I haven't flashed a custom rom in a long time. I am currently using the stock latest OOS rom with blu TWRP and magisk installed. How can I effectively backup the whole rom, install a custom one for testing and if I don't like it restore the full backup? Any tips? I'm thinking of backup to an otg drive just to make sure I mess up the internal storage.
Thank you.

Hi. I rooted my phone with this tool: http://www.unlockroot.com/
I wiped my current android and tried to install a rom (not matter what rom i try, it's stock on the HTC logo when booting)
A nandroid/cwm backup might be able to fix the problem (I'm not sure) but i don't got one, and it would be very appreciated if someone could take a backup and upload it
Do you mean you need to flash back some stock ROM you had on the phone before wiping the data?
What about to flash (via CWM) some of the pre-rooted stock ROMs available here:

Try to run an RUU and then put you costum roms on you´re device again
I prefer this RUU "RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed".
I rooted my OnePlus when it first came out and had a custom kernel on it, and since then I haven't updated it. I want to update to CM13 but am not familiar with the process that needs to be done without losing any data or risk bricking my phone. I believe it has TWRP recovery and Franco kernel (I don't have the phone with me so can't verify).
Do I simply unlock the bootloader, backup data and then flash the new custom ROM? Would I be able to flash a custom ROM without losing root? I want to keep the root but go back to stock kernel.
Thanks
When you unlock your bootloader you'll lose all your data. However if your bootloader is already unlocked, proceed to flash this TWRP version (unofficial TWRP 2.8.6.0.6 by kumajaya): www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609056
Other versions of TWRP have bugs not updating the firmware properly.
You'll lose your root but CM13 nightlies have their own root in the developer settings. Or you can flash SuperSU 2.67 on top after you flash the ROM if you prefer SuperSU.
Oh and make a TWRP nandroid backup first before you do anything. Backup the firmware partition too if it's not checked by default.
hello developers ,
is it possible to release a stock rom which is rooted and can be flashed just like any custom rom using twrp or clockwork mod..
so if anyone want to isntall stock rom , then we dont have to go back and flash stock oppo recovery ---> then install stock rom ---> and then root it again..
instead just by flashing the stockrom with root .zip file , using twrp or clockworkmod we can get bacl stock os , just like flashing cyanogen mod rom or mokee rom or aicp rom that we already have.. for my samsung/lg devices there are stock roms which are rooted (with extra features like debloat and deodexed )deodex is difficult so not needed..but atleast we can have a stock rooted rom..
The easy way would be to make factory reset, root the device, install custom recovery, backup the device. Then copy the backup to PC or the external sdcard.

I have an OnePlus5 with latest Oxygen Os android 7.1.1, rooted with magisk and with TWRP recovery. I flashed yesterday a custom kernel (blu spark), cause i wanted better battery stats. But i dont see any changes. Nor more advanced options, neither visual changes. What does exactly a kernel change to the phone? How does it differ from a custom rom? Do i need extra programs or programming in order to make full use of the kernel?
Now that i have the custom kernel, what actions should i take if :
1) I want install a custom rom
2) I want install stock rom
3) I want install another or stock kernel
When should i take full backup and why? (Nandroid via TWRP or backup with TITANIUM BACKUP??) What about OTA updates? How can i update to newest rom in each case? Each time a new rom update occurs should i take full backup, flash the rom and install them all from the start??
Someone help me please?

I've unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom and installed magisk. I know that the data is encrypted but I wanted to know if the data will be removed if a custom rom is flashed on top of it again via TWRP?
Will it also be the case for a rom OTA or will data be preserved?
