Hi guys,
I flashed Jasmine 5.0 and I have a safestrap backup that I want to access without flashing it. Is there any way to access media off that without flashing it? Is it even possible to flash and 4.4.2 rooted stock ROM from Jasmine 5.0? I've heard a little about virtual ROMS but I don't know much about them. Is it possible to load my backup on a virtual ROM?
Thanks all!

You might be able to access files in the backup using titanium backup.

So like an idiot, I upgraded my firmware to MF3, which is fine for now, BUT I used nandroid manager to restore some system apps by mistake which were from the previous firmware and now they are not working. Can someone please upload a fresh nandroid backup of the ATT GS4 MF3 for only the system apps? Thanks
If you don't have other modifications to the system, just flash the MF3 unadulterated ROM to the stock slot using Safestrap and flash the root package from the thread or reroot with the sd card method

Hi everyone, quick question. After i root can I install a custom recovery and boot into the stock rom? I want to be able to make a full nandroid back-up of the stock rom before i flash a new custom rom.
Im using the sprint g2 fully updated.

Yah you can go back to your stock ROM after custom recovery, doesn't effect ROM.....also you can make a backup just fine
Sweet! Thanks. Can you recommend a stable 4.4 rom?

Paranoid Android, Mahdi, OmniRom, SlimKat etc2 ...
you have to taste them all to know which one suits your requirement but those 4 definitely at the top of the piles
Awesome thanks for all the help!

Hi guys.
Question... Some custom roms require you to be rooted to then install a recovery to then backup your efs partition. Is this true? I think I've flashed twrp, then backed up everything I wanted too (not rooted) then just flashed a custom rom. All to lost are rooted anyway and the root part as far as I know is in the system. So does it matter if you root before recovery? Or can I just flash twrp, backup efs, then flash say xnote?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, as most custom roms are pre-rooted you can just nandroid backup and EFS and after that flash the rom. You will not be able to restore apps with Titanium Backup as TB requires root. If you have a TB backup on your computer stored you can restore user apps and data after the flash.
Thanks gee2012.
The only benefit to rooting before recovery flash is to use like you said TB to backup your stuff?
It doesn't bear any difference when flashing the recovery does it?
On this, one other thing, there's no known way of flashing twrp without tripping Knox is there?

Nope, all KK roms (i think from MJ4 and up) trip the KNOX warranty void, no workaround so far. TB backsup and restores user apps and data while the nandroid backup does the whole rom (user and system data).
Spose I could backup then restore in the custom rom from TB from nandroid backup couldn't I? TB had that functionality last time I used it I think.
Is the latest version 2.7 of twrp? Or would you recommend CWM at the moment?
Thank again mate, this is all very helpful. Feel like a noob with all this Knox crap, I've been flashing for years but, I always make sure I know what I'm getting into before I do.
Just found out too, if I rooted in 4.3, I could if kept root to 4.4.2 then used mobile Odin to flash roms haha. And kept Knox from tripping... Oh hang on, a custom kernel would probably tripped it anyway...

For me it seems CWM is more stable atm then TWRP. Try Philz Touch CWM or Chenglu CWM and keep the one you like most. Flash the downloaded .tar files with Odin 3.07.
Thanks mate. Oh well, here we go, tripping Knox!! Haha.
Might go for CWM then.
Thanks again.

Make sure to disable Kies in windows task manager before you use Odin, it might interfere and faill the operation and enable usb debugging on the phone and uncheck reactivation lock in security.
Look here to backup and restore EFS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447342.
Hi,
Is there any way to install any custom ROM without rooting the Galaxy Note 3??
I don't need root because i'm using bank application that works only without root, even if i unrooted after installing the ROM, it won't work.
Thanks

Flash twrp
Then cm12.1 by temasek. He doesn't include root anymore as you have to flash supersu to get root.
Try it. It may work for you.
Hi all,
I have a KLTE Galaxy S5 G900i.
I successfully upgraded it to MM, rooted and installed TWRP 3.0.2.2 test2.
Prior to doing this, I made a nandroid backup of the previous Lollipop OS using TWRP 3.0.0.0.
I need to restore this backup temporarily, but when I do, it bootloops.
Do I need to Odin Flash TWRP 3.0.0.0 before restoring the nandroid backup? Do I need to wipe/format any partitions?
Thanks,
Donald.
Any custom roms are still using lollipop bootloader. You can Odin back in the meantime

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure what you mean??
Odin back??
Cyanogenmod are still using lollipop file systems and marshmallows are completely new. There a few carriers are still on the rollout once that's done cyanogen will merge the latest bootloader to their roms. To answer your question you need a stock 5.1.1 from sammobile and flash through Odin and root.
