Hi guys!
I have CWM recovery on my LG L7, and I would like to remove it, and put back original stock recovery. I want stock recovery cuz when i try to do backup with LG PC Suit, and phone try to go in some backup mode, i boots-up in CWM recovery, and the LG PC Suit says that backup failed.
If someone knows the solution for my problem, that would be great. I would like to put back the stock recovery, or to do backup over PC Suit with CWM installed,
Sorry for my English, and thanks for help!

Why do you want to make backup with pc suite? Make it with cwm. Believe me it's better, and easier way to make a backup.
well, it not just backing up what i need, i also need functional restoring, and i have the same problem with that too. i reinstalled my windows but i saved my old PC Suit backup files fom My Documents, now I would like to put back on my phone that old backup, but i dont know how. can i use my backup files form PC Suit, to restore with CWM ?
I somehow managed to get what i want. I've put phone into update mode, flashed original ROM, and then tried to do backup, and everything worked good. I tried this before, few times, but it didn't make any changes on how the phone reacts when i try to do PC Suit backup. I don't know why did it worked now, but it worked, and that's important to me. Thanks for help!

Hi Guys,
I'm a little new to all this so please bear with me..
Just rooted my MT4g and want to make a nandroid backup before i do anything. However i see that i need to use CWM to flash a custom recovery image in order to make the backup.
Is there anyway to reverse that recovery image back to stock? Incase i need to revert the phone completely back to stock...
Thanks.
Sorry, i think i found it!
I'm guessing this is it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843289
Please close this thread if that's it.. sorry for spamming.
If you completed the root process then you already have CwM recovery. Just use Rom Manager to make a backup. If you have to revert back to stock the process will reinstall the stock recovery img for you.

Hmm okay. I did successfully root the device and I was following this write up to backup the phone using nandroid which says i need to flash a custom recovery ROM.
I just tried to backup current ROM and it gives me a message saying i must flash CwM recovery first and gives me an option to install it. But i'm guessing it's possible to restore that from the link in my second post?
You can use clockwork to restore your factory rom, but if you want to revert your recovery back to stock you will need to fastboot flash the stock recovery back on. This is assuming you have first flashed the stock rom which will leave you without clockwork rom manager installed. There's a few unroot guides that will help you if you need to send your phone back to tmo. I would suggest becoming familiar with ADB and Fastboot. That knowledge will give you more options in a pinch.
Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G
Thanks much!
Yes i am doing a lot of reading right now, but wanted to make sure all the files i needed were out there for the MT4G already. Looks like the factory recovery is out there and it can be flashed back so i'm not to worried.

Yes all the files are out there that you would need to pretty much do whatever needed. Check out the links in my sig for some good things.
Hi,
Couple weeks ago I tried Ubuntu for phones. The install failed (yeah I know, Ubuntu...), wiped my phone, and installed a crappy recovery instead of my beloved touch recovery.
Now I'd like to reinstall the touch recovery instead of the crappy canonical's one, but I don't want to lose everything on my phone.
How can I backup my rom and settings on my computer, install the good recovery, then restore all my datas ?
Thanks for help !

Never tried Ubuntu, but I hope the standard recovery update script works the same on yours.

You don't need to wipe anything to install a new recovery.

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505, which is rooted of course. I am tired of the interface and want something fresh, but before that I need to get through that damn nandroid backup. When I launch my phone into recovery, I have no option to take that backup, which I knew I wouldn't have. I also tried download CWM, and launch that into the custom recovery mod, but that didn't work either, it just sent me into the default recovery. Then I looked around, and found this TWRP or TRWP or something, and tried that, but the same thing happened. I looked a little more and someone had said that you could flash into an .img file through adb emulator, which I of course tried. When I did that, this happened: dropbox.com/s/5e1ae2npir9n8v3/2014-09-14%2022.50.03.png. (Couldn't post as link, since I don't have many posts, and please don't remove it So, obviously, my question is as following; Do you know anything else I could try? I really want to take a backup of my phone before flashing any roms, and I believe I even need a custom recovery mod to do so anyway . Help is appreciated, thanks

Hi mate ,
Try flashing a custom recovery with odin....
I like philz touch
download here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
with philz you just choose backup restore options ( these is for the nandroid backup) from there you select internal sd or external sd.... after a few minutes ....you just made a nandroid
The alternatives did not work
Thank you for your answer. I tried PhilZ touch, but that did not work either for some reason. I tried the zip first, flashing it from my recovery, but when it finished, I was sent directly to the desktop screen, and nothing happened. Same when I flashed through Odin. Or am I just stupid and that was the point, and there's something out there I was missing?
EDIT: It worked afterall, just restarted the phone and launched into recovery. Dumb me. Thank you man, I appreciate it!
thx

Hi, someone can help me to restore twpr? After partition i can't go in recovery mode... after some week of the start of this problem I bought a new phone (droid maxx ) but now i want restore my old defy+....what i have to do? What is a easy way for restore twpr recovery?
Ps: i have a mac and i can't use program for install twpr on defy from pc
Maybe a fresh start is the best solution. Else, if the phone loads Android, try to install 2ndInit and then TWRP.
I've try it but it doesen't work.
Hy,
I have two i9505, I read a lot and installed CWM using Heimdall, I flashed SuperSU to gain root, and made a backup. It labeled the backup with an outdated 1970 name...
I took the SD card out to copy the SD backup, but could find it even when searching for hidden folder.
I put back the SD card in my device, and booted to CWM, the backup was available for a restore process. So before trying any flash I tried out a restore process, but ended up with a stuck in boot. Boot to CWM and bootloader being still available, I managed to flash a workable ROM, but I can't restore to my initial ROM.
Now, I'd like to be able to restore my device to it's initial ROM.
I believe that somehow, the backup I made is corrupted.
As I have another identical i9505 I haven't tempered with yet, I guess I could install CWM (or other custom recovery) to make a backup of the ROM, extract the backup of the ROM from the SD and use it to 'clone' my second device ROM to this one.
But I don't wan't to make any mistake here, so I'd apreciate some help, first to understand where CWM put the backup .tar.
Another solution is to get some stock ROM I can flash. As anyway I don't have any warranty on the device I don't care to restore to exact initial state, I just want to be able to get back to some stock ROM.
sammobile.com/firmwares is the place to go if you want a stock ROM. Download whichever ROM you want, then use Heimdall to flash it, and you should then be returned to stock. For best results, the ROM you download should have no carrier branding, but any of them should work.
I though I would have to do something like that from reading the unroot guide. Also, as I use Heimdall to flash (I have a linuxBox), I will use this guide in french as a guideline.
I noticed that the command line they recommend don't flash sbl1. I don't know if it is required.
Thank you anyway for confirming that.
