So, I've been using CM9 for a while and I want to jump to CM10 nightlies. My question is that if I don't like CM10 for any reason can I just use the backup I made(before going to CM10) to go back to CM9, or do I have to Odin back.........?
i think u can

Yes.. You can... Perform backup. First.. make sure to flash fxp kernel..

Fxp kernel is used.by cm.... Extract the cm zip and the boot.img will be the kernel... Then flash the kernel using flash tool before installing Rom..( true for most Roms and solves bootloops )

So, I installed stock 2.3.3 KPW, the newest firmware. I suppose that my phone would work better if I installed a new kernel. Can anyone tell me how to do it and can I even do it on KPW? I read about CF-ROOT but it's a little complicated.
Complicated or not, cfroot is the only custom kernel we had for now. If u already read about it u should already know howto install it.
Sent from your phone
But KPW works just fine with stock kernel. Anyway, you can flash CF-root if you want without any problems.
I just did and it all went fine. Converted to ext4 and voila, its faster and now I have BLN. I got almost 1600 in quadrant(which is of course irrelevant).
i thought u can use cwm to install stock rom back...am i wrong?

hello people, this is probably the noobest question in the world ever but is it possible to switch from rage kernel to x-kernel without factory reset or anything.
its been a while i didnt play around with custom roms and kernels and make me forgot how to do so.
im currently using a rage kernel with stock .62 gingerbread. i found out my battery drains too fast. not sure if kernel problems or batterry problems.
now i want to test out other kernel which is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451150 X-kernel. hoping for it to give a better battery life than rage kernel gb.
so how to do this process again?
im too busy to check out the tutorial somewhere here. **** me, right?

Do a nandroid backup using clockworkmod before flashing xkernel . Flash the xkernel . If you lose data then restore the nandroid backup which you created before while you were using rage kernel.
I don't think you'll lose your data but it's always a good thing to do a nandroid backup. You don't know when you'll need it .

No, x kernel should be prerooted, too. Just flash it, it should work. But doing a nandroid backup first is a good idea, just to be on the safe side

im afraid i will lose root during the flashing process. cause im using link2sd. if root gone, the link2sd will go crazy and all my linked apps will be gone.
but thanks will try it tomorrow
No you won't lose root. Xkernel is a prerooted kernel.

So I had this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876792) and i wanted to go back to my official rom. I went to CDW wiped out system, date, ect etc and I tried to restore my backup which I did with my CWM before I use the custom rom. Everything ok but when I reboot me device it shows the bootlogo of the custom firmware and not the sony and after that it goes black. How do I solve this? I searched but I didnt find anything
Please be more exact on what you wiped and formatted all. What kernel and cwm version are you using? Did you made the nand backup with the same cwm version?

And you flashed back stock (based) kernel?
When you flash .ftf rom using a flashtool, it flashes all official components (rom, kernel, baseband) by default. I apologize flashtool is a most useful method to go back at stock rom. What do you think?

Download flashtool. Download ftf of firmware u want to flash. Open flashtool and drop that downloaded ftf file in flashtool window. Then check no final verification. Click ok. Then follow instructions given by flashtool. Done. Simple as that.

And be careful with device drivers. Install it from a Flashtool folder to avoid a flashing problems.

One last thing, as I said in my first post before i go to jelly bean i made a back up using CWM(The backup was on official ICS 4.0.4 + rooted + BL open). If I want to go back at that backup the only thing i need to do is go to CWM, delete system, delete data, detete etc etc and I do the restore?
Or I need first to flash a kernel for ICS and THEN restore the backup? Im still kinda confused with the kernel thing and the restoration...

Yea. Cwm doesn't reatore kernel. Just the system, data dalvik etc.
You'll need an ics kernel like alliance or suave to boot into the restored backup.

So that was the problem. I can use any ICS kernel or the official kernel( because the backup was on the official rom even though it was rooted) ???

I recommend you to flash a kernel that has been used at time you created a backup, because I had a problems with Wi-Fi when I do «hot-flashing« from suave kernel to night - elf.

If I format system will it delete the backup?
Also If I install stock kernel back from custom kernel then do I have to install CWM again?

The backup stays on the memory stick so copy it in your pc in case something happen
No you will still have cwm

If you used cwm from kernel, then yes, after you flash stock kernel, you will need to instal cwm to system.

From where?
I highly doubt that someone with custom kernel would go and install cwm in system.
Hello, i need some help.
The kernel i have been trying to use is: X10_4.1X_CMX10_bootmanager_v13 + v_14 and alot more, but i can't come in to the recovery after changing kernel. but with the "Stock" kernel in flashtool i can get into recovery. cwm and the other, but then i can't install the rom i want, i need to install the kernel above before i can install the rom. Sry for my bad english, but i hope u understand.
bump since i edited.
Comeone guys, someone know why i cant get into cwm after changing kernel
The problem is you are trying to install kernels that is not supported by your ROM.
Have you unlocked your bootloader? Check it using S1Tool
I had the same problem with that kernel I couldn't get into recovery. Which rom are you trying to install JB? Or ICS? Try armin kernel for ics or jb and see that's what I used

There? And shall i flash both rom and kernel`? then after flash the kernel and rom i want? thx for the help dude.
Problem solved, thx guys.
hi, i have a noob question, i dont know so much about repartitioning and other things, my question is, when upgrading a rom it does at normal procces (wipe data and install zip) . im taljking about for example ,i'm now in shostock 3 , it is android 4.1 and if i would back to cm9 , could i do that?. i have a nandroid backup of cm9, can i just restore this backup and i wont have problems without matter the rom i'm coming?, sorry for my english and thanks for the understanding.:good:
I'm not familiar with CM9, but the only issue would be if the ClockworkMod Recovery in the SHOstock3 kernel is compatible with the backup made with thebackup made with CM9. I'm thinking it might not be because the Jebo kernel in SHOstock3 backs up a pre-load partition.
Do You think then that is better flash again cm9 instead of the backup?
