Hello guy ! I just wanna know if it's possible to go back in 4.1.2 ?!
OTG doesn't work on 4.2 ! And some other thing !
Please help me
Of course it's possible, I did it. But you will have to backup all your apps, do a factory wipe and reload either 4.1, 4.1.1 or 4.1.2
I started clean with 4.1 and let the device do OTA incremental updates to 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
I was a pain, but not as much as 4.2 is.
So if I have a cwm backup of 4.1.2 I can't restore it over a 4.2 update? I am rooted and unlocked. I don't see why I wouldn't but I want to be sure.

Did you save the backup to your desktop?

Yeah but its also on my SD, I don't see why that makes a difference either.

I'm not 100% sure but I think going backwards you wind up wiping the system totally. I'm actually curious about this because I'm considering running 4.2.

I did it without losing data. You have to move your data back to the correct location after restoring a 4.1.2 backup because 4.2 moved everything to a subdirectory. With TWRP you also have to move your backup to where TWRP can find it since Restore has no option to navigate to a different directory.
Is this (already?) possible ?
Camera problem is rather pain in the *** but them roms are great, though I need a working camera this weekend, and I'm not willing to install everything over yet again
I'm not sure about dual booting but you can use titanium backup to backup your apps and contacts, then you can flash the new Rom you can recover all your apps and contacts on your new Rom.
Press thanks if i have helped

Hey guys,just had one question..Im on LQB right now,and i want to flash the indian fw as i heard that it is good...after i flash it,after rooting and all,can i restore only the data part of a LQB nandroid backup through advanced option of cwm restore,or will that create problems?

I think its OK only to restore your app's data... Although I don't use or have much knowledge of using CWM, on TWRP I do this whenever I flash any new ROM....
Just make sure you don't restore your System files or Boot/kernel image as that might cause some problem.. .

Preferred to wipe. Going from 4.1 to 4.2.
As mentioned, titanium backup works like a charm .
Backup, flash, reinstall app, restore data.

I recommend MyBackup. It's the best app I've used to backup my data.
I did just that this morning without loosing anything, I just did install without wipe in aroma and it worked fine, it will leave a mess on your folders, but it works.
i read about probplems when upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2
i think a fullwipe combined with a titanium backup restore ist the best way and prevent possible trouble. i did it that way and it worked fine for me
Hi guys, I finally made the decision to root my z1,but first of all, I need to back it up. Problems are :
1. Sony pc companion backup is cr*p.
2. So I opted to using helium. Now, I got all settings up. Downloaded the pc counterpart of the app, downloaded the Android app from Google store, set up into debug mode. Helium requires my phone on PTP mode, which I do, but 1 second later, it comes back to MTP mode.
Did I miss anything? I tried downloading "drivers" from helium 's suggestions, but the one they have their is older than my SPCC.
Thanks in advance! I really look forward to rooting my device and getting it's benefits. Cheers!

Up?

I had the same problem, and I didn't find any solutions (I have Helium Premium). I ended up backing up my phone using Sonys software, just to be on the safe side. Rooting does not wipe your phone (at least not the method I used), but better safe than sorry. Unlocking on the other hand will wipe your phone!
After root, I installed Titanium and made all the backups I wanted. I also installed dual recovery (still without wiping the phone) and made a Nandroid bckup.
Titanium backup always work, use that in the future. It is worth the money, all others I have tried have been of no use

He's right. Move all files from internal memory to the PC and then use titanium backup. It's able to back up your entire phone including the application data. Duh. It can actually backup your entire device with system apps and it's data.
