Hi all...is it possible to backup my current rom? If so, how?
Thanks
when you boot into clockworkmod you can do a backup there. i think it makes a backup of everything and then you can restore using the clockworkmod...

Thanks. Sounds easy enough. Will give that a try now
I don't think this belongs in the development section.

Greetings XDA-World.
Well, Firstly, id like to mention that today is my first day as a registered member of xda. And Yeah, im just 15 so you can call me a noob or inexperienced, i dont mind.
Well Anyway, before i flashed CyanogenMod 7.2 RCO by vo-1, I took two backups of the original stock firmware, one using CWM 4.0.0.9 and the other using CWM 5.0.2.6. However, i decided to go back on stock using the backups but failed, and my Ace is stuck on bootloops. If someone could help me get these backups to work, i would be really grateful.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Admins im sorry ive posted in the wrong place or wrong method ot whatsoever, im a newbie]
Thanks,
UsmanJ

You cannot restore Stock ROM's backups using CWM. If your stock rom was on ext4 filesystem then it could have been possible. But, I think you made a backup of a stock ROM and not a custom ROM based on Stock ROM. Lol, a bit confusing but you cant restore that backup as far as my experience says.

Thanks brother. Yes, i could guess that because most custom rom format the system partition as ext4 because it occupies less place. Isnt it possible that we format the System partition in a way tht is supports the initial backup?
Sorry if im too newb.

Ney. Cuz the original backup was taken on a rfs filesystem. You can try one thing. Flash stock rom via odin, root your ace, install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.6 and then try restoring that backup. Not really sure if this will help but there's no harm in trying

You can flash any other country's firmware. I live in India and I am using Netherlands' firmware now and I dont have any problem.

OK did you rename your backup? If yes, did you put any spaces in the name?

Look for the stock rom and flash from there its not recommend to restore from someone else's backup ur guaranteed a brick and paperweight device
And it would be better if we had a model # and carrier to find a stock ROM for u

I doubt someone will send you that data because its there content and what I explained earlier about bricking your device still apply
Not a good idea
I do not know why you are asking for this, if you are trying to get the stock ROM you can find it on sammobile.com, We can help you better if you explain us what's the problem.
Or just flash a Rom in recovery man. No one is going to give you a cwm backup considering all of their private information would come with it.
