If you're just backing up a rom, just leave all the boxes alone because TWRP has it preset. Anddddddd you're in the Development Section.

Look at the other posts in this section and tell me what's different then yours.
Why would you post this here? You've been around for a while you know where to post a question and it isn't in development.
And don't change the defaults just hit backup

We're not trying to be the bad guy but the development threads need to stay clean from General post to avoid confusion. I just helped you out by requesting the thread moved, that's all. :good:

Meant to add reported as well. I'm a little harsh because it seems like a lot of this around the note 2 forum and I just expect old vets like the op to not contribute and like you said need to keep development thread clean. Plus the mods have a lot to do and shouldn't have to spend time moving threads for people.
By the way I wasn't trying to be a complete jerk that's why I even answered his question, but DroidOnRoids beat me to it.

Can you, or should you do a NANDROID (CWM) backup between different devices?
I broke the screen on my month old SGSII (Yes, it can be done), I got the replacement already, but I just want to know if it's wise to restore from an image...Are there Unique Device ID's or something similair that would identify the device/cause problems?

Just erring on the side of caution.
I had to swap my first GSII and I had no issues at all restoring my backup once I was rooted with CWM installed.

Just kidding. Like each of the individuals that have responded have stated, as long as you're restoring on the same kind of device you won't run into any hiccups. The information that is backed up isn't device specific to that extent.

making a thread for everything is pointless when the additions can be made to threads already made, that's the whole point of encouraging people to comment in the proper thread instead of making a new one.
@jjc5891 your post is good if you want to do either of those things individually but if you want to go completely back to stock is easier to just use the odin file from da_g in case of brick.
Ok, here is a riddle to solve for ya:
Theft protection software is crucial these days on every smartphone and chosing the right one is not really easy. I've only been using SeekDroid and have been thinking about trying Prey so far, but while I read an article about Theft Aware functioning beyond factory reset of the phone, this riddle came to my mind:
What if the phone gets stolen by someone knowing how to flash a new ROM or read about it? I've got 4EXT (always latest version) installed - is there some software that integrates into recovery and cannot be deleted without the correct code or something?
Oh, and before you answer: Keep stuff like "naa dude, that'll never happen" to yourself. Thanks.
You can try avast it writes its own partition so a factory reset or flashing a Rom won't work check it out

Thanks. Where does it write this partition?
Is it undeletable even through recovery?
Try cerberus. Amazing anti-theft. And to answer your question, nothing is safe from a standard/CWM recovery. It can wipe anything. TWRP supposedly has a recovery either just finished or in the works which is encrypted and requires a password to use, but I don't know for sure.
As for avast, I'm fairly sure it doesn't write a new partition. It just installs it to system.
I'm using avast, seems ok at the moment, not needed to use the anti theft yet.
Adding a pin code to 4ext recovery would be an awesome idea! Perhaps its possible to do?

Because they're honest. I'm pretty sure ANY anti-theft app can be un installed by flashing a ROM (more specifically by wiping data and system). Only by locking your bootloader and recovery can this be gotten around.
Here's a discussion in another thread with ideas hashed out. Should help us by giving ideas. http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/29233-Lost-/-Stolen-Phone-apps:-the-best-of-the-best

Dear Mr. Kameirus, thank you so much for posting this useful contribution. My sensors have detected a slight raise of your body temperature and a minimal change of your voice tonality, which leads me to the question if you might be emotionally overwhelmed by my complicated question above. But at least you are smart enough and have the balls to throw out a "yo homie, use the search button". Here, take your cookie.
Avast! can survive a Cyanogenmod flash. But I think that's as close as we're going to get at the moment.

No, ofcourse the kernel isnt deleted. Why on earth would it do that?
A factory reset deletes app/system app data and reverts it back to default install.
Then if i put a New kernel on it will the old be deleted?

Yes.
Just go to sammobile.com and get your stock rom.
The kernel won't be deleted unless you flash another won over it,only your data (pictures,music) get deleted.
Pretty sure that got answered almost a day ago. Don't see why it needs to be said again ? (I have my own theories about why certain RC's do this, but, anyhoo).

With the way he questions i don't think he's quite ready to perform a flash operation, i suggest the OP to do some research through Google and ask questions, because quite frankly how do you think an OS runs? If factory reset deleted the kernel Samsung or any other company would be knee deep with warranty claims and law suit' from pissed clients. Please Google and try to understand what "Kernel" means and what "Factory reset" means, and then try advanced things like flashing a kernel.

What is the deal with our phones having a development and an original development section on the forums here. I just got my s4 and I dont want to screw it up by flashimg twrp from the original development section if that was for a prerelease version of the phone or something weird like that.
