I've looked through the forum and found too many answers.
Here is what happened.
I didn't like the ROM I just installed so I went to Restore old.
In clockwork, I hit restore (after backup yesterday). That finished and I rebooted.
My phone went to the opening screen. Which says Vibrant. And Samsung. It won't go passed that.
Do your custom room include the custom kernel? , if the answer was 'yes' so u cant use ur nandroid backup to restore ur previos rom, you have to flash again with odin or some thing
+ it just soft brick but u have to flash stock rom again
If u thing it help u so press it

The ROM that I flashed last night was RemICS. I forget what the original ROM was.
I will try ODIN
agreed with NoeRie. But still you can odin to stock . and later if u remember the ROM that nandroid backup was taken you can flash the ROM and then restore ONLY data.. [there is an option under advanced as i remember]

Thanks for the help.
Odin worked.
Now I need to pick a ROM.
For usualy use just pick a rom that with stock kernel , but if u do know the risk using custom kernel rom than , try it ,..
+the rom that use custom kernel will be more power full but if u want to back with ur nandroid backup you have to go with odin again , chose the best bro and read all thread before use some rom, usualy they have some bug to deal with . . Sory bad english

I think so ... wait wait there's another thing u could do
In recovery mode ..go to backup/restore ---advanced restore ..and try to restore "android/ data " or whatever data files present ONLY ..see if this helps otherwise Odin is ur biatch
EDIT: I went in my recovery mode to see the options well u click on advanced restore and then " restore data" ... cheers
Your solution
I know one another method.
U should reinstall another rom wich cointais the APK ext4 in order to transform ur filesystem from etx4 to rfs.
Let it work, it will take several minutes, and then, ur system will be again rfs.
U should then go to recovery, and restore without any previous wipes your stock nandroid backup.
When the restoring has ended, reboot normally ur phone and u will have ur stcok rom as like as u did ur backup.
Enjoy!!
(i 've used it several times, last time yerterday night, i have proved it on Ks5 ks9)

I think it's only the kernel as the file name said. The rom must be more than 100Mb big. (it's a long time ago when I flashed ftf...) maybe about 300 MB?

You need to root your ics rom and install cwm. Then you can restore the backup, but this would only help, if you took the backup when some apps and data are on phone. Otherwise this would be useless :silly:
Okk......thanks i restored sucessfully with previous apps n data .....thanks

Hi,
I bricked my phone and I can only boot into download mode. I need a rom which I can flash using odin. Is there a way to use odin to install roms in zip format or do I need a rom in .tar or .md5? If so, could you give me a link for a rom in md5/tar format.?
Thanks

Thanks, but just to make sure I understand this right (I have the same problem) .. this will put the stock ROM on my phone, then I will have to root again, and then use CWM to put a custom ROM?
Is there a rooted ROM that can be flashed using Odin? I'm not too pick on JB or not, it will be replaced anyway.
Thanks again.

No need to flash stock rom.
Just flash Siyah kernel (.tar) via ODIN (This will give you custom recovery) then wipe data and flash custom rom of your choice. It will come pre-rooted and with its own custom kernel which you can then replace with Siyah again or other kernel of your choice.

when u have problem like this the best way is to flash a 'Stock ICS v4.0.3' firmware on ur phone using 'ODIN' to have a clean flash and booting of ur phone
then u can simply flash the tar version of 'Siyah kernel v4.1.5/5.0.1' again from 'Odin' in dwnld mode to automatically root ur phone and install latest CWM recovery, which can be used to install the custom rom of ur choice

He has no need to do that. As I said above all he have to do (If they want custom rom) is flash kernel like Siyah via download mode then flash custom rom in recovery. No need to flash stock unless thats the rom you want.

