Here's what I did. I Flashed Axura 2.0.5 and i tried to use titanium backup. But the thing is that i backed it up before flashing but when i finished flashing. it didn't restore anything. So I was mad. I also made a nandroid backup before flashing too. so I decided to go into CWR and do a restore. Now my phone hangs at the logo screen. How do i fix this?

Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
odin with what?
A computer and the files you can find on this forum odin back to stock then try flashing again

I have the JI6 tar.
You need the pit file as well

When I have had trouble with a custom ROM, or changing file format, I usually odined back to 2.1 JDF with JAC's odin file and start again with a clean stock base. Doing this is kind of a PITA, having to root again and flash CWR before I could flash a custom rom.
Is there any benefit of using odin to revert to JDF anymore or can I get the same results if I use CWR to flash a rooted, de-odexed, stock 2.2 rom IE re-setting the phone and getting a clean "stock" base from which to flash a custom rom?

Not sure if you've done this, but when you've first flashed CWR did you do a back up? From what I understand, with that back up you can just flash back to how your phone was prior to flashing the custom rom. I've never tried it though, I've always odin back to stock just in case.
Yea I normally make a nadroid backup via CWR and Ti backup of apps, then copy the SD card to my desktop. A nadroid backup will not re-flash the modem or kernel. The only way to do this was odin but now CWR can. This is part of my reason for asking the question in the OP. If CWR can flash rom, kernel and modem, is there any benefit to using ODIN to get back to a clean stock rom?
Flashing back to stock is always the cleanest way to go. You do not risk
"ghost" remnants from old flashings. Nice clean slate... is always the best way to go. Reverting back to stock from CWR backup I have not do that it would defeat the purpose of wiping old data from the firmware. So, I always do a reflash back to stock when putting Real new software. I do not if I am just upgrading from older version of custom rom xx to a newer version.
Oka1,
thanks. Do you use JAC's JFD, link, or is there a mildly tweaked Odin file that will give a rooted stock?

If you go to the vibrant directory bible there are stock rims that have been rooted.

Thanks. Although the bible has CWR rooted roms, I do not see any that are ODIN. Which was sort of the reason for this thread, CWR vs ODIN to get a clean, ghost free, platform to flash a custom rom.
I have several CWM backups of Froyo on the internal SD card and odin back to JFD. I test something and done with it. Now, I want to restore back previous froyo backup. I then boot to recovery and reinstall update.zip then restore last CWM backup. It finished without a problem but kept looping at recovery screen. It wouldn't boot up to the restored backup Froyo. What did I do wrong?
You were using cm7/miui before restoring to froyo? you have to odin to stock before doing that.
Agreed! You can try to disable voodoo which will revert your system back to rfs and try to restore nandroid, but the safest and surefire way would be to ODIN right from the get. Good luck!
**EDIT**
I believe if you always backup your nandroids to PC you should be able to ODIN and restore any nandroid you have stored on your PC at your will.
There is so much wrong info in these two posts that it's ridiculous.
Read the damn question in the OP.
Back on topic:
You were restoring a nandroid backup of a Froyo ROM with the eclair kernel (from ODINing to JFD). Nandroid backups do not restore kernel or modems so you need to first flash a Froyo kernel and modem before restoring a Froyo nandroid backup.
For the modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774
For the kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
I'd get the ODIN flashable versions from each thread. (You'll probably want KB1 modem or whichever works best for you) and the KB1+Voodoo kernel from the second thread.
Make sure you get the *.tar files for ODIN compatibility.
also back up with tittanium backup

that can be flashed through odin which automatically installs cwm in the process?
lol too lazy to install cwm? or what is your purpose
re-partition went wrong, odin'd to stock but it is stuck on a blanck screen after the SGS logo, i'm pretty sure the flashing isnt being done correctly because of the re-partion that was messed up, so i'm trying to fix that by flashing cwm and trying to run it.
redownload the tar aand pit files, might have been a bad downloadcqnd try again
I was flashing cwm recovery thru odin and my phone got stuck on boot screen. Now I CAN'T get into recovery, but I CAN get into odin mode. But when I try to flash a rom in odin, it fails and says, "Complete(Write) operation failed." Does anyone have an idea how to get my GS2 working?

I was trying to flash:

thru odin

or
Via Odin and download mode flash a stock rom is all i can suggest .
jje
ya I'm screwed
try choosing a different file. question though, do you have a nandroid back up?
I did this on my SGS.
I removed the battery, put it back after a while and then I could access download mode. Flashed a stock ROM via Odin and it went fine.
Good luck!
I tried flashing a few different files thru odin. It's kinda weird, if I flash a kernel, it will work and go green and pass. But any rom I try will go red and fail and give that error.
I did have nandroid backup from a long time ago. But there is no way I can get to that cuz I cant boot into recovery.
Thank god!! Thanks for your help folks!! Got it working with another usb cable!!! That was scary
Well done! And welcome to the "flash-a-cwm-mod-in-Odin-club"...

