Probably a rom related issue as that's never been a problem for me. Have you asked in the rom thread?

TitaniumBackup, ROM Toolbox, Helium, OBackup, and a million others will do that job for you.

Well, seems obackup is just a nandroid... I can do those in CWM. They are fine to restore my current rom. Helium doesn't seem to cover it either. TB is what I use for apps, bit if I backup system, then restore to a different rom, it causes all kinds of issues... I want to be able to backup the email and network settings so I don't have to manually re-enter them when I flash a new rom. I have quite a few accounts so it is really a pain to have to do it manually.

    Wow.. great idea for a thread and THANK YOU!!

    Perfect timing too cause i need a little help please.

    I am not new to android but new to samsung (WOW, didnt realize it would be so different from HTC ont he rooting and flashing side of things).

    Long story short. I have a tmo s3. Bought it today and wanted to root. phone was working perfectly as it shoudl on stock rom unrooted. I downloaded the tool kit v7, used that to root adn install TWRP and rebooted into the stock rom that is now rooted. Still everything working perfect.
    Here is what i did next and where the issues start.

    Downloaded Synergy r290, went to recovery.
    Wiped Cache, Dalvik, Data, and System (made a backup first)
    flashed the rom and rebooted to system

    However, nothing ever happened. I see the samsung logo, then all goes black and nothing happens (left it there for 10min)

    I cant seem to get back into recovery holding vol up, home and power either and have no adb access to use that. I AM able to get into download mode which i know i can fix my problem here with odin, but i am just not sure what to flash and where.

    Is there an easier way??

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    If you absolutely can't get into recovery to restore your backup..

    Flash the UVDLJA root66 file in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 via odin. You will have the latest UVDLJA JB update, and will be rooted. From there, install goo manager from the play store to flash TWRP.

    After that you're all set to flash whatever you want (just make sure it's for the Tmobile s3).

    Ok, easy enough, but do i put that in the PDA field in Odin or phone?

    Just upload the file to PDA and hit start. Make sure to let it finish completely, once the phone reboots, it's done.

    ok i found the new version for twrp

    but cant seem to find adb shell does anyone have a link for this?

    Extract the twrp8.img from the zip file to your sdcard. Open terminal on your phone and type "su" then hit enter. Type "dd if=/sdcard/twrp8.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18" andd hit enter. Let it do it's thing and type "reboot recovery" and you should restart into the new recovery.

    Its easier that ADB specially if you don't know what ADB is.

    Edit: replace twrp8.IMG with the name of the one you downloaded
