there is a lot of custom recoveries for android devices like cwm , philz touch and twrp, youcan use all of them to backup and restore your custom roms , i've tried all of themand i found out that twrp is the best choice for fast and safe way to backup and restoreyour custom rom, shark jungle is here and i'm gonna show you how to backup and restoreyour custom rom on twrp
Android roms, i will use galaxy s7 for the demonstrationand you can do the same steps on any android device that supports twrp. update twrp to the latest release,i'vedone a video tutorial will show you how to do that , link is in the video descriptionmake sure that you have enough space in your
internal storage or sd card if microsd cardis available , you can also use usb stick and otg cable if you want. i have a custom rom on my galaxy s7 and i'mgonna back it up then restore another rom to show you how it works. boot into twrp (use your device combination) go to backup and make sure to select system,data, and boot. for most cases, this is sufficient for backingup a rom. keep in mind that creating a backup of theuser data partition will not include the media folder in data partition (in your internalstorage)!
that means if you have photos or videos etcin the media folder and did a factory reset then you won't get the media files by restoringthe nandroid backup, but all the application data will be restoredfor more information you can use any root explorer and navigate to internal storage, data ,media and check the files are excluded from the nandroid backup. at this moment there is no way to backup yourmedia files using twrp there's usually no reason to back up cacheor recovery select the location for the backup, you canalso use on the go cable to connect usb stick and store your backups theresome devices have "special partitions" like
wimax, pds, efs, etc. these partitions almost never need to be includedin a normal backup. it's usually a good idea to make a singlebackup of these partitions and hang on to them just in case. name your backup as you want or leave it withauto generate a compression will be a good choice if youdon't have much space in your sd card or internal storage but it will take more time to do thebackup and the restore as well if you disable md5 generation then your backupwon't be checked and verified for errors so leave it as it is to be in the safe side.
you can encrypt your backup with a passwordif you want now swipe to start the backup, the backuptime will depend on your device speed , sd card speed and the amount of data are beingbacked up keep in mind charging your battery before doing backup or connectyour device to the charger now your backup file is ready to use any timeyou want if you want to restore any backup just goto restore and select the location of the backup, as you see i have a multiple backupsso i'm gonna choose another one for a different rom to restoreyou can delete any backup in twrp which is
very good featureyou don't need to verify your backup as loog as you did it in the backup process, so don'tcheck anything , just select the backup then swipe to restore. the restore time will take almost the sametime the backup took. as you see now the restore is finished andi'm gonna boot into system to show you that the restore is workingtwrp backups stored in a folder named twrp you can use the backup on the same androiddevice and you can also get all of your data like call log messages and apps+data on thesame device or any android device you have. -i've done a tutorial on how to restore yourapplications and data from a nanodroid backup
