Hello.
I am sorry for dumb question.
But i dont understand very well
I am on sac23 rom s8 port
My question is that when if I wanted to flash a mod Like air command etc.
Will i have to download it of s8 or s7 edge
I mean like i had selected my device as s7edge in xda app
Should i stay on that or because of the port i should change it to s8 for mods ?
Sorry if i didnt explained well.
Thanks in advance

Stick to S7
Also do not forget to make a backup in TWRP might save you a lot of hassle if one flash goes wrong
:good:

it is not reccomended to do this (its called a dirty flash) you can choose to do this anyway when installing a custom ROM most of them come with an option in the AROMA installer letting you do a fresh wipe or "dirty flash" it will just install the ROM over your current leaving your settings/apps there. Or if there is no AROMA installer with the rom just dont do a wipe before you install. no need to restore using a backup
dirty flash should be fine if you are upgrading ROMS to a later version but you should always check the thread if that is okay. you may run into problems if its a huge update.

heres some info on EFS > http://www.naldotech.com/galaxy-s7-s7-edge-backup-restore-efs-imei-partition/
recovery is TWRP itself
system is the ROM
Data is your apps etc..
a standard backup is already seleted in TWRP which is
Boot / System / Data
you may as well backup EFS as well its only a few Kb

So, im about to change (update to new version) rom on my device.. So i did full backup trough CWM, and i need to wipe phone trough CWM before installing new rom.. So will that wipe delete my backup ?
It is maybe a stupid q, but its worth asking
Thanks in advance.

Your backup will be saved. That is the purpose of CWM. We can easily try different builds without wiping out our previous build and data to go back them. This makes it easy to try different builds to see if you like them or not and revert back.
So.. if im installing new build i dont have to wipe my phone at all ? Just install it over the cwm, and then restore
so i made a backup of my 4.4.4 in CWM and then i upgraded to 5.0.1 and made a backup of it too in CWM but when i Restored my 4.4.4 i got stuck in a boot loop i tried removing all cache and dalvik cache but it ain't working do i have to do a full reset or does it even work to down grade via backups like this?

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 ?
it works when i restore my 5.0.1 backup but not my 4.4.4 =<

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.
For flashing stock firmware Tutorial,search on Google.

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.

Hi Guys,
I think I pressed advanced wipe on TWRP and it deleted my operating system.
How can I get my phone back to stock Lollipop if possible ?
Thank you
Flash stock rom via Odin or restore your Nandroid backup via TWRP .

TWRP is still there, so you can install a custom ROM from in there (if you don't have a full backup (nandroid) to use) The Advanced Wipe comes up with all options unticked - which ones did you tick? All of them? If it was only system your data is still on the Internal SD and Data sections so you may want to do a backup of at least Data to your extSDCard from TWRP before anything else.

1)TWRP Backup includes EVERYTHING. It creates an exact image of your phone. All apps, their data, sms, call logs, just everything, lol.
2)only Zip

Nope the TWRP backup the system and rom also almost everything if you installed another rom and used the backup it will go back to the rom you had I think but if you can check backup data and apps only that will backup your apps and data only

First of all, you know that will trigger Knox and you will lose your warranty. There are some other implications of that, are you sure you've read them all? If you have no problems with those things, things are pretty much the same as on every other phone and twrp.
I know it will trigger Knox, and that's ok. This is a temporary device until Galaxy 8.
I put TWRP on the phone, now it won't boot, and got lots of words when trying to backup in TWRP.
That's why I asked.
what does it say when you try to back up.
You may have your phone encrypted that why the back up is not working.
You may need to remove the encryption to get it working properly.
You can also use smart switch to make a back up to be used in case of issues.

Do you need SU before no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0.zip?
If I format data partition I can backup etc.
But I want to backup apps to!
So basically I want to install TWRP(and what's needed) and backup ROM with all apps. And then boot the ROM and run device as before.

First no verity and supersu after, according to the article. By formatting data you won't lose your apps, just data on sd card (internal memory). The rest is on system partition
On, last time, did I get this right, from stock rom, do this
Install TWRP, then SU (I don't want SU) backup, should this work? It's says lots of error in data...
So once again from clean, what do I have to do?
Install TWRP, then what? Want to backup all apps I mean a full NANDROID backup.
Still no, after TWRP it won't boot.
Directly after TWRP it's says something bad "/data"
Then tried to run run the decrypt, still no no
Please anyone, help, it won't boot after TWRP...

Can you try fastboot format data and fastboot format cache commands and see what's happening?
i can format data partition no problem, even in twrp, but all apps dissapear as i tought. and then i even didnt bother to try and boot as i want to do a full nandroid.

If you thought you could install twrp and do a backup of the stock phone you were wrong, twrp can't read the data partition since its encrypted, you have to format data and then you can do a backup, but since there's nothing there then there's no point.