I'm currently on pacman ROM v22. and i want to go back to stock jelly bean. I do have a nandroid backup but when I try to restore it fails. I guess its because of the latest cwm I.e. v 6.0.4. right? how should I restore the backup now? please help.. I'd be thankful
(galaxy s2 at&t sgh i777)
If you know what version of recovery you used to make the backup, install the kernel with that version of recovery. If the kernel does not match your current operating system, the phone will not boot into the system, but it should boot into recovery and allow you to restore the backup.
Or you could just flash the I777UCMD8 stock firmware with Odin, which you can download from the Download Repository.
as far as I remember I used v6.0 of cwm with the stock kernel.. yeah I was using stock kernel when I had v 6.0 of recovery.. should I downgrade to v6.0 cwm and try?
so I downgraded cwm to 6.0.1.0.. I guess that's the version I was using when I made backup.. tried to restore.. error: MD 5 mismatch
what does it mean?
new problem occurred.. :/
I downgraded recovery to 6.0.1.0 now I can't update it back to 6.0.4.5.. rebooted system.. and booted it back to recovery now that when I try to upgrade cwm I get error: couldnt mount SD card.. and when I checked my kernel has been replaced with cynogenmod #1 from aj kernel.. how should I get back the cwm 6.0.4.5 (I have .zip file is SD card but it won't mount in cwm) please help!
***ignore this I got it back working***
just tell me how can I restore the backup of my stock jelly bean
You can defeat the md5 check if you are absolutely certain that the nandroid backup is not corrupted. Sometimes just changing the file name of a nandroid backup will mess up the md5 sum, but the file is still good. But if you try to install a corrupt nandroid file by defeating the md5 check, you can do serious harm to the phone.
In this case I would not recommend even going there. It's no problem to flash the stock firmware using Odin. Yes, you will need to perform a wipe data/factory reset first, and yes you will lose your apps and personal settings, but there are backup programs for that. I would recommend this route.

okay but I didn't make any changes on the nandroid backup..
i have a question.. i'm using unlocked at&t here in india.. will upgrading firmware from odin lock my phone again?
and thanks for your help
There's also the option of using titanium backup restore the apps and settings of your nandroid backup.
settings > extract from nandroid backup > [select backup] > choose which apps/data that you want to restore.

well that's cool cryil.. but unfortunately I have no app & data backed up in my nandroid backup.. its just the stock ROM and settings.. while I was flashing the latest cwm I by mistake deleted my phone data.. so there is nothing just the stock ROM..
I just want to restore my nandroid backup to return to stock ROM.. I am away from PC for sometime so flashing with Odin is not possible at the moment.. I don't know what to do now..
(please also see the other thread by me)
thanks
is there any way to flash stock firmware through cwm.. I have cwm manager and it has a feature which says *flash the stock firmware* but I don't know how to use it... I don't care if I lose root access and cwm..

I'm not sure about that one.
But, you can still boot into your custom rooted firmware? If so, you can use Mobile Odin Pro or Mobile Odin Lite to flash the stock firmware from the phone.
yeah mobile Odin I have heard about it.. how to flash firmware with mobile Odin? we have to extract the .zip right? can you please tell me step wise procedure?
thanks once again
5 bucks says he's using Rom Manager app. Because clearly that'd be causing him issues.
yeah phalanx you're absolutely right. I flashed cwm recovery from ROM manager.. I didn't read stickies.. so I was not aware about the ROM manager causing problem thing.. anyways I got v6.0.1.0 of cwm after flashing from ROM manager.. I reeboted phone successfully.. checked kernel.. it was still the stock kernel.. If I'm not wrong flashing cwm replaces the kernel? anyways.. then I booted to recovery.. made nandroid backup.. upgraded cwm to 6.0.4.5.. flashed pacman ROM successfully.. and now that when I want to restore the nandroid backup it gives MD 5 mismatch error.. any suggestions ?

You can not install a .zip package with Mobile Odin. You can install the stock I777UCMD8 4.1.2 ICS firmware with Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin recognizes .tar and .tar.md5 files. The stock distribution, which you can download from the Download Repository, (see link in my signature) is a .tar.md5 file. Mobile Odin requires root access, so the following assumes you have a rooted firmware on the phone that will fully boot into the system.
Download Mobile Odin from this thread. Download the flash kernel from post #10 of the same thread. Install both apk's on your phone.
Download the UCMD8 .tar.md5 to the root of the internal sd card. I hope you have access to wifi because that is a pretty large file. Boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. Boot back into the system. Mobile Odin will now recognize the .tar.md5 file so that you can flash it. Once you flash it, you will have lost root, and will have fully stock firmware and kernel.
wowie thanks for your help bro! downloading the .tar.md5 .. last question by my side.. I didn't use mobile Odin ever before.. so I dont understand what's that thing? I mean as I have .tar.md5 file I will then just have to click on flash firmware?? or there is something I am missing?

Once you have both the main application and the flash kernel installed on your phone, open Mobile Odin, scroll down and touch Open file..., select internal sdcard, and then select the .tar.md5. You should be able to figure out the rest from there.
I successfully flashed i777UCMD8 from mobile odin and didnt even lose root.. thanks creepyncrawly!
I'm having problem connecting mouse from otg.. when I try to connect my phone turns off and takes so much time to start..?? also i am having problem connecting hdmi through mhl.. keeps on connecting and disconnecting..??

I do not have any direct experience with either of these issues. Maybe someone else will be able to answer.
some other guy told me to try flashing any other kernel? can I use any custom kernel with stock jelly bean? which one?
