Hi is is safe to flash stock roms with odin.
can the imei be erased flashing a stock roms?
if so, how can i prevent it?
back up efs with k tools or one of the other backup tools before doing anything, then copy backup to computer/dropbox/flash drive....as many places as you can!
Odin much safer than kies, straight forward to use, just make sure you know what you are doing before proceeding
Odin is the best! Go ahead, you will have no problems if you know how to flash correct.
Be sure to backup efs in first place.
It is better to be safe than sorry.
Is there any way to copy EFS folder without root? from pc or something?
i want to stay stock.
As far as I know, there isn't. You have to root and then use something like EFS backup pro for efs folder backup.

You need root access to backup the efs folder.
Ok, I'm rooted and backing up like crazy. But I was wondering if you could batch backup selected apps, like games? Things that you would want to restore data to. Or even select what apps to restore data to when restoring from a batch backup of all apps? Otherwise the only way would be to is to individually backup the ones you want to data for.
Thank you

think i've figured out a method of attack
ok, my plan.
Back up all the apps i think i need to back up for whatever reason.
Then do a back up of everything in one batch file, that way I have something to go back to the original way. hopefully won't have to.
Install a rom, and go about intalling what i want from the backups. think there may be some i won't need to install from the back up, can just do it from the play store.
guess i'll find out.
solved
just tried the batch back up. i see you can select the apps and stuff you want to back up. got it now.
Just remember to never restore system apps from one ROM to another. Batch backup on Titanium is only available on the Pro version, I believe. I bought it so long ago, hard to remember "not" restoring /backing up in batches!

Yes, batch is only in the pro version. Are the system apps displayed in red, or what color? also, when backing up the stock rom, what partitions should I select? I saw Ohmster said in his guide, when backing up the rom you install to not select the webtop and cache. I selected all of them, android secure(i think), cache, data, webtop, and there was another (5 partitions all together). And I forgot to enable compression. Plan on doing it again later tonight before I flash a rom.
Thank you
System apps are displayed in red on TiBu. When I plan on using a new ROM, I go to TiBu and do a "backup all user apps and system data".
Then I boot to safestrap recovery, and back up the entire ROM. Everything. If I don't have room, I delete older backups, as I have them on PC. Then I either make a new slot or wipe current one to install new ROM. After new ROM boots, I use TiBu to batch restore apps with out data first, then apps with data. Not all apps need data restored, such as Internet based games like words with friends. I just reinstall that, and fix my preferences from the app.
Then I use TiBu to batch move apps to SD card.
Titanium Backup on Lollipop
It seems like TB 6.1.5.6 can't get root right on Android L. I have no problem with KK. Anyone have got this problem like me?

Titanium Backup on Lollipop
Okay. I've flashed the newest version of SuperSU. But your Titanium version needs to be >= 6.2 to work properly on Lollipop (CyanogenMod Unof 01-24).
I have the phone rooted, but I don't think there is any custom firmware (CWM/TWRP) for it where I could do a nandroid backup.
I can't find a way to flash the stock ROM either on the Vodafone site. I want to delete some apps from /system/app but I'm worried I might soft brick it, and if I do, there's no way to restore it. If I delete/move some of the wrong APKs from that folder, "restore factory settings" won't work if it enters a boot loop, will it?
Can I take a Nandroid backup without a custom recovery (through fastboot/ADB)?
Thanks in advance
The app "Partitions Backup & Restore" from play store can back up all your partitions. But you can only restore small size partitons with it like recovery.
I made a backup with the LG app on the stock rom (4.1) then upgraded to 5.1.1 , witch give me the option to restore my contacts after installation. Now i have a 4.4.4 Rom (because 5.1.1 was to laggy) but i cant find a way to restore them, i tried several backup apps and tried to import contacts from SD but says it cant scan the SD card :"Error I/O".
I also have a complete TWRP backup if that can help .
This was my first attempt at flashing Rom and i am total noob.
Is there a app that can restore the original LG Backup file (.sbf) or a way to install the original app on my new ROM, or some other method maybe ?
use titanium backup pro it has an option to solve your problems
Keep all your contacts in your Google account, then they'll automatically import when you log in.

Go back to oringinal firmware, restore backup, then export it to sd.
i read in many threads now that tw is only designed for same device restore
i didnt know that
can i use a root browser or similar to extract my old apps amnd (data) and migrate to g5 because i really need it... lg g4 is sold :cyclops:
which files excactly are needed ( data.ext4 for example??)
if you have root, use simply titanium backup to restoe Apps with data. But restore device settings is a big risk. Set it manually and dont restore it you can restore a many systemapps, but dont restore app and data, restore data only...
