Hi i have restored my Nandroid backup i need stock recovery
i have search everywhere can't find it
They don't exist. Flash a stock firmware to return your device to stock and go from there. Beware that flashing a nandroid backup may be the last thing that phone ever does. Sometimes it's best to just start fresh.

My mom and I both have the same exact phone. I installed ARHD on her's a while back but I'm now having a better experience with MIUI and I think she'd like this ROM as well.
My question is, if I superwipe her phone, and flash the required firmware can I take a recent Recovery backup off my phone and transfer it to her phone then restore her phone with that backup?
This (in theory) would eliminate most of the setup and "retraining" of the phone which drives her nuts. All she would need to do is delete my email and add her own.
As long as you did the superwipe, and firmware and the radio is compatible with MIUI it should work. One thing to consider is that when you do put your backup on her phone you will have to run the setup again. But as always, run and Nandroid backup and you will be good.

Well, all that being said. What I'd probably do is superwipe, flash FW, Flash Rom, flash Kernel, setup the phone (initial configurations) THEN restore her phone with my backup.
You recommend running a nandroid backup BEFORE I restore with my backup file but AFTER initial setup...?

1. IMHO, you should extract necessary settings or data and restore to your new rom. You can use AppExtractor
2. No need to delete everything before restoring
3. Your choice. There is touch version out there. Try and love it

Thanks for your reply i really appreciate it.
i was saying that if i wana go back to my stock rom (original rom) wich is not rooted can i restore it using CW?
if i flash back to my stock nandroid backup using CW my phone will not be rooted and it will restore the default samsung rom?
its just my theory though i haven't tried it yet i`m asking question like this for my future reference
Well...
Yes your device wont be rooted and will return to the stock rom.
Since the nandroid backup copies the whole partition. just like Norton Ghost does on the pc, so your phone will just go back to its exact status it was at that time.
You wont need to wipe user data/factory reset, because of the data partition being restored by CW.
Well you are asking for a recovery. How did you make a nan backup if you have no recovery?
Or you used the stock one? if you used the stock one, aren't you able to use it to restore?
Or do you want a new more powerful recovery?
As in the previous post they mentioned, use the one you like, with the most options

Hi All,
I did a back-up before flashing Virtuous rom. If I want to go back to stock, do I just wipe everything, then restore the back- up through TWRP? I also downloaded somewhere stock boot.img. Not sure if I need that. Just making sure I won't brick my htc Butterfly(x920d)

just restore from the backup that's enough
You will need to flash that boot.img in fastboot also otherwise it may not boot or if its does, then some of the modules like wifi bluetooth may not turn on ... safer to flash the stock boot
Hi
I know it's in the words. So that I can recover my phone to where it was, if something fails while flashing.
But if I don't got "much" on the phone, does it matter then? Can't I just recover it back to factory?
All Roms to say how important it is and you need to do it and so on.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

Yes custom recovery is probably the most important thing to install onto the phone as it is what ALLOWS you to flash a custom ROM to your device, also the recovery doesn't just backup your data it backups the entire device with a nandroid backup, that means if everything thing goes wrong but you can still get to custom recovery you can restore the device to a usable.
So you NEED a custom recovery to install a custom ROM

I downloaded Nandroid and did a recovery. Is that enough or do I need to do it from the computer?
Thanks

Copy it to the PC just incase something goes wrong, other than that it's fine
Due to problems with Google Services on my rooted Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) I opted for a reset from TWRP and it returned to a condition where after some initial screens it was just stuck at "Checking for Updates" so I went back into TWRP and told it to wipe the other partitions. Whoops - now I have no OS (I was sort of assuming that the factory reset OS was somewhere else)
Which is the stock ROM for my Region - UK, unbranded - where do I get it from and how do I load it using Odin and/or TWRP?
TIA
Hello,
Did you make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM or a nandroid backup of a custom ROM if you installed one? If you have a nandroid backup of either of those then you can restore them in TWRP by choosing the restore option and then your nandroid then swipe the slider at the bottom of the screen. If you installed a custom ROM at any time before this and you still have the ROM file then you can reflash the ROM and Gapps.
If you don't have a custom ROM stored anywhere but can still get to recovery, then you can download any of the custom ROMs compatible with your device and a Gapps package that matches it and put them on your extsdcard then boot to recovery and flash the ROM and gapps, do the normal wipes in recovery after flashing, the normal wipes(wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache), DO NOT CHOOSE THE ADVANCED OPTIONS THAT LET YOU WIPE PARTITIONS.
Check this thread to see if it is your stock firmware, it SHOULD be but double check first, it also has instructions for rooting again and installing recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/stock-rom-root-recovery-sm-g900f-t2967725
If that doesn't work then go to Sammobile.com and search for your stock firmware by using your device model number.
The firmwares can sometimes be found at samsung-updates.com also.
Find the right firmware for your exact model number and flash through Odin.
For further assistance, post your question in the forum linked below.

Good luck.

Sadly not - wasn't expecting to need it, thought it would revert to factory default - I have Titanium backup of apps and data.
I am hopefully a few minutes away from downloading the stock ROM and hopefully can reflash that using ODIN.

Making nandroid backups in recovery is the most important and valuable function of custom recovery, flashing ROMs is its' secondary purpose Android is not like PC with a recovery partition that restores a factory IMG, on PC that factory IMG is stored in a recovery partition. The factory reset feature in stock android does not restore an IMG, it deletes all data from the user partition and leaves everything in system partition the way it is, if you delete a system app and then do a factory reset then you will still not have the system app that you deleted. Anything you modify in system remains the way you modified it if you use the factory reset option. You should only use the factory reset in recovery, not the factory reset in system settings when you have a rooted device with custom recovery.
I'm sure that when you found the recovery, the directions had to have mentioned making a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before flashing anything, your present situation is why you do that, so that if anything goes wrong then you can easily restore to the one ROM that you know for sure works with no issues.

I installed the TWERP recovery as part of the rooting operation and I didn't pay any attention to the backup option - I thought that's what Titanium did.
I am learning and will make sure that I take a Nandroid backup once I have it back up and running. Life would be so much simpler if only Samsunng didn't stuff their 'phones with bloatware that can't be deleted in stock mode.

Titanium backup can only backup data that you installed or downloaded, it does not backup anything that comes on the phone itself, that is what custom recovery is for.
When following guides to mod your device, read and understand ALL instructions before you even make the first move to touch your device. Get used to being thorough about reading and understanding first or you'll end up in a mess, possibly even hard brick your device, all it takes is one wrong move. Not all mistakes are fixable with android devices.
