what rom are you currently running ?
What method did you use ?
With these details we are able to provide help as your first post lacks this information.

In philz change the back up method to .tar and instead of .dup
go to -recovery-backup and restore-choose back up method - tar.
there have been some reported problems with .dup method.
then try making making a back up again, it should work.
Dude ur absolutely rite man.finally it works thank u soooo... Much for ur help

Either:
- download a stock ROM from Intratech's ROM thread in the dev section and flash via Odin
- download CF-Root matching your current kernel version - this will give you CWM recovery back! (so you could restore a backup you maybe made using CWM)
hi im a bit of a noob but pls could you send me some sort of link for this method thanks

You can flash whatever rom you like over your existing rom. But follow the instructions for the rom you're going to flash to the letter; for example if it says to do a factory reset, do a factory reset, etc, etc.
root with flahing C-F root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
then from CWM recovery you can flash...
Ok so i dont need to flash 4.0.3 XWLP4 stock firmware using odin ?
My android XXLP2 version has already rooted wif cf root .
Now i jus follow the instructions ?
Thanks again.

Done all of that backup . But im afraid i'll get wierd thing like kernel panic mode .
Why would that happen ?

I had massive problems first time when i flashed, if you hit any bumps and cant start the phone after flashing, what i did was i flashed stock and then siyah kernel, put files on phone, boot to recovery and clear all data before flashing, that did the trick for my first flash
Hope you have a good time flashing and playing with your phone !
I don't need the stuff in the new version, i found 5.8.4.X.
Whats the latest 5.8.x.x and please give me a link.
Thank you!
Today ive got md5 mismatch after nandroid restore on 6.0.1.2.
So, i really need the old 5.x version.
Please help!
Flash one fom rom manager but it is preferred 5.5.04 1.5 from chainfire using odin. The way you rooted your phone.

This is the non touch version...
I've just restored a back up from 6.0.1.2 in tar mode with no problems. Have you tried switch backup modes to avoid using the Blobs folder

Hey all
We were trying to flash stock rom on a friends i9100 mobile and stupidly we selected .pit file (yeah I know stupid ,,,,,) It was a mistake and now when we try to flash a rom, odin gets stuck at factory_fs.img. We have checked for brick sectors but everything seems fine.
By flashing a kernel we can boot into recovery, that is possible we have done this. if anyone can plz provide a nandroid backup for this mobile we can restore from that backup. I think that this will work. So please if anyone can help us plz
Regards
Bilal
Flash a custom kernel such as siyah or Dorimanx, boot in recovery, flash custom rom through recovery. Job done

Thanks for you reply. I tried to help him flash Chameleon but it is not working. Any ROM that you would like to recommend, please ??
Maybe I am wrong but when we flashed earlier with the pit file, doesn't it mess up the partition ?? if that is the case will your method work ?? because all customs roms say ( if you are coming form this rom do this, coming from this rom do this and his mobile has nothing)
Thanks
solved, we flashed Resurrection rom and it worked then we flashed a stock rom.
hello all
i have a gs2 i9100
i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544
it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.
i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.
i tried different nightly version,no success.
then i folowed the official cm guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100
i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.
i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:
i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.
for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.
i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.
what could be the problem?
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
Phone model is gt-i9100
Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2
Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.
I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.
The rest is in my first post.
Appriciate your help.

Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.
When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
Thanx for your reply
Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?
2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?
And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?
Total noob at this.

Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
Thanx again
I read a lot and got a little confused.
Will do what u suggested.
Hope ill get it right this time.
Cheers.
