[Tutorial] How to Backup and Restore Android Devices Using ClockWorkMod Recovery



As we already now, each time we decide to perform operations on our Android powered device the data saved on its storage memory or even on its SD card might be wiped out. Furthermore, if you want to do things more complicated like flashing a custom ROM, install unofficial updates, or beta firmware, you can wreck (brick) the phone’s system. But, there is a way in which you can avoid all these unfortunate aspects. You can make a full backup before starting the main process; and I’m not referring to any backup as you should save your current ROM first.

This is exactly what we will be checking during the present step by step guide: how to backup and restore your Android device before installing custom ROMs, or applying unofficial updates. And the perfect way to do it is by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery custom recovery image. With this you can backup the current ROM that is running on your phone, so in case if something goes wrong while trying to flash a new ROM into the system you will be able to revert and use the old software. This is the perfect method to use for avoiding bricking your smartphone.

As you know, the warranty is void each time you want to complete one of the up mentioned operations, so backing up the software is no longer an option for you. Anyway, you need to get ClockWorkMod Recovery first. If you don’t know CWM is a custom recovery designed to work on the Android platform and offer different capabilities to the users like: making backups, test custom ROMs, perform maintenance operations and so on.

Now let’s head to the proper guide. Make sure you read all the lines for understanding the concept and for completing a full and safe backup of your ROM. Also you will learn how to install and use CWM, so don’t skip sections of the tutorial.

Follow these steps:

  1. First, you should root your device as you cannot install ClockWorkMod Recovery on an un-rooted handset. Check our previous posts as you can find a how to root guide suitable for your device.
  2. Then you should know that not all the smartphones are being able to support the tool. So, before starting to do something, check here and see if your phone is on the list.
  3. Then, after checking the compatibility and rooting the handset you must go on Google Play and search for the ROM Manager app.
  4. Install the same.
  5. Then open the tool.
  6. Select the “flash ClockWorkMod Recovery” option.
  7. Then, just select “Backup Current ROM” and follow the prompts.
  8. The backup will be completed once you reboot the smartphone.
  9. Now, if you decide to install a custom ROM into the system and something wrong happens just restore the backed up firmware by opening the app again and choosing “Manage and Restore Backup” and then “Restore”.
  10. You will have the old OS as soon as you reboot the device.

So, there you have it; that’s how you can backup the current ROM before flashing a custom ROM, or update your Android device with an unofficial firmware, and this by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery tool. If you want to backup the rest of the files from your handset too, you can use other apps, or methods. In this way you can save your personal info whether it is about messages, contacts, calendar saves, Market apps and who knows what else.


[Tutorial] How to Install Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 UVUAMDL Firmware to T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4

Therefore, you don’t have to worry as there won’t be used complex and risky apps or programs.

How to install Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM (CM 10.1 Nightly) for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000

The CM10.1 ROM is based on the original Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which is designed to deliver superior performance and stability than stock Android. IBTimes UK brings you a step-by-step guide to install Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 via latest CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly ROM, courtesy of Droid Firmwares.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 inch N8000 tablet is now supported by CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies. You can use this tutorial to learn how to successfully update your rooted device using the custom Recovery mode and the CM 10.1 Nightlies zip file. Read this entire guide and you should be able to complete the installation in under 10 minutes.
CM 10.1 Nightlies is one of the most popular Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean custom ROMs out there, it is based on AOSP and in order to correctly install it on your device read the guidelines below:

Note: 
  • use this guide only for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 model number N8000.
  • don’t try to use the files you find here with any other Android device, as you will end up bricking it.
  • your tablet has to be rooted and running a custom Recovery image such as CWM Recovery or TWRP Recovery. I have used the CWM version for this guide, but the TWRP one should work just as well.
  • use the custom Recovery mode to create a full NANDROID backup of your currently installed ROM, so that you’ll have a restore point set for your tablet just in case something goes wrong and the new ROM doesn’t boot.
  • backup all the data that is currently stored on your tablet.
  • the tutorial will ask you to factory reset the device and this means that all installed apps and all the other data that’s stored on the system partition will be deleted in the process.
  • enable USB Debugging from the Developer Options menu.
  • make sure that there is enough power left in your tablet’s battery before starting the installation of CM 10.1 Nightly ROM.
  • this is a tutorial for advanced Android users and it is not recommended for you to use this guide in case you don’t know what you’re doing.
  • we cannot be held responsible in case you lose any important data in the process.
  • read the entire post and make sure that you don’t skip any steps that I have listed below.
  • NOTE: In case you’re already running a previous build of the CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM, then you can skip the ‘factory reset’ step and simply overwrite the previous build with the one I’ve listed in this post.
Now that you know all of the above, I think that you can continue to the next part of this article and learn how to properly install a custom ROM for your device.

Follow the steps below:
  1. Download the latest CM 10.1 Nightlies build from HERE.
  2. save the file on computer and don’t unzip its contents.
  3. Download Gapps for Android 4.2.2 / CM 10.1 custom ROMs from HERE.
  4. don’t unzip the file.
  5. Connect the tablet with your PC and move both files onto its internal SDcard. When the files are copied to your tablet, disconnect it from your computer.
  6. Power off the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 device completely.
  7. Boot it into CWM / TWRP Recovery mode.
  8. I’ve used the CWM Recovery for this guide, but you can use TWRP, too. The instructions are very similar.
  9. When in CWM Recovery Mode, select ‘backup and restore’ and create a full NANDROID backup of your current ROM. After that you can continue to the next step.
  10. Next, select ‘wipe data/ factory reset’ option and confirm the process.
  11. if your device is already running on a previous build of CM 1o.1, then you can skip this step. However, if the device doesn’t boot with the new ROM, then you will need to return to this step and apply it.
  12. Now, select ‘install zip from sdcard’ option from the main Recovery screen. Then you need to select ‘choose zip from sdcard’.
  13. Find the CM 10.1 Nightly zip and confirm that you want to install it.
  14. The ROM will install in a few minutes and after that you have to select once again ‘choose zip from sdcard’ option. Find the Gapps zip and install it too.
  15. After all files have been successfully flashed, return to the first Recovery menu and select ‘reboot system now’.
  16. Wait for the tablet to boot into normal CM 10.1 / Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean home screen and take control over all of its functions by entering your Google Account info.


These were all the steps that you had to take in order to successfully flash a CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly build for your Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 model number N8000. I hope that you’ve managed to successfully update the device and that it works flawlessly.

If the tablet takes too long to complete the first boot process with the new OS, then you should power it off completely. After that you will need to repeat the entire tutorial once again and, this time, make sure to apply the ‘factory reset’ step, as that might be the cause for the failed CM10.1 ROM installation attempt.

If you don’t like how this new custom OS works with your Galaxy Note 10.1 GSM model, then you should use the ROM backup file you created in step 6 and restore it to its previous state. I think that these were all the instructions that I had for you, for any other questions use the comments field below.
