Anyone having issues? I've been making and restoring backups for a long time and just within the last week I haven't been able to restore any backups I've made. Made new ones those don't work either. Any ideas?
It restores and boots then just curates randomly and everything starts force closing

No one with this issue since the update of rom manager??

I tried to restore, but it failed.. rebooted and I was still on stock JFD (I was going back to stock for writing the guide)... restoring my ROM didnt work so I had to redo.
Did you update rom manager too? I'm done flashing until I can restore backups this isn't good
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I do have the latest. Have not tried to restore since so, I am not certain what went wrong. I know I've had restores fail in the past too though. I just make sure I have all of my apps... getting a rom setup is not that bad for me.
I realize this could be an issue, but with odin and titanium, I'm not too worried.
Have you shot @koush or @ClockworkMod a message/tweet? He is pretty good about twitter.
No I don't have twitter and didn't want to create any issues that don't exist. I figured this was the best place to ask the question.

IIRC, Vibrant clockwork does not restore/backup kernels and only works on RFS. Maybe there is a ROM/Kernel mismatch?
Could you let me know what filesystem your /system currently is? ext4 or rfs?
^ well paint me a noob....
I knew the kernel, but did NOT realize a voodoo (ext4) recovery would not restore.
voodoo has /system as ext4 by default.
I'm not sure. I will need to release a new recovery I think.

While we are talking about it... why does Fix Permissions not work? Never knew th reasoning behind it. You can select, and immediately you are back at the CWR screen like nothing happened (and it doesn't).

Koush, thanks for responding...
Maybe that could be the issue, but I thought everyone was making backups while on ext4 / voodoo? I thought you could make a nandroid on either RFS or ext4. Would flashing a RFS kernel after disabling voodoo allow nandroid to restore?
So here's the two exact scenarios I've run into. I always make a backup from within ROM manager when flashing roms and keep a backup current every few days. Was on KB1 stock stock, no voodoo. Switched to KB5. Then trigger released the KB5 rebuild, so I flashed the KB5 ext4 kernel from Dr. Honk, made a backup of my KB5 stock rom set up, then flashed trigger. I ran into various small issues that I thought was my issue, but wasn't sure so I wanted to restore my KB5 to test it out to make sure it wasn't Trigger. It restored, then went into force closing and various vibrations, had to pull the battery, three button reboot into recovery and I was able to restore the trigger backup I had just made.
Couple days later wifi calling released for the biwinning rom. I went full back to stock kb5 wiped all data, but left the KB5+ext4 kernel on the phone. Made the backup, flashed biwinning and wifi calling didn't work, so I restored the backup of KB5 and again, same issue, unable to get a clean boot. I figured at that point it was just a bad backup so I deleted everything and started fresh. Right now I'm running bone stock KB5 RFS and it's actually working fine and plenty fast, but I'm concerned that I'm not able to make a nandroid backup at all.
***This was all done in "RED" recovery w/ the setup listed***
I recently flashed stock KB5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
Flashed Tigers Blood v3 ontop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=994694
I tried to restore a nandriod I had backed up of Bionix1.3.1 w/ Bullet 1.44Ghz:
Checking MD5 sum....
MD5 sum mismatch....
I then tried to restore a nandroid I had backed up of Trigger:
Checking MD5 sum....
Restoring system....
Restoring data...
Restoring datadata....
GOOD TO GO!
Nandroid did restore Trigger along with Tigers Blood v3 although I'm not sure if Trigger had that installed with it or if it was left from my initial setup listed up top.
Hope this helps!

