I want to take a backup of Msg,Call log,Contacts,Settings (if possible)

ps. cantacts you can copy to sim card

thanks Buddy
FYI
My Backup pro
It can backup everything

From anroid we cannot send business card but today i just came to know that we cannot receive too
it is really annoying

Best way to backup contacts is to sync your address book with Google. You can then access that contact book from any other phone in the future, and you can also edit your contacts then on the PC.

Download Titanium Backup Lite or Pro on your PC and transfer it to your phone and install it.

Normally I'd say to make a backup of 'Wifi Access Points' but as your wifi access points are screwed up, ill upload mine in a while.
When you've downloaded mine just move them to the appropriate Titanium Backup folder on your SD Card.

Download; https://www.box.net/shared/7gbx79bu0505cd0kmq1u

Link Is up!
Just extract it and copy both files to the TitaniumBackup folder on your SD card!
Open Titanium Backup and scroll to the bottom of your app list and tap 'WiFi Access Points'. Then hit restore!
Once that's done. Just reboot and your WiFi should work againagain!
If it happens again, which it probably will just restore it again and reboot!
Hope it works,

[Q] Broken Screen: Nandroid without ADB / No access to CWM backups

Hello everyone, I'm desperately seeking for your help and hope you can give me some advice. So far, I could not relate to any of the similar topics and I'm not sure how to continue.
Problem:
The display of my Nexus 4 is broken and I want to make a nandroid backup before sending it in for repair. The screen still works but the touch function won't. Thus, I am unable to fully start the device since I cannot unlock the phone. My Nexus was rooted with the Nexus 4 Toolkit and runs on CM10. CWM is installed. Operation system of my computer: Win 7 64bit
Privious attemps:
As far as I experienced it, I'm not able to use ADB as I cannot completely start my phone due to the security pattern that I can't bypass since I have no touch function. At least the Toolkit tells me so, that ADB is not possible. Furthermore, it does not allow a backup via fastboot. Hence, I entered recovery mode and did a full backup with CWM, which is supposed to be saved in the folder CWM/backup. However, when accessing my phone via usb, there is not such a subfolder in CWM and I cannot get the backup file on my computer. The file is definitely there, since I can choose it within the restore options of CWM.
Any hints for me? Ist there a possibility for a nandroid backup without ADB? or Can I somehow access the folders of CWM where the backup is saved and transfer it via usb? or Else?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Try looking for a folder called clockworkmod and search there it should be in a sub folder labeled backups. Also you can try screencast, I've only heard of it never used it but is supposed view your phone on pc Like a virtual decice

adb should work in recovery.
use the command
adb pull /sdcard/

Backups are saved in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup

Is It Possible to Backup Files When Phone Doesn't Boot?

Hello,
I literally installed the Facebook app from Google Play on my Nexus 4 hours ago and then my phone literally went blank. Eventually my phone was turned off as there was no more battery. I charged it and powered it but it no longer boots (it has been stuck at the X screen for hours). Is it possible to backup my files despite this so I can try to reinstall a custom ROM/unroot my Nexus 4?
I spent some time searching the forums and couldn't find the answer, so any response would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks.

One of the suggestions here might help you as well:

Do let know if it doesn't!

Maybe, it depends if you can boot into recovery and have a custom recovery

I can. I am running on TWRP v2.3.2.3 but I don't think I can access the files through ADB as I did not set it to Development Mode (ever). It seems I can actually back it up through TWRP, but my concern is I don't know how to extract it out of my phone because once I reinstall JB everything will be wiped right?
Once I reinstall a JB version that means everything will be erased. Does anyone how to keep that backup from TWRP if you can't take it out from your phone? It appears my version doesn't seem to have Nandroid.
Also, does anyone know if it's "System" that stores all the contacts/text messages?
I want to backup my Data folder too but I only have 900mb free space left on my phone (I have the 8gb version) and my Data file is about 1.5gb. I don't remember if I have anything valuable in my Data file that I need to recover, so just to be sure, does anyone know if I can explore my "Data" folder to remove content to make it smaller so I can back it up? Thanks.

ADB via recovery should be the way to go then.
Did you try something as an ADB file manager?
See: https://github.com/sole/aafm for example.
This should allow you to copy the files to your PC without having to backing them up first on the device itself.
An alternative way would be to connect to the (ADB) shell, delete some useless files.. like music and stuff you already have (or package music as one archive - download - delete) etc. Till you have enough to package the data directory in one go. If done right the archive should preserve file permissions which is an extra plus I guess.
The way I try to make sure I don't have a problem like this is:
- Letting TitaniumBackup backup all important applications + data every night @ 4 AM when it's charging (while I am sleeping).
- Use FolderSync to sync the new backups to a server I have running. Could also be cloud of course. (Only on Wifi and while charging)
Good luck!

If you can boot into recovery it might be possible to pull data there.
Also, if you know which ROM was installed, you can try just flashing the system partition of respective ROM. It might not fix your issue but might allow you to boot and backup your data prior to completely resetting everything.
I've had something similar once. Tried all kind of solutions via recovery/fastboot/adb and only flashing a clean system image allowed me to recover important data. The phone was unusable still (constant FC's) but it allowed me to establish an adb connection and pull all data I didn't want to lose.

To be honest, I actually didn't. I decided to perform a reset and lose my data (and reinstall my ROM) as I didn't have the patience to experiment and figure it out. I just don't have time for that.

[Q] Question about Private Mode storage

Hi guys.
If I wipe my system partition (and not my data), would it wipe my Private Mode files?
There's something wrong with my phone and I can't access private mode, so I'm thinking of doing a wipe, but I'd like to know if it's possible to salvage files in private mode without having to into private mode itself. I've got backups on my PC, but they're a little outdated so some of the files are missing on the backup.
Thanks.

by private mode do you mean a knox container ? you can back up a knox container by going to emm and saying remove container and select the backup container option. that would allow you to backup the container without going into it. then you can flash your phone to a factory image.
