Hi,
I want to put a new room on my phone.
Is it possiable to backup the currect rom in case i would like to go back to it?
Thanks a lot
Yes, before flashing your new rom, you'll have to boot into your Custom Recovery. Then select Nandroid back-up. This will back-up your current rom completely and allows you to go back to it, no matter what.

Once a week i backup my ROM after downloading updates for apps and delete the previous backup, always back it up via the CWM app,takes about 5 minutes
r u talking about CWM back up option?
if i want to get back to the previus rom, all i got to do is get into CWM and chose restore and the old rom will apear? (should i wipe something?)

that's the one, don't wipe anything if you don't want to.
didn't imagine it would be so simple, thats why i didn't changed the rom yet.
Thank u
I've just rooted my device....first time ever, and just going through many of the lists of things to install and do. ROM Manager seems to be mentioned on every site. I installed it, was going to try and make a nandroid backup before I venture into flashing a custom ROM. First off, when I try to put in my Recovery Setup, I dont see the Galaxy S4 in the list of phones. Right now it just says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x
I thought this was correct, but when I go to "Reboot into Recovery" and try to make a backup....there is no option to make a backup on the startup list.
I've never used ROM manager before....have no idea what I need to change as I cant even find any GS4 listed. I was assuming I set it up incorrectly and thats why I couldnt backup. Anyone know what might be going on here?
Any help here? I'm confused, to get ClockworkMod Recovery to install....you install ROM Manager correct? I've uninstalled ClockworkMod ROM Manager and reinstalled it, still dont have the option to select a GS4 and no option to make a backup when in recovery mode. I do need to use this to make a recovery of my phone if I flash a new ROM and want to go back correct?
Every video I've seen of people setting this up on their GS4, find a GS4 on the phone list....why dont I see one? Is there another component needed to use this properly?

The current build of cwm recovery for this phone is not supported through rom manager. This phones recoverys are loki patched to bybass bootloader. Easiest way to install cwm is via my all in one tool in yhe development section. If you are already rooted choose preo for recovery step then install cwm steo. Full instructions and things to watch for are in the 1st post

Ok so its not me...I thought I was going crazy here. Thank you so much!
BTW, does ROM Manager need to stay on the phone to do this? (sorry noob here)
I did as you said, everything went fine....but when I reboot in recovery, I still have no option to make a backup. This is the proper procedure to make a backup of your phone before flashing a custom ROM right, or am I going about this the wrong way? I want to make sure I cover my butt if I dont like one or screw it up.

I got it to work, I had uninstalled ROM Manager before doing this install method because I thought it was useless....didnt realize that it was needed to load the proper recovery. I'm all good now.....so far =)
I got it to work and am able to backup to the internal SD, but I cant seem to get it to backup to my extSD. Every time I choose external, I get "Cant mount /external_sd" "Cant mount backup path" Using a 64gb Samsung card if it helps....
Thanks again!
Lol. It won't back up ext sd because you don't have that partition..you're all good

I have the sch-i605 rooted with Adam outlers casual root... So I have super such, twrp, and boot loader unlocked. I made a recover backup in twrp and wiped the necessary files and flashed carbon job 4.2.2 ROM.. I got it all setup and it seems to be pretty stable so far. Downloaded additional apps that I want and thought to myself that maybe I should save a recovery of this ROM the way it is so that I could have two recoveries to choose from.. Figured if anything went wrongi could flash back to my stock rom or ifi wanted to flash another custom rom and then go back to my carbon rom setup the way I have iti could easily flash back to it.. So I did another backup thinking I would end up with two backups in my twrp/backups for but when I went there I only had the most recent one (carbon not stock backup)... It's not a huge deal right now cause carbon is working pretty well, but I feel a little in easy that I don't have my stock backup....
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated... Could I use Odin and flash the stock image in download mode or would that in root me? Etc.
Did you backup the rom the first time? You say you backed up the recovery.

I made 2 TWRP backups and didn't see them at first when I pressed the Restore button, but then I pressed the "Storage:..." label under the screen heading title and was able to change the location. After I did that I was able to see my 2 backups. Maybe you'll find your first backup at some other location.

unfortunately this wasn't the case for me... i used file manager and es file explorer and i only have one twrp file and its the one that has the carbon rom backup not the stock....
so i remember i had a soft brick once while trying to get adam outlers casual root to work.... i downloaded a stock android 4.1.2 md5 file and .pit file and put the phone into download mode and use the odin app to flash those two files.... so i know if need be i could do that probably again to get back to stock, BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I WOULD STILL BE ROOTED? (IE.. BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, SUPER SU, TWRP, ANDALL THAT??)

If you have TWRP it will be the recovery that is there when you boot into recovery (ie. Vol up, Home, Power)
If you have root you will either see the root app in your apps or you can use the root checker app in the market.
If you use those files to go back to stock though you will not have root, be unlocked, or have TWRP. The only way to be rooted when going back to stock is to use root66 as the ROM instead of 4.1.2.
Also, WHY THE HELL IS THE LAST SENTENCE ALL IN ****ING CAPS?

