Okay, so I installed Wolf's TW latest version, and made a nandroid back up of my old rom, I flashed Wolf's and flashed the kernel, and it worked just fine, but then I realized I didn't save my contacts so I tried to revert back to the rom before which was the stock 2.1-1 and it won't boot up anymore. It will get to the sony ericsson logo and then stay there, and the led would go white and reboot. I made a nandroid backup of both roms, and I can't seem to use SEUS because it says I have the latest version. The computer recognizes it, but I can't get into recovery or anything from Flash tool.

Stock 2.1 wont boot up on a 2.3 kernal
You need to flash the 2.1 stock kernal....not sure where it is but you can try some of the stickies in the dev section.
The other way is to use some of azuzu's tools to extract the nandroid backup.
Find it in the dev section...its called unyaffs (I seem to remember)...
Finally another way will be to flash a generic 2.1 firmware.
FInd some of them here

I figured out a solution!
What I did was I just downloaded a generic firmware and flashed it using flash tool and it went back to stock, and just reroot it and reinstalled a rom. Thanks for your reply!

hey guys,
I really need your Help!
I've flashed Trips Froyo Miui 1.7 ROM.. so far so good everyting worked great. Then I wanted to flash Z's zKernel but it didn't work, so I tried FreeKernel mod 3.60, but it also didn't work.
When I wanted to reboot phone after flashing FreeKernel it didn't boot up custom Kernel and after booting up the sytem I recogniced that I don't get a signal and sd- card doesn't mount. So I rebooted phone and hoped that everyting would work, but it didn't. So I turned off phone and wanted to restore a working rom via xrecovery, but I sadly had to notice that I can't boot into recovery anymore.
So when I boot up phone it always shows "Prozess system doesn't react" or something like that.
I really don't know what I can do now, so please help me!

If you can, plug in your phone in with flashtool open, if it reads the phone (tells u that busybox is found) then hit ask root perms and then install recovery.
I have already tried that, but it didn't find my phone..

2 options i guess:
1. reinstall stock rom from flashtool or
2. reinstall stock rom from SEUS/PCC
OK I'll try that and I really hope it works.
Flashing stock rom via flashtool worked.
Thanks for your help!

Do you first want to go back to stock/standard rom? Or just switch to Clean?
If you want to go back, i hope you made a backup, that makes things easier
If you just want to switch to a new rom, just do it the same way as you flashed CM7. Boot into CWM/xRecovery, choose zip, flash, factoryreset and wipe.
it's not just need the PC companion?.
I have a question. I want to restock my rom from the last backup I made from xRecovery, but im now with CWMRecovery, how can I boot into old xRecovery?
with cwm you have the option to restore using xrecovery backups

tcntad just say that, but thanks. Im to lazy to find a tutorial and just use PC Companion to go back to stock.
My son has one of these ph's...
Soonish I will install recovery using odin & then make a nandroid of his stock rom...
once we have that done I'm guessing he'll want to try a custom rom
do I need to flash a 2.2 stock rom before trying CM7??
If so, which stock rom should I be using... I'm from New Zealand btw (next to Australia).
T.I.A
Pre-requisites:
Visit the Basebands thread and make sure that you are using a baseband that is recommended for CyanogenMod.
You need a rooted phone, ClockworkMod Recovery (first time users must flash with Odin), and ROM Manager. For more information on all three items, see the Getting started with ROM Manager & ClockworkMod section in post #2.

In order to avoid flashing 2.2 then going to CM7 you will need first the correct baseband for your region and flash it with Odin before flashing CM7 port by MADTEAM. I hope that this was helpful

Thanx for reply ^^
but...my sons ph is stock 2.1, so it already has correct baseband
You're saying I can go straight to CM7 (from 2.1) as long as I flash correct baseband along with CM7 install?
Once I have CWM installed & everything backed up I'll give it a nudge

I understand, but you already need the 2.2 baseband version before installing CM7 port. It won't work with 2.1 baseband. Just go to madteam.co forum and grab the latest baseband version for your region, then flash it, and finally flash the CWM.
Stuck @ Odin ^^

