Want to save factory settings before modifying MK808

[grymace]

Hello forum,

I'm somewhat of a newbie, so please forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question. I ordered my MK808, based on all of the interest and support that I've seen in all of the android forums. I've just received my unit, and I'm anxious to test and modify it with the Finless 1.5a ROM - but first, I wanted to learn how to make a system backup, or a "restore point", so that I have something to fall back on in the event that anything goes wrong. My unit is brand new, so it'll be like making a factory restore kit - similar to the ones that you get with a new pc. I'm a little unclear on some of the procedures (ROM flashing, firmware installs, etc.) and I don't want to do anything before I have an "undo" at the ready. Can someone point me to a thread that details this prodedure?

Thanks in advance...

If you want to make sure you can revert back to stock and you are not worried about your settings and apps you have installed you can just re-flash the stock firmware here. It will be like it just came out of the box.

The latest custom firmware by Bob is here.

Thank you, Spotopolis.

I'll give this a try tomorrow...

Spotopolis/Forum,

I want to save my own stock firmware. I believe that it's a later version that the one offered in the link that you posted. (see attachment). My stick is right out of the box, so I don't have anything installed on it. I just want something that I can revert back to if needed.

Is there a way to do that?

You have to dump the ROM to do that. I have not seen that build date before of 11/13 so it would be good if we can get a ROm dump of that.

Bob/Forum,

I don't see any issues with this version, then again, I'm BRAND NEW at this. I'm anxious to start modifying this stick, but I want to have an "undo", just in case... If someone can tell me how to dump the ROM, I'd be more than happy to share it with the group.
