    Root [International] Backup carrier's recovery before flashing CWM

    I'm trying to backup my entire 1st generation Moto G before doing anything like rooting or flashing CWM or CyanogenMod. From googling, it should be possible by booting from CWM without flashing it. I've had no success: > $ fastboot.exe boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img > downloading...

    I downloaded CWM for Moto G from ClockworkMod ROM Manager - Recoveries. My intent was to backup the entire phone, including the ISP's ROM, before rooting or even unlocking the bootloader. I didn't know whether I could avoid unlocking the bootloader, but I was going try backing up without...

    Root Moto G locked/unlocked state not captured in backed up images?

    I've read and re-read forum postings (including responses to my own) pertaining to unlocking the boot loader. From these postings, it seems to me that the locked/unlocked state of the boot loader is not captured in the images in the various partitions that can be backed up, e.g., using...

    Thanks again, Scary Alien. I know that custom recoveries are like CWM (which I intend to use), but the rest of your bracketed sentence went over my head. But no need to elaborate, I think I can proceed with what I've come to understand. I also understand what you said about running the stock...

    Mods Does flash mean what it use to?

    Thanks, Scary Alien. I apologize for the long delay in responding, but I only have slivers of some weekends to dig into this in earnest, though I was perusing your response earlier. Just to help me browsing the online info, is it somewhat customary for veterans to sometimes refer to a...

    Mods Does flash mean what it use to?

    My first smartphone, and I'm still on my months-long exploration of how to backup up the original OS before installing CyanogenMod. I want a backup of what's on the phone, before rooting or unlocking the boot loader, not a downloaded stock from the internet. I've ran across this question a few...
