Hello guys.
I want to downgrade my defy+ from CM11 to stock android.
Before update the recovery and install CM11 i made a backup with CWM and now i want to restore this backup.
How can i do this? Can i install CWM using the kitkat on my phone?
Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm afraid of doing something wrong.

hello, I had a version of cm10 installed on rom slot 1 of safestrap, and then I unlocked my boot loader, and installed TWRP recovery, I tried restoring the backup of cm10 I had made on Safestrap, and now I'm in a bootloop and I can't access TWRP recovery. I would really appreciate some help.
EDIT: Never Mind I found a way to go into recovery and was able to restore the backup of my stock rom.
I made a backup of my stock rom on my fido i747 before installing cm11. I made the backup using twrp but now that I installed cm11 twrp was removed and I'm now running clockwork mod. What's the easiest way to go about restoring my twrp backup? I'm guessing I just need to reinstall twrp and restore my previous backup...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The way twrp and cwm create the back up files are different so either u need to re-install twrp or make another back up using cwm...... hope this help
Swyped from MK2 Dark Venomous X1
Google i337 twrp zip xda and flash that in cwm. It'll replace cwm with twrp.
Alright so I tried installing TWRP via goo manager. I downloaded the app and installed the openrecoveryscript. It shows that it's installed, yet whenever I tried and reboot into recovery it still boots into clockwork... I have gone as far as trying to delete Rom Manager app from my phone and I tried installing the openrecoveryscript again. Any suggestions on how I should go about fixing this. I`m currently running 11.0-installerXNPQ02R.
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question from a rookie.
I like changing custom rom since I rooted my LG G2 about a month ago and experimenting some custom roms on my LG G2 D802.
I have managed to successfully flashed few custom rom such, Paranoid Android, ClaudyFlex 2.4, Liquid Smooth and CyanogenMod. I always do backup on TWRP everytime I have fully restore all my app on each ROM i'm using. My question is, is it possible to restore only the apps that I have previously downloaded via TWRP? as I hate re-downloading again all the apps via wifi that sometimes take a very long time to fully restore from PlayStore.
Let say I'm now using CyanogenMod 11 with TWRP 2.7 recovery installed. I want to change my ROM to Pardus Classic HD ROM. Should I just simply restore from my back up (Pardus Classic HD ROM+Gapps+all downloded apps on .zip file) that I have done previously using TWRP recovery or should I clean wipe and install the Pardus ROM first, then do a restore of backup from TWRP backup folder after the Pardus HD ROM has been fully installed on my device.
Sorry for a rookie question... just enjoy the beauty of rooting devices and so keen to experimenting here and there...
Regards,
ePWT

I have discovered that I need it too because my phone is loked and, to enter my carrier unlock code, i need to restore my backup made with CWM.
Looking for the same.
Yesterday i have installed 2ndInit to get back CWM recovery and restore my original stock ROM image.
Android can not complete the full boot, showing the intro of my carrier during a hour while loading Android.
Reinstalled TWRP and recovered my CM11 backup.
I will try again and, if not suceded, i will flash my carrier SBF to unlock my phone.
I will inform any news about CWM restore stock ROM.

I think this happens because the roms use different file systems
Try the Aroma Wiper to change the file system:

I'll try this, but now i'm without time, then i report if it work.
I got my phone working.

About revert to stock ROM, only doing a factory reset to format my data partition fix the boot (I did not try AROMA or safewipe.zip).
I do not tried to restore data from my stock dump after got my phone working because it was not my objective, but i think that it is possible and simple after get it working.
Thanks.
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.
