Help Restoring my phone to it's previous state?

PHP87

Android Enthusiast
I was messing around trying to install a Theme and booted into Recovery Mode and got a bit lost.

Rebooted my phone and now it's in its stock, factory state and all of my downloaded apps are missing as well.

I have everything scheduled to be backed up on a regular basis, so what would be the best way to get everything back to how it looked and felt before I screwed up?

I can't find anything in Google+

Any suggestions on how to do this quick and somewhat painless?

Thanks.

BTW, phone is/was rooted.
 
If the backup is on the internal sd, it was wiped off from the factory reset. Everything on internal sd gets wiped with factory reset, ik...it's stupid.

Do you know of any utility that saves everything (Apps, settings, preferences, etc...) to an SD or a PC?

I hate having to re-download all my apps, reconfigure all my settings, re-entering different passwords, etc... after doing a restore.
 
The only app I've ever used on all my androids is the pro version of Titanium Backup. It's the most used and highest rated backup app.

Price $5.99

There's a free version, but pro is the way to go with this one...

If you decide to use it make sure to go to its settings and have it backup to external sd.

I can't give you a tutorial or tell you how to use it because this app has a zillion features and I'd be here forever lol.

Good luck buddy ;)

Yeah, I have Titanium BU Pro, but not sure how to use it to back up everything I need to, but will try to figure it out.
