I just had my S4 rooted w TowelRoot. This is my first rooted Android. I installed titanium pro and have backed up some apps then Uninstalled said bloatware. I have been trying to find out how to do a Nandroid or complete backup so that I can move forward with my learning in safety. If anyone can guide me with the steps to do next I would greatly appreciate it. The videos and info I've seen has not been on point. Thank you
You have to flash a custom recovery first before you can make a nandroid backup.
But notice that this will increase the Knox counter

Sent from my SGH-M919 I backed up and deleted Knox apps as far as I know.
Your first android with root
this is
nothing more to you because it is S4
everything leads to tripped Knox and void the warranty
the choice is yours

Any suggestions on which custom recovery I should look into for back up
I'm not concerned about the warranty. I thought you're supposed to backup the system before you flash anything. I wasn't in a hurry to flash a new rom or os because I'm a novice on rooting and I wanted to see what apps and freedoms I have in its present condition. But before I attempt to Delete something like ANT I wanted to do a system backup because the warning said ant is tied in to.....
Just chose "backup all user apps + system data. This its a complete backup from all apps and their data. So you can delete system apps you won't use and don't have to worry about the function of your devise, because you still have a backup.
A system backup or nandroid backup is something different and you can only do one if you flashe a custom recovery.
But then Knox counter will increase

Did you take a backup before deleting?
If not, the only way to get it back is a restore to stock... or a piece-wise restore of each app if you can find someone to send you the apk files.

So.... If you install a custom recovery this thread has a Samsung crap add-on that you can flash just like any other zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42294395
It will most likely have all of the Samsung stuff in it so you will probably have a little debloating to do, but at least you will have the pack if you delete too much again.
Also if you make nandroids you could just go into recovery and restore system, but that's probably not an option as you haven't installed custom recovery.
Good luck.

always make a backup first.
this is why most users generally just freeze an app, not delete it. as joeybear23 said, you may have to flash stock
I've flash the stovk rom with kies and now its perfect. Thank all for your help.

Ok so my SGH-I337 S4 is rooted using Motochopper and is still stock ROM, just rooted. I did it so I could make Google Wallet work on AT&T, which was successful. Now AT&T has an OTA update that I want. So I will have to unroot. I already have the stock ROM download that I can flash via Odin to unroot. But what will happen to the apps I have installed that require root, like Titanium Backup, ROM manager, etc. Will they automatically be removed or just stop working? Also, has anyone had any experience with the Universal Unroot app? That would sure be easier. But my main question remains: what does Unrooting do to apps that are installed that require root privileges?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
When you user Odin you'll have to do a factory reset or you'll get into a boot loop. So by by apps. Your tibu backup file will still be there, but just in case copy it to your pc before hand. The apps that require root will not work until you re-root.
Hi highly recommend you don't get the ota. Even though it's root able it's very dangerous to do so.
What I will say, if you want the update is to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43963746 and you will have the benefit of the OTA and not lose the root and custom recovery, and all the app will work! You will not upgrade the bootloader. Once you updated the bootloader is not coming back!

I don't understand why you get a boot loop. I once soft bricked a phone and used Odin to flash a md5.tar of a stock ROM. The phone rebooted and I saw my wallpaper and all my apps and data intact. I have seen threads on Unrooting that describe using Odin that way. They all said that doing a factory reset afterword is if you want to delete all your apps and data like if you sell your phone or just want it as it was out of the box

thats interesting. were you on stock when you soft bricked it?
many, many...many users commonly have to wipe data/factory reset after flashing stock via odin. sometimes they can get away with just a cache wipe. not often, though.
I had used (can't remember his name) Galaxy S3 Toolkit to root the phone. Interestingly, Root Checker said I was rooted, but Titanium Backup wouldn't install... It said I needed root access... Hmmm.... Later when I went to unroot using the same S3 Toolkit, I did something wrong. The phone would boot but stick at tiny little letters in the upper left of the screen that I *think* said recover. I messaged the developer of the Toolkit and he sent me a link to download the original AT&T stock ROM. He told me how to use Odin and check the PDA box. I did it and it fixed my phone.

thats why i asked if you were still on stock when you used odin. most users are not, which is ultimately what requires them to factory reset in recovery.
I wonder if universal unroot is trustworthy
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
All that would happen to your rooted apps is they wouldn't have root privileges anymore, which means they ultimately won't work as expected. I would recommend uninstalling them before you update. You may also be able to do a full unroot via SuperSU or one of the other superuser apps.
NOTE: Your phone may not update even after unrooting. You may have to do a factory reset first. I don't know why, I'm not a developer. I'm just speaking out of my own experience from the past.
(I hope this is the right forum for this question )
I just rooted my Note 3 and I can't find a CWM Recovery for the AT&T version. I've seen ones for N900, but I doubt that it's for the AT&T variant.
And Is there a way to flash custom roms without a recovery like CWM?
No to all of the above. There is an AT&T specific forum for all AT&T related Dev but you'll notice no recoveries and no ROMs yet, only root methods for now.
Your phone has a locked bootloader. That's why..you don't have custom recovery..

