Don't you mean he wants to restore to 2.3.3? We need some more information for that Like are you rooted?

Firstly, this is the questions form so no need to put silly titles like "A question please", we know its a question. Titles are supposed to be descriptive of the topic.
Second, Give more information on what you/he has done and what you want to achieve.
..I'll take it you mean "restore" not "backup". If yes then you simply boot into CWM and restore the backup your "brother" made. If he didnt make a CWM backup then obviously you cant restore it, You will need to do a fresh instal or a GB rom. If you need to do a fresh install dont ask, go and read.

if he has already installed 4.0.3 , then there is no way to backup 2.3.3
if not you have 2 choice,
1. backup all the settings,apps+ data via titanium backup
2. Root your device, enter cwm and make a full nandroid backup

2.3.3

Thank you, but please if you 'cause i'm new here !, could you explain the second step ?

OOOOOh again confusion...
if he is currently on 2.3.3, He has to root and install CWM, this can be done just flashing a kernel (CF-root see my sig) from ODIN, then from CWM he can backup his complete ROM,
with Titanium backup from market he can backup all his applications and data.
gude for flashing from ODIN, getting Downloadmod, recovery mod are in my signature

well all the instructions were already there in stickies, any way
1. find the current rom version of 2.3.3
2. find the matching cf root from the below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
3.flash the cf root via odin and now you will have cwm.
4. Reboot your phone , now you will have an app called cwm in you launcher.
5. enter the app and select reboot into clockworkmod.
6. make a backup

Non-English natives gonna non-English native.
Just find the ROM you want and flash it through CWM. Am I missing something?

Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware (21/12/2010) | rooted | for xRecovery + X10flasher

Hi guys, here's the latest firmware by SE. Since it's not possible to root it with any known method, I prepared update.zip to be flashed with xRecovery
The firmware comes pre-rooted, with busybox and xRecovery pre-installed.
You need rooted 2.1 rom with xRecovery working to install this firmware!
If you already flashed the latest firmware with SEUS, please downgrade OR root it using THIS thread.​
1. Download and unpack the file. It contains 2 files: update.zip and 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar.bz2
2. Copy update.zip to SD Card
3. Boot into xRecovery and install update.zip
4. Turn off phone / remove battery
5. Unpack the 2.0.2.A.0.24_for_X10-flasher.tar.bz2 and flash the SIN files with X10-flasher
6. Enjoy!
Make sure you understand the installation process before you try!
Download: 2.0.2.A.0.24-rooted-zdz.tar.bz2
If you don't have loader.sin, please find it here (thanks pedrocel85)

Hey guy first of all I wish a Merry Christmas to all this amazing XDA community....
In topic: I'm assuming that the improvements of this new release are related to the /system folder so could it be possible to flash this new version and after that do a restore of my backup of the /data folder only using xrecovery?? It's just a thought so I don't loose my apps and stuff and I will not have to re do my titanium back up all over again.....

There is also a new kernel and baseband (see step 5). To be honest, restoring backup with xRecovery will work, but I'd also recommend backing up with Titanium (to be 100% safe).
ok so ive figured it out but the files dont have a loader.sin so i cant continue with the flasher!!!!

Yep. That line has me a tad confused too.
That means that zip can be flashed just by booting into xRecovery, and of one doesn't have xRecovery, then they can simply extract the files and flash using the Flash Tool - right?
yea im also confused by step 5.
Is it possible to install JIT?
If yes, I might try it soon.
I cant install xrecovery, already have the latest FW force closes, assuming it needs root already to install?

Correct ^
Cheers,

any other options, pone isnt found with x10 flasher in flash mode but fine in SEUS, so cant even get back to generic old 2.1
Probably stupid question, sorry if it is (had no experience in recovery before), but if I install this FW, would my apps/settings remain, or will it make my phone cleared?
I'd lile to know that, too.

Yes you can,
Just install CWM, reboot into recovery, go into backup & restore,
Make a backup of your current stable ROM and install CyanogenMod 7, which you can see the tutorial o the development thread.
Here is the link for the Stock Rom of GT-I5503 , in case that you want to reflash your original Rom back:

One word of advice, don't rush. When you're flashing a rom for the first time, you've got to be careful. Read and reread all the instructions and understand everything about the process before starting.

