Could a flashed modem be responsible for why my phone dies when its been on a lock screen for a while or will it be the rom.?

Most probably it's the ROM.
I think that something in the ROM it's the guilty, maybe if you try fix permissions
Why not back up with Titanium, do a CWM backup and try flashing a new ROM? You would be able to go straight back if you wanted by restoring the CWM backup.
Thanks guys in the end I went with a restore from an earlier backup works OK probably the from.

I tried upgrading my girlfriend's Vibrant to one of the new 2.2 ROMs and she didn't like it, so I disabled voodoo, booted into recovery and attempted to restore the backup I made in nandroid. After 30 minutes of hanging on 'restoring data', I gave up and tried to reboot. Phone is now stuck in the vibrant logo and will not boot into recovery. Tried pulling the battery and it just reboots back to the Vibrant logo.
I know there is a way to fix this with something called Odin? (not sure if that's the name). My only problem is I don't want to delete any of her non-restorable stuff. Is there any way to fix this without deleting anything that can't be restored? Also, any idea why the nandroid backup didn't work? I'm afraid that even if I can get back into recovery, the restore will just freeze again.
I did notice when it was wiping to install the ROM originally, it also froze on deleting data, but a reboot fixed that. So maybe a reboot will fix that too but I'm not sure. Any help?
do you reboot when you have disabled voodoo and hear linda say 'convertion successful' ? sometime it will not work proper if you disable and flash something without reboot

I made this same mistake the first time I flashed. What it is, its that nandroid does not backup the kernel, so you have to flash one with the same version of android. At this point you will have to use odin to do it then once you have you can do a nandroid restore.

o i'v just got what your problem is！ you should flash a 2.1kernel before nand restore. because it will not restore your kernel

I think maybe he can get into recovery and flash a new 2.1 kernel. Will this work?

Post in the right forum and you will get the answer to how to fix it.
Moved to Q&A as not development
look at the bright side... at least ur Vibrant isnt stuck on the Captivate screen....
I'm sorry about posting in the wrong forum, honest mistake but it won't happen again. Can someone exolain to me what I need to do, in order, to fix this? I need to use odin, then flash a 2.1 kernel, then run nandroid restore? Which 2.1 kernel should I use?
If I try a rom not for my phone and then nandroid restore, will it restrore my old kernel as well? Or will I be stuck with the wrong kernel for my phone. I dont want to be stuck with non working hardware keys or something crazy.

Good to know.
Hi.
I just unrooted and rerooted tonight, I definitely do have root access, but my phone is not restoring my rom I backed up earlier today (or any rom for that matter). It goes thru the restoring process, and within 20 seconds it says "system data not found"...."data not found"....etc. The backup is there, I can see it on my card, its just not restoring it.
I thought I bricked my phone but I was able to install a rom from scratch but badly want to backup as that has all my data but its not doing it......
I'm stumped.
How did you back it up?
Try doing it from recovery without Rom Manager

So there is no solution for this problem?
I just flashed the latest stable 10.1.3 from CyanogenMod (released September 23) and now my IMEI is blank. Is there any way for me to restore it? I stupidly do not have a backup of the efs folder. When I check the efs folder now, it's empty. Is there anything I can do? Any help is appreciated.
Try this.maybe it could help.
Take out your provider card.Boot the Rom without it.then turn it off and put the provider card in. Boot your rom now.Is your imei back?

I tried this on mine when my IMEI number was changed by a rom. It didn't work for that. I reflashed to stock and mine came back. Can't get a back-up because it won't stay rooted same reason I can't restore it with Titanium. I started a thread on that issue.
I don't think titanium does imei... Reboot to stock or restoring an efs folder backup are the only ways I know how to restore an imei

Flash to stock with Odin. Get cwm recovery from the essential hard to find files thread in Dev section. Then flash cm7.2.0 backup imei from cm7 then flash to what ever ROM you want

You were correct. Titanium restores Android ID. It had been a while and had forgotten what is corrected by Titanium. Thanks clicked.

I used SOC, got root to stick, was able to load RemICS without IMEI changing. Thanks clicked.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I was at work when it happened, so I kind of panicked, lol. When I got home I flashed the stock image with Odin and now it's working fine. But I have since made a backup of the efs folder so I can just restore the folder if it ever happens again. You always learn the hard way, lol.
