I have a few questions. First off, I have an unlocked bootloader, I flashed the boot, system, and webtop img files. I have also flashed a few updates to that. However, I would like to try navalynt's mod.
Can I fully backup through CWM, wipe all, and flash the navalynts? And if it fails could I restore the backup like I used to on my N1 or are we not that far yet?
Any help and insight would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

nobody? at all?
With an unlocked bootloader and latest CWM it shouldnt be an issue to restore the backup.

hey guys, sorry but im a noob at this. i have a lg p500 with android 2.2 . i followed the instructions to root my phone and install a custom recovery. both worked. i also backed up my phone and performed a data/cache wipe on the phone from the recovery console. i was able to flash the cm7 into the phone. however, upon reboot, the phone kept getting stuck at a bootloop with the android 2.2 splash screen. AFAIK CM7 has its own boot screen. ive tried it twice with 2 different beta versions. any suggestions?
THANKS PPL!
Format system, for this flash the zip file from the first post. You will find "if you get bootloop".

Here's the link to the .zip that you can flash to fix this: system flash fix
When?
Thanks for the quick reply!
i do have a few more questions. when do i flash the format image on my phone? do i do it after creating a nandroid backup or do it do it after installing the custom ROM. and if i do install it, and if something goes wrong, will i be able to restore my phone back to its pre-flash state using a recovery image? please let me know. thanks so much!
wipe all, flash format zip, than flash cm7 zip.

You must flash: format system.zip first, then flash Mik's rom
Hi,
i've just installed the Resurrection remix rom on my phone but unfortunately the banking app that I use a lot doesnt work with it for some reason. How do I go about restoring my phone to the stock ICS and kernel... I do still want to keep root access, though.
This is the kernel I originally flashed it with
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
all help will be greatly appreciated
I should add that I tried to restore from the back up that I made in clockwork recovery but the app cant find it so I'm thinking the back up didnt work properly!
Anyone?

Using cwm wipe, if possible, format system partition, after that flash using Odin.
Learn how to use Odin, get file from sammobile, or check fus

Did you make a nandroid backup in CWM? If yes, just boot to recover, do a full wipe and do a restore.
If not, go to receovery, do a full wipe, turn off phone, flash the firmware you want thru odin. Let it boot. Power off again, go into download mode, flash a rooted kernel, let it boot and then flash the original kernel with CWMManager from within the rom.
Thanks guys... all sorted
Hi Everyone,
Every time I restore a sammy JB install from recovery it always hangs on the bootscreen and never boots up. I was wondering if anyone has had this issue before or its something that I'm doing wrong
When restoring I always run an odin flash using mobile odin and root it with philz. I then delete all the system folders, wipe cache etc and restore.
If i used a different kernel to backup the install i will install that kernel before restoring.
I've tried several roms such as neatrom, Alliance and Wanam but get the same result. CM/AOSP roms restore ok.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Question since you state you using philz kernel why dont you use his CWM to backup and restore your backups instead of Odin mobile.
iT comes as part of the kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

Thanks for your reply.
I only use mobile odin to flash official firmware so its a fresh start before installing a rom.
I've tried to restore from philz before but had the same problem. Normally use Dorimanx.
I myself had no probles with Mobile odin pro of CWM in Philz kernals and since Philz kernal this tends to be the normal backup or flashing aid for me. Since I have a Micro SD card install back up and roms are place on this..
by the way Im using SuperSUPro and not Superuser for root.

I have a possible solution just flash entire original rom(the one you are going to restore) once, then restore your nandroid backup, clear cache/dalvik, reboot. I have a hunch on the problem that it might be caused by another roms /preload partition data (our nandroid backup won't usually backup it by default so it actually never gets wiped or overwritten)
Edit :I forgot to mention a factory reset at the beginning.

By your case u can only flash a stock rom via odin.
But it looks if u flashed wrong recovery by the looks of it.
And from that its not a certain return.
But u can always try
Learn how to flash with odin.
And go for it.
Any help u need just pm me

Don't blame on TWRP, you might be doing something wrong.
1. Flash recovery via Odin, TWRP or Phliz touch.
2. Enter recovery to restore your backup, both TWRP and Phliz will work for TWRP format backup, or reflash the ROM /Kernel or whatever you flashed, better do a redownload, file may be corrupted.
3. If you still unable to enter recovery, flash stock firmware via Odin and use Titanium backup to extract / restore your data from recovery's backup.

Hi Moderator
Is it possible to close this thread as my query has been resolved now? Many thanks

Greetings-
Seems most flash instructions use TWRP or CW. The one I am looking at calls for doing a Nandroid backup, which as I understand, is done via stock recovery. Right? Well how do I install TWRP without messing up my stock recovery?
A nandroid is just a back up done with twrp ....really u may think hard about doing this with your phone because you will be asking us how to fix your brick soon

From what I understand and have experienced, you can't create or restore a nandroid backup with the stock recovery. That's one of the main reasons I rooted and installed TWRP.
