Hi,
Today Morning i got my SGS2 back from samsung services.
after changing the front and back cover, they upgrade FW to XWLPE and OS to 4.0.3.
I looked after insecured and secure file to install ROOT and CWM but i found nothing for this new FW.
anyone has an idea how i can do the full ROM backup as i did already with CWM ?
thx.
This is how you do it
Or flash any custom kernel

Thx a lot it allowed me to install CWM and ROOT.
moreover, i was able to make a full ROM backup on internal SDCard.
that's fantastic.

What do you really mean? from where are you accessing and what?
Why you want extract...? for removing any specific app?
If you have a CWM back up of earlier ROM, you can use Titanium Backup Pro for individual apps installation for installing from your earlier ROM....
I just wanted to do it in case I would like to back up to original state before rooting and flashing CM7.

Sorry to say you cant backup your current ROM till you root your phone...
Use checkfus to download original firmware .

If you use CWM you do not back up original as it has cwm and root kernel ,

Ok, I have back up my phone just after root so I have possibilty to back my stock T-mobile brand firmware but with root.
Hi everyone, after a few weeks of using custom rom and rooted my phone, i want to change it back to the previous status, which is the stock rom and kernel and not rooted, is there any possible way to do this ? can i just install the stock room by CWM ? Thanks

Option 1. Restore CWN Backup which you should have made before going flash happy
Option 2.Flash a stock rooted rom from XDA from custom recovery
Option 3.Find the stock firmware for your region from XDA/Checkfus/Sammobile.com..connect your phone in download mode via odin..flash the firmware as pda..then root with CF-root
all you need is in/General/stickies....oh and some reading
I just flashed back to stock and my messaging app isnt working. Any ideas?

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.

Thankss
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...

1. Yes just flash stock ROM using Odin. But you will lose data (not sdcard and external card)
2. Yes you can return to stock from CM. You will lose your data so can use Titanium Backup for backing up apps and data.
3. Yes you can flash CM10 using temp CWM.zip. Also since you are on 4.0.3 you are safe from brickbug.
Since you are already rooted, do a nandroid backup first using temp CWM.ZIP so you can go back to stock when required and if required apps and data backup using Titanium Backup.
A full wipe is recommended but not necessary before you install CM10. Morr details on CM10 thread.

Hello,
I bought my SGS3 more than a year ago. It came with 4.0.4 (ICS), I inmediately changed the ROM to have a pure Samsung one (I live in Mexico, so I wanted to get rid of the TELCEL ROM). After some months I changed the ROM to Jelly 4.1.2 and I kept the phone with it.
I always have rooted my phone without any issues, in order to be able to make backups with "titanium backup" app, so everytime I change the ROM....I do first a backup and then I flashed, so I have to be able to root the phone in the next ROM.
I read about the 4.3 release in October 2012, but after a week I read that too many issues were going on.....so I decided to wait.
So finally, I saw XXUGMK6 from "samsung-updates.com" page and I downloaded it.
I researched a little bit about the official ROM and the version XXUGMK7 was released then, so I decided to change it with this version.
Once I flashed the phone with this ROM everything looked fine, so I proceed to "root" it using ChainFire procedure (CF-Auto-root), but I have not been able to do it!!
I already read a lot of threads looking for solutions, I followed the indications..........but it is not rooted.
I got the right Odin Version, the right ZIP for rooting (CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip)........followed the OP by ChainFire.....but it does not work.
So.....I humbly ask for help, I really do not want to go back on 4.1.2 because not been succesfull in rooting.
Regards,
Guile
