[Q] ROM Backup as stock as possible ?

I am planning to backup the SGSII stock ROM as stock as possible.
I belive there are 2 options to backup the stock ROM.
1. Clockworkmod
2. RomDump
My question is, in Clockworkmod the recovery manager is modified and in RomDump, the application itself is installed and when the ROM backup is done, in both cases will the changes like recovery manager, RomDump app will also be in the back up ?
If so then I belive in addition to rooting, these are also the changes in stock ROM backup and when restored the system will not be as stock. Right ?
Is there anyother method which can take the backup as stock as possible ?
I belive RomDump would be the most nearest to stock ROM. Correct me if I am wrong.
PS: I know we have stock ROMs available for download. But I want to have my phone's version.

[Q] Root, recovery, nandroid etc.

I have just bought an SGS2 to replace my HTC Desire.
I rooted it using SuperOneClick. It seemed to work, I can run apps requiring root now.
But the very first thing I want to do is make a nandroid backup of the phone in it's out of box state (or as close to). Is it possible?
On Desire you had to root first, then install a custom recovery such as CWM, and then do a nandroid backup from there. So I guess I will have to install CWM. But googling tells me that on the SGS2 I have to replace the entire kernel to get a new recovery, is that right? And how do I do that?
If the only way to make a nandroid backup is to install a new kernel, I guess the backup will contain the new kernel. Is it possible to go back to the out of box state with the original kernel and original recovery and no root etc.?

Flash em via Odin and you'll have CWM take a backup and you are good to flash any custom ROM
Just take note what your stock firmware and kernel is and if you ever need to send off to Samsung you can just flash back to stock using intratechs stock rom thread

[Q] [HELP] Backup and Restore

So guys I am a newbie, and I am recently searching the internet for the best suitable rooting process for My phone (Symphony W70 - Bangladesh).
And I found many of them, but the problem is I want to back up my original (Stock) ROM, in-case if anything goes wrong or some defect in the cell.
So these are my questions:
1. How to make a backup of my phone's full Stock ROM, Might need if something goes wrong with the device
2. And How to Restore back to the Stock ROM that I created.
I will be really glad if someone help me pls.
Install the Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery in you phone.. then you have the option to take the backup from there.. So if anything goes wrong, you can boot into CWM and install your backup..
1&2. You can't.
Unless you can download a compatible software (your original stock Rom ) leaked by your company (symphony )
After rooting(if you succeed )you may full backup of your rooted Rom with cwm recovery.

Can I restore a nandroid backup using SP flashtools as I have no custom recovery?

I have an MTK6580 phone and MTKdroid tools does not work on this chipset so cannot install any custom recovery, have made a CWM nand backup with onandroid online backup, all seems good and have it saved to SD and PC. I want to try and port a recovery to my phone but want to know if I can somehow 'convert' my nandroid backup to one that SP flashtools will recognise and flash?
I have a full stock SP rom to flash if it all goes wrong, so I wont brick it, just would rather be able to flash my current rom thats all sorted out by me already. I 'assume' I can just replace certain files/images from backup to stock? Would that work???
Alternatively, if anyone knows a better way to backup and restore the full phone, not just apps which Ive also backed up in TiBa that would be great, or if anyone knows how to get a recovery onto this phone... uhappy u580
Thanks.

Hello guys, I am new in flashing world, so I wanted to know that in the process of rooting what if my phone will get bricked, is there any way to backup and restore current ZUI stock rom if my phone get brick? Although I think it isn't possible to install stock rom because the bootloader will be locked,so I just need a simple way to backup current stock rom and install it in the event of brick

Whole stock rom can be backup in custom recovery or via adb after getting root. Flashing custom recovery needs unlocked bootloader.
