PDA: I9000XXJF3
PHONE: I9000XXJF3
CSC:I9000XENJF1
My mate has also still this stock rom on his galaxy, but i dont know how to get the rom out of his phone.
At the moment it seems that there is no way to get back to the stock rom. I hope my phone won´t get an Hardware error cause there is no warranty atm with this "unofficial" rom

Hi
Do you still have the stock rom or you flashed already???
in case you still have it, can you back it up for me?? you can do that by using clockworkrecovery. its completely safe. You can download the attached zip file, rename it to update.zip and put it on the root of your phone internal memory, turn the phone off. then hold down the volume up+home button+on simultaneously. keep them pressed until you get into the recovery mode.
choose apply sdcard:update.zip and press home buttonv(you can change selection using vol up down)
that will start the recovery tool, using vol down navigate to the option (nandroid) and then click the power button once then chose the option (backup) and click power button once more. The phone will automatically start the backup procedure. after it finishes the backup choose the option (reboot system now)
The stock Rom backup will now be found in a folder in your internal memory in the following path(/sdcard/clockwormod/backup/2010-xx-xx.xx.xx.xx) the Xs replace the date and time. inside this folder you'll find 5 files. These files are your back up of the stock rom and you can share these with us.
incase you want to flash the backup back into your phone you can use the same procedure but this time choose restore rather than back up.
Ifyou managed to back it up please let me know as i was so stupid to flash a cooked rom thinking i can easily get the original rom.
Thx
What about the personal data ?
Is it that the personal data is included in the dumped rom? Do you only need the system file ?
Actually I 'd be anxious about my personal information.
I propose to sticky a thread dedicated to nandroid stock as well as rooted backups.
Does anyone want DDJF3?
I have a complete nandroid of DDJF3.

Well, regarding personal data i must say i have no idea, but as long as it is a 1:1 copy i assume everything is backed up. So if you are going to back up your ROM to share with others here is what you need to do before doing th backup:
1- delete your google account (as well as deleting your emails from mail application)
2- wipe your history and passwords from the internet browser
3- move the sms(s) to either sim or SD card (or internal memory)
4- move contacts to (internal memory or SD card) and delete them from the phone.
5- whatever is on the internal memory won't be backed up so no worries about it.
hope it helps
Ok, I managed to dump a clean i9000xxjf3 stock rom. First I did a backup of my system, then I reset my phone to stock rom settings, then dumped the rom.
I am glad restoring my original system worked perfectly.
Now, how can I provide this rom to the community ? Best upload way ? It's about 290 mb.
If you are still intetested, write back.
Cheers.
P.s. What a great backup/restore program.

Hi Mpayne. Thats great news buddy glad it worked for you. and indeed this tool is a life saver, no need to root or anything so in case you care about warranty this is a must.
i am still interested in the the dumped rom, i am not sure what is the best upload options i am guessing www.4shared.com will be nice (you can try to zip it first).
thx in advance

Hi All,
I am new to android phones. I have installed a custom rom once on a tablet, but I am lost with how to install this on my new galaxy nexus phone.
I am trying to install the Android Open Kang Project - maguro - milestone 4 custom rom.
The phone is brand new, so I have nothing to backup or restore. It says that you need CWM and Nandroid, but those seem to be only for backup and restore. Do I not need those then?
If someone could provide or link a copy of some more detailed instructions with how to install the rom that would be great. I'm not sure what programs I need for flashing and how exactly to do that with this phone.
Thanks!
Here you go.
Here you go this is a toolkit to do all the basic stuff easily. Just read though it and follow all the instructions. Here is also the Verizon version i don't know if it's any different.
root and cwm are required for any custom rom at any time. those are basic things, root gives you the right to access to system and cwm is also a tool to install a rom in your phone
Read the thread linked in my siggy =]
Don't forget to backup
Be careful, when you unlock your bootloader, all your data will be erase (photos, music, app ...).
Make a backup in your computer before =)
hi, i recently got an ATT note 2. The phone I got already got Clean ROM 3.5, so I presume it is rooted, with custom recovery (TWRP when I checked). I am thinking of flashing to a diff rom and just want to ask a few questions.
1-do I need to run triangle away every time I flash to a diff rom?
2-since the phone already has a custom rom, I should not have to root it, am I correct?
3-If I want to install custom, ROMs, can I just put the ROM in the external SD and flash it that way (of course with clear cash, davik, etc as states in the rom).
4-I am thinking of playing with the CleanROM 4.2.4 or the ACE version? any issue with either one compare to the 3.5 that I am using now? any recommendation?
5-anything I need ot watch out before I flash it? I have flashed a coupole of time with htc phone and this is my first samsung phone so I don't watn to brick it.
thanks a lot guys, XDA rocks.

