Best way/tools to do a full system/rom backup?

Hello everybody,
I just switched my Samsung Galaxy S1 (GT-i9000M Bell/Canada) to a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919V Videotron/Canada).
I had really good experiences using custom ROM on my first one, so as a developer, I plan to contribute on SGS4 ROMS.
Anyway ...My real question is : I would like to know what are the best tools and methods to make a full system backup (Rom, modem firmware, IMEI....etc).
Thank you!

TWRP has a release out to support the S4 now. 2.5.0.0 I believe. I installed it on my non-rooted S4 yesterday using Odin and did a full system backup.
TWRP confirmed booting on my end. I'm waiting on the next CM10.1 to test nandroid out.

[Q] So how do i get back?

Hi XDAians.
Guys i own a Samsung galaxy S4-I9505 and few months ago i tried root it and some how i did it successfully and later i unrooted it again i am using back the same stupid touchwiz but the problem i am facing is,
1.My phone doesnt gets automatic updates.(i have to do it manually by downloading firmware from samfirmware and then installing it through Odin)
2.Knox cant be installed.
3.The camera app sucks to the coreeeee auto focus sucks every time i get a blued image. out of 5 i only get one clear image
3.After my 4.4.2 update, i cant hide apps. And the touchwiz is so much bad compared to 4.3 .
So my question is is there any way i can fix those above problems?
Now i am willing to root it back again hence i wanted to know which custom rom comes with all the system apps and software(such as wifi direct etc etc) pre installed as touchwiz and which lets me free do play with it!!!
last time i installed CM i didnt have wifi at all and it was really a mess to get that (actually i didnt ) so unfortunately had to get back to touchwiz .
Guys please link me to full root tutorials and how to install custom rom too.

Need help in installing indian rom on sph-l720

Hello sir,
i got the same modified device of galaxy s4 (sph-l720 converted into i9500)
i also read almost all the posts that fall in this category. But i'm no more concerned about that change but all i need help is about to flash that firmware again in my phone.
Actually what i did, i got the phone pre-rooted then i removed some of the bloatwares from the system and also some of the system files too.
Then i come to know that it is not properly working. It got more serieous issues over the time. The i flashed my phone with sph-l720 firmware but it does not let me change network modes between gsm and wcdma. While i can change those networks in i9500 rom.
So i want to know that can i flash i9500 rom on my sph-l720 again "anyhow"!!
If possible send me links or tutorial so that i can flash rom on my phone. Also i am also eager to use lollipop rom (of i9500) on my phone. My phone is now almost unusable.
Give me the straight and forward solution and i am also aware about hardwares of both the devies.
Is there anything that you can help. I will really appreciate that.
I am the follower of xda since 2012.
If anyone could backup their current rom of kitkat (i.e. Modified rom on sph-l720) using twrp recovery and share it with my google drive or onedrive, so i can restore that on phone that it can be usable again. I would be very thankful to them.
Install Phone Info *Samsung* and send the details of it.
