JB & KK ROM Switching - Philz made it easy!!!​

Since many days/months I was trying for this and now I confirmed it.:laugh:

Now its easy to switch between JB and KK rom without flashing each Os via flash tools.

Things used:-

1. Flashed KK stock rom using SP flash tools. (My phone came with stock JB S003 version)

2. PhilZ 6.57.9 cwm 6051 based recovery (thanks a million [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] sir for recovery and [MENTION=4478781]yuweng[/MENTION] sir for the port tool)

3. Jelly bean ROMs - Purexperia z2, extreme v1.

4. Kitkat ROMs - LG G3 UI ROM, Xperia Z3.

Procedure done:-

1. Flashed KK stock S007 version using spflash tools.

2. Made Philz recovery 6.57.9.

3. Flashed Purexperia Z2.

4. Booted ROM and checked all things, installed few apps like whats app, xposed, gravity box.

5. rebooted and confirmed gravitybox working.

6. Took backup of contacts using Super_Backup

I used Super_Backup_Pro_1_7_12_apkgalaxy:p

7. Took backup of apps using gobackup 3.51 and Titanium_Backup_PRO_v6_2_0

8. rebooted in recovery and backed up this ROM on internal storage and external stoarge (Philz is simply awesome just 3 mins for 1.2gb

backup):good:

9. factory reset, format system in recovery.

10. flashed extreme v1.

11. followed 4 to 9.

12. flashed LG UI 3 rom KK.

13. ROM booted as usual KK rom(one reboot inbetween) and to my surprise everything is working fine. CAMERA TOO.

14. Took backup of rom in recovery (internal and external storage)

15. Flashed Xperia Z3 rom (after wiping) and took backup in recovery.

16. Now restored every rom (2JB and 2KK) from the backup with different combinations

From external and internal storage JB after JB, KK after JB, KK after KK.

17. Tried restoring of app and data from JB to KK and vice versa.

results - go backup not useful at all.

Super_Backup - can restore contacts, msgs and app not app data.

Titanium_Backup can restore app+data (and working)

=================================================================================================

So conclusions are​

1. Philz recovery 6.57.9 is universal recovery for JB and KK ROMs - can install, backup, restore and switch between roms.

2. U can restore any rom from recovery if u have taken backup, everything functioning normal after restore.

3. Super_Backup can be used to restore contacts, msgs

4. Titanium_Backup can be used to restore apps and their data.

==================================================================================================

Some observations

1. [MENTION=2791413]chinasa[/MENTION] mentioned about data wiped from

sdcard0/internal storage - i havnt experience it till now. Flashed so many roms with my MP3 collection on my internal storage.

If anyone with same issue please reply.

2. Many users @ ashishji12, [MENTION=5978103]allan.vaz[/MENTION] reported issue about camera prob after flashing a jb rom on stock KK (their phone came with kitkat)

I havnt faced this issue using philz recovery.

MY request to u is please try using philz recovery and try flashing.:good: and report back.

I will surely help u to resolve this issue (I got one solution but no one came now with problem:p)

3. Philz recovery is fast in backing and restoring data

Some observations by other users

1. This method is defiantly working for those got their mobile with JB - tried on my own and @Aftab Memon phone.:good::good:

Those who got their mobile with KK please try flashing whole stock KK rom and report, thanks to [MENTION=2791413]chinasa[/MENTION]

for trying.

2. [MENTION=4620757]m0han[/MENTION] reported that my backup app can be used for backup-restore of data in JB & KK switching.