1. No you do not need to run triangle away usually only have to run it if you are going back to stock and may want to return the phone.
2.Nope it has a Rom you are rooted !
3.That is what I do when installing a new rom factory reset wipe davlik and cache and install you may have to fix permissions with some installs as well after installing.
4.From the bit I played with the new Clean rom it is very stable with minimum if any grief Jedi 9 is also a awesome ROM and my current fave.
5.Just read up lots before you do it follow every step they tell you to take your time it is easy just make sure ya know what you are doing before you start.
6.Enjoy they are a awesome phone !!
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. It heped a lot. I will definitelycheck the roms. I am using 3.5 and it runs really good and hate to ruin it.

do a backup in twrp before flashing a new one, you can always come back
thanks for the info. That brings me to another question with TWRP, when I do TWRP backup, should I backup everything, modem, efs, etc. Also, if I use that backup and I do restore, does it restore everything, program, rom, setting, etc?
Also, if I want to flash the stock ROM, would that mess up my root, recovery etc? Do I need to do anything if I flash the stock ROM? From my past experience, sometimes, it is good to flash the stock rom once in awhile since that seem to do some sort of clean up and it also helped to keep the modem and such up to date.Probaby won't keep the stock for a long time but just thought I may flash it to play with it and keep the modem files up to date. Then flash custom rom. I also read that if I want to use triangle, I must be on stock rom or it will brick my phone, so I want to make sure before I start playing with diff roms.
thanks a lot guys

This is one of nice features of TWRP... ability to backup/restore individual partitions. Android stores various blocks in different partitions. To name a few, System, Data, Modem, Recovery, Boot, Cache, etc. If you just want to backup your modem for example, just check the "modem" box (and I recommend naming the folder to something significant so down the road you'll know which modem it is). When you restore, that folder will only have your modem.. so you can restore a different modem without having to change your rom, (etc). Kernels are stored in the "boot" partitions.. again, if you want to change kernels, backup the boot partition and name it properly if case you want to reflash that kernel. Generally, after my first flash of a new ROM, kernel, modem, I'll create a "boot" backup, "modem" backup, and ROM (system/data/boot) partition backups. If you look in the TWRP folders themselves, you can see the blocks which are backed up... or will be restored. Hope that helps.

When I back up in TWRP, I usually just go with what is default checked off. You will not mess up your root unless you really really tried to. The last time I ever had to flash back to stock then to a custom was on my Xperia X10a... You should be fine flashing a new rom without having to go back to stock as long as you do a good wipe (Wipe System, Factory Rest, Davlik, and Cache is what I do only because it doesn't hurt... I've read you do not need to do all those steps but I do them nonetheless). Do not use Triangle Away unless you plan on returning your phone or send it in for warranty. Only then should you start asking questions about that tool.
The only issue that may cause SOME confusion (not too much but some) is flashing back and forth between a 4.1.2 and a 4.2.1 since the SD card adjusts to User settings (some folders open up for individual users on 4.2 but as far as my experience goes, I have not had any issues with it, I just needed to study my SD card after each flash).
So you should be fine... just do backups, rename them to make sure you know which rom belongs to which backup, delete the old ones from the RESTORE menu in TWRP in case you are backing up the same rom to save you some space (my backups take around 2 gigs sometimes EACH) and you should be good to go... Enjoy tweaking out on your roms!

Much appreciated for your detail explanation on the TWRP. I did a quick backup and selected all of the option and now I see the files in my external SD:
modem.emmc.win
data.ext4.win
cache.ext4.win
recovery.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win
efs.ext4.win
data.ext4.win
system.ext4.win
Quick question. If I understand correctly, the modem and efs is not ROM backup, so if I just want to revert to the rom I am currently running with all apps and such, I only need to backup system, boot, data, am I correct?
Also, is there any way that I can retain my data, settings, and apps, without re-download and re-configurate everything after I flash to a new ROM? I am thinking that maybe data will do such thing but not too certain. In the past, whenever I flash to a new rom, I always download all apps again from market and setup everything again, a bit hassle but that's how I did

thanks for the info/warning on the triangle. I read that it can brick the phone and also needs to be on the stock to use it. Also read that if there's too many counts, it may not work. I guess for now, I just won't touch it.
Since there's no 4.2 roms available (at least not what I have seen and want to play, CleanRom or Jedi as they are highly rated), I guess for now I do not have to worry much on the SD card issue. It will be safer I guess for now just stick with 4.1.2 until the kinks are worked out.
For the wipe system, factory, davlik, cache, do I do that before flashing it?watched a couple of video and instruction and they all have diff answers. Some people said do factory reset, flash, and then wipe davik and cache.
Again, really really appreciate all of the support guys.

