Root back up

[swampymc8]

hi all

sorry for being a noob. just a quick question. i have just rooted , all seems ok , what i need to no now is i am about to back up. i have downloaded titanium and it seems to have backed up everything. am about to do a nandroid. my question being is i have not downloaded a rom yet so my phone is pretty much stock. using adw. do i still need to do a nandroid ? or is it just for a rom .
thanks

stock is still a rom, so yes nandroid. You can restore it then if anything goes wrong.

I would do a nandroid. You might want to restore the stock rom.

i understand now , do i have to download a custom rom first ? or can i just back up then reboot phone to stock till i see what am looking for

sorry for the daft questions

There are no rules, you can stay on stock forever if you want.

 

[DNick]

Yes, you can back up, and keep on running stock.

oh right
will do a back up then. do i need it connected to pc ?

 

[shauny13]

no, boot into recovery. (Turn off, then power on whilst holding volume down.)

no, boot into recovery. (Turn off, then power on whilst holding volume down.)

Then use the volume buttons to go to to recovery and select with the power button.Once you get into the recovery, you select with the trackpad. Then you should be able to figure where/how to back it up.

hi
done all that. just re checked in recovery now and there are numbers there so i am assuming it has done a back up ? will look at roms now

thanks again guys

it will be in sdcard/clockworkmod, If you want to check with a file manager.
