I'm using I9100G(Malaysia)
current : AndriodVer:2.3.6 BasebandVer:I9100GDZKI1 PDA:I9100GDZKJ2 KernelVer:[email protected]#2 BuildNo.:superROM#v2.0
objective to flash : wish to solve music's scratch problem
solve it by : change kernel and ROM
Question:
1.How to backup all the APK/game data/sms content on my original kernel and rom before flash it?(for install on new custom kernal and rom).
2. I'm doing CWM backup in the recovery mode(for safety)...if I restore it back, all data or just some of them will be restore back?(e.g apk/game data/sms content)
3. I wish to flash SuperROM3.1(from superRom2.0) and streetware kernel 0.4.3(from [email protected]#2) to solve it, what preparation and issue that i have to do or pay attention before flash it?, scare soft-brick(e.g. need to restore superROM 3.0 via CWM first before flash it to superROM3.1)...
4. Did superROM3.1 and streetware Kernel match? can put it togather? or have any suggestion for me?
5. [email protected]#2 is custom kernel? or officer?
6. my current basebandVer. and kernal, can flash the superROM3.1 and streetware Kernel directly?
7. Can i done it via CWM only?or need via Odin too??
8. Do i need to anythings on my firmware while/after flashing?
9. Why we need to wipe in recovery mode(e.g. wipe cache,wipe dalvik-cache)? Do it before or after flashing?
im nood in flashing phone, wish can simply explain how to use the CWM to flash correctly....will having any backside effect?
TQ very much

Im sorry, i din't found any app name"SMS app" via Titanium Backup...
may u suggest me, another way to backup sms content, thx ya
it is not another app you need, but just look a little more at the app list in titanium. depending on the language of your phone, the name might vary, but on a stock rom with english language os the entry you are looking for is:
"[sms/mms/apn]..."
of course sms app was just a hint and not the precise name.
also, this app is capable of backing up everything else you need, like pointed out, it is the simplest and most complete app for backups in preparation of changing roms.

Google search for others!!!
Nandroid backup is complete backup of your entire ROM image. You can do this once you intall a custom recovery like clockworkmod thro' ROM Manager app. In ROM Manager you can see an option 'Backup current ROM'!! Use it!!

Hi!
I want to get rid off some apks (see title) with titanium backup.
The problem is, that those apks are listed as service, so titanium backup only backups data and not the app itself. So there is no way to restore?
Is there a way to restore these pre- installed apps after deletion (maybe I change my mind ).
TIA,
Caveman
I'm sure Layar is avalible on the market, so is the CarHome. LG App advisor is crap so you can forget about it.
Copy the apk from /system/app. You can do this by mounting the system partition as read and write, then cp the apks to your sd card
So there is nothing other than the apk?
Why does titanium backup delete these apks without backing them up?
Thank you,
Caveman
By the way, I haven't tried this yet with a ROM that hasn't been deodexed. Backup both (.apk & .odex) just to be sure if you're in a stock rom.
Regarding titanium backup, I have no idea. I backed something up and uninstalled. When I tried to restore, it won't. The option is grayed out
EDIT: Just in case --> http://theandroidsite.com/2009/11/2...and-paid-android-applications-for-root-users/
Ok, thanks.
BTW: First attempt to restore stock rom (if I saw that titanium backup did not backup LG's "services" it was too late ) went bad (the phone stayed in "emergency mode")- that just increased my heart rate . The second attempt (without LG's modem drivers) went well
Thank you all!
Good luck with the stock ROM restoration Btw, I just want to suggest that you don't use KDZ flasher to restore to stock firmware. If you already have a custom recovery installed, just flash another ROM over the one you want to replace.

What do you mean? If you mean flashing the KDZ from the custom recovery, I don't think you can.
Here's a handy list of custom ROMs we have in the site (at least for the O1):

It sounded like you could flash stock rom with custom recovery...
I noticed that there are a lot of custom roms available
So, thank you again,
Caveman
Sorry about that. How I talk/write can be confusing at times xD But yes, you can install the stock ROM with custom recovery, just not the .kdz file. From that KDZ file you can create a zip to flash using custom recovery.
I think the main reason why people revert to stock firmware (ROM + stock recovery) is because they have to take it to a service center and they still have their warranty. Or if they badly need the factory stuff xD

Proceed to recovery and flash it a second time and it should work. It might have to do with the CWM version you were running earlier.

