What's Rom/Firmware and How to Backup Android Rom/Firmware

To operate computers, it needs some required system software called Operating System. In short form it is known as OS. For desktop, Laptop & server operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. So it's the same as phone and tablet. Most important examples about the operating system are Android, Apple iOS, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry OS, HP/Palm Web OS etc.

Operating System also needs to make functional all new electronics products like Digital Televisions, Microwave ovens. Load the OS (Operating System) and run it in its specific way of steps with defined manner and that known us as ROM.

Part 1. What is Android ROM?

Technically, the ROM is stand for Read Only Memory. It indicates the internal memory or storage of a device that reserves the operating system instruction. During a simple operation, it never needs any modifications. That's because all instructions are stored in the Read Only Memory file.

It is non-rewritable function on CD or DVD that nobody can change it. If they changed, then the device behaves like malfunction.

It contrasts with Hard disk drives, solid state drives and regular state drives or regular flash storage devices that have access to the storage area gain the operating system files through personal computers which allow full read/write.

Part 2. What is Android Firmware?

The ROM (Read Only Memory) operating system that we discussed is also known as Firmware. Through the device, they have access to the users without any type of modification and they stay firm. Thus, it is known as Firmware.

* It's possible to modify the firmware, but it is not under the easy usage.
* Some devices use as storage set as read only through software protection and some devices used specialized hardware.
* Read only through the software protection can remove or overwrite without any help of specialized hardware.
* It is done by only using the software written for the purpose and often it needs no connection to a computer.

So, Operating System and firmware both are the same thing and these can use any of them to such devices.
