So I was running Nero v.1 and decided to try out Nero v.3
I made a nandroid backup before flashing nero 3. After flashing, I decided to restore my backup.
After restoring though, my phone would frequently freeze at the lock screen or during an app and I would have to pull the battery to reset.
I checked out recovery mode and it seems the clockwork recovery had "voodoo" options, which I did not have before. Is there something about voodoo that's causing my phone to freeze/lock up? Man I really hope I can reverse the damage.
Nandroid restore doesn't restore kernels (voodoo) so your voodoo carried on to your restore. Undo any lag fix you have, reboot and see if things boot properly, then reflash a new ROM and start from scratch. Or you could Odin to stock, but I try to avoid that.

ugh I don't have access to ODIN since I'm using a family macbook right now, so my nandroid backup was basically pointless then? :\
I have disabled voodoo lagfix and /system lagfix, however my phone is still freezing!
are both of these supposed to be disabled before I do a nandroid backup/restore?

I just flashed Fusion 1.1 with Jac kernel.
I enabled ext2 lagfix, everything is working great.
Questions about backing this up or restoring.
1. Would i be able to do a nandroid backup while i have this ext2 lagfix enabled?
2. If i wanted to go back to a stock nandroid, i assume i would flash stock kernel and then flash the backup, but what happens to the ext2 lagfix?
3. If i wanted to flash a new bionix rom will I have to do anything special about the ext2 lagfix before flashing?
Just things running around in my head, i'm usually very careful and don't feel like using ODIN ever
Thanks for your time

1. Yes
2. You dont need to flash stock kernel/im PRETTY SURE lagfix will be gone unless it was flashed before creating that particular Nandroid backup...however, even if im wrong, nothing bad will happen to your phone, youll just still be running JAC and youd have to independently flash stock kernel
3. No
disclaimer - all of these answers are assuming you are running regular JAC, as opposed to JAC with Voodoo (not trying to insult you but i just have to make sure, you never know)
Great, thanks. Yup runing jac without voodoo

So I flashed onyx r4 before they pulled it. Overall, I like fusion 1.2 more and I'm about to restore it.
I plan on flashing fusion to get the kernel, but do I have to boot up before I restore using nandroid? Or can I flash fusion, and while still in cwm restore my backup?
I checked a bunch of threads, but haven't seen that clarified one way or the other, so I'm sorry if I simply missed it.

I'd boot once just to be safe--it's not like anything bad can happen. Well, the phone can explode but only 10% of the time.
Just want to know who is using what lagfix option in eugenes new A13/A14 kernel/recovery. And hows it running. thanx

I'm using the no rfs JFS Advanced lagfix on A14
it runs amazing
I had some issues with that same lag fix on A12 (it wiped my internal sd and killed my market lol) but no issues at all on this new kernel, also no hang ups on the boot screen anymore.

x2. Also, after changing my settings to -50 -50 -50 -100 -100 -100 on boot and rebooting the phone [I'm running MacNut 12, by the way], SetCPU to 200-800MHz things have been smoother than ever.
I was about to use no rfs advanced and rebooted and then I was at the screen where it said continue back up and restore so I went back to recovery and disabled it because I was confused. When I'm at that screen what do I do.

you should just have to set your lagfix whichever one you want.
then back all the way out and choose reboot device on the main menu.
when it reboots it will ask you if you want to use back up and restore and a few other options, the first one (back up and restore) should be the best.
all its doing is attempting to back up your files while it reformats the memory, then it will try to restore everything once the lagfix is complete.

Alright thanks man, when flashing other roms do i have to disable the lagfix?
hey mates !!
right umm.. yday i flashed this mod i donno which thread i had picked it up, it was to give wake option to vol down button , ( may be from TSM parts or ed05 posts )
i didnt notice anything at first ( as i was busy at work ) but after like 5 hours i saw that off and on the power wake was actually taking screen shots and also the soft keys started to flash erratically on a number of occasions whenever i was making a call.
TBH i was seeing this behavior from past 3 days as i was trying out eh09, geewiz ed05 and some nandroid backups that i had made in last few weeks , but it kind of got aggravated after the vol wake option mod.
yday night my phone was constantly searching for SVC whereas wife's phone on the same network was doing fine.
Now i have flashed Ed05 stock but i still feel that the issues might come again is there a way to format the file system and kernel changes and stuff.
regards
I've had a lot of the same issues. A data wipe and odin restore seem to help, but I still have some of the same problems. It might just be glitchy phones. Our luck of the draw.
Did both of you restore nandroids?
even if they're recent, I would try backing up your contacts, backup user apps only in TiBu, wipe and re-flash, then reinstall apps only in TiBu...not data, restore contacts, and then go and flash your mod and give it a few days. Of course i'm not positive this will work but I could swear I read on here where some folks had issues even with nandroid restores.

