no, it will not, cuz all that is suppose to be in the backup you made before, just clean the system before restoring, wipe data, system, cache and dalvik, then try restoring your backup and wait at least 10 minutes, and report back, good luck cheers:fingers-crossed:

bro if there's nothing else then you will have to flash a stock rom thru Odin, and it will wipe your phone completely, but at least you will be able to boot your phone again, report back, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:
can't i flash it the stockrom trough odin and then just restore the data ?

You upgrade your device to 5.0, so kitkat4.4 cwm backup didn't work 4 u bcuz ur baseband version changed with lollipop upgrade & cwm recovery is unable to backup baseband/modem.
U have to downgrade ur firmware to kitkat4.4 & then cwm backup will work.
how do i do that is it enough to just re-flash via odin will it reset to the correct modem and stuff?

Yes,after flashing correct stock firmware ( full Odin package like xxx.tar.md5) with Odin ur device become brand new: official.
U have to root it again & again install cwm recovery.

do you know if there is a backup app that backs up all like baseband and such so i can downgrade with simple backups?
Hi, in order to restore your Android kitkat backup you need to downgrade from lollipop. In order to do that you have to flash a stock ROM (from sammobile). If your device is not locked for your service provider then it shouldn't really matter which region's ROM you flash. Then flash cwm recovery to restore your backup. If after flashing the stock ROM you enter a boot loop (and maybe not allowing you to enter download mode to flash cwm) try entering recovery mode (Power + Home + Volume Up) and factory reset your phone through the stock recovery. This should restart your phone without causing a loop. After that just flash cwm back and restore your stock backup.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.

How Much does nandroid actually store?
I'backed up my rooted 4.3 state with CWM.
I then flashed with the 4.4 google edition kitkat rom
If I try and restore from my previous backup in this state will it work or do have to re-flash with 4.3 before I try and restore from the CWM nandroid backup??

CWM is good, but i prefer use TWRP or Philz Touch (coz is updated and have more options). If u did a FULL nandroid backup (boot, system, data, cache, recovery and EFS) I dont think u will have problems:
- Go to CWM
- Make full wipe (system, data, cache and dalvik cache)
- Reboot in CWM
- Restore the 4.3 backup
- Enjoy it again :highfive:

Ok this didn't go quite as easily as you suggested.
I did a standard backup with CWM (not sure if that included cache end EFS)
I did a full wipe and then restored my 4.3 backup.
This just resulted with it hanging at the Samsung text on boot.
I've managed to get back to where I started with a backup I made kitkat.
I'd be happy to stay with kitkat but I have no sms (messaging app dies as soon as it's launched)
Do I need to get hold of the stock firmware and do this via odin??
If so can anyone point me towards a good link for the stock Samsung firmware for the GT-I9505 S4??
Thanks in advance,

If you want a stock from samsung here you go.Sammobile
I have replaced the framework files in the system... rebooted the phone and got many errors... can't even view anything in the phone.
Do I solve the problem by installing the bootloader and Modems XXUFNC9 by odin3?
Do I lose my files by installing this?
If this worked, would I be able to do a backup using recovery mode?
Thanks in advance
you can use your phone again after flashing stock firmware and wiping data & cache
you will lose any data
I dont recommend that you do a backup in this status because you missed the phone up
always do Nandroid backup when the phone is clean !
if you have a previous backup you can restore it

so there's no way to restore my files?!
go to recovery then do a custom backup and choose data & cache (dont select any other option) and hit start backup
then after flashing & wiping flash a custom recovery and go to custom restore and choose data & cache
and hit start restore
your phone should work with previous apps
make sure to backup in SD CARD !

follow my steps
go to recovery
go to backup and restore > custom backup to /storage/sdcard1
then select everything instead of the SYSTEM then start backup
after that wipe data & cache
then flash stock firmware via Odin
then wipe data & cache
then flash a custom recovery
then go backup and restore > restore from /storgae/sdcard1 and select the folde qnd hit start
everything should be ok

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.
