can i back up more than 1 rom? let say i backup a 4.1.2 4.3 and 4.4 rom, can i restore them anytime i want to use them?
Why wouldn't you be able to ? Nandroid (CWM) backup = 'snapshot' of the phone at the time you took it.

Yes you can. But for that you have to do lots of restoring. Why not you do dual boot

I had recently installed a custom rom "revolution ICS HD super silk" using cwm recovery
I had flashed a stock extended kernel before installing the rom,
And i had already perfermored the backup using backup and restore in recovery mod.
Now i wana restore the back, and my question is
HOW DO I DO THAT ? Is there any procedure or should i jz enter in recovery mode and go
backup and restore and jz click restore
I am using Live with walkman
Custom rom- Revolution ICS HD(downloaded from developmemt section)
Kernel- stock extended
Bootloader unlocked- yes
Rooted- ofcourse

Yes you can directly restore the backup. But remember that if the backup was of a different android version then you have to flash a kernel too for the backup. If your backup was of ICS and your current rom is also based on stock ICS then you can directly restore the backup
If you backup was of different android version a full wipe too is recommended?

If you have a cwm backup, restore it. If not, download a clean cwm backup from this thread and restore. All instruction are in there ----->

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

Yes you can take back up of your JB if your phone is having root access and recovery installed may be CWM or TWRP. go to recovery and use backup function. :good:
Ok thanks man.
