[Q] Noob question about backups

Hi to all!
Well, yesterday i was using xGin 6.2, but trying something, my phone got stuck at boot, and i was not able no enter xRecovery or CWM recovery. So, i restored my phone with PC Companion, and i'm now in stock rom.
But, when i was on xGin, i've made a backup of that rom. What happens if i go to my CWM recovery that i've installed on stock rom, and i restore the xGin backup? can i do that? is that possible?
waiting for a response

Yeah, sure! That's what backups are for!

But now that you've found the path to PC Companion (enlightenment!), wouldn't it have been more fun to try restoring the backup then ask for help should things not go as planned? It helps the learning curve.

Exactly! I dont know about the rom you mentioned, so if it is based on custom kernel i think you should flash the kernel first or else you will brick your phone again...

I did read well (though you rhetorical question smarts of sarcasm - I'm merely trying to help).
Quite a number of kernels have recovery built into them. It's as simple as:
- flashing a kernel with recovery
- restoring your backup
- flashing the kernel compatible with your ROM (if the current one isn't)
- booting your ROM!
Unless your ROM is one of those that give hell when trying to restore from backups (I've encountered a few of such; won't say no names)

[Q] Get me back to stock rom n7000

Dear all,
Please help me as I already rooted my Galaxy note n7000 and installed AOKP jelly bean 4.1.2 but I want to get back to my original stock rom as it was ICS 4.0.2. but I am afraid to do something wrong.

you can just do wipes on the recovery and flash a stock ICS rom using PC Odin
if i were you, i made a nandroid backup before trying another rom, so that i can just restore and dance gangnam style while the phone restores...

I already downloaded the odin and the ICS rom but when i started the odin and load the PDA. i didn't knew what is the next step. should i reboot in recovery mood or what ? and i don't know how to load the phone, CSC in the odin.....please help me

If you want to keep the root, restoring nandroid backup will do..no need to flash the stock kernel again until & unless you want to unroot..once you restore the nandroid backup, you will get the same kernel on which you were, when you were making the nadroid backup..for stock kernels click here

NANDROID ? Don't use stock recovery. Don't make nandroid backup for stock rom.

so how should i flash cwm recovery .
and which recovery is best suited for nandroid backups and comptability with all apps.
does it necessarily require me to install custom roms.

I am in same situation with a GT-S5570, it has stock rom and is rooted. I downloaded Clockwork Manager to it's SD card.
Then from stock Recovery manager I tried to install CWM from sd card. The screen got distorted and graphic looked awful.
Had to reboot and nothing got installed.
Tried Odin but it won't recognize my phone while in Downloading mode.
I want to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2........any ideas? I guess I need somekind of backup first, if I mess up and need to reinstall stock? Hard to do with stock recovery mode though.

Apps can always be reinstalled in no time I think, problem is I can't install CWM from stock recovery, when selecting update from sd/zip or whatever it says, I pick the CWM file on my SD-card.
Then the graphic gets messed up and I can no longer see the menu clear.

before you flash cwm make sure its in the root directory of your sdcard... . So to say sd root is to say the topmost folder on the sdcard, which is just on the sd and not in a folder.

without getting odin recognize your Mobile you should not flash anything as if you get in any trouble it would be easy for you to flash the stock rom
and best and safest method to flash cwmr is to flash it through odin
you cannot backup stock rom with cwm recovery only custom one's can be backed up
to backup apps and data you should use titanium backup

[Q] How to get back to Stock rom ace HELP please

Hai guys
I've rooted my ace, and I've installed cyanogenmod 9 rc2 from maclaw studio's. But I want to go back to the stockrom. I've made a backup before (by clockwork mod), so my question is, can I restore it and use my original rom (android 2.3.5). I haven't tried it before. Should I do something else before. Need I Odin. Plz help.

Hi pal!
You could restore your previous nandroidbackup from the recovery without any problem.

You can restore,but if you have bootloop after restoring just wipe both caches

You're welcome.

But my phone isn't rooted any more. (After the update, I don't know why). Must my phone be rooted before the restore, or isn't it necessary.

I think you need CWM recovery; and so, yes, you need root before.
Anyway, before doing anything you may do another nandroid backup of your new firmware..
Good luck

R: [Q] How to get back to Stock rom ace HELP please
Root is not needed in order to use the CWM correctly. If you restore your backup successfully and everything works you're ok I few time ago I installed CM 7.2 on my Ace with CWM without pre-rooted rom on.

Hi, have u tried to flash the official firmware by Odin?

It's Very Easy my friend
Simple Bro , Download the firmware files from sammobile.com then Google for Galaxy Ace Odin ..I guess the version is 4.38 or something like that ..and make sure you download the cooper file with it then flash the original firmware using Odin.So then your phone is back to how it was when you bought it..now flash CWM Recovery again and then restore your back up.
I hope this was helpful.
If you want the instructions on how to do this ..let me know ..I'll give you think link for the files also

Should I install the same root file by clockworkmod, or another file, because it's the second time. I have already superuser on my phone, but it don't give privileges at my apps. It's very strange. Thanks for your help.

Hi Tob1234!
The rooting method depends on phone's firmware (and android version), search for yours.
If one method doesn´t work for you, you could try another, eventually you'll get it.
You also could install from recovery -CWM- (acording to the OP's instructions) any stock ROM from the threads thus, as you know, they are already rooted.
BTW, I'm on a sotck one: NaTHaN's ROM with Space Kernel and, for me, all goes like a charm.
Good luck!

Hi, thanks for the link. But when I restore my backup, made with my old rom, I would be back to that rom, or not. That sounds easier. And, if I need Odin, is it possible that I can use it, because I've read on a site that you can't use Odin when you have used clockworkmod.

Hi Tob1234!, when you restore your backup, made with your old rom, you go back to that rom as it was when you did that backup (apps, settings and all).
You don't need Odin for doing that, just use CWM recovery if you want to restore your old backup made with CWM.
You can use Odin, but with other special files, NOT with nandroid backups.
To have CWM or not doesn't matter for using Odin.
BTW, all this stuff is in the links.
Good luck, Tob!
