I'm preparing to sell my TPT 1838-25U and would like to ensure that all user data is removed. Difficulty: I have made backups with CWM and want to make sure I know where they all are and delete them before selling so that another person could not restore to a previous point-in-time.
Can anyone assist and/or guide me?
Thanks.

Hello everybody
This is Siddharth from India. I am a mechanical engineer. I just purchased the Galaxy Note 2 a month back prior to this I always used an iPhone. I am new to the android platform and don't know how to flash, jailbreak or how to load different roms. I am very much tempted to install the moromoto00 theme on my phone but don't have a clue how to proceed. Frankly speaking it seems a lot more complicated than jailbreaking. Can anyone help me out??
Thanks in advance
Hello
I recommend you download and install the Note II Toolkit on your PC. You can find that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
It makes flashing and rooting very simple, and everything is explained very well.
So the first step for you now is to root your phone, install CWM and then make a Nandroid backup. The toolkit will let you do all these things very easily. :good:
Those things are necessary to do first, then after that you can start flashing ROMs and themes!
Also recommended to backup your EFS before you start flashing things. Essentially, an EFS backup backs up your IMEI code in case something goes wrong you won't be left with a device with a faulty IMEI (that would be very bad). The toolkit lets you do this as well!
I hope you will be patient with my somewhat nooby questions. I am just getting started with Android (at the age of 60) but have many years of PC experience.
I have a Galaxy Note III (SM-N900 hlte) and I am researching on backup/restore methods. I hope to be able to use the following pair of apps: 'Online Nandroid' and 'Nandroid Manager' to achieve what I desire. However, my confidence is still not that high on whether my thinking is correct.
I have done a Nandroid backup with Online Nanadroid, and I assume that I should be able to restore that backup using Nandroid Manager after, for example, flashing some other ROM to my phone.
Is my thinking correct? Or, can you point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.

Yes. But you can also nandroid backup using CWM before you flash the rom. Save the nandroid backup to your pc and flash your roms.
Hello everyone,
After seeing all these bricks, and generally knowing that there is dangerous when u flash ur phone to damage its crusial partitions with various problems then (such as missing IMEIs, damaged bootloader), i was wondering..
Which is the best possible way to back up our zenfone2, in order we have a "rescue boat" in case of a brick, missing IMEIs and staff like that?
Follow this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
Is the best solution if you lost the partition of you cellphone, I was one of the had a brick in the cellphone with this tutorial a could revive it.
very useful topic but it's not what i really asked. will this guide help me in case of lost IMEIs?
i am asking about the best possible backup in order to be 100% sure that in every possible case, i will have the needed files from my phone to make it functional again.
Hi everyone,
I tried to find a solid guide for fully backing up my system before doing anything to it to no avail. I'm currently on stock VNS-L21/VNS-L21C432B380/EMUI 5.0/Android 7.0 and plan to do the following:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Root
3) Install Elite kernal and Arsenik rom
4) Probably some other modifications later on
I've already got some app from the store for application backup purposes but would like to have a firmware/rom/whatever backup of my current setup in order to safely restore in case anything goes wrong. I've done considerable amount of flashing with my other Android phones previously but any help would be appreciated.
Furthermore, perhaps it's worth to create a guide for this and sticky it to the top? I saw a lot of "help, bricked device" posts in this forum. I bet the guys with know-how are sick and tired of helping. Anyway, if you point me in the right direction I might as well create the guide for others.
Have a good one,
Renārs
Without root I don't think that I can make a backup . I can make apk file but not backup of data :/
Hi,
After being an idiot and managing to lose my IMEI and baseband following a dodgy rom install could anyone please advise (idiots guide) to what I should do to avoid another £40 repair bill ?
Assume the following:
1) Root the phone
2) Backup EFS
3) Install new rom
I missed out point 2. Is there any other thing I should be doing to make sure I don't end up with an issue ?
Thanks.
there are sticky guides. just go with it.
where did you do?
