1. Your stock rom, and it's data
2. You can flash another rom. But, if you are going to restore your backups. It will be do nothing, because your phones going back to previous rom, data. Do a normal flash rom, and then you can do a backup, if you want.

Hello, I have been using darky 9.5 rom for a while without problems but today CM7 launched the long waited nightly and I decided to try it. I made a backup from the dark core recovery and then flashed the CM7 rom perfectly. I didnt like it at all so I wiped everything in order to restore the darky backup...
And then the problems came up. The restore said successful but the phone stuck at first GT-I9000 logo. I reverted the phone to stock and installed clockworkmod but still cant boot into the rom. However, I can restore my first stock backup so I think its a boot.img problem or something like that.
Can I delete boot.img from the folder and try to restore with a darky rom installed? It should be the same boot.img
Its not a big deal but I hate to reinstall all my apps from the market and configure them!
Thanks!
Install the "stock rom" with kernel speedmod and bootloader that are in Sourceforge in CM7 (GT-I9000 FROYO full PDA) , after wipe all .
OK, restore your backup

So the order is:
1. Back to stock rom
2. Root the rom
3. Install speedmod
4. Install bootloader
5. Wipe
6. Restore
Am I right? Thanks!
The speedmod is including in the rom (is full rom stock with mod kernel)

Yes I did. Probably the backup is corrupted. I spent all this morning installing again the darky rom and configuring all my apps. Thank you anyway
I had the same problem, im not professional but I think its becouse Cm7 is 2.3.4 and Darky is 2.3.3...
I firstly flashed Froyo w/ bootloaders and then I installed Darky v10.
After that I want to CMW >advanced restore and restored my /data so I got all my programs back
Hi there,
I have a rooted N7000 running original Android v 2.3.6
I want to flash (test) it with a custom ROM.
I made a full backup of my current system (via CWM backup)
Now, when I flash a (new Android 4) custom ROM, will it then be possible to restore the old v2.3.6 image that I made, using CWM?
Other question: Do I need to take care of what type Kernal version I have
I have 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
Baseband-version is N7000XXkk5
Thanks for your reply.

nothing to worry about, that is what backup is intended to do.
the only thing you have to watch that you're on safe kernel like philZ when wiping data in stock ics or jb (read sticky threads)
example: if you are on philz kernel and runing ics or jb, when you restore your backup of gb, you restore your gb kernel, system, data etc, just like backing home

OK, Thanks for the reply. So if I understand correctly:
1. I make a backup of my current ROM (Image via CWM) and put it in a safe place.
2. I can flash any custom ROM, and test/play with them.
3. Afterwards I can put back my old ROM again via CWM restore.
4. Reboot, and I'm back in the old state.
Is this right?
Can I flash ROMs by using CWM also (using zip files) or do I need to flash, using Odin?
I actually do not understand your remark about philZ, can you explain a bit more about what that means.
Thanks for your help so far

Since you are going to try custom rom, you need not to worry about emmc brickbug, since they will be using a safe kernel..but double check before flashing...so, if you are on Stock ICS kernel, you should NOT wipe/factory reset..if you do, you will brick your phone..you can just go through couple of sticky threads to know abt emmc brickbug, if you are not aware of that..whatever the steps you have mentioned above are correct..but when you flash a custom rom, follow the instructions mentioned in the Custom rom OP...

1. Yes, copy your /clockworkmod to your pc (just for double safety) dont cut it or move it, you need it on your internal sd card always, if you wanted to restore it again... and dont rename it (you will end up with message md5 missmatch!)
2. of course
3. Every new custom kernel like Philz kernel ( for ICS TW and JB TW) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
or hydracore (not working on TW JB, but works on all other) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863
have built in CWM 6.x.x.x , You can recognize them by the gray background in CWM recovery. (there is no need to install independet CWM or something else, like you do on your stock GB kernel)
They are built in almost every custom rom, and these kernel are safe for wipe.
3.1 . So if you flashed new custom TW ics or jb, and after playing with them, you want back to your nandroid backup, just go boot in recovery (now you see a grey background CWM6) do all the wipes (in my experience the best way is: (advanced > wipe dalvik cache, go back > wipe cache, then wipe/data factory reset, then go into mounts and storage > format cache,system,data and preload , dont format emmc and sd card. go back into backup/restore > restore from (internal sd card or some other place depends on where you place your backup)
4. of course, when youo see a message backup complete, reboot it
Backing up stock ROM before flashing a new ROM... is this possible? If yes, how should I go about it?
Yes... Possible..
Install CWM-reboot in cwm-choose backup.
It will take backup of current rom(stock if u r using)
This is not a guaranteed procedure to backup the stock ROM for *all* situations. Once you install a new ROM, the stock kernel may also get overwritten.
If you were to go back and restore the Nandroid backup of your stock ROM, it may not work because the kernel may not be the same as before.
So my question still remains open.... How to backup (or extract) the stock ROM from your phone (as a precaution) before you install a new ROM?
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) .
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

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.
