Did you renamed the backup folder of your Nandroid Backup?
I havent renamed the backup file yet. Should I rename it?

What root method did you use? Rom manager does not play well with many cwm included in kernels, like cf root. Better use cwm and uninstall rom manager to check if that's the case

I used a cf root kernal to root my phone, but i installed cwm from rom manager.

Did your cf root kernel already have cwm?

Try changing kernel to one with cwm like siyah(ICS) or speed mod(GB) then create a backup from recovery? If you do change kernel remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache!

Where can i find these kernels, and how can i wipe the cache and dalvik cache?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Are you on ice cream sandwich or gingerbread? And cache and dalvik cache can be wiped from recovery:
In recover it should say 'wipe cache partition' and then go to advanced and select wipe cache partition.

I am on ice cream sandwich, and im supposed to wipe the cache and dalvik cache before i flash the kernal right?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Use siyah kernel, type that into Google and it's gokhanmoral, although make sure you choose the S2 one...you have an i9100 right? And it's recommended yes!

Great so know you can either download siyah.tar and flash using Odin or you can download siyah.zip and flash using cwm(remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache)

Thank you, I can now backup my phone
I have one more question how can i remove the yellow triangle, should i just flash the stock kernal?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No, that removes root, use a USB jig to get rid of it or you can use triangle away app by chain fire

When using Rom Manager and flashing a new Rom through it. Does it automatically wipe phone and the caches? Same question with Boot Manager does it automatically wipe my phone and the caches when switching Roms? Or is it better to just use the recovery and wipe everything before flashing a new Rom?

Hi I just installed Entropys newest Daily Driver kernel, and in CWM there is a Nandroid backup where is says advanced. Is it better to make the advanced recovery or just the regular? And what is the difference? Thanks.

Are you trying make a back up or restore from one?
Make the advanced recovery or just the regular say what ?!?
..the only thing you want to do in advanced is wipe dalvik cache. Perform nandroid backups I'm the main menu of recovery where it says backup/restore.

from all the guides here that i read so far mentions nothing about advanced nandroid back up. the only time that i read something about going in to an advanced setting in cwm was to wipe davlik cache so i would imagine regular would be fine.
Hi, i decided that i wanted to unroot my phone. I just flashed my stock kernel and CWM and Superuser are still there to my surprise, i tried doing this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 but i do not have an external SD card to put the files onto. I'm just worried incase i need to take it into Samsung for some reason. Thanks:good:
Did you do a full wipe? And wipe dalvic cache! Then try again to flash the official ics firmware.

Try to update cmw recovery to the latest one. Just update it threw rom manager and make sure you pick the right phone and carrier in the list.
I tried doing so,bur i only get like 7 phones from that list

You'll need to flash CM9 first, then the options will show up. Its looking for a specific name in your build.prop, and CM9 or AOKP should get it to show up.
Tried doing cm9 does not work also

after you flash CWM recovery.
did you wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache?
wiping those before flashing new rom usually solve the problem.
i usually wipe data/factory reset too but doesn't require
i suggest you back up your un-corrupted efs folder contain your IMEI first before you flash anything.
dont be like me. =)

Start it in Recovery Mode and Wipe Cache.

Wait for about 5 minutes.
If still frozen, start in Recovery anda Wipe Data, Wipe Cache. Phone will be reseted to initial state.
Reboot and wait.

If it is still nit working, wipe dalvik cache too
