Root ROM Manager Premium

I just ran across this Upgrade apk for ROM Manager. So far I think its Great.

I like the option to download backups in zip format to PC. This makes it soo easy to keep storage space on Nexus 5.

You can also update ROMS and recoveries with this app.

I don't know what else it can do, but there is a load of options to fiddle with.
 
These types of apps *generally* work well on nexus devices, but I'll always advise people against using apps that attempt to automate recovery options.

The problem is they don't always work, and that can leave inexperienced people with a phone in a bootloop and no knowledge on how to recover.

As long as you know how to do things manually from recovery or fastboot you should be alright... I guess what I'm trying to say is use it as a tool to make your life easier, but don't rely on it as the only method. :)

Can you tell me how to copy nandroid backups via adb so that I can save on my PC?
Click to expand...

The command you'll use is "adb pull X Y"

X is the location of the file on your phone, starting from the root folder (aka the top most folder, not a subdirectory)

Y is the filename

That'll copy it to your adb folder

I am not finding files. I am plugged into PC. I see Nexus 5/Internal Storage.
Now where are the backup files?

If you are using TWRP

Open internal storage, and navigate to TWRP/Backups/Folder with a lot of numbers and letters in it's name/ There are your Nandroid backups. Helps if you gave them descriptive names.

CWM, I have no idea, but should be similar.
 
:dontknow:

Not as savy as I thought I was.

Im going to switch to TWRP....

I could not do anything that I wanted with the CWM.
I am finding that TWRP is working better for me.
