[Q] How to I backup my phone before flashing? - Optimus One, P500, V General

How do I backup my LG Optimus One (also contacts, texts etc) before I flash into a new rom? I tried ROM Manager but my phone model isn't listed in the "Choose your model" section, and Titanium only backs up applications etc. I need to back up the whole ROM, no?

I think so ... wait wait there's another thing u could do
In recovery mode ..go to backup/restore ---advanced restore ..and try to restore "android/ data " or whatever data files present ONLY ..see if this helps otherwise Odin is ur biatch
EDIT: I went in my recovery mode to see the options well u click on advanced restore and then " restore data" ... cheers
Your solution
I know one another method.
U should reinstall another rom wich cointais the APK ext4 in order to transform ur filesystem from etx4 to rfs.
Let it work, it will take several minutes, and then, ur system will be again rfs.
U should then go to recovery, and restore without any previous wipes your stock nandroid backup.
When the restoring has ended, reboot normally ur phone and u will have ur stcok rom as like as u did ur backup.
Enjoy!!
(i 've used it several times, last time yerterday night, i have proved it on Ks5 ks9)

Backing up the Note if not rooted

Stock rom and everything, looking to get the ICS from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729694
First you install the CWM recovery by installing Odin on your PC, then sending the recovery kernel to your phone.
Second you use the CWM recovery in your phone to back up the entire phone image.
Third you flash the rom. You can use CWM to flash or you use the 1click from your PC.

[Q] How can I backup/restore ENTIRE phone?

Hello.
I'd like to give MIUI a try, but, of course, I'd also like to switch back to my stock ROM if things go wrong or if I don't like MIUI.
How can I backup my entire phone (rooting, Recovery Mode capability and other on-power key-combination-activated features etc etc) and 100% failsafe restore it at any time?
Thanks in advance.
Rooted stock = do a nandroid (CWM) backup which is essentially an 'image' of the phone at the time you make the backup. Try MIUI; don't like it ? Restore the nandroid you took of your rooted stock setup. Sorted (You will need to ensure you backup the contents of your external SD card separately if you have one).
Be careful you don't 'overthink' this, it's really very simple both ways (backup/restore).
My Recovery Mode doesn't have a backup option

Thanks for prompt response. I took a look at current Recovery Mode menu and it doesn't include a backup/restore option like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery. It shows only the above:
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
test redbend fota[FS]

I've already downloaded Recovery from clockworkmod.com but didn't do anything with it yet.
Sorry if it has already been detailed in another thread, but I didn't find it and I don't know how to make such nandroid backup.
Thanks.
OBackup
I've just downloaded OBackup app from Play store and am doing my backup.
My question is: after I flash MIUI, what are the tools/steps I'll need to restore my backup?
Thank you very much.
That's the stock Android recovery.
OK...
What you need to do is not install CWM separately. That will only persist until you reboot & is designed to allow you to flash whatever rom/kernel you want which will have it's own version of CWM baked into the kernel.
That backup program you're using; no idea as I've never used it.
What I recommend you do is find a custom kernel you like (actually, any custom kernel will do given you're going to flash Miui) which will have CWM. Flash that into your stock setup, then make a nandroid (CWM) backup of your stock setup so you can go back to it if you don't like Miui/whatever else you try (If you restored this & wanted to go back completely stock/unrooted/etc, all you'd need to do is flash a stock kernel). This is what you asked for in your OP. I warned you not to start overcomplicating things, and this is exactly what you're doing.
The kernel supplied with Miui should have CWM, so if you find you don't like it, you should be able to simply restore the backup you made of your stock setup in CWRecovery.
I also very strongly recommend you learn 'the basics' as you seem to be lacking in this knowledge. Flashing stuff/etc without knowing these things leads to busted phones. Read the tutorials/guides stickied near the top of the General section; there's a wealth of information in those.

I've try to do a restore of my sock rom from recovery but it's says to me that there is an error on md5 check sum...
I've install the RootBox ROM in my gt-i9100...but I can't come back to sock from recovery because the stock kernel dosen't work with RootBox's Kernel...

You can't restore your backup because of a different MD5 SUM which means that your backup has been corrupted.
Flashing a stock ROM or Kernel via ODIN will not increase your flash counter.
Flash NeatROM Lite, this is the best ROM ever, it like stock with additional things.

You can't flash a stock ROM from recovery by changing .tar.md5 to .zip .
You want to change ROM to Stock, use Mobile Odin to flash a Stock ROM or Flash NeatROM v4.8 Lite.

[Q] How to reinstall Stock ROM on LG Optimus p765?

I have an Optimus L9, p765. I am currently running CM 10.2 (the one made for p760).
I want to reinstall the stock ROM. How can I do that? Is there a simple way to flash it like I flashed the CM zip file?
[By stock ROM I mean the official JB rom by LG. I have its kdz file with me.]
Thanks in advance!

If you want to go back to true stock, like when you purchase the phone then you will have to flash the kdz to the phone. Otherwise the only other option is to just flash a stock nandroid backup to the phone, but it will still have a custom recovery and root.

Hello Aravind,
What IS a Nandroid? It is a full backup of the partitions on your device’s NAND flash (NAND actually stands for NOT AND, which in simple terms means an electronic gate). Basically a backup of your phones hard drive if you will... The Nandroid backup is a snapshot of your device (it means everything on your phone – your apps, data, your current ROM and even the kernel is backed up) at the time you do the back up. If you restore the backup, it changes your phone BACK to that state. You will need clockworkmod (CWM). So make sure prior to this you have CWM on your device. (The above explanation is given by VECTUS)
Here is the link to Nandroid Backups Thread for L9. Download and extract Nandroid Backup of Stock Rom V20A Bhaarat (India) uploaded by me for our Indian L9 P765 to cwm backup folder and reboot to recovery restore this backup.
If you are having trouble in restoring it, then you can message me on my FB ID for an instant reply :good:

Lg L90 TWRP Help

Sigh
So Yet Again im back with a new thread . I actaully bricked my phone and im now getting a replacement LG L90 from T-Mobile that should arrive by tomorrow . After experementing with the L90 i got to the point up to were i flashed TWRP and was able to use the custom recovery . I actaully couldn't find the Xposed zip file for some reason . I tried doing a master reset since i got into a bootloop . And since i dont know much i just decided to go to T-Mobile , Okay so im getting my replacement phone tomorrow .
So What?
Well I was actually asking myself why I couldn't find the Xposed zip file in TWRP . Since you know you need to flash the zip file on lollipop . Okay so im going to attempt to do it again on the new replacement im getting but what is it that I need to do or adjust in order to actually make the zip file appear ? In case of ANOTHER bootloop how do i do a Factory Reset ? Since TRWP did not let me . Did I flash the wrong TWRP.img ?
First of all, once you go to TRWP make a backup
OK, now to flash the xposed.zip just click install and search for the zip, is it on ypur SD card? Did you download it with your phone?
Btw are you using a custom ROM?

No I don't have a custom ROM & what are benefits of making the backup ? Also how do you move the zip to the sdcard ? will I have another bootloop when I flash the xposed zip ?
Well the backup you make at TWRP allows you to restore your phone to the way it was when you backed up, I'm talking about system, apps, data, preferences, everything. So if something goes wrong, it can be reverted
It will work as a factory reset but better
There's also a thread in the forum with a flashable stock-rom a.k.a factory reset
Just use file manager and move it to the SDcard or connect you phone to your pc and place the zip on the sdcard.
About xposed I don't think you'll have trouble, installed on my phone today and seems working fine, I can help you with the procedure
What L90 do you have? d405 d410 d415?
Settings->About phone->model
