Ya....you can easily backup & restore Boot.img(Kernel) from TWRP.
Have look it up....
When you are trying kernels which are not supported for your device you will be bricked .Then to unbrick your device just restore stock kernel ...no need to flash stock rom. :thumbup:

You can install ROM Manager from PlayStore and use Clockworkmod to backup your ROM. Or you could also backup your rom by entering your device's recovery. You can trigger it by pressing a specific combination (Volume Up, Volume Down or both alternatively - depends on your device) of buttons while the device is switching on.
You can find elaborate explanations here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587607
Hope I helped.
In a nutshell, what you are looking for is called a making nandroid backup. There are many programs which can accomplish this. My favorite is 4EXT recovery, which you can download from the play store. It does require you have root to install 4EXT! After you have a program such as 4EXT or ClockworkMod which can make nandroid backups, then you can save them and restore them in the future. This is how you can return your phone to the exact way it was when you make the backup.
thank you for advising me 4EXT recovery and ROM Manager.
What about titanium backup?
i made a backup(i hope so) by Titanium backup, by selecting the option "Backup all user apps and system data".
my questions are:
1) is that enough for back up?
2) how can i restore it after installing a new rom?
3) in between the process of installing if my phone become dead or blank how it will possible to access titanium backup?
oh its so much complicated. plz any developer help me.
thanks in advance.
installed ROM Manager Premium v5.0.2.7
if select
1) "Flash CWM Recovery"
asks to confirm ph model-> select iris 454 -> says "it does not have an official supported CWM yet. Have u installed a cwm based recovery manually?" -> if i select "yes," 2 option comes for confirm version cmw 2.x and cmw 3.x -> after selecting one of those nothing happen.
2) Backup current ROM
displays "new backup name..." -> if i click OK the system reboot. -> in reboot process an android symbol comes and suddenly it lay down like a wounded man. -> system hangs ->only removing battery makes it solve.
Yes, that's enough backup. You have backed up all your system data and applications. So you can restore your phone's last known working state.
After installing a new ROM, you can download Titanium Backup from PlayStore and use it to restore everything.
Note: Some ROM's don't have PlayStore available in their package in which case you'd have to download the gapps package separately and flash it too while flashing the ROM.
You cannot use Titanium Backup if your phone doesn't come alive. You'd have to restore the stock ROM or flash some other known-to-be-working ROM. You can then restore your stuff.

I've never used a nandroid backup, I usually do a backup with go backup (sms,phone log,wifi passwords and apps with preferences) which is an easy and intuitive app. If something fails i have a tested rom which i flash before do anything else.
Why it's better to do a nandroid backup and not just this??

thnx dear.
titanium backup is enough for me.
but now what about" if your phone doesn't come alive"? how should i restore the stock ROM if it is unavailable?
can i make stock rom or make a back up of stock rom? how?
Sewrizer said:
this means that your device is not supported by CWM recovery so there is not much to do, unless your stock recovery can perform the same tasks as CWM. for instance sgs2 recovery mode only allows you to install zip and to wipe cache and factory reset.
On the other hand there is a risky method you may try but i am not sure whether it would work. Install odin on your PC or mobile odin on your device and look for a kernel which has CWM recovery in it. THIS IS A RISKY OPERATION SO THINK BEFORE YOU DO THIS. I'm saying this because i bricked my sgs2 and the only way i could make it work was to restore, but again, you need CWM to restore. good luck.
hit thanks if i helped or reply/ send me a PM if you need further details.

You can find the entire procedure for backing up your Stock ROM here: http://androidadvices.com/backup-stock-rom-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
In order to restore Stock ROM, turn off your phone, boot your phone into recovery and use the restore option in the screen you see.

Can you put your phone in recovery mode? I if so, take a picture of it and post it in a reply.

Hey guys, is there a way to just Flash a stock Boost ROM instead of having to flash the stock firmware using PC?

From what I've found, this is the only flashable stock ROM:
http://androidforums.com/cdma-moto-...k-4-4-2-deodexed-unmodified-boost-mobile.html
I haven't tried flashing it, myself - when I need to go stock, I just flash the stock firmware via PC.
:good:
Thanks, will there be problems going from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2?

I couldn't tell you, to be honest.
Make a Nandroid, and if the flash fails, or you encounter issues, restore your backup.
Ok thanks, the last time I made a backup and did a wipe for the phone, my backup also go deleted. Does it only do that on TWP?

I use this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583
I haven't used TWRP on this device, so I couldn't tell you with complete certainty. PhilZ's recovery has an option to clean your device for flashing a new ROM (wipes data, system, dalvik, & cache). SD contents will remain untouched.
OK thanks very much

I have had this problem also, as far as i am aware you can only recover the stock rom by flashing the stock recovery with "Multi tool" and then fresh installing the stock rom using the update.app in dload folder method. Correct me if im wrong as i also would like to be able to back up my B390 rom on my L04.

If you have custom recovery installed on your phone then backup boot partition on your external SD card. I recommend full nandroid backup before making any changes in your phone.
hello all. i am a poco x2 user. i am using twrp (3.4.2b-0624) and 12,0.1 stable. now i often change my rom to custom roms. so i need to restore back my best setup rom. which partitions only should i backup from twrp? so that i perfectly restore my previous rom? previously i used htc m9, oneplus3t, those devices were ok with twrp backup and restore rom such as data+system partitions. but, with poco x2, i can see that the system partition is not there in twrp .besides there is SUPER partition.and i found that its huge in size and cannot copy /restore again.. please i need some proper understanding about this new thing in android 10. thanks in advance
We don't have so far TWRP for Poco X2 that is able to do proper backup. And then to restore they is another thing. You have to have hope and wait for official TWRP

Use migrate app to quickly restore your apps and data.. nandroid backup is dead in Android 10.
The TWRP has some bugs. You won't be able to use the restore function to restore the rom. It's better to download the fastboot rom or the recovery rom for the device. Better to be safe than to panic later when TWRP restore won't work.
