Yes you can if you install a custom recovery.
And once your recovery is installed, you can make a backup and this is complete image of your phone.
Except all of your data which are on your sdcard.
And I suppose that you have different guides in the S3 forum with all guidelines for install and use a recovery
So take a little bit of time and search, read and compare a little and when you are ready, you can install your recovery
custom recovery

Thank you for the help and so quick response.
I have search already on different forums about recovery but I read things like ADB, custom rom, flashing and so on....So I am afraid about doing something wrong which can break my phone. Till yesterday I haven't root my phone because of scare to do something wrong.
Then accident happened. My memory cheap break (without reason, nobody knows why). Samsung service change memory cheap (on warranty), but I have loose all my data. When I say data I mean my application with a few years data filled in (like t2expense, aCar....).So I have made search all over the net about rooting and making FULL (image) backup. Then I found the easiest way to root my phone with CF-Auto-root and that make me happy because was really quick and simple. I buy also Titanium backup and make full backup (all app, user+data). But then I read on different forum that Titanium backup isn't image backup and if I want to make complete image like backup I need nandroid backup.
So please don't be angry if I say that I don't understand what mean "install custom recovery" I want something like CF-Auto-root; simple !! Is there a simple way to do this "install custom recovery". I want to do this quick and simple without hassle. I don't have experience, and I not shame to say I am an idiot for the Android. Before my Galaxy S3 I have iPhone so, it is normal that I am afraid. I read so many about custom rom and all other thing that my head is full of android stuff. To much at the moment. I only want if there is possibility to make image of my phone (like True Image in windows)so if phone break I don't need to install all application again. I have try to search like you mentioned for the "install custom recovery" but I again find so many confusing info like for example bellow; So I am to afraid to do this without afraid that I will loose my data. If you can help me with some better way I will appreciate and I say thank you in advance.
One more time Thank you very much,
Slavko
Method 1:
1. Download the ROM Manager App: HERE
2. Flash CWM Recovery as the Verizon Galaxy S3.
Method 2:
- Stock Recovery, or CWM Recovery Touch
- TWRP 2.2 Recovery
- CWMod Based 6.0.0.8 Recovery for d2vzw 6.0.0.8
1. Download one of the recoveries you like best from above ^
2. Place the .img file onto your sdcard
3. Open terminal and type in these lines: (be sure to change the below)
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
# reboot recovery
Hi, this is my first post on XDA after about 3 months of surfing the site reading tutorials and such :good::good:, and found much useful stuff as this guide here :good::good:
..... I used the method to backup certain partitions (data, system, boot) via adb to *.raw images which i tested on PC and found working
Now what i really want is a similar method to restore these *.raw images to the device directly from PC (the same but to restore without the need of an sdcard as i dont have one) , but i couldn't figure out how to do it. ..... Any help please???
Any help or suggestions please .... after backing up i installed Revolt ROM to try it thinking that i could restore at a later time but now I can't and i dont have any of my apps !!
After tinkering with the tablet and trying my best to restore it I finally was able last night to restore it to a clean install using this method. I'm sure there may be other ways to do it as well but this worked for me and was painless.
1. Make sure the tablet is rooted/unencrypted using Vampirefo's guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-nextbook-ares-8-twrp-recovery-t3133165
2. Make a backup of your System, Boot, etc. of your current boot-looped ROM with TWRP.
3. With TWRP's file manager, go into the internal storage and delete all the files within the backup folder.
4. Download this backup:
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=19085CD12562E567%21931&cid=19085CD12562E567&group=0&parId=19085CD12562E567%21925&authkey=%21AHmuVovnpuzX0tI&action=locate
5. Extract the files from the zip and copy them over to the backup folder on the internal storage.
6. Go to Restore on TWRP and dance.
After many attempts of trying to restore from an external SD card and from just creating my own TWRP backup folder, TWRP just wouldn't see the backup until I copied and replaced. I'm glad it worked and I hope it helps anyone else who needs a restore.

