[Q] Noob question about backups - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all!
Well, yesterday i was using xGin 6.2, but trying something, my phone got stuck at boot, and i was not able no enter xRecovery or CWM recovery. So, i restored my phone with PC Companion, and i'm now in stock rom.
But, when i was on xGin, i've made a backup of that rom. What happens if i go to my CWM recovery that i've installed on stock rom, and i restore the xGin backup? can i do that? is that possible?
waiting for a response

Yeah, sure! That's what backups are for!

But now that you've found the path to PC Companion (enlightenment!), wouldn't it have been more fun to try restoring the backup then ask for help should things not go as planned? It helps the learning curve.

Exactly! I dont know about the rom you mentioned, so if it is based on custom kernel i think you should flash the kernel first or else you will brick your phone again...

I did read well (though you rhetorical question smarts of sarcasm - I'm merely trying to help).
Quite a number of kernels have recovery built into them. It's as simple as:
- flashing a kernel with recovery
- restoring your backup
- flashing the kernel compatible with your ROM (if the current one isn't)
- booting your ROM!
Unless your ROM is one of those that give hell when trying to restore from backups (I've encountered a few of such; won't say no names)

Help!! hanged at boot after restoring Nandroid backup!

My O2X had some problems recently and I decided to use "fix permissions" in the CWM recovery to try to solve it. Before this, I did a Nandroid backup using the latest ROM Manager (with CWM recovery 3.0.2.8).
After the backup, I did "fix permissions", then reboot. But most of the texts on the screens and menus are missing!! that's very strange. Luckily I had my backup.
So, I reboot into recovery and then did a complete restore. But the worse thing happened... the phone hanged at the boot screen with the LG logo (before the animation). It just stopped there... I tried to restore some earlier backup as well, it's the same!
I'm totally lost, because CWM recovery had been so reliable before... I had used Paul's version many times before and it worked without problem... is the newer version buggy?
Anyone know what's wrong? and how to recover??
Dunno whats wrong but if you want ur phone to work again use smartflash.

It happens when restoring CM from backup as well, the solution then is to reflash after restoring.

you mean reflashing the baseband?
No, the cm zip file. Obviously not what you want if you're on a stock ROM though.
But even if you're on a stock ROM, you can download and reflash a stock ROM over the top .

Thanks all for your kind advice. I have flashed the whole firmware and restored an older backup.
And i have reverted to use v10a rom as the v10d and the new baseband seems causing a lot of issues.

Changing the ROM doesn't touch the baseband. You need to flash that separately.

Unable to make a CWM backup

Guys, I hope that you can help me with my problem.
I tried to make a ordinary backup, usin CWM. It went fine this time. Sometimes it has occured problems with doing a backup also.
The problems come when I try to restore that backup. When I it starts, and then closes. The log says "MD5 error", I don't remember if it is exaktly that, but it is something similar.
Does anyone of you have any solution on this problem?
Thank you!
Best Regards

That sounds like a nandroid backup to me. Do NOT restore any nandroid backups in CWM on stock ICS roms/kernels.
Use Abyss kernel. Flash it. Reboot Recovery. Restore nandroid.
The actual backup should work in CWM though.
Please if you dont mind, would you explain why its not a good idea to recover the nandroid backup with an ICS kernel and so on....will this produce a bad emmc?
Currently I'm on PA Rom, I also couldn't make a nandroid backup , it says error while backing up image of /sdcard/.android_secure/
Any suggestion would be appreciated , thanks.

[Q] How to get back to Stock rom ace HELP please

Hai guys
I've rooted my ace, and I've installed cyanogenmod 9 rc2 from maclaw studio's. But I want to go back to the stockrom. I've made a backup before (by clockwork mod), so my question is, can I restore it and use my original rom (android 2.3.5). I haven't tried it before. Should I do something else before. Need I Odin. Plz help.

You could restore your previous nandroidbackup from the recovery without any problem.

But my phone isn't rooted any more. (After the update, I don't know why). Must my phone be rooted before the restore, or isn't it necessary.
I think you need CWM recovery; and so, yes, you need root before.
Anyway, before doing anything you may do another nandroid backup of your new firmware..
Good luck

R: [Q] How to get back to Stock rom ace HELP please
Root is not needed in order to use the CWM correctly. If you restore your backup successfully and everything works you're ok I few time ago I installed CM 7.2 on my Ace with CWM without pre-rooted rom on.

