Hi,
I was quite familiar with changing roms a few years ago, but now with my new Mix 3 (chinese stock rom) I now want to change Roms again.
Right now I am quite fine with the stock rom but want to try EU and Global rom.
How can I easily save or backup current rom + settings to revert back if the EU or Global does not fit my needs?
Thanks in advance for any documentation.
Best regards,
Martin

1. Unlock Boot loader
2. Install TWRP and immediately do the backup (it's important to do it before you'll do any modification), once you'll get backup menu TWRP will ask for what kind of "values" you want to backup such like:
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tick them all!!!
Cheers!
Note that the backup function in this version of TWRP is only partially working. It will backup your /system partition but not your /data partition, so it's unlikely that you'll be able to successfully restore to stock without a full wipe. Not a huge issue, but something to bear in mind.
Thanks, appreciated! So, TWRP backup is as good as it gets for now. Gonna try some rom now...

Hello Team,
I recently purchased a new Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) few days back. After the initial settings, I got a new ROM OTA update. However, I being a true Android lover tried Rooting my J5 (2016). However, the link that I used did not worked and now my Device status has changed from 'Official' to 'Custom'.
EDIT - The above Issue has been Resolved since I flashed STOCK ROM that changed my Device Status back to "Official". However, a new issue has been cropped up now.
You can take a look at the current Software Info. that would give you an insight onto the current OS that is installed on the device after the flashing of STOCK ROM which I downloaded from Sam Mobiles.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this:
Here is another screenshot that tells you the exact error which I receive now whenever I try looking for Software Updates manually.
I want to know what could be the issue here since earlier the Device Status changed to CUSTOM (when I tried rooting the device). However, when I downloaded the STOCK ROM from SAM MOBILES and flashed it properly through ODIN, this is the new error that is troubling me.
NOTE: After flashing the STOCK ROM, I did not perform any kind of: Data Wipe or Cache Wipe.
Can that be creating this error here? I don't think just because I did not Clean Wiped my Cache and Data could be the reason behind this issue. However, still I am looking forward to hearing some response from the official developers on this.
Thanks and regards.

Hello guys today i will show you how to download Aosp rom (GSI) with android pie on Lenovo K9 (L30843)
Download TWRP first: https://mega.nz/#!tFcm1IYb!nN6H210DoyYqjL0WEnI-I9skClDPEO0gl82H5My-gq4
if you have not unlocked the bootloader: https://www.howtoapps.info/how-to-unlock-bootloader-lenovo-k9/
Aosp rom link: https://mega.nz/#!cAdFwSoI!RqVg18SU-adnmltKV1JuL_1NB_V9KCemYX8fZwUyzkA
First step: Go to the TWRP.If you have internal storage (0mb),Go to wipe/advanced wipe/mark data/repair or change file system/change flie system/EXT4 and you're done
I recommend you save your rom to sd card not have thousands of quarrels
Second step: Go to micro sd card/install image/your recorded aosp rom/mark system image/slipe to confirm flash
Third step: gapps link: https://mega.nz/#!9dFkWY5I!JKX80Udn2ZmTgRuGiwgcdRLQXEBssowK7xUOvL2wW4E
Install zip/mark open_gapps-arm64-9.0....../swipe to confirm flash/reboot system now
the rom leaves without a logo,shows its original logo of Lenovo,And after a while the inscriptions orange state are removed and the android logo appeared.
Mention below in the comments if there are bugs!

HELLO THANK YOU FOR THE REVERT BUT I GET A BIG FAIL POP UP WHEN TRYING FLASH STOCK ROM VIA ODIN attached screenshots plsssss help me ! Am I doing anything wrong while flashing let me know .
Hey Guys !
It's been a long time since I left Android mods and a lot has changed since 2015
I managed to lost both the IMEI from my cousin Samsung A12(dual SIM) after tried this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/installing-twrp-and-linageos.4334465/ .
The fault it's on me and not on the guide, I lost the backup file.
I managed to get until the last step before flash the Lineage OS from ADB Sideload.
I format everything and then i couldn't make a connection with the ADB sideload and tried to get back to stock firmware with ODIN.
After flash the firmware i lost both IMEI.
Things I tried :
~ Clean install with ODIN (from the guide)
~Tried to change the IMEI with different apps with root
~Right now I'm trying to install every possible ROM from this site https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A125F/COS

I thought MediaTek will change but its still the same pain in the ...
EDIT
I managed to get back both IMEI with this version, A125FXXU1AUC3 .
Just to help any other with the same problem.
Best regards,
Leon
Deleted but another alternatives is the downgrade or flash android 10 CP with the last update (This only works with binary 1 firmwares)
In my opinion is so stupid this bug/error and I tink the Knox 0x1 affects this problem (All firmwares with no imei problem has the secured by Knox splash) but is my opinion
What happens is that I used my POCO X3 Pro as factory, with my applications and bootloader closed. A few months go by and I decide to open it to try LineageOS, and I ended up going back to MIUI (locking blootloader, right now my bootloader it's lock). I went back to version 13.0.4 because it is the only version that allows me to install via fastboot. And before opening the bootloader I had version 13.0.8 (I had the 13.0.4, next to 13.0.5, and finally 13.0.8 before to unlock the bootloader). these can only be installed via recovery or OTA (13.0.5 and 13.0.8). But with the menu settings moving forward it won't let me install the update package why it says it's a tester ROM version, and this not happened previosly, I attach a photo for evidence. Someone knows if it has a solution?

Flash whatever is the latest version for your region manually? Via recovery or even MiFlash.

My X3 Pro is the Global version (forgot to mention that detail).
And flash the ROM via fastboot with MiFlash.
Since I had Lineage ROM and recovery installed (both).
So for a clean install I flash MIUI with MiFlash with the option "clean all and lock".

Stable Beta version (13.0.8) can only be flashed through custom recovery unless you are registered as a beta tester
