The only option you have is to boot back into recovery and restore your last backup. If recovery is unavailable you'll have to use flashtool to flash a complete firmware package, root, install XRecovery and then restore your backup. If it's a 2.3 backup make sure that you're running baseband .71.

Thanks for the quick reply!
What if I do not have a backup inside recovery..
Does that mean I have to Repair my phone using SEUS and lose everything?~~
PS. I am running 2.3.3 Stock FW

If you can get into recovery try this..... Do a backup first and then do a reinstall your current ROM. After you've done that do an advanced restore of your data and cache partitions from the backup you just made.
This should get you back to your ROM's basic system partition with your current data and cache. If everything works OK, you shouldn't even see any differences.

By "reinstall your current ROM", you mean reinstalling the stock SEUS ROM right?
I just made a backup inside recovery, I will go ahead and reinstall my phone now.
When I restore, are the texts, phonebook etc... being restored from recovery's backup? =) or will i lose those?~

I mean whatever rom you were using when you installed that zip that caused the problem. It actually should still be on your SD card as a Zip unless you removed it after you flashed it.
When you restore data you'll get everything back apps, texts, contacts, history etc.....

Oh, I wasn't trying to install a rom, i was trying to install this on a SE stock 2.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194266
After trying to install that zip, my phone cannot boot anymore~
I think I am left with reinstalling my whole phone?
Just thought i ask first,
in the Advanced Restore there are
Restore boot, Restore system, Restore data, Restore cache, and Restore sd-ext
I know for sure that i will not need to restore boot... lol, what else do i not need?

After you get back to your stock Rom and have root / XRecovery, just restore data and cache. Whatever you do, don't restore system or you'll have to start over

How do i install this, Do i just do the usual Like format the phone Wipe Cache and all that Or not. Also if i did Flash to this Would i be able to Flash back to Cm7.
Thanks
yes and yes.
Exactly what you said. Format the phone and wipe cache. But make sure to make a nandroid backup.
Sent from Dedi's Optimus T. -RazrUI-
yes for sure u can move back to cm7... make sure u tk cwm backup for safety
as i was searching the android dev section, i saw a 2.2 rom that caught my eye. its the Blue 2.2 Frankenstein-Fishmanmod Final. however im running Bionix 1.3.1 on a Bali kernel, can i just flash it over my rom? or i have to odin back to stock rom, then flash the new frankie-fishmanmod rom? i want to stay with 2.2's is i have given up on gb roms already.
You can just flash it. Odin to stock is cleaner
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium
thanks man! however, i still want to retain my files and applications. what can i do aside from going back to stock? and still cleaning up the phone. is there any other way? TIA.
Use Titanium Backup to back up your files.
i already did the back-up. can i proceed to flashing?

yup! after you have backed up all your apps and what not. in CWM i suggest you make a backup there too just in case you have a bad flash or just to have as a back up.
after that just flash like you normally would and then reinstall titanium backup and restore your apps! have fun!
thanks a lot sir. downloading.... ^_^
what would be the things that i have to wipe? still the same as any other rom?
1. factory reset
2. wipe data/cache
3. flash the file
4. cache partition
5. wipe dalvic

This custom rom is compatible with lock bootloader now...so I wanna test it out...does anybody with lock bootloader successfully installed this rom and between ExMIUI and MiniCMSandwich Lite which one is better in your opinion...
Thanks.
I tried them both yesterday, just to get an idea. No problem at all with my locked bootloader. Anyway, since I only catched a glimpe of both ROMs, I can't post a real review. You should try them both and decide if you like them
MIUI is more... mmm... i-phone style. MiniCMSandwich looks like a Galaxy Nexus

How to revert back to stock rom...
I try both yesterday, MiniCMSandwich i got bootloop.
MIUI can boot but MIUIHome and many other process FC's.
I can realize its because i am noob on Android mod

You got bootloop and fc's as you did not clear data.
@Till: these roms will have no problems to run on locked bootloader. As the ROMs are compatible with the stock kernel.
To revert back you need to restore the back up using CWM. In this whole flashing the zip and reverting back process, you just are making sure that you do not touch /system. That way, you do not mess up with nAa's CWM (its installed in /system only), and so everything will be fine.
In case you get a bootloop, just flash the ROM again by flashtool, or repair using PCC and all will be fine.

