Guest chocoholic23 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 hi, ive been wanting to install a custom root on my zte skate, but i first would like to make a full backup of the phone incase it hangs in the middle. I'm from India, so i didnt see any stock roms available as all were Monte Carlo/orange which is not on mine. Kindly could you please advice on how to make a backup of everything before i install a custom rom on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) I'm uploading the stuff now, i'll tell you what to do when they are done Ok...I'm guessing you have a windows computer Download this and unzip it anywhere Rename the folder inside new clockwork mod to something easy to type Open a command prompt and change directory to the folder inside 'new clockwork mod' so for example cd downloads/new clockwork mod/backup when you're in there, connect your phone to your computer by usb, do not mount storage. Then on your phone go settings>application>development>tick usb debugging In your command prompt type adb reboot bootloader fastboot boot clockworkmod.img Now use the volume controls to navigate to backup/restore. Press home Press home again on backup and it will start backing up your phone. When it's finished, reboot system and it will be in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/the date Edited May 30, 2012 by razzmataz1478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hugobosslives Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 download a stock rom and flash in clockwork or if you made a nandroid backup. flash that through backup and restore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chocoholic23 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 sorry, but whats a nandroid backup? i took a backup using clockwork mod, which made a number of image files into a folder and stored it in sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 sorry, but whats a nandroid backup? i took a backup using clockwork mod, which made a number of image files into a folder and stored it in sd A nandroid backup is the backup you did with all the .img files of your stock rom. If you just want to go back to stock rom, just because you like that version, but in the future you might want to go back to a custom rom, then you turn your phone off, or reboot to recovery in the power menu, and then in backup and resotore menu just select restore. As far as I know this does not restore the recovery.img. So say if your phone is broken and you need to return it to the shop, you have to get rid of clockworkmod. You will need to transfer the img files to your computer and like the first time adb reboot bootloadeer then with the .img files in the same folder as fastboot and adb, fastboot flashall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pablo87 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) I just sold my Samsung Galaxy Ace and buy ZTE Skate. I also want to completly backup my stock ROM with stock recovery for warranty reasons. If I not missunderstood first I should make backup trought this proccedure that described razzmataz to back-up complete rom with stock recovery and than install cwm recovery ? Will report how it went. But I never done this trough adb commands. Hope it goes well. On Samsung this proccedure is much simpler: just download stock rom and odin, put phone in download mode and flash the rom trough odin in pda section...

It seems that I missunderstood. :D First I must install CWM than make backup of stock rom which I did.

And this quoted text a way to do that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 YYou clearly didn't follow the instructions, as my original post stated a way in which it will backup stock recovery. My way just simply boots clockwork mod, it doesn't install it. Check in sdcard/goo manager/backup and see if there is a recovery.img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check in sdcard/goo manager/backup and see if there is a recovery.img No I did not follow your instruction 'coz i think that this procedure will install cwm not only boot it. And their no such dir on my sd - for known reason. If I ever needed stock recovery hope someone will upload it. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 No no this only boots clockowork mod. To flash recovery you have to do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img And sorry, the dir was wrong it's/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup This is created after you backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pablo87 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 And sorry, the dir was wrong it's/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup This is created after you backup I already instaled cwm and I not new to android so know all the basic thinks.
