[Q] ROM backup

hi all,
i've got a problem which hopefully you guys can help me with. i rooted my i9000(2.2) with z4root and then installed oclf....
now i wanted to flash gingerbread 2.3.3, so to backup the current ROM i installed ROM manager 3.0.2.2 and did flash cwm recovery, then proceeded to 'backup current ROM' but i'm getting this screen - Android system recovery (3e) and its giving me the message that its' updating media, installing mulit-csc and install default apk-files... how can i backup the ROM? i tried searching but couldn't come up with anything useful...any help would be appreciated.. i'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to this stuff

you can't install a custom zip with 3e recovery install a kernel containing cwm or if it is easier for you a rom including it(darky resurection for example) you can also downgrade your recovery and then install cwm with rom manager(2.1 roms have 2e recovery it is even possible to downgrade it with a script)
easiest would be darkys rom with odin
do you have 3btn?
edit:btw you need clockworkmod(cwm) to do a backup

yes i've got 3btn and about the cwm it's currently unable to backup... should i install speedmod kernel?.... i'll try darky's rom like you mentioned but won't i need to backup first?
thanks for the reply

well you can't backup without cwm any kernel flashable with odin/heimdall having cwm will do it ...
with darky's resurrection you will loose all apps and everything
you should use titanium to save them but don't restore system apps in 2.3
backing up efs is a must tho...

sounds like CWM is NOT installed to me? (3e would seem to indicate it hasn't to me) but I haven gone to gingerbread myself yet.

no it will not work with kies buth with odin
remember you will delete everythinv on your phone (not the files/media but settings apps contacts etc. so save them)
you can use darkys normal rom no need for resurection

i had oclf and speedmod installed.. so i disabled the oclf lagfix and removed the ext2 tools... but before flashing darky's rom i forgot to go in recovery mode and disable lagfix, is that a problem?? the rom is working perfectly but i read some posts that the lagfix should be disabled...

they aren't on by default with speedmod.
even if on it shouldn't be a problem because both kernels(you used dark voodoo with darky ?) know ext4 but it is better to deactivate it. i myself had a problem with it it didn't mount data..
if it works now you are good to go
just a tip make nandroid backup before any lagfix chance

before flashing i installed darkyrom manager and in the kernel option selected skip since i already had speedmod... i think i didn't use dark voodoo(installed version 9.5)?...but i did go in the advanced options in speedmod before the flash and enabled the lagfix and changed the data_fs, cache & DBDATA to ext4... i have already done nandroid backup....the phone has become so smooth it just feels different
thanks for replying gbohm.. you've been very helpful

you are very welcome.
you kept the kernel so what you flashed had no influence on your lagfix.
only if you chance ther kernel there could be problems.
if you flash a kernel better turn off lagfix (just to be safe)
in many cases there is no need to put it off but you have to know them with off you are safe to go...

If you can get in to download mode, then you can use Odin or Hemidall. Most roms will root you automatically.

Not really. Not many roms are odin/heimdall. You need to root and install cwm to be able to install a custom rom

no you dont.
if you are on 3e recovery, then you just need to flash a kernel via ODIN that has CWM built in
CWM has nothing to do with root. on galaxy S devices it just creates an update.zip file

Rooting your stock ROM is actually not required to install a custom ROM, depending on which ROM you are installing. For some, all you would need to do is place the Clockworkmod update zip on you internal sd, along with the rom you want to install, then boot into CWM using 3-button combo, reinstall packages twice, install zip from sd and that should be it.
However, there are some details that you may encounter such as:
If you are on stock 2.2 you have to get around 3e recovery which wont allow you into CWM recovery without a hack. Or you can flash back to stock 2.1 to avoid this problem entirely (using ODIN3 1 click, if you know how)
This simple install is really for custom Froyo 2.2 ROMS, which looks like what you should be doing anyway if you have to ask this question.
Just READ as much as you can before you do anything.

If you simply dont like the idea of having root privileges you can remove root after installing a custom rom. I have done this for my friends in the past so they dont go do anything stupid on accident. There is a 1-click root/unroot app floating around the forums for the galaxy S that has worked for me on all 2.1/2.2 roms but never attempted with gingerbread as I use root and haven't flashed a friends phone in a while.

Need a bit help on custom time installing for note ics

Hi to all expertise,
I currently have a note with stock ics 4.0.4,
it use to be on gb 2.3.6,
I use Dr ketan method (thanks) to upgrade to ics 4.0.4,
by stock gb > install custom kernel to get cwm > wipe data > wipe cache > wipe del cache > install stock ics using odin > install cwm.zip at stock ics recovery > install super user to root
Now,
I heard that if u wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delcache on stock ics will brick your phone,
so,
I can't use cwm.zip to install custom rom,
am I right?
Can teach what way should I use to install a custom rom for ics?
Thanks in advance.

Stock gb > Use PC Odin to install stock ics > install custom kernel for ICS like Philz or hydracore using PC Odin (you will get CWM & root)
Once you instal custom kernel for ICS like Philz or hydracore, you are safe to wipe since these have the eMMC_CAP_ERASE disabled.

