I got the OTA JI6 updated. Rooted then backed up my ROM via ROM Manager (Free version). I then tried out the Bionix 1.7 ROM. Now I restore the backed up ROM (using ROM Manager). The restore was OK but the phone hung at the Vibrant screen when rebooted. Any idea?
Thank you

so i installed obsidian v5 beta yesterday nd also did a nandroid back nd titanium backup but i have a question since i have 2.1 stock build of samsumg vibrant backed up can i do a revert back to that build cuz i think i heard some where that you cant revert back if you have 2.2 froyo??
If you restore your nandroid backup, you also have to flash an appropriate 2.1 kernel. Nandroid doesn't backup your kernel, so if you tried to restore your nandroid backup only, you'd have a soft-brick. So long as you also flash a 2.1 kernel, you should be fine.

ummm would you possibly know how to flash a 2.1 kernel?
^ I put it in the sticky on how to flash, and there is a link to the 2.1 kernel you need. Shortcut is in my signature.
thank youu
so
1. i do a nandroid restore
2. download pakages nd select the vibrant stock kernel
right
To all experienced Custom ROM installers,
I have a rooted vibrant, during the holidays I performed my first custom ROM flashing
During these days, I installed and re-installed a stock and custom ROMS a number of times. I think I got remmants of ROMS that I installed.
I want to go back to the stock android 2.1 JI6. I have a rom manager backup before I installed the custom rom
What is the procedure for a good wipe to ensure that the system is clean before I flash the stock t-mo vibrant 2.1 JI6 ROM ?
thanks
Reverting back to stock through Odin is more preferable. But if you're going to nand restore a stock 2.1 via clockwork, then you MUST flash a 2.1 kernel or any 2.1 custom rom that has the stock kernel. I'm not sure wether you flash the stock kernel beforehand or after the nand restore. But yeah, if you're currently on a 2.2 rom, revert that kernel to stock 2.1 before restoring the 2.1 stock nand or risk soft bricking your device!

thank you for the tip.
That is why when I restore my ROM manager backup (which was a 2.1 nackup) it froze and will ot boot. I will try restoring the 2.1 kernel first before restoring the backup
make sure the 2.2 rom you're using is compatible with a 2.1 kernel coz that will soft brick too
Hey guys, I made a backup with clockworkmod before I flashed Nero. Now I want to return to stock to try the official Froyo. I tried to restore my backup via Rom Manager, but after my phone booted the only thing on the screen is the status bar and "searching" and the date. The phone keeps refreshing once in a while but I can't do anything with my phone. I disabled voodoo before I flashed the backup. Is it supposed to take this long on the first boot? Any help would be appreciated.
When going from a 2.2 build back to a stock 2.1 build, you have to flash a 2.1 kernel at the same time. Your backup doesn't include the stock kernel.
You will have to use odin.

Hello there guys.
I've done a full backup with clockwork but if i try to restore it i get a error message about the boot image...i can't restore it. now i was able to restore system..data..and so on via advanced restore...i get no boot animation but the system is up an running. i can't get the wifi to work...what can i do now?
I used a clockwork 4.0.1.4 with root enabled..i flashed it whit Odin.
Thanks guys
forgot to mention I own a Galaxy S 2
Flash a clean stock rom as your backup is corrupt.

Same issue
I took a full backup with CWM (4.0.0.2) to test a Kitchen ROM. After getting it to work I wanted to switch back to my standard ROM (CF-Root KE7), but it failed with the boot image ("error flashing boot image").
If the backup was corrupt I would expect the MD5 to fail, but it didn't. Like the OP I was able to restore all the other items one by one, which now gives me a Frankenstein ROM: KE7 with the Kitchen-selected Kernel (Ninphetamine) and baseband (KH1).
I'll flash a new stock ROM with CF-Root again, but I am doubting CWM now.
At first I made a backup of the stock state of my gT-p7500 once I got root.
Lately I installed Overcome 2.3.1 and it brings the new CWM 5.5.0.4.
I am trying to restore the STOCK backup, it seems to pass the md5sum and all but when it gets to the restore of the system, data it does nothing.
Previous CWM version I had when I did the backup was 4.0.0.4 which is the one ROM Manager installs.
Any tips apreciated. Thank you.

Solution:
Through ROM Manager there is a new CWM version available v5.8.3.1 which seems to address this issue and now the restore is working.
