Upgrading and backup

I want to upgrade my ROM, especially the Radio ROM. But I am a little nervous, as I feel that this is an operation into the deep and decisive structures of my Jasjar.
I am using the excellent backup program Spb backup.
My question is:
If anything goes wrong when I try to update the ROM, will I still be able to retrieve the old version with Spb backup? Or will the new ROM be so deeply entrenched in the Jasjar that I will be unable to return to the old version?
Thankful for answer from someone who knows.

i saved the same software to sd card and found after ROM change i was able to roll back

I haven't actually tried it my self but sprite backup has little tool that you can use to recover a backup across a ROM upgrade. You do the backup as normal, hardreset the phone and run the program to let spritebackup know what the clean OS looks like, then do your upgrade and restore the backup, but point it at the file produced upgrade tool. When I upgraded there were a few things I didn't want to carry across into the upgraded phone, so I just backed up my contacts and reinstalled any programs I wanted after the upgrade.

just started and upgrde, the unit died, i tried to install the old O2 Rom but the exec stays in boot mode with a funny screen, any help please?

[Q] Any way of fixing System UID problem without flashing device?

Until yesterday, my Galaxy S II was working fine and I was recharging it as usual using my AC Adapter and it suddenly started to reboot itself constantly.
I thought nothing more of it until I found out that it wouldn't work at all.
I keep getting "System UID Inconsistent" messages and I try to force close the device but it doesn't work.
I'm using VillainROM 1.2 as my custom ROM as well as using the CF-Root Kernel to install it via Odin.
Is there anyway I can update VillainROM to fix the problem without wiping the data on the internal partition as well as accessing the internal partitions themselves?
(Ironically enough, I actually installed Titanium BACKUP itself on my device but for some reason, even though I paid for the full version, it would never let me upgrade to it!)

Apologies for bumping this thread but I really could do with some advice on how to fix this problem without having to flash the phone.

If phone turns on copy VR 1.4 file to sd card and flash through CWM as per roms instructions .
Or if you still have VR 1.2 on sd card reflash via CWM .
That fails a factory reset ( wipes all data ) may fix .
, I actually installed Titanium BACKUP itself on my device but for some reason, even though I paid for the full version, it would never let me upgrade to it!
You have the pro file on your sd card .

Thanks for the advice and I'd try it if I could, but my phone still won't let me force close.
On a related note, I'm still trying to find out why I can't access the partitions on my mobile phone via USB even though the partitions appear in Windows Explorer.
I can't remember where I installed the upgrade file for Titanium, to be honest. I take it that where the upgrade file is installed could be the reason why the free version can't be upgraded?

[Q] Restoring backups, between firmwares/ROMs

It seems like this doesn't work. I have a full Zune back-up of a 7.5 ROM, but I'm currently running a different 7.8 ROM. I want to restore the 7.5 ROM back-up. Do I have to reflash that ROM first?

The phone is not in the 'Connect to PC' state
What I learned so far when restoring a back-up using the Windows Phone 7 Zune Backup utility, is that after using the utility once, I get a message saying "The phone is not in the 'Connect to PC' state". Now having tried everything, including different versions of Windows, re-installing various apps and different versions, the one and only thing that solves this problem, and it works every time, is to re-flash the phone.
That's some free information for others who encounter this problem in the future. Solves it every time, but only until you use the utility again.

Once I saw a person reporting a similar problem with this, restore factory defaults (hard reset) and even then, back in the initial state. Do the following:
1-See a ROM that you find it cool, download it.
2- Before installing, format the parities /system, /data and /cache. Both the CWM as the TWRP there these options to format these partitions.
If your friend wants to return to the stock, just install again the stock using KDZ updater. I had spoken to choose a ROM to find cool to install only to change the system partition. In these links you can find ROMs to install:
Original android development: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/orig-development
Here are ROMs that were compiled directly from source code.
Android development: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/development
Here have custom ROMs, PORT ROMs, etc. I think here is more ROMs.
