Hey people !
I just want to ask a quick question. When you do a backup on xRecovery or CWM, does it backup the kernel too ?
So, if yes, it means that whatever you install after your backup, you won't need to flash the kernel again with flashtool (i mean, using a computer) right ?
And, if no, I suppose it means that if I want to restore a backup, I have to reflash the old kernel (or a compatible one) ?
(I'm asking this because I want to try the CyanogenMod 9 (Android 4.0.3) which seems to be good enough. But I'm currently on MIUI 4.0 (2.3.7), so if it goes wrong with CMod ...)
Thanks !

Sorry to say but on our phones no it does not... you have to flash kernel separately.
on alot of other devices tho this is not the case just an FYI.

Erf, too bad :/

I have an LG Optimus One running 2.2.2 latest firmware V10e. Recently, I rooted my device and installed ClockWorkMod Recovery and the Lagfix+OC Kernel by der_caverman. I am using the Stock ROM with that Kernel.
My question is when the official Gingerbread Update comes out by LG, will I be able to update it with the official LG software updater or will it not work because I have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed.
If not, how can I remove ClockWorkMod Recovery get my original Recovery Back???
any help would be appreciated!

If the phone is just 'rooted' and no custom ROM, would one need to follow the above steps before upgrading? Thanks

nope. you can upgrade at any time if u are staying with ur oem rom even if u are rooted. only thing is that u will lose ur root previllage after the update.
its alwayes advisable to have a custom recovery and custom rom. cause it can take nandroid backups(will save your day if anything goes wrong)

Can you please tell me can I upgrade without doing anything??? I have rooted my phone and installed AmonRa recovery, and I'm on stock rom 2.2.2 10e (I have just flashed some framework that I made on UOT kitchen).

it is risky since you have changed the frame work.if i were you i will do the following.
1)unroot the phone( if u have used gingerbreak use the same to unroot)
2)down load the original recovery from http://www.megaupload.com/?f=XGKNWZQJ and flash. thus u can getrid of amonra and get back original p500 recovery
3)reboot and hard reset and upgrade.
4) since u are now on original recovery and in unrooted condition if any thing goes wrong u can claim warrenty.
let me ask u why u need an upgrade? to get lot of crapwares? or to get amere 600mhz kernal? or to get a laggy phone with mere 60 mb of internal storage space to install all ur apps? or to have adds on every apps?

its stable,beautiful,oced and updated gingerbread.
Thanks for your answer!
And I understand you when you ask me why do I need official update, because I agree that official rom = creap And thats why the first thing that I have done when I rooted my phone was to uninstall all the bloatware from it
I will for sure flash miks rom when he base it on official gingerbread, and if I have a little time for weekend current mod that you recommended (I only hesitate because of the bugs - I know there are just a couple of them, but...). I tried yesterday francos kernel v151, but I'm experiencing color bending in lower half of a screen with it...

ya its up to you to decide...and i agree with u absolutly.but i aint had any problems with mik's 6.5.2(not using francos ker cause some error with cpu freq settings, u have to use setcpu).
Just one more question - when you said:
2)down load the original recovery from http://www.megaupload.com/?f=XGKNWZQJ and flash.

you mean to flash it from amonra recovery, right? (I know, it's a noob question, but better to be safe then sorry

yes its a flashable unsigned zip.but if u r using amonra to flash( cause it is unsigned) u have to uncheck the option "toggle signature verify" first.Amonra wont allow u to flash unsigned zips unless u do the above.
ps:if original recovery is flashed u will lose all the options in amonra and the only option will be the hard reset option.
there is a good how to section if u wish...

hey, if i backup my stock rom with xRecovery and install a custom one, then i will be able to restore my old rom back and make my x10 mini pro as it was before the flashing?
thanks in advance.
Yes, you'll just have to go back into xrec and use restore. But i'd use CWMrec which is more stable.
That is correct. I backed up mine using the Xrecovery before I started to play with custom roms. I already had numerous chances to restore it and it worked just fine.

thanks! is this guide good?

and also suggest me one rom witch is stable with dualtouch and without LOTS of bugs, something usable
I've used all Gingerbread roms and Paul's one seems to be more stable than the others but its kinda random... I've got bugs no one else has experienced So lucky...
and also, will xrecovery backup files working on CWM for restoring or i need to take a new backup?
CWM supports xrec backups
Yes normally it works, or you can do another backup with CMW before flashing custom rom
Put this in system/bin/ with root explorer and reboot. CWMrec will be installed. (only the system folder files)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PQF0B1Z0
CWM can generally be viewed as the new and improved xRecovery. This is not entirely correct, but in general terms it can be considered to be - especially when it comes to X10 ROM's. So yes, backups of stock ROM should work just fine as long as:
xRecovery backups can be restored in xRecovery and CWM.
CWM backups can only be restored in CWM.
Also please note you posted in the developent forum. What you asked is a general question, it's not about development
actually this is a great idea, you will avoid a lot of mishaps with roms that way

I have been around a lot of ROMs. They all kind of look the same CM6 or CM7.
But they do not feel the same. I have fallen for FroyoBread.
If you get into some trouble installing CWM, try this small TUT i made for manual install:
[TUT] Installing ClockworkMod Recovery for X10 Mini Pro on stock ROM
You may also want to look at this: [TUT] From stock ROM to custom ROM for n00bs (X10 mini pro)
Be sure, if your ROM needs an EXT-partition for Apps2SD or uses native Apps2SD. The ROM dev should include this info in the description for the ROM.
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.

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

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

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

Just find the ROM you want and flash it through CWM. Am I missing something?
Hello,
I searched for these informations, but I could not really find the right answers. So anyways, I have an Xperia Neo V and I want to flash a Custom ROM.
Here are my Questions:
- Can I do a Nandroid Backup of my current Setup (Bootloader still locked) and flash it back after unlocking the Bootloader (if I am not satisfied with any Custom Rom)?
- Why can't my CWM mount (and thus not backup) /sdext?
- What is the right way to flash CM 7.2? I just found some old solution with replacing some files from the CM from the Neo here. Does this work for every FXP release?
- How stable is CM 7.2? Is it ready for everyday use?
Thank you very much. Answers are appreciated.

1a) yes you can, but you need CWM(there is one for locked bl's) and of course root,
1b) if you unlock it officialy there is need to restore firmware(didn't try but people report that), if you unlock it unofficially(with s1tool) there is no need to restore anything,
2)ok now I see you already have CWM but still, sorry can't answer as I don't use sd-ext. What happens when you run full backup, and at the end of backup when it comes to backup-ing sd-ext?
3&4- sorry don't use it.

I get an error saying that /sdext cannot be mounted. Also I was wondering why CWM cannot format SD card. With my LG P500 CWM had this option, also mounting /sdext was no problem there.
