It's just a ROM that is modified to look like Windows 8, yes you can lose your data if you don't backup. Other than that, there is no danger.
I can't backup my 25 gb of data, i only have a 32 mb micro sd...
Thanks for your answer !
Copy it to your PC and just copy it back if you run into any issues.
I'll still need to reinstall the apps all over again...
That's why you're copying your SD data to your PC then making a backup.
But how do you make this backup ?
Thx for your answers !
Use titanium backup (buy the pro if you don't have it) to make app backups so you can restore across flashes. And then you can connect your Xoom to your PC, and copy all your files over to make sure you don't lose any data during the flash.

I tried it with EOS 4 build 167 and it didn't work. Wouldn't ever get past the "dual core" screen. So I simply reverted to my backup.

Hi, i have tried porting this using many roms, eos(different builds), cm 9 and 10, project orca and i think it was killrom 4.2.
I am a complete novice when it comes to this but i managed to boot up with w8 boot screen then got stuck there, next attempt got booted but not with w8 boot screen, had extra apps and icons to mess with but for some reason i could not get the screen to look much like the brobot175 video, eventually i gave up.
Didn't mind spending time on it just started to get annoyed when not looking right.
Hope someone else has luck with it:confused

I would like to do a complete back up of the kernel, rom, apps, data, etc. and move it all over to another Nexus 7.
Is it possible to do a complete backup and restore via USB? Backup to Desktop, and then restore into the new 7?
If so, what is the best way?
Thanks!
If you use an older version of cwm (pre 6.x.x.x) it will create a single backup file instead of the current system with the blobs folder. However I would be very wary of moving one backup to another

Let me explain. I am replacing my Nexus 7 with a new one, and don't want to have to set it all up again because it's perfect right now
No clean way to do this? I have to just rebuild it all over again on the new 7?
If you are rooted, you can almost do it that easy, but you would need to unlock and root the new device first, install recovery and then move the saved nandroid backup to the new device and use recovery to restore that and you would have a copy of your old device on the new one.
The last time I did that,I was up and running on the new device in about 15-20 mins.

If you are not rooted, there is another method, but I've never actually tried doing it, so I don't know how well it works.

Thanks. That helps alot. I am rooted so should be good to go. I was not aware that the nandroid file could be saved and restored to a new device.

On my Android phone, Nandroid does not back up the internal (/emmc) data nor the /sdcard data. Does it back up EVERYTHING on the Nexus 7?
Hi I have a problem with my Nexus 7 (32 gb wifi only version).
My son in his infinite wisdom decided to install ubuntu on the tablet.
I went to try and restore this back to the android version but all it did was to wipe off ubuntu itself
I then went on jayceooi.com and used the nexus toolbox to see if I could reflash the images etc.Howveer although all the files were downloaded I canot get the laptop to recognise the nexus itself (even though it sems to charge the tablet). There is no menu at all to check whether or not usb debugging is ticked or not..
Im now left with the tablet without no apparent operating system. At the moment all it shows is the green android with fastboot mode but when I hit start it says booting failed.
Could someone help please before I do any more damage and I brick it completly (although I may have already done so)
thankyou for any help

Yes it can do restore back to stock. Just follow the guide to unlock bootloader so it can flash stock image then just re lock bootloader. It covers the process in op.

Ok thanks all. Seemed to be doing everything ok but its been stuck on"waiting for your device to finish booting back up" for about 30 minutes now. It did say it would take 5 to 10 mins but should i carry on waiting or abort and start again do you think?
thanks
I would reset it see if that helped

If your son re did the partitions for Ubuntu that could have messed things up pretty good. I have only had my nexus for a few days so I couldn't tell you how to fix the formatting quite yet. I would search around on how to verify and correct the partitions if needed.

Hi all,
I was hoping someone could shed sime light to my situation. I have a rogers S4 and I rooted it via motochopper and it worked fine. Restored all my apps from Titanium backuoband all was well.
This morning my phone then got stuck at the samsung boot screen and I had to wipe data via the stock recovery to get iy working again...
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? This is thr 3rd time this has happened

My guess would be the titanium backup. As it can mess things up, once in a while.

