It won't work, sorry. Backups are bound to the devices they have been created off. So you will only be able to restore backups from your own device.

Do you mean the backup files can identify the device ?
BTW thanks for your answer .I will give up my idea.

I don't know how it's done exactly. I believe that the device ID and or IMEI are somehow stored in the backup. So the backup will only be able to be restored if the data in the backup matches the data of the device.

Just restore back to stock firmware using Odin. You need to download a file called SGH-T769-UVLB7-hitsquad.tar and blaze.pit, load those up in Odin and unselect all options except Reboot. And carefully make sure Repartition is unchecked as well.

Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos B5512 Root

I can't root my Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos B5512... Can anybody help me?

yup, tell me wat problem you are facing..
i got the same device

The truth is that I am a newby... I have only read about routing and custom roms. But I can't even start trying to root my device because I can't enter recovery mode... When I press Vol Up + Home + Power Button it takes snapshots of my screen... I have read other forums about our device but I found nothing else...
Sent from my GT-B5512 using xda app-developers app

turn your cell phone off completely and then do that way

That works!
What shall I do next?
Is this (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-y-pro-duos-gt-b5512-root-65406/) the right way?
It's the easiest I have found...
How can I make a backup of my current version?
And how can I recover to factory conditions?

yes, you should start by rooting the cellphone. (but are you sure what rooting does and why to use it?)
hmm, your link is not what i had use, but if you are okay with it then go ahead.
about backup, find for CWM.zip, its a clockworkmod recovery skin. and you will find instructions in it. then you can backup/restore everything.
i suggest moving your backed up data to computer. then you can use ODIN too if you need...

Can you describe me what way you used, or send me a link?
Is there any way I can go back to factory conditions and how can I unroot my phone again?

Help With Nandroid To New Device

So I cracked my N5 and got a new one today. Did a Nadroid via CWM on the old phone and was looking to transfer to the new and then restore. I see that it's located in /mnt/etc/etc/ but I can't tell if I'm transferring it correctly or not.
I'm doing adb push (file) to /mnt/etc/ but since it's almost a 2gb file, I can't tell if it's working or if it's crashed out.
Is what I'm doing correct? I'm hoping once the transfer is done, I can just restore in RomManager.
Thanks guys!

First of all do not use Rom Manager as it is a buggy, unstable and crappy app. Uninstall it immediately and never use it again Flash CWM or Philz Touch CWM to make or restore a backup. Just place the nandroid you made via usb in the /clockworkmod/backup/ file and see if you can restore it in recovery.
- Edit- as @rootSU said don`t restore EFS or it will mess up you`re phone. Can you restore apps with Tit. Backup or Helium or adb?

Do NOT restore efs

I wouldn`t restore the backup cause the EFS files of your former and current phone are different. You will mess up your phone severely. Its best to restore your apps by other means.

So what's the best way to "clone" my broken device to the new one?

If you're using philz, you wont be backing up efs by default so restoring nandroid is fine. Can't talk for TWRP though

Unless you we`re able to isolate and delete your old EFS files from the backup and replace them with your current one i wouldn`t do it. Don`t know if thats possible and i wouldn`t know how to do that myself anyway. I`d just restore the apps and its data and set it up as you want to. Maybe someone else can give you better advice but thats what i can tell you.

Backed up and restored and everything appears to be going great! Thanks guys!
Is there a main thread for Philz so I can familiarize myself?

Thanks for that.
I didn't know about Philz Touch.
I am glad I can finally get the right date and time on my backups plus it adds the ROM name and version +1. :good:

In the Time settings, I set the Time Zone for my region and Time Zone offset to +0 min and used the Qualcom Time Daemon to get the current date and time.
That is what worked for me.
There is another recommended way?

U can use one switch app there u can make a backup.
And if u Stay at stock firmware u can restore also. The folder can be transferred to your pc.
OR in the Playstore search for partition restore OR something like that.