Restrict the use of CWM.zip.
if you are not rooted, use the Philz kernel, and install from stock recovery. It will autoroot your phone and its a safe kernel and has best CWM ever built

I did a root using the cwm.zip last time till now, can i direct use the method u said or do I need to do something else 1st? And after the kernel flash by ur method, I can direct flash custom time like cm 9, right?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

i guess you are rooted as of today. Right ?
if yes what kernel are you on ? In on stock, immediately move to Philz kernel. you can use Mobile Odin to flash the kernel if rooted. if not then use the stock recovery.
After installing this kernel, you can directly flash any ROM you want

I'm still under root today, since that day using cwm.zip to root it.
My kernel is on stock ics LR2.
Baseband is LR1.
Can I direct use the stock recovery method to install this kernel u said, without unhooking the previous root?
Oh, and I didn't install mobile Odin since the day I rooted my note, just for reference.

I have downloaded this from the link u guys shown,
PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR2-OLB-v2.7.signed.zip
Is the the correct kernel I need?
And so, I will following the step bellows even though I have done the root by using CWM.zip till now:
1.put the signed zip file to the root of extenal sd card.
2.go to stock recovery, not cwm.zip recovery.
3.flash safe kernel zip.
4.reboot.
5.all set to flash custom time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, tq .

[ROM]UVMA1 rooted, deodexed rom [Stock] TouchWIZ

This is for the SGH-T879 I did not de-bloat this, if you would like it de-bloated feel free to remove all the bloat using good old Win rar. Once again this is stock UVMA1 just rooted and deodexed.
Instructions;
(If you are flashing from a CM10 Build use darkside super wipe first. if you are coming from Android 4.2 or 4.3 please use Oden to Down grade first the stock Oden flashable file can be found here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T879&pcode=0#firmware then skip to the section of how to use this to root stock UMA1)
1)Boot to TWRP.
2)Select the install tab.
3) Select file.(Darkside Super wipe, then rom)
4) Wipe Cashe and Dalvik Cashe.
5) Reboot.
Note; This rom automatically does a factory reset (noob safety net), if you have a stock touchwiz UVLG image you can safely restore your data from a backup.
This ROM can be used to root UVMA1 upgrade. After upgrade use Odin to flash ClockWork MOD. Then from CWM flash TWRP. Reboot to recovery (you should now be in TWRP). Backup your data. Install this ROM. Wipe both cashes. Restore Data. You now have rooted UVMA1. If downgrading from Android 4.2 or 4.3 you may have use Oden to Downgrade first in order to prevent bootloop, it shouldn't brick your phone but why take the chance.

PS I am not a Developer, So no need to to send me cheese. This ROM was developed by Samsung. All I did is root and deodex it that's all. Although feel free to abuse the thank you button
Also due to the huge size of this file I am still looking for a permanent hosting site this one only last 7days.
As always I am not responsible if your phone
1) explodes
2) changes the nature of Algae growth
3) bricks
4) alters the time space continuum
5) turns evil and plots to overthrow the earth
6) or any other unforeseen mishap that may befall your phone due to the fact you failed to follow directions.

will this work on note i717 ?

In theory, it can if you replace the boot image a T717 Stock ICS Boot image using 7zip or winrar.I would still be extremely careful. Your best(TO AVOID BRICKING) bet would be running this through ROM kitchen with the T717 Stock TouchWIZ ICS as you're base ROM.

Thanks for this man. I always find myself going back to stock when I need some stability for a while. I have been getting too many reboots with CM10 lately.

No problem. I made back in March for myself, didn't know anyone else needed it until people started asking for it.

We need all the help we can get.

Apologies for the noob questions... Could you explain the advantages of the UVMA1 over the UVLG3?
All I want is stability, when I was running the stock UVLG3 I had issues where I had to task-kill to get ram over 100mb in order to have any audio on phone calls...
I'm running Jedi 4 now and it's great other than the calendar widget and wallpaper scaling.
If UVMA1 is better, would you mind reposting it somewhere? If it works I certainly don't mind donating a bit, I use my phone everyday and the people that make it work better deserve some compensation
Thank you,
Scott

No need to donate, you already did when you bought the phone (Samsung built it, I just rooted it) The UVMA1 build contains the latest radio for out phone and extra security features, according to Samsung and T-Mobile.

Can I flash this through Odin as I can only get into download mode with a USB jig.
I had TWRP and a CM rom and bricked it trying to do a restore. I tried flashing the stock through Odin (3 times) but as far as I get is the Samsung logo. Everything went smoothly with Odin start to finish but got a boot-loop.

From overcome to cm11

Hi,
I need your help please. My tablet p1000 was softbricket and i used the whole Installation guide of overcome to get stock gingerbread on my tablet. It works fine but i want to use again cm11 on my tablet. The recovery is also overcome. Now my answer.
What do i have to do know to install cm11 on my p1000?
Thank you.
Hamburgo8855

Just grab cm11, and the correct gapps. Put them in your external sdcard
Boot to recovery and flash cm11, to be safe flash it 3 times.
Then flash gapps.
Then boot to the new ROM.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Free mobile app

I tried this way, not 3 times but the installation aborted. And after this, it did not start the overcome recovery but the old recovery cwm that was installed on the tablet befor i installed overcome.

You are doing it wrong.
Firstly there is no older cwm.
The gb stock safe v5 is having stock recovery.
Once you flash overcome kernel you get cwm5.
You use it to flash cm11 3 times. Without wiping or rebooting in between.
Then flash gapps. Only then you reboot.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Free mobile app

Hallo priyana,
Do I have to make a full wipe before flashing cm 11 3 times? Or just go to the recovery and install the cm11 3 times and after this flashing the gapps?
Thx
Hamburgo8855

No harm to do full wipe.
