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

Hello, everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and would like to install a custom rom on it, but before I do that, I need some clarification about backup, just in case I feel a need to change back to the default rom.
I downloaded and purchased Titanium Backup and did a ''Backup all user apps + system data'' on it, this is saved on both my SD card and on my PC.
I also downloaded ROM Manager and did a backup via the Recovery mode, this is saved on both my SD card and on my PC as well.
My question is, if I now download and install a custom rom on my phone but end up not liking it, will I be able to use this backup to get my phone to the exact state as it is in now? All my apps, contacts, settings etc?
Thank you.
you can restore everything back to the way it was except the modem. so if u do flash a different fw and want to go back take Note of modem and when u restore old Rom flash back modem via recovery and all should be good

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?
hi guys.
this is my first post. first off thanks to all of you out there who have helped me root 3 different devices and install custom roms on 2 of them.
my third device is my gti9300 phone.
i have rooted and installed twrp but before i install a custom rom i made a back up of my efs files using ktool. after backing up the files i ran the check.
under sdcard/efs.img found section everything checks out 100%
under sdcard/efs.tar.gz found i get the message /!\nv_data.bin NOT FOUND in back up!!!
in my files/device storage the files have been created
could any tell me if the back up i have created will work. dont want to flash a rom until i am sure
the phone works fine and the emei number appears as it should in the phones status menu
hope someone can help
thanks
If in doubt then make other backups, philz recovery custom backup, copy and paste efs contents etc.
You can't have too many backups of your efs, store them on your pc and cloud storage.

More than one backup of EFS is best .Save one on your PC .
thanks for the advice guys.
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.