Hi,
I am trying to install a rom on my n7100 for a second time. Trying to move from DN3 to SOKP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700230).
I'm making a clean install. However, while installing from zip I'm getting a status 7 error. I researched all around and found that it is mostly because of the assert section. So i removed it and tried; same error.
I had philz recovery installed, moved to cwm, still same error.
Then I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605730 , where someone flashed original firmware and then flashed new rom; did that, same error.
Tried toggling signature verification; same error.
Now my installation screen looked like this. Can anyone help me with it? I really dont know whats happening.

Delete some apps or unwanted ringtones from the rom zip then flash the rom..
try to use newest Milestone from SOKP, where is the file saved, on sd-card or internal memory ?
Make sure the ROM zip is completely downloaded/ copies to ur SD card .. An incomplete zip is a common cause of this error, also make sure u're on the latest version of whatever recovery u're using

Thank you guys for your help. yes jinayhvora I used the newer recovery and it worked like a charm.
However latest is not always better as last time while installing DN3 I couldnt get past the terms and condition. Then I downgraded to a previous version of philz recovery and it worked.
There is another problem though, when I restore the nandroid of DN3, it works fine, but when I restore backup of stock, I cant get past the samsung logo.
I thought the backup might be corrupt, but I re-flashed the stock firmware and took its backup; same problem.
Any ideas?
It DOES say in the Installation Instructions that they recommend using TWRP. There's usually a reason why when they say that.

You flashed the stock then restored its backup? and still got stuck? well then maybe, it really is corrupted
Are you using TWRP or CWM now? Try wiping caches after restore. But I dunno DN3 refers to either. Is that stock based or other?

Well, what I mean by this is: I flashed the stock firmware, rooted it, and then took a nandroid backup. I wanted to see if the problem was with restoring the previous copy I have, or with restoring the stock firmware in general.
And when I restored it after a wipe, it still got stuck at the samsung logo. So the problem is with restoring the stock firmware, which is weird. I was using the latest philz recovery, and the stock firmware was 4.3

because the backup was made in philz. From what I know, CWM and TWRP have different kind of backup files which cant be restored by the other.. let me know if I'm wrong..
Should I use TWRP to backup now.. You think it'll work better than philz?

sorry didnt see this post earlier.. I'm on philz, DN3 is ditto note 3 rom that I was using; it is stock based.
The backups are not compatible between the 2, but obviously this version of Philz isn't cooperating like it should and since the developer's for DU suggested TWRP, seems like that's next logical step in troubleshooting issues with backing up and restoring in general.

Agreed.. Just to put it out there.. the first backup I made was through Online nandroid manager app, and the second one through philz..
I'll install and use twrp the next time I'm on stock... which I dont think i will be for a long time btw.. enjoying the irresistible ROMs out there

Ah. Never used the Online Nandroid one. Never saw the point and trust the actual recovery to be able to backup better. Less chance of issues.

1: Search "Sunshine" in your browser and go to the website .
2: Download the Sunshine apk and install it
3: after installing it on your device go ahead and open it,the app will let you know if it is compatible or not .(if it's compatible than accept payment type and continue the process ,its worth the $25 for a great nights sleep)
If it states its not compatible than you may want to flash a stock based sense ROM and run the app again

By the way how did you convert to GPE without already having S-off ?
Anything I read states you must be S-off to convert from one to the other.

If your overall goal is S-off
Use your first stock backup or download a stock backup and make sure it's rooted.
It should be version 4.4.2 (1.58 firmware) stock kernel and run Sunshine again

do i flash it like any rom?
Most backups you download need to be extracted and placed in your TWRP/BACKUP directory and restored like a normal restore .if its your backup you made than wipe data/factory reset from custom recovery and restore the backup of choice ,when finished restoring than reboot system and that should do it
Just as a reference how to guide.the below link is an HTC one but not our m8.either way its going to work the same.

Edit: I got my recovery img and backup from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Not yet,you need to extract it first .go to extraction location and move the numbered folder over to your TWRP/backup folder.than boot to recovery and make sure its in your restore location before doing a wipe and restore.

this is what the thread says to do. Where is the boot.img?
Q : How do i restore the stock nandroid backup
A : In general :
- Place the nandroid backup unpacked on the sdcard of the phone in the right backup folder
* Philz touch uses - Clockworkmod\Backups\
* TWRP uses - TWRP\Backups\ or TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ (replace serialnum with your device's serial number. To have TWRP create the proper directory structure for you, just do a simple backup of just the boot partition and put the backup files in there) thanks to garyd9 for the additional info
- Flash the boot.img or boot.emmc.win file from the nandroid backup
- Make a full wipe in the recovery
- Restore the nandroid backup and reboot
