hi friends.. rooted my Samsung galaxy grand yesterday and installed the Xperia z flavoured gennext Rom. now I want to install my stock Rom again. before installing the Xperia z Rom, I made a backup of my stock rom thorough ->CWM recovery-> backup and restore function. so is it possible to get my stock Rom back by just using 'install zip from sd card' function of CWM AND using my stock Rom backup as the zip file?
Why would you do that? Why complicate everything? -__-
Why don't you just restore the backup via CWM instead of creating a whole new flashable zip?

Just want to know how to create odin flashable package of stock rom as a backup so that i can restore it when i mess up things later (like testing custom roms, etc).
Note: The backup/restore function of currently available cwm recovery is not working for me otherwise i wouldn't have created this thread. If there are any other ways of backing up your stock rom please share it.
Any help would be appreciated.
backup / restore in CWM 5.0.2.6 does work. maybe your sd card is broken.

No dude its not working for me....can you tell me which rom are using.....stock rom? or custom rom? and if you are using custom rom then which one?
And its not just me, infact the developer of CWM recovery for galaxy y, himself said that he could not get backup/restore and many other functions to work.

This one is working for me, I made it using Galaxy Mini's recovery by correcting some entries.
To make backup you need at least 7-800 MB free space in your SD card

I was using stock ROMs, bancetDEV, creed2.5.2, GG-ROM 1.05 to bak/rest.
except for one BAK that became corrupted (bad MD5), I did not notice problems - apart from partitioning large sd card (4 GB no prob)
did you use the "fix permissions" (whatever that means in particular) function in CWM ?
I believe LINK2SD.apk is not fully compatible with CWM.
Hello to all,
I have Arc with ICS .587 installed and rooted, CWM is Also installed. Whenever i try to restore my Backup i end up in bootloop, sometines its restored but somethings are not working like no service, some widgets are Gone, cant get into Phone settings as the setting button is completly gone from phone.
Please can good Samaritan help me
Thanking All in Advance
Do you Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Cache etc before restore?
did you changed kernel?
if you chanege the name of the backup, things will not work.

yes....not change the name of backup...
moreover if you have flashed a zip and it didn't go fine....there is a possibility that the istallation have spoiled the backup or file of kernel...(for all I know it happened to me in this way)
Yes Guys i do make a full wipe before restore, and after making a backup i transfer it to pc for Safe storage, so whenever i need it i transfer it back to cloclworkmod folder

If u flash custom kernel, u need to also flash wifi modules before rebooting after restore...
I dont Flash custom Kernel, everything is stock, by the way My Arc is Bootlocked so customs kernels
While you make backup does cwm show any errors? have you checked the log ? Does the restore process complete without errors ? And do you fix permissions and mount system /data etc before restoring ?

Then do it ! and try again .
This is what is happening to me. Lets say am Running on GB Rom e.g X-Gamer, now i want to try lets say Optimax Rom, i backup my Current ROM which is X-Gamer, then i try to restore it to see if its works, and i find that it works. so Flash ICS Original Sony ROM and root it. in the end i Have Sony Stock ROM.587 and CWM installed. So far am ok.
Now i Install ICS based ROM like Optimax or JellySandwhich. Everything goes Fine, so i Backup That ROM too and keep a copy on my Laptop. Now i decide to go to my old backup of X-Gamer, i Boot to recovery do a full wipe + i mount data/system and fix permission as i have CWM 5.5.0.4. which has permission option in it. i continue to restore my X-Gamer Backup. After Finnishing of course without error. i reboot the phone and Bam!!. Bootloop.
I reflash GB.42 with Flashtool, root it and install CWM. Boot to recovery and try to restore my X-Gamer backup, and WOLA!! it's restored.
same with ICS Backup. Reflash Stcok Rom root it and restore the ICS backup i made, and it works.
As i know i may be wrong (am a noob) The backup is a snapshot of the rom, so regardless of what rom someone is running when he restores the Backup, he should be back to that ROM in the backup and not to reflash first the corresponding Stock ROM in order for the Backup to work.
Please somebody help and shade some light
Have you used the same recovery all the time? Switching recoveries can "sometimes" not flash backups properly. Either that or it didn't back it up properly in the first place. TBH there's not much we can can do. The backup is corrupted and for that it is causing bootloops and braking things. All I can suggest to you is to reinstall a fresh install of the ROM and then try an advanced restore of your applications and data just not the Boot.img or the system.img

I have tried to use same recovery, but same result. restoring backup across different ROM does not work for me it seems. I have to have a working corresponding rom as the backup am trying to Resotre. for example if i want to restore my backup of GB ROM, i have to have a working GB Rom already on Phone. I Can't restore an ICS Rom while my Phone is On GB and vice verser.

Flashing an ftf also flashes the kernel, so restoring a GB backup when you originally installed ICS or vice versa will give you issues as CWM doesn't backup your kernel.

Thanks XperienceD for Clarifying. now i undersatnd. Just wanted to ask is it possible to flash A GB Sock Kernel on an ICS ROM or vice versa, then using the backup to restore thru CWM, as this will save time than to reflash the ftf, root it and install CWM just only to restore your backup.

This is why it's better to unlock your BL, then it's just a flash of a kernel then restoring your backup.
I made that big mistake to force a great upgrade on a friends phone and as always: problems occured and he's not happy, so my last resort is to restore the backup.
The base firmware was a Gingerbread-Stock. I rooted and created a backup with CWM. After that I had to install JB Stock to be able to install CM11 and now I have to go back to that backup.
Is it possible to just restore the backup? Or if I have to repartition/reformat the filesystem, is there a recovery that has that feature?
Thanks.
i think u have to flash Stock GB with ODIN, root it, install CWM and restore ur Backup.
but im not expert !!

I made a complete back up using twrp in my device but while restoring reaching 53% it is automatically switching off. But this only happening while restoration of backup, not taking place while flashing custom ROM
Please help me with a solution

Try to watch on what file it is switching off, then delete it from backup and try to restore again.
Untick System Image (not system) in TWRP menu

Yes it can be backup,
It is recommended to backup every partition and keep a copy of whole twrp backup folder in PC so that if something goes wrong u can restore them later.
Many times peoples lost networks,phone lags,low battery backup,no sound in call or many other problems so be on safe side, backup your device.
