If You have installed Clockwork recovery.
Then u can backup ur entire rom.
For this boot into recovery then go to Backup and restore and select back up.
after completing all procedure reboot ur device.
Connect your device in PC through USB (Storage)
Go to clockworkmod folder\backup
u can see the file with the date name....copy it to ur PC folder and you r done.
Press help if I helped you....
Ok ihave cwd.Just if later something go wrong,i must install cwd again copy cotest of backup folder and restore?What this chieftec 450w backup?complate rom,os,settings?Example if i have another rom can i with this metod restore to this rom what i backuo it?
a nandroid back up takes an exact image of the whole phone. system, data, apps, contacts, everything. its then placed in the clockworkmod folder on the sd card.
when you restore the backup it will bring the phone back to the exact state it was in when you did the back up.
and as far as i know you cant just select parts of it. its all or none. also i think if you rename it it might mess up the m5d sum but dont quote me on it
I did it from boot menu.Turn on + volume down backup and restore,backup and thet is it,i just go to look where is file and save to my PC.
I use rom manager to rename the backups, and never had a problem.
Also you can extract things from nandroids, apps, data, sms settings etc with an app called app extractor, it's in the market and there's a thread on xda for it somewhere.

Lol,I happened to test the naming of nandroid last night and I used es file manager to name my nandroid "test(with original date name) and it worked perfect. I need to have little reminders of which backup is which nowadays.
" once its gone,its GONE."
Me too, I currently have 5 nandroids and 4 bootable roms in my boot manager folder, so glad I bought that 16gb card!

ive got 8gb and still got 6.5 free. Mmmmm bit of a memory junkie i think.
I have about 4gb left lol, 6gb music and another 6gb of roms, backups, themes, apps, icons, mods etc etc

Use Titanium Backup When u are done with the backup all files are located in A folder in your system. Than just copy that folder to your computer and your done

I have a problem. I deleted a few apps that i can't seem to install or get back, even if i download the apks and such. So i was wondering, if someone provided me with their stock nandroid backup, would it work on my Evo? I tried flashing a stock ROM but it didnt work, with the files i needed still missing, and I'm desperate to just have a completely stock nandroid backup. Anyone have any idea about this?
You can't (or really shouldn't) use a nandroid from a different phone. Why didn't a flash of a stock rom work? What apps are you trying to install?
We're comin from a pure power source.
So you can't take the apk files and use ES file manager and set it to root priv and mount permissions and install the apks that way from your sd card.
You can restore nandroids from other phones but not recommended. I did it from my old phone to my new one.
To make it work.
1. Make nand of your phone
2. Make nand on phone you want to use
3. Copy nand files over the top of the nand made on your phone.
4. Restore nand on your phone with modified files.
make sure you don't backup wimax on the source phone.
I can't install Facebook for sense and HTC peep
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Wouldn't it be much faster to flash a new rom and start over? If not faster def. safer, less chance of screwing up Wimax
I've tried flashing stock rom and fresh rom, both times these apps didn't show up, and when I try to install just the apk, it just says "application not installed "

You can easily delete wimax.img and remove its line from nandroid.md5 and you should be fine. As long as that img is gone, your wimax will be safe.
Find a copy of root explorer... using that, copy the apks that you want to your system>app folder ( your system will have to be mounted rewritable) once the apks are in place, change their permissions to resemble other apks in the folder... once you do that, reboot your phone
Use Amon RA recovery and uncheck wimax
hello everyone,
i got a lot of backups made with CWM. but i dont know which one is which android version, so i want to name them now, but is there anyway to find that out without flashing all of them?
thanks in advance.
i think you will have to flash them all and dont rename them cause you will have md5 missmatch
Sent from my LG-GT540 using XDA
You can extract system.img one by one and chack build.prop, and about renaming, rom manager can rename cwm backup.
i cant rename them? well thats annoying.... guess ill have to keep track of which is which android version on my pc
Heres a tip. Dont directly rename the folders. However just create a folder like "Swiftdroid asis" and then put the clockworkmod backup folder thingy into it so it looks like
C:\Users\Jun Hui\Desktop\CWM backups\Swiftdroid Asis\2012-03-08.00.59.44
Red shows that its on my desktop
Green shows that this folder contains CWM backups
Blue shows that its a Swiftdroid Asis backup
Black finally shows that this backup was from this date (dont change this date and times as they will have errors later!)
and i can use the same system when i just leave them on my sd card?
Okay, this is the 2nd time this has happened.....my phone.apk has disappeared from my phone, EC09.
Last time I just blew everything up and started over. This time I refuse to do that. I'm using Dialer One, so at the moment, things are not urgent. But I do want my touchwiz dialer back.
I've backed up the app with Titanium Backup on a previous nandroid backup, and it will not restore the phone app on my current ROM. I've also tried using ADB and the install command, and I get a "install parse failed no certificates" error message.
Anyone have a way to solve this problem for me?
UPDATE: I found a valid backup from TiBu that worked for me and another user. Download this zip, unzip the files into your Titanium Backup folder on your SD card. Scroll through the apps/backups in TiBu until you find [Voicemail] Dialer 2.2.2, restore app+data. Should be good to go!
Download Dialer Tab Titanium Backup files
This seems to be a common thing happening on this phone. This also happened to me when i was running complete stock no root a while back and I had to do a hard reset to get it back. I don't know what the apks issue is but its happening to a lot of people and so far the only way to get it back that I know of is to do a hard reset.
I also lost dialer on EC09 awhile back, gave up trying to fix. Just have also just been using Dialer 1. Odd thing with it though is I had to dial 911 and it wouldn't let me, every time inputted numbers it would bring up my contacts and wouldn't let me dial it.

