And your problem with that is.....?
To OP.....another useful thing to be aware of are the ezbase roms, which are essentially stock deodexed roms with root, these may be found in Dev section

Just to clarify...a nandroid backup is a complete system image created when you hit the backup button in cwm recovery (a bit like windows restore to a previous working state)

Flash stock kernel then use toolbox to provide dual recovery and restore your data.
thanks for the replies but perhaps you didnt understand my problem...i cant go back to stock 2.1 rom which is necessary for flashing any kernel. so i cant flash stock kernel or dual mode recovery.

Mind to elaborate why you CAN'T flash back to 2.1? What's keeping you?
simply put after i flashed alfs kernel i got cwm recovery installed. i didnt make a backup of stock rom. so after installing gingerdx v013 i now have no way of reverting back to stock without flashing a ftf file which i really dont want to do.

Ok, if you don't want to flash back through the 2.1 FTF image you're somewhat out of options ... as the only way to "go Stock" from a custom Kernel and custom ROM is ...
... Flash back Stock Kernel (that only works through Flashtool - irakkarl has a link to the stock kernel FTF in his FroyoPro thread).
... Flash back Stock 2.1.1 through either PC Companion ("Repair" - which will most likely fail with "No updates available" due to the higher version of the custom ROM) or through Flashtool using the ROM FTF.
I think you also need to relock the bootloader.

Well on my cwm recovery when I go to backup and restore then restore there is an option that says restore from xrecovery, and that's how I do it.

He's not asking to go back to full stock, he's asking how to go back to stock rom 2.1 from his xrecovery backup. Read it carefully.

and bjay just suggested an option open for me. no need to bash him like that.

which sounded more like a bashing
but we're not here to fight on trivial matters....so umm any chance somebody backed up his eclair system in cwm recovery. please upload it to 4shared.com and post the link here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431231 here you have the cwm backup,but,it will not change your kernel,you need to useflashtool,please read it carreful,when i posted that link i knew what you need ,remember you need flashtool to flash the kernel there is no other way.cheers
edit:you can change the kernel ,you don't need 2.1 eclair for that,you need ftf kernel file and that's all.
Verry simple
To restore a xrec backup in cwm just rename the xrecovery folder from sd card to cwmrecovery
Leave a thanks if I helped
So i just bought a defy+ and it has 2.3.5. Stupid carrier.
Well, im trying to find which baseband is using but its not listed in the about phone menu. Is there any other way around?
I want to install a custom rom with 720p, but all there are so many different kernels i have no idea which one to use, or if i even need to flash one. My previous phone was a Xperia X8, you just had to unlock BL, flash kernel and flash rom. Here, theres the SBF files , the nandroid stuff. Are you supposed to use both?
If anyone can recommend me a rom thats not MIUI(i need my drawer ok) or ICS, i would appreciated.
Anyway, i need to know the baseband to see if i can try the soft simunlock.
Here is my build number :4.5.2-51_DFL-50 whatever it means.
ps: i already made a backup with cwm of the stock rom and also rooted my phone.
To flash a sbf you have to download RSD Lite and drivers, here u have the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537. Then, install the rom u like from recovery. Here u have all Epsylon and Quarx ICS nightlys (ICS, CM9) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100. With Defy+ use gb Kernel.
I just have some questions regarding the kernels. If i install the ICS roms and then i want to go back, which kernel i need to flash to be able to restore my phone using the nandroid backup i made.

None, because when you are doing full backup a copy of a kernel is included.
Then im going to update CWM, make a new backup just in case and start to play a around a bit.
Thanks for the help ^^
ps: is there anything wrong with 2.3.5? just asking because i hardly see any posts related to this android version

2.3.5 is perfectly fine! It's what I use as a base for both CM7.2 and CM9 builds for Gingerbread and it's great! It's rootable and you can even flash down to Froyo if you wish so, there's a special version 6 Froyo sbf in the forums.
If you have any doubts or if anything confuses you, please do ask before trying, that will save you both time and nerves
Full 2.3.5 sbf that I use: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...22_A022_M002_HWp3_WIG148094_Service1FF.sbf.gz
*EDIT* Just read the whole first post You can use Quarx's CM7.2 and CM9 defy+ nightlies on your phone without flashing anything else but the ROM zip and gapps zip (optional, as you know). Both available here - http://quarx2k.ru/
i have one more question regard the defy+,
If i flash the cm7.2 or cm9 builds by Quarx and want to go back, i just need to restore the backup i made with cwm right? or do i really need to get the sbf from my carrier?
is there any difference(flashing a sbf or restoring form nandroid. Not in procedure but in the final result)?

