Hi,
I wanted to know whats the best way to a get complete backup of my Rogers I896 phone stock, so that i can just flash that before sending it into warranty if I need to. Does Odin do a better job than clockwork recovery?
Also i heard that you can loose your IMEI if you dont backup properly, is this true(was in the Rogers I896 Thread)?
Thanks
Hi all,
I've spent most of my lunchbreak searching for the answer to this question but can't find much.
I've just had my phone back from repair where I had to flash O2 branded 2.2 before I sent it back and I had a lot of trouble finding the correct Rom. My returned phone now has branded 2.3.3 on it and I want to back it up myself in case it ever needs to go back again. Is this possible?
Thanks,

Yes it is possible, but you will need to root, instal cwm recovery and then make a nandroid backup

Thanks for the info. Will the Nandroid backup be completely stock then? Won't the backup have CWM and be rooted?

If you root, and install CWM ...CWM and root will remains after you install your nandroid backup. If you rooted flashing a kernel, you may unroot flashing a stock kernel..but it may fail..it may depends on the kernel, not 100% sure. And you need to have the stock kernel to flah any way.
I think you better look for a leeked copy of your stock firmaware today, before having any problem, and store it in a safe place.

I thought so, thanks. I've got my branded 2.2 firmware so I'll just use that in future if I need to send it back again and update through Kies.
Hey all,
I was wondering if any kind, experienced users out there would be willing to help talk me through the flashing process for my specific situation. My cappy is currently rooted, running the last version of the Firefly froyo ROM (released last April). As such, I have clockwork recovery all ready to go. But I am confused by the switch from 2.2 to 4.0, and if there is anything extra I need to do besides Tibu backup, wipe data and cache, and then flash the new ROM using clockwork recovery. Do I need to flash a 2.3 ROM first? Is Tibu going to give me problems? Should I revert to stock first? Odin to update bootloaders? Heimdall? I'm so confused and I can't risk the brick!!
I know this may be a complicated question, so if someone wants to DM me instead, that would be amazing. Essentially, I'm looking for a step-by-step explanation of how to get from Firefly, a 2.2 ROM, to teamhacksung's ICS or another ICS ROM, and retaining my apps and data and with the smallest chance of flashing complications.
Any good samaritans out there? THANK YOU!

Alright you always need gingerbread boot loaders, then you can install a kernel with cwm and then just flash the rom, when I get home I can explain to more detail, hard to type it all out on my phone.

I can't say you NEED gingerbread bootloaders, but they are highly recommended since once you flash them, there is never a need to flash them again, and certain ICS roms and kernels may require them. The easiest way to get them is to grab an Odin/heimdall gingerbread one-click with bootloaders; find in the dev section. You currently have ClockworkMod recovery, so you should be able to flash the zips from there. Since you are on a non-CM ROM, you will probably have to flash it twice.

I'd like to start playing around with ROM's for my SGN but I'd like to know if there is a way to make a backup of my current Gingerbread 2.3.6 Stock ROM.
Maybe with PC Odin? Can I dump my current ROM to a flashable file to be able to go back to stock Gingerbread whenever I want?
I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Its called a nandroid
get yourself CWM recovery and then boot into it, Go to back up and job done, It will create a nandroid.
Now all you have to do is boot back into recovery and restore it when you want !
Thank you azzledazzle. I'm very familiar with CWM and Nandroid backups I was thinking that maybe there was another way. Does the Nandroid backups also backup the kernel? or would I have to downgrade to stock GB kernel first if I want to downgrade from ICS?
I do believe it backs up the kernel too, However i wouldnt recommend restoring a GB nandroid from a ICS ROM, I would suggest to flash GB in ODIN, then restore nandroid.
Flashing with odin only takes 5 mins
It might work, restoring from ICS to GB via nandroid, But i havent seen any confirmation on this, and what with the bricking risks and all that, Its better to be safe than sorry !
Thank you again. That makes sense.
One last question... maybe if you don't know someone else might:
Are all Gingerbread kernels the same, I mean are all 2.3.6 kernels the same for all Galaxy Note Stock ROM's regardless of CSC? Or is there a possibility that my current GB 2.3.6 ROM is not "compatible" with one of the existing GB 2.3.6 kernels (in case there is more than one)?
For instance if I go back to my firmware with CSC TTT and install a kernel for say CSC XME, will that work? and which CSC will my phone end up with, TTT or XME?
Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.
I keep keep switching between roms and having the stock rom seems to be the mid point. So was wondering if there is a way to flash stock rom (latest) and root it. Like in samsung i use to flash the stock rom via Mobile odin and that app had the ability to root while flashing..do we have any similar way to do it?

No. ..and do not even bother your self to ask more question about it, there is no way around, the only way is the one which you already know, like in my signature.
keep a backup on your sdcard and just restore it, no need to flash stock, downgrade, install recovery, install pre rooted rom.
Once you have root and recovery, just restore backups....