Think of your Nandroid (TWRP) backup as a roll back to what you are comfortable with (check everything off so you do not lose a thing if you want) in case you find that the new thing you flashed isn't all that it was cracked up to be for you or something messes up. The Nandroid backup is EVERYONE's friend.
As for flashing a new ROM and having to start all over, I will use this as an example: I have two backups; one for Paranoid Android (4.2.1 AOSPA) and Clean 4.2.5 (4.1.2). When I originally flashed my stock to Clean, I must've gotten lucky by just wiping the system (ROM only and not a factory reset) and all my data transferred over just fine with no issues... but when flashing to PA, I had to do a full wipe then start from scratch (which was not bad if you sync your apps and contacts thru Google). Also, you might want to get another backup system such as Super Backup to back up your contacts and SMS messages (be careful with backing up call logs if you go to 4.2.1 ROMs because for some reason, things went wacky for me). Titanium is a good system to use for power users but sometimes, to keep it as simple as possible, count on Google at first for your app syncing (and if you get Amazon App Store, you will have to get that APK to download the apps from that store).
Anyway, from there (if you want to play with multiple ROMs) you now have a foundation. Dirty flashing (flashing a new version of a ROM you currently have without doing a full wipe... just in case you didn't know... for me, I just wipe System [no factory reset] then flash the upgrade) should be fine... again, I'm typing from experience because there are some people who do run into issues dirty flashing and is usually not supported by the devs unless you do a full wipe and flash. I have not had any issues whatsoever dirty flashing both PA and Clean versions.
As for methods of wiping, honestly they're all right... I just posted what I usually do when I want to do a full wipe. Only if you want to do a dirty flash, you won't have to wipe or do a partial wipe (I partial wipe e.g. Clean 4.0.5 to 4.2.5: Delete last Clean Rom backup through the Restore menu, Nandroid Back Up current working Clean Rom 4.0.5, Wipe System, Install the new 4.2.5, wipe Davlik and Cache (again, I do this just in case but some devs say it's unnecessary), then reboot and wait for the apps to reset... all was where it was when I left 4.0.5.

Yes... if you're retaining your current modem and recovery... to restore a rom just as it was when you backed it up, restore boot (which has the kernel), system and data. One your second question, when restoring a different rom , it's best to always restore system/data/boot together. You can use TiBu to restore your user app DATA, and individual apps usually have their own backup files you can restore (like Nova/Apex launchers [which can restore your widgets], calendar, etc).
much appreciated guys. thanks so much. I think I got it. Will get ready to pick a good ROM and starts flashing.
one little thing, I saw this rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124182
it says stock rooted, does that mean that it is essentailly identical to what is found on the stock rom except that it will not mess up with my recovery and rooting if I use it to flash as oppose to the guide I saw online to flash to completely stock using ODIN.
Also, I did the unlock with what I found on the thread, would that mess got messed up when I flash to different ROM?

That rom is one of the most recent 7105 (note2 international) samsung firmware releases... supposedly better battery life than LL7 or LL4. It's the stock MA6 pre rooted (i.e., has SuperSU app and binaries included). No other features added like you would find with CleanROM 4.2.5 for example. It includes rom and kernel... so it will write to your system, data, and boot partitions. Whatever custom recovery you have now and flash this with will not be touched.
thanks again.
Hi there,
my mother in law is pretty upset with her Gio. She complains that it always has slowdowns and there are to many useless apps on it.
Therefore I want to get her a Custom Rooted Rom.
She mainly does:
-Of course, telephone
-Use Whats App
-Use SMS
-Wants to use a E-Mail-Client
-Use the camera
-Listens to music
Therefore I am looking for a custom Rom which lets me delete all the Useless Roms and improves the speed and the battery life of her phone. If it has a better launcher design which is not as "boring" as the one on her phone this would be a huge plus.
She uses Android 2.3.6 which is not bounded to a provider.

