If u wabt your stock Rom back ... Better Thing to do is! Flash Firmware With Odin!

i know but i want to make sure its exact same as the one i had. the other ace i have is the exact same model, same provider, same firmware. i want to know if i can restore from that phones backup onto mine.

also is there anything i have to do before going from cyanogen to stock?

U Will get most probably md5 mismatch ... if not md5 mistach ... for sure bootloop ... theres way but it a looooot harder than simply flash from odin!

I can make u a step by step ... but first i need to know your country and your provider in case u have one

i live in canada and my provider is koodo

This is getting worse by the minute ... i'll see what i can do for u!

1st of all ... You have to bring back your phone to rfs system file ... ! Use ext4 manager!

2nd Veryyyy Important! You have to use exactly the same recovery to backup and restore ... Ex. Backup With CWM 5.0.2.6 - Restore With CWM 5.0.2.6

3rd Lets Start Open Ext4 manager . You'll get an error concerning the kernel! Ignore it! Continue Choose Convert to rfs' Now Wait until its finished!

4rth - Reboot into CWM and do a restore ... Wait Until its finished, Reboot, Done!

If every thing went fine you'll be ok! if not get back here pm me

take care

thanks, im gonna try this in couple of minutes

sorry one more question, is ext4 manager an app, i cant find it.

nvm, i found it

i am flashing mine back by odin how long does this normally take mine has been on set up connection for 20 plus mins does it really take this long or am i missing something i am supposed to setup lol