Hi, have u tried to flash the official firmware by Odin?
It's Very Easy my friend
Simple Bro , Download the firmware files from sammobile.com then Google for Galaxy Ace Odin ..I guess the version is 4.38 or something like that ..and make sure you download the cooper file with it then flash the original firmware using Odin.So then your phone is back to how it was when you bought it..now flash CWM Recovery again and then restore your back up.
I hope this was helpful.
If you want the instructions on how to do this ..let me know ..I'll give you think link for the files also

Hi Tob1234!
The rooting method depends on phone's firmware (and android version), search for yours.
If one method doesn´t work for you, you could try another, eventually you'll get it.
You also could install from recovery -CWM- (acording to the OP's instructions) any stock ROM from the threads thus, as you know, they are already rooted.
BTW, I'm on a sotck one: NaTHaN's ROM with Space Kernel and, for me, all goes like a charm.
Good luck!

Hi, thanks for the link. But when I restore my backup, made with my old rom, I would be back to that rom, or not. That sounds easier. And, if I need Odin, is it possible that I can use it, because I've read on a site that you can't use Odin when you have used clockworkmod.

Hi Tob1234!, when you restore your backup, made with your old rom, you go back to that rom as it was when you did that backup (apps, settings and all).
You don't need Odin for doing that, just use CWM recovery if you want to restore your old backup made with CWM.
You can use Odin, but with other special files, NOT with nandroid backups.
To have CWM or not doesn't matter for using Odin.
BTW, all this stuff is in the links.

If you want to revert back to stock from cm11.you have to flash the stock ROM through Odin then root it then flash cocore kernel and restore nandroid backup.
If not want to go through PC then
First flash custom ROM 4.3 make all wipes and format then flash cm 10.1 with all wipes and format (especially /preload partition) flash cocore again wipe all then restore nandroid backup.

Why would somebody give you this backup considering that it contains data, settings and personal information?
As I see in your signature you have a totally different phone model than Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070, can you be more specific with what you need?

Note 5 SM-920C Bricked from disabling SuperUser and rebooting

I own an Note 5 and i managed to soft brick it while trying to get android pay working for my rooted phone. In the process I was asked to turn off superuser in the SuperSu app and then reboot. After that my phone wouldn't boot.
List of things I tried:
I tried to flash the recovery.tar to my phone
Flashed Twrp and wiped my cache and davlik-cache
Also tried the fix permissions option.
*Update I bought an otg cable and flashed super su but nothing @Droidriven

Have you tried flashing your same ROM again if you were on a custom ROM and then superSU.zip then wipe cache and dalvik but don't factory reset(trying to save your data), then reboot.
If that doesn't work we'll take the next step.

A custom kernel is any kernel that isn't stock.
If you're using custom ROMs you're using custom kernel, find a kernel that works with your ROM.
Where did mention of a kernel come from?

No, custom ROMs can't use stock kernel so they need their own kernel, the kernel is what integrates your hardware with your software, roughly equivalent to drivers on PC. Without the kernel, the device can't use the ROM.

Yes, that's how some newer Samsung are having to root.
If you're on Stock firmware then you may have to find a custom ROM and flash it or flash your stock firmware via Odin and start over with rooting the device again but you'll lose your data.
You might can do a nandroid backup before you flash anything and then after flashing you can retrieve your data from the nandroid backup by extracting it and putting it back where it belongs.

Answer 1) to prevent this in the future, when you get straightened out, boot to recovery and make a nandroid backup, that way you have a backup of everything with it working correctly that can easily be restored later if you have problems and will put you back to having everything the way it was when you made the backup. Its like a restore point in Windows.
Answer 2) A nandroid backup backs up everything on your device that is important, all of your settings, your contacts, your ROM, everything. You can pull whatever data from the backup that you need. But the backup I'm telling you to make right now nay not keep everything you had, there's no telling right now how much data you've lost or not so making the backup is to save whatever you can so you can retrieve it after repairing your device.
Always make a backup after every major change you make on your device so you'll always have a backup that includes the new additions so you can restore to that point if you need to. When you make a new backup you can delete the old one unless you just want to keep it but the more backups you make the more room they take.

Don't get ahead of yourself, for now just make the backup and then focus on getting the device restored to working again and THEN you can worry about retrieving the data.
One step at a time, stop trying to cross bridges you haven't gotten to yet.

Never mind then, just keep it on PC
Now, look through your forum and find a custom ROM that works on your model number and a compatible gapps package(the ROM thread will tell you which gapps you need so don't ask) and then flash ROM then superSU then Gapps in TWRP then reboot and see if you're fixed.
If that doesn't do it then you'll need to go to Sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and type in your model number to find your firmware, download it and then flash it in Odin in the AP slot, the same slot you flashed your kernel to root.