An absolutely great post! You need a special thanks because this ability to recover from catastrophe likely will encourage others to move forward with more daring mods. I feel much more secure in playing with a few ideas knowing you have the base Rom and recovery spelled out and that it actually worked (Yes, I knew how, but knowing it worked for sure is huge!)
Thanks,

Now if only some kind hearted dev would release a ROM....
Actually, after you root and decrypt it, and fix the cpu governor and such, and get rid of the google apps that you don't use, with the exception of the lollipop HW overlay flaw it is not a bad ROM to start with. I wiped most of the Google stuff and put in Nova launcher. Now the device is quite manageable and very fast without much further help. Here is a pretty good summary of the device for anyone who has the tools to build a ROM: http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=ee2d-39de-0033-c5870033c587 with the exception I can not find that the FM radio exists in the device although the hardware seems to say it is there..........
what do you mean cpu governor?

P.S. I got it to work from my SD card but I did have to make a backup with TWRP first, then pop the SD card into the PC delete all the files from the folder and copy your files into the folder that TWRP had created. Otherwise it didn't show up at all... Anyway Thanks again! :victory:

i am having the same basic problem, i flashed twrp and supersu not sure what i did wrong or if it rooted succesfuly, i do have twrp but wont boot past recovery. twrp says it cant mount data and i cant back up., and have no os. how can i fix this ?
im new to this whole thing so please give me step by step if you can and any links or downloads you can, please help :crying: this tablet is how i comunicate w my daughter... in colorado. i need it up and running
I partitioned my Ares 8 and now it is stuck awaiting fastboot command. Any ideas?
Can someone help me? Why does mine fail when restoring system?
My ares 8 is stuck in DNX mode and will not enter recovery, and is pretty hosed. I need a scatterfile and rom so I can flash it and use it for something besides a paperweight. Thanks 1000 times in advance!
Ahhh, after several hours of reading, I managed to get recovery back, but cannot seem to flash a rom successfully, and also my backup - says it was successful but when I reboot, it goes straight to DnX mode and I have to use a batch file to get back to recovery. But progress has been made and hopefully by today I will have it back up and running an OS
Hi, i have Nextbook Ares 8 after rooing i can't boot the device it has an error says "Your device is unable to start because the Android OS image has failed to verify" please help me to fix this problem.
Hi all,
I have a Wiko Rainbow Jam (which is provided with the stock rom "Wiko Rainbow Jam version 8", Android Lollipop 5.1 and the latest updates from Wiko), is about a week that I attempt to root my phone, but I am unable to do this operation, since I am totally unable to mount the /system as RW, and furthermore the bootloader is locked.
Firstly I found this method which consist to write/flash the TWRP custom recovery in place of the original one:
Root method 1
(sorry for the Google Translate link, but I cannot find the same how-to in English)
Which seems similar to this how-to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63803008&postcount=5
But seems that these two methods will wipe/erase everything on my phone, and I would avoid this risk.
I also read that by flashing another custom recovery I will be unable to install updates from Wiko.
Then I tried this method using adb which is more simple:
https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/tutorial-how-to-root-an-android-device/
But when I launch the "adb root" command, all that I get is "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"; so I attempted various workarounds to "fix" adb, but all unsuccesfully.
I have to mention the fact that I have some skills in using Linux and the shell commands: maybe there would be a way to place the "su" binary on my Phone using Linux on my computer, by logging on the phone as root user, by acquiring the needed privileges?
Any help/suggestion/hints would be very appreciate! :good:
Kind regards.
I have a mtk6580 phone and also had the root issues, for a while I used kingroot, which rooted fine but I didnt trust it. Then I used supersume to get rid of kingroot which seemed to work but again, wasnt 100% it was all gone. Followed a similar guide to your first link which wasnt working. What worked for me was:
Download the twrp recovery .img file
rename it to recovery.img
open SPflash tools
add your own scatter file from your stock rom
deselect all the boxes except recovery
double click the recovery address box and find the renamed recovery.img
click download
plug your turned off phone in,
let it flash.
reboot into recovery
select reboot system
TWRP will tell you its not rooted and ask to install superSU
swipe for yes
reboot and you are rooted.
NO DATA LOSS
Thank you for this detailed how-to! However, for me, nor kingroot, kingoroot, framaroot and no other apk worked on my phone, so I will attempt to try your method, but first I have some questions:
1): On my phone, under SETTINGS > DEVELOPER OPTIONS, I can see the option “OEM unlocking”: I have to enable this option to permit the flashing of the TWRP img?
2): Is ok to download TWRP from here? dl.twrp.me/i9300/twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar.html
3): "add your own scatter file from your stock rom":
where I can get/grab such file?
4): "TWRP will tell you its not rooted and ask to install superSU":
so TWRP is already provided with the SuperSU utility?
5): To be sure to avoid any risk, here I have a backup of my phone, which was done using "adb backup -apk -shared -all"; in case of emergency I will be able to restore my phone using this backup?
Many thanks for your attention! :good:

