I'm running slimbean 4.3 and cwm for recovery.. Can I just perform the normal steps when flashing a new rom and flash beanstalk 4.4? I've been told cwm won't flash modems on the e980 so will I run into any problems with that? if I want to go back to 4.3 rom I will be able to restore a backup, correct? any other info is appreciated. thanks
I have been able to flash back and forth and restore backups using CWM that I got from FreeGee. I haven't flashed any modems though. As always, YMMV
Edit: I think I've only restored one backup. I have flashed a lot this week...apologize

I'm on CM10 and I have a NANDROID backup of TouchWiz, but the problem is that the backup was made with CWM and I recently switched to TWRP. My understanding is that backups are not compatible between the two.
So what I'd like to find is a flashable zip containing stock rooted TouchWiz (for AT&T) that doesn't require Odin. Does such a thing exist or will I have to flash with Odin and unroot again myself? I had a bit of a bad experience the first time around so I'd prefer not to go that route.
Why not just switch back to cwm and restore the back up?
Actually, that occurred to me just after I posted. Unfortunately the cwm backup appears to be corrupt and my phone wouldn't boot after the error! Luckily I had one of the CM10 nightlies on my sd card and was able to get into cwm and it's installing now. Geez, what a pain in the ass!
Go to the development section and download lh9 rooted ROM, and the modem and kernel for it(its in the same thread). Download mobile Odin from play store, trust me just buy it, it will save your phone's life from time to time. Use it to flash the ROM and kernel and modem. DO NOT FLASH LH9 ROOTED ROM USING CWM.

I'm curious why you would say not to flash this with CWM. I did this and it worked just fine.
Also, it's in general section.
Because every now and then after I flash it I don't get boot. So I avoid it by using mobile Odin.

Hey guys. I have a custom rom running on 4.3 can I flash a 4.4 rom over it or do I need to do some kind kind of reset or preparation? Thanks!

Best advice is to backup any apps and data you want with something like titanium backup, then boot to recovery and make a nandroid backup, then wipe clean then flash ROM of choice. Then if there is anything you wish to restore from previous ROM use titanium, or however you backed things up. Note not everything likes to restore between android versions but most will be fine from 4.3 to 4.4

hello
You can go back to 4.1.2 via nandroid smooth, clean and before you restore system data, you restore and go.
I read somewhere that i cant go back from 4.3 to 4.1.2

I done it like 6 times, I restored a backup from 4.3 to 4.1.2 cwm LJ2 that is the stock in October 2012.
what you mention podrer not return to 4.1.2 is the latest stock 4.3 to 4.1.2 using odin by the bootloader, but that will not really necessary if you have a nandroid backup.
I've been on CM 4.2 for ages, finally decided to make the jump a 4.4 ROM. I decided to try slickricks PA 4.4 Build, which seemed stable enough.
Got it all installed, boots fine, but I have no radio. Zero service. I've tried flashing every radio that RWilco has on his site (Through CWM and Odin), as well as the MK4 modem from here.
I also tried loading a backup of Stock TW (where mobile radio works fine) and doing a PRL / Profile update, but that didn't do anything.
I've just run out of things to try. If anybody has any suggestions, please share. Thanks in advance.
You can not flash 4.4 using twrp. Try using philz recovery 6.07.9 while any version of philz will flash 4.4 only 6.07.9 will flash all android version.

There it is. I never would have suspected this. Things are working great now. Thanks so much!
No problem. Just so you know philz will also restore you twrp backups. When you are in the backup restore menu select options or advanced and select twrp format. It works without causing any issues so you wont need to flash between the two.
Also twrp states that their unreleased version 2.7 will handle 4.4 but dont know when it will be available.

Flash whatever kernel you made the backup with, then restore your backup.

The only time your phone gets repartitioned is the first time it's upgraded from stock GB or ICS to stock JB... You should be good
