So i rooted my SGS2 on its stock JB rom using Philz touch kernel, made a nandroid backup and then switched over to CM 10.1 which has been running fine.
Question is if i want to switch back to using stock rom with philz do i flash philz first and then restore my backup or can i just run the backup from the CM 10.1 kernel.
If that makes sense.
Big thanks for any help.
you flash stock Rom using odin then root then flash the kernel
Just restore your backup from CMRecovery as you normally would. A nandroid is a snapshot of your phone at the time you take it, so if you restore it your phone will revert to the state it was in when you made the backup (so you'll obviously have to sync your calendar(s)/contacts, etc, etc afterwards).

I want to add a little something too..
The nandroid backup is related to the custom recovery, and not the kernel.
So, u don't need the same kernel that u used to make the nandroid. U just need a similar or compatible custom recovery.

So go completely back to stock then re flash philz and then i can recover my backup with everything setup they way i want.
The outcome i want is to restore back up of my stock rom with philz kernel with everything installed and setup they way i like it.
And if i flash my stock rom using odin it wont produce the yellow triangle and up my counter, until now ive been able to avoid the triangle using philz
thanks for any help
EDIT: posted this before seeing the other replys.
Twrp or cwm ? Can only restore with right recovery witch one did you bk up with. What was your stock ROM?

Hello,
I have Omega v19.1 ROM right now and it feels like my phone is slow and tired. Will removing the ROM or go back to normal like it was when I bought it make it faster/clean it?
If so, is there a guide here on how I can do that?
Thanks in advance!

Do you want to return to stock? Or to ur previous ROM? Or do u want to remove bloatware??

Its really easy.
Just search for 'Stock Firmwares' and u will find many threads on XDA. Or u can visit sammobile.com.and choose an appropriate firmware. Then download it.
Flashing is a bit more advanced. I suggest you read about Odin and flashing stock roms.

Going back to stock should make your phone a lot worse/slower.
Thats how you root and stick on a custom kernel at the very least.....to remove crap that you couldnt do normally.
Like theunderling said, stock firmwares do contain bloatwares. Since ur on Omega v19, why not update to Omega v21 (preferably after a full wipe)? Maybe that would speed up ur phone...

so i've decided to downgrade back to ics as im getting kinda bored with jelly bean. can i safely flash stock ics firmware via mobil odin? as i cant use usb connection as my pc wont detect my device. also i saw in a thread something about a brick problem with 4.0.4. what is all that about and can i flash stock Australia XSA I9100XWLPW ics 4.0.4 from Mobile Odin safely or will i need to flash 4.0.3 and upgrade ota?
Fix your usb problem first.If you dont theres a chance you could be in trouble.
You can flash firmwares directly using Mobile Odin. And brickbug affects stock 4.0.4 firmware with stock kernels.

i have flashed other firmware via mobile odin, was just curious if there was anything i should know about downgrading. also i had a bit of a look but im not sure i understand what it means by brickbug affecting 4.0.4 roms and stock kernels. does that mean it wont work at all with stock 4.0.4 kernel? and do i need to do something extra to use 4.0.4?

Downgrading/upgrading is no different when ur flashing a firmware via Odin/Mobile Odin. And like theunderling said, a working computer connection might save u one day...

ok so after some reading what i understand is that the brickbug only comes about if i wipe with CWM on stock 4.0.4 with stock kernel?
therefore if i have a custom kernel like siyah or use stock recovery to wipe everything should be fine?

Good work!
Brickbug occurs when u wipe with CWM while on a stock kernel on 4.0.4. If u flash a custom 'safe' kernel, no more risk of bricking even if u wipe.

So today i felt like restoring a previous nandroid backup i made a year ago. i was on 4.0.4 stock+siyah and wanted to go to jelly bean if im not mistaken (cant remember for sure tho). Thing is i tried to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, but still, i cannot get rid of this bootloop. any ideas ? thanks
PD: id prefer not flashing a stock rom with odin nor restoring back to my other backup if possible
That may be what you'd prefer, but think about it logically given what you've already tried/what hasn't worked. You don't have any other option.
Am confused..
Is the OP trying to restore 4.0.4 or is he already on it?

Since solving the bootloop is more important now, I suggest you do what MistahBungle said..
Flash a stock JB firmware via Odin, then if bootloop is overcome, you can root it and restore your JB backup.

And how do i install the RoM?
Which kernal is needed? how i do this root with the kernal?
Can someone explain me all the steps please?

Read the relevant thread ? The instructions for that particular rom couldn't be clearer; they're even in large/bold font. Nobody here is going to regurgitate these steps when they're already in the thread.
As to your other questions, the answers are also in the thread. If you want to use the rom, it's up to you to do the reading/learning, nobody here is going to hold it for you & shake it when you're done

Bro if i wasnt read it i would ask here... think a little bit.
Nothing there for hebrew and align text to right language.
The insturcations are really poor since its my first rom installation i would like to get more information instead
Wipe Cache
Wipe indvlaink
and more...
Any help please?
The instructions are poor ? You're ****ting me ?! They couldn't be more clear. And re: your other questions about language/text alignment, you've read every post in the thread (as opposed to simply doing a search, which won't give you the info you need because XDA search is crap) have you ? (I don't believe you)
Why not make a nandroid backup, flash the ReVolt ROM and see for urself what features it has or hasnt got?
If ur unhappy, do a nandroid restore.

First, are you rooted? If yes, which method? If no, search for "how to root <your phone>"
Then i recommend reading the sticky thread in this sub-forum "New here? READ THIS THREAD FIRST. What Is Recovery & Download Mode?"
Other things i recommend is watching rooting guides in youtube, preferrably from zedomax.
Now go to revolt thread again and you, hopefully will know the basic stuff which is written right there inorder to flash the ROM.
As MistahBungle has said, the thread contains relevant information for a proper installation of the ROM.
Even if it doesn't say about the hebrew text you could try it for yourself and find out.

U don't need to root a custom ROM mate, because it already is.
And custom ROMs come with their own kernels, so u don't need to flash another (unless u specifically require a different kernel).

I tried Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.32 on flashing rom. For now im able to flash rom from ANDROID ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT section. I noticed those scripts dont have ASSERTS.
But ROMs from ANDROID DEVELOPMENT has ASSERTS, even editing i can not flash...
Can you suggest a kernel which is suitable for problem.
What is your current rom.? Chameleon OS rom (4.2.2) or Chameleon 3.0.3 (4.1.2 hybrid). Are u sure your kernel is dori and not the stock from your rom. Sorry if I ask obvious but just checking. Maybe try flashing philz kernel and the rom. Read up first. I am sort of a noob so don't want to mess up your phone. Good luck.
