Hi there,
I currently have AOSP Neat Rom Android version 4.4.4 on the i9100 device. I am considering the option to restore my nandroid backup of Android version 2.3.3 made in ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2. However, I cannot find the firmware that matches the CSC I9100OZSKF4 here:
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/rom-guide-official-i9100-firmwares-lpe-t1075278]
I also tried looking on samfirmware.com/samsung-updates.com/androidfirmwares.net/sammobile.com but I cannot find a match. Some links are invalid now on the xda thread including the one for ZSKF4.
This is what *#1234# showed before I flashed the custom rom:
PDA: I9100ZSKF4
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100OZSKF4
I want to go back to exactly this firmware with my nandroid backup of all apps/data/logs. All back ups are saved on computer and can be transferred into the phone via selecting MTP.
I thought of these options but I am not sure which is best or correct in my situation:
(1) If there is a restore to factory settings option in the recovery or settings, do I use it? Then re-root the device in android 2.3.3 and restore backup using clockworkmod included with the root files?
(2) Or if restoring to the original stock rom (factory settings) is not an option, do I find the closest GB firmware to what I want and flash it using Odin?
I also looked here for help but only JB/ICS is mentioned:
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701]
(3) I have Team Win Recovery Project v2.7.1.0 currently for AOSP Neat Rom. Because my backup file is made in ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2, I have to flash CWM before I can restore. I am not sure if I can even use the newest CWM to restore an old CWM backup. I am not sure if this is the best way and am very troubled.
I posted some questions already in this thread "[Q&A][SGS2][Newbies][Experienced Users][RCs] New members friendly Q&A thread". I was thinking this might be a more general question about restoring to stock rom and thought I can also ask here as well to get some insights on where to research next or at least get a confirmation that my thought process is on the right track.
Thank you so much for your time. I have been quite frantic due to the issues I encountered, so please forgive my constant posts.

Good day all. I have scoured the net for a custom recovery for the Lenovo A7-30 (A3300) 7" tablet PC. The device comes with a standard recovery and as such I am not able to do restore Nandroid backups. (I have loaded and created backups with Online Nandroid manager but with no custom recovery can not restore them.) I have tried to see if there is a way to load a generic custom recovery but am not able to find anything relating. Do you know if there are any threads relating?
Chipset for the device is MTK8382.
Thank you for your help and time.
Hi there,
Thank you for posting here, but XDA Assist help you to find the right place to post or read your questions/answers.
And if I see right you already find the right place and post it your question in general forum here:
General discussion > Questions and Answers > Lenovo A3300 CWM or TWRP
So, best choice is to wait there an answer because on XDA forum I don't find any related thread to your question.
Good luck
Sincere apologies, I realized this after posting but thought I had deleted this post. If possible please could OP delete it?
Simple one question:
How to factory reset my phone from recovery mode (i need new files for system :/)
or
How to put something on sdcard from my computer?

I flashed my alcatel 4030d. Unfortunately most likely the modem and the radio for the custom rom is not tailored for my region. Therefore I must restore the old modem.img in order to have 3g. However I don't know how to flash the stock rom modem.img. Any advice?
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately it looks as though you've gone against the great advice you were given by one of my experienced colleagues in this thread, and now you're stuck in a situation where you may not be able to recover fully. I'm not sure why you'd do that, you came to XDA Assist looking for the advice of experts, and you were warned about what might happen.
There is no dedicated device section for this phone so coming across the stock modem is going to be difficult to say the least. I'd suggest you do your darndest to search for what you need, but your chances are pretty slim. You could always ask your question in the general q&a section if your searching doesn't prove to be fruitful.

Hey Guys! So here's my problem today... You see my friend wanted a new ROM for his galaxy Y. And I, being a geek; accepted. Now when I flashed CWM, it worked fine at first but when I tried to reboot it at the CWM menu it says "Root access is missing. Root device. THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE." and there are 2 options either "-No" or "Yes - Root device (/system/xbin.".. Now, no matter what I choose it still wont boot up completely and open CWM. How do I fix this??? I don't want to ruin my friends new phone!! HELP!
It's title is "CWM-based recovery V6.0.5.3"
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
You should be asking your question in the device specific forum or in the forum for the Rom you are using. In most Development sections of each device specific forum you will find a thread on recoveries you can also ask in there or in the Q&A section for the device.

Thank you and good luck

P.S. I will tell you that you should have selected NO when it first asked you if the device was already rooted, which it must have been since you installed custom recovery.
ok so i'm no stranger to flashing roms ive done it on multiple devices but this is the first time ive come across something like this. I have an LG G2 and I tried out a nougat rom but wanted to go back to cloudyg2 so I did my usual thing, wipe everything, install rom and reboot except when it rebooted it went back into twrp recovery for some reason. I tried about 6 other roms with no result. I also tried downgrading my twrp but that didn't help. I have no backups so I need help, would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
