Root Can't backup stock ROM

[usadaytrader]

I rooted my phone a month ago or so using the video posted on this site. As I wait for an updated ROM that incorporates the "updates," I would like to backup my old ROM.

I believe the root method I used left my S-on. Anyways I have tried clockwork and could not find any way to backup my ROM (even after selecting recover from the menu). I then tried installing TWRP through GooManager and there was no difference.

Are my problems related to the S-on/off issue? All I want to do at this point is backup my existing ROM.

Your bootloader has to be unlocked to use a recovery.

I would suggest just getting full s-off

It really wasn't hard using the method from this forum to get s-off. I've been rocking S-off ever since the first hour the phone was placed in my hands.

you know what they say once you root you can never go back to stock

(yes you can take the phone back to stock from being rooted the above crack at humor has no affect on this- however I really have no desire to own an unrooted phone again)

In twrp you don't have a button that says 'backup' on it?

It's a pretty straight-forward process. You just hit backup, then select what you want backed up and hit the slider.

You are actually booting into recovery right?
