After i updated my stock firmware galaxy s to JM1 using KIES i keep getting force closes from widgetsm, process.acore and samsung touchwiz. This makes my device unusable because i can't install rom manager and go back to my nandroid backup. If it isn't possible to go back to my back up how can i get back to my previous rom or flash another one. This is really anoying because i can't do anything with my device at the moment
I have also tried to restore a back up but there's no nandroid folder on my sdcard but i'm sure i've done the backup succesfully. is there a way to get into clockwork recovery?
Please help
Would it work to replace touchwiz with launcherpro if so how should i do that?

1. How do I get rid of clockwork mod recovery and go back to bone stock on my N1?
2. Also, I have root explorer but I have no Idea what I'm looking at. Has clockwork put any backups on the internal storage? If so how many and how much room is this taking up?
I was wondering the same thing and then I came upon this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770792&page=2" basically if you have the Rom Manager app installed all you have to do is download a Stock Nexus One Rom Like FRF91 and restore with that. According to the original poster Melwan :-
"For future reference, if you want to restore your phone while having no issues accessing it, just get Rom Manager. Use it to download and install a stock unrooted Froyo rom (just make sure to select wipe data and do not select the rooting options).
Very easy to restore. The passimg method comes in very handy if you cannot even boot into the OS."
I followed the instructions above and went back from Cyanogen RC3 to Stock Nexus FRF91 in just a few minutes.
I've searched the forums but haven't been able to find an answer to this question. I've found how to backup and such with titanium and clockwork but what I haven't been able to figure out is if there is a way to make an exact image of my phone as is, that could be restored with something like odin. I've backed up using clockwork and used the on phone restore process, but what if that doesn't work Is it possible to use that backup somehow to restore my phone with odin? Are there instructions for doing this?
I know I can download a ROM and restore using odin, but I would like to be able to restore to my own rom. I have a perfectly working GPS etc. on my phone as is and before trying the Froyo release I would like to make sure I can bring it back exactly to where it is now if things go bad.
Thanks
I'm not sure if you can, but doing a nandroid backup, copying it to your computer, copying back and restoring with rom manager if things go sour?
I wanted to restored my Nexus One to Factory.
Sick of getting 2.2.1 pushed on my N1 and have it fail.
I recovery mode it says restore to factory but even this did not work it did not completely restore everything.
The Clockwork recovery partition stayed.
So when Google want to push 2.2.1 ...... it fails still.
You can not completely wipe your phone ???
Please did not tell me i need to adp or whatever it is called push anything because I really do not want to go through that.
You mean you want to revert back to stock rom and recovery? Search in the development section, there is a thread with the file you need.
Ok I have rooted my captivate and un-installed at&t's crappy software and have clockwork recovery installed. 1st question is did Clockwork make a back-up already of my stock rom when I installed it and labeled it "update.zip"? That's what it seems like when i read the directions for it. I made a backup while i was in clockwork recovery just in case. So if i want to restore my phone back to normal do I start clockwork and install that "update.zip" file or the backup I made?
2nd question is if I want to un-root the phone do I just run the one-click unroot option and it brings everything back to normal? Or do i have reinstall all of at&t's crapware then unroot so things do not get messed up? If anyone can help this would be great. Thanks, Jesse

The update.zip is actually the Clockwork Mod Recovery, this is where you have the option to restore your backup, also know as Nandroid. You may need to click on reinstall packages more than once and you will then see the menu for ClockworkMod Recovery. You will find your backup there, just choose backup and restore, you can then choose restore, and you will see the backup you created. You can also restore your backup through the ROM Manager app. Only your Rom is backed up and all of your setting but not the kernel.
To totally restore should you ever use a mod that changes your kernel you should use Odin one click to restore to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 This will remove rooting and restore the AT&T bloatware and set the phone back to how it was out of the box, don't worry about rooting because once you restore your backup ROM you will regain root.
Thanks for the help! Is there a mac version of that odin software to get back to stock firmware? Also is the stock firmware built into that application or do I need to download it from somewhere and place it on my phone through the computer?

It's built in, this version has everything you need it is one click. I don't use Mac but I do know there is a program you can run within Mac to use windows. Head to to Cognition IRC chat and ask the guys there. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=Cognition
Hi all:
I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have Cyanogen 7 on my phone and had it for a while. But I'm having some issues with it (every day some apps uninstall themselves and when I go back to the market place it says it's not compatible with my device) and I'd like to go back to the stock rom. I had a backup but for somereason it's not on my SD card anymore.
I downloaded the RUU from the HTC web site but no matter what I do I can't get it to find my phone. I get the USB 170 error. I even installed HTC sync and it doesn't detect my phone.
Is there any other method to get it back to stock? A pre-setup rom I can download and install through Rom Manager perhaps?

Just go to Liquid Sense ROM instead...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856099
you can update your PRL there and then Just flash whatever ROM you want with a clean slate...
But you'll need to do more than just factory reset.
From recovery...
Format everything except SD card under mounts and storage
then do the regular factory reset and wipes.
Then erase all ur old restores if they are giving you trouble
uninstall and reinstall ROM manager and reflash the top tab, clockmod recovery
then u should be good to go on flashing whatever ROM you want... but if youre using titanium backup... becareful cuz whatever issue your having may follow you if you do any sort of titanium backup
good luck
if not then unroot with this