Bingo. It's a bit different but as long as I can backup I don't care and TiBackup isn't the same and frankly I don't like it at all. There's always issues with titanium so I quit using it long ago.

I feel like they both have their place. TWRP/CWM image files only restore the whole system. That means you cant even restore the backup to a different model phone. (I use this between warranty replacements of the same make/model)
TWRP also lets me make a backup of the system "as it is"... so if an update is forced to me, I can always just restore a backup to get back to the last one. IT also covers me if I change a setting that screws things up. Especially with SafeStrap .... I can always keep myself running on a virtual partition and just back it up / restore that one to stock as necessary to bail myself out.
TiBu allows me to back up any single file or app, and restore it (AND ALL IT'S DATA) on any android phone what so ever. No reboots, no touching any other files. Sometimes that app isnt ready to work on that new model ... or sometimes system apps cant be restored ...... but otherwise, it is invaluable to get my setup onto the next/upgraded phone with as little setup as is necessary. IT also lets me save older versions of my apps and restore them as necessary. Plus incremental backups means even if my phone and sd card eat **** (lost the phone and not able to recover it), I will have my apps backed up on dropbox. All I need is a new physical Note3+sd card, 2 hours to restore everything, and I'm back in business
I am a paid user of both TWRP and TiBu for this reason
The downside of these apps? They both require you to root. That means you technically void the warranty on your phone. However, there are plenty of methods available to remove all traces .. so in the end, if you care enough to spend the time, you can transform this phone between stock/unrooted/normal/warranty in effect and modified/rooted/customized/warranty void. At will
guys i have important pictures on knox mode.
i want to restore them
i rooted my note 3 and the knox counter is 1
my rom info 4.3 MK2
Important stuff should always be backed up. Now would be the time you can be happy about all the effort you put into defining and executing your backup strategy.

cant i pay to samsung to give me them back ?
Dirty flash your stock ROM - *appparently you can access KNOX even if your counter is 0x1 another user done so a month ago or so* - If that doesn't work. Then no-go, you'll have to forfeit your pics and learn a lesson in Note 3 issues. Don't root without knowing the consequences.

The whole idea of Knox is to keep your files safe. When the files could still be accessed after tampering with the phone, Knox would be useless. If Samsung could access the files, that would mean that there is still a backdoor in the system, which would be unsafe, which would also render Knox useless.
I take a lot of pics of my kids with my phone. I installed an app that syncs all my important folders to a PC when I plug in a charger at night, so my important stuff gets backed up automatically. You could use Titanium Media Sync (paid app) or Sweet Home (free) to automatically backup your photo's.
this is my second note 3. first one rooted it tripped knox warrenty, installed philz cwm anf flashed kitkat 4.4.2. everything was great for a few weeks till I done 2 nandroid backups. I tried to move them to pc which was not a problem, but when I came to delete them from internal memory they would not delete I believe due to the write protection enable. so long story short got phone replaced under warrenty even with knox tripped (lomg story). I just flashed kitkt 4.4 and rooted my device and flashed philz cwm, I came to copy my last nandroid backup to internal memory to do a restore and it wont let me. it says this device is no longer connected. but I can go into any other directory and copy it. can somebody plz help????????????

If I were you I would do a nandroid backup onto an external SD, that way in case I can't boot and push files into the phone's internal storage, I will always be able to restore from extSD.
You shod use with the best recovery TWRP
really best

Your asking for trouble!
Your backup is for a different phone,the hardware will have different id's etc.
In short,don't even bother.
So cause i got a new phone even thou its still a note 3 n9005. It has a diffrent id? When i lot titainium backup it says would you like to restore previous phone id. Would that fix it?

Never restore Device A's Nandroid on Device B. It will brick.
You can use a Play Store app to extract parts of a Nandroid to your device without bricking.
Thanks nicholaschum for the good advice. What play store app can I use?