Since you doesn't have root or custom recovery, you can't use the "programs" WYPIERDAALAAC said. One way to backup your stuff is to use a program called Ultimate Backup Tool. This program doesn't need root or custom recovery. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux. Try it, and then reply how it went! :laugh:

If you wanna install Enhanced236 (the most bugfree one), you need to install install cwm, Clock Work Mod, first. How to:
1. Make sure that you have fully charged your battery.
2. You need to download the ext4only 5.0.2.0 cwm version, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650.
3. After you have downloaded the zip, you go into recovery mode, in this case stock recovering. You do that by holding The Home Button + Power Button until the recovery gets visible.
4. Then you do click on the Apply update from sdcard, and select the cwm zip.
5. After you have flashed the zip, you should reboot your device. Here's a YouTube video on the installation process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxjxB8P9rSU
6. After you have done that, I recommend you to take a nandroid backup. The backup will be stored on your sdcard, so you can copy the backup to your computer if you want to, just in case.
Now you have installed CWM. Let's install the ROM!
7. Download the enhanced236 from this thread. Copy the zip to the root of your sd-card, and then go into CWM. Wipe data/factory reset. After that, wipe the cache partition. NOTE! This will erase everything you have done on your phone, so make sure that you have a backup ready! After that, click on the install zip from sd-card, choose the enhanced236_06.08.2012.zip and flash it. Just follow the instructions that pops up, and then restart your phone. Leave it booting/waiting for like 5 min, and then start touching/configure the device. After doing the necessary configuring, wait another minute. And reboot. And then it's done! Wohooooo.. :victory:
Hope you like your new custom ROM! And if you have any questions, just ask! I'm glad to help! :laugh:

With your help I managed to install a custom Rom, thank you very Much.
I installed Cyangemod 7 Beats Music Edition.
Unfortunately I think I made a mistake in the backup. These are the files the backup gave me: IMAGE
-With this files and the files with are still on the phone is there any change to restore her contacts?
-Additionaly she has problem with handling her Phone connected to the PC as a Mass Storage Device. Is there any (free) German software which syncs the Music, Images, Videos more easily with her phone?
My mother in law is not very good with PC, therefore the more simple the software is the better.
Thank You very much

Have you tried to use the restore feature in ultimate backup tool?
Btw the enhanced236 is the most bugfree and stable rom, don't think you mother in law will notice anything.

Hi guys can i use this method to flash a custom rom to a stock Gio, my brother in law would like to have a custom rom but he don't know how. Do i need to root it ? Please help.
Hi guys,
I have done some research but don't seem to find a newbie FAQ about flashing stock rom of my HTC One X Endevour to CM11. So here are my questions:
1) Can I use the installer for CM11 to make it easy on myself or do I need to flash manually?
2) If something goes wrong (and because I use this phone for my day job too), is there a way to flash it back to the current stock state?
3) Does flashing to CM11 allow me to import my previous sms/mms, email settings, photos etc?
4) I need to use a couple of apps from the Play store. Will this not work anymore after flashing?
5) Currently using 4.2.2 which is quite good. Does CM11 improve significantly over this?
Sorry for all the questions, if someone give me a hand or point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated!

1)dont know bcos never used installer
2)take nandroid backup of your stock rom. so, in future you can restore it if something goes wrong..
3)flashing a custom rom erase your sms/mms,contact,emails,apps,settings. take a backup of sms/mms,contact backup.
4)flash gapps and you will be able to use google apps.
5)install CM11 and see the difference...

Thanks Poojan Patel, I really appreciated you taking the time to reply.
A couple of follow up questions:
Android backup is an app from the play store I assume? This backs up everything (including sms/emails/contacts etc.?) or do I need a separate backup porgram for sms,...?
With my sms etc backed up, can I then just restore all that stuff onto the CM11 rom once it is installed?
Thanks again.
use "super backup" from market..this app takes backup of sms,contact,call logs.etc
u dont need to take backup of email..u can sync ur emails.
use "titanium backup" app for application backup
u can restore ur sms backup in cm11..

There are many guides on flashing to CM11 or AOSP, etc.. The best way would be to have a custom recovery, which you need to flash most of the roms, updated HBoot, you need to be able to flash the image. I would go read some of the guides on how to do it.

This guide helped me, I still use his flash tool, I find it easy to use, and I use Philz Recovery (personal choice, I like the look and ease of use). It took me a while to get everything figured out, I am a little slow when it comes to all things techy, but flashing is pretty simple once you get through the intitial try.
