I believe you will have to full wipe to downgrade, sorry you lose all.
A full wipe and clean install is needed.
You can make a backup of all your installed apps + data (not system apps) with titanium backup or some other software.
Then restore after fresh rom install.

Hello can anyone explain to me how to backup and after that restore data oh my android
Now i use TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 but now there is 4 versions new and i want to update.I read posts and people say that it's better to make fresh clean install,not update.
Ok i will.but cai i restore my aplications after that or i make install all of them again
Thank you
Do normal android backup via cwm, then wipe everything, flash new rom and after that go to the advanced restore and restore only data. But of course you can flash new rom directly and you will see if it's ok .
If it will be unsuccesful, you still have your backup ..
If you want to only restore your apps on the newer version, you could use Titanium Backup (from Android Market) to back up and restore the apps and their data caches.
I would first do a cwm backup, then back up the apps and their data with Titanium. Then flash the new ROM. Try first doing a custom restore -->data only, and if that doesn't work out for you, you can do a wipe and then install Titanium and at least restore your apps and their data caches.

Hi Everyone,
I have an P5110 running stock Samsung 4.04 ICS firmware it's rooted and has cwm touch recovery installed and titanium backup pro (root) installed.
My question is this how do i verify a Nanodroid backup ?
I have read it checks the backups before a restore.
However, When running version 5.xx of CWM recovery it failed twice to restore data and since i couldn't i find a way to check the data before i restored it.
Data was overwritten, however cwm reported a fail to write to data, and sure enough no data had been written but /data had been formatted.
Is their a way to verify a backup before i choose to restore it ?
i am now using ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0
thanks

actually i want to ask,did i have to wipe all the data,cache partition or dalvik if i want to flash to wajk ui room (miui) from miui by sbasil .. it from the same miui base right? i don't know if gotta wipe or not?
Backup the data with MIUI Backup application and then install wajkui after do wipe data/factory set. If you install the WajkUI,restore the datas with MIUI Backup Application.

i have done what u've told,but after i restore all the system data,its seems that after unlock the lockscreen,the phone will boot,its kinda loop
Please have a look again the rom description... as far as I know Sbasil made 2 miui roms (32 & 35 based kernel). Later on he only supported the 32 kernel and left the last. The wajkui by forumber2 is based on 35 kernel, so you have to upgrade your phone first into official GB which has to the same kernel... just take a look at the list of u8800 thread in the development section

When changing ROMs, I always use Titanium Backup Pro to backup and restore my data.
When changing your ROM, I always wipe my things. This way, I can make sure that there are no files left in my phone from the previous ROM. This prevents any problems with any ROM that is being flashed.
I hope I've helped.
thanks a lot for all the advice,now i can use it the rom!
OK, I've been doing this for a while but was thinking this could be an issue. I usually SWP Roms pretty often, but lately have been just upgrading to the latest Purity ROM when available. Before I upgrade I do a full titanium back up with titanium pro. I factory reset my phone, install ROM, gapps, and custom kernel. I go through the normal Google setup and make sure titanium downloads as quickly as possible. Then I restore apps and system data from backup. I'm wondering if it actually defeats the purpose of the factory reset if I am restoring system data. Should I change my process?
Thanks

If you are just upgrading/updating the rom that's already installed, normally it's ok to dirty flash. When I do that, I normally wipe the cache and dalvik via recovery then flash the new version. If the devs say not to dirty flash and to do a full wipe (not the sdcard), then I would go with what they say to do.

Titanium backs up the system apps. ( although I only backup the user apps ) And when u wipe everything from the recovery, you are basically wiping away the rom. So I dont think it 'defeats the purpose' .
Just some advice, I have run into problems with titanium restoring system apps and data, so I recommend u just backup the user apps. And if u are updating the rom, its ok to dirty flash ( flash without wiping data )
It recommended to only backup user data apps only as once you changed to other ROM, the system data app might cause issue.
When upgrading to a newer version of the same ROM, save yourself the time and just dirty flash. But do make the backups in case anything goes wrong. If you have issues after a dirty flash, just try a clean flash.

Hello.
I had my Note 3 with 4.3 firmware working properly but it's starting to give me problems so i guess it's time to upgrade to Kitkat with a fresh install.
I have the phone rooted and i have a lot of pictures, apps and tweaks i did (like un install bloatware...).
What's the best way to do a fresh update with latest rom and install back my pictured and apps?
Thank you
If you have a phone with unlocked bootloader then just download the KitKat ROM of your choice (I recommend same region ROM as your living location, like if you are in UK download the UK KitKat ROM) from www.sammobile.com, and flash with Odin in desktop. Before doing that take a system wide backup with Titanium Backup Pro and send the backup to your PC. Then go to recovery, and wipe everything (master wipe) and then flash the KitKat ROM as I said at beginning.
The restore process via Titanium is different than taking backup though, you can't restore by using the option system wide restore, that will create problems, you will need to use restore missing applications with data option.
Ok thank you for the info.
I will do as you suggest.
Wish me luck with the restore specially.
