrong firmware.
And as to how to make a nandroid backup, get yourself a CWM recovery, boot into it and in the options you will find backup and restore.
And please use the search button, as all this info is very easy to find on xda.

Thanks you made it clear - that flashing stock firmware also gives the stock recovery. Ty.

[Q] Can't back Samsung Galaxy S Plus

Hello i tried many times to backup my standard ROM, with ClockWork Recovery, when i tried Backup Current ROM with Rom manager 4.8.0.7 the phone boot up with Android out the box and then i get a error een triangle with a cross on it.
My phone a Samsung Galaxy S plus is rooted with Root-i9001-Signed.
Please help me. I like to change to another ROM, but first a i like to backup my old ROM incase of.
ROM Manager sometimes doesn't like the CWM version you have on your phone. Do a nandroid backup by booting your phone into recovery, select backup and restore>backup.
I'm afraid I don't know the button combo to get into recovery for your phone but I'm sure a search of the relevant thread will tell you.
I try that also, in recovery mode, but the term backup of restore didn't show up.
only boot, foto install and update from zip file, wipe chache

lg p970h recovery mode

all my apps and setting dissappered
can i restore them ??? i have most of it on the sd card
Please HELP !!!!
Did you do a factory reset or flashed a custom rom? Then I think the answer is "no".
If you made a nandroid backup you can restore it and then use Titanium backup or similar to backup your apps and settings and afther that you can flash back your custom rom.
You can't if you didn't make a backup before.

[Q] Are backups interchangable among recoveries?

Are backups unique to the system used?
If I create a backup with PhilZ CWM can I install it with TWRP backup?
In other words, if I switch to TWRP do I need to make new backups or can I rely on those done with CWM?
I don't think twrp can restore a Philz backup, but Philz can restore a twrp backup. I've never tried it before, but the option is there.

[Q] Recovering data after a wipe

I've unlocked the bootloader on a HTC Desire 510. This triggered a wipe. Afterwards, I wiped the system using the recovery. I had some photos on the internal SD card that I need to recover ASAP. Currently, the phone doesn't have any ROM, and I can only access it through fastboot and adb (adb in Phillz recovery). I've tried pulling the images from /sdcard/DCIM, but it doesn't pull anything, saying that no files are there.
I'm thinking of running photorec on the phone, but since it's the internal SD card, I can't mount it to the PC from the recovery. I thought of putting a ROM .zip on an sdcard and flash it, but I'm afraid that a flash would make recovery impossible. Is there a way I can dump the internal sdcard image just through fastboot and adb? Any ideas would also be most welcome.

flashing a new ROM.zip will only delete everything for sure.
I'm sory to say it, but by my knowledge there's only one way to recover them, and that's by recovering a backup on recovery mode.
I hope you did make a backup before unlocking your bootloader. If you didn't, I think there's not very much you can do :s
anyway, please remember to ALWAYS make a recovery backup before doing anything in recovery.

What kind of backup??
For a nadroid backup you need a custom recovery, and to flash a custom recovery you need a unlocked bootloader...

Yes, AFTER I unlocked the bootloader. There were all in all two wipes, although the second one was only /data and /cache.
I did a backup using adb, but to my knowledge, that's only a backup of the apps and their data.
When you unlock a bootloader phone, you lose everything, including photos, musics, etc.
Do you have a backup of your files?
Sorry bad english
If I were you, I would restore the backup with adb and see if you have your photo's back.
Otherwise I have no idea for how you can restore them sory...

Why does nobody read my OP? I said the phone doesn't currently have a ROM on it. I can't restore that backup.
I'm going to flash busybox, a 300kb zip file that probably won't overwrite too much data, and use dd to get what I need.
If you have an adb backup of your files in the pc, you can extract it and get your photos back

Problem restoring OOS nandroid backup after flashing a custom rom

I'm testing various custom rom so often I want to go back from the custom rom to OOS. I have a twrp backup of my OOS, the problem is that i cannot restore it properly. If, from the custom rom, I reboot to recovery and restore the backup, the phone bootloops. I've also tried to format data and rebooting to recovery before restoring the backup, but this doesn't work either.
The only way I've found to properly restore the backup is to completely reflash OOS via MSM tool (or fastboot), but this takes really a lot of time, because apart from the MSM tool installation itself, it relocks the bootloader so I have to wait for the system to boot up, toggle oem unlock, unlock again the bootloader, wait for the wipe and for another system boot up, boot in twrp using fastboot command, transfer 13GB of data to the phone and then FINALLY restore the backup.
Is there an easier, and most important, faster, way to restore the backup?