And that is exactly what has been advised. What's your point?
The user only has access to download mode so is assuming he has to use download to flash rom. It sounds like he isnt aware that he can easily restore his recovery via flashing a kernel. It also sounds like the user wants to use a custom rom otherwise he would already know that he can flash stock via download.
This is why its been advised to flash kernel via download instead of rom. That way once he has his recovery back he can simply reboot into cwm and carry on where/how he wishes like for example flashing his normal/preferred rom via zip like usual.
Read this thread again and see if he can actually perform a kernel flash just to get to cmw so he can go flash a stock rom.
Here's the answer: yes he could.
now...wouldn't it be better if he flashes a stock rom, take a long breath as he realizes he's not bricked (read the topic) and then flas a stock rom when he's sure about giving it another try?
read beyond the words kid, beyond the words
TheATHEiST said:
No.
He has no reason to flash a stock rom unless he specifically wants a stock rom. If he does then yes he can simply flash stock rom as normal but its my guess that he wants a custom rom since he was asking how he can flash a ZIP.
If that is the case then flashing a stock rom (.tar) would be a complete waste of time and it would be much quicker to simply flash kernel like Siyah and reboot into recovery and then even restore a backup if he has one or just flash a rom zip from card.
Oh and stop trying to sound patronizing, I'm 30 years old and no "kid".
@ OP
If you want a stock rom then read one of teh many topics we already have on stock roms/how to flash them.
If you want to use custom ones via cwm then simply flash Siyah kernal and then reboot into recovery and then do as your normally would.

Hello.
I'd like to give MIUI a try, but, of course, I'd also like to switch back to my stock ROM if things go wrong or if I don't like MIUI.
How can I backup my entire phone (rooting, Recovery Mode capability and other on-power key-combination-activated features etc etc) and 100% failsafe restore it at any time?
Thanks in advance.
Rooted stock = do a nandroid (CWM) backup which is essentially an 'image' of the phone at the time you make the backup. Try MIUI; don't like it ? Restore the nandroid you took of your rooted stock setup. Sorted (You will need to ensure you backup the contents of your external SD card separately if you have one).
Be careful you don't 'overthink' this, it's really very simple both ways (backup/restore).
My Recovery Mode doesn't have a backup option

Thanks for prompt response. I took a look at current Recovery Mode menu and it doesn't include a backup/restore option like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery. It shows only the above:
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
test redbend fota[FS]

I've already downloaded Recovery from clockworkmod.com but didn't do anything with it yet.
Sorry if it has already been detailed in another thread, but I didn't find it and I don't know how to make such nandroid backup.
Thanks.
OBackup
I've just downloaded OBackup app from Play store and am doing my backup.
My question is: after I flash MIUI, what are the tools/steps I'll need to restore my backup?
Thank you very much.
That's the stock Android recovery.
OK...
What you need to do is not install CWM separately. That will only persist until you reboot & is designed to allow you to flash whatever rom/kernel you want which will have it's own version of CWM baked into the kernel.
That backup program you're using; no idea as I've never used it.
What I recommend you do is find a custom kernel you like (actually, any custom kernel will do given you're going to flash Miui) which will have CWM. Flash that into your stock setup, then make a nandroid (CWM) backup of your stock setup so you can go back to it if you don't like Miui/whatever else you try (If you restored this & wanted to go back completely stock/unrooted/etc, all you'd need to do is flash a stock kernel). This is what you asked for in your OP. I warned you not to start overcomplicating things, and this is exactly what you're doing.
The kernel supplied with Miui should have CWM, so if you find you don't like it, you should be able to simply restore the backup you made of your stock setup in CWRecovery.
I also very strongly recommend you learn 'the basics' as you seem to be lacking in this knowledge. Flashing stuff/etc without knowing these things leads to busted phones. Read the tutorials/guides stickied near the top of the General section; there's a wealth of information in those.

You can't restore your backup because of a different MD5 SUM which means that your backup has been corrupted.
Flashing a stock ROM or Kernel via ODIN will not increase your flash counter.
Flash NeatROM Lite, this is the best ROM ever, it like stock with additional things.

Btw which Rom did you flash?
also Wipe data cache etc. before performing flash
also remove sim card and charge upto 60% before flashing
Hope This helps
