I made back up of two ROM, one in CWM and one in TWRP. When I used kernel with CWM, I cant made restore from ROM backuped in TWRP. Why? Is that possible and how? Or is not possible?

Backups have checksums made by the version of CWM or TWRP you used and only the same version of CWM or TWRP can restore them.
so if you used CWM version 5, flash that version to restore your backup
IF you used version 2 TWRP, flash that to restore your backup
this can be overcome by deleting the MD5 check sum, but you will be taking a risk.

[Q] KERNEL Backup/Restore.

Hello,
I need to know before install Overcome & CWM if it's possible to backup my stock KERNEL. Currently i have 2.6.36.3 kernel.
I think that is better to restore with the original kernel if need to use tha warranty one day ?
So is it possible to backup or download the stock KERNEL.
Thanks a lot for your help.
before you do anything get a nandroid backup and save that original nandroid backup.
Nandroid Backups are a full ROM backup, that means:
Radios
ROMs
Kernels
User Data
Trying to claim a warranty after you violate the terms and services isn't the most honest thing to but if you intent to cheat the warranty system that just hold on to your backup. A nandroid backs up everything
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. For the warranty I am okay with you regarding the honesty.
About the Nandroid ROM backup, i read somewhere that full backup must be done but it backup all except the Kernel !
I am little bit lost :
1/ The KERNEL Backup can be done with Nandroid backup ?
2/ Can we make Nandroid backup with stock ROM & stock Kernel (fresh TAB) ?
3/ The CWM is it a Kernel ?
Thanks a lot.

CWM stands for clockwordmod, its a custom recovery. You need a custom recovery before you can start changing things about your tablet. It is Not a kernel. Think of a car. A kernel is like eh engine, the recovery is like a toolbox. Its more complicated but thats the idea. The stock recovery is too limited, which is why we have custom ones
When you do a nandroid back up it backs up everything. When you do a nandroid back it backs up the kernel as well as the ROM all of your settings and app data. All in one.
If you want a stock nandroid Do it first thing after you have a custom recovery. A nandroid is saved in the clockwordmod folder. Then save that file somewhere safe. Flash drive computer t whatever.
Hope this helps

Here is the Flashable zip for backup your Old recovery and kernel
First, You need root
From your stock recovery, Flash backupkernelrecovery.zip.
Approximately 30 seconds, backup process will make a folder "mybackups" in your SD card,
Reboot as normal, and Open "My Files" and see folder "mybackups"..
You'll find 2 file recovery.img(your stock recovery) and boot.img (stock kernel)
For Restore your recovery.img
download overcome cwm from alterbridge86 thread, unzip the file and replace recovery.img from that files with yours..zip again and flash from recovery, reboot and you got your old stock recovery..

Tested on my P7300 and works..

[Q] how to create backup stock rom Galaxy S6500 Without CWM

Hello
I have a S6500 and I would like to install a custom rom I've seen here, but I would like to do before a backup of my stock rom that is flashable by odin without installing cwm as my stock ROM is S6500BVLE3 Orange Spain and for reasons of I like to have my warranty stock rom.
Anyone know if I could create a full backup without installing cwm, for exemple adb commands, etc..?
Thanks.
root ur phone
install titanium backup app
backup all the data of everything
you can make a full nandroid backup with stock recovery.

No you can :facepalm:
If that would, no one will install CWM.
it is very difficult to create a odin flashable fw
there's a guide for it in xda
There is disk image of stock ROM flashable via odin but of course data will no be restorable and must be backed up via titanium backup.
Sent from s6500d with custom ROM and kernel.
Well ... if you want to install a custom ROM , you would have to install CWM anyway , so yea ... xD
I can guarantee that there's nothing that could happen to your device as long as you flash the right things , though . You can find all you need in my signature below (first download Odin , then the CWM 5.0.2.8 .tar , then flash the CWM tar as PDA with Odin while your phone is in Download mode) .
So the short answer is no , you can't do anything without CWM (no backing up , no rooting , no custom roms) .

[Q] CWM to TWRP preserving ROM & data

Hello everyone.
Forgive me for asking how to change my recovery from CWM to TWRP once again, but all threads I have read so far don't answer my question, which is:
I would like to keep my PAC-Android with all data and just change CWM 6.0.3.1 to TWRP so that I can try other ROMs such as ViperOne or Revolution HD.
Most threads I've read point to Goo Manager which should be able to install OpenRecoveryScript. That gives me the notification that "no recoveries were found for my device". The next option is to use fastboot. For that, I need to unlock the bootloader of my device, which means that I will [theandroidsoul / htc-one-m7-bootloader-unlock-guide OUTSIDE LINK DELETED]lose all ROM data, apps, private data, just everything[/URL]. Since it's possible to flash TWRP over CWM via Goo Manager, I think it should be possible to do this without deleting all data.
I would appreciate any help.
For those of you who are wondering why I want to lose my PAC-Android:
Speakerphone does not work (works fine in Skype though) and I would like to try it on a custom ROM which is closer to stock.
I hope I understand your query correctly..
1. First of all, since you are initially using CWM. Backup your current PACAndroid using CWM.
2. Flash TWRP using your existing CWM recovery.
a. Here's the flashable zip: https://www.dropbox.com/s/716uhr84madvvjl/TWRP_2.6.3.4_m7.zip
3. Flash any ROM (Viper or ARHD)
If you would like to revert to PACAndroid.
1. Flash CWM recovery using your previously installed TWRP.
2. Restore backup.

hum, didn't know it was that easy. thanks a lot for that. (I already had openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7ul.img, I haven't flashed anything but zips yet. What about those .img files?)

So, just to be clear, that means that by flashing TWRP I only change my recovery and I will still be able to boot PAC-Android and I will not lose any data. Then, I can create a TWRP-based backup of my PAC-Android and dispose of all CWM-related stuff?
Everything OK. I flashed TWRP and will stick to it. Backup done.
Thank you a lot!
No problemo amigo!.. Hey hit thanks!..
FYI, you could have flashed the .img file without even rebooting (if you are rooted). The TWRP web site even has instructions--it just requires a single shell command. What happens in the background is very simple--the data in the .img is written to the phone's recovery partition.
This is how I last upgraded TWRP--it just works. (The command is called "dd", but I won't bore you by giving the full instructions.)

They should be compatible. You would have to copy your backups from the old backup folder to the new folder though.
I said should be compatible because I haven't tried it myself yet.
It would probably be best to just flash the old TWRP and restore with that for now.

Edit: Old backups do indeed work with 2.6.3.0.
thanks for the replies meek,
anyway, i had updated TWRP to flash over the kitkat w/ awesomebeats. I got it to work but then...i tried to flash my recovery and couldnt access the recovery files. then, the kitkat awesome beats rom wouldnt let me access my usb storage...grrrr. so, to get back to my recovery files, i downloaded the older version of TWRP through chrome on my phone, and was able to flash it back, and access my recoveries. WOOH!:good:

A TWRP question

Hi
I made a nandroid backup recently with EliteTWRP before experimenting with custom ROMS. I now need to restore the backup, but in TWRP it is only offering me to restore the /data partition. This can't be right and of course the backup fails. The ROM I was trying was Lineage 14.1. All I get when rebooting is the Lineage boot logo which goes nowwhere.
Any advice here, do I need to go back to stock rom or can I use this backup?
thanks
