Hey guys I have a stock rooted GS3 with CWM recovery.
Is there a way that I can backup the ROM or make a ROM.zip file to flash if I want to change ROMs around and then go back to stock rooted instead. I don't care for user data etc...Just want a zip thats like flashing a rom. For example I can use this zip with any other GS3 to put it on Stock Rooted with CWM.
Thanks
Use the backup option in CWM to make a nandroid backup of your current setup.

I installed cm10 did not like it so i restored to my stock rom which i had a back up of in CWM. Stock samsung restored fine but i try to go into CWM and it is not there anymore and goes into stock recovery mod. Did CWM get deleted and do I have to reinstall CWM ?
Thanks !
Stock ROM = stock recovery...wonder if u lost ROOT as well?
if so Root and re-install CWM or TWRP.
I have my stock ROM backed up also, been thinking of going back to ICS for a bit and trying to find a rooted,de-bloated stock Rogers ROM in flashable ZIP format so I dont have to do the whole process again lol....no luck yet

I am currently using cm10 with hellboy kernel and have a cvm backup of stock rom. I was wondering if *touchwood* something were to happen to the custom rom will a simple recovery be enough to get back to sense? or is there some kernel which will have to be flashed first? or is ruu the only way of going back to sense?
if u have a nandroid backup of stock ROM u can restore it and flash the boot.img found inside that particular backup.if u do not have a stock backup u will have to apply ruu or u can even restore nandroid backups of stock ROM found on XDA.

I need to root and run Titanium Backup and Nandroid before installing the new ROM.
Seems like most methods use a prerooted ROM that wipes out the current data.
Can somebody point me to a thread (believe me I've searched) and give me some pointers to how I can obtain root on the current stock ROM so I can do a full rooted backup before installing a new ROM?
Here's a really easy method just flash this in odin and when you reboot you should be rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36556036
Oh and to install cwm recovery, just download and install rom manager and install from there
You could flash CWM in odin and then flash su.zip. This will give you root on your current rom.

Thanks so much. Selected PDA and selected your tar and it did the trick!
Before flashing rom, i always make nandroid backup of my current rom.
But my question is right now i am on stock rom(with KTT kernal) and i am looking to flash cm11.
If i flash cm11 then can i restore my backup rom with CWM?
will i get all my data data on my stock rom?
or i have to do all the same thing flash stock rom with flash tool and again root it and install cwm all this things.
It would be great if you help.

Hi all,
I need to recover some information from my phone from before I flashed a new ROM, and wondering what's the easiest way about it based on the scenario given below;
I was running a rooted stock ROM (LB) with TWRP. I used titanium to batch backup my apps ( but seem to have overlooked my notepad app which had info in it that I now need.)
I installed resurrection remix which comes with CWM so can't just do a new nandroid, then restore the old one to get the info, then re-restore the newer backup.
Is there a way to extract the info direct from my twrp backup on my SD/ laptop or do I need to/is it possible to flash TWRP to replace CWM and keep the rest of the ROM as-is?
TIA
If you are just recovering a file, and not restoring the backup itself, try using nandroid manager. I can extract a file from my nandroid backup (created by cwm). I never tried it with twrp nandroid backup though.
Other option is to try to flash the Dual Recovery on your phone.
Then you have TWRP and CWM on your phone.