My Vibrant is stuck in some kind of groundhog day-ish nightmare, where I get a lot of FC.
Long story short: I did a Clockworkmod backup of my system before installing a different mod. I decided to go back because of some minor issues, but after trying to restore the previous ROM, my Vibrant seems to be stuck in between roms. It retains elements from the old rom no matter what I try to do. I get cascading FCs, and Market is missing. When I try to use ADB to put the rooting update.zip onto the SD, it seems to go OK, but when I open up the SD through Files viewer on the phone the file is gone. I seems like I cannot write properly to the internal SD.
Now when I try to get back to a previous ROM backup (I've got to backups) the phone hangs at the Samsung Vibrant white text startup screen.
At this point I'm really only after getting rid of everything and starting anew, but it seems like I can't properly reset the SD card, and so I'm stuck with this FC nightmare.
Do you have any ideas I might try?
Try flashing the kernel to the version of your nandroid. I remember reading that nandroid does not backup tne kernel. I had this happen to me the first time I tried to go back from bionix rom. I did know about the kernel thing so I just stayed with a nonstock rom. Glad I did because I didnt get the ota update which soft bricked a friend of mine's vibrant.

You mean the version of the ROM backup? In that case I should use Odin to flash the kernel, then try to restore the backup?
Flash a rom with the kernel of the nandroid you created. If u can flash the rom u where trying maybe u can get your phone to mount and copy a rom with the kernel you need. Did u make a paid version of Titanium back-up? If u did i have been real happy with Bionix 1.8oc,kingklick. Looks like there is a 1.9 Bionix. Try it out his stuff is really good.

I really appreciate your advice.
Problem is, nothing gets written to the internal SD. System changes, but everything that is on the internal storage remains the same no matter how I try to delete it. After I flash a new ROM, the standard applications change (bloatware, Samsung specials etc), but the ones I had installed before like RomManager and MyBackup Pro are still there. I think this is what is causing the FCs.
I need to find a way to brutally and thoroughly wipe the internal storage completely.
Try using odin and flashing Eugenes froyo that does not brick. maybe that will help. Try a different usb port, computer or usb cable. If not post a new question about your internal sd.
Still not working. I found something interesting though - the timestamp for the folders
drwxrwxr-x system sdcard_rw 1969-12-31 19:00 sdcard
drwxr-xr-x root root 1969-12-31 19:00 sys
dr-xr-xr-x root root 1969-12-31 19:00 proc
This seems weird.
Any thoughts?
Looks like New years Eve 1969. Sorry man I wish I could be more help.
I think if you try 'Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick' and you still can't get back to stock you are screwed.
I'm curious why the restore of the previous ROM did not work the first time. What ROMs were you going/coming from? Did you stop the restore in the middle? I've found you have to be VERY patient with any sort of backup or restore. It can take a LONG time. I even make sure I have enough battery life before embarking on a restore.
your phone just needs some pr0n 69-style
I suggest you ODIN it to JI6 and try again with your ROM adventures.
Reflash the backup via Clockwork and make sure that you select wipe all data and cache. After re-boot go back to clockwork and use fix permissions.

Trying to reboot after the reflash of backup only leaves the phone hanging at Vibrant Samsung in white letters. It does play the little intro tune, oddly enough, but doesn't progress beyond that.
Thanks for all the help so far. Please, if you have any ideas, let me know.
What are the chances of having clockwork back up ext4 in the future so every time backups are needed to be made or restored, we don't have to disable Voodoo. If disabling voodoo didn't take 20 minutes and/or consistently work I wouldn't mind so much. I am no kind of developer, I am just wondering if this can be done and if somebody (aka. Koush) would want to do it.
Second the request or a workaround.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
For clockworkmod to work it needs to be integrated with a kernel that supports ext4 and mountpoints need to be fixed. I plan on taking a stab at it tonight, but from koush's previous responses I doubt it will ever be integrated into the "official" clockworkmod (available from RomManager, etc). If successful, I'll check with koush about distributing it.
Sweet and good luck!!

