CWM Problem Restore - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hey all
I have flashed a update of my ROM (Revolution ICS HD 5.5) to new version 5.8. Before i have done CWM Backup.
After having problems with the new version i decided to restore old version.
have done factory reset, cleared cache and dalvik cache and formatted system
after restoring and booting up system, now the contact app close when homescreen shows up, and i miss the settings.apk it is not installed anymore..

Updating instead of wiping and flashing the updated rom

I just downloaded the İCS REMİX ROM and the next version came out a few hours later... =.= I don't really want to waste a few hours flashing the updated version and customizing the stuff all over again. Are there any ways to just 'update' it instead of flashing it after wipe? I heard something about update.zip but do I need to get that from the developer or can I turn the CWM backup into one of those?
This is the link for the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Thanks!
why do not you ask at that thread if you can update w/o wiping instead of opening a new thread here.
anyway you can make a nandroid, then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash the updated version. if it gets stucked at any point while after flashing. you can get back to CWM and restore your Nandroid you made earlier.
Cheers.
You should be able to flash that update without wipe

That rom is just a CWM backup, so I guess you are saying that I need to use advanced recovery. So which part of the updated rom backup should I choose to recover?

[Q] Stuck during bootanimation

Hello, today I flashed Westcrip's Resurrection Remix 1.9 and after wiping the cache, dalvik cache and permission fix I restarted the phone. It shows the siyah kernel logo, but that's all. After 10 minutes of waiting nothing happens, I still can see that wonderfull logo.
I tried to reflash it, to make a full wipe, but the problem is still there. I flashed back to 1.8.1, which works perfectly, CM9 works as well.
I hope someone got an idea to solve that problem and I'm sorry that I posted it here, but as you can see, I'm new here and can't write into the development threads.
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Er... I hope I understand you correctly, you think it is broken? I don't think that the phone is broken, I opened CWM and flashed an older ROM version, which works well. It's only a problem with the new Version of the Ressurection Remix.
And what do you mean with cleaning the slate? That's the Adressbook, sms, etc, right?
Clean Slate or in non English total wipe of the phone for those that balls up the firmware or are having difficulty with a rom ..
Otherwise read the relevant rom thread .
Redownload the rom and flash again .

So, I tried it with a full wipe, but it does not help.
But then I downloaded it again, now it works... I can't believe it, such a simple solution, thank you!

error while restoring /system

hy i make nandroid backup of stock 4.1.1 rom and than install omega rom, and when i want to restore that it says:error while restoring /system!
so can someone help me*!*
Im new to rooting so dont take my word as gospel,
but the EXACTLY THE SAME thing happened to me in the wee hours of this morning (my post would have been same wording as yorus had I made one lol), I had to do a battery pull as after I tried to reboot and got stuck on the bootloader
So I battery pulled, booted in recovert, did a factory reset, wiped cache, wiped delvik cache and just installed the ROM file from the ZIP again and it worked Dandy.
I was worried as I didnt bother asking for any help from the forums.. but it worked like a charm for me
I do hope that helps..

Stuck on boot logo/android is upgrading screen Suddenly!!!!

Hey guys..
Firstly i would like to let all of you know..i havent modded or installed any rom/kernel for like 3-4 months..
But today..i installed some application..and i dunno after sometime..my phone restarted and got stuck on boot logo..i tried restarting it few times but the same thing..So i went into the recovery mode and wiped cache and dalvik cache and then restarted..now the phone did go past the boot logo but then a screen came saying optimizing applications and the now the phone is stuck on "android is upgrading..start applications" screen..Can anyone tell me whats wrong?
I dont wanna restore a backup as my backup is pretty old..and i didnt bother backing up as i wasnt fiddling with my phone in anyway..
So i just wanna know what can i do to restore my phone so it works again..? I dont wanna full format and resintall some rom and kernel,,
I am currently on neatrom siyah 3.3 kernel..
So can i just directly try installing the rom again from the recovery mode?

P.S. Also the phone vibrates for a very tiny moment while it is at "android is upgrading" screen and then nothing happens..
Help me out please i am getting a bit worried lol..

Did u also try to reflash Rom once?
This wouldn't infact ur Rom but replace the System files...
Maybe this helps
Much success

Yh m8 i did try flashing both rom and kernel separately but nothing worked..
well i got back my phone working from a previous nadroid backup.. but yh lost a good amount of data and few contacts and sms
Now can anyone please tell me what does these options exactly do with reference to what i wanna do:
1. I created a nandroid backup just before going back to my previous 3 month old backup. Can i get back all my apps by choosing: advanced restore-> restore data from CWM recovery? If yes, how will they affect the currently installed apps on my phone and if there is a duplicate or anything?
2. Can i get back my contacts/sms?
3. What does the restore system option from advanced restore exactly mean? It only restores my rom or also sytem files and system data?
thnx again..

[Q] Paranoid Android problems ! (cm9/cm10)

Hey guys !
Firstly i would like to thank the devs for this great rom !!
i like this rom alot but im experiencing some problems..i searched alot for some answers but couldn't find any...so i posted here
the problems which i am having are..
cm9 version: the phone is not reading my external sd card(gallery/music player..etc..data is not showing up) ..but when i connect it to my pc..i see that all the data is there !
cm10 version: i cant access the paranoid settings..it force closes everytime !!
is anyone else having the same problem ?? and does anyone know a fix??
anyone ?
have you checked to make sure the rom has flashed properly.. and that you have fixed permissions.. and when you did a full wipe (which you need to do to flash paranoid).. did you do factor/data wipe.. format system.. cache.. delvik cache.. then flashed the rom? what recovery are you using? are you s-on or s-off...?
