  • Here's a universal guide on how to backup and restore ROM using TWRP recovery on rooted Android smartphones and tablets.
    See full step-by-step tutorial with photos here:
    highonandroid.com/android-howt...
    I recommend using an OTG cable and USB flash drive for your backups. Get OTG cable here: bit.ly/otgcableHOA

    Seriously, good work. Most of my willingness to root and rom is from you. The last one didn't work so well, the Marshmallow S6 on an S$ L720T, but I'd made a backup with TWRP and am recovering back to the custom rom from you site. Same symptoms as most, no bluetooth communication, no microphone and sms always said failure to send though it would send anyway. So thanks, you put a lot of effort into it. mod

    Folder problem when you want to see or copy the backup TWRP folder to External SD or PC...and the solution.
    After backup my phone, i wanted to copy the TWRP folder (with the backup) from internal memory to SD Card or PC, to save space and to be safe. The problem was that phone unrecognised the folder, it just show a file named TWRP with 0.00Kb in "My Files" inbuild app...neither to delete it. No results.Using USB cable, the PC wasn't even seen it near the other folders like Alarms, DCIM, Music, Movies ...
    I know that Teamwin recovery have buildin file manager but i was unable to copy neither ....
    I installed Root EXPLORER that saw correctly the folder and files, and i was able to copy on my SD Card and delete the folder from internal storage.
    Cheers!

    Don’t tick the Skip MD5 generation option, as this ensures the integrity of your backups and guards against errors when restoring them

    • @jonjamous9762
      @jonjamous9762 Před 8 lety

      Internal is not affected by what you do with system. If you have files stored like pictures, music, etc, those will still be there if you restore system. If it's factory restore then it's different. Almost like when you do a system restore on a computer to try and fix an issue to a date where everything had worked. You still keep your music etc on your hard drive.

    • @1eskip
      @1eskip Před 3 lety

      if you restore the backup without Wipe options, your data and ROM should be just the same. If I ran wipe data and restored backup I just had a fresh Custom ROM that I had backed up even happened to me once I forgot to wipe before restoring my stick ROM backup over Superman ROM and all my apps off Superman ROM was also in my recovered Stock ROM backup after recovery
