Hi ... I'm a total noob/newbie with cell phones . I'm a older person that just want to back up the phone if ever something bad happens to it . I don't want to root . I just want to keep the factory setting and I'm happy with that alone . Now, I have view a few apps which do back ups but it say before installing the app my phone has to be rooted . Again, I don't want to go there . So my question is , is there an app which will Back Up my whole phone incase of a disaster ? Thanks
Hi, if you want to backup your ROM, you need to root, there is no other way to backup without it.. But if you want to keep it stock, you doesn't need any backup, there is no problem..
PS: the apps that you saw was just to backup other apps, to backup your ROM, you need to make a nandroid backup from CWM or TWRP.

Try clickfree mobile backup in the play store. It's I think exactly what you are looking for.

Go take a look in the Nexus 7 section. The first thing I did was unlock and root it. Keep in mind that unlocking it will wipe your data, so I would do that first.

All of the things. Assuming you already have root you should dl the standard stuff - Titanium Backup/Pro, ES File Explorer, XDA Pro , Voodoo OTA, Rom Toolbox, SuperSU (that's just what I prefer instead of just superuser), Terminal Emulator, and the like. Other than that it's all you. Whatever puts wind in your sails.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I just got a 32GB Nexus 7 also trying to decide what ROM to install lol. I love Scott's roms on my Infinity so I will try his first on this.
Running a stock rooted 16gb and using ROM toolbox Pro for Backup, ad blocker, launches nandroid backups, and more. SuperSu Pro for root. SwiftKey Tablet is amazing. Tablet talk is also really handy.
Nova Launcher and HD Widgets look very slick.
Don't forget about stick mount, I picked up a Samsung otg on Amazon. Speaker Boost also helps my earphones while watching movies on the plane.

I know it's kind of a cardinal sin on XDA but I am still running rooted stock 4.1.2 on my N7 also. I've tried a few custom ROMs but I always end up going back to stock bc it seems like it runs smoother.

As stated above, restoring my apps and data with titanium backup doesn't work on bard's tale. It makes me start the game over. Is this normal? Any fixes? Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You can copy the save game file in the future. If you have access to your old bards tale game with the good save info you can access it with a file explorer and transfer it to a jump drive or dropbox...or even email it to yourself. Its a very small file.

Thank you, I still have the backup info from titanium backup, would I be able to find it in one of those files somehow? I see the three files titled bards tale, but obviously they are files that titanium backup uses and not like what I see in the normal file system.
I also have an old backup that I made using wugs toolkit, is there anyway to pull it from there without having to restore the whole backup to my nexus 7? Thanks

I'm not that saavy yet...still learning. I did something similar and restored my old nandroid, pulled the save file, then restored my new nandroid and replaced the file. Sorry

TB backs up app data only up to 100mb by default. If app data is over 100mb it doesn't backup at all. You can change this in the settings to whatever size you want.
Thanks I think found it, you have to set " backup app external data" to Enabled Always. Thanks for the heads up. Please let me know if you are referring to a different setting, although I'm pretty sure that's it....

If you really want it, install Kies on your pc, connect your phone and pc via USB and let it patch it. Like was said above, it will unroot your phone... however, if you're not rooted, no worries.

Hey there guys, I'm relatively new to all this rooting and such. I have a rooted ATT s4. I have titanium backup (I just don't know too much about Roms, flashing, and custom recoveries). Anyway, as I saw the update, I went and started the update. Meanwhile updating, I came across a page saying it broke root...it kept updating though so I frantically thought of things I could do to stop it and simply used titanium backup to freeze the att updater app. If I unfreeze it, it will resume downloading from where it left off. I have downloaded folder mount, set CPU, and I don't think I've flashed anything...I don't even know what it means...but yeah, I really envy the better quality of the photo taking and HDR recording as well as the better memory usage and lag removed with the update...is there a way to keep root and have the updated firmware...keep in mind I'm still a noon so please use non geeky terms...thanks and any help is appreciated...(is there a way to cancel the ATT update progress so I don't have to keep the app frozen through titanium backup?) Thanks again

here is geek terms for you, you should have read in the many threads about this, you are now stuck on the update, no going back, there is a root method in the works right now, maybe released already, keep searching the general thread, there is something on the root. Sorry, but giving it to you straight, don't take it wrong. Always READ before you even look at doing something to your phone, I CAN NOT STRESS how important that is.
Good luck.
Thanks you.
Well, i figure you mean no harm, but your style of writing killed a part of me... My phone is still rooted though, as I said. Furthermore, it ISNT updated. I froze the updater before it fully processed. Thanks

In fact, this rom has features that I don't like. It says it removes carrier name and things like that. Some people experienced no wifi and no data. Is there not such a thing as just the new update with root. Minus all the custom features.

If you follow instructions, and check the OP add ons none of what you say will happen. Very fast,stable ROM. Learn what to do by reading..hell watch some YouTube videos...its not that difficult..if you don't like the ROM you can just nandroid back.

2) I will load it for you (rom of your choice)
3) you pay for the shipping back
4) guess what, working.

There is an app on the market called app2zip which might do what you're looking for. I've used it before to make a zip of Titanium Backup and it worked well. But it hasn't been updated since last year.

Titanium Backup can create an update zip of itself or of all the apps+data that you have backup up.

Backup your apps & data as usual
Next look under Batch Items - Recovery mode - Create "update.zip" from app+data backups.
Click on Run
You can then give the update.zip a name (or leave it as is) and select which apps to include.
Finally click on the green tick in the top right.

To create an update.zip of just titanium backup, on the front screen of TB press your menu button to bring up the Main Menu.
Scroll to the bottom and find "Special Features". Under that heading click on "Create "update.zip" ..."
Good luck.
