Just restore "system" from your nandroid backup.
You did a nandroid backup, right?
The quickest and best thing to do would be to do a factory reset if you can and then flash another rom with odin, or just flash another rom.
Can I ask why you wanted to remove or move that file?

i have a titanium backup on my phone. as well as a cwm backup.
i dont understand the whole mount \ system feature.
I mount the \ system, but nothing happens. i assumed that allowed me to view the system folder on my computer?? Since when i mount USB storage i can see my USB storage!

the rom zip file is still on my sd card....could i just flash the rom back on the same way i did it the first time ? (through CWM install zip from sd card)
hehe
nandroid backup = cwm backup
restore your backup and try screwing up with your ROM again : )
ended up re-flashing the same rom.
phone started up perfect with all the settings intact.
thanks for help guys
Hey everyone!
Just got my phone back from repairs since I received the white light of death. I noticed a lot of people here looking for a Rogers Nandroid so I decided to upload mine.
Features:
Stock Rogers Rom Version: 2.3.5
Rooted using SuperOneClick (Zergrush)
CWM on Boot
Updated SU Binaries
*EDIT
New Instructions for Restoring
After you download and extract the folder, change the folder name from Rogers Stock to any other name without a space! - This will ensure you donot get the MD5 Mismatch error when restoring the backup!
[*]The renamed folder needs to placed in "/sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/<here> ". sdcard-ext is referring to your external sd card. If you don't have one then your clockwork recovery folder should be in your internal sd card so it should be placed there instead.
After restoring, Please do a data+cache+dalvik wipe or a factory wipe from settings in order to wipe any of the settings left from my backup.
Link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3350670/Rogers%20Stock.7z
Tips:
If your phone is stuck in AP/Fastboot mode and you want to restore to Rogers ROM
Download RSDLite and either the Retail.BR/Vivo LATAM fastboot files from the development section.
Restore your phone to working state by using RSDLite.
Root and install CWM on boot.
Finally, boot into CWM and restore Nandroid in order to return to Rogers Stock.
If you have ever used a RetailBR/Vivo fastboot on your RAZR, you will be able to restore this backup but you won't be able to receive the 2.3.6 Rogers OTA. In that situation, you're better off using the 2.3.6 RetailBR fastboot from the developers section and restore that using RSDLite. Do not restore this backup over the 2.3.6 fastboot as this backup is 2.3.5!

Thank you, this is very useful
will this work for rogers in wpg? And the reason im wanting to use this is cause i messed up my contacts deleting crap (yahoo crap i believe) and will this fix it?
Thanks.

Yes. It should work fine for any Rogers Razr. You should be able to boot into CWM and restore. Make sure you don't have any SU backups using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper as I believe it does break the Nandroid Restore.
Will this fix my contacts force close problem from removing yahoo? It would be great if it does!
Thanks heaps!
Did you just freeze or did you uninstall a system app? If its just a freeze, then you'll have to unfreeze the app in order to fix the force close. If its an uninstall then yes this should restore all the apk's back to your phone as they come out of the box.
THANK YOU DUDE!
its not a fastboot, but it should works the same, right? i have safestrap installed might try this out...

Np, and yes it should work. In the odd case it goes wrong, you'll have to use the RetailBr/Vivo fastboot and restore using RSDLite since those are the only two that can be flashed onto the Rogers xt910.
Quick question....
Whst do you use to flash this? Bootstrap? Which version?
Coz i just realzed gsm phones doesn't work with safestrap...
Yep bootstrap is the way to go. You should install bootstrap and then cwm on boot. Make sure you copy my backup to the clockwork recovery folder on your external sdcard, go to backup/restore and then select it and let it restore. If you want your user data to stay, i believe you can go into advanced and do a /system restore only.
Also make a backup of your current one before you try this incase you encounter any errors and cant restore my nandroid.

