How to Backup and Restore your Android device Using ClockWorkMod Recovery
First, you should root your device as you cannot install ClockWorkMod Recovery on an un-rooted handset. Check our previous posts as you can find a how to root guide suitable for your device.
Then you should know that not all the smartphones are being able to support the tool. So, before starting to do something, check here and see if your phone is on the list.
Then, after checking the compatibility and rooting the handset you must go on Google Play and search for the ROM Manager app.
Install the same.
Then open the tool.
Select the “flash ClockWorkMod Recovery” option.
Then, just select “Backup Current ROM” and follow the prompts.
The backup will be completed once you reboot the smartphone.
Now, if you decide to install a custom ROM into the system and something wrong happens just restore the backed up firmware by opening the app again and choosing “Manage and Restore Backup” and then “Restore”.
You will have the old OS as soon as you reboot the device.
So, there you have it; that’s how you can backup the current ROM before flashing a custom ROM, or update your Android device with an unofficial firmware, and this by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery tool. If you want to backup the rest of the files from your handset too, you can use other apps, or methods. In this way you can save your personal info whether it is about messages, contacts, calendar saves, Market apps and who knows what else.