Yep restoring the backup will suffice but if you want to get back your warranty you need to uninstall CWM and any other root apps and unroot your phone. That won't leave any trace of root.
Following are some main differences in flashing nandroid and SBF:
1.) Nandroid backup restores your phone to exact state as it was during backup. SBF gives you back exactly how your phone was when you purchased it. Thus, you still have root and CWM after nandroid whereas your phone is clean as new after SBF(recomended to claim warranty).
2.) SBF flashes almost everything except data partition! Nandroid flashes even the data partition..
Thanks for the help, ill use nandroid until i get back. Besides cwm is easy to remove.

I have a question, I have a stock defy (Bayer, according logcat)..
The android version that it has is 2.2.1 and build version is 3.4.2-107_JDNL-9..
Once I root it and install CWM, can I just flash any rom, like the one you link above or I need to use RSD lite for something before?
I'm sorry for the noob questions but never had a motorola before, always nexus line which has unlocked bootloader..

Yep once you have CWM you can go on with flashing ROMs with ease. You need RSD lite and SBBF only if you soft brick your phone(Very hard!) or want to go back to stock to claim warranty.
Thank you for your help

Hi everybody. I just rooted my phone today and installed a custom ROM but after looking at it for 5 minutes I decided I want to go back to my original ROM (The one the phone came with). I made a backup before flashing the custom ROM with Clockwork mod (If that's what it's called?). I might install a Custom ROM later but I'm not going to un-root my phone. How can I do this? Revert back to my stock ROM?
Edit: I didn't know about the thread thing, sorry
Just wanted to make sure I was on the safe side. I didn't know I could make 2 backups. That's good to know. Thanks for the tip ;D

Lol. Why u always open new thread bro?
Just change topic from ur old thread and i think its continous question so u will get the flow from ur answered..
So u have nandroid backup from stock rom via cwm recovery. Great.
U can use it to change all ur previous rom. Just go to recovery mode and choose recovery. If i wanna backup ur custom rom is good idea too. So u have 2 backup for stock and custom rom.

Hello XDA, I have just rooted my Nexus 4 and would like to install PA 3.68. I just have a few questions.
- How's the battery life with the stock kernel on moderate use?
- Is it a reliable rom?
- I am coming from stock rom do I still have do do a factory reset?
- I have done a NANDroid backup with Teamwin recovery to get back to the stock rom can I just restore the backup?
- More of a question with Teamwin recovery, does the backup option also backup the kernel?
Thank You.

Hey guys
Quick question here guys, im a complete noob on android. Ive rooted my phone, and have installed greenify, titanium backup, and clockworkmod recovery software. I read somewhere i should have made a back up copy before rooting. Is it too late to unroot, or can i still do it now? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
The general idea is to to root, install a custom recovery and make a backup before you proceed with installing any new root-access apps, roms, etc. Backups (nandroids) are made in a custom recovery like twrp or, in your case, cwm. Cheers

If your already rooted and have MDL/MDB bootloaders and a custom rom you can make a nandroid backup at anytime. This is good practice whenever switching Roms performing a backup before flashing a new rom. It gives you something to restore in case you have issues with the new rom or just don't like it and want to be back to where you were before. Think of a nandroud backup as an ISO IMAGE where everything is saved/restored exactly like the point you made the backup.
Now if you WANT to save a backup if the stock firmware right after you rooted it then no you cannot just do that easily. To do it you will need to Odin back to the stock firmware (MDB/MDL firmwares) then re root your phone, make a backup, then flash the Roms you want.

Well darn. I'm running stock mdl. Haven't tried a custom rom because I don't have a external storage card, not to mention after using Titanium and greenify and whatnot I've pretty much got it how I want it at this point. Oh well live and learn. Thank you for the information. There's so much I'm trying to learn post iPhone 5.