Well I guess it's mildly comforting to know I'm not alone with this problem. I know there must be a way to get the dialer back without a hard reset. I just got tired/overwhelmed of researching exactly how Android handles apk's and how ADB works.
I have the apk. I just haven't been able to get it on my phone properly.
Well, the problem has been solved.
Apparently the backup I made of the phone app through Titanium Backup was corrupt. I had an entire backup of my SD card on my hard drive and I tried restoring the phone app from that. Titanium Backup restored it fine.
I couldn't understand why TiBu would be unable to restore an app IT backed up! Apparently it wasn't unable to!
If anyone wants the three files created by the backup, I can zip them up and post them.

If not to much trouble I would like a copy of them, as my Tibu won't restore either and tried another method offered here somewhere without success and just gave up.

Phone 2.2.2 backup up with TiBu
Nevermind I see it's resolved.
Okay since this is zip I believe it just gets installed through recovery, am I right. So when I try it just hangs at installing, had to pull battery to restart phone.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using Tapatalk 2
I'm sorry for not explaining things with the link. That is the three files that Titanium Backup creates when backing up an app. I zipped them into one file. Unzip them into your Titanium Backup folder on your SD card, and restore the phone app through Titanium Backup.
Well I give up, just going to stick with Dialer 1. Took zip, extracted and moved to Tibu backup folder, went into Tibu, didn't show up in apps list went to batch and reinstalled from batch mode and still nada. Tibu shows as installed but not there. Under application settings it shows 0.00 for file size, that can't be right, so guessing did not install.

fix!
No need for any flashing!!!
Just go into a file explorer (like root explorer) and go into system/app/ and look for the app the has disappeared and hold it down, a menu will pop up and go down to permissions.
there will be 3 columns. The first one should have all 3 boxes checked, the second column should only have the top box checked, and the last column should have all boxes UNCHECKED.
After you do that press ok and there should be a pop up saying that permissions were changed!
And that's it! Your app should be back! If not, try installing it after u change the permissions by pressing down on the app until u get a pop up and press open with, then pick apk handler, then just install, and it should work!
I'm new to the forums, so I hope this is helpful!

No one has suggested or recommended flashing in this thread, to my knowledge.
Killyjoy's suggestion may very well work, but the file you downloaded from me might not have been the right one.
I have two trios of files that came from Titanium Backup when I was trying to restore the phone app. One trio has the word "phone" in it...and that's what you downloaded from me the first time, the other trio has the word "dialer" in it, and that is here
My initial instructions should still apply. Unzip these three files into your Titanium Backup folder of your SD card. Look in TiBu for "[Voicemail] Dialer"
You should see that there is a backup from 4/06/12. If the app shows as installed on your phone, I'd uninstall it (MAKE SURE you see that TiBu recognizes a backup exists first) and then restore the app+data from the backup.
That's how I got back up and running......if you want to give the TiBu method one more go.

Sorry, I just browsed thru the comments real quick and thought I saw the word flashing in there lol. But this way definitely works, I lost my phone apk. 2 times after installing tb101 mod and I got it back both times.
I figured I'd post some screencaps so you guys could maybe understand what I was saying a little bit better.
Hope they help!

If using Tibu to reinstall back up, I had to verify back up was there then uninstall in TiBu and then reinstall.

Ok so I think I've got it figured out.
You delete the app that's missing out of the system
/app folder.
Copy and paste the new app into the system/app folder.
And then check the permissions and then reboot and it should be there.
Note: the app that your replacing needs to be from the Same ROM. So just download the rom your using and extract the app and go from there.
So next time your app goes missing, try this method and let me know if it works.
I have a rooted Nexus 7 running the ROM aokp_grouper_jb_build-5. If I backed up this ROM in Clockworkmod recovery, then installed a new ROM, would I be able to restore back to my AOKP ROM if I didn't like the new ROM I installed?
Yep
It's not a problem. You can back up your new ROM too. Be sure to put something in the name of your backups to let you know which ROM it is. I usually leave the date & then put the ROM name in, such as 2012-10-28-AOKP.
No problem at all

When I back up my ROM it doesn't let me choose a name for the backup. How can I change the name of the backup?
I use TWRP and you have to set the name of the backup before you start the backup process

Just use your file explorer to find the file & rename it. If you are using Clockwork, there will be a folder on your sdcard called clockwork, and in that is a folder called backups. your backup file is in there, named something like 2012-10-28.12.10.3242, which is the date & time of the backup.
Hi,
I backup my system with nandroid using CWMR mode. I save it into my computer, then I wipe down my SD card. If I want to use CWMR to restore that backup, where do I copy the file to so that it will be recognized in recovery mode?
Thank you,

If I back up app+user data on my current rom, and let say later i do a factory reset and flash to another rom. Will the titanium back up still be there for me to restore later? If so, will I get the same app, and all user date like sms, picture onto my new rom?

Yes, u can restore your app data as long as you don't format your sdcard partition, to be safe, you can just copy the whole TB folder to your pc.
For sms, you will need to restore system data, which is not recommended when changing roms, maybe just select sms and restore from TB.
Pictures will still be available, again, to be safe, just copy everything to your pc, just in case.