X2 agreed!!!
I did not do a nandroid restore, but I'm going to try to do a data wipe using the feature in the menu on the phone rather than on CWR, then re-flash and restore apps only with titanium.
Will attempting to restore my text messages lead to problems? I'll leave that step out this time as well. I love the phone on PWGB with the new voodoo kernel and will not be upgrading until this area gets 4G, which is going to be a while.
I've. Found that trying to do any type of restore, either nandriod or TB will always leave open the possibility for issues. The only reliable way for me has been to re-install apps after a new ROM flash or Odin.

I use app list backup, that way I'm not really restoring anything but it a very fast way to reinstall fresh from the market.

Decided I better ask for help before digging a deeper hole...
I had rooted my Vibrant around September 2010 and tried some ROM at the time, don't remember which one. I didn't keep it for very long...I accepted one or two stock OTA updates thereafter, ending up with 2.1-update1/KA6.
Fast forward to yesterday, when I decided to try to go to Gingerbread so as to be able to install an app I wanted. I chose CM7.2. I presumed I wasn't rooted anymore after the OTA's, so used CWM to run the update.zip that I still had on the SD card from 2010. I did a Titanium backup. I started following the abbreviated directions, then went to the full directions here:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Vibrant:_Full_Update_Guide
So I actually made two nandroid backups as a result of switching between the two sets of directions and getting distracted after I made the first one.
All went well, except after CM7.2 was booted and everything restored from Titanium, I had the following issues:
1. Messaging was broken
2. Most contacts were missing
3. GPS wouldn't lock
I poked around for fixes and tried some, but it was not looking promising. I decided I didn't really need that new app after all, and today tried to revert to stock. I supposed it would be a simple matter of a nandroid restore followed by a Titanium restore. Unfortunately the nandroid restore failed.
Research revealed this is a known issue with "different hboots".
I then compounded the issue by accidentally pressing the power button while in Recovery. The phone rebooted but stuck on the "Vibrant" splash screen, because of the corrupted restore attempt. No amount of 3-button resets got me back to Recovery. The phone is now connected to my laptop in Download mode.
I think what I now need to do is odin, per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13132341#post13132341
I will then be able to do a nandroid restore and Titanium restore and be back where I started? Any additional hints, warnings, etc?
Thanks in advance.
Be careful about what you backup with Titanium on stock and then restore on CM. Did you backup your Messaging app or any system data? If you restored system apps or data from a TI backup onto CM from stock, that could cause issues.
And about the contacts, where did you store them before? On Google, SIM, or in memory?
I may have clicked, in Titanium, "restore app and data" rather than just "data" for the messaging app. Thinking that may have been the case, I thought that reinstalling the ROM or Google apps zip files might fix it. It didn't. (this was before I soft-bricked)
Since I needed a working phone this afternoon, I went ahead and did the Odin thing. That went well. I am back to JFD and my contacts are back.
If I do a nandroid restore now, followed by a Titanium restore, it should get me back to where I was before starting the move to CM7.2, right? Except I would still have a JFD radio? (because nandroid does not touch that, as I recall)
In that case, finding a KA6 to install with odin would be best? And would there be any point to the nandroid restore if I did that?
GPS took a very long time to lock after going back to JFD, too. I think perhaps I need to try the antenna fix.
Maybe I will give CM7.2 another go...

If you do a nandroid restore you don't need to do a TI restore as nandroid will restore all your apps and data. (Even down to which wallpaper you're using and Wifi networks)
If the KA6 modem works best for you then go for it.

You don't need to be rooted, you just need a way to install. For example when you install from stock, you don't need to root it, only flash the custom kernel that has CWM, and then flash, since root is a state of the ROM.

Huh. Always thought you needed root to flash CWM.

Well, in our case we can use download mode + heimdall to flash a kernel that has the CWM recovery included.
