"let me guess

lol yeah exactely
we have same versions.
BTW it is possible restore a backup using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640 , in restore mode and saving that backup to SD?

install cwm and backup using it.

and are you sure that if I backup via CMW I will be able to restore my stock rom from this backup after I will have tried any other custom rom?
I have already CMW 4 on my system, after a recovery power on, I have selected backup and it putted the backup on sd folder named CMW/backup...I know I can restore it with the restore command, but I am not sure if it will work, or if will BRICK my phone

yes, i myself have used it.

great ty..and I can see on my sd these files :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is this all fine?
There is a way to know if the backup is not corrupted?

image doesnt work...
it must have completed successfully, or it would have shown an error.
back the backup to a safe location on your pc.

backup was fully done, and I ave already saved on my pc...so now may you tell me a couple of very good custom rom without bugs?
last thing...on my backup stock I have my all originals "PDA S5670XWKQA PHONE S5670XWKQ3 CSC S5670ITVKQ3 ANDROID 2.3.4" and I can restore all with CWM ? right? TY for ur patience

IMO,
RazoDroid, Chocobread are the best.
Creed's ROM is kinda good too.

For backup I use Titanium Backup.

and after Titanium how you can restore your stock rom after a custom rom?

After a custom rom, install Titanium Backup, open it, press the left button, select Batch, select All restore and follow instructions.
Previously, when doing a backup, select Backup All apps + data.
To Titanium work system must be rooted.

mmm it seems quite strange...why other people use cmw , wipe cache , dalvik etc? your way seems a lot easy

What's next?

I rooted my phone, I think... I did get these errors:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Goes on for about 30 lines...
Is that normal and safe?
What's next? What do I do from here? I really have no idea what to do or what I can do. Please share any information on the world of a rooted android device

Looks normal to me. It pushed busybox and superuser to system, which means you're rooted and can now run root apps. Just reboot and you're done.

It came with superuser, but what does it do? I did not find busybox. Where can I find it and how does it work? It auto rebooted. Where can I get rooted apps and what else can I do?

You can get rooted apps from the market or just download and flash them. Titanium Backup, Superuser, ROM Manager are examples.
ROM manager will also let you flash clockworkmod recovery, the basic tool for installing new roms/kernels/radios.
Your world is just beginning, really.

There seems to be so much to learn, yet I know so little where to start. Is there a specitic thread you would recommend?

Firstly, there's a different sub-forum for each phone, so find yours' and hopefully they have a good FAQ. Once you've installed cwm, here is a tutorial for installing ROMs on Galaxy Nexus; it should mostly carry over. There's likely more tutorials around google/youtube for your own specific phone.
For titanium backup, always remember to backup user apps ONLY. Never, ever backup system apps or system data, because with custom roms you'll be changing the system. For a "full" (we call it "nandroid") backup use cwm.

I have a Samsung Exhibit. I only see threads on Exhibit II.
Btw, where is the backup user apps ONLY? TB is really confusing.

this is a nand backup done from a custom recovery, restore it in recovery...

SOLVED
i flashed boot.emmc.win
i was just unsure if i could flash it or not (because it was emmc win and not .img)
thanks
(i was getting bootloops trying to restore the default/stock rom, so this is all i needed to do - for others viewing this with similar problem)

confused ?! are you not trying to restore the whole backup cuz flashing the boot.img is not gonna restore your backup but just the kernel really.

The picture isnt showing....
But ur recovery may need to be updated.
Can u flash one of ur backups?
If so, boot up and update ur recovery.
Then just make sure u have correct ROM version for ur phone.
I hope that helps.

There I fixed the picture, but no I cant flash any of my backups because I deleted them for some reason some earlier backup was not working and the second one I delete it by accident. And the roms form my cell I have been getting the right ones from nexusshacks.com and cyanogen website. I was thinking in something more like pushing the rom thru a computers comand prompt thast my next step.

I found some tutorial in order to push the rom with command prompt but it's not working neither. does any of you know why not or if I'm doing something wrong here the link of the tutorial and at the end I posted whats what the command prompt came up with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

Do you consider updating your recovery and rom?

My next step will be using the odin called tool for restoring everything. I'll let you know how it goes.

No SD card

Please help... I have flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goog...eview-t2796003 with the recovery method and now I can´t see my files because the mobile sais that I don´t have SD Card. I tried this to solve it using this:
Got "No SDCard" error?
This is because 4.4.x seems to point to: storage/emulated/0 & L points to: data/media/0
Solution:
- Mount system in TWRP/CWM
- Wipe system, dalvik, data, cache
- Unmount system
- Install ROM
- Factory reset
- Reboot
- Go back to recovery & flash SuperSU (link above).
- Reboot
But doing that I only can see the folders, but when I enter in them it doesnt show any file
When I try to restore the nandroid backup that i make before install Android L I cant see the file on TWRP so I can´t restore it... How can I come back to KitKat?

It was mentioned on another thread but I don't remember by whom so can't give proper credit but from a terminal emulator on your phone run
su
storecon -r /data/media/0/*
See if that works

The first time I flashed L I had the same problem. Are you trying to get back to 4.4.4? You're going to lose all data on your device flashing back

Ok, I get back to 4.4.4 by flashing again my ROM and once I did that, I could be able to see files on the KitKat storage, I moved the nandroid to the L storage and I restored it. But now I have the problem that now I have two different storages (The L´s one it´s the preset) How could I change the storage now? restorecon -r... What else?
