Sorry @dreamy.man but from what I know you have to be rooted.
To root, use MTK Droid Tools by rua1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
To backup, find oscarblue's post.
There were a few ways mentioned on how to backup.
1) flash cwm and make nandroid backup
2) make a scatter file in mtk droid tools and use sp flash tool somehow. I suggest you read the thread above.
Hope this helps. Press thanks if I helped you
Deep down in my memory there's an app in playstore that can backup your rom without using root. I cant remember the name sorry.

you can use titanium backup but ot also required root
Besides, there is no big harm or risk in rooting y'know. It's flashing that's a whole new story Give it a try!

Hi guys,
I posted a question similar to this before, but did not get much reply.
I have a chinese Razr, and I would like to install an English stock 4.1.2 onto it. This is mostly because for some reason gapps do not work and I really do want gapps.
I have not flashed phones for two years so I have no idea what everything is. And it seemed like all these requires root. Which is my other problem: I cannot install root on this phone no matter what I try. Someone suggested to me that this was because someone had rooted this phone before in an unconventional way and this locked the phone for any future roots. And when I had updated to 4.0.4 I had lost the root and cannot regain it. I must have tried 20 different methods to root this phone already so I'm pretty sure this is hopeless until I flash a different rom.
In any case, my android version is 4.1.2 and system version is 672.300.384.XT910ChinaRetail.en.CN
And I would like to flash a stock 4.1.2 on it.
Check in the dev forum, you'll find links to the correct gapps for your
version.

This is the gapps you need : http://www.4shared.com/get/HDGIsCws/update_gms_jb_spyder_r4.html
This is the china 4.12 root tool : http://dl.projectlense.com/download.php?file=spyder/razr_legacy_jbroot_034.zip
This is bmm apk : http://dl.projectlense.com/download.php?file=bmm/com.projectlense.bootmenu.getinfo.apk
What you need to do is simple, root your phone using the legacy jbroot by whirleyes, install the bootmenu manager apk file. Reboot into bootmenu recovery and flash the Gapps R4 package.
Dont thank me !

The device is already rooted, you just need to download any custom ROM you want, reboot to recovery, and flash your desired ROM from there.

first of all thanks for your answer.
If I understand properly
therefore, I'll have not any problem because of 4.4.4
that is correct ?
Yes, that is correct. The device is already rooted, with custom recovery, which means you can just reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash any desired ROM you want.
@@[email protected]........No disrespect intended, but this is "flashing 101" basics stuff........
The fact that you are asking it, tells me that you don't have the experience needed to do this comfortably.....
That's not a problem though.....we all start from the bottom, and learn as we go.....
But that being the case, i'd advise that you don't do anything to your phone until you've read, learnt and completely understood the processes behind the flashing procedure. It's best to understand what you are doing beforehand, rather than trying to figure out what went wrong afterwards.......

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Lg L9 II, it's the the stock rom but updated on 4.4.2 (KitKat).I have some bugs on my phone and it's a bit slower.I want to the install my original rom 4.1.2, I dowloaded him from your forum but when I transfer on SD Card and open CWM with the button volume up and power key I get the block ( I take picture and she is in attachment). I don't have a root. Can anyone explain me how to fix that, that I can install my original rom with CWM or TWRP. I hope so that You can help me, and sorry if the that thread is duplicate, I'm new here and don't know how it's work. Thanx in advice.
Kind Regards
did you had CWM installed!?
if you want "original" ROM (from LG), install the 4.4.2_V20g version via KDZ install (20g is the best version in my experience).
if you want cwm or twrp to experiment custom roms.... a good start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730501

You need to flash the respective V10x kdz(according to your region). V20 is KitKat. V10 is JellyBean.
I installed a custom kernel, but now I reinstalled the original rom and the moto z does not want to start .
sorry my bad inglish, i from brazil.
Did you do a TWRP system backup and restored it?
If so, dm-verity may have been tripped.
You will have to reinstall the firmware if you don't plan to be using a custom kernel. The full list is here.

Given that your device may be Brazilian, find one with "RETBR". There's one in there.

Hello,
So I received this phone from my uncle to "fix" because it kept showing "Lenovo lockscreen has stopped working" nonstop. Now I want to flash a new ROM to it.
What I know about the phone:
Model -Lenovo P780
Android -4.4.2
Build-P780.V101, 2014/03/12 15:06
VIBEUI_V2.0 1437_7.14 1_ST_P780
Recovery -heweikeji CWM-Recovery v6.0.4.4 Modd by heweikeji_yueyue.
It's a CN rom already flashed custom ( I think )
I want to flash a new ROM for him because this one is really clustered ( even after factory reset tons of unnecessary apps )
My question.
What do I need to flash a new rom to this phone?
What rom should I pick? (he's a regular user ).
Do I need to update recovery?
Need the easiest way out possible.

Look here and read that tutorial about changing your firmware with one still developed.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/row-cn-how-to-check-t3333532/page2
After that go to development area in MIUI section, mirror 9. There are latest custom firmware stable versions with OTA suport.
Good luck.