So bootstrap really works only owith extrnal sdcard, huh? I installed it last night n I can't make a backup coz it cant mount sdcard lol...
Guess I'll stop by Canada computers tmrw!
Tgx
PS: 3am reply? From Toronto? Nice
You can use internal sdcard as well however its not really suggested. I believe under mounts and storage you can go and mount the other card.
Thanks for the Rogers' backup, dude! I wish they would release ICS or 2.3.6 at least

tried doin this but gives me MD5 mismatch
Sorry I forgot to check up on the thread. You can bypass the MD5 mismatch by renaming the folder and removing the space in the folder name and it should flash perfectly.
Thank you for putting this up I just have a question if there is anyway that I can use this to restore a bricked phone. I can't go beyond AP fastboot
No you cannot use this as a fastboot however you can use the Retail.BR fastboot flash that to get phone working. Then root/install CWM and restore this nandroid in order to get back to stock Rogers state.
hey Evon, another quick question:
dont u need to unroot to get official Rogers OTA with your Nandroid?
I'm not sure about OTA's. I believe you can still be rooted and receive OTA's however you must be on the stock Rogers Rom in order to receive the Rogers OTA. I could be wrong since there has not been any OTA so far from Rogers so we'll have to wait and see.
Hey.
My Galaxy S2 is acting up again with bootloop, and I can't access what's on the device. I can get into CWM and I've successfully backed up my current ROM. Now my question is: does CWM back up everything? Like app data and everything? I've got an app that has tons of notes on it that I really need and I'll be distraught if they're gone as it'll take me a good 12 hours of work to get them all back. So if I flash back to stock, then flash the backup will it be exactly like it was left with the notes intact? Thanks for any replies. They're much appreciated.
Thought it was backed up. Apparently not. It's saying something about not finding SD-ext and then something about MD5sum or something? Any help please?

CWM backups everything. literally everything. Try going into Restore from Internal SD card instead of external SD card. It might show up there. No need to reflash anything, just restore the backup and everything should be back to normal. Only the data you backed up will come back btw.
Even after flashing a new rom you can still restore the data.There is an app called nandroid browser which will allow you to browse cwm backup files just like normal files, you can use that app to restore specific data of any app you want.

Thanks a lot guys. Getting worried about this though, CWM doesn't seem to want to backup for me. It keeps failing on all-sorts of things, just a moment ago I tried and said
"Error while backing up boot image!SD Card Space free: 13200MB"

But just before that it says:
SD Card Space Free: 0MB
There may not be enough space to complete backup... continuing...

I can't quite understand it though. Why is it even saying no sd-ext? I've got a 16GB SD card for music and videos inside the phone.
After that it let me attempt the backup and once complete (sort of) it says:
Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Generating md5 sum.,,
Error while generating md5 sum!

Not expert enough but for note app, use programs like 'Evernote' which store all of your notes in the cloud. You can get'em back anytime you want.

if you did back up of the ROM from CWM to resolve you bootloop issue then it is wrong...you have first resolve bootloop issue and make back up..
1) the ext-sd which you are talking about is not your external SD card...it is an additional partittion which is made for system data on your external SD. when a rom is backed up from CWM this partition also is backed up. if you are not made such partition on your external SD, the process simply skip saying no ext-sd available, this is not an error, it is not really meant that you have no External SD, this action is the second last one before creating the MD5 during back up process.
2) after the completion of the backing up of all the data it automaticaly create a MD5 checksum file of your back-up files. this is the final action during the backing up. if you get an error while creating MD5 cheksum file your back will be there in your SD card, but you cant use that for restoring from CWM. since MD5 is not created properly, it will show the error MD5 checksum mismatching or something like that.
just flash any other kernel like latest siyah kernel and try CWM back-up is working properly till the end.
Try wiping Cache and Dalvik cache for getting rid of the bootlloop.
if you are not at all able to solve boot loop isntall a new rom, you can install your applications from CWM backup using some applications, like Titaniim back up if you have donated. no matter it is not created the MD5 properly.

Thanks for that. But won't installing a new ROM erase app data? Which is the whole point of the thread really, I can't extract the data which is needed.
Trying to charge it here, and the phone is getting ridiculously hot, so much so that I can't actually hold it for more then a few seconds. Do you think this could all just be a battery issue? I had one previously like this, bootlooping also, but previously without a power source, the phone would not turn on at all. This time it will. I'm just very confused.