That would be awesome JT. I love Voodoo but I also love being able to flash new stuff daily that comes out and not being able to restore really puts a hurtin on that fun! thanks for lookin into it.
Would be great if Clockwork and Voodoo played nice together. Both are really necessities for a Galaxy S phone.
out of curiosity, does voodoo and clockwork play nicely on any of the galaxy s phones?

you can use them together, the specific issue is that the nandroid backups made using clockwork do not carry over the Ext4 file system that was put in place when you dumped the voodoo kernel on the phone....
so in a nutshell, when you have been running a voodoo kernel and then decide to revert by loading a clockwork backup, the Ext4 file system remains but the backup doesn't have that in it, so you get an instant conflict that basically semi-bricks the phone and takes a bunch of work to get it straightened out
they are talking about getting clockwork to recognize and retain Ext4 file system when making and restoring backups using clockwork
someone more knowledgeable can fill in the blanks i left from a technical aspect if they want, but i went through hell because of this so i have a basic understanding of why my phone did what it did after i did what i did....LOL
Er...
Nothing clockworkmod can backup and restore should affect Voodoo.
For the Fascinate, Nandroid does not back up:
1. The kernel (which is needed for voodoo)
2. The mbr (also needed for voodoo)
3. Data (because of voodoo)
So if you just want to restore your system, have at it, it should be a non issue.
I guess what Im saying is I wish it would back up data.

Im on my way to flash Axura 2.2.5.7 on my rooted vibrant . I titanium backed up all my system data and all apps using ‘back up all apps + system data’ feature of titanium. I, then, downloaded Rom Manager *free version… and flashed clockworkmod recovery…then rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid back.
I have now downloaded ODIN 3 v 1.70 on my computer.
I have been reading various guides (including vibrant wiki and bible) on how to root and flash roms.
Since I did ‘flash clockworkmod recovery’ yesterday..do I need to do it again?
Can any one direct me to a step by step process on flashing the Axura Rom.
I guess it’s the fear of the unknown while flashing for the very first time.
Thanks
EDIT: I have copied the titanium folder from internal memory to my pc just in case. I also would like to make a back up of rom manager (nandroid backup or whatever it is caleld) onto my computer... How do I do that? I wasn't ablt to locate the folder.

The only other thing you need to do, is put the Axura2257.zip (Or whatever it's name is) on the INTERNAL memory card & flash via clockwork Mod or Rom Manager
sorry..a noob here and it might be a stupid question: Can I also use ODIN to flash the rom? I feel I would be more comfortable working through ODIN.

Just make sure you have two files on your 16g internal memory - Update.zip and the Axura.zip(can be named anything other than Update.zip for obvious reasons) file.
Reboot the phone into recovery. If it's blue then hit reinstall packages until it turns green with more options. This may take two times so don't freak if it's still blue after the first, just do it again.
Once in the green recovery go to install file from SD and select the Axura.zip file. Agree to everything and let it run it's course. Once done hit reboot now and enjoy.
thanks guys. just flashed Axura 2.2.5.7 ROM without any hiccups for the first time
Now need to restore apps and settings
Now one more question: What is voodoo and what is the benefit of enabling it on Axura 2.2.5.7?

Woah.. Were you on Android 2.1? Don't restore settings if you were.
Voodoo just converts to EXT4 (Which is faster)

You can't to my knowlege... 2.1 & 2.2 are very different, and if you restore the settings & apps then there are going to be allot of problems.. I would just reflash it and manually setup the settings this time, and then backup everything up for the next ROM you choose..
that sucks. I have alot of apps (around 70/80). I had customized settings on them. Its sad not being able to restore those apps and their settings. I can do with system settings.
But overall thanks alot for a great phone experiences. its extremely snappy now and im loving my phone again hehe...
Two things from my experience.
1. You should be able to restore all your apps you backed up in Titanium Backup as it seems to be able to tell what apps won't work with Froyo. You'll see them with a line through them in Titanium. Just restore missing apps with data using the batch feature. Do not restore the one with + all system data.
Then go to Backup/Restore at the top and scroll down to green [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage and click that and restore it too (this is your text messages). You must restart your phone now for it all to take effect.
2. After you complete #1 - Hit up the market for Voodoo Toggle Reboot app (free). Once it's open you can Enable/Disable Voodoo with it. Click it if it's not green and then hit Reboot Now to activate it. You'll hear Linda talking to you while voodoo installs which may take a bit so don't worry.
Voodoo changes the file system to ext4 which is way faster and very stable. Your phone will fly with it.
You will have to setup new settings for everything else this time, but if you use Launcher Pro you'll be able to backup your desktop settings for next time. Once you get everything the way you like it, backup with Launcher Pro and then with Titanium Backup for next time.
Make sure you don't flash anything else through clockwork with voodoo active unless the Dev says it's ok to do so. An example would be when Axura 2.2.5.8 comes out it'll probably be ok to flash without messing with voodoo (crosses fingers).
Hello guys, first I will like to thank all of you for supporting the forum and for helping me a lot. I been trying by far do the list below and I cant get it to work correctly in more then 20 attempts and Im afraid I will totally brick my vibrant.
Done Procedures;
I have ROOTed the Phone
BackUp all my files using Titanium
Flashed ClockWorkMod with Rom Manager
Flashed with ROM Bionix V 1.3.1
Delete Cache and Dalvik...
Rebooted system
At that point everything is good but once I install a kernel I start having problems with the SD recognition by PC and Installing or un-installing apps to device
Any tips or step by step how should do to install Bionix 1.3.1 with kernel Tigers Blood with Voodoo sound and colors without a problem?
or maybe to install Axura with out been so lagging.
Any reason for not testing Trigger, with OverStock 2.2?
Try trigger, or a 2.2.1 port. Pne of those may work faster.

