Hey how can you backup the factory rom before rooting or flashing?
We can't yet, I've read that clock works is working on a recovery.

Its available around here somewhere so there's no need to be worried about backing up the stock 2.2. You just need to make sure you can use Odin if you want to go back to stock.

Hello guys.
What is the best way to wipe my phone, so its completely ready for new ROM?
Sorry if its alrdy out there. But hopefully you can help, im a bit new.
There area couple of things I would do and they are as follows
1. Do a backup of all your apps with Titanium or some other program like that
2. Do a full Nandroid back up of your current rom just incase you soft brick your phone.
3. Back up your EFS folder once that is gone its pretty hard to get it back. I have never had a problem but others have.
4. Make sure you wipe your cache/user data with CWM and also dalvik cache. This is to insure you dont have any issues with your old rom conflicting with the new one its sucks I have done this even if it says NO-WIPE rom.
5. Install your new rom whatever that may be

In addition to the steps, you can also format the system and emmc, If you want a clean slate. Just remember to place New ROM and nandroid backup on ext SD card before formatting
I was a bit hasty when flashing, and did not get a original rom backup(nandroid). Am I completely ****ed now? My current rom works just fine, just wondering if my next flash softbricks it. Could I back up my current rom and return to that?
Also, if I flash a original sammy rom from the original rom thread(the one I presume my phone came with), will I be able to update through the built in sammy function(Search for updates)?
Sorry for hijacking, but this thread seemed suitable rather than starting a new.
Cheers!

Sure, any backup of a working ROM is good. You can always pull an official firmware from Intratech's thread to flash back to stock if you need to in the future.

Maybe. I see a Norwegian flag in your profile. If you flash back to stock, it MAY work for you. Doesn't for me, but that's because I'm in the US, and no one officially carries this phone here.. so neither Kies nor OTA work for updates for me.

No, not suitable at all.
Hijacking bigtime and not using "search" either - good start, you'll not be popular if you carry on like this...
Since like me you're in Norway and can't sleep either I'll try to help - no links though, you gotta search:
If you're careful with flashing the softbrick chances are small. Yes, you can back up your current ROM.
No, you can't update via "search for updates" on the phone. It's an OTA feature that's never been implemented in Gingerbread - at least not here in Norge.
And you can't "presume" what your original firmware/ROM was - you either know it or you don't.
To be honest, you don't sound like you're ready for custom ROMs yet. I'd do a lot more reading here if I were you.
Lykke til.

Do you mean format /system? I'm thinking if you format /system, you'll have to re-flash the phone's firmware.

That does a full wipe, whilst keeping root.
If you change Roms, you will lose your root.
But when you install a custom kernel, most auto root anyway.
Finally words of advice, ALWAYS be sure what your doing if flashing anything!
Don't rush into Anything until YOU KNOW what your doing.
Not sure about something, ask. (dont guess or assume)

Hey guys so I used the return to bell stock method from the General Section of the forum after coming off the Paranoidandroid rom. I noticed that the calibration for the gyroscope does not let the ball move at all and to top it off the phone has difficulty in getting back into portrait mode. Does anyone have a solution for this? Maybe it was a bad flash or maybr some file is missing any help?

Did you restore any data to the device following the flash ?
And did you wipe the device prior to the restore of the rom ?
both of the above issues could/would have an effect on a clean restore to stock, especially when running an odin or kies restore, with old data still present on the device.
just a start point I guess.....g

Wipe data/Factory reset to get out of bootloop..
Nandroid does not backup modem or EFS .

Hi,
I rooted my S2 and got a backup of my Stock Rom. Then I installed Omega Rom. Now I want to go back to my stock Rom. Can I just go in CWM and restore back to my stock rom? Or do I need to unroot the phone and then restore? Or do I need to unroot after restore? Or is the phone automatically unrooted after restoring backup?

Of course you can restore it from CWM, that's what the backup is for.
You've made the backup with a rooted kernel, so it's obvious your phone will still be rooted after the restoring, with the kernel you had on that moment.

Yes, if you want to. There are enough guides here, just search on xda for them. They're not hard to find.
