My Jelly Bean phone is rooted with Safestrap 3.71. I was using the stock ROM and decided to try a KK ROM. I did a JB nandroid so I could revert back if KK didn't work out. It didn't. Calengoo, my critical calendar app, kept FC'ing. I couldn't fix it. So I went into Safestrap 3.72 recovery, wanting to restore my JB nandroid. But guess what? KK recovery did not see the JB nandroid ! Is that normal? Is it because of the external SD card problem with KK?

I managed to flash recovery without rooting my android (g2 d802), I made back up of my stock rom (which is not rooted) with TWRP.
However I am curious. if, I am rooting my g2 right now, and when I will restore to the stock rom I backed up earlier, can it be noticed that I have rooted? is there a root checker on d802?
I made a backup of the stock recovery and so on...
I've flashed my phone with Odex 4.4 rom and I want to restore a backup of pa rc2. When I restore the back up, cwm says there's an error. The phone boots up but it spammed with a error or FC box and won't let me use the phone.
So I'm wondering if this is a common fault, if so can it be fixed?
Or will I have to wait until pa release a 4.4 rom?
Ps I didn't install a factory image before flashing 4.4
Thanks

Hmm I done same thing yesterday. Did CWM recovery asked you a question after hiting reboot system? When i was doing it I got some message(dont remember it now) and hit Yes.
Though you can reflash the 4.3 ROM and make advanced restore.
I think so, I pressed yes and had that error/ fc box.
What's an advanced restore??
Hi my nexus 4 is unlocked and has cm10.2 installed on it. I decided to update to cm11 4.4 and i got the correct gapps and rom and i backed it up in cwm. When i tried to flash cm11, an error came up and it turned out to be my cwm not being updated. So i tried to restore it to and i got a md5 mismatch error. So now im stuck in cwm. HELP
You can always flash back to stock and start over.

is there any other way out?
I find going back to stock and starting over is best because there are excellent instructions for flashing back to stock, rooting, and installing TWRP.
Do you have any ROM installed? You could try installing an updated CWM, install CM10.2 again, and then try to restore your backup.
just download a updated cwm .img and flash using fastboot.
Last night I was try to flash an Eclispe 4.3 ROM, and recover the apps with titanium pro. and it stuck, it mean it didn't work as 4.2 or 4.4. why?
Hello guys.
This is my first thread on XDA and I am really excited about it.
My query is, can we flash any stock OS via a recovery.
For example I am a N900 user, installed stock KK via Odin, rooted and then installed CWM recovery. Then I installed Nandroid and created a full backup of my ROM(Stock KK with superuser and nothing else)
When I am using any other ROM like Pekaka 6 or Dr. Ketan's L23(with LP bootloader) and when I try to restore my backup via recovery or CWM it's not letting me to restore my backup.
And when I am using any KK based ROM like K14 or alba19986's Ultralite ROM then it's allowing me to restore my backup.

You replied to your question yourself.
Different bootloaders allow different Android versions. For KK ROM you need KK bootloader, for LP ROM you need LP bootloader. And different modems, as well.
And more importantly, KK and LP need different sizes of the system partition, and to change the size of the system partition, you need a .pit file for that. If you want to play with .pit files, be prepared to read A LOT, because flashing a wrong .pit file (through Odin) may very well brick your device, and naturally, this is not a desired outcome.
And for switching between major Android versions, you need to read even more.
I'm about to pass out, so just read some threads here in the general Note 3 forum, they aren't hard to find.
Thank you so much, obelec for clearing my doubt in a beautiful way.
By the way what if I am on LP based ROMs and I am preforming full wipe, rebooting in download mode, installing KK bootloader and rebooting again in CWM then trying to restore the backup?
Thanks in advance.
