Just wondering if I did a backup then installed a new Rom
To return to my old Rom can I just flash the nandroid backup? Just thinking of testing some Roms but I don't want to mess about setting stuff if I want to return to my old Rom
Lazy me I know

Yes you can! But it's not called flashing, that's what you do to ROMs, it's called a restore. You can put it off as long as you can and it'll be there waiting for you when you need it most.
Thanks a bunch I might try a few Roms now then and see which I like the most thanks

I rooted my Vibrant and then performed a ROM backup using ROM manager. My question is, if I wanted to try a different ROM, will I have any issues flashing back to stock if I need to? I want to be able to flash back to stock and still get OTAs if I want to sell the phone sometime down the road.
thanks

Well done... as I did lol a bit... (sorry for bump)
Hate to ask a dumb question but..
if I was to try a different ICS ROM say going from SHOstock's ICS ROM to task's AOKP 4.0.4 can I use the back up from SHOstock's and restore to AOKP?

No actually the other way around, I have SHOstock 1.1 ICS now and want to try task's AOKP ICS... Just not sure if I could or should use the backup from SHOstock as a restore after flashing AOKP??

Everything backed up by the Nandroid back up, apps, settings, layout, system files ect...
I'm Running Nandroid backup right now and realizing what I am asking is probably not doable seeing the two ROMs will have different launchers and such..
I take it that if I flash task's AOKP and decide to go back to SHOstock THEN I can use the backup I'm running now to restore... Correct??
you do know how a nandroid works right?
Not exactly, I always used TiPro to restore apps&data but never used Nandroid for a restore.. That's why I'm asking, just not quite sure what its limits are..

if you restore a complete nandroid, you are restoring the COMPLETE rom....wiping out the new rom.
you should never restore /system anything when going from one rom to another.
a nandroid is a complete system image. like a snapshot of your entire phone

HI everyone
I have samsung galaxy s2 AT&T SGH-I777 Cyanogen mod 7.1 versione android 2.3.7
I notice almost everyone have already last version 4.0.3 so the question when will be avaiable for cyanogen 7???
I have one rom manager PRO and i tried to check if avaiable new update but still not yet but im afraid that rom manager wont work or maybe coming too much delay?
Someone could please explain me about it?

in short, CM7 is based off Gingerbread and CM9 is based off ICS. If you want ICS, flash CM9 or one of the other roms in the dev section(s).

You need to read around a LOT more.
First off, don't use ROM Manager on a Galaxy S2.
Second, no, there is no version of 4.0.3 for CM7 because cm7 itself is 2.3.7. What you want is CyanogenMod 9.
EDIT: Ninja'd! That took me much longer to type than I thought it did. :S
Has anyone mentioned to you that you need cm9 for ics?
Oh there it is.

hmmm so i have to flash cm9 but is stable ? Too bad that im not good experience how to flash (cause i didnt even tried first time...i got cyanogen from china already installed).
I dont wanna finish brick or tilt telephone lol maybe i have to give support if someone know how to work this update.....is true talking about Mod is not automatic update need always do something manual...like odin ( i dont know either how to use odin anyway but i heard most ppl use it)
Edit= worse im not good english either but italian doh..

You can use TB to backup apps and data. Just remember when you're restoring apps on your new rom, DO NOT restore system apps/data. It will royally screw things up. The best course of action would be to manually select which games/apps to restore with data. The rest of your apps you should just redownload from the Play Store.
As for ROM Manager, it can just mess things up on this phone. You don't need it though...you can do everything you need to do with CWM Recovery or Mobile Odin.

CMW = ClockWorkMod
Also, should he not follow the basic instructions for first time flashers so he can undo whatever the hell the Chinese dude did?

@matt,
I thought ROM Manager still works perfectly for any CyanogenMod ROM, CM7 or CM9. It's just highly recommended NOT to use with any other ROM that not-CM.
@OP, I strongly suggest you spend much more time reading and make sure you understand the whole process of making the CM9 on your device. In fact, it will save you more time than just keep flashing it, bricking it and hunting for help.

For cm7 it was okay for downloading but not flashing as i understood it but cm9 can make full use of it. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

If you already have a kernel with ClockworkMod, you don't need to worry about flashing one before flashing CM9.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Nandroid backup.
2. Download latest CM9 and GAPPS
3. Do a full wipe in ClockworkMod
4. Flash CM9 in ClockworkMod
5. Flash GAPPS in ClockworkMod

you know what ROM manager is?
ITS A GUI INTERFACE FOR CWM
you can boot into CWM directly and do anything that ROM manager can do except download the rom....
we have stickies outlining all this stuff already, not sure why thats a totally new concept for folks these days

U need to perform a full wipe and flash the ROM. Don't worry about the kernel because each ROM cones packaged with a kernel.

You will lose all your apps and personal settings because you need to do a full wipe. You have to back up your apps with titanium backup and restore them after you install shostock3.

the others have covered the method. just wanted to add that if you restore from Titanium Backup and have issues with the ROM, the restored apps may be why. If you like what it has to offer, try a full wipe and reinstall apps from scratch before giving up.
Nandroid backup first!!
smsbackup + Titanium Backup = win.
Backup your launcher too if you can.

A few questions;
1. What happens when you try to restore the backup?
2.What ROM are you using now?
3.What ROM were you using when you made the backup?
4.Have you performed a complete wipe since making the backup?
After you answer these i might be able to help you.

1. First i found the directory and pressed backup. It din begin only stuck at 0/56 (apps)..
2. Im currently using omega rom
3. Had flashed fusion rom.
4. No wipes.Im a regular flasher and im good at making things work. I tried everything, changed kernel, made a super wipe and installed rom again..still no luck..This happens everytime i install a aosp,aokp rom

Sorry, I'm confused, you said you didn't make a wipe, but then you said you did. Please try to be clearer. Also, Ive never used either of those ROMs so it may be that their file systems are incompatible, see if the backup works on the Fusion ROM. If it does, then they probably are, if it doesn't then the backup may be corrupt.