Ok, seems that such file was available in the first link:
s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=53888272183191245346&t=5388827218319124534686744
is called MT6580_Android_scatter.txt , can you take a look and tell me if is ok?
Many thanks!
1) cant hurt to turn it on, however the phone will be flashed whilst turned off so dont know if its needed, but Im sure I wouldve enabled it.
2) and 3) I dont know what your exact model number etc.. is for your phone, so the twrp you would have to find and check yourself, go here: http://www.needrom.com/category/others/u-v-w-x-y-z/brands-w/wiko/ and you can try to get a twrp from there, and definetely get a stock rom. Use the scatterfile from an 'SP TOOLS FLASHABLE STOCK/UPDATE ROM'
4) yes
5) I dont know, I dont use adb and wouldnt like to say its OK. You can use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en which will make a TWRP or CWM backup of your entire phone which you can then flash in TWRP or CWM once they are flashed, or get all the data from the backup. I would advise to find this out before trying though, just in case. I personally didnt lose any data, flashed twrp in SPtools, took 5 seconds, rebooted, added SU, rebooted, took 2 minutes and everything was still there.

it has to be a scatter file from your exact model of phone, as everything has to match, partitions, nvram...etc... loads of things that can go wrong if the scatter is wrong

Yeah, it took about 2 minutes, just the time to figure out that I needed the USB OTG cable with an usb mouse and to browse to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76.zip file (as I said I used the TWRP posted in the first link, which doesn't work with the touch screen).
I want to say thank you again for your friendly assistance!

Hi, first of all, thank you for reading me.
I think i messed up big time.
I had Havoc OS 4.1 installed since more than a year and it was kinda messy e.g. the sim card card wasnt recognized anymore so wasnt able to make calls because i played to much in the settings.
Having some stupid but incredibly addictive games on this smartphone i decided to keep it like this and since i'm a complete n00bs and being afraid of security risk of rooting my device i never rooted it.
Big mistake.
So, recently, one games needed an update (like they all do at least once a week) and since i'm anti-google/f***book (no comment please) i nvever saved my progress in the cloud and "that" game required absolutely an update.
I installed the update from an alternative apk source and , (applause if you want and laugh), it screwed up the game.
Now the nightmare begin.
Since the device isnt rooted i made a backup of /data partition. Gone crazy and before i might explode in an uncontrollable fury and madness i used LMSA to rescue the phone. And myself, lol.
Now i have stock android and i am googled to the bone. My butt hurts. My head too.
THE (first) simple question is : how can i restore this backup because i have the error 255?
Notes and observations; logically i would say because the device is back with stock rom and doesnt have the same os/rom installed and/or the partition and whatever is not the same wich may explain the error 255.
SECOND QUESTION: can i extract/uncompress this backup and take the precious data wich is my games progresses and restore it somehow?
I know i have to give as much information possible but i dont what else to give. If you need logs, or everything else just say it nicely and i will give it to you with immense pleasure.
Oh yeah, model : XT2113-2 5g Kiev RETCA 128gb a/b type and maybe was crypted before because twrp asked me the password to make backup or else.
Thank you in advance and i really hope somebody would help, if not i just loosed 1.5 years of stupid gaming because i messed up like an idiot. (A lesson well learned, the hard way...)
Thank you so much for not answering this simple question.

The problem is it's a Motorola with a Qualcomm chip.
If you find a solution I would love to see it.

These precious brief and concise 2 lines of a simple answer is immensely welcomed.
Wich point me to reply that to my knowledge i interpret it as a security chip with big chances that its in relation to the knox technology.
It also point me to ask WHY, if i cant back up because of that, why/how is it possible to install a custom rom or gsi (sorry i still dont make the difference because i dont understand it) on this very protected smartphone?
That must explain why i had problems trying to root it and fail each time.
Finally i think that i should use another device for android gaming since i dont want to depend on f***book and google.
Thanks again sd_shadow. Even if it was a very simple answer it enlightens me alot.
Note: sorry for my bad english.

This error code means that at some point your backup of /data could not be extracted further. But for more detailed infos you must provide a recovery.log which will be generated when doing a backup of e.g. /boot.
>>> Please DO NOT copy+paste it here!! <<<Rename it (recovery.log > recovery.log.txt) to be able to upload it within "Attach files".

