Hey guys
I was wondering if after upgrading to wanamlite rom 3.1, which is android 4.3, i will be able to restore a backup i made on the sdcard through recovery of the former 4.2.2 version.
I currently have stock Android 4.2.2 ILO and i am thinking of upgrading to the new Wanamlite rom 3.1. If i do a backup through cwm recovery (is this what's called "nandroid" backup?), will i be able to restore it after the upgrade in a case of a problem or malfunction or if i am not satisfied?
I am asking you this because of the knox issue, that has been said it blocks downgrading.
Thanks

I posted this in the wrong forum earlier and now I can't delete it. Sorry 'bout that mixup
I've been lurking for the past few days looking for an answer to this question, but all the I9505 vs I9505G compatibility, baseband mismatch, and bootloader update discussion makes it very confusing to jump in and know what's happening. I figure I just better ask and apologize if it's common knowledge already.
Is there/will there be a prerooted stock 4.3 zip that is flashable in CWM that I can flash on top of my I9505G 4.2.2 rooted stock ROM without wiping data? To be clear I HAVE a model I9505G and want to upgrade it from 4.2.2 to 4.3 stock while maintaining root. Normally, that's not such a big deal, but this update seems to be causing some kerfuffle/
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys. I recently flashed stock jellybean 4.3 on my S4 and am now hoping to re-root and install a new custom rom but would like a little help before I proceed.
I was using omega rom previously on 4.2 and enjoyed it so was hoping to install version 14 on my updated phone.
My problem is that I need to choose between one of the two tar files available dependant on whether I have the old bootloader XXUB or the new bootloader XXUD. Where do I find out which bootloader I have? My baseband version is i9505xxuemj7.
My second question is (sorry noobish!) can I install clockworkmod and then flash this pre-rooted rom or must I root before flashing clockworkmod and then install the rom?
If Im asking in the wrong section or am being a total noob I do apologise. I have only rooted once previously and came from years of 'ahem' apple iphone use
Any help greatly appreciated guys.
Hi all guys! I just want to ask some feedback about your experience with the latest OTA, since I read a lot of contradicting experiences about it.
I currently have a "stock" 4.3 (JWR66Y), rooted + busybox and with CWM recovery. I read about people saying that CWM won't be able to apply the OTA, people who just say nothing and people who lose root.
Based on my previous experience (4.2.2 -> 4.3) I just unrooted my phone and then used CWM to perform the OTA and everything went ok, so that's why I don't understand why this time it shouldn't work. Same thing with the fact that I may lose the recovery: isn't CWM able to avoid stock recovery from being flashed again?
So, is there anyone here with my same setup who performed the update and wants to share his experience? Anyone who can answer some of my doubts?
Thank you all guys
Hey guys,
Can you help out with a newbie question.
Im running android 4.4.2 on a rooted I9505 flashed with GPE edition rom. Im currently running I9505XXUEMKF baseband on a I9505 recognised as I9505G. On meteor network in Ireland.
My problem is Id like to get OTA updates, but these fail as I have TWRP installed. As I understand it this can be overcome by reflashing the stock recovery. Is this correct?
So my question then is how to know which stock recovery to flash? & can I do a backup of the current one I have installed in case something goes wrong?
Looking at this thread in development subform. & several are listed.

Hi all, I want to install a 4.4.4 ROM. I haven't been around the forums for a while (I've been satisfied with my rooted stock 4.2.2 MDL), but now I feel it is time to upgrade.
First off, the recovery I have right now is CWM 6.0.3.2 touch recovery. Is that OK? Or is it outdated? Does it have auto-loki?
Secondly, will I still be rooted after upgrading to 4.4.4? If not, is there a known root process?
Thanks to all! I really want to get back into the stock Android scene.
