Backup Data?

Hey i want to Backup my complete Android 4.0 on my HD2, because i want to change the partitions...
So how can i backup my:
-apps
-contacts
-words in keybord
-calender
as easy as possible pls

boot into the recovery mode and select backup. can't make that easier.
this will make a nandroid backup of your whole phone to the sdcard, it will be a folder with images of the various mounts and is a complete system with everything in its current state. using the same tool you can also restore it. Since you want to adjust the partitions, the size of these images will also give you a good guideline of how large system and cache need to be minimally with your current rom setup.

ok thanks, thats an good answer

can u give me a short tutorial?
i cant find the backup button...

reading you wanted to backup your ICS rom, i figured you had just another android phone which pretty much all have clockworkmod as recovery mode installed. I have no experience with the HD2 though, which is original a windows phone. Dunno if that matter and if maybe you have a different recovery console to boot into?
basically it should look similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
one of the menu items should say "backup and restore" or just "Nandroid" (which is the name of the rom backup software). either way, select that and you'll enter a submenu where the choices "backup" or "restore" should be self explanatory. Backup will create a backup folder in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ and with restore you can navigate to backup files on the sdcard.
It could be that you have a different recovery console, then let me know which one. (similar to the pic above it will have the name on the top of the screen, or it will say somewhere like "build:"). Though most alternatives have a backup option too in a similar fashion.

ok thanks i found it now
really great help

Your welcome, glad you fixed it.

if i want to backup ervything, but want to use another rom (no android ics) how can i backup?

Nandroid backup and look at Rom toolbox for the app manager. I think it's better than titanium.

Nandroid from Recovery/Rom Manager for an entire Image Backup.
Titanium Backup App for bits and pieces like user data.

use My Phone Explorer..
its awesome..
u need to have it in phone and a client on system.
Auto Sync.
good feature

Suggestions for "Error mounting /sdcard"?
Rooted my TF101 and have the rogue/cwm recovery installed. I tried a Nandroid backup, but it anything to do with the SD card gives the above error.
I have a microSD in the tablet, too.

Figured it out. Came across a thread I'd missed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138346&highlight=error+mounting+sdcard afterwards, worked like a charm.

newbee with roms

I have rooted my nexus s 4g using sdk method, I'm thinking of diving into installing the cm-10 but need instructions. Pardon if by chance I'm in wrong forum, but they wouldn't let me swim in the developer pool yet.

Welcome to the world of flashing
WARNING!! this will delete all your apps and data so use a program like titanium backup to backup all of your apps and data.
1. Make sure you have CWM Recovery installed. (If not, download rom manager from the play store and flash it.
2. Download the rom you wish to install, and put it on the root of your sdcard. Plus the gapps if there are any.
3. Turn your phone off and hold the volume + button and power button at the same time to boot into the bootloader. Navigate using the volume buttons and select recovery using the power button. If you have the touch recovery you can use touch otherwise use volume keys and power button.
4. Go into backup/restore and click backup and scroll down and hit yes. (This makes a NANdroid, which is a backup of your stock rom. If anything goes wrong or stuck in a bootloop or just having problems, you can restore your stock rom using this)
5. Hit wide data/factory reset, wipe cache and then go into advanced and click wipe dalvik cache.
6. Go back and click install from sdcard and then choose from sdcard and then choose the rom you want to install.
7. Reboot and it should take about 5 Mins to reboot. (dont worry, everytime you install a new rom, it will take a little longer than usual)
8. Once rebooted, you will be asked to set up your phone like when you first got it.
Well done you just installed your first rom
Happy flashing.

Read this three times, then do it... this has every step from a new phone, so you may skip a couple steps.

Welcome to the NS4G club...now to down to businesses. If you want the east way just use ROM Manager it currently has a CM10 ROM in burnsa. Make sure on the options before flashing you select all 3. So you have a back up and a clean flash. Have fun

}
you can go into recovery mode by pressig ( volume up + power button)
To move between the options of the recovery, use the volume up/down buttons to navigate, and power button to select any option.
TO FLASH A ROM/MOD THROUGH RECOVERY:
go to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard> click on the rom of mod you want to flash/install.(remember to clear data,cache,dalvic-- read it below)
TO MAKE A BACKUP AND RESTORE:
The major feature of recovery is to backup your rom, so that if something unusual happens to your device(softbrick), you can go to recovery, and mend it.
Go to backup and restore, click on backup, to create a backup and click on restore to restore the backup image. Backup file takes about 500 mb of space(it varies with devices).
Make sure that your device is 30% charged, before carrying out these operations, as the process may take time.
before flashing a rom, do these wipes
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. advanced > wipe dalvic cache
If you dont do these, you me end up in a bootloop. in other words, your device will not start.
after completion, click on reboot system now.
at last, as you read in every post, i am not responsible for any bricked device.

Great guide
