I've looked all over but can't find a rescue.zip for pimp my rom. I didn't mess my device up, I just want a backup in case. There IS one in my SD card but it won't flash.
So, does anyone have a working rescue.zip?
(YES, I know I'm an idiot for not backing it up)
Why don't you just make a backup in TWRP or CWM?

Because I need to have it as it was, which I don't
So I need someone with an unpimped nexus 7 to download it, back up a rescue package and upload it here so I can download it.
Make a backup of your current ROM.
Install the factory ROM and root it.
Make a backup of that.
Restore your current ROM from the backup in the first step.
Get a copy of both of 'em off the tablet someplace safe.
Easy-peasy.

The rescue pack is not avaliable at the moment. It will be very simple to fix problems by that way, but the pimpmyrom apk has a button to revert changes but doesnt work if you fail in a bootloop.

Pimp my rom beta rescue package
Hey now,
Go to this link & download the rescue package I tweaked. Make sure you create a Rescue zip using the Pimp My Rom Beta.apk (Thanks to Androguide. You Rock Dude) and name that one Resuce(1).zip. Extract my Rescue.zip and make sure you switch the build.props out (You can add whatever build.prop mod you want to it) by Opening the Rescue(1).zip and dragging the file to the extracted Rescue.zip. Make sure you open the rm.sh and change the scripts that correspond to your init.d folder using notepad. Last thing go into sys/cpu/scaling_freq and change those numbers to your numbers or you can deleted that folder all together just make sure you delete (extract sys/cpu.....) out of the updater script. Rezip it and it's ready to flash. Hope that didn't confuse you. Yeah you right!

OK, finally decided to pass on to a custom ROM, and the choice fell on sunaabh 1.1
Now the question is, I downloaded the ROM and I see it's a standard zip file. Is it possible to further customize it by removing/substituting/adding/updating files in the correct folders, and then flash it normally?
As an example, update the hosts file, removing the useless HTC apps, preinstalling titanium or any other app I like?
If it is possible, should I unzip the ROM, do my things, and zip it back, or does it require anything special?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it should be as simple as that. Most likely you do not need to re-sign the rom.zip since you're already using a custom recovery (assuming you have rooted your phone), but I signed mine anyway, so I didn't get to confirm it myself. Good luck and have fun!

You can do exactly that. Open it up, mess around, making sure everything stays in the correct folder, zip it back up, and you're done. No need to sign if you're on Clockworkmod recovery.
i have a great idea for an app to scan your titanium backup folder, and create an update.zip to restore all apps and data after a rom flash.
i have all the details worked out!
i know how to convert the tibu backups to useable restoreable data!
though its not hard.
this could easily be done through a script on pc or possibly through an app.
but i am just not a programmer, in either regard.
need experience with:
creating cwm 2 and 3 flashable zips (edify and scriptify)
possibly other scripting for editing install directory
unpacking tar zip and gz files
creating UI would be nice as well for whichever platform it ends up on pc or app
PM me for more details.
this would be a great tool!
As far as I know, each Titanium backup has 3 files - one bzip2 for the APK, one for the data, and a "properties" file, which containt the market link, app install location, backup date etc...
I think it is possible to write an extention to ClockworkMod/Amon-Ra for restoring Titanium backups. Don't count on me to do it, I don't have any experience with the Linux kernel/Android custom recoveries.
As for a desktop/dalvik application, it should be very simple to pack the backup into a flashable .zip, I'll try to do such an app soon.
Nvm ignore me...
From something awesome
May this help? I'd really like such an app!

The paid version of the app will do this for you. Also let's you decide whether the. Zip is signed or not. Hope this helps.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i have the paid version and that zip file that it creates only reinstalls titanium backup not all your apps.
so no it doesnt help. i already have the paid version, and understand the features in full.
Thats what my nvm ignore me was about... i thought that update.zip did the apps as well.
Anyway this would be awesome for people who flash a lot of roms

Kick me while I'm down, I thought the Pro Version did that as well. The file it makes certainly looks big enough. I haven't taken a look at it. But my question is how is the update.zip, which I can't get to install, different from just reinstalling the .apks, which is how I get it working in the first place?

Good idea but I think you will run into problems if you restore from recovery... I don't think app ID's (and therefore permissions) will be correct and I don't think the apps will re-link to the market (if the id's aren't correct).
Running the fix permissions script after the restore might solve this.
But, other than selective restore, what benefit would this method have over say simply restoring the /data partition part of your nandroid backup?
Nevertheless, if you need help with updater-scripts send me a PM. If my concerns are unfounded then this is a worthwhile idea.

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.

After entering the security code & clicking on Dowload File, it will automatically refresh the page & bring me back to the beginning again.

CWR/CWM Recovery -- It is called ventana_recovery and can be found in US or ROW types in 16, 32 and 64 iterations at everyrandom.

It's labelled ventana32_recovery.img.
I don't know what happened but yesterday, I couldn't even browse the Files folder to view other files.
Thanks for reposting the Nandroid backups!
Yes, you've located the right one if you've got a US tablet.
The gps.conf is modified from the original file that shipped on tablet. This causes updates to fail.
CWM will cause OTA2 to fail during update. My apologies about GPS.conf, I missed that. It is a simple thing to fix.
Also, there are OTA builds that don't require the original files and recovery here in XDA.
I downloaded the 0075_US file. I am looking to replace a couple of system/app files (mainly PinyinIME.apk) as I deleted them before without a backup.
I want to take my TPT back to stock or run some sort of update without too much trouble as I plan on selling my TPT (need the money).
Is there a way that I can extract the files that I need from the 0075_US files that was posted here?
Thanks

Download the archive and open it with winrar. You will find system.ext4.tar. Open it inside winrar and it will extract it. In the app directory you will find all system apps.
Copy PinyinIME.apk and the odex to your device /system/app and do :
chmod 644 /system/app/PinyinIME.*

Finally got down to restoring your Nandroid backup to my TPT.
However, I kept getting the MD5 checksum mismatch error.
Am downloading again to try and see if it makes any difference.
Do I need to preserve the folder name 0089_US_no-bloat_rooted?

Reloaded the 0089 package but ended up with the same MD5 mismatch error.

I've since upgraded the CWR to the version you recommended & so I'm wondering if this is a factor.

I don't know about the different CWM Recovery. I wish I did.
After you have extracted the zip, the folder can be renamed but it should be placed within the backup folder, like:

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.

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.
