Can you, or should you do a NANDROID (CWM) backup between different devices?
I broke the screen on my month old SGSII (Yes, it can be done), I got the replacement already, but I just want to know if it's wise to restore from an image...Are there Unique Device ID's or something similair that would identify the device/cause problems?

Thanks Pirate. I'm hoping a dev can confirm (not that I don't trust you) Nandroid backup is taking a while anyway...Shouldn't have disabled the status bars

Just erring on the side of caution.
I had to swap my first GSII and I had no issues at all restoring my backup once I was rooted with CWM installed.

when you get to a computer and read the thread it will make more sense....or you can click on my name and see that i have a title here of 'Recognized Developer'
It's a trap!
Just kidding. Like each of the individuals that have responded have stated, as long as you're restoring on the same kind of device you won't run into any hiccups. The information that is backed up isn't device specific to that extent.

Hi
I forgot my pattern and my phone is locked now, and asking for gmail account details. I put my details in (with @gmail.com and without) but it doesn't work!
What should i do?!
thanks
It doesn't work? As in, you don't have internet on your phone? Is your phone rooted? The only thing I can think of is flashing a new firmware.

I do have internet on the phone. Its a known bug which have many solutions on the web but none of them works.. and no, my phone is not rooted.
I'm trying to find a solution without rooting or wiping data..
please help.. my phone is bricked..
bump
It's bricked now or are you trying to get attention? Just wipe it. It's an easy way out.
If all else fails, you could always contact a Samsung service centre, as long as you can provide proof of purchase I'm sure they should be able to unlock it.

I guess the "brick" have a different meaning for the two of us.
I didnt want to wipe it, its my sister's phone and she had important stuff.
Anyway, she found out she was trying the wrong username the whole time.

What other rom would you want to flash? There's only like... lemme count.... two (QuikSense and BeastMod).
But to answer your question, just wipe by recovery if the rom doesn't do it for you.
In most cases you don't need to wipe anyway.

making a thread for everything is pointless when the additions can be made to threads already made, that's the whole point of encouraging people to comment in the proper thread instead of making a new one.
@jjc5891 your post is good if you want to do either of those things individually but if you want to go completely back to stock is easier to just use the odin file from da_g in case of brick.
Ok, here is a riddle to solve for ya:
Theft protection software is crucial these days on every smartphone and chosing the right one is not really easy. I've only been using SeekDroid and have been thinking about trying Prey so far, but while I read an article about Theft Aware functioning beyond factory reset of the phone, this riddle came to my mind:
What if the phone gets stolen by someone knowing how to flash a new ROM or read about it? I've got 4EXT (always latest version) installed - is there some software that integrates into recovery and cannot be deleted without the correct code or something?
Oh, and before you answer: Keep stuff like "naa dude, that'll never happen" to yourself. Thanks.
You can try avast it writes its own partition so a factory reset or flashing a Rom won't work check it out

Thanks. Where does it write this partition?
Is it undeletable even through recovery?
Try cerberus. Amazing anti-theft. And to answer your question, nothing is safe from a standard/CWM recovery. It can wipe anything. TWRP supposedly has a recovery either just finished or in the works which is encrypted and requires a password to use, but I don't know for sure.
As for avast, I'm fairly sure it doesn't write a new partition. It just installs it to system.
I'm using avast, seems ok at the moment, not needed to use the anti theft yet.
Adding a pin code to 4ext recovery would be an awesome idea! Perhaps its possible to do?

Because they're honest. I'm pretty sure ANY anti-theft app can be un installed by flashing a ROM (more specifically by wiping data and system). Only by locking your bootloader and recovery can this be gotten around.
Here's a discussion in another thread with ideas hashed out. Should help us by giving ideas. http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/29233-Lost-/-Stolen-Phone-apps:-the-best-of-the-best

Thanks. Root Defense seems to survive a full wipe, but what I'm looking for is a software that even survives a ROM reflash and is not erasable through recovery without some code or pattern..

Dear Mr. Kameirus, thank you so much for posting this useful contribution. My sensors have detected a slight raise of your body temperature and a minimal change of your voice tonality, which leads me to the question if you might be emotionally overwhelmed by my complicated question above. But at least you are smart enough and have the balls to throw out a "yo homie, use the search button". Here, take your cookie.
Avast! can survive a Cyanogenmod flash. But I think that's as close as we're going to get at the moment.

Hi
where can i find the ATT Stock recovery ? i need it to exchange my phone .

Most people just unroot and return. It's the best way it seems. They don't even check the recovery per others statements
