Hi all,
I'm just a few days of receiving um Mi5 64 GB and i'm been Reading some stuff on how to change from default rom and even to custom rom.
So my question is before do anything i'd like to be informed on how to do a cpmplete dump or backup of my Mi 5 or if i wanna go back to stock wow to do that that.
Best regards to all.
basically :
unlock the bootloader
install TWRP
run a full nandroid backup using TWRP.
then you've got a stock backup.

Hello guys, im planning to root and flash my wildfire device for the first time, i already studied and review all related things on hot thing done in wildfire..
now, the only question and seems not posted here..
As i bought my wildfire the stock ROM version is "1.25.707.1 cl227575 release-keys", where can i download this ROM so that incase i got a problems with different custom roms i can revert it back to my original rom version, i cant seems to find it in SHIPPED-ROMs website..
and if there no such thing as that version in the net, is it possible to backup my original ROM?.. (i guess not because i need first the custom loader to have the backup features which will wipe first my original rom before i can backup)..
Thanks!..
as far as i am aware you can use unrevoked to root your phone. this will also install clockworkmod which replaces stock HTC recovery tool. within clockword mod you can make a backup of your current ROM and all apps and settings etc. you dont need a custom ROM to backup your existing ROM. just need your phone to be rooted. which is pretty much a one click process once you have got the windows drivers installed.
not sure about posting external links on forum but google unrevoked and see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7895908&postcount=127
good luck
Hello guys,
I bought SGS1 a while ago and changed some roms it was annoying losing my apps then my friend told me to use titanium backup it was more annyong cuz i had to backup one program at a time
then i heard about Nandroid Backup , so my question is:
if i change ROM lets say from MIUI to Darky or something and i used Nandroid Backup, all my apps will be there after i restore?
Your phone will shift back exactly where it was when you nandroid backed up ! And any progress from their will be lost !

Titanium Backup offers the option to backup all your apps at the same time, in case you didn't know. This may be only for the paid version though, I'm not sure. But considering it's the most useful app I've come across, it's definitely worth the money.

Actually if you try to restore a nandroid backup after switching to cm7/miui, your phone simply wont work as the file systems are completely different.
To go back to a Samsung ROM from miui you would need to flash a stock Samsung ROM via odin, and THEN restore the nandroid.
Anyway, beyond that remember the following...
Titanium backs up apps and app data, use after changing ROMs to regain apps.
Nandroid takes a snapshot of the entire ROM, use in case of problems to repair your phone.

Correctly said rschenck!!
Basically if you are on CM7 and want to give a try to MIUI just make a NANDROID backup for full ROM backup and try MIUI ,if you don't like it then flash back CM7 first and then restore the NANDROID backup!!
when it comes to Titaniuim backup , it backs up your app data,freezes them and the apps you want (only in pro version) on any ROM and restore back after flashing any other ROM, if you are on free version then you must select manually which apps to backup that's a pain in the ass !!
Use these according to your requirements....and dont ever restore one rom's nandroid with another as the Kernels,Filesystems,Modems,Bootloaders are entirely different and that could mess up your phone !!
i would prefer NANDROID over Titanuim !!
Thanks guys for this wonderful explanation...just one more query:
I'm currently using samsung Stock rom, CF root kernel, with lagfix(ext4), and some "framework" tweaks..and am thinking of trying CyanogenMod. So if i do a Nandroid backup now, and later decide to come back from cyanogenmod, can i just use Odin to get to ANY Stock rom so that the partitions, file systems, modem etc get back to a similar old format, OR do i need this exact Stock rom version, Kernel, lagfix etc before i can restore the nandroid?
is "kernel" included in a Nandroid backup? also, are Types of filesystems included (or "Lagfix" has to be repeated)?
Hi all. Due apologies in advance if I sound like a total newbie.
I'm looking to install CM 7.x on my O2X. Before that, I want to backup my stock LG ROM so that I can restore it in the event I need to send the device back to the service centre for any reason. Would appreciate any help or pointers for backing up and restoring the stock ROM on my handset.

To have a perfect restore you'll have to get rid of CWM either, that means restoring original recovery partition. The only way to do this is to flash an original complete ROM with nvflash.
There is a thread about this with all original Froyo roms, should be easy to find in dev section.
After backup LG update tool will get you to the latest version and it will be ok to go back for repair...

i think you don't need to backup stock rom, you only backup your data and system data with titanium backup. because there is tool like nvflash that's already mention or smartflash tool to flash your phone to the original stock rom

Yes I supposed he knows that I assumed he wanted to know how to restore a complete stock ROM including the stock recovery to preserve warranty if he needs to get the phone back for repair.
you can find NVFlash & Guide in my folder :

I have been reading in several threads and I think I understand this correctly but I wanted to verify it. I have safe strap installed. I am on a 4.3 rom and the custom rom I want to install is also 4.3. I would like to make the custom rom my primary rom and get rid of the partition limitations. In order to do this I can wipe the stock rom slot and install it there, correct? If I make a nandroid back up of the original rom before I wipe it, I should be able to just restore that rom if I wanted to later, correct?

You can't NANDROID anything yet, but you can always try it and just use the MJ5 restore method if all else fails. I would go ahead and download all the files there first just in case crap happens (then you won't have to wait an hour to download it)
So basically only backup the data with twrp since the rest won't restore and then if it craps out do the mj5 restore then restore my data with twrp. Is this the restore method you are referring to?

Hi all I am from India and I got this Mi3 phone a while back in august. Now i have never updated the phone and its in version MIUI-KXDMIBE16.0.
i am very satisfied with it and I have never wanted to update as of now. battery life is great. Not i've seen that the newer update provides more ram space and so on. I want to update to the new version. But problem is that If i dont like it I want to comeback to this (v16) version. i have looked online and no one seems to have the stock rom of the mi3 v16. If I update it means I can never come back to this rom only version 15 or version 18 is available on net.
So here are my questions
1. can i make a stock backup from my existing phone? If yes how? (I need to upload a copy to the forum also seen a couple of people asking for it)
2. if stock is not possible can i use any other recovery to backup this current rom and revert back to it? if yes how?
Use cwm recovery to backup and restore a nandroid backup.
stock?