SuperROM is only for i9100G!! While CheckROM is only for i9100!! You need to reflash superROM! Or at least to restore a backup...

That means look under your battery. What does the label there say for model? If it says "GT-I9100G", then you have to be MUCH more selective on what you flash to your phone.

I've got a question about changing ROMs also. I'm currently on LeoMar75 Rom Revolution v2.4 and I'd like to change to the newest CheckROM.
From reading the thread, the process is:
Titanium backup
CWM backup
Get into the CWM recovery
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Install the wipe version of this ROM
My questions:
1. What does a titanium backup do?
2. What does a CWM backup do?
3. Where are the backup files stored? Do I need to copy these backup files to my computer?
4. What do I do after I've installed the new ROM? How do I restore my backups?
5. What do the backups actually restore? Will I automatically get all my apps back? Will I keep my user data (e.g. text messages, whatsapp logs, high scores in games, photos, etc)?
I've looked around a lot but and I can see a lot of people saying these same steps but I can't seem to find a description of what they actually do
I appreciate your time, thanks guys!

Differences between CWM backup aka Nandroid backup and Titaium Backup
First of all , Nandroid Backup is NOT an app. You will have an option of a FULL backup of your phone as it is condition at time of backup using a BACKUP choice in ClockworkMod recovery. Your backup here is often called a Nandroid backup . All your phone's data, apps, settings, roms, kernel etc is FULLY 100 % backup, Under this ClockworkMod recovery you will also have option to RESTORE 100 % the phone status
Titanium Backup is an APP which requires phone to be rooted. You can use TB to backup all your apps and its associated data. You ONLY can use TB in a working phone . You can't restore anything from TB if your phone crashes and cannot be rebooted. TB does not backup your kernel/roms.

Had a very bad experience when i upgrade rooted GB to stock ICS using wifi (w/o pc connection). During the 1 week of using ICS, my s2 got tons of issues, ie, no app works properly, battery drain faster, consum more ram etc.. worst, could not root! Eventually brought to samsung svc ctr to restore a brand new GB.. root the GB again & working well till now..
However i really want to explore the latest JB roms, in case of the flashed rom got any issues, i want to know how to restore to GB (backuped using 'CWM app') using CWM restore or anything else?
Which likes using Ghost to backup/restore a setup windows sys..
Phone details
Android v.: 2.3.6
Baseband v.: i9100DXKL1
Kernel v.: 2.6.35.7-I9100DXKL3-CL814876 [email protected]#2
Build No.: GINGERBREAD.DXKL3
Rooted with Current kernal: CF-Root 5.0
Can any1 also kindly advise me what are the important things/steps i need to take note, when flash to JB rom? I dont want to mess up my lovely s2 again..
Thanks in advance!
1. Try to backup gb and then install ics stock rom on your phone with odin, you can find the guide on the forums somewhere (because there is no support for running gb and jb on the phone because of non kernel support for the both),
2. After you get your phone booting up root it with siyah kerneb by flashing it frue odin like flashing the stock rom,
3. Now install jb (i recomend you the jelly bam version by igio, awesome rom )
4. Now that done if you want to go back to gb you have to install gb stock rom yust like in odin.
5. Root the gb and install cwm kernel and you can get back to your rom.
JellyBam http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162
So to your question NO you cant as i said the kernel does not support gb and ics/jb on the same device...
Click thanks if i helped you
And if i made a mistake please correct me!!!
Really appreciate ur explanation!
Wanted to 'click thx' but where it is? Sry a newbie here.. haha
Sounds complicated & stops me now.. sigh.. how i wish to hv my s2 running JB.. hehe

What a load of crap that other guy said.Just make a nand backup of your GB setup,then flash the JB rom/kernel.You can backup that if you want/or dont(if you dont youll lose option to restore JB).
I can alternate between GB/JB by just restoring nands anytime I want.

