I was quite disappointed by not getting a reply to my questions in my phone section so i decided to post it here, hope you guys'll help me out.
Before i perform flashing a rom, i have a couple of questions to ask you.
1. I'm not familiar with nandroid backup and all that. So if someone can give me some explaination of how it works and what i need to do to have a backup of my rom so i can flash back to orignal one whenever i want?
2. Also i heard from people that after flashing some ROMs, you can't get back to stock rom (recovery), if so then how you know that certain rom isn't flashable
3. Is there a difference between recovering (flashing stock rom) and downgrading? if so then what?
4. How can one brick cellphone and how to recover back, is it easy to brick?
Also some basics if i need to know so that i don't brick my cellphone and can easily get back to my official rom whenever i want. Please do tell me anything which i should know, Thanks !
Im currently trying to return my Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 and i currently have a 4.3 Pacman custom rom flashed on it and i was wondering how i can return my phone to the stock rom when i first got my phone without bricking it. I've been doing a bit of research and I'm looking for the best way to return my phone to the stock rom. Should i do it with Odin or flash it through TWRP (is that even possible?)
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Thank you!

Hi!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105P and I want to install the ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-plus/development/rom-unofficial-dirty-unicorns-t2794590
The issue is that I can't follow the instructions as they aren't too specific for beginners.
My phone is on 4.2.2 and I have never done anything to it - It's official (not modified or custom). I understand that the warranty will be void after I do something like installing a ROM.
If someone could explain the steps in a more detailed fashion so I could finish this process I'd be very happy. If there is something else that I need to show you in order to proceed, please let me know.
Thank you.
I rooted my phone using Kingo. After that it said it was successful but I got stuck on bootloop. I am new to this and I don't know the procedure on fixing this. Pls help. I don't know the meaning of stock rom, flashing, odin etc so I really need help. Thanks

Dude, When you stuck on Bootloop . There is only one option left to start you device again and that is flashing stock rom. Since you don't know what is Flashing ,Stock rom etc , here is short guide.
*Flashing (like wearing cloths)means that loads a software or rom again.
*Stock rom means that rom which is official made by manufacturer. Like Samsung have touchwiz rom, Htc have sense rom.
*Odin is a software which is use to flashing stock rom of Samsung Galaxy phones.
When you understand this things you're goto this link and start your phone's life again.

Hey first time posting on xda devs and would like to know how to unlock bootloader, root the phone, and install custom ROM.
Now I have spent entire day backing up and searching the different people root but if someone can help me and point me in the right direction that would be great.
So I have a S3 from ATT Model: SGH-I747, Version: 4.1.2 JellyBean, BaseBand Version: I747UCDMG2, Kernel: 3.0.31 - 1300972. It is a stock ROM, I have never done anything to the phone at all before.
Now I will admit I followed a youtube video call "How to Root AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747!" by High on Android and I did everything in the video. I used odin v1.85, I did the PDA to the CWM.tar file, phone rebooted and I added the CWM superuser file and that is when I tried to get to CWM recovery mode and all I got was the phone's default recovery mode and not the CWM one.
From what I understand I believe I need to unlock bootloader first, but again this is a my first doing this and I hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Forum post state that you should follow guides that is exactly the same to the phone you would like to install custom ROMs.
Honestly I would like to ultimately be able to install a recovery mode that works with my phone that I am able to create snapshot image of my stock phone in case anything happens or I would like to go back to my stock image (which I highly doubt if everything goes fine) and install a custom ROM (I know there are different ROMs if someone can point me to where I can check out all the custom ROMs and not necessarily install those custom ROMs that would be awesome) and finally get rid of ATT loading screen when booting up the phone and install a custom boot loading screen, but of course I care more about getting the custom ROM install first.
If anyone can help that would be great.
