Hey everyone. I installed jelly bean on my gs3 and i didn't liked it (a little lugging). Thank God i made a backup before this process using cwm. But now when i tried to open this app in my phone it said something about application version. I tried using sgs3 toolkit but my phone now cannot boot into the system and using the recovery image i cannot find the restore folder (which i managed to copy it the sd card before). How can i restore my phone using that backup i have done before??
So you have a backup, but it does not work, or you can not find it?

I have a backup but since my phone won't boot i do not know how to install it. I have that backup on my pc too..
Boot into recovery (vol up, home & power) and restore...

Maybe you should try booting to download mode and flashing stock via odin and worry about your backup after your phone is in working order
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
When i go into recovery and press restore it says it does not locate any file to use. But i have copied the backup folder before all this mess to the root of the phone.
Does anyone knows how to use sgs3 toolkit to restore??
di you put your backup into /clockwordmod/backup?!? i mean it should be there but if it isnt it would be unecessary to do a full fresh install

Try and get the restore folder on your extSdCard and make sure you try to restore from ext sd in CWM.

When i go into recovery there is not a choice to make backup or restore. Also i do not have an external sd card..
Flash CF root and CWM recovery as it looks like you have stock recovery .

What do you mean? You can't find the folder where you backed up to? You don't have sdcard/clockworkmod/backup?

So you don't have CWM? Just flash it with the toolkit
Ok done it. When i reboot the screen is black but the boot sound is playing normally, so i cannot see anything although it seems that the phone is on. Also when i boot into recovery mode and i try mount the phone, nothing happens..
Ok sorry for being so misunderstood, it is because i try at the same time to fix it.. Here how it is right now, when i boot in my phone the boot sound is playing but the screen is black. For the recovery image part, i have flashed cwm but when i go in recovery mode i cannot mount the phone to copy the backup file in cwn folder. And as i said before i already have a backup folder which i want to use to restore my phone. That's all that matters right now..Thank you for your answers btw
Just restore the backup
That is the point,i cannot do that.
So the backup is not on your phone?
Before messing up the phone i copied it on internal sd card, but not in the backup folder of cwm but on the root of the phone
When in recovery, open adb on the computer, type
shell
mv -r [YOUR BACKUP FOLDER PATH] sdcard0/clockworkmod/backup
Or actually, the more straightforward way would be to wipe data, then boot the device and move the backup folder into the cwm directory from there

i wouldnt recommend using ROM manager but if you have amon recovery theres a nand backup & restore for those purposes under the backup and restore tab.

Yes, just use the Amon Recovery, which you're probably using, to flash update.zip from the SD card. update.zip is put there by ROM Manager and will take you to Clockwork Mod Recovery. From there you can access the NAND backups you told it to make from ROM Manager. If you're talking about deleting old NAND backups from Recovery, not exactly, but you can mount your SD card through USB from recovery (easier in Amon RA, but can be done via an option in one of the menus in Clockwork Mod, too) and then "manage" the files from Windows.
Does this answer your question?
hey guys can you guys help me install this rom on my phone its aready rooted Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 gingerbread clone... please!!!
download
move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

I have heard this over and over. I only have one question that I could not find anywhere. Do you need to rename the "Ginger_Clone_Final_R2.zip" to update.zip? Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

I think i just screwed up and damaged my system/chroot file by copy and paste from the /sdcard/ext2ubuntu/ to my system folder without backing up the original. I am now afraid to re-boot my phone. can someone send me a good copy of the original file. I need someone to copy their chroot file from their /system/xbin/ and send it to me.

Hey... guys !
So i recently switched from ios to Android ...
i want to root my galaxy s3 but before that i want to make a complete backup of my phone... how do i do that?
and secondly i downloaded the Update kit 6.0 .. for rooting but there is no option given for 4.1.2! So please help me
Rooting is like gaining administrator rights on your phone. Custom ROMs are modified OS images. And yes, unlike iDevices, you can revert back to any firmware you want. It's not risky if you know what you're doing. Rooting can help you backup your ROM, overclock your phone, restore from an old backup, and can help you modify almost everything in your phone. It's really not that hard.

Use cf root. It's easier, then go to cwm. Power off your device. Power on + vol up + home button
Btw, efs folder contains imei, so backup that also.
For apps, use titanium backup

Looking for some help here...
Was using CWM recovery and decided to switch to TWRP. Made a backup just in case and put some custom roms in a folder on internal storage. Installed TWRP using GooManager and after installation went into Recovery. I forgot to do a TWRP backup and and did a full wipe. I am now stuck with no system installed and TWRP is not seeing the Folder where I have flashable ROMs installed. Any ideas on how I can recover from this? If my PC was seeing the device I know what to do but it isn't....thanks
Found the thread about using the Sideload function in TWRP...will try following that and see it works for me...

Unfortunately ADB commands do not run if you have no system installed and that was the issue. The Folders I was able to view were empty so I am guessing a 0 sub directory was created. Will check that out later....thanks
