Hello,
Any fellow Brazilian to do a 4.4.2. clean (after wipe) nandroid for me?
It is easy, you just need to do a nandroid of your current rom with your softwares, wipe and do another nandroid with the wiped rom!
I will try to do a flashable of it so we can make it available to everyone.
Thanks!

Hi,
I hope that my experience could help other persons that fall in my situation.
After a try of CM, I couldn't restore my stock backup anymore, the phone hanged up in the lg boot screen.
There were no problems about ext4 partition or wiping or fixing permission.
I was thinking to do a NVflash procedure, but i gave another try: using old modaco CWM recovery. I overwrited CWM 4.2.0.2, performed a wipe, installed the modaco zip ext4->ext3 (i didn't remember if i was ext 3 or 4) and then restore my STOCK backup: EVERYTHING WAS FINE!!!
Maybe there's a problem in the newest CWM during restore a backup, i don't know, but in this way i could restore my original firmware.
Hope that this could be usefull.
Did you do your stock backup with modaco CWM? It has different MD5 checksum than the CWM. Might be the case why you can't restore your backup.
No, I did the stock backup with the original CWM.
I think that the problem is in the restore procedure of the original CWM (4.2.0.2), in fact also the CM restore is impossible, only if you install the zip immediately after the restore. Instead... hangs up.
I find when that happens the best method is to reflash the rom your restoring and just restore the data from your nandroid backup. Always works for me.
confirm this issue with cm & nandroid restore
-----------
This is true, restore and then install the rom. But how if your restore is the stock rom? NVflash? It's not the same.
Fortunally, Modaco CWM solve it without this procedure.
Thanks!!
This solve my problem with my stock nandroid restore. I downgrade CWM to 3.1.4 (did the backup with 3.2.8 version) and now works perfect!!
Finally i could restore my stock rom.
my solution was...
1. nandroid backup of mcr
2. full wipe & installed cm7
3. nandroid restore of mcr
4. installed mcr without wipe (this solved bootloop after restoring)

The nandroid backup (backup from CWM), creates a backup of the ROM + all you data. Therefore once you flash a new ROM, recovering from CWM will cause the new flashed ROM to be reverted back to ROM you had backed up.
If I understand correctly you want to flash a new ROM and keep the apps you have on the original ROM.
If that is what you want to do, then you need a backup application to backup your apps, then restore them to the new ROM.
I suggest you try Titanium Backup, here's the free version (however it needs root access):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
-You need to have your SXL rooted first
-Install Titanium Backup on your current ROM
-Backup your apps and data to your SD card using TBackup
-Flash the custom ROM
-Install TBackup on the new ROM
-Restore your apps+data from TBackup
Enjoy!
Hi there,
I recently rooted and flashed a custom ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. I'm very new to this thing and find everything quite overwhelming, but I want to learn.
I flashed this ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119219 (the v6 No Wipe version because I was petrified about losing my data if I factory reset), but the phone is now extremely laggy and buggy, so I want to go back to the stock ROM (so I can do a nandroid backup) and then try a different custom ROM like Dmod.
So, my question is, do I have to factory reset my phone to go back to stock? Or can I just flash this file (http://hotfile.com/dl/189271016/833...T-I8190N-BTU-I8190NXXALL6-1356151513.zip.html) using the CWN recovery menu without wiping? I'm asking because my phone keeps giving me an error everytime I try to backup using the CWM Recovery menu.
Thanks and if you need me to explain something in further detail, let me know.

That firmware is a zipped odin-file. Can't be flashed in CWM.
Make a cwm nandroid backup of your "/data" to your external sd (that's your installed apps)
You can also backup your apps and appdata using titanium backup or similar, for later restore.
Just remember to never backup/restore systemapps.
Backup internal sd to computer just to be sure, if you in any situation have to make a factory reset. Make sure any kind of backup is on your external sd before you make factory reset, or it will be lost forever

Backup your data in CWM, flash my ROM and restore your data with CWM.

CWM has NO choice to backup/restore only parts of the device. Only a full backup is possible.
This is only in TWRP. Pity! I only use CWM because TWRP makes corrupted backups (three times) for me.
Or is it possible to pick out only DATA from the backup? And what is happen with the dalvik cache, which
consists of the byte-code for all installed apps, optimized for the ROM which created it?
"advanced restore and restore only /data". Is this the way in CWM that you mean @benz?
JackoMJ
Yes that's exactly what I meant, "advanced restore and restore only /data"
You don't have to worry about cache and dalvik because it's automatically created on the initial start.
thx for the information Benz (usefull in the future perhaps),
but i´ve decided to use Titanium Backup.

Hello everybody,
When i try to restore a backup made with TWRP version 3.0.2-0 i have a bootloop. I have this problem with ROM from xiaomi.eu and global ROM. (I don't use compression in parameters of TWRP).
I want to know if someone have this problem too? Or, how to fix it.
Thank you
Did you wipe caches after the restore? (dalvik at least)
Thank you so much, it worked
hey Titan users
I need stock backup restore by twrp.
thanks