Rick

See, the nAa's recovery installed on locked bootloaders are installed on chargemon and charger files which are there at /system/bin of your phone memory.
Now, suppose you install a ROM which is based on the Stock Kernel. To do this you flash the zip you got from xda or somewhere. While this zip is being flashed, the /system files of the stock ROM are replaced by the /system files of the ROM you are flashing. This will cause the chargemon and charger files to be overwritten, and so, CWM messes with itself. And rest of the installation will fail, giving you bootloop or brick.
The kamarush ROM, which is supported on locked bootloader, takes care that it doesn't replace the /system. Thus, nAa's CWM remains intact, and you can successfully flash the ROM.

Rick

Not true. Before installing the ROMs, you NEED to wipe /system. You can do it via CWM (Mounts and storage, wipe /system, /cache and /data. Then Wipe dalvik cache in advanced settings). Otherwise, you'll end up with a lot of fc.

When you are doing a /system wipe using CWM, then CWM knowd how to protect itself. It will not delete the contents of /bin and /xbin files.

Yea. Right. You are correct. In the first post where I mentioned not touching /system, I meant that the ROMs which have been made to work with locked bootloader make sure that they do not touch the /system. The zip files have no instruction about clearing data. So all data has to be cleared manually using CWM, and nAa is clever enough to make sure that his CWM knows how to protect itself. . (I sometimes so badly wish that I had the brains of Kamarush and nAa. I could look at the smali code and know what it means. With my current brain, I have to spend a whole week to figure out what's what, and then editing is a separate story ).
Thanks,

Yo HAVE to wipe /system, because the current system will conflict with the new system.
In nAa CWM you wipe the whole /system (with /bin and /xbin) while it's running, and after wipe if you restart you will stuckat SONY logo, so don't reboot just install from zip. It will start Aroma installer and before the installation you have. to choose the locked bootloader version.It will install the ROM with nAa's CWM and now you can reboot and enjoy the ROM.

0. Get ROOT and install CWM. -> Only for Locked Bootloader
1. You must do a Full Wipe in CWM (System/Data/Cache/Dalvik-Cache)!
2. Copy the ROM to your SDCard
3. Flash ROM in the Recovery
4. Reboot & enjoy
5. First boot is loooooong
I don't get it in no. 1
I already told you. Start CWM Recovery on boot. Go to "Mounts and storage" and format /system, /data and /cache. Then go back, head to advanced settings and clear dalvik cache. Then install zip.
Till-Kruspe said:

Here's what he meant.
You just clear everything (in kamarush's thread it's mentioned) and then you do not go for a re-boot. You directly choose the zip you downloaded. Now the zip will ask you if you have locked bootloader or not. If you select locked bootloader, the ROM installation will start with the installation of CWM (which you had cleared along with everything else), and then rest of the ROM will get installed. Then reboot, and everything will be fine.

Rick

I can't agree on this point. You are using CWM to flash the zip, so CWM is still there
Hi guys, you can tell me how to install this rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012666
What kernel should I use for better results?
I think like any other rom...
Put it into your sd-card, reboot to CWM and do the wipes(Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system) and the install the .zip
But first of all you should flash the kernel which is given in the download(together with the rom)
AW: [Q] How to install this rom? xD
I think he better should not format system
Just wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache!

I'm doing it everytime I flash a new rom
Nothing wrent wrong :fingers-crossed:
Any ICS kernel is compatible. I strongly recommend MESA Hybrid v3.5 or LuPuS v3. I also recommend to format system before flashing new ROM. I've done it over 100 times safely. You'll avoid a lot of problems.

I think he should first do it without wiping system and incase it was required and he stuck in a bootloop, then he can simply do the process again with wiping system
Press THANKS if I helped,

I tried the rom(with rage kernel 3.2), and always go in bootloop
make sure u already have ur ROM on sdcard and the others (wifi-fix.zip or whatever)
on CMW, u can safely wipe /system when u wanna flash new ROM, but REMEMBER not to reboot your phone AFTER u wipe /system. if u do this, u will see "new boot kernel animation" a.k.a BOOTLOOP.
after wipe /system,/cache,/dalvik,/data,/sd-ext then next thing is install ur ROM.
if u using TWRP, its not necessary to wipe /system bcoz TWRP will wiping /system by itself when u install new ROM.
yes, i sent from my phone using Xda Premium, so what?
