So, I am using CM7 on my i9000 and I want to simply try the MIUI.
I have just wanted to make a nandroid backup, install MIUI zip and then restore back to CM7
Will it work, or MIUI uses the custom Kernel?

Just do a data wipe and flash Miui via cwm.
To go back, wipe data again, install the new cm7 nightly, then restore your nandroid.

But doesn't nandroid backup EVERYTHING, including the rom itself? So, shouldn't I restore, and then update the Nightly?
If I flash CM9 (link) with CWM can I switch back to CM7 by flashing with CWM, for example can i switch back to the MiniMod X ROM(link)?
Yes you can but before and after installation wipe data and cache it's better for your phone and finally dont forget to make a nandroid backup

Yes. CWM stays intact. If that is what you are afraid of.
You can switch between roms any number of times

Do a backup of your current rom just in case.
Format /data , /system , /cache , /sd-ext. Its sd-ext not sdcard.
Wipe dalvik cache and battery stats.
Now youre ready to put back your backup

If nothing work, you may flash the stock rom by odin and then restore with CWM :cyclops:
[EDIT] I assumed that you wanted to go back to stock rom as it was before flash spacecaker's rom, cause CWM restores the image of your device

you could install a stock rom with no mods like stocklite
Hi everyone!
Maybe I have a basic doubt, but because I don´t understand, I like have clear this. Yesterday I decided root, replace the recovery and install a custom rom on my Note (N7000). I choose the kernel from PhilZ and install following the recommended method (very easy).
After this all work perfect, I do a full backup of actual system (this is nandroid backup, right?) and after this I install the CM 10.1.3 that also work well. I not rememeber exactly, but following some steps to install this ROM I do before or after install this procedures also: WIPE/DATA FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE, WIPE DALVIK CACHE. This procedures are correct?
The device work well, but I have a big doubt because if I boot into recovery I not see anymore the PhilZ touch interface, now I see:
CWM Based Recovery 6.0.3.6
that is other recovery, right? Is normal this behavior? I not understand in what step I change the PhilZ recovery to CWM.
Thanks in advance for all info and help to clear this
This is the CWM recovery same as philz, the difference is that, the version you used before.. It was touch, and after flashing the recovery changes as the CM 10.1 flashed their own kernel...
so it is the same recovery, do not worry
and yes, AOSP/CM roms have their specific kernels, so please do not flash philz on the current recovery...
and one more thing... the process is correct, do a wipe data and factory reset and then format system and preload
Thanks NoteboyTech, yes, I know that work basically like PhilZ, but my main doubt is in what moment of all procedures are installed the CWM Based Recovery. This mean that this CWM are installed in the moment that I install the CM 10.1.3?
Now if I like keep the PhilZ, is safe if I boot again in recovery and install from the .zip file from PhilZ again? or not recommend this?
The wipe: I need made the wipe factory, cache and dalvik before each time that I like restore a ROM or also kernel?
Thanks!!!
You are using a cm rom. Philz kernel Tw doesn't work with cm rom. If you flash philz on cm, phone won't boot.
There is no need to wipe if you just changing the kernel.
If you want the touch recovery, you can install nx kernel which includes philz recovery and is a cm based kernel.

Read my post again, I edited it!!!
Thanks to all!
Now I believe that understand a bit more
Perfect. This mean that if I like keep the PhilZ as recovery I need install the nx kernel, right?
Now, if for example in the future I like try one new version or actual version of my stock ROM, is safe to download from Samsung Updates website, install from .zip like I do with the CM, and ready, I have the stock ROM. Is correct?
OK, I not need wipe anything for kernel installations, but yes for ROMs, right?
Only data/factory and cache or also dalvik?
This wipes I need made before install the ROM or after?
Thanks for all!
Stock rom has be be installed using odin not like the cm

Thanks!, ah, right, because stock rom´s should be installed using download mode instead recovery mode, right?
And the last: all the native apps from Samsung like SPen, etc, that go with the stock rom, I can download from any place or installed now into the CM 10.1 or future versions of CM? Thanks!

Ups! :S Small detail Thanks!
One more that I detect: when I boot into recovery (CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.6) I see that the last and bottom line on main screen say this message bellow. Its important this? Thanks!
Code:
Warning: No file_contexts
Nothing wrong with it. Comes on new Cwm recovery.

Today I try make a complete nandroid backup, but can be possible that the CWM Based Recovery 6.0.3.6 don´t have this option?
Some days back, with the PhilZ recovery, I can do very easy.
To restore a nandroid backup I need use the same recovery or the generated files are compatible with all recovery?
????
CWM 6 versions are compatible.. it can be restored using any recovery.
Why can you make a nandroid back on 6.0.3.6?
Main Menu> Backup & Restore> Backup to Internal or External SD

Thanks nokiamodeln91!, maybe yesterday when I try Im a bit sleepy at night Also in this moment I found a "nandroid" name into the menu.
Have a link to read how backup the IMEI number?
Can be possible that I detect that after I made all these changes (change the recovery, root, install new rom, etc) the Serial number of the device has changed? I can change from any area to the original one?
Option to backup efs is in the philz recovery. Or you can use ktool from the playstore to backup efs. This has to be done as soon as you root. There is no point of backup if the imei has already changed.

OK, as already tell me I can´t install the PhilZ recovery on CM 10.2, this mean that my only option is install the ktool and backup EFS (this backup the IMEI), right?

No, the IMEI is correct, the change is in the SERIAL NUMBER of the device, not IMEI. This can be fixed writing the correct serial number?
Not sure how to correct the serial number.
Ktool is a good tool to backup efs.

Hello Everybody,
Last week I have made a CWM backup of Stock 4.1.2 with Philz touch recovery and then installed CM 10.2.
Yesterday I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2-signed.zip and rebooted into recovery to restored my previous CWM backup of stock 4.1.2
I did all wipes and restored backup successfully. After rebooted I can see only a black screen with status bar with three icons (battery,time and network).I hve tried for two times but same problem.Then I reinstall CM10.2 using recovery.
I didnt understand where I have mistaken.
Please tell me what to do? I want to restore my backup.
Thanks in advance.

Some where in misc nandroid settings.
You mean I have to check Preload after restore my cwm backup?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
You have to check it before restoring the backup as stock 4.1.2 uses preload partition for a lot of apks.
I really don't get what you are asking. You have to go to nandroid setting and place x besides include preload.
