Quick question.
I'm rooted with stock. I'm trying to complete a nandroid backup using Mobile Odin and a kernel from Philz Touch that will inject CWM recovery on my s2. (I'm on 2.3.5 GB, and found my kernel match through Philz)
I've read that all I have to do is open Mobile Odin, click file and select the kernel from my SD, do I need anything else? also will flashing delete my internal and external SD? will I have to apply all my apps again via TB?
This will be my 1st flash attempt since I rooted (using Odin on my pc) back in 2011/12, though now I'll be using Mobile Odin Pro.
I know it's a newbie question just need reassurance my SD (internal & external) will be ok, and that I don't brick my phone if indeed I need more files before attempting.
Cheers

Flashing processes through cwm don't delete your internal/external SD, if you flash a kernel through cwm your phone will be the same with different kernel

Tried to use rom manager to backup current rom, reboots into recovery and so on, but no backup file. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you dont have a current update.zip file on your phones sd card or didnt flash the current clockwork recovery. Check to make sure you have both folders on your sd card. Then it should work

Guys,
Over time in flashing roms, playing with different apps, etc. I've built up a bunch of junk on the phone and there are certain items I'm not even sure are safe to remove.
What is the best way to go about completely formatting the phone and starting fresh. Just format the SD card then boot into CWM and factory reset and then flash my ROM again? Will that take me back to a completely fresh install and clean SD card?
I did a search and most results were about cleaning things up for a ROM flash but I'm really trying to totally remove all the junk I don't use anymore. I have all my data backed up on the computer so putting it back won't be a problem. Thanks!

Yeah that should do it. But be careful, I may be wrong, but if you wipe your SD card, wouldn't you loose recovery too? Considering the clockworkmod folder would be wiped? Can someone clarify?

Recovery is kernel dependent, so no. The only concern in wiping the sd is deleting nandroid backups, which you can backup manually on a PC before clearing the sd. I assume the OP is going to take the appropriate measures to backup the files he/she wants.

Thanks. I knew it was kernel dependent, just was unsure.

I've read, but not attempted, that the only way to do what you want is to reflash a stock rom and do a master reset from inside there.
Another recommendation was to unmount/format the SD.

I put nandroids and any files I need to flash on my external sd, then wipe, factory reset, wipe caches, and then format sd. Then I can flash the ROM and other files from the ext sd.

I've had this same question for a while, posted sort of before but no answer. So what is the safe way?
How to keep nandroid backup and titanium backups.
I'd just move all my stuff to external_sd or a usb flash drive otg (what's that mean anyway? )
Can phone go into download mode from usb otg flash drive? What would I need on there?

Q1:
I have root + CWM Recovery from CF-root.
Im on stock TouchWiz 5.0 and all stock from Samsung. Only thing I've done is the CF-Root.
If i make a nandroid backup now in CWM recovery before I install a custom rom, will I then later, if I want to go back to the stock Touchwiz and firmware, CSC etc. Can i just restore the backup?
Or do I still need to flash stock firmware and that through Odin?
Q2:
If i make the backup to the Internal SD Card, will using the Wipe data/factory reset in CWM recovery, remove my backup?
Q3:
How much space does a backup take?

1. Yes you must restore Nanbackup from the same Rom you made the Backup with.
2. I think yes, so make Nanbackup in ExtSd, I think is factory default in ExtSd, at least mine does it...
3. About 2Gb

Hi.
I'v installed new stock rom 4.0.4 XWLQ2 and speedmod rom K3-32. I'v also done the Wipe Data/factory reset and Wipe Dalvik-Cache in recovery mode with speedmod kernel, bevor flashing of the new stock rom.
Everything has run without problems and I could start the phone without problems. But wenn I use the file-browser I can see the old folders and files from all applications that I had on the old 4.0.3 stock rom and just 2GB from internal storage are free. In applications menu I have just the stock Android applications.
Why are the folders and files from old apps steel in the internal storage of the phone and can I delete those folders and files now, without deleting the system files from new 4.0.4 version?
Or should I maybe flash again the 4.0.4 and do something more in the recovery mode bevore flashing of 4.0.4?
Thanks
Format internal sd....this will erase everything on internal sd...so backup pics or anything else important.

Ya in settings or recovery...no need to flash and root again. Just save anything like pics or music...etc...before formatting. Formatting sd doesnt effect system files.

I'v formated in Settings of the phone (format USB storage). Is that the same like format in the recovery mode? And why should I do flash of ROM and root again, is it necessary? My phone is working now very good.
Thanks
Like I said there is no need to flash and root again.

Hello,
I have a s3 gti9300. Currently I have 4.2.2 paranoid android 3.15 on it. I want to downgrade to Omega rom 4.1.2 for stability and stock purposes.
My question is this. Since 4.2.x enables the multiuser feature and adds an 'sd card 0' and 'emulated' folders, is it recommended to format my internal sd before flashing omega ROM since it doesn't have the multiuser feature? I don't mind losing the data on it. Or should I just format the /system? Or doesn't matter? would rather not have all those extra folders.
And if i format my internal sd card, which recovery should I use? Currently I am on Philz recovery latest version. I also have a nandroid of stock Samsung 4.1.2.
P.S. If I do need to format internal, any advice on what to backup would be appreciated! I already have my efs folder backup in my Dropbox so I'm guessing IMEI is safe
Thank you!

I always wipe internal sd moving between the two
Just back up your sd, do a titanium backup, boot recovery/mounts and storage/ format system/data/cache........ready to flash, .....Just remember that if you are going to flash new Rom through cwm, make sure it's on your external sd!

Hello, I am Philz touch. It's based on cwm. In mounts and storage, there is format /system and format /sd card.
Which one do I have to do?

Exactly as I said format system+ data + cache+sd card
How would I do the reverse of this I forgot to wipe my data from internal and now I can't seem to find it and I need to find it so I can back everything up galaxy note 2
