I know if you make a nandroid backup with specific version of CWM recovery, you can only restore it with same version, not any other versions it will gave error. Just keep your eye on that and be careful for when you want to restore that backup.

its is WinRAR archive (.7z) , so it is 7z file , does that work with CWM ?
also if i go back to stock , the nandroid backup will be with stock recovery mod , so i think that will be ok , correct me if im wrong

any help ?

If its 7zip archive and inside is tar archive then it's not CWM flashable.

If you want to get back to factory default. Kies would flash a generic rom for your phone. Madmack 1.5 is either the rom or the theme of your phone. Is it a custom rom or stock rom you want to install?
i just want a factory rom for download in case something goes wrong .. and i want to install dlevs rom or criskelo rom ..
or is it safe for me to install roms? and my phone will alwayz be rooted???
i dont want to go for stock . but if my phone goes dead then i need a stock firmware??

Yes it is safe to install Roms. If you do it wrong you will just get a soft brick easily recoverable. Read the forums on how to flash a rom and kernel
First download odin ill attach it for you:
Second download .tar kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838

Stock kernels are not that good! Custom kernels come with a lot more features, Way faster performance, smoother and just all round better!!. With regular updates i do see that it is necessary for me anyway. It takes 2 seconds to install
If you need me to install the kernel PM me?
my battery timings are very good now .. if i install siyah kernel will it eat my battery or give me good time ??? and im using iptables+proxydroid right now bcoz i am behing a proxy server.. will iptables work on roms??

If anything it will make your battery times even better and im sure of this. Well if it worked before on stock kernel and stock rom there is no reason why it wouldnt work on custom kernels and roms

how do i flash stock rom with odin ?
sorry .. but just dont wrily know...
Have a look at this thread to find a rom which matches your country/carrier. There is a guide to using Odin in that thread as well. If the download links don't work, write down the name of the stock rom you want to use & search for it on Samfirmware.com & download it there.
it says near my packege
"This is still BETA firmware so don't moan if everything doesn't work. It comes with old bootloader and is non-wipe"
is it still ok to go with it ??
Which package ?
XXLPJ
and agin thanks for helpin...
That's Ok I recommend you go back to stock Gingerbread, and then have another go at ICS. XXLPJ is stock ICS, you can use it, but as the warning says, it is a beta.
I'd use a GB stock rom for your country/carrier if were in your situation.
i dont understand
what is stock Gingerbread ??
an what is GB stock ??
my carrier is orange, israel ....
which package in the guide should i use ??
GB & GingerBread are one in the same.
Choose Israel Orange stock from from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14505996&postcount=3
Use ODIN to flash
READ this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13712988&postcount=1 post for flashing with ODIN it should give you the information YOU need.

do i have to root when i change karnel ?
and is changin karnel is with odin ?
realy thanks for evrything
Glad you got it sorted
When flashing other roms or kernels, follow the instructions for flashing that rom or kernel to the letter & you shouldn't have problems.
Most custom kernels (all ?) are rooted, so you don't have to root again after installing them. And most custom kernels are flashable via CWM, tho many do have Odin flashable versions. My advice would be to stick to CWM flashable versions as this is the simplest way to flash a rom or kernel.
thanks agin...
thats what is used before

Imaginary ICS is based on 2.3.6 - He edited the build.prop file to make it say 4.0.4.
You cant flash a backup of a stock ROM via CWM 4/5 as the ROM uses the ext4 filesystem. You'll need to flash via ODIN (stock rom from sammobile.com) or convert filesystem back to rfs and use a backup.
ODIN

[Help]How to restore to stock rom without odin ?

Hi guys! I installed one theme last night and now i have big problems with my phone. if i wipe all device and install the GalaxyMOD again has no result, the ''Theme Galaxy S3'' is still in my phone.
I want to know how can i restore my phone to stock rom without using odin ? I have problems with usb, doesn't connect to the pc and i can't use odin.
Thanks!
Two ways. Either with Mobile Odin (get it from Google Play) or somewhere in General there's a thread with CWM flashable stock roms (don't have a link so you'll have to search for it).
i'm looking for the thread with CWM flashable stock roms, but i can't find it :highfive:
Can you give me i link ?
I'm searching for it... right now... but...
From my previous post "...don't have a link so you'll have to search for it".

You could use a nandroid backup file if someone has.
Here is stock ICS rom which is CWM flashable (released by wanam, not the wanamlite version but stock (odex/deodex) rom
http://wanamlite.com/2012/08/01/romcwmxwlptics4-0-4-odexed-fully-deodexed-stock-rom/
1) restore from a back up (if you made one in the beginning)
or
2) flash stock firmware via recovery mode
i didn't do a backup...
Only CWM Stock.

leaked official 4.1.2 ????
just go sammobile website search and download for your country if you want
else flash any country version also okay
Just use kies, it's safer and easier...
About how much percent ODIN can fail in flashing rom to s3? Still didnt receive updates on KIES so i want to flash it via ODIN. Also how many time ddoes it take for ODIN to complete flashing??
Get the galaxy s3 toolkit. It includes odin and a copy of the stock recovery you can flash.
Flashing the recover with odin takes under a minute. Flashing a complete rom with odin takes about 5 minutes maximum.

0% fail if you follow the instruction
just need samsung kies (you need the usb driver, not kies because install samsung kies will automatically install the driver also)
and odin and the ROM (in .tar or .tarmd5, depends, confirm is end with .tar and put in pda
and take less than 10 minutes
flashed my s3 via mobile ODIN pro and it worked like a charm.....
Finally flashed my phone, but with mobile ODIN pro. My question is how to get the 4.2 camera on jelly bean 4.1.2 XXELKC. ? Thanx for all your help guys. ..
Flash a custom rom with the mod .
See Android Development Omega rom for one .
Or find the files and push them yourself to the custom rom .
Have a look in Themes and apps and see if its also posted as a standalone mod .

It depends upon the instructions for that rom you need to read them .
But CWM recovery flash is the norm for most custom roms .

Stock Recovery
If you just want the Stock Recovery for example for OTA, just flash the stockrecovery.tar via ODIN. Even I don't like using ODIN too much, but it's a million times better than Kies and easy to use. I personally recommend using ODIN on the PC if possible and avoid Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin is only if you don't have a PC or really need to do something on the go. It's a great app but don't use it all the time. And I'm not sure about this but I think by just flashing the Recovery you won't loose root nor Data, so you save a lot of time!
Only crappy thing with Odin is that it needs TAR and I don't know how to make those excpet with Toolbox. Does anybody know an easy way to make a flashable tar on windows without toolbox or cygwin (linux).

mega bass beat option
I've read about the "flashing mega bass beat option to s3" and it says
-- install zip from sdcard
-- chose zip from sdcard
-- wait for installation to complete
-- wipe cache partition
-- wipe dalvik cache
-- wipe fix permissions
The question is: what will happen if I didn't wipe the dalvik cache?
Do I really need to wipe it?
