Hello Everyone,I was wondering if there is somewhere a Galaxy S3 i9300 Nandroid backups collection of Stock Firmwares. It would be nice and useful if someone wants to restore his phone bypassing Odin ^^
Nope
Then why not create one here on xda? :laugh:

You do know that Nandroid backup does not only contain the stock firmware right? If we were to share our Nandroid backups then it'll be quite foolish of us if we do really do that

You can always do an advanced backup choosing what to and not to backup I think,or we can do nandroids with freshly installed stock firmware

Still no. Nandroids will still contain some personal files and information even if you do a custom one. Don't be too lazy and just use your own.

Post yours first .
Stock roms are usually available in cwm flashable zip format in several threads, so a nandroid of the same would not be useful and would probably contain some personal/phone specific data.
Not a good idea.

I have a question whether it's possible to backup the original kernel before to flash a modded one, so that i can go a step back if i have problems. I can backup the whole ROM in Recovery that is also a solution, but maybe there is a chance to backup only the needed stuff and not the whole ROM.
As far as I know you can only backup your kernel by backing up your entire rom

At least in Version 2.2.1 of the Thunderg Custom Recovery (search the developers section) from getitnowmarketing it is possible to selectively backup only the kernel.
If the kernel to be saved is part of a stock ROM it can also be extracted from the ROM using the android kitchen... although this is much more complex.

why you need to do that? if something happened, just go into recovery and reflash the last good one.

you can save/put the kernel (as the original flashable zip file) on your sdcard.
Hi ,
I have a galaxy sII i9100g And i Flashed a kernel i went into cwm and Backed up the stock rom So if i flash a rom can i restore the stock rom's Backup ik i can do it with custom roms i dont know if i can with Custom ROms so yeah Please Andser
you can backup/restore both stock/ custom roms, the default will restore the whole backup replcaing the existing one, you can make advanced restore to restore specific backup.
well i restore many times if iam not happy wiv the custum rom so yes u can restore back but hav a proper backup and don wipe the whole phone as the backup goes off sometimes.

Yea you can restore your stock rom any time with Cwm recovery. As long as you have cwm recovery in your new custom rom you can acess your backups. So be sure you flash cwm recovery on your custom rom btw most of rom's come with cwm so you don't have to worry if not you can flash cwm recovery from odin too. Just search on google about cwm touch
Hope it helped you.
Thanks me i my words are helpfull.
Thanks You All cuz im not happy with this rom i wanted to go back..thanks again

As far as my expereriance, after restoring a ROM form your backup it is always a good idea to wipe Cache and dalvik cache befor rebooting. (not the factory reset..that will wipe your applications this you do before restoring only)
how will you restore to stock via CWM if CWM is via a rooted kernel .
It will be a non stock kernel .

I think here everybody meant by "Stock" is the first ROM which was there in the phone..no matter its rooted with a custom kernel.....

But its not original and voids warranty if restored was my point .
Far easier to grab a download of the original rom .
OP did say stock rom and not custom rom so the answer is as always not via CWM its no longer a stock rom once rooted .

Just flash latest official firmware from Samsung and then u will be able to update ur device!!! Use Odin to flash!!!
I rooted my Galaxy Note 2 and used an app from the app market for backing up the EFS, the app crashed in the middle and I ended up losing the EFS. Nothing worked and I had to take it to the service centre (thankfully I could remove the flash counter and make the status to official so they did it within warranty.)
I have exchanged the phone with my sibling, I have the s3 now. The battery life on the official UK 4.3 version (since it wasn't out for India yet) sucks(any. I would like to try custom Roms.
Kindly link me to any existing thread(I Couldn't find one) if its there.
What all precautions should I take?
1)Backup the stock ROM(using Titanium Backup?)
2)Backup EFS(using?)
Thanks in advance

you can use the hc-KTool to backup the efs, is easy to use and free downloads from the play store. backup the stock rom is a custom recovery such as CWM, Philz, TWRP.

another precaution may be, install the correct kernel for rom you wear. clear that if you change custom kernel. but just these two precautions, especially with having the efs backup.

but EFS backup would require root? And the root method available is for 4.1.2
Rooting and Custom Roms were so much more fun on the sk17i
