If you have Amon Ra installed, you can backup your current ROM. Then once you flash a new one if you don't like it or make a boo-boo you can restore your backup and it will be like you never left.

Yes, and check the instructions on the first post of the current recovery image thread for your specific device. All that you need is contained there.
I have a question whether it's possible to backup the original kernel before to flash a modded one, so that i can go a step back if i have problems. I can backup the whole ROM in Recovery that is also a solution, but maybe there is a chance to backup only the needed stuff and not the whole ROM.
As far as I know you can only backup your kernel by backing up your entire rom

At least in Version 2.2.1 of the Thunderg Custom Recovery (search the developers section) from getitnowmarketing it is possible to selectively backup only the kernel.
If the kernel to be saved is part of a stock ROM it can also be extracted from the ROM using the android kitchen... although this is much more complex.

why you need to do that? if something happened, just go into recovery and reflash the last good one.

you can save/put the kernel (as the original flashable zip file) on your sdcard.
Hi ,
I have a galaxy sII i9100g And i Flashed a kernel i went into cwm and Backed up the stock rom So if i flash a rom can i restore the stock rom's Backup ik i can do it with custom roms i dont know if i can with Custom ROms so yeah Please Andser
you can backup/restore both stock/ custom roms, the default will restore the whole backup replcaing the existing one, you can make advanced restore to restore specific backup.
well i restore many times if iam not happy wiv the custum rom so yes u can restore back but hav a proper backup and don wipe the whole phone as the backup goes off sometimes.

Yea you can restore your stock rom any time with Cwm recovery. As long as you have cwm recovery in your new custom rom you can acess your backups. So be sure you flash cwm recovery on your custom rom btw most of rom's come with cwm so you don't have to worry if not you can flash cwm recovery from odin too. Just search on google about cwm touch
Hope it helped you.
Thanks me i my words are helpfull.
Thanks You All cuz im not happy with this rom i wanted to go back..thanks again

As far as my expereriance, after restoring a ROM form your backup it is always a good idea to wipe Cache and dalvik cache befor rebooting. (not the factory reset..that will wipe your applications this you do before restoring only)
how will you restore to stock via CWM if CWM is via a rooted kernel .
It will be a non stock kernel .

I think here everybody meant by "Stock" is the first ROM which was there in the phone..no matter its rooted with a custom kernel.....

But its not original and voids warranty if restored was my point .
Far easier to grab a download of the original rom .
OP did say stock rom and not custom rom so the answer is as always not via CWM its no longer a stock rom once rooted .

Yeah, just unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP since it's more touch orientated (designed better) than ClockworkMod. Then download a ROM and follow instructions.
For those that have flashed Int. ROMs and have TWRP, did you use dumlock or flash the boot.img in fastboot? If anyone has used dumlock, can you write up how you used to get a good flash? I am coming from Sammy, so all of this is very new to me and I am trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks.

So you just flashed in recovery like normal? Nothing else?
This phone is super confusing, keep reading about flashing a boot.img before flashing a ROM or using dumlock. Can not find a straight answer to what I need to do to go from rooted stock to a ROM.

As usual HTC left off some security on the released version of this phone's HBOOT.
The One X on AT&T was like this too when it first came out. We could even flash RADIOS on that thing.
I am pretty sure the discovery that you can flash boot.img from recovery is pretty new.

So how can we backup stock kernel? I want to know too.
Flashify can do that.
TWRP has option to backup boot partition, but haven't used that, so can't tell if this backup contains kernel, maybe somebody can tell this.

I didn't back up the stock kernel. So, if I flash a stock rom through TWRP will that get me back on Stock Kernel?
Yes, if You are on that same ROM right now.
