Yes... Use TWRP, just choose "backup" option when you're on TWRP...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
Thanks... But after backing up the ROM using TWRP... how will I save on my computer.. so that I can use Odin to flash my original (stock) rom....

One more thing... I want to keep both my stock (original) rom and jetmod (a custom rom) both on my phone (like dual boot in PCs)... so is there anyway how I can do this...?

I've got another doubt :P... I just rooted my S Advance.. so I was wondering that will I be able to "officially" update my phone to Jellybean.. As we all know that this phone might (or will) be getting a Jelly bean update anytime soon.. So can I update without any problem(s)... or if I update will it "unroot" my phone.. plz reply asap :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] undaclazz:
The ROM you backup with TWRP also can be restore with TWRP too.. No need odin..

And for jb we can also use odin to update official..

I have recently updated my rooted phone....but the root is gone after the update...

How to restore the root?

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
"update" what do you mean by that?? did you mean a minor update or the Jellybean update???

Thanks.. but you didn't answer my second question... ---> I want to keep both my stock (original) rom and jetmod (a custom rom) both on my phone (like dual boot in PCs)... so is there anyway how I can do this...? (My friend used Rom Manager or something like that to keep both his stock ROM and Cyanogenmod 10 on his GS3.. but will the same app work on my S Advance...)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
1. India got some GB update lately. That is it. No JB yet. :(

2. You can backup your stock ROM (as I did) in TWRP, install custom ROM and backup that ROM too. When you need stock - go to TWRP and restore it. When you need custom - go to TWRP and restore it. And if you did some changes in ROM you backup it again before restoring the other one.

P.S. Did't know about dual boot, google give me this http://lifehacker.com/5826050/how-to-dual-boot-multiple-roms-on-your-android-phone

But I think this work same way as I told you, just automaticaly.

This is the link where diego-ch's TWRP+ STOCK ROM is there... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1873119

If you tried this ROM (and TWRP) then please answer the following questions...

1. On which firmware and version of android is that "Stock ROM" based on... mine is the XXLD1 so will it work (is it compatible)?

2. Is this ROM pre-rooted or should I root tit again?

3. Is there any way to flash this using ODIN by NOT increasing the Binary Counter?

4. So far have you found any "issues" like SUDDEN REBOOT, FORCE FORCE or ANY Other problem (is it problem free)..?

5. After flashing this ROM, can I I flash another ROM (using TWRP) such as JetMod?

I'VE GOT A PROBLEM, PLEASE HELP ME FIX IT!!!

I've rooted my phone using the steps from this website http://www.androidlounge.org/how-to-root-unroot-samsung-galaxy-s-advance-i9070/. The phone worked "normally" for a few days but from yesterday it started showing some weird symptoms.... First Stock apps like Camera, Maps and Messaging didn't open (when opened, only a black screen would come and then hang - leading to force close).. so I performed a Factory Reset.. Now all my stock apps are working fine but all my Downloaded games and Root only apps are showing that "same symptom".. For rooted apps, after granting SUPER USER access the app just closes automatically... I think there's some problem with the Kernel I flashed from that website...

So what can I do.. I'm thinking of many things like UNROOTING MY PHONE AND ROOTING IT AGAIN USING METHODS FROM XDA (but I don't know how to unroot) or DOWNLOADING A WORKING AND PROBLEM FREE KERNEL (link please...).. or REVERT BACK TO MY STOCK ROM WITH THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE AND KERNEL (but I donno how to do that either) please tell me what to do... :(

btw, for update firmware I must unroot?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] hardia:
yeah, i think that's the problem..

coz root will void your warranty, so to get firmware updates from Samsung you must unroot your phone..

or had you installed usb driver for this phone?

It seems that Superuser had some issue with all that apps.. so I've reinstalled all my Root-only apps and I'm also using the older version of Superuser..

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] bobfrantic:
Back to stock recovery, ROM, kernel

THIS WILL ERASE THE WHOLE CONTENT OF YOUR PHONE (backup first)

download latest stock firmware

download odin from tools 'collection' below

check if samsung kies is installed. if not, please install it.

do a full wipe if you have custom recovery installed, otherwise...(*)

put the device in download mode

connect it to computer and open odin

watch from 1:06 to http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...-k3KfY5c#t=66s

done.

(*) this case will be covered soon. (teory: temporarily boot twrp recovery to make a full wipe)

--> Tools are in the proper section.

I didn't do the full wipe with TWRP before installing a official stock samsung firmware. Now I can't get past touching android to setup phone, some error flashes too fast for me to see. I also cannot get into recovery to do factory reset. I have sacrificed my binary count with: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1873119 by flashing with odin to try to get TWRP back on phone.

I've got a problem....

