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

Is there a place where I can find all the kernels made for this device?
I just want to be able to restore backups.
But I'll need the kernels correct? Or is that cooked into the boot.img?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Can you make a backup using stock recovery?

This link here has most of kernels and modems

EL 26 CWM This is the preferred kernel/recovery you should use to flash/wipe/etc. For the moment it is advised to avoid doing any wiping in ICS based recoveries which means anything that is FB##
Link for updated cm9 kernel by darchstar flashable thru odin or mobile odin only
AOSP Kernel AOSP kernel by TCP good for AOKP, not recommended for CM9 since it might break root.
Ok. So if I want to restore say an ics rom.
Could I flash the rom then restore data through stock recovery?

Recovery is baked in to the kernels. You may not restore an ics backup with a gb recovery and vice versa. To go from ics to gb, Odin el26 and restore a gb rom or wipe and flash something new. To restore an ics rom, from either gb or ics, Odin an ics kernel (immediately boot into recovery) and restore your ics backup. I believe most are using rogue fd02 for that.

To back up and restore ICS rom.
1. Flash el26 cwm, either thru odin or mobile odin (recommend getting mobile odin app so worth it)
2. Boot into recovery by holding volume + and power
3. Perform back up or perform restore which ever one you want to do
4. If you are restoring an ICS nand make sure you flash an ICS kernel after the restore is complete or it wont boot. If you forget to flash the kernel don't panic just power off and hold volume + and power again and you should go back into el26 cwm recovery.

Why el26 and not el29? Confused on this.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
El26 is CWM and the el29 is rogue. There seems to have been a lot less bricks using the CWM.
El26 was the last true clockworkmod produced for our phones

I flashed aokp not knowing cwm would return to stock 3e
So so far I downloaded root exp apk astro file and gapps. I extracted and installed gapps via root explorer.
Now I have the market.
I downloaded Mobil Odin pro.
What's my options now to get a safe cwm recovery or one that I can flash from the phone in order to get some cwm back so I can then nandroid back to stock ics.
Any links to aokp cwm tar file or even a rooted kernel or stock ics rooted rom.
NEED SAFEST WAY TO DO ALL THS FROM MOBIL ODIN while on this aokp junk
I failed to flash gapps before reboot into the aokp but I knew I could get the market back via root explorer

Always flash gapps right after you flash the ROM. But here is what you're looking for: the GB Stock EL26 CWM5 kernel. Here is a link for the .tar.md5 that you can Mobile Odin: http://kernelrepo.chris41g.org/Kern.../Chris41g/Stock CWM/TAR/EL26_StockCWM.tar.md5
This kernel is ONLY for recovery. Do not try to run it on your ROM. Only use it to flash.

When u say don't use it on the aokp rom what do u mean?
If I flash that in Mobil Odin and go into recovery can I still find my original stock ics nAndroid
Or would that have been wiped
All I want to do is get recovery to restore to my stock ics nandroid

Solved thanks for the info
Thanks iniz94

NP, glad to help. What I meant that it is a GB kernel so it won't run on ICS (your phone won't boot up). It's only meant for using recovery
When i flashed the el26 i restored my nandroid from that recovery and booted into my stock ics touchwiz which also apparantely had AGAT RECOVERY backed up.. So now recovery is once again agat
.. That was a strange mess.. Certain i was gonna brick ... I almost just flashed the stock ff18 tar but glad the recovery let me restore to ics nandroid

I have an Epic 4G currently on official CM10 mtd, and I was wondering if there is a zip i can flash in cwm to bring me back to stock unrooted (stock recovery etc, too)? I know I can odin it, but I'm just wondering
...Man, you need a custom recovery to flash a zip like that. Simply banishes the possibility of having an all-stock zip.

No. You have to Odin to get the stock bml partition back.

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

Confirmed: I just restored a 4.3.1 backup from a 4.4 ROM using CWM 6.0.3.7 from Freegee

i have been able to restore a stock backup made using freegee provided recovery after have issues with cm11 no problems, but one which is that when i try to unroot using lgmlauncher.exe it says update halted due to low battery, even though the battery is full
Ok here is what I have and what i am looking to accomplish. I have a sph-d710 sprint, flashed to boost mobile. Gb27 I have stock firmware rooted, and still have stock recovery. I want to flash a 4.3 build. What kernel that includes a recovery should I use? I prefer twrp but will use cwm if I need to I also have mobile Odin pro for flashing the recovery/ kernel. This is my wife's phone so I am asking for info so I don't screw anything up. Before this I've been strictly using Htc devices and they are so different in steps to flashing brick free. Thanks

You need to flash a safe kernel via Odin one-click or mobile Odin like El26 or EL29 direct boot, and also the recovery and the kernel are together so keep that in mind
