hey guys! sorry be such a newbie.. i have recently rooted my phone and im loving the root apps and all that jazz, i wanna try out some new themes and mods..
my question is.. once you install them.. if you dont like them.. how do you restore back to the original?
Any help would be appreciated! Thankyou!
f*** sorry didnt see the thing about not posting here til now.. delete this! i will go Q&A section
sorry!
Ask a mod to move your question into Q&A.
And to your question, if you unlock your bootloader and push a kernel using adb you'll have a recovery installed, use it to take a backup.
If you only want to have a rooted device with locked bootloader, install CWM recovery for locked BL's and take a backup there.
Easiest way is backup your phone framework-res, and SettingsUI apks.
Flash theme and if you don't like theme, then manually overwrite with earlier backups files over new themed framework-res.apk and SettingsUI.apk.
You can do this over adb, fastboot, or I recommend you "android commander"
No need then mess up with Full rom backup.

Of course your described method is efficienter, but I think for newbies a backup with CWM is a lot easier.

i just saw this thread on the "latest" tab , just do a nandroid backup in cwm recovery , if you dont have recovery then head to the market and download rom manager , andd i apologize but i cannot see what device this thread is under (i am on from xda app) but ask if your phone is supported , or when you click flash recovery it might say your phones name or code name

ROM Manager can't install CWM recovery on our Xperia devices.
We've to install it using ADB and by the way I think the problem is solved either way.
If your device has locked bootloader. Still you can flash your own firmware without userdata partition. Then root device again

if you are unlocked to don't have to keep the custom kernel. you can just hotboot the kernel, flash the zip and then reboot and it will be like you never flashed the kernel but you will be rooted.

You need fastboot.exe. If you have it then first download the SuperUser zip file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24825517&postcount=105
And put it on your SD card.
Then download any kernel that has CWM support. There is one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24826349&postcount=110
Then put your phone into fastboot mode (turn it off then plug it in while holding the Back button - the LED will turn BLUE - if it doesn't then try plugging in while holding the MENU button instead, I can never remember which one it is).
Then copy the kernel to your device like this:
fastboot boot recoveryARC.img
Your device will reboot - when the SONY logo goes bright start spamming the VOLUME DOWN button to enter Recovery.
Then flash the SuperUser.zip file from your SD card. Unplug the phone, reboot and you have root access. You should then head to Google Play and download Busybox Installer and install the latest release.
Good luck.
Isn't this the naff Chinese leaked build? Not the final one?
I think i'll wait for the dust to settle, too much hacking and failure stories right now, along with "fluff" from leaked betas and prereleases and lt15i owners trying to get stuff working.
This is the final release. I love it FWIW.
However, installing it was a PITA - I bricked my device three times before I got it right using Flashtool. But it's worth it - I've been running the beta since it was released and the performance of the final release is MUCH better.
Plus they seem to have supercharged the launcher - I'm only getting a redraw if I've been running a heavy game (Temple Run for example). The beta version would reload the launcher a lot.
There will be a new version of Flashtool that will allow the official FTF to be flashed without all the hassle - might be worth waiting for. The issue is with changing the partition table or something.
only fastboot doomkernel
then install su by recovery
then flash stock kernel by flash tool & exclude all other option
and reboot

Well, there IS one-click-root method, hmm... 3 clicks actually, for stock ICS ROM without unlocking your bootloader.

I'm not having much luck finding a rom I like, that I can flash with safestrap. I thought I found a good version of CM, but after it successfully flashed, it wouldn't boot into it.
So i was wondering if there is anyway to somehow convert a rom to use with safestrap

So twrp backups (or cwmr but what about the blobs?-another topic.) might be an easier path for SS evaluation of a particular rom - just restore system & the locked boot is left by default.

Yeah, theoretically you could only restore system and data from a TWRP backup. However, if he still has a locked bootloader, he wouldn't be able to flash a ROM to make a backup in the first place. If had one previously, it might work.

Dead horse!
The system of a twrp bu has the kernel in it but the portion that has the kernel cannot be altered on a lock phone.
They cannot even restore something very stock like my DD which is a twrp bu not a ROM.

I'm trying to get my BLU Studio Energy 2 to install the new wireless update after having rooted my phone using the guide here. In an attempt to get the update installed, I did a full unroot in SuperSU, flashed the original recovery ROM you posted, ran the "root integrity check" from the bootloader successfully, and wiped the cache. When I reboot my phone and try to do the wireless update, I still get the "Your system is damaged, wireless update is disabled" message. I even tried copying the original V12 update zip you posted to my phone and told it to do a local update. It behaved as though it was installing fine, but upon rebooting my phone, now in the wireless update screen, it shows my current version to be V05. Is there something else I'm missing?

My Energy 2 has V08 and not V05.
So rooted phones has files that change or modify the original files and update process know when users have ROOT!
When The users flash custom recoveries not backup stock ROM. The users go to ROOT immediately and it's "damaged" stock ROM.
If you not modify/delete any files from stock ROM so should ROOT process that not go update to V12!!
