You need to install a custom recovery, which can back up your original ROM so you can restore it later. The Clockworkmod recovery is generally considered the best, there's a build of it with instructions for the ZTE Racer at MoDaCo.

  • @Lordareon You should find a page with instructions for the particular ROM. If it doesn't have instructions with it, I wouldn't use it unless you can get some from people who have already tried it. Often, though, you name it "update.zip", put it on the root of your SD card, and use Clockwork Recovery to flash it (it has a nice menu option).

  • Clockworkmod does not seem to work with Samsung devices out of the box. I know there is a way around it but this requires flashing a different kernel which defeats the intended purpose of making a backup before mocking around with the device. Any solution for Samsung devices?

  • @user4188 It works with the Galaxy S just fine, what device do you have? (Consider posting a separate question).