Ok so i have Android 2.3.3 so i think my baseband is ok, so after rooting and doing that custom recovery what i do next?and when telling me put a few instructions in thnx!
Help???
So what do we do next after rooting and etc.?
man, don't forget to backup your NV, to do that, go into LGMDP, connect to your mobile, go into Tools, and press in NV Backup. I forgot this and my phone doesn't gave me band signal, so i had to return it to the LG assistance.
When do u backup ur NV?Before rooting or after rooting or after clockwork method thingy?...

Actually since you are already on the correct baseband there is no need to backup your NV

[Q] need someone who can help me !

hello guys ! I followed some tutorial and made everything exactly as told, I had recently update to 4.0.4 and now when I did the unlock bootloader, Installing CWM and Rooting for 6.0.B.1.564 firmware and when comming to tutorial number 3 called "Official Firmwares flash by Flashtool" , I downloaded it and there was 2 files which was impossible to drag to the flashtool screen So I skipped it. I found something else on the forum called prerooted system and I flashed it over and now I am back to 2.3.7, did I manage to do something? If you would help me I could pay you for helping me! btw, I am new on this fields, so yeah I am n00b on this :<
thanks in advance,
mtony
you updated to ICS then youve flashed the prerooted 2.3.7 thats why youre back on gingerbread. im assuming you did right on unlocking your bootloader.
you just need to flash any ICS stock firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
then after flashig, install any custom kernel you like to try,
since your new i want you to try the advanced ics kernel first,
look @ my signature theres a link for advanced ics,also the other kernel.

[Q] Can anybody help me ! ?

hey guys.. am still new to the world of ANDROID.. so i need some help please..
i wanted to update my GB Samsung Galaxy SII rom to the ICS rom.. so i wanted to start by rooting..
i rooted my phone and everything went okay and i also removed the Yellow Triangle..
my problem is.. now i want to flash a new rom to my S2..
i booted into recovery mode..
1st problem is that i didn't find a "Backup & Recovery" option as i saw in many videos..
the main problem is that i wiped the cash and the user data
but when i clicked on apply * from sdcard !!
and choosed the rom i've downloaded.. it didn't work.. i had an error saying that E: Signature Verification Failed
so.. and when i wanted to do a recovery using the CWM app.. i didn't find the backup and recovery option
if you have acsess to download mode, then reroot your phone, then you will gain acsess again to recovery & backup.

Sorry, I didn't express myself correctly. I meant you can reflash a stock unrooted firmware (kernel, rom) and then root it again.
okay guys.. am so sorry for the mistake i've made.. my probles was that i was going to the reboot mode using the cwm.. not the up-home-power buttons..
i told you am still new .. i thought they are the same .. anyway...
i recovered the rom with all the apps and everything is okay now.. but
the question is why i can't flash that rom ?? .. even with the right recovery mod it's still doesn't want to be flashed. ??
could it be because of the version of the rom ! ??
and is there a way to know what rom can i flash ??
and i also have a problem.. it's that the samsung kies isn't supporting my device.. i used it once and after rooting my cell it doesnt want to work again.. ??

First off you don't need to be rooted to up grade your firmware. The best source for firmwares is Samfirmware.com where you download a tar. file then flash it in the PDA section of odin. Please read the sticky threads in this forum as there is loads of good advice and guides from expert users. All the best.

Thank you all guys.. i flashed the ICS 4.0.4 firmware to my Galaxy S2 I9100.. and everything is okay..
now i am wondering how to root it ?
is it the same way for the GB?
actually i tried the same way but when i flashed the CF Root --LPH my phone died !! .. i mean it begin restarting every time i turn it on..
my Baseband version is I9100XXLQ6
and the kernal version is I900JPLPH
please send me a link that works..
There are a couple of methods to root. If you only want to root and not bother with custom ROMs, kernels and the like, use Rachmat3's temporary cwm to get root. Search for it.
If you wanna install custom ROMs, you could install a the TAR version of a custom kernel like siyah or dorimanx via Odin. Steps on how to do so can again be found with a simple search.

This should do,
1) Backup everything
2) Install Siyah Kernel (latest: http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?p=1536) using Odin (tar file)
3) Now you are rooted with Siyah Kernel and a CWM based recovery
4) You can then install any ROM/Kernel of your choice (if you need)
But "Search" - There are countless threads
thanks alooott
i really dunno how to thank you guys.. everything is working now as i want it to be.. thank you all guys ..
if i need some more advanced help who should i ask.. things more like programming
because,
i am 3rd year student and i am studying Communication and Computer Networks engineering.. and i am thinking about doing a programing project..
so if any one can help me.. i'll be so thankful ..
again thank you all guys
Do you have disabled the signature verification in recovery before flashing the rom?? Try this and see...