I will try this mate and report back. I just did an back up and now lets just see how this setup does it for me. All I want is a good theme ROM, fast and stable, Honestly I loved the Axura ROM but is to lagging for me for some reason.
Bionix is great but I have the same problem with all the roms I install. When the USB is not detected then is the apps cant be install or un-install.
Will try this one as I havent yet and besides it gives me more experience nothing to loose.

When i even try to restore my back up for apps from Titanium it wont let me since all the apps stay like computing. I think is something wrong with the apps system or something.
I havent flashed yet the kernel.
I will try to install the ROM again
Not to sound rude, but did you follow the instructions in the noob guide on the proper way to backup, flash and restore?
Perhaps you should just ODIN back to stock and start over if you have.
Let me know if I can help, try and be detailed in your posts though... that last one, I really have no clue what you were trying to say.
Odin root cwm flash...... I hope your only flashing one thing at a time... Not rom+kernel+theme+ boot animation or somthing wildly stupid

Ok, Im done, I have installed the ROM and let it sit for 10 mins at least then rebooted. What step should I do now to flash a kernel like Tiger blood or OverStock.
Or what will be the next step other then configuring the login for google?

you may want to stay stock trigger for awhile and test it out.
when ready, download overstock 2.2, move it to sdcard/, reboot to CWR, install from zip (like a rom), after you flash it, reboot.... you'll notice a new splash screen for overstock, all done.

Ok, I have seen enough of this. lol I so sad to see how easy this is but frustrated when I get problems like the one I still have. Everything was great until I started installing the apps from the Titanium back up i made. It did installed about 15 apps but after those been installed successfully it just got stocked loading and it wont install any more apps or even un-install. Cant even install apps from the market.
What is wrong with this thing, is very stressful try and try and get the same result on 4 different ROMS I have tested already. I really hate to ask for help as I like to read and try it for myself so I can about a new hobby.
But this one is biting my hand very hard. Can you please tell me ehat can I do in this case mate to trouble shoot this?
Thank you for your time friend
Something I have done a bit different is that I have put the files in separate folders for more organize.
Like for sample; at sd_root/ I have a folder name Download which it have sub-folders that look like this tree below
Download
//
-Kernels/
-Metamorhp Mods/
-Misc Mods/Apps
-Modems
-Mods
-Roms
-Themes
Do you think that will be a problem by not having the Files at the root location at SD?
When you are restoring your titanium back ups, are you only restoring apps? I mean, are you restoring system data too? You don't want to restore system data, and only restore apps. Sometimes restoring system data from previous roms can cause problems.
If this still doesn't help, you might just want to redownload all your apps, and then make a backup. Sounds like your issue is linked to titanium back up.

If it doenst help I will continue your suggestion to install the apps one by one NOT from the Titanium as it was back up from a different ROM.
thanks i will let know how it goes.
stay away from restoring system data when flashing roms. Just the apps with the app data. Hope this helps man. If not, let's go over the entire order of what you are doing and we will figure out what is going on.

