Well, I am not sure if this is the right place, but I would like to know some points about how to make a back up of my original ROM.
If I use nandroid and try others roms, if I restore my original backup, I could use kies to update the phone?
I ask this because with my last phone, A Samsung Galaxy 3, I install some "oficial" roms, such as XXJPM but it says me that this rom it's not updatable. I guess kies detects that the rom is not offical and it doesn't work.
I also read that I need to change the recovery tool. Now I have the samsung recovery tool, so If I change it, could I update the phone with kies in the future? is it possible to use nandroid with the original recovery tool?
Thanks.

Hi, I recently tried flashing my defy (mb525 from Israel with an Israeli ROM) with Chinese Froyo, flashed the phone and it wouldn't boot, was like that for a while and I tried flashing many versions in hope it would unbrick him, no joy. Long story short now i have a Defy with 2.3.4 (shadow-128, not the fixed version, the undowngradeable version).
I thought maybe finally trying to restore a nandroid backup, but I don't have CWM.
Questions are:
Is there a way to install CWM through a zip file?
Can I restore a Nandroid backup without CWM (or any sort of custom recovery)?
Any other solution that can save my phone?
Thanks Y'all,
hope I will finally unbrick that bastard.
Read this for downgrade and root.

Didn't work, just like all ROMs before, it shows the moto logo, then shows, motoblur, or android or any other animation (depends on the version), and its stuck on that an not starting the phone.
if you now in 2.3.4, cannot downgrade.

it works!
Your device isn't bricked. You only have a bootloop.
Like already said, Downgrade is not possible so you should flash a ROM with your Bootloader-version and make a wipe.
Hi all
I am keen in android dev, but we all need to start somewhere
I have been searching and as my title suggests, all I have found are superuser.zips and rooted roms
for the android devs and rom chefs,
how do I take stock firmware, either as:
a .tar.md5 or
a twrp/cwm recovery backup
and root it?
reason for asking, (although I dont indend this as a specific model issue), I recently restored my Samsung Note LTE to stock JB, then installed CWM and then flashed the superuser.zip, but I didnt get root, installed twrp then su, still no root,
so im thinking either rooting the stock tar.md5 or rooting the recovery backup, might solve the problem
is there any way to restore or extract the backup made with help of samsung kies. i have a rooted galaxy tab 3 311 slimkat rom by android andi. i made a backup before flashing rom with kies in my pc. As kies only work with stock rom, iam not able to restore my apps. So need help
Someone can provide me a Backup to Samsung Galaxy S5 GSM (SM-G900P) with Kitkat 4.4.4?
Did you screw up your phone by flashing something?? If so, just search for a stock rom for your device, and flash that via Odin.
Next time don't forget to make a Nandroid backup
Hello everyone. i was trying to change my old secondary phone's recovery from clockwork to twrp and i messed it up,the phone is a samsung galaxy s3 neo (GT-I9301I), now it boots only in "download mode" i want to use odin and flash a stock rom or (custom rom if possible) on it, i tried getting it from sammobile but it doesn't allow regular downloads anymore, only premium ones, so where can i find a stock flashable rom or any odin-compatible custom rom for my GT-I9301I, except from sammobile???
Forget it. I fixed it by myself, finally i found my phone's stock rom in another website, downloaded it and then flashed it with Odin.
