But needs root also, so I will root first , but before that I want to take a backup from my stock rom without root , and when I went to my phone ClockworkMod recovery I did not find the Backup and restore option,! may be only after the rooting?

you cant, you would need to download the original firmware to flash it to stock, you might try one of the backup tool in the market but a full nandroid backup you cant do unless rooted

Ok I have a root now ,
when I rebooted my note to recovery I get this : Android system recovery <3e>
It looks like CWM but has no backup and restore options and thats why Iam confused
How I can get the CWM I used to use with my HTC Sensation
It looks like you only did root when what you wanted was root + CWM.
Go back to Dr.Ketan's guide and look at the procedure below this line that is in the first post:
-----------------------------------------Forget all Above and follow simple Step below------------------------------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My summary of your best options:
Follow from Step 2 and use the already-rooted.bat file
OR
The better (in my opinion) way:
Purchase Mobile Odin Pro(MOP) from the market and go get the CF Root Kernel that matches your firmware to get CWM. Just put the Kernel on your sdcard and run MOP, make sure EverRoot and all injections are checked, select file, find kernel, flash. Done.
MOP has also enabled us to retain root when flashing stock firmware updates by using the EverRoot and injections options, however you will lose most CWM functions when this is done. To regain CWM, you simply follow the same steps as above to update to a matching CF Root Kernel.
Have fun, and be sure to hit the thanks button for Ketan and Chainfire!
Dear beestee,
So: I have Kernel KK2 - Download This - and Extract
then : I am Already Rooted - Execute "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions
is there any side effects ? like format ot can not Upgrade via OTA or else?
Is there any thing need to be packed up first? like the original kernel if this method will change it
Nothin side effect, you can upgrade over OTA, BUT If you update over OTA/kies, you will lose Root.
So you have to use CWM or Mobile odin to update newer ROM

Ok I done it and it working, but I found that CWM is a program now you can access from phone not like in HTC where you must inter bootloader and MAGLDR to inter CWM
I can make the backup and restore from inside the program - right?
You can get it with entering recovery too, you have to press Home + Vol UP + Power to enter in recovery mode.
you can simply do it with inside app - restart in recovery
when you give command to backup, it will restart and auto enter in recovery mode and finish it

Think I have this figured out but just want some advice before I take the plunge! I have a Bell Mobility phone rooted with the lastest Viper Rom. Cracked my screen and want to return it for warranty...so what I gather is I need to relock the bootloader and flash the RUU?
As I cant seem to find an official Bell RUU I have downloaded this
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1818-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-bm-001-1296665/
Sound about right?
No RUU for Bell is available.
Only one solution I thing
1) Get S-OFF (using revone) and unlocked boootloader
2) Flash CWM custom recovery
3) Flash this
M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID BM___001 / 1.29.666.5
from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
4) Flash any stock recovery
5) Using revone ,remove TAMPERED , Lock bootloader.
6) Get S-On
7) Return phone to service.
ps.If you made the nandroid backup before flashed custom ROM , use it, instead of item 3.
it would be better.

ok, so since the nandroid is for cwm and you are using cwm, this can not be the problem. are you sure that you've placed the nandroid backup in the correct cwm backup folder? so in cwm you can find it under "restore" but then you get an error?
edit: your bootloader is still unlocked isn't it?

great! don't worry, this is how it should be now because you've flashed STOCK-recovery all fine, now just leave it like that, use revone to lock your bootloader and finally use hasoon2000's toolkit to switch back to s-on. and voilà, you're completely stock then :highfive:

Before flashing you should have tried to make sure the backup file was there (select restore in the menu before flashing); Maybe there's a bug in the CWM

Hello everybody,
I'll make this as quick as possible but basically I am in desperate need of someone to guide me trough the complete process from stock to AOKP or CWM.
I have read alot of the guides here on the forums but the number of threads just really confuse me and alot of threads lead to other threads which are outdated.
So if you could show me the best way to root my phone, backup all of my data (so I can revert back completely to stock), lock & relock my bootloader etcetera, I'd be forever in your debt.
I have some rooting & custom rom experience on a Samsung device but this is like really really different and I'm scared to mess up my €500 device, but I'd really love to have either AOKP/CWM.

You need to unlock your bootloader first,there is a guide how to.
Before doing that make a backup of your TA partition,you will find the tool,in development section.
To backup TA you have to be rooted,follow doomlord guide in dev section how to root the latest firmware.
Once all the above is done,download any cm or aopk rom.
Extract the downloaded zip,you will find a file boot.img , this file should be flashed to your phone by fastboot.
Type the command : fastboot flash boot boot.img +enter and connect your phone by pressing volume up + insert the usb cable (your phone should be off first) you will see a blue led and the file will be flashed.
Turn your phone on and when you see a purple led press volume down,this will take you to the recovery.
In recovery factory reset/wipe data and install the rom zip(the rom's zip should be copied first to your sd).
Done

Hey there man!
Thanks for the quick guide, already feeling more clear now.
Few things though, do I need to backup my original firmware to be able to go back to stock? (I don't care about apps or anything)
And does this whole process disable the ability to make my device like it was out of the box?
And lastly, it's "root > backup TA > unlock bootloader > put rom on sd > flash that".
And when I'm on CM or AOKP and I want to go back to stock, how would one do that safely?
Thanks a bunch!
Using this tool will let you go back to stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
After going back to stock you will have to root your phone again so you can restore TA.
After restoring TA,you will have to flash the stock rom again so your phone will be as it was out of the box.
Edit: yes the steps are correct.

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.

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.

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.

No, not a backup to computer, boot to TWRP and choose the backup option, nandroid are created in recovery. Using PC isn't the right way to do what I said.

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.
