So if we install one ROM, set it up to our liking and then do a Nandroid backup with CWR can we reload that rom later on to exactly how was? I'd like to install UnNamed Rom and the install PhoneBricker Rom, and if I don't like PhoneBricker can I restore to UnNamed Rom and will it restore exactly how I left it?
Yes, exactly as you left it. The only things(I think) a nandroid restore won't touch are the contents of the SD cards, and the modem.
I believe it does everything but your SD content, because every time I swap ROMs back and forth all I have to is restore and I am good to go. No need to install a modem.
Wiping the phone won't wipe the sd card or internal storage would it? So if you flash a rom with bad radios and then install a rom with good radios and restore to the bad one you'll keep the good radios or whatever modem was previously on the phone?
When you are in CWR and do a wipe it doesn't mess with your SD content, just your system file if I am correct. As far as radio/modems go, if that is the problem with the ROM, you should be able to flash a different modem from the list on the sticky just fine.
Yeah, you don't need to worry about modems. Once you have CWM, changing modems isn't much more trouble than changing wallpapers.

I've only flashed roms a couple of times so I'm pretty new to this. Have no plans to flash modems as the roms I want don't have any problems with signal.

I've never had issues flashing modems in cwm, FWIW. There is a thread in dev. section with all the i777 modems linked in the OP. There are different CWM flashables depending on whether you are on AOSP base or Samsung base. I have only used these on Sammy based ROMs, but have been through 4 different modems with no issues.

I've used the flashable zips from the earlier post and tried each and every one without a problem flashing with CWM - if you use jivy's kernel cleaning script (or clear cache and dalvik) before each flash, you shouldn't have any problems.
If you don't clear cache and dalvik, you probably would have problems.

I have galaxy sii GT-I9100 and I want to revert back to stock so i can cleanly install the new RR rom. Any help would be awesome. I was quite knowledgable with my old samsung infuse 4g, but this phone is a lot more complex than that one so please simple terms if possible
If you go to samfirmware download your desired rom then flash it in odin via the PDA section. This will return your phone to stock, but you will loose root. All the best.

If you want a fresh start just format system whilst performing your wipes. Only do this with a safe kernel as anything based on stock 4.0.4 will brick your phone. When I ever change ROMs I just run wipes and format system then flash my chosen rom. That is the correct site and you can flash any rom for your phone regardless of region. EFS back up is a separate tool which you download on to your pc which then backs up the EFS folder. There are other apps that do this too. I use them all, can never have too many copies of it.

So if I just do all the wipes, it should be all good? There is a lot of files that I don't want if they don't belong to my rom, should I delete some or what should I do? The basic thing I am trying to do is only have files from apps that I have and ones that the rom needs.

I understand what you're after factory reset, wipe dalvik and format system will give you a clean installation in terms of rom. If it's a complete wipe you can wipe the sd card from setting /backup and reset. But this will wipe music photos too. Once rooted you can always browse the directories and manually delete any unwanted files/folders. Please check your kernel first.

How to stock > custom rom > 100% same stock?
Hello,
did not want to start new thread with same name, but my question a little different.
So I bought S2 and I would like to play with some custom ROM of course. Not my first Android phone, but new phone new unknown things.
I read many post, but it is still not clear if I can make my stock rom and kernel backup, then root it, have some fun and if I need just restore stock rom and kernel and every thing would be as it was new?
I understand how to root and this CF-Root in Stock Recovery method looks like can do this. But will it be that way?
For example, with this method I have my stock kernel backup, also make stock rom backup, install some custom ROMs/kernels and later just install stock rom and restore stock kernel using this method and I am back to starting point?
Hi, to return your phone to stock all you need to do is:
Make note of your current ROM and download the same from samfirmware
Download Odin
Perform full wipes and format system in recovery mode
Then into download mode where you flash the stock ROM in the PDA section of doing.
Included will be a stock kernel and root would have been lost.
To reset binary counter look at the app triangle away by chain fire.
All the best.

To restore a back up:
Boot into recovery mode
In recovery mode enter back up and restored menu
Then select restore from external memory / sd card
Phone will restore to the time the back up was made.
Some kernels have different CWM menu layouts but the above should get you to the Nandroid backup you made.
All the best

So here is the problem, i flashed the jeallybean leak rom. Then decided to go back to 10.1 so i fully wiped and flashed 10.1 but since i have done so, i have no data connection on my phone. I have the correct APN but it doesn't try to connect.
Did the leaked jeallybean rom mess up the phone? I notice now the serial number is listed as "unknown" could this prevent the phone from connecting ?
I tested my sim in another phone and it was fine, so just no data on my phone regardless of what sim/apn i use. So something is wrong
I had some data problems after trying the jb leak. I just decided to go for a clean install, flashed a stock 4.0.3 rom, made all wipes and reflashed a custom rom.

