no. you would need to ODIN back to a stock build with a full firmware, pit file, and repartition selected to get off CM7
also, there is already a CM7 Q&A just two or three posts below that you should ask in from now on.

Ok I was currently running bionix fusion 1.1. The stock kernel version. I did not have any lag fixes enabled either. I tried nandroiding back to stock and all it's doing is getting stuck on the vibrant screen. What am I doing wrong here?
had the same problem, but flashing through odin works for me.
Same here with Fusion 1.0 stock kernel. Had to Odin back to stock ji6 and then nandroid.
so you odin the stock rom, odin the JI6 update, root, then nandroid?

yah i think that's the safest way. by the way, why do you want to come back to JI6?
Same for me, i.e., nandroided from Fusion 1.1 then stuck on Vibrant screen . I had made the nandroid backup just before burning Fusion. Had to odin to JFD, then odin to JI6, then restore my titanium backups. Back to a JI6 version of normal now, whew

to the link that you post, i think that's not the case for me cause i'm sure i used the stock kernel
This is my first time flashing a new ROM. I decided to go with the stock Froyo ROM. And that went pretty smoothly.
I did the Titantium Backup to restore some of the apps I wanted back. However some settings didn't seem to come over, even though I selected to backup app and system settings. Examples included my phone contacts and my WinAmp playlists (songs are still there).
Anyway, that isn't so much the reason for this topic though. I did a Nandroid backup before and decided to do a restore of that backup. I initiated it from the Rom Manager and got into the Clockwork Recovery and saw it restoring. All appeared fine.
But when the phone rebooted, it is now stuck at the "Vibrant" screen. Has been stuck there for 15-20 minutes now.
I've been looking around. Is the problem because I went from 2.2 back to a 2.1 backup?
Hahaha I had that problem a few days ago, just flash back to stock with odin. Best to try a different rom....

Starting to think the phone might be bricked. Can't get into recovery mode or download mode. Always immediately comes back to the Vibrant screen. Pulled the battery. Didn't help.
Did you try holding down the volume buttons while putting the battery back in? Had a bit of a brick yesterday and that put it straight into download mode without even showing the vibrant logo.

You were trying to load a 2.1 nandroid restore onto a 2.2 kernal. Nandroid does not restore the kernal so you would have to install one separate from the nandoid if you want to try it again.
in order to restore your nandroid backup you would have to first flash a 2.1 ROM, preferably the one you are restoring from, whenever I am changing versions, 2.2 to 2.1, I always Odin back to JFD and build up from there.
Kernel flashing questions
I have flashed numerous roms but have never flashed just the kernel. Do you flash it just like you would any zip file? Can I use CWM to flash using the flash rom from sd card method? If I decide to not use the kernel I just flashed can I just flash the rom over it(assuming it has its own kernel)? Sorry for all of the questions I have researched it and still do not have a clear enough understanding to try to flash a kernel at this point in time. Any and all help is absolutely appreciated.

Thanks button right next to the quote >.<
I'm used to the quote being on the left.
Anyway, you can flash just the kernel. Check the Development section. There are some out there (Eugene has a bunch as do others). Depending on how they packaged the kernel, you would either flash with CWM or through Odin. The different ROMs typically come with the kernel, so you could just flash a 2.1 ROM and then nandroid back to what you had, or flash just the kernel, then nandroid.
Just updated flashed my phone to Axura 2.3.1.2 and for some odd reason the boot animation keeps rebooting. I've disabled voodoo lag fix and I am still experiencing the same problem. :-?
Previous rom was axura 2.2.1 froyo rom for eclair

Which rom specifically?
Also you shouldnt have to disable voodoo if you are coming from another voodoo rom.
have you tried reflashing the rom?
I got the same prob. Try to get back to stock T959UVJFD using odin and reflash.
Axura is nice but it shows many compatible troubles when trying with different kernels/mod.
I tried reflashing several times but no luck so far. And the previous rom I was using was the froyo rom for eclair the download zip file name is AXURA22VE...I'm thinkin I should probably have ODIN to stock Eclair, then update my phone to stock froyo before flashing this rom.
dont bother with stock froyo just odin to jfd then root install cwm and flash the rom
going to stock froyo includes the updated 3e recovery which can be circumvented but requires extra work on your part.
Thx shreddintyres :-D
You know I forgot to state this earlier but I can get to recovery mode (cwm v2.5.1.3 red lettering not green) should I just do a backup and restore from there?!?! I am not sure if the axura 2.3.1.2 file I have is corrupt or is it something I am doing wrong on my end when flashing the rom?

Sounds like a bad download to me. I would redownload it. I flash in the red cwm all the time.

same here
@op when did you download axura 2312? the D4A server went down a couple days ago and we are trying to restore all the files on the new site.
Redownloading 2312 will be not be possible at this point in time, i have posted a download for 2310 in the Axura development thread until the site is fully functional again. there isnt a very large difference between 2310 and 2312.
if you are still able to add files to your phone i would try to flash from CWM first otherwise if you cant jfd will be your only choice.
Hope this Helps
Thx guys I'm in the process of recovering from cwm now, tbh I haven't used ODIN before so before I try it hopefully my nandroid backup will restore everything. I downloaded the 2.3.1.2 rom I believe the day it came out.
the downloads on the d4a webiste are back up for the vibrant rom
http://devsforandroid.com/index.php?topic=23.0
Sweet I just finished dl'ing 2.3.1.3 hopefully it all works out. BTW I was able to easily restore my backup...flashin new rom now will update soon.
thanx men that really helps
All is well :-D I guess the old file I had was corrupted bc I flashed this rom w/ no problems at all...Thx
I am trying to restore to one of the nandroid back ups that I did before. I face with the following messages on recovery:
Checking md5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image!
What is my problem?
Thanks in advance

Bingo. You can't restore a 2.2.1 backup while on 2.3. You're gonna have to Odin then flash that rom as per first time Im afraid.

Good catch! I didn't know that. I just Odin'ed, can I restore after Odin?
Whenever you leave cm7, you need to odin to jfd.
I have a guide, if needed.

Not sure, But I guess not since you either odined to 2.2 or 2.1 while Heathen's rom is 2.2.1 so try flashing it again then restore if you've THAT much data you don't want to lose and haven't backed up in any other way.

Am trying to restore now. The reason I went back is because I noticed Ti backup this time didn't bring my SMS stuff to CM7. So now I want to install SMS back up and then back them up then go back to CM7... oh boy long way...frustrating
I was trying out CM7 nightlies but the bugs were overwhelming, and when I tried to restore my previous ROM through Clockworkmod it couldn't find the boot image. I rebooted and have been stuck on the Vibrant/Samsung startup screen ever since. Can anyone help?
Ur just gonna have to pull the battery and odin back to stock. Then root and flash cm 7 but dont forget to wipe

I agree. What was the ROM you tried to restore? was it a 2.3 gingerbread ROM as well as CM7? or was it a 2.2 ROM that you tried to restore while still running 2.3 CM7?

CM uses a different file system from other ROMs (MTD/yaffs2) which means your old ROM's kernel won' t be able to read the file systems on the phone. You need to Odin back to stock with a re-partition, re-root, re-install clockwork and re-flash.
There a sticky on how to use Odin, and how to get into download mode here:

no harm no foul!
as soon as i saw the word 'kernel' here i knew what i'd done. i did try restoring back to gingerclone 2.2 while still running cm7. wah wah. but no harm, it was my girlfriend's phone and she's already back from tmo with a brand new galaxy s 4g. thanks for the replies fellas
