[Q] How to Nandroid my Samsung galaxy Core i8260

trelozakinthinos · Jan 23, 2014

Hello
I want to make an image Back-up of my Core and I cannot find something!
I tried the search but I couldn't.
I tried also the rom manager but it does not support my Core.

I want to make this image back up so I can go back if i install an other ROM.

How can I do this?

I hope you can help me!!

(I have already succesfully rooted my phone)

Thank you for your time and help!

Thank you for your reply... I have used already this app and I have some questions...

a) When it asks me for select device it says
"Your device code is arubaslimss. Please select the path that corresponds to your device!

If device is nit in list please click the Get Identified button"

So my phone is not on the list and I clicked the get identified button and it sends an email

Code:

I din't get any response yet...

b) Without identifying my phone I pressed the backup and it did a 2GB backup.
Although I don't know how to check if this works. I mean I can't my phone restore this backup. Any help?

Guess the phone's not supported yet then. But if u already made a backup, backup all your apps using helium (backup to sd) and try restoring using the backup u have. (wipe data first)

Use CWM to backup the phone. It's way easier. Preferably backup to external sd card

CWM does not work with my phone! Not in the list! That's why I was searching for nandroid!

1) Remove SD card

2) Boot into CWM Recovery by pressing Power + Volume Up + Home button.

3) Choose "Backup and Restore" and then choose "Backup".

Wait for few minutes and you will get your Nandroid backup in phone's internal memory.

NOTE : You should have enough memory(around 1.8GB - it was in my case) and yup i have got BLACK screen when i did it without removing SD card so i have said remove SD card in the very first step.

I have succesfully backed up my phone's ROM without removing the SD CARD, many times. I haven't got any error's afterall.
Personally, I don't recommend backing up to the internal memory, because it's the /data partition, wich oftenly gets wiped (or you wipe it yourself) when flashing a new ROM.
Just some thought.

You are right friend but i just told him how to take nandroid backup and that is just a matter of common sense that anyone will transfer the backup either to PC or external SD card.

Depends on how much tada you have in your /data and /system partitions, 'cause all of that is backed up. Mine was from 1 to about 1,5 GB.
