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..
Warning: Only restore Stock recovery after nandroid Restore done..with same firmware
Tested on my P7300 and works..

you should not restore one roms data to another one as it will also restore system data too which can cause abnormal issues like wifi/Bluetooth not working or else
you need to set system data manually and you can restore user data with titanium backup
use Titanium Backup to backup apps..when you flash a new rom,just restore apps from Titanium Backup....thats it.......just apps,not apps and data.
if you want to backup rom,then you go with CWM
Hello I have an xperia z c6602 I'm currently using pac man rom with meow kernel
My bootloader is unlocked and I want to go back to stock
I have a CWM backup of my stock rom. And a backup of my TA partition (i read it was useful)
How do I go back to stock? Can I just restore my CWM backup? Or I have to flash through Emma? How do I restore my ta backup?
Can someone be so kind to guide in a newbie way please? (I'm use to play around with Samsung devices. This is really different!)

Hello, I was on pac rom few days ago as well, then i decided to try miui which is based on stock.
So here's the steps:
BACK UP ALL YOUR INTERNAL SD FILES AND FOLDERS because flashing ftf will erase everything inside internal sd, I never did a backup, lost all the chats and messages. :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
copy all the flashable .zip u want to your sd card.
Flash a stock .ftf file .67 / .74 will do, then root it with any method u want
then flash original kernel using flashtool
then reboot str8 to recovery and proceed to do a clean wipe then flash any stock custom rom you want.
let me know if you have any doubts or question here.
My method is
1.Backup everything, photos, messages, app data using titanium backup, literally everything you need.
2.Store backups somewhere safe, especially titanium backup file(the whole thing).
3.Flash back stock rom and wiping everything.
4.Relock bootloader.
5.Now you have a clean phone, root it again and restore titanium backup app datas,
But be sure to only restore games, apps, but not system files, it may causes crash.
6.Restore the rest of them.

Thanks for the replies! Do you know how to restore my ta backup? Or by flashing the stock rom it would be the same? If not. At what part of the process should I do it?

restore ta backup is the last step basically, ( after flashing stock kernel and stock rom)
i think you used the backup ta for windows from one thread if i'm not wrong,
just restore dry run just to make sure the ta is correct and then just restore it
(the phone should be power on like normal, with usb debugging on)
for your concern, cwm backup also can be used, just restore it and it's done, but, the app data and all other things will return to the state during the time you made the backup, so the progress you did in this custom rom wil not be saved, unless you used titanium backup after you restore nandroid.
Excellent! Thanks man I will restore my backup and restore TA. And yes. I used a Windows tool to make the ta backup (don't even know what's that for. I just read it was important) haha

Hi... If I do a nandroid backup then relock my boot loader, flash an ruu then restore the backup, will it restore my device to before the lock and flash? If so how would I back-up so that it doesn't do that?

If you make a nandroid and want to keep it you will need to copy it to your PC before running the RUU. And then copy it back to your internal storage afterwards as the Ruu will wipe your internal storage.
Restoring the nandroid would restore your ROM and apps to as it was before but you will still have the updated firmware. If your old rom and new rom are on the same base i.e both lollipop roms you can restore just the Data partition from your nandroid without effecting the new rom. But this is not recommended it updating from kitkat to lollipop.
You can also use titanium backup to backup your data then restore it to your new rom once you've finished updating. But again you will need to save your titanium backup folder to your PC before using the ruu.
In short if your updating from Lollipop to newer version of lollipop. You can use the Restore Data only from nandroid method.
Kitkat to Lollipop Titanium Backup would be best.

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
