Quick question - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

If I flash a aosp rom or non touchwiz will anything get screwed up if I restore a backup or go back to a touchwiz rom?

You are ok with backup

The only issue after backup is that everything will end up in a folder named 0 inside SD cards. All sorts of critical stuff inside like S Notes, etc..
If you go back to 4.1 after CM10.1, then flash the restore-sdcard-after-downgrade.zip to get everything back in place. The file can be found in the OP below.

Think you have to be on stock kernel for that feature to work.

There's a thread in the dev section that has a stock rom that boots from emmc used to update prl and what not. I haven't tried using it but it might be worth a shot to boot it and move your apps then boot your original rom. But like the post above I'm pretty sure u gotta be on stock kernel.

That's true, but you can also temp flash stock then flash and use agats kernel and it will work until you go to clockwork. Then that cycle begins again. He explains it in his thread.

Kies backup or Nandroid?

Alright so I'm on JB, rooted, Kt kernel and I wanted to factory reset my phone to see if battery life will improve because I've heard it works for some.
My question is, is it better to backup through Kies, reset, and restore from kies backup or will I risk bringing back theb (maybe) source of problems by doing it that way?
Or suck it up and restore from a TWRP or CWM backup. The only reason I prefer the Kies backup is because I hardly have enough memory left on my SD card to hold a Nandroid backup.
Thoughts?

I always hate dealing with kies but i get the issue of memory. That's why i like extra sd card space makes it easier for backups. I prefer cwm but its Ur call

Will the CWM backup include all the pics, texts, etc.?

Do a nandroid on external SD that's where I do mine. Also use titanium you can back it up to dropbox , box or Google.

Nandroid on external sd. As far as the pictures go. I have mine default save to the sd. I normally do not format the external sd during restores, backups or rom swaps. So the pictures always remain.
However, one time I left the the sd card installed when I was returning to stock via oden. It wiped both internal and external. So now when oden is involved I pull the external. Just to be sure.

So now to my understanding in TWRP the option to create image.zip is just creating a backup that I can flash right through Odin like a rom as opposed to the option to create a backup?
What can I do with that option to create a backup? Is that also an odin flashable zip?

Usually Odin doesn't flash zips but it creates a flash able zip through cwm

Yea I meant CWM. Thats the recovery I had installed that allowed me to create the image.zip
So basically that just creates the exact state that my phone is in and allows me to flash it via cwm to get right back to that state.

Cannot restore back up trwp / bootloops

I have never had a problem restoring anything, I just backed up a new task ROM, I also backed up a new illusion ROM. I will go to restore from backup and it just boot loops on either 1. Anything prior to these latest releases and backups will restore but 2 separate ROM's with the latest releases will not restore from backup they both stay in boot loop. Totally clueless, I have formatted wiped you name it it will only restore a backup from a ROM o backup on Jan 4th. Only happening newer released backed up ROMs.

Try flashing a different kernel.

Did you change from clockwork mod to Team Win recovery, or visa versa? The two aren't compatible and might cause that.
No same as I always do...I flashed ktoonez kernel 1.10

It really sucks, I restored a back up from 1/4 just fine, but as soon as I download and install the latest update to that Rom day illusion, and save it as a new back up, no go on restore

CWM BLOBS folder

Hi so I deleted the blob folder a while back and I was wondering if backups will still work with cwm. Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
You can make more backups, but you can't restore any old backups that might still be showing up in CWM.

downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2

I have a question about the process of moving back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2
I was Testing the latest MIUI v5 build bu team noob and I flashed back to stock rooted MC2.
After booting MC2 I went to recovery and flashed the ZIP from the CM10.1 thread to downgrade back to 4.1.2
Now I have duplicate data in sdcard and data/media and I also have a folder 0
Should I just delete the 0 folder and the data/media folder or will that break the files in the sdcard folder?
Thanks in Advance!
I deleted the 0 folder after I transfered everything in it I needed. Hasnt been a problem.

Did you do anything with the data/media folder?
I have 2 of everything right now

I had not even noticed. Thank you. I will backup to a computer and delete.

Lol I was nevvveerr aware of this. Did this JUST started happening for galaxy note 2? Never flashed aosp since almost every Google phone out there has it and really ain't that appealing as the TW UI. But back in the HTC days I never had to flash a zip in order to boot up back on sense UI. How wieerd what happens if you download an aosp ROM and just wipe everything and flash a TW ROM???
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
This started when they updated the base to 4.2.2
Since there are no 4.2.2 TW roms for our device it only shows up in aosp based roms

I always odin back when I install aosp roms, that way I know all the partitions are the way they are supposed to be.
