Hopefully I'm posting in the right section here.
I'm trying to downgrade (flash an older version) one Oppo r7 plus for the purpose of maybe getting the fastboot back and hopefully successfully rooting the phone.
"What's the best way to backup?"
Specially since TWRP is out of the question.Where I could recover after wiping and if flash doesn't succeed.
On top of my head I just know of titanium which im not sure if it will fully backup non rooted phones and a backup app which comes stock with the phone but keeps freezing the phone. I'd like to start trying em out but I thought I can get better ideas here.
Thanks in advance for any kind help.

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 !
Hi, guys I'm new to android phones...but I'd love to know more about them and about these custom roms...so the point is that I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519448 and I don't know how to start ... I have a LG L5 E610 and the default ROM is a little slow...I need to mention that my phone isn't rooted...is brand new...so pls can you help me...I searched the Internet but I founded so many things and I'm kind of mix up...
Go to this subforum for your phone and read up on what's needed.

The procedure varies slightly from phone to phone but you first need to unlock your bootloader (the first unlock will wipe any data you have stored on the phone, make sure you backup first)
And most importantly don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you need, we were all noobs once
Also, once you got a custom recovery installed, make sure you do a full backup before experimenting, that way you always can get back to a working device no matter what happens.
Good luck and enjoy.

Hi XDA developers I am scratching my head over this one stupid mistake I made because of my habit of fiddling with my new phones. I have a Huawei Ascend g-630 U-10 I recently rooted it by an application called Root genius It went Ok but maybe some file got corrupted down the line and now it's stuck on the boot loop now my phone comes with a fixed battery so i can't take out the battery and try that so i did a hard reset which was of no use then i downloaded some stock roms so that i could flash them but now it seems that OTA updates are not possible on my phone because of the root now i think the only logical solution seems to unroot the phone and then flash it with a custom rom but HOW??? How to un-root it?
I am very frustrated because of this plz help

Hey all this will seems to be quite an odd thread to all. but its been long i have been using generic HTC one S and i know this site very well since i bought my phone 3 years ago!
Very well, I need to know some basic stuff so i can get perfect mod and upgraded without making it available for my younger brother to play with it by throwing it on wall.
So a good help will be really appreciated.
Only couple of questions:
1. Best ROM that support Indian HTC one S models.
2. Best and 100% working method to get this done successfully.
3. Any way i can backup the generic ROM and framework and get things moving ?
please don't get angry on me, just help me to get my phone renovated.
Thanks XDA

Hi there,
Im a One S user, so PM me if you need anything or reply to this thread so everyone can see
Answers:
1) This matters on opinion, but I would recommend cyanogenmod 11 (or 12.1 as Lollipop). Don't do this yet, see answer 3 to back up.
2) I would just follow my next answer here but if you need a detailed reply, reply back.
3) Unlock bootloader, quite easy, and S-OFF first, in case you lose any data. Any music/pics/etc pls transfer to pc first . Then, after S-OFF (or unlocked bootloader) install a custom recovery TWRP by getting the img file, booting to FASTBOOT mode (If you are on stock OS then go to Settings -> Power -> Uncheck fast boot (This will allow you to boot into fastboot)) .
Then, if that's all succesfull, the rest is easy . Download a new rom (like my answer 1 suggests, CM11 or CM12.1) then flash it . I highly recommend making a nandroid backup in TWRP after this is done transfer to PC. With TWRP 2.8.7.0 you can enable MTP mode in recovery, and then transfer whole TWRP folder to PC. Then, give a full wipe twice for all partition in TWRP (except for USB-OTG obviously).
Any more questions please contact me or reply to this thread, thanks.
Hello everyone, I have recently bought my new phone Blu Pure XL and I rooted it successfully. So as things go on I accidentally uninstall Xposed .apk and I flashed the Xposed Framework again (Which was a huge mistake); My phone would be stuck on the 2nd Boot Blu Logo screen and I read to wipe the cache. When that didn't work I just wiped everything, but.... *Sigh* Thats when things went beyond my realm of understanding. My phonr won't let me factory reset it because basically nothing is mounted.
As seen here: (make sure the "H" is connected with the "T".)

Thanks!

Thank you so much for providing this possible solution for me and I will try it out right now! I've come across this thread many of times, but I've overlooked it because it said nothing about important folders being unmounted.
Thanks!
This will definitely work... all the info you need is in that thread; read it; then read it some more, then read it one more time... then go ahead and read it again lol...
SP flash tool is your friend;
although I have few idea on possibly easier solutions (no sp flash learning curve lol)
look into flashing TWRP 2.8 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/development/twrp-twrp-blu-pure-xl-allview-x2-xtreme-t3269596 using fastboot;
then you maybe can flash the BLU ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/rom-blu-pure-xl-stock-rom-t3382722 and hope it fixes your issue (if you already have twrp make sure u are using 2.8; 3.0+ has issues with partition corruption (kinda sounds like what happened to you)
if your partition table is messed up follow the unbrick thread especially the section about flashing the condor COMPLETE rom via fastboot then reflashing to BLU (the condor ROM flash fixes the partitions so you can flash the BLU stuff)
Wish you luck and once again READ (I can be kind of an ass when it comes to questions asked without research, just FYI lol, but I do try to help those who help themselves!)
