Sorry, but Samsung KIES only works with Samsung firmware (ROM). If you want restore your backup, go back to another Sammy ROM.
An alternative method is to backup your data (contact, message ...) with TitaniumBackup. You can restore it on custom ROM.

How do I backup my LG Optimus One (also contacts, texts etc) before I flash into a new rom? I tried ROM Manager but my phone model isn't listed in the "Choose your model" section, and Titanium only backs up applications etc. I need to back up the whole ROM, no?

Hi before installing MIUI1.9.16 I backed up all contents to kies backup.
To restore in miui,
What do I do?
I don't think you will be able to connect to Kies after flashing MIUI !
Do Backup with Titanium dude.

I'd flash back to your stock ROM and put your phone back how you had it. Then use KIES to get your stuff back that got wiped from your phone. Then install Titanium Backup or similar backup app (I'd recommend the Pro version) and back up your data that way.
Stock ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Then you can flash a new ROM on there, get Titanium back from the market, and perform a recovery from Titanium to get your apps and data back onto your phone.
****.. Again all the work...
What is the recommended may to backup the Note if I am not rooted? Tried using search but could'nt find. Thanks.
Do you mean the stock rom or all the apps and their data (call logs, SMS messages, etc)?

Stock rom and everything, looking to get the ICS from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729694
First you install the CWM recovery by installing Odin on your PC, then sending the recovery kernel to your phone.
Second you use the CWM recovery in your phone to back up the entire phone image.
Third you flash the rom. You can use CWM to flash or you use the 1click from your PC.

Download one of the stock ROMs from Sammobile.com or simply from here and flash it using ODIN. Check this. Remember to download 4.1.2 + ROMs only. Don t flash ICS ROMs as there is a risk of SDS.
Once you flash stock, you will loose your root. So just root again using CF AutoRoot. CF-AutoRoot does not give you custom recovery. So after rooting you will have to install a custom recovery.
PhilZ Recovery is good. Download the .tar.md5 and flash using ODIN same way you flashed the ROM.
NOTE : - Download the versions for your phone model only. Don t download and flash other phone model s ROM/Recovery.
things to do before and after flashing

Goto recovery now with your custom ROM, wipe data. Then reboot into download and flash Stock ROM and do as I mentioned.
And yes the backup which you have can be used after gaining root access to restore apps+data using Titanium Backup.
The backups are stored in your SD card. Nothing is deleted from the SD card. But to be on the safer side, just keep a backup of your backups in your computer.
The CM10.1 backup should be in clockworkmod folder in internal/external SD and the apps backup should be there in Titanium Backup folder in internal SD card.
Simply read the how to return to stock for warranty guide
Is there a need to use triangle away app

If you don't want to claim any warranty then there is no need to use Triangle Away App...
My Binary Count is 13 and i don't care to reset it.
but if you are returning to stock rom then its always a good idea to reset your binary count.
because if you broke your touch then there is no way to reset your binary count and you wont be able to claim warranty.
believe me it happened to me once.
I always thought that if there is something problem with my phone then i could use triangle away and un-root my phone to claim warranty
but what if touch screen is not working ? Damn no way to reset binary cout

Hi,
following the instructions on cyanogenmod.org, I have flashed CWM (using heimdall), then made a cwm backup of the stock rom, then installed CM10.1.3 stable. Works great.
Now I'm trying to restore my stock backup temporarily because I forgot to export my address book and my text messages (stupid me, I know). Of course, I have made a cwm backup of my CM first.
I wipe everything (factory reset in cwm), then restore my stock backup in cwm, and it goes through smoothly. However, when I reboot, after the Samsung logo there's the boot sound, and the screen goes blank completely. Nothing happens after that.
I can reboot (hold down power button forever), go back to cwm, and restore my CM backup, and everything works perfectly again. But I can't get my stock backup to work.
Can anyone help? Or is there a way to find the address book or text messages in the cwm backup files manually?
Thanks!

You mean Android version? I believe stock was 4.04 (official OTA update quiet some time ago), the cwm Version is 6.06, I think. And CM10.1is Android 4.1.
Best thing you can to get it running is flash stock with Odin and forget about 4.0.4 nandroid. You see the 4.0.4 firmware has a bug which may brick you're phone. Don't factory reset whatever you do. Can you not mount as USB is recovery and get the data that way.?

Sorry, I just checked again, cwm is this, so JB 6.0.2.9:
http://cmw.cmfs.me/c1/recovery/GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar
Regarding Android stock version, I'm not sure if it's 4.0.4 or 4.1.
I can access the nand backup easily, it is on the external SD - is it possible to get the address book out of the nand directly?
Thanks so much...
I'd concentrate on getting the phone up and running first as once you have a working phone, the options for recovering ur data get that much easier......example....I believe you can use titanium backup to retrieve data from nandroids.......
And as @andrewwright says.....stay away from 4.0.4
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
Got it. What I did was
0) Make a complete cwm nandroid backup.
1) Restore only the /data partition of my old cwm nandroid backup using cwm, then stay in cwm recovery and copy my old contacts database to my computer:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
2) Use the dump-contacts2db script from the awesome project at https://github.com/stachre/dump-contacts2db to dump a vcf file from contacts2.db.
3) Restore the cwm nandroid backup made in 0).
4) Copy the vcf file to my phone and import it in contacts.
I found awesome advice here: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/7851/restore-only-part-of-nandroid-image
and here: http://www.droidwiki.de/Datenwiederherstellung#Kontakte