If you already have a backup of previous 10.1 just restore it now, no need to flash CM9.
Also try flashing new modem.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the jb leak has some kind of different layout with regards to using the preload folder and doesn't like you changing modems/rils etc. I'd had enough trying to sort it out so by flashing a stock rom I knew the preload/modem etc would be sorted (at the same time I backed up by the important data from my internal and external sds and formatted them to clear out some of the crap I had lying about from all my old custom roms.) My phone is working better than ever now

Well, I flashed a clean CM9 and leaving the same modem and APN and the data worked. Nothing is different in CM10.1 with my settings , so it has to be something going on with CM10.1 . I installed it clean after i wiped the jeallybean leak
U must change your modem to ur country modem

Try Odin to stock and start from scratch. A lot of work but hey what do you have to lose. :beer:

First find a compatible Kernel for the AOSP ROM your trying to flash. Flash that Kernel.
Second, after the flashing is done, reformat the device; cache, dalkiv cache and system and system settings.
Third, reboot into recovery mode from the recovery menu itself.
Fourth, flash the kernel one more time.
Fifth, flash the AOSP ROM of your choice.
Sixth, reboot back into recovery menu.
Seventh, reformat once more.
Eigth, reboot the device.
As you should know, the first boot up after flashing a ROM takes the longest. Give it like a minute or two.
If this doesn't work, you have to flash a kernel that was compatible with the "cooked" rom you were using. Then from there do a reformat from the recovery menu. Once reformat is done, flash the AOSP kernel, then flash the AOSP ROM right after. Then reformat once more and reboot as normal.
If that doesn't work, flash compatible kernel with the "cooked" ROM your using now and also relay the cooked ROM, and then use Odin to bring it back to stock un-rooted. From there, do as you wish.

That is exactly what needed to be done. Mr cook actually has another thread with cwm flashable wipe scripts that would have done that. Quite handy :thumbup:
Hi there,
My SIII i9300 has been rooted and flashed with CM from CM 10.x to 11.x. Hoewever, recently it started to not give any audio during voice calls trough the normal mic. Speakers do work.
So, i've tried reflashing, clearing cache / dalvik etc. To no avail.
I then tried stock rom and for some reason this seems to do the trick.
As i'm not really a great fan of the Samsung bloatware and the 'awesome' skin overlay of samsung i would like to fix this issue.
I also tried some different roms to no avail. ( Also, i installed cm 10.2 because that used to be working fine)
I then tried installing different modems via CWM and ODIN. (BUELK1) and (CEEL1). It's a dutch phone on vodafone.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Btw, currently i'm running CM 11 nightly see below. Android 4.4.2
My baceband is currently i9300CEELL1
Kernel version 3.0.64-CM-gb1c5066
CM 11-20140228

Try installing the ROM before wiping everything, including System ( data is recommended, as long as you don't have something important not backed up). And with 4.4 try to use MK6 modem or higher.

I thought you found the modems on www.boeffla-kernel.de . You can find them in the Download section. Also, if you are on CM11 (or any other ROM actually), you should download the ROM tog want to flash on your external SD Card, reboot into recovery, wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and data, flash the ROM, reboot system and use it for a few moments at least ( I would recommend you do that so that you won't get bootloop). Then, reboot into download mode, connect phone to Odin and flash the ROM. I would recommend wipe shading cache and dalvik cache, just for a flawless experience.

The roms were flashed OK, double triple quadruple wiping probably wont make any difference.
The weird thing is that with CM installed there seems to be a hardware issue, when we flash the phone back to stock, everything works. I guess the developers will say "logcat or it didn't happen"....

So I had originally had TWRP/Hyperdrive on my phone, and switched to CWM/Cyanogenmod. I noticed now that I seem to have two different recoveries on my phone, because if I hold up+home+power I can go to a different version of CWM Recovery than if I use the Rom Manager app to boot into recovery. How would I rectify this? Would it involve wiping the /boot partition? I don't know where/how recoveries are stored so I don't understand how I can have two.
Doing a fresh install of a ROM has not resolved this by the way. And actually currently, I can't hold the buttons and boot into recovery at all, it gets stuck on the Samsung logo. I can only get into recovery via Rom Manager or Reboot options if I'm in android.

And as far as installing kennels I've never had an issue myself. The last link you posted is about flashing the md2 kernel in order to root the phone. Do you mean that?? Or installing say a KToonsez kernel after you're already rooted and have your custom recovery?

As in installing a KT kernel after rooting and having a custom recovery and ROM on my phone. Right now I have three 3/22 nightly cyanogen up and running but as soon as I install kt it trips the Verizon security and on have to flash back to stock kernel to use my phone. Booting into Odin and canceling out to restart does not let me get past the yellow triangle
