Backup and Other Important Tips
Done with the USB
drivers? Perfect. The tutorial is on the next page, but first, please
take a look at the following tips and important points you need to take
care of. These are important, as we don’t want anyone losing their
personal data or apps:
Always backup your important data that you might need after you install a new custom ROM, an official software update or anything else. Make a backup for just in case, you never know when anything might go wrong. See below for some tips on how to backup data:
Samsung users can also
back up data using Samsung KIES. If you backup data manually, you get
more options what to choose from and it is very easy to move data across
Android devices from different manufacturers, i.e moving Samsung
Galaxy Note backup data to HTC One X.
If you already have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod, TWRP etc.)
installed on your phone, we strongly recommend a backup using that as
it creates a complete image of your existing phone set up.
A few more optional tips that you should remember:
1. Having problems connecting your Android phone to the computer? You need to enable USB debugging mode.
2. Make sure your Android device is charged up to 80-85%
battery level. Why? Because, if your phone goes off suddenly while
installing a custom ROM, flashing an official firmware update or
installing mods etc. — your phone might get bricked or go dead
permanently. No one wants that, right?
3. Most of the tutorials and how-to guides on MyTrickSource are
for factory unlocked Android phones and tablets. We recommend NOT to
try our guides if your phone is locked to a carrier, unless we have
specified the carrier name or device model.