Installing a new rom doesn't erase data app since all your data is in /data. It will only erase data if you wipe data/factory reset. I suggest you wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format /system and flash your rom and flash gapps (if gapps not included in rom). This way, your internal apps data is always safe

Yes it will erase your apps and data...if you are flashing a wipe ROM, but if you have a non wipe rom of your current ROM flashing of that wont erase...
you have made a back up which the process reached till MD5 check sum....that means that back should be there in your SD card from which you can restore your applications..
you go to recovery again and go to mout and storage and mout USB storage after connecting to the PC...check are you able to access the SD card and check clockworkmode folder and the backup file....if it is there then copy paste to PC.
if you are able to access SD Card then you can download another kernel or rom and paste on the SD card for flashing from CWM.
before flashing another ROM you can try changing your Kernel,
on which firmware are you currently?
Hey guys - I'm back. I've had to use my girlfriends old Samsung Genio for a few days. Worst days of my life to say the least.
I need my SII back. A few days ago it wouldn't charge at all (hence not being able to get to CWM). But it seems to be doing just fine now. Although I've still got the same boot-loop. I've mounted the SD card, and found the backups - they contain these files:
boot.img
data.ext4.tar
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Are these all the necessary files to restore? I'm very wary.
Also, if I do flash a different ROM, how will that have the data from my previous ROM if the new ROM doesn't have the apps?
If I do end up restoring, will that restore everything? I mean settings, SMS, app preferences, widgets, app data (Twitter drafts especially) and stuff like that?
Just want to be safe before I go and ruin things.
Btw could all this be due to the lack of free space on the phone? Seems like there is no space whatsoever. Finder is claiming there is 'Zero bytes' available. Surely that can't be good.
Bump. I really don't know what I should be doing.

A full cwm backup contains of:
- .android_secure.vfat.tar
- boot.img
- cache.ext4.tar
- data.ext4.tar
- nandroid.md5
- system.ext4.tar
If you do a full cwm backup, all youre data (Apps, Contacts, Sms, Settings and so on) will be safed
After restoring a cwm backup you will get exactly that system, which you had before flashing, bricking or whatever.

update, i was running neatrom lite v 3.xx before, so i tried an experiment, i installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686 neatRom Lite v4
this installed ok, when "android updating" , after the initial install, i noticed that it was updating 156 apps ( the amount of apps i had originally)
however when you start you can only see 34 apps, which i guess must be the stock amount of apps with this rom
still cant restore anything , still can see that backup i did this morning, still get the same error message when i try and do any kind of restore ie MD5 mismatch"
is there anyway i can recover:
my contacts, those apps, my messages,
ie just the data and, have the apps ( that were just updated, but not visible) available?
thanks !

Just flash the same kernel you used to to make the backup, then restore your backup with that.
Btw, You didnt have a "soft brick" there is no such thing. Its a made up phrase by n00bs when they dont know what they have done and cant get system to boot so need to label it in some way. A device is either "bricked" or it isnt.

Yes i take your point about the "soft brick" , same as "she is a little bit pregnant" i guess
Linkhunter sent me a link to re-create my md5 , it's an EXE program, so needs to be run under Windows, im just just not sure how im supposed to get it to make a new md5 for my back up
can anyone give step by step instructions i can follow
re "Just flash the same kernel you used to to make the backup, then restore your backup with that.", are you saying because i made the backup with kernal A ( ICS), then tried to migrate to kernal B" ( Jellyban) , that it was the migration mis-match that is causing it not to restore,. Why i ask, is because i made another backup for some reason last September, and i tried to restore that one and it looked as if it would restore, i didnt get the (using ROM Manage Pro) message saying,." this doesnt appear to a valid backup, md5 is missing" .i stopped at that point, i still would rather get my latest backup (the data and apps restored) if possible

BTW there is a way to recalc md5sum via terminal emulator, just google it and you'll be able to restore. Happened to me too and solved this way
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
If you ever run into an md5 mismatch error when trying to restore a backup, you could try the following ^^
Using Terminal Emulator: (mind spaces)
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backup-name-goes-here
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Do usual wipes then restore the full nandroid ^^
NB, if it works (it has for me in past) it'll prob only work once for a particular nandroid...
so, after (if...) it works - just del old nandroid & make a new one

