I have a rooted s-on Evo 3D and Im trying to put my moms number on it since I got a new phone, but I keep getting an error I'm running a custom rom and I'm pretty sure you need to be on the stock rom so you could actually change numbers, I need to go back to to the stock rom, I have it backed up but I'm on a different kernel and since I can't just restore it I need to flash the kernel first of my back up, ive been using flash image GUI for flashing my roms but I don't know how to restore the back up I have of the stock rom, if I just restore it won't flash the kernel. Someone please help me. I can can fastboot I think, restore The backup. Does anyone have the link for the intructions? I can't find the thread that they made. Thanks.
What rom are you on? when you flashed it did you clear dalvik cache first?
Also you can try and go into custom recovery and clear you dalvik cache and see if that works!
Sometime (in my experience anyways) I have had to re-flash the rom because it was messing up after instal ie. FC on all apps but a fresh install worked like a charm.

So I installed Ziggy kernel, then I chose to try and install InfectedROM_Eternity_A1(1) which didn't work. I have tried everything to include restoring a backup and factory reset with no luck. Any help is greatly appreciate.

try installing this unsecured boot.img and reflashing Amon Ra, then do a restore or try another Rom. you should install or reinstall ziggy's kernel after you install roms, considering the method required to flash kernels with our S-On phones.

had the same problem, amon would restart when trying to wipe cache. I went into options in amon and formatted everything to ext3. That fixed it for me. I was able to then wipe everything and install backup

Thank you for the quick responses , I tried bamf 1.01 and it didn't work finally decided to try Ineffabilis-v1.0 and flashed the stock kernel and it worked fine. I think it might have worked because it wipes everything except the ext-sdcard.
Yes, the kernel stays between ROMs, so you have to watch out for that.
When more ROMs start ariving that depart from the stock format significantly. (Cyanogen, AOSP/ICS ports, MIUI, etc) they will need to supply both a ROM .zip and a boot.img we must flash after in fastboot.
If we want to run custom kernels in these ROMs, we will need to use the new tool provided in the Dev section that provides/converts the proper RAMdisk files and proper formatted boot.img from a kernel zimage.
Hey guys.
I'm on LA4 and i want to flash a custom ROM onto my SGS2.
I treid CM7 (flashed is twice) and som other ROMS but everytime i flash it, i get in a boot loop.
I hope i'm doing it the right way?
I copy the .zip file to my sdcard and press "install zip" in the recovery mode.
Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing the rom? It's pretty much important, especially if you're going from LA4 to CM7
yea,sure!
before and after the flashing i wiped all
Edit: Also try format /system after you wipe the 3 said above.
Try going back to your stock image and flash a stock KERNEL afterwards, boot CWM, flash a stock image, when done, flash a stock kernel and newest radio.
I'd say it might be a kernel issue. I had it when I flashed MIUI, and in reverse when I flashed back to others..

Try avoiding wiping it afterwards. Just wipe everything out, flash it and immediately reboot.
I also hope you did a nandroid backup as well. If you did that and it still boot loops, try restoring it and going back to it and having another go.
oh my gosh i figured it out!
CuraeL, you're right.. its a kernel problem
i have to flash the kernel again after the rom update.. weird but only that way it's working!
thanks
No worries. I have had to do it on a lot of the roms I installed myself, on my SGS II, back in the days. Wonderful phone, a bit weird the way the whole kernel thing is made. But I suppose that's cause the kernels are written for 2 different "builts" of the system.
Keep it in mind, as you might need to do it again some day, lol.
Have fun. ^^
I messed up my phone a bit and tried to do a data wipe in recovery (TWRP) but I was still having issues so I figured I would wipe everything, including /system, and just flash the stock ROM to get back on track. I didn't realize that the stock ROM listed in the dev section is in RUU format and not a flashable zip. I tried the RUU but it won't work, I assume because I am unlocked/rooted (I tried relocking the bootloader but still no go). So, does anyone know where I might get a flashable zip of the stock ROM or even a backup I could restore in recovery (if that would even work)? Any advice would be appreciated.
I need some help or guide here please.. i was on latest 5.1.1 updated, after successfully rooted my phone everything was perfect, untill i was trying to go back to stock.. i restored my nandroid backup and the phone successfully boot up, but there were no app nor partitions no anything.. i flash Candy5 Rom, and everything seems to work perfectly or any other rom.. but when trying to get back to stock nothing happens.. it just wipe everything and the phone wont boot at all unless i reflash any other custom rom.
when i am on recovery, i can see my phone storage and every files as my sdcard, what i believe that the phone has just only been wipe out but any of the update zip from this thread or any other i been trying to get back to factory stock has work.. i have try many thing with FlashTool,, i flash systems img, boots, img, everything you can think of to try get it back to stock.. and end up with the same results,.. some how messing around in recovery mode (flashtool hotboot dumkernel and other kernels that allow me to enter in recovery) i noticed, that system partition does not mount .. is there any idea or sucgestion .. i would really appreciated.. thanks in advance.
