Papsi's ROM is outdated. Try LOS13.

No. You take a backup of your apps via Titanium Backup, then flash the ROM, restore your apps.

i mean that can i factory reset and then flash it directly or do i have to revert to b330b stock rom first?

I tried to flash my rom to 2.3.3 but since i had it in the wrong folder it wouldnt let me so i restored to my old rom, but now its stuck at the boot screen(it says overstock) and its been like that for a while and im really worried!!! the rom its restoring to is sweethoney the latest version and i did it from clockwork recovery
does anyone know how to get pass the boot screen? im worried to turn my phone off
Sounds to me like you'll need to resort to odin.
You can always try to get into recovery mode first, and flash sweet honey again, then try restoring your backup.
is it just my phone, or when you flash the rom the rom has to be in the INTERNAL sd? i had my new rom on the external and i could find a way to access it =(
before odin, try going back to CWM Recovery and restore you orignal phone system, thats if you backed it up before you done any rom
We'll to you first question flash back to original with Obin and to you second you can only flash a new rom from your internal memory. Read the OP before you flash it tell you were to put it. Good Luck

Hey All,
Ok so I have a problem and please excuse the dumb questions as I am new to Motorola (I came from the EVO).My device is rooted and bootstrap recovery installed and I created a backup of my normal setup. I tried to install the Alien ROM (I am not unlocked) and I did a wipe ect. the ROM will boot but I can't get past the touch here Android icon and I get a bunch of force closes.
I turned the phone off, put the wall charger in and I can not get back into recovery by holding the power and volume down to install my nandroid. My phone is stuck.....I can see fastboot but I don't know how to get back into my recovery.
Please help!!!!
Now that I think of it, my backup was on internal and the wipe might have erased the backup and bootstrap.....what the heck do I do now?

It probably didn't erase your backup. You can always use rsdlite and flash cm5.

Thats correct. Flashed ROM and then Flashed Theme

Thats probably where I ran into an issue....as I see it says flash zip then reboot. Then flash theme after.... I am going to try and use RSD lite and CM5. Then go from there.

Thanks MAX, I am so used to the EVO and flashing a rom and theme in the same recovery I didnt think twice about it....Lesson learned.
So I need to use RSD Lite and flash CM5. Then root again, install bootstrap, backup current rom. Then flash Alien, reboot, then flash theme and I should be ok?
Thanks for all of the help everyone, I got it resolved and fixed
Hey
I was on GingerReal1.4, and wanted to try out overclocking on CM7. Made a backup on CWM and then installed CM7, tried, happy and decided to go back.
Now when I try to restore the backup, most of my apps arent being detected and the launcher is back to touchwiz and I can't seem to find superuser also. I assumed this maybe because sd-ext is not being detected. So I tried installing a2sd-gui from my titanium backup, that seems to work and isn't showing me any problem. I also tried reinstalling the kernel, didn't work.
And Ive tried restoring about 5 times till now, same result.
Am I doing something wrong?? Any help would be rly rly awesome...
Thanks

Did you format all partitions in CWM before restoring ?

Tried that, didn't work.
Even apps that were preinstalled on the ROM like ext4manager and Gmail are missing!!!
Thanks a lot guys
Then logically the problem is in that backup.
yea, that's what I'm thinking, though I did not get any errors while doing the backup.
I read about someone else having a similar issue a long tym back in the galaxy s forum, and i dont see any suggestions or solutions there.
Anyway, given up for now, will take care of it some other tym...
Backing up all i got and switching to CM now.
Do let me know if something pop's up and you remember this issue of mine.
Thanks again
No.. The backup is not the problem. I have read somewhere that the problem lies with the bootloader.
When you upgrade to CM 7, it uses the 2.3.7 bootloader. And now you are trying to restore a backup associated with a 2.3.4 bootloader. The restore does not contain the bootloader. Thus you may experience a bootloop.
The only get around is to flash via odin.
Hit thanks if i helped.

The restore does restore boot .
It erases boot before restore and will restore .

What do you mean when you say you cant root anymore because you have CWM? Rooting and CWM are on separate tracks in this case, CWM does not stop you from rooting your phone. Are you saying you dont want to root?
Also, rooting is very simple, just change your kernel to cf-root(to be flashed via CWM, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158197 ) and you get added advantages like ext4, BLN, a2sd support etc.
PS: Read all you can before doing anything
Hi
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500. I have been messing around a lot with custom ROMs. Now I want to do a proper restore to official ICS. I have the Odin flashable package. When I restore it just using this, my tablet does not want to root again on this stock firmware. I looses root as soon as I flash the root package.
What I want to do is do a complete restore of the tablet. I don't really know much about the bootloaders and so on.
Should I get a PIT file and tick re-partition as well as update phone bootloader?
I have restored an old Nandroid backup and did a factory restore on the tablet but there is something wrong with it. Every now and then the tablet just do a random reboot, but not a complete reboot. The screen goes blank and then back on again. Signal gets lost and everything that I was busy with are gone. I use the Wi-Fi hotspot all the time and every time that this happens I have to turn it back on again.
Anyone who can tell me how to do a proper restore of everything on the tablet?
Boot into cwm or twrp recovery, do a full wipe, not including internal storage, then flash stock ICS again.

after the Odin to stock and flashing the root zip... did you try to update the binaries for the super user app you're using...?
Thanks. Will try that tomorow. Why should I not include internal memory?
After flashing stock ICS, the superuser apps did not work at all. It tried to update binary, but kept on giving errors.

Because your important files are there. Unless you don't care about those files or you've backed up in your computer, then you can wipe it. I've seen people wiping their internal memory blindly and then posting "Help, my photos/videos are gone!! Is there any way to recover it???" Which is why I said not to wipe your internal memory.
Regarding the superuser, what error did it give out?

I can't remeber the error that superuser give out.
I have flashed stock ICS now, but when I try to load the update file which I always used to root it, the stock recovery give an error saying unknown path for sdcard(photo included).
I have formatted all the partitions using CWM before reflashing.
This also happened before I started using my old backup again. Do you know why this will happen? Should I try to repartition the device or something?

After flashing stock ICS, you did make sure that it booted well and let it settle first right? You can't use stock recovery to flash things. Flash cwm recovery first then flash the update zip.

Yes, it booted and I logged into gmail and everything. I have loaded cwm and flashed the zip file. Then get the error "root possibly lost. Fix?" Does not matter if I choose yes or no. I don't have root access. Superuser say I must update binary and then when it try to get root access fails.

First, check to see if the su binary is in /system/xbin or not. Download terminal emulator, then type su and see if it works. If it says su not found, it means the su binary is not installed. If so, try flashing the SuperSU zip (https://db.tt/18JKy062) and see if it works.
Edit: OK never mind, I see you solved it.

Okay guys, my phone is not booting up at all.
- I flashed hyperdrive, didn't like it and went to safestrap.
- I factory reseted, and tried to restore my old backup of the stock rom.
- I rebooted the phone, now it won't boot up anymore.
Was the backup corrupted? Now I only have stock recovery since safestrap didn't stick, and no rom, so I can't do anything.
Any way to install safestrap using adb or some sort? Please help me out, I'm in need of a phone

there is a reason why hashcode set up safestrap to keep stock rom safe and why he offers no support to those who wish (at their peril) to flash a custom rom over the stock rom.
I have my rom stock rom intact and have 2 rom slots loaded each with there own custom rom and with a 32gb extsd card, have no issues with memory space.

From this reply it appears that you don't quite know what odin is. I would find out, then use it to fix your phone.
