[TUT] 3 methods on how to make full dump or nandroid backup

This is the best things you should know first on how to make full dump or android backup. I have three possible methods which you can help you when the times need it. Actually you don't need to be developer nor a programmer. I also learned it from the web just want to make it easy to understand. I will teach you as the best possible and also I attached images to follow my instructions on step by step procedure. Then why do I need to backup?. Well this is one problem I've noticed yet few are have knowledge regarding this. Once your phone in bootloop and hardbrick due to some other reasons. Unfortunately, you need to go to your service center to fix your phone. Although I don't want you to miss this things because this problem can waste your time, effort and also money. Then to save your phone this is your first task you should know.





Method 1. Through Custom Recovery.
I know some of you had knowledge in custom recovery. I think you are familiar in CWM or (ClockWorkMod) but you doesn't know how to make it. Actually there are many custom recovery the best as far as I know are CWM,CTR,TWRP and Philz Touch this made by our developer in XDA. You can choose any of them or anything you want. Honestly, I can't teach you on how to port it just because it's more complicated. Hopefully, I can make a tutorial later on but I will teach only on how it works in your android phone. Perhaps you can request it to me to port this custom recovery just visit our thread here. This custom recovery you can backup and restore thru your phone only. I suggest you to backup your phone before to download any apps just to make it smaller in file size. Then once your phone in bootloop or softbrick you can restore it easily.