I've successfully rooted my phone - Factory Reset(ted) and also changed its kernel.. Now the problem is that before rooting I backed up everything using Samsung KIES and now I can't restore my stuffs because KIES no longer recognizes my phone (maybe because of rooting).. now how can I fix this problem??
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
Turn off USB debugging, do backup and turn it back on. When USB debugging is off you do not have ROOT.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
no.. I already backed up my phone.. now I can't restore it.. KIES can't recognize my phone anymore...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mj111996:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
All data should be there (You weren't deleting data on your own before rooting? Or you were?), except installed applications. You could install it again if you can't restore.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
And who said you to do factory reset after root? :p After that you do a backup in TWRP... You have stock ROM, and can get back to it whenever you want.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
no.. I after rooting there were some problems like - almost all apps FORCE CLOSED, no bluetooth, battery draining and Games lagging.. so I factory resetted my phone and flashed the stock kernel (rooted + twrp)..

but that's not my problem now.. KIES cannot recognize my device for some reason that's why I can't restore my backed up files..!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] johnnybr:
Sami Kabir, can you give more info? Like If kies give you some message, or if Windows show you some window or message. There are somo know problems about kies and with more info we can figure out...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
Kies can't recognize rooted phone... I just tried with superuser, to unroot. But it can't be done that way... You could go back to stock rom (witouth ROOT) and backup contacts and phone book with google services (online). Or you could find some app that backup that witouth KIES.

Thanks for all your help.. but I've fixed it - actually it was very easy - I reinstalled KIES on my PC and I also found out that my USB cable was not properly inserted to my laptop... LOL (Silly me)

Just to make myself sure: If I root any Samsung Device will KIES recognize that rooted phone after rooting?

and Can I Backup/Restore files after I flash JetMod using KIES or is it that KIES only works with Stock ROM..?

And thanks to SHUT_DOWN for sharing the links, but which is better My Backup or Titanium Backup (but Titanium Backup always Force Closes for me :()
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
I cannot connect my phone with Kies when I use JetMOD. And you will need to do Factory reset to install - so you will lose that data (contacts etc). Try using some applications that backup that stuff.

Maybe because nobody know to answer you. I do not play games, just try them. And we talked about dual boot. You said some friend told you that he use it, ask him to explain to you. Than you could make thread here, on topic how to use it on our phone.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
Ok you people don't play games but what about TwLauncher problem..? Sometimes the Homescreen and the TwLauncher's scrolling lags too.. This happens both when the RAM is free and when the RAM is full.. I did a factory reset (as I told you before) so I have like only 10-15 apps but still most of my RAM is always taken/or is being used (like +300 mb ram taken only like 190 to 200 mb only free)...

I think sometimes there was lag on TW to me too, when I was on stock. But there is no lag now with ADW and JetMOD.

Give me a list of games that lags to you, I will test them. Temple run was working ok, but I play it for 5 minutes max. :)

P.S. If problem continue, soon we will have JB and you can use Triangle away - than send it to Samsung care.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
Thanks a lot for answering :D

After searching I found out about this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2034332 its a script which increases phone's performance... the creator made this for Ace but some S Advance users also tried it.. so do you think it will help me..?

Games which lag are Temple Run, Subway Surf, Fruit Ninja.. (i have only these - rest all uninstalled).. Other thing which lag is TwLauncher (scrolling) and keyboard (typing).. PS: when games lag I just lock my phone, then again unlock it - sometimes lags go away but most of the times it doesnt... :)

PPS: I tried Chainfire 3D, but whenever I enable Chainfire, my texts and graphics go blurry and go out of position... specially the TwLauncher.. so I uninstalled that too...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
I am little busy today, but I will try those games and let you know. I turn off sound and vibrations to keyboard. I think it lagged a bit before with it, try turning that off.

P.S. I just tried Temple run Brave. No lag at all to me (did that tutorial on start).
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
hmm.. thanks.. from before I turned off Sound and vibration is set to minimum - but still it lags sometimes (mostly when I'm using Internet app).. but now its working fine :D

and maybe games no longer lag on JetMod :D I really want to use it but some features like the "Themed" twlauncher - I don't like :(

did you see that "Tweaks" script I linked above.. will that be useful for me?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] naitik2012:
temple run is lagging bcuz it isnt developed for android phone yet just google it for more information like y temple run is lagging on android ull find the reason the only solution is lock mobile whenever game is lagging and unlock it

m playing HD games like the amazing spiderman , asphalt 7 , nfs most wanted , real football 2013 without any lagg but spiderman is lagging a bit so i changed graphic settings manualy and now it working fine :) and games like modern combat 4 is lagging cuz of NOVATHOR 8500 CHIPSET

many games of gameloft are still not developed for this chipset but after s3 mini (which was using same chipset) game will surely available for our mobile

and about RAM issue use FMR MEMORY CLEANER
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
Thanks for the info.. but you see Temple Run is not the only problem I have... Sometimes typing on Keyboard (only when on Internet app) and scrolling through homescreens lag - this happens both when the ram is free and/or full..

FYI: Subway Surf lags sometimes and Fruit Ninja HD lags (the blade it can't cut any fruits - sometimes NO BLADE comes :p)
