Root Newb needs help with CMW RC, Please!!

[Memo35]

I downloaded and i believe installed ClockWorkRecover yesterday afternoon. But now I dont know how to backup my phone. Can someone help me?

I am very new to Androids and everything that falls under rooting. i have no idea what the acronyms and shortening of words, files, etc mean. Can someone help me with some basic language and information?

Thanks.

I have no idea how to do the following.

How To Make A Backup After Rebooting Into Recovery-

Once you flashed the CWR All in One Root and Recovery you want to make a back up BEFORE you do anything else. To make a back up in recovery:

1- Once you have used Quick Reboot to boot into recovery and are in CWR, using your volume keys to scroll and your power button to select, scroll down to "Back up and Restore" and select it.

2- Select "back up" with your power button

3- CWR will proceed to make a back up of your current ROM. It takes a couple minutes, but once its done select "Reboot System Now" and your phone will reboot

To restore,a back up follow the same steps but instead of selecting "back up" after selecting "Back Up and Restore" select "restore" then select a back up to restore.

Not yet. I only have root and cwr so far. I'm doing everything slowly because this is all new to me.

As long as you are all set. If you have any more problems then let us know.

Thanks a lot.

Can I remove the OneClickRoot and CWR files from my computer, or do they need to stay in the computer? I ask because i downloaded the files to my work computer and would like to transfer them to my home computer using a USB drive.

Yes you can and rom manager is sort of an add on to cwm that gives you a simple user interface
