Im copying all the backup data from my S3 into the titanium backup directory on the S4.
Is there anything I need to remove before I restore from the backup?
I dont want to screw up without a way to restore the firmware.
I obviously rooted the S4....
Just don't restore system apps.

Hey guys,
Hopefully you can help me, I've successfully rooted installed cwm and done a nandroid back up, I updated to the 2.3.5 update, I want to restore my files back to how they were with the 2.2 system, when I go to restore, should I restore boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext? I was under the impression this will reinstall the 2.2 rom
Thanks.
DON'T DO IT!
Use titanium backup: menu > more > extract from nandroid backup.
If you try use CWM, you will be stuck at bootlogo.

hey guys, I got a question about nandroid backup and since I have a huawei this seems to be the right thread
I'm about to get a new sd card class 10 to replace my current slower one..I want to know: if I make a nandroid backup with my clockwork recovery then I transfer it to the new sd card and plug it in my phone can I restore it from recovery? the recovery and the phone are the same, I will change just my sd card with the new one..it's too boring to reinstall everything so I'd like to know if I can do it this way
yes

Thank you! I asked because I tried in the past to put a custom rom this way but the backup wasn't mine..the cook of the rom shared his nandroid backup to let you have the rom already set up..but it was a mess because after the nandroid was restored the recovery automatically formatted the user data on the sd and when the phone boots was a disaster..maybe because the versions of the recoveries were different or because the phone was different..
Hey everyone,
I recently purchased the Gs4 and excited to root again. I was looking through the forums and had some questions. Should I use Titanium Backup for restoring data or TWRP? I did a nandroid of my stock ATT rom and want to install Liquidsmooth and then restore my apps and settings on top of that. Is this possible or do i need to be on a custom ROM first then backup my data and restore my data for future updates. Thanks, let me know!
It's recommended to never backup system data only app data. If you are staying on the same Rom your normally okay with setting but I don't recommend it. I do all my apps through TB, and my device id.

I'm going to be upfrading from PAC 4.2.2 to 4.4 when it releases. I have a lot of settings and apps and stuff.. What's the easiest way to backup my setting and stuff and restore them after flashing 4.4?

Hmmm...titanium backup is the best for restoring data (only) but don't ever use Nandroid backup to restore your data...you will get bootloop for doing that or you app will tend to FC...
fresh install apps will be the best solutions and use titanium to restore data...
Titanium backup batch backup and batch restore

Hello everyone, I just rooted my Note 3 and want to flash Dr.Ketan's latest room. But I want to make sure that I had a backup of everything like EFS, IMEI, Modem and everything else on my phone. There is a option in CWM recovery of backup. Does this backup backsup everthing? Or any other way of doing full backup?

Hey guys,
I'm going to flash a custom rom for the first time on my Galaxy s5. I installed TWRP, backed up my efs and modem, and will soon before flashing new rom will make a nandroid backup also.
What I want is to be able to backup my apps and data to later restore on the newly flashed rom.
Can you guys please point me to a trustable app to be able to do this and also remind me of anything I didn't do.
FYI, I am currently on stock touchwiz non rooted.

Titanium Backup
+1 for Titanium Backup......
Just be careful about restoring app data if the android OS version of the custom rom is different to the original firmware (this *has* been known to cause app instability)....
Backing up your efs folder before you start flashing roms is a good idea, but I'd advise making an 'off device' copy of that backup......just in case.

I just realized that you stated 'non-rooted'. Titanium needs root, but try helium.
Thanks a lot for replying, after a while I found out that I can back up app data and settings with Google account and all I needed was to backup apps. I used "App backup & Restore".
I used TWRP to backup efs and modem.

Can you tell me what happens if I backup the data partition of my stock rom using TWRP and restore it later on the new rom.

You should never really restore anything system related on a new/different phone, only user apps/data. You can really screw things up.

Data backups are mostly used to restore the same rom after something goes wrong. It might be ok, but be prepared to wipe and reflash if needed.

Think of a nandroid as a restore point on a PC.
Uh I see. Thanks for clearing it up. Now I know things about TWRP's backup.
But one more thing, if, assume I flashed a custom rom and something went wrong, and I lost my efs and modem partition, it is corrupted, should I resort complete nandroid backup or just the efs and modem partitions on that custom rom?
