Hello guy ! I just wanna know if it's possible to go back in 4.1.2 ?!
OTG doesn't work on 4.2 ! And some other thing !
Please help me
Of course it's possible, I did it. But you will have to backup all your apps, do a factory wipe and reload either 4.1, 4.1.1 or 4.1.2
I started clean with 4.1 and let the device do OTA incremental updates to 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
I was a pain, but not as much as 4.2 is.
So if I have a cwm backup of 4.1.2 I can't restore it over a 4.2 update? I am rooted and unlocked. I don't see why I wouldn't but I want to be sure.

Did you save the backup to your desktop?

Yeah but its also on my SD, I don't see why that makes a difference either.

I'm not 100% sure but I think going backwards you wind up wiping the system totally. I'm actually curious about this because I'm considering running 4.2.

I did it without losing data. You have to move your data back to the correct location after restoring a 4.1.2 backup because 4.2 moved everything to a subdirectory. With TWRP you also have to move your backup to where TWRP can find it since Restore has no option to navigate to a different directory.

So a week ago when the new 4.2 Rom arrived I didn't even doubted to install the Rom but after seeing all the bugs in it I really wanted to try the new paranoid android beta but after seeing it not completely yet I proceeded to try to recover my backup but now with the new mapping of the stupid jellybean it doesn't find the backup although I have confirmed its there and I've noticed allot of directories with a strange 0 & 11 what can I do?! I can't lose all my data

Get an image of 4.1.2 flash it then recover your nandroid. Save everything with Titanium backup then update to 4.2 and recover data that way.

that's what I tried but it keeps the mapping from 4.2 or well at least in miui and aokp or does it needs to be a completely stock image?!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It keeps the file structure on /storage0 because there is no recovery yet which supports the conversion from 4.2 -> 4.1.x
You most likely need to convert it manually ...

Guys!!
i always appreciate the roms our developers make for us to enjoy our phone all the way more...but i know that JB and sumtimes even GB,not like JB but still lags/hangs/gets stuck..i mean i like the interface and all, of custom roms, but even the stock roms lag, and also in the end its about making calls and using watsapp, well atleast for me...!!!
So,
i wanted to know, is there any direct way install JB on my phone (like the nandroid restore) and as per my comfort, switch back to GB without the need do restoring everything (like we always have to do a factory reset and install all the apps again and restore every data again),
like can i use the nandroid restore to restore back to gb???
another thing is, suppose if i have a nandroid backup of my stock rom, and then i installed slim jb or galaxperia on my phone and want to shift back to stock...can i do the nand restore from cwm/twrp without thinking for a second (i.e. after doing the factory reset)???
From JB custom roms to JB stock, yes. If you have made nandroid backup, you can just restore. From JB to GB I don't think you can. You need to follow the downgrade procedures.
Thnx..and is there a way to get all my apps and data like they were before i installed a new rom
For eg: i have slim jb and want to shift to galaxperia...how can i without loosing the data and apps ( or without fact.reset)...i know i can use titanium but is there any other way of not even deleting them in the 1st place
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Well the reason for factory reset is to avoid any complications when switching roms..you can try flashing roms without factory reset but maybe there will be some problems. Therefore it is recommended to do so. As for backup, other that titanium you can just backup data using twrp but I prefer titanium
Guys thanks for the help..appreciate it!!
One more favor please...im currently on DDLK2 indian GB and im thinking of shifting to OmegaRomX by shaan....now i have made a backup of my stock rom using Twrp (system 552mb & data 826mb)..now as the procedure says i will factory reset before rebooting to Omega rom...
I want to ask, is it possible if i restore JUST my Data from backup, on Omegarom...i mean will i get all my apps and their data as it was...and i wont need to download it all again...
Will it work?will it cause any trouble??

Guys, gr8 news by sammy....maybe its old but i found it now...they have released jb (I9070ODDULP8) in india...does that mean its stable???
i am currently on GB...n seriously bored with this phone...are there any lags in using apps and mailnly opening the calling app...in short is it available for daily use!!!
or should i go for the latest russian version released, as russia was the first where jb was released and so i was thinking maybe it would be more stable!!!
you should go for the Indian firmware..it's very good.. battery life is awesome and practically no lags..

I didn't try it before but I'll give it a shoot !

Preferred to wipe. Going from 4.1 to 4.2.
As mentioned, titanium backup works like a charm .
Backup, flash, reinstall app, restore data.

I recommend MyBackup. It's the best app I've used to backup my data.
I did just that this morning without loosing anything, I just did install without wipe in aroma and it worked fine, it will leave a mess on your folders, but it works.
i read about probplems when upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2
i think a fullwipe combined with a titanium backup restore ist the best way and prevent possible trouble. i did it that way and it worked fine for me
OK so I bought a RAZR I at Xmas and sins then I rooted bit my self finding my own exploit and have changed it up a bit with a few mods and app edits

Hi,
I wanted to know if the backups made on jellybean firmware are compatible with the 4.4 kitkat firmware.
Or it asks you to make new backups and calls them incompatible as for the 4.2 to 4.3 transition.
Backups made using the Sony Backup Restore App.
Thanks for you time

Incompatible.

I would suggest all will be fine
Since that's 2 different bits of advice, just try it and see I think you will find it will be ok
Thanks but I need to be more sure.
I plan to format the phone while updating to 4.4, otherwise I'll have to update--> backup and then format...which is a pain.
Sent from my C6602 using XDA Free mobile app
Im sure .i backed up 4.3 then wiped to 4.4 and back up didnt get accepted. Maybe go titanium backup if u know how to use it but sony back up restore wont wont work. The base xperia apps like.phone contact says xml is incompatible. Maybe third party apps will work but not phone or message app etc.
