This is a Backup of the PH1 ROM's system and modem partitions. Excepting the recovery, this is a stock ROM, without the SD card fix or root.
You will need a custom recovery to install this ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/how-to-root-note-3-lollipop-t3089382)
Always perform the appropriate backups and other steps just in case something messes up. If you are on OH1 or OK2, you should be able to just flash and go without any data loss (except root and custom system apps), but no promises.
Extract the folder (ES File Explorer or 7 Zipper) to "extsdcard/TWRP/backups/[serial number]" then boot into recovery and restore the image.
The easiest way to get the recovery folder is to simply make a backup, then extract this folder next to backup you just made.
I didn't factory reset prior to this backup because it's just system partitions, so let me know if there's anything weird.

CWM recovery backup and restore = Nandroid backup
Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.
Features of CWM include:
- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps
- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)
- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file
- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'
Amongst others...
How to install CWM
If you have already rooted your phone using the CF-root Kernel, then you already have CWM! If not, then just install the kernel linked to above in the 'how to root your phone' section
How to make a NANDroid backup using CWMBackups are important because they allow you to restore your ROM incase flashing goes wrong, or you phone starts playing up and displaying wierd bugs.
To make a backup, you need to boot into CWM recovery (done through the 'cwm' app installed onto your phone when you flash the cf-root kernel). Then, you need to navigate down to 'backup/restore' using the volume keys, and select it using the home key. From here, just click 'backup' and you are all set! Leave your phone make the backup (its takes some time) and then just reboot when it tells you its finished. To restore your backup, do the same but instead of clicking backup, click 'restore' instead. Choose which backup you would like to restore and leave the phone to do its magic. Done.
Thanks for your very precise reply.

Hi, all.
I've been reading and searching, but haven't found any info related to my problem.
Prior to upgrading to 4.2.1, I made a NANDROID backup of my Nexus 7 (4.1.2) using mskip's toolkit. The restoration method copies the backup folder to the device (/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/), then boots it into custom recovery. At first I was using TWRP 2, but I think I need to be using CWM, so I flashed CWM Touch. I actually went through the motions again of copying the backup over to the Nexus 7, but CWM Touch doesn't see the backup folder. It returns two messages when attempting to Restore:
1. Couldn't open directory
2. No files found
Same with Advanced Restore.
The folder containing the NANDROID backup and all parent folders are readable/writable/NOT Hidden, according to ES File Explorer, but I wonder about ownership.
I'm rooted with SuperSU 0.99.
Anyone have any suggestions about how to make CWM Touch, TWRP 2 or some manual method recognize and restore a NANDROID backup?
I know I could just flash stock 4.1.2 and start from scratch (I have apps + data backed up), and if it comes to it, I'll do that, but while I have some time, I thought I'd make this a learning experience.
Thanks.

I posted this a few minutes ago. It may be TL;DR, but it's got all the gory details.
I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but in essence, you can use adb to push the NANDROID backup folder to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/, then boot into recovery and CWM will see it.
The weird thing is, after I restored the 4.1.2 factory ROM, rooted, flashed CWM Touch, and then ran a backup from within CWM to create /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ ... /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ was also created. I guess it's a symlink...? Haven't explored that yet, but I seriously doubt the backup data is being duplicated.
Anyway, after pushing my original backup folder to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/, it's also listed under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ That's why I say symlink.
I was able to restore while still running 4.2.1, but /sdcard/0 still had all apps and data there, which is why I decided to just go back to stock 4.1.2 before restoring my 4.1.2 NANDROID backup. Maybe I did something wrong, but I don't think so.
So yeah, the new CWM Touch Recovery is backward compatible. My 4.1.2 backup did NOT use CWM, so no "blobs" and all that. Good news there.
I suppose if you're restoring a 4.2.x backup over a custom ROM based on 4.2.x, but CWM can't see the backup folder under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ just push it to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ and you should be good to go.
Anyone know if a 4.1.2 NANDROID backup can/should be restored over a 4.2..x install? Is the /sdcard/0 problem really a problem. NANDROID doesn't back up /sdcard, correct? I'm guessing it does not.
Boot into recovery w/your tablet plugged into your computer
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
abd pull ./where/your/backup/is/located
adb push ./yourbackup /where/it/needs/tobe
or if you have a jacked rom and cant do anything, you can do what I did
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push ./newrom /sdcard
adb reboot recovery
then wipe and flash your new rom
Do I just go into TWRP/install/choose zip file?
I made a nandroid backup with EFS/Modem backed up as well. If I don't like this rom, just restore everything minus the modem/efs, right?
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 want to ask you about one thing. It is possible to backup current whole rom with installed apps and settings and make it zip file that it is possible to future restore by flashing rom like a custom rom in TWRP?
My phone: Lenovo k3 note (rooted)

yep you can do all of the above, it will backup even the files (photos, videos...) on your device storage and give you a flashable zip that you can restore after and you will get EVRYTHING back to your phone, it's called a NANDROID Backup ... you can do it with a custom recovery such as TWRP indeed