Nandroid Backup or nand backup - a Nandroid backup is essentially a complete snapshot of your phones operating system—application data, and all—that be restored via recovery. It’s always a good idea to keep a backup of a nice stable setup just in case of emergency so that u can restore the same using CWM recovery
so that it saves u all that time u need for dwnld'ng a firmware and flashing the same and setting up ur phone to its previous wrk'ng state, with all ur apps and its data
PS- u can use that CWM app (the App after rooting) to perform those actions
Eg.Im using XWKI4 with siyah v2.6.14 kernel.I go into cwm and make a nand backup.
I can then download say vanilla rootbox by bajee,and once everythings set up ok I then go into cwm again and make a nand of that.
2 minutes later I go into cwm and restore my GB backup and Im back on GB.
For your other question,I think the siyah GB kernel has cwm as an "app",but I dont think the vanilla rootbox kernel did.I changed the kernel to dorimanx but I went straight back to GB.
Anyway,I just use the 3 button combo to get into cwm.

Correct me if im wrong..
So as long as i already created a GB backup in my int sd card, & after which i flash a JB rom. If i want to switch back to GB, i just reboot to Recovery mode with up-home-power buttons & from there i can restore my previous GB (backup in int sd card). Is it correct?
In addition, regarding kernel..
I explored some rom & their steps of flashing, none mention about flashing kernel?
I know kernel is sth connecting hardware with OS (right?), then why flashing kernel is not included in the rom flashing steps? Is flashing another kernel necessary?
When flashing a kernel, must i connect to pc to do so, or simply copy kernel file into int sd card & flash it (using recovery mode?)?
Thanks for ur patience!
1.yeah,thats what I said
2.the roms come with the kernel,and some come with aroma installer which lets you choose various combinations eg. kernel/apps/launchers whilst you are installing the rom.
Anyway you can chop and change compatible kernels whenever you like.....same with modems.
People try different kernels for performance/battery life so its not compulsory.
You can use odin/mobile odin or cwm for flashing.
And its best to backup your efs folder when your rooted also and keep a copy on your pc.

What & where is efs folder? Is it containing the backuped roms?
IMEI.
just download hkctool off play store and use that.
Used 'CWM app' to backup into ext sd card; restore also using 'CWM app' w/o any issues.
However, when i reboot to recovery mode, i cannot restore as indicating 'file not found'.
My question is: whether the backup file must be inside int sd card instead of ext sd card?
Thanks!
It doesnt matter where it is.The restore option in cwm looks at your external card,and the other restore options further down look at your internal card.

yet how come 'file not found' when i tried to restore in Recovery Mode? headache...
It might be in your internal and the cwm is looking for it in external or in other direction that is looking in external and the backup is in internal you can look wit the explorer or something. Look for the clockworksmod folder or something. Mine is in the external sdcard. Try to move whole folder in internal maybe.

[Another noob question]
Is there a way to flash a custom ROM (like CM13) on SGSD then restore old user apps & data? I've read a few articles online but i doubt they work with our device. (Most include making nandroid backups on recovery and then restoring only the data.)
Hoped there'd be a way for this other than backing up all data on a PC.
Thx to whoever answers.

Different rom has different style of data storing.
So data from stock rom/cm10/11 wont work on cm 13.
But still u can try and see if it works.
Get a TWRP recovery,
Go to backup and then backup data only(u will see tick-marks and u will be able to choose what exactly u wanna backup).
Then flash a new rom and restore backed up data.
And u can backup the whole rom and restore back if u don't like the new rom.

On TWRP,u will b able to choose what u really wanna backup.
Eg - kernel,system(os),data,ems,bin
But on cwm there's only one option.
Backing up the entire rom.

Ok, so i'm going to flash a new ROM cause i find the stock rooted slower since my SGSD is really old. Can you suggest some ROMs with better I/O speed, little to no lags, or anything that's suitable for slightly heavy use everyday? Many thanks.

debloat ur rom by deleting unnecessary system apps.
Use seeder to reduce lag and use greenify pro to force stop system apps

when you're restoring the backup , you will see the date and version of system that backup is taken from .
