Hey.
One question before I flash a custom kernel on my SGS3. I was planning on making first a nandroid backup with the stock kernel-
If I flash a custom kernel and after a few days I want to revert back to the stock kernel will the nandroid backup do it? Or does it copy everything except the kernel?
Does the nandroid backup backup the kernel also so I can go back to my previous kernel too?
Thanks.
A nandroid backup backups everything except kernel.

So not the kernel?
Weird. I thought it did an image of everything.

U can always flash kernels individually. Just an extra step.

Sorry to the guys above but I must have a magic S3 because YES a nandroid does back up your kernel at least on the S3 it does.. Please read the stickies >>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362743 <<<<< See post 2

Hi all...is it possible to backup my current rom? If so, how?
Thanks
when you boot into clockworkmod you can do a backup there. i think it makes a backup of everything and then you can restore using the clockworkmod...

Dear Noob..you cannot change the IMEI number yourself..you need to have a backup of your EFS folder for that..if you backed it up use the Ktools app to restore the nav_data.bin file...
Otherwise Service Center..
I hope it helped..
P.S. Post questions in the Q&A section..it is there for a reason..
I also flashed omega v14 and ended up the same as you

Looks like you are in deep trouble.
Considering you are asking this question in general section, I'll take the liberty of assuming that you did not backup your efs folder.
May be someone else can pitch in here to help you. Meanwhile you can confirm if you have the backup of efs folder or not?

Think Omega automatically backs up efs?

Statements like that make me really apprehensive about referring people to XDA for help. Next time you have a bright idea and want to share it, just don't.

Here is a guide to repair your IMEI from the SGS2 Forum! It should be the same! I solved my IMEI problem with this Guide on my SGS1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
[GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
It is very important that you back up your efs before flashing any ROM, and before you folow this guide BACKUP the faulty efs folder because it contains the old backup of the file nv_data.bin. It beginns with a dot like .nv_data or similar (because I haven't a SGS3, but the structure of the efs folder should be similar).
Please be carefully and think twice what you are doing!!!

i tried that one too..i placed the 2 backups on my internal sd card but when i press restore efs from backup it says that no such file exists..do i have to place them in another place?or what`s the problem?can you make a short tuto please
No idea.. what would be best would be remembering how you took them....or perhaps the dev thread for the 2nd app has more info - did you read it /ask in the thread.
If you can't restore the backup, you can try and restore to stock otherwise send for repair

Hi,
Recently i have been mucking about with flashable .zip themes but being an idiot didnt back up before i started flashing and now some of my icons have changed and i was wondering if there is any way to get them back to stock.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I know i have been a giant idiot
One way, I think would be to reflash your current rom.

You won't need to wipe data if you're flashing the same ROM but yes, you should always backup. Always take a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING. Also think about using Titanium backup for individual apps.
You should read:

i just use the stock firmware that came withthe phone so im unsure on how to reflash them
All in that thread I suggested you read although its probably easier for you to flash stock from Odin....

maybe u can use a launcher, like adwlauncher it let you change icons of your apps
If I wear to do an advanced restore and only remote the /system would that make any difference to my personal data, as it is syst apps that are modified such as the sms and phone app

Or, if you have Nova Launcher installed, you could go to Nova Settings>Look and Feel>Icon Themes>Default or Stock Jelly Bean

I already use action launcher and have been for a while now, but the problem is that parts inside the all have been changed and also my apps on the block screen

In that case, I think one option for you to preserve stock look/icons would be to heed the earlier post/s by rootsu - flash stock firmware from your region/country using Odin. It shouldn't take that long.

Right. When I mentioned earlier about taking Nandroid backups before flashing things, that probably would have been a good time to bring that up.
