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.

Uhhhh, use Clockworkmod's back-up(you can find it in Latest recovery>Back and Restore menu). It's the best you got. Depending on the number of apps you have and their size, the back-up might range up from 700mb to 1gb+. It's gonna be a complete image back-up just like you do it on Windows .
thanks, but how can we Restore the backup?

Just launch Clockworkmod then go to Backup and Restore And restore your backup.. lol
no, don't listen to them! the best way would be to strictly avoid reading other posts and immediately open a new thread about "how to wipe your behind"!

Wipe Factory data in stock recovery.
Re-install your Sbf,
then re-root,
re-install 2nd-init
then you can restore your backup.
Hope it helped
Hello, it's me again with new set of questions
My device is GT-I9001
1) What is Nandroid backup? Is it complete system image backup like Acronis True Image, created with CWM, because i have CWM installed?
2) I am planning to install CM9 on my device, is it possible to restore my apps completely with settings, and games completely with passed levels with Titanium (I've got Pro version). I need to know if any problem could arise when restoring? I also read not to restore system apps, my question is why?
3) Am I installing CM9 via odin or via cwm? I saw two files gapps and cm9, which is firstly installed?
4) How to wipe before installing custom ROM?
5) Could you find me Stock ROM for my phone, I've got no luck finding it? Here is PDA and CSC

1. yes, it is complete system image backup (can be created using CWM)
2. yes, you can restore apps including their settings via titanium backup.
3. please read the installation guide for your device.
4. wiping can be done via CWM
5. find it on your device sub-forum.
1) Ok, I understand...
2) There is still more questions I asked...
3) I cannot ask there until 10 posts, and it's a bit unclear/confusing to me...
4) I know that, what I need to wipe. I figured it's system, cache and dalvik...
Is it needed to go into mounts and storage and to format system, data and cache...
Is sdcard and emmc needed to be wiped?
5) I already said I cannot find it...
Anyone knows the answers?

2) if you just restore User-Apps you can not do anything wrong. Only if you restore Systemapps that are not for your new system.
If this happens you can easily restore your nandroid and start over again
3) Odin is more or less only for Stock Roms. CM is flashed through CWM
4) nope! If you do the Wipe, system, data etc. will be formated
5) you can easily find stock roms for almost every samsung device on sammobile.com
Thanks for clarifying
I searched every possible site, but still can't find my stock firmware
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 all.
I tend to switch Roms here and there, or load a new version and have to wipe and format.
I was wondering what the best way to restore is.
I am debating between;
Using titanium backup to restore only apps plus data - is this best to load the ROM and restore after installing the titanium app?
Or make a zip file and install from recovery? Also if from recovery, should I let the ROM load first then load zip second time around?
Alternately, I can use my backup pro and restore all. But again, is it a zip file to restore in recovery ? And if yes, when is best to do it? After ROM install or let ROM load first? I noticed recovery pro also has the options of sms, call logs and other settings which is nice.
Please let me know your thoughts and if any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Titanium for when you are rooted and Helium for when you are not rooted. Helium also backups sms calls if i`am right. I use CallTrack to store the phonelogs and display them in Google Calendar.
Hi and thanks. I am rooted.

I have used titanium for years, has never failed me. It also backs up and restores sms and mms. I have also used rom toolbox pro and my backup pro in the past.

Hey there,
I want to wipe my phone because of several problems that occur and I believe that they can be solved by resetting my phone with the following procedure:
Wipe my phone with Twrp completely, then flash latest oxygen os, then magisk.
But: is there a way I can reinstall all my apps in the status as they are now?
Should I backup data now and flash this part after the said flashing of Rom and magisk?
Thank you all!
Do the nandroid backup which will bring your phone back to its state after installation. Or backup data and apk files of your apps and then restore it.
