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.
dhyanabad (thanks in nepali)
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
I was wondering, if im using the CM3.4 i can change to the stock 2.1 i have installed, and how do i do that?
So you have a backup of 2.1 on your phone for xRecovery, correct? If not, you'll have to use SEUS to reinstall 2.1 from scratch. Back up your CM ROM first though so you can go back to it later if you want.
If so, just backup your CM ROM with xRecovery, then just do the usual wipes before installing a ROM and then restore your 2.1 backup and you're back to 2.1 and you are able to switch back to the CM ROM if you want.
Am I able to nandroid restore from MIUI to something with voodoo and vice versa?
I believe you have to odin back to stock first.
the restores are done from CWM so i think yes?
nandroid doesnt back-up the kernel i dont think so you need to flash a kernel thats compatible with whatever rom you backed-up or i think it'll bootloop
using nandroid to go between different CM7/MIUI roms will work (for the most part, as CWM will actually backup the kernel for those). However, you can't use nandroid to go between CM7/MIUI and samsung roms.
I'm thinking of Odin back to a 2.2 ROM from Miui. But I can't remember if the CWR back-up of my Project V contains the Kernel as well? I'm wondering if I can just Odin back to stock. and run the back-up or if I need to Odin back to stock, and flash Proj V and start over with the individual tweaks I put in????
does not have kernel, but you should be able to odin back to stock, boot in CWR, flash a 2.2 kernel, and then restore your backup
Hi
I have ics and i am going to install gb kernel&rom
I will make back up in my recovery now .. When i install the new gb kernel & rom can i restore all thing or i need to flash my current ics kernel to restore my current system and all thing ?
To restore an ICS firmware, you only need a Recovery. You can restore the backup from Gingerbread, but then don't forget to flash ICS kernel, otherwise the phone won't boot properly