Odin won't detect ph??
Cable is working... (can get into kies)
Ph is in download mode...
Drivers are installed (those for when ph is awake [auto installed via Win 7] & those from Samsung site when ph is in download mode [manually installed])
Must be the OPS file!!
I need one for GT I5500...
when I select the OPS that came in archive from the 'How to install CWM & CM7' thread... it shows I5500 @ the top of tool & not GT-I5500 from the images in the guide...
Please advise
These are the steps that I'm using to flash stock and other ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13958380&postcount=2
You have to pass the three key combination in order to enter "download mode". After you are in, you will like to load the OPS file which is named EUROPA_v1.0.ops. Choose "one package" in Odin options in the left and load the baseband that you've downloaded at the baseband thread in "One package" down in the right. Then connect the phone and the spot called "Com port mapping" will light up in yellow which means that not only that your phone has been detected, but it is ready to be flashed. Now click the "Start" button and wait a few seconds. Your phone will restart and probably will bootloop. Take out the battery and place it back in a few seconds later. Go to download mode again and load the CWM tar as "one package". Then flash again.
After the phone restarts you will be within the ClockworkMod recovery. Now it is time to place the update and gapps (should your son need google apps package for some reason) in the root folder of your microSD card (or in some folder called eg. CyanogenMod). Flash the CM update, wipe all data, cache, dalvik, battery stats, fix permissions, restart and you will see the blue skating robot. If you have a bootloop, redownload the update file for CM and reupload it to to sd card... now you are using the CM port by psyke83

Dude!! I flashed the baseband from madteam and now I'm in boot loop
Knew it sounded fishy
baseband on my moto is changed after rom install... not before
I'd appreciate if you could point me to a stock firmware that I can flash with Odin or tell me the key combination to get into recovery mode so I can restore the backup I made...
Edit: Found a English stock 2.2 rom which I flashed using Odin...
Can't we get into recovery with a key combo?? Seems odd
Here is the sequence of upgrading from 2.1 to CM7 port:
Plan B
1. flash baseband for 2.2 (or flash 2.2 itself and it will replace 2.1 baseband with 2.2 one)
2. flash CWM and it will reboot in recovery mode
3. install CM7 from update file from goo-inside.me...
or:
Plan A (psyke83 prefers this one)
1. root 2.1
2. install GooManager from G Play Store
3. open GooManager, check for updates, download update and enter recovery to install CM7
It looks like you've just completed step 1 from Plan B. Now it's time to visit download mode again and proceed with step 2, then step 3 and you are running CM7.
I tried going from stock 2.1 to CM7...my G5 is from the Middle East, with XSG product code so it was sitting on 2.1 since I bought it...
No matter how many times I tried going into recovery, performing the "4 wipes" and then installing in the correct sequence, it wouldnt leave boot loop...to top it up, my stock JJ2 rom flashed using Odin was also boot-looping...
I only rescued my phone by first flashing i5500XXJED and then going back to my stock ROM...
Was this because I didn't go from 2.2 to CM7?
got CM7 on it no probs ^^
tried reboot via power menu options & ph stuck at boot!?
Spent the better part of next 2 hours getting back to working 2.2...
will try suggestions below...
Edit: CM7 on & working ^^ going to stay away from 'Reboot' option though ;-P
Well, should you find CM7 not stable enough, just go with 2.2 until a stable CM7 relase is up.
You could also try this one: http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(beta-released)-mad-rom-2-5/
Sms text is white on white... Swiping up turns text black.
The biggie is no lock screen?!
Any one got a fix for this bug?
King_Rat on tap
We've settled on clean rom ^^
visually it's bit of a dogs breakfast
Extra large slider tabs!? Baby blue on baby blue!? No theme engine? (anyone know how to manually install this??)
Functionality seems to be good ^^ couple of the games he likes have a screen time-out glitch...
Otherwise all is good
So I finally tried some AOSP, but missed my camera immensely so I went to switch back to my backup that I made in TWRP.
Unfortunately AOSP roms use CWM recovery and it won't recognize my TWRP so I've tried to redo the Dual Recovery method but since I no longer have stock kernel it fails.
Now I've also tried to use fastboot to flash a boot.img which I thought was a stock kernel....but obviously I was wrong or it didn't want to work.
Either way as of now I'm using FlashTool to flash stock image, then root, then install DualRecovery again and THEN restore backup.
Does anyone know where I went wrong and hopefully provide a faster solution in case I go back to trying ASOP again? Maybe backup in CWM next time?
Now I do have to flashable DualRecovery.zip that I did try in CWM but it didn't work either, I'm guessing since I didn't have stock kernel...
Thanks in advanced. Why didn't Sony just have a dedicated recovery partition!

the recoveries in the original development sections are actualy stock kernels with recovery, you could use those instead if you dont want dooms modded/custom kernel

Well I did try to use the dual recovery but it didn't work. It says it is only for stock kernel so I didn't expect it to, but I had to try...
@ZPaul2Fresh8
EDIT: DON'T INSTALL IF YOU STILL WANT TO USE CM!!!
It won't boot the system of cm if you flashed the twrp img, just flash it if you want to go to a backup!

It was very easy for me, at the end i had a twrp 2.7.0.0 in my cm11'd Z2, you need pc, and usb cable, and fastboot and adb drivers, lol its way easier than flashing .ftf, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764971 and download the zip and extract it, follow this tout: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270 and you will be all good...

Just check all boxes of wipe section when you want to flash the FTF file(i mean ''userdata'' and ''apps_log'')