I would blame TB mess ups more on old data being restored that causes problems, than TB itself.
OP... Are your app backups from a different ROM? If so, then I would try restoring without data. Or fresh app installs.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
are you restoring system apps? or just user apps? if you are restoring system apps or something like the messaging storage, will normally cause problems in TB.
best to just connect to wifi and download all the apps again from playstore.
What I would do is odin back to stock do not restore anything for a day or 2, and monitor it. If it never does it again, then it was your backup, keep in mind some apps that worked on the G3, may not work on the G4.
Yes, this is Titanium, it happenned to me too, remember that doing that is like copying everything in the C: Program Files of a PC, formating the computer and restoring that folder, it might work, but you might end up in a lot of trouble overtime since the OS installs different part everywhere. Use Carbon aka Helium, its a much cleaner way to go
I was restoring apps (with data) and the backups were from older ROMs I used in my nexus 4. I am currently trying a non-rooted method for a few days and see if this problem reoccurs

I have no explanation of what has happened to my n7. It shut off by itself and just bootloops when I try to turn back on. I can get into recovery and I have a nandroid backup of a stock rom. Everytime I restore it restores system and then fails?? I flashed 3 different roms and all r flashed successfully but I get the same bootloops . I was using latest twrp and was get error I/o data / speedtest. Something else but I flashed cwm touch b4 I could jot down the errors . I figured it was twrp bug and didnt realize I wouldnt b able to flash back to twrp do to using gooim to write the image in the first place. I am desperate to find out what happened and I wont b near a pc for a few days. I have an unlocked rooted grouper version . I have read and searched b4 posting

it could be a hardware failure, maybe the mounted drive (emulated sd card) is corrupted and broken? the boot partition seems to be working
It sux cuz I wont have access to a pc for a few days

have you tried clearing the whole of /system /data /cache... everything except /sdcard then flash a new rom? maybe that'll clear some things up

Yes I wiped system /cache/dalvik/ and factory reset I did them all like 5 times each and flashed a brand new rom. Its so weird
Nothing works. I am always prepared for atuff like this with multiple nandroids cwm/twrp but they both fail to restore

Back in a few months ago I'm faced with that problem once, tried everything like factory reset, format system/data/cache/sd, install new ROM and also tried to restore by nandroid backup (that used to work fine before that problem occur) but non of these solutions work.
Finally I've to use fastboot to flash it to 4.1.2 (to format and re-partition the device) and flash it back to 4.2.2 and then it work fine again even with many custom rom and kernel installed to my N7 very frequent and today it still work just fine.

In the future, I'd refrain from flashing if you didn't have a computer on hand.

Electronics can be wacky sometimes
So you guys seem to load ROMs on your phone like my wife tells me I'm fat. What is your backup strategy? What tools do you use? I plan on helping the community by testing new ROMs but would like the phone to not be down for huge amounts of time and be able to revert to a known good configuration when a ROM goes bad.
Thanks

TWRP recovery makes full backups that you can revert to. It'll be like nothing wrong happened. Only takes about 2 minutes and it's up to you how often you do it. I make backups whenever I make major changes or flash a new ROM.
Thanks for info I'll do that

Yes, TWRP with a recent backup is like having a magical time machine. VERY important when you are rooted (being total admin of your handheld computer) and you are flashing new stuff which may be FANTASTIC or may be very buggy.
"Wow, wish I could go back to yesterday when my phone was working great!" You can.
I make a backup almost every day (or at least every other day), just as part of a morning routine, since it takes almost no effort and is cheap insurance. When I'm at work, I boot my phone into TWRP recovery, start the backup. Pick up the phone a few minutes later, delete the previous backup (I only keep one at a time), and then reboot the phone.
At least 3 or 4 times a year, I am VERY glad I made a backup.
You can even transfer off a backup file to a PC or elsewhere for safe-keeping if you wish.
Thanks did my first backup...

Probably a different conversation, but what about when you install from a fresh new ROM? Do you just download everything back from the play store? And configure your software from scratch or is there and easy method for that?

Titanium backup can backup apps and your settings that you can restore once you flash a fresh ROM.

I backup with a new hack. Or iffy vulnerability.
Otherwise I just flash.
Pictures are on Google photo backup
Phone numbers are on Google cloud,
All I have to do is install a working ROM and if I have to I can use twrp and a cable to transfer it over.
Is there a way to backup just app data, titanium took forever to restore apps and data. I found it easier to restore via google,but now have to restore all app data
