Hello,
Next time please make a double post only after 24H without an answer, otherwise modify the one before.
CWM and TWRP recoveries don't backup and restore /preload partition, only Philz does. In that partition there are some system apps/services, without them you may have weird errors or something not working at all. The only way to restore stock ROM in your case is to reflash with Odin. Next time use Philz recovery to backup your stock ROM (enabling custom backup and including /preload) if you don't want to use Odin again

Hi
In preparation for a flash to stock (a la undercover and efrant), I backed up twice via cwm and downloaded to my PC via the browser server and also carried out app backups to each of drop box and box using Titanium.
Having flashed a stock image as described, I find that neither cwm backup works (unexpected end of archive and md5 mismatch) and when I restore either Titanium backup the data for the Safe Notes app isn't restored.
So my question is mainly: how do I ensure a reliable backup?
Secondly, does anyone have any ideas how to restore my important Safe Notes data?

Hi, I want to flash WanamLite ROM to my new Galaxy S4, but last time I flashed WanamLite without backing up I ended up with a generic IMEI, so I need a way to back up my phone and IMEI and all the other important stuff, I can't afford Titanium Backup PRO right now, any other way to backup my phone so I can restore it in case anything goes wrong?
Once you flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm you can backup your efs folder, you should keep that folder somewhere safe. After that you should make a nandroid backup and also keep this safe incase you want to go back to your stock rom
What I also like to have is my stock firmware on my pc so if anything goes wrong I can flash the stock fw
Edit: you can also backup efs manually but I am not informed about these techniques so I cannot tell you

I'm already rooted, can I back up the efs before I flash the rom?

There are various efs backups on play such as this although I haven't used them to restore them personally
If you're already rooted then you can also just flash a recovery with sgs4 flasher from the play store. Really nice for keeping updated. Backup efs With the custom recovery, or as the person above me stated, use an app for it

Hello everyone, I just rooted my Note 3 and want to flash Dr.Ketan's latest room. But I want to make sure that I had a backup of everything like EFS, IMEI, Modem and everything else on my phone. There is a option in CWM recovery of backup. Does this backup backsup everthing? Or any other way of doing full backup?

Hi,
I always make a backup in recovery before flashing a new ROM or MOD. I am using CWM Recovery v6.0.4.7
I sometimes have the problem that a restore is "corrupted". Restoring in recovery is successful, but after restoring I have problems with FC's of a lot of apps.
This is not with all backups, but with 2 out of 10.
Is this problem familiar? Anybody a way to solve it? Of course I want to be sure that my backup is 100% successful and that I dont have problems with FC's after restoring.
Before restoring, I always do a full wipe of data/cache and dalvik.
Thanks for reply!

I don't know the answer, but i had my problems with cwm too. I now use twrp, no more issues.

Hello guys. I have my Note3 for almost 4 years. I used to have stock 4.2.2, and with that rom CWM saved and restored backup normally. Now I made a clean install of RR-N-v5.8.3-20170526-hlte-Unofficial.zip.
I installed some apps and tried to make a backup. CWM (n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar) reported backup successiful, but it's not working. File Explorer HD reports "Unable to open" when I try to open backup's foler. Root Browser and USB sharing shows the folder empty. I'm afraid of trying to ask CWM to restore a backup.
Use TWRP to backup .