Thanks Childs-Play. I tried the OTA that I got from a member's google drive and I got the status 7 error, so I removed the "assert" lines in the updater-script file and I get the "....Updating Package....Installing Package...failed".
Is there a particular file under the Zara CL list that I should be using?
I've also tried to do an "adb push systembackupfolder /system/" by using a system dump i found, and after rebooting from the recovery, the files are gone.
Theres a file called system backup under the zara-cl list. Download it and unzip then drag the folder to sd card/cwm/backup or internal storage/cwm/backup then get into recovery and go to backup and restore and select restore then choose the folder that u downloaded and u r ready to flash a rom

This is what happens when i follow your steps :
- Backup And Restore > Restore from /sdcard (I get "no files found")
- Backup And Restore > Custom restore job from /sdcard > Start Custom Restore Job (I get "nothing to restore in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup")
- Backup And Restore > Restore from /storage/sdcard1 > kk_stock_dump/ > "Yes - Restore" (I get "Checking MD5 sums... MD5 mismatch!")
- Backup And Restore > Custom Restore from /storage/sdcard1 > Start Custom Restore Job > kk_stock_dump/ > (I select build.prop) > Yes Restore kk_stock_dump (I get "/storage/sdcard1/clockworkmod/backup/kk_stock_dump will be restored to a selected partitions! Checking MD5 sums... MD5 mismatch!")
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
UPDATE
So I turned off MD5 check in the recovery settings, and did Restore from /storage/sdcard1
Now I get
>>Restoring /boot...
Using raw mode
boot.image not found. Skipping restore of /boot
>> Restoring /system
No system backup found(img, tar, dup). Skipping restore of /system
>> Restoring /data...
No data backup found(img, tar, dup) Skipping restore of /data
>> Restoring /cache...
No cache backup found(img, tar, dup) Skipping restore of /cache. Volume not found! Skipping restore of /sd-ext...
Finalizing, please wait...
Restore complete!
Restore time: 00:00 mn
press any key to continue.
R u on jellybean or kitkat? I assume u r on kk. We dont have cwm recovery for kk. U need to flash twrp
I had TWRP on it before and I was trying to adb push the system dump directly to the /system folder and the files wouldn't persist. I'll try again in TWRP using both methods, TWRP's restore function and adb push of the dump to the /system folder. Am I correct to still use the KK dump, or should I use JB instead in this case?

Followed your instructions and made some progress but now this is what I get:
[RESTORE STARTED]
Restore folder: '/external_sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT3ABSD01726/KK_stock_system_dump'
Skipping MD5 check based on user setting.
E:No partitionss selected for restore.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
No not the system dump file. I meant a diff 1. Its the system backup file

This is not a flashable zip file.
What is your bootloader 2.20 or 2.22?
Probably kk
So good news I found this https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8-7I2_Vt73ldUNPd2c4X0xoQXc/edit zara_cl442.zip on the same thread, I unarchived the files and put them in my twrp/backups/phoneserialnumber/ folder and did a successful restore!
Thanks guys!!:victory:
Now I'm getting strange behaviour.......my phone reboots at random. It seems to reboot every 2-5mins ....Well at least now I know how to do a restore with TWRP....:highfive:
Not sure why it happens
After the last maybe....20 random reboots.......it seems that the random rebooting has stopped.

I create for you flashable zip. Uploading to google drive. Wait cca one hour.
Edit. Here is flashable zip Stock Virgin mobile rom for you Zara CL. In recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache and format system before flash.

Thanks a lot standak14 . I flashed zara UL to my phone and got the same random reboot issue, turns out its SuperSU(force closed it and everything became fine). I wish it was possible to disable the simlock on this phone though. I'm Never buying a Virgin Mobile again.

When I flashed this zip I thought it was stock kitkat for zara_cl. However it would not make my phone boot.
Edit: I'm now realizing this is likely because of hcheck or custom boot.
