I have been backing up the original rom because i like to try some others like the new development with the 3.1 kernel but every time i try to restore the backup it gives an error.
Is it possible to backup the Stock rom?

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.
Hi
I have ics and i am going to install gb kernel&rom
I will make back up in my recovery now .. When i install the new gb kernel & rom can i restore all thing or i need to flash my current ics kernel to restore my current system and all thing ?
To restore an ICS firmware, you only need a Recovery. You can restore the backup from Gingerbread, but then don't forget to flash ICS kernel, otherwise the phone won't boot properly
I am looking for the stock rom the phone comes with so i can flash back. i failed to make a backup prior to flashing cm10.1 Also, do i need gapps with that?
Hi guys !
I'm on ICS right now, odexed rom. Really stable and everything.
BUT
I want to test JB again, with full wipes and so on. And really this is giving me pain where the sun does not shine.
So here is my question:
Is there an easy way to switch between roms ? CWM recovery ? Do you have a How to ?
Take a backup of your current rom and transfer the backup to your PC (just to backup the backup in case!)
Then go on flashing a jellybean kernel and installing the rom. To restore your old rom flash an ICS kernel and restore the backup

Installing a rom manager like TWRP could I backup my phone creating a ROM, try new Rom/firmware and turn back to my actually backup?

If you have flashed a custom recovery like TWRP, you could backup your current OS to your external SD card, flash a custom ROM and - after some trial of this custom ROM - revert back to your original OS without any problem.
