Many users of the Android operating system sooner or later think about changing the firmware. This can be facilitated by its gradual clogging with various applications that slow down loading, attempts to perform one or another manipulation associated with obtaining superuser rights. All this can make the platform unstable. But before carrying out the firmware procedure, you need to make a backup copy of the current shell. The presented article will discuss in detail the question of how to make a backup of the Android firmware.

Copy applications
First of all, it is necessary to mention that for the operation of almost all programs that make a copy of the firmware, superuser or ROOT rights are required. One of the easiest to use applications for such an operation is the ROM Manager.
Further, the algorithm is as follows:
- First you need to download and install the above utility.
- Then launch it. You also need to have a permanent Internet connection.
- In the main window, select the 'Recovery Setup' item.
- A menu will pop up where you need to click on the top option, which is located under the blue inscription 'Install or update recovery'.
- Next, a scan will take place, which will show if there are special modules for a specific device.
- If they are not there, you still need to click on the item that appears, then click on the 'Yes' button and select one of the two options, the lower one is better.
- The installation will take place in less than a second.
- Now you can directly backup the Android firmware itself.
- To do this, select 'Save current ROM' from the menu.
- After you press the 'Ok' button, a process will begin, which may take a long time. To avoid excesses, it is better to connect the gadget to a charger.
- To restore the firmware in the same program menu, go to the 'Backups' item. If no copies were made, the system will report that they were not found in memory.

Saving games and files
To save games and files, it is better to use another program – Titanium Backup.
After launching it, go to the 'Backups' tab. To save files or programs, select them in the list and click 'Save' among the options offered.
After that, the exclamation mark in front of the program will change to a smiley. To restore, you need to click on the program again and select the 'Restore' item. To create a backup backup with all the data, you must click on the checkmark symbol in the upper right corner and the subsequent menu.
Then click 'Start' next to 'Back up all user software'. Recovery works the same way.
As you can see, backing up your data and then restoring it will not be a problem even for novice users.
