I've got 2 sets of note 3, and both rooted and flashed with custom rom. I did a backup on one of them for the stock firmware before i flashed the custom rom. Question is, can i use the backup for the stock rom and restore it on the other note 3? Will there be any issues?
Thanks!

Restore just the System partition and the Boot partition. It should work.
Out of curiosity, why not use odin?

Will that unroot the phone and get it back to stock firmware (the backup is stock firmware)
what i was trying to do is to get the phone back to stock as much as possible.
When you said odin, you mean download a stock firmware and use odin to flash it?

Yes, it will restore everything to stock, exactly like the backup.
But, you should use odin. It will restore everything to stock.

Thanks! but can you tell me more? If i have that backup, what advantage does odin has over downloading a stock firmware?

Well, for one, odin will restore EVERYTHING to stock. Including the recovery.
Second, the recovery will probably reject the backup if it checks for MD5, you might have to disable it before restoring.
Third, it is more convenient.

if you want to restore the data it should be no problem. i already test it on all of my phone.

I sadly had to go through that on my old note 2 (super slow connection in my country), well what i found out that to skip md5 check in TWRP, i had to backup my EFS (just to let twrp create its folders and settle up) then i moved the backup from another phone to the folder twrp just created, Restored system and /data with no problems
When the recovery check for MD5, open MD5 file on notepad, clear everything and save it. The recovery will not reject it. Trust me :laugh:

I just want to make sure im doing this right.I deleted some bloatware using titanium and now i want to restore all of it back. To do this i will have to flash stock rom using odin right?If so are the firmwares on this site safe?http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900
Also my Baseband ends in ucmk1 while my build ends in ucmk2 so which version of the firmware do i download?
The site is OK. Flash with Odin the mk2. Next time freeze the apps you don't want with TB, don't delete them.

If you choose advance wipe, you could wipe everything except internal and sd card..
So your backups of twrp shoud be in twrp folder, so does TB(depends where you choose to save them either internal or sd).
Afaik there is no cm11 build for n900.
Oh lol i went through all that searching and research just to install cm only to find out they havent released it yet Ty for answering all my questions.I have learned a lot in the past 2 days since getting my phone
I have a n900w8 running cm11. I need to go back to stock.
I have a nandroid of my stock rom and was wondering if i can go back using my backup or if i need to use odin to downgrade?
Just want to make sure there are no issues with bootloaders etc if i restore my backup.
Thanks
Well as technically Nandroid backups are just a clone of your previous OS you should be able to flash it just fine, BUT you should not. Cause in doing that you will face several problems, multiple apps force closing would be one of them. So yes, just wipe the phone first, I mean a complete wipe, then flash a stock ROM of your choice via Odin, root, then restore apps with their data manually using Titanium. I mean the option in Titanium which says install the missing apks only, just hit on that, not the whole system wide restore, cause that will create problem too.
I don't know what model is that though, I have a N9005, so what I said might not even be applicable for your model.

Better to flash the latest stock firmware for your device via Odin.
and restore app(s) later.

If you made a Nandroid backup of stock rooted, it should be safe to restore that TWRP backup. However, not if you've upgraded to Lollipop and wish to restore back to Stock Rooted Kitkat. To return to 100% stock unrooted firmware and to avoid issues, follow this guide or click the image in my signature.
But if you have a nandroid backup, you were rooted so not totally stock. If you have warranty needs, flash kdz.

Just selecting restore and choosing your Nandroid backup should be fine.
Just make sure you're restoring KK to KK, NOT LP to KK.

Hello
I recently rooted my LG G2 and installed Blisspop rom but i wish to go back to stock. Would this be possible to revert back to my stock backup or do i have to reinstall the firmware completely ?
Thanks any help is welcome
Any one can help me ?
Before installing a custom ROM, did you use TWRP to create a backup of the stock ROM? If you did, you could try restoring the stock backup from recovery.

i did indeed i backup up via TWRP but im getting confused cause i keep getting told different things like i need to have a different boot loader etc
The only thing i did was flash the ROM i didn't flash any modem or boot loader to my knowledge
Restoring the TWRP backup should leave the bootloader and modem alone.

You may have to wipe the cache and data, especially if you are going from lollipop to kit Kat or vice versa.

No need. Just make sure you backup your efs and radio because you need it if you want to go back to Touchwiz ROMs. Otherwise, you won't be able to call or use any sort of network options on your phone. EFS is super important. Make a backup, flash cm13. Whenever you wanna go back to stock, restore efs and radio with recovery.

what is entailed in backing up efs and radio? like, will a full nandroid cut it? or, a modem nandroid specifically?
EDIT: nevermind, searching is my friend.

Yes a full nandroid backup will backup your efs too, but have an individual backup on your phone and on your PC all the time. Believe me, you're gonna be very happy someday when you need it.