Ok here goes to nothing. I have dont everything correctly like the Guide's stating and everything works great at first but them it just stop working the whole file system apparently. Is just works great and after few app installs it just fail. When I go to check the files from the File management it just say Computing instead of loading and give the file size info ect....
What can it be I dont have a clue as I have search the whole forum and I dont see this problem posted by any other. Its just wont install, un-install or even cant stop any app from working.
What else can i do?
When backing up with Titanium, its okay to back up user apps and their data. As far as system data, Titanium has it sorted by what is and isn't safe to restore. Green entries are all good, don't back up any entries with red text.
This is how I've been backing up stuff since before 2.2 dropped, and I've never run into any strange issues.
Just a shot in the dark, but it might be a bad sd card, or just needing a format. Try backing up all your sd files on your computer, and format your sd card and see if that helps. I had some funky stuff going on with my phone, and it went away after I did that.
Hi Folks,
as you can probably see this is my first post to XDA. please be kind.
I have used CM7 on both the LG g2x and Samsung Tmobile Vibrant. (T959)
I got a little tripped up trying to go back from CM7 to stock nandroid backup on my Vibrant. I failed to understand the differences in the filesystem layout.
After much jiggering and finagling I did get it back to stock... But you can understand that I don't want to repeat that...
I'm thinking of installing the latest Zendroid. I already am running 2.2 UVKB5 with root. CWM. Cmenard overstock kernel and Voodoo sound.
I make regular backups both with Titanium and CWM....
If I install the latest Zendroid, will I be able to go back to my previous backups?
As far as I understand Zendroid is just a streamlined build of the Samsung OS.
I could upgrade to Zendroid and fallback
Also does the dock audio functionality work with zendroid ? Not a dealbreaker just a question.

nandroid does not back up your kernel. So if you are going to gingerbread then you cannot restore a nandroid backup of froyo without flashing a froyo kernel first, and even then i'm not 100% sure it would work
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Nope. Zendroid is I *believe* Froyo kernel.
The problem I had trying to restore from CM down to original OS might have been both a kernel issue and a FS issue. I *think* the problem had to do with the different partition table and PIT used by CM7 vs OG Samsung.
Anyhow. I'm a very literal person so I just want to know what I am looking at
before I do a wipe and a whole new install. I don't want to have to go thru the
whole ODIN process if I want to backout.

I would stay away from CWM (nandroid) backups. When you restore those, you are essentially overwriting the entire system and data partitions on the phone, and basically overwriting the entire rom with whats contained in your backup.
Titanium backups of applications are safe to restore, as well as a few system apps (contacts, dictionary, calendar, bookmarks, and Wifi access points are all I restore from the system apps in Titanium), but mostly with titanium you want to stay away from restoring the red and green colored apps. White are fine though and won't cause any issues.
Basically, if you flash ZenDroid, then do a CWM restore, you will lose all of the streamlining and tweaks that are in my build, and you will really be running stock again.
And yes, ZD is a Froyo (KB5) based rom, and a Froyo based kernel.
Dock audio, should work, but I don't have a dock to test it with. I didn't take anything out of the build that effects it TMK, so it should work.
EDIT - and while you will not have to Odin to go from ZD to a different rom, being good friends with Odin and flashing stock firmware from time to time is always high on my list of recommendations, jsut to alleviate any ghosts of roms past.
Thanks !
That's what I wanted to know.
I just didn't want to deal with any of the CM7 issues when trying to restore.
I do realize that if I install zendroid then restore I go back to my pre zendroid state. I am just making sure that I can roll back to normal if I have issues.
Stock touchwiz is a bit bloated but the basics work good and I get decent battery life. CM7 was pretty heavy on battery life.
I had to use CM7 on the LG G2x because LG couldn't be bothered to produce production ready software before they released the thing.
The Samsung software does have some bloat but runs OK.
thanks br!ck'd for making this build. I will let you know how it's rocking once I install and test.