Yes, use Titanium Backup (TB). Although it's very outdated it still features a restore of single apps out of a TWRP backup. Here's how you do it:
1. IMPORTANT: TB will only search for TWRP backup files on internal storage!! Use the default path created by TWRP, e.g.: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/ZY322V8K28/2023-04-08--06-53-20/
2. Install and open Titanium Backup.
3. In the upper right corner tap
MENU > scroll down to "Extract from Nandroid backup" > choose your backup folder
##############
Notes:
- Usually a TWRP backup of /data consists of several parts (data.ext4.win000, ~win001, ~win002 etc). TB requires all of them (or at least those ones with the /data/data/ path inside).
- If you are facing this error message:
Could not find any data in this TWRP backup
then your TWRP backup is compressed with gzip. To decompress it you must rename the file
data.ext4.win001 > data.ext4.win001.gz
and extract it with any archiver tool, e.g.:
- ZArchiver (Android)
- 7zip (Windows)
- Problems finding any TWRP backup data with Titanium Backup? Then please check your path!! (see above section)
Good luck!!
Thank you very much WoKoschekk i'll do it as soon i'll have the time for since i'm working today.
Thank you so much again, i'll keep you posted with logs and such.
I'm sorry i didnt gave news since, i'm not doing very well.
there's those 2 question i still have in my head;
1-With all the instructions you gave me is it worthy to continue because when i did the backup i wasnt rooted?
2- i'm sure i read many time to use Titanium Backup (wich is a paid app?) i have to be rooted or have root access.
Ultimately, how can i be rooted if there's a chip preventing me to do so?
I'll keep you posted when i'll be of better health, thank you.

TWRP backup = *.tar archive
TB unpacks the needed app's data and nothing else. You must be rooted to have access on /data for restoring your apps. But for the backup process it doesn't matter if you were rooted. Root is part of your boot.img.

TB is for free. But a paid version unlocks additional features (not related to the TWRP restoring feature).
And yes... root is mandatory for TB. As I said before you must have r/w access on /data/*.

Which chip?? You already have root access via TWRP. Magisk is only needed in system and just a patched boot.img (custom kernel).
Get well soon!
WoKoschekk thank you for this insanely fast reply.
All those answers and infos have now a gigantic value for me, if only i knew that before.
To describe a bit more my situation i slept only few hours since 5 days, vomiting, heavy coughs and fever.
I'm sure i'm not supposed to but i will anyway, i engage myself and promise to reward you (in particular) and others for the help you're bringing me. It wont be much but very important to me.
I'll go try to get (again) some rest. Just before i go, why was there a mention about my device;
"
The problem is it's a Motorola with a Qualcomm chip.
If you find a solution I would love to see it.
"
I dont ask you (WoKoschekk) or other to explain in the most explicit and endless details of what is exactly this "chip" and all the history that goes with it cause i dont want to be a pain but just why it was mentionned. Only, why?, it has ben mentionned.
I cant wait to get better since i finally see possibilities to get back those files.
Have a nice week-end and thanks again.
@Kerplunk83 To reveal the mystery behind "the chip": Motorola released two variants (Snapdragon/Mediatek CPU) of this model. Since the CPU largely determines the system structure, building a functional TWRP for both of them is very challenging. It seems that TWRP for the SD's variant got some bugs while the MT's variant runs more smooth. Due to this fact the error 255 is caused by something that you weren't be able to fix.
Regarding your problem: To restore an app and its specific app data you need the proper permissions to write in /data/data and /data/app. For this permissions you either need TWRP or Magisk installed. TWRP seems to be unable to write in that specific directory. On the other hand you don't want to install Magisk. I'm sorry but with this setup your problem can't be fixed.
Just out of curiosity, could you provide me a recovery.log showing error 255 during the restore process?
Please DO NOT copy/paste the whole log and post it here!! Instead of this you should rename the file (recovery.log => recovery.txt) because a file called *.log isn't allowed for upload. But a *.txt file is.
Options to create a recovery.log:
1. adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
=> copies a recovery.log into your ADB/fastboot folder
2. Do a backup of sth. like "boot" because the backup process will create a recovery.log by default
3. TWRP mainscreen > advanced > create log (kernel log isn't needed here)
=> log is stored on the default storage (internal or external) that you have choosen for backups etc.
