Hi guys,
I have downloaded ALL WWE roms from shipped roms and tried to install one on my WF to make it back to factory'ish.
What I really wanted was the '3' network rom to flash with to get back planet 3 etc.
Whichever I try to install, they ALL fail with a message incorrect rom.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to get the right rom??.
Thanks Scotty
I have a link for a working 3 nandroid backup you can use. I cant get it right now though as i am getting a database error on the forum were the link is. as soon as i can get the link i will post it here for you.
Thanks. That would be great!.
Scotty.
Heres the link.
Just use it as a normal nan backup, dump it into clockworkmod/backup on your sdcard and restore it.

Today is the day, when i was ready to take the plunge into updating my rom to Evaluation 2. I wanted to upgrade my stock rom and see how my HTC would be like.
Now after some research, i found the installation package specifically for VIVA and instruction were quite simple. i.e. copy paste the .nbh file into the installation package folder and click on the update utility. (I downloaded the installation package 7. zip for this )
Well i thought it would be as simple as people have wrote but things didn't go out as planned. As soon as i did the above process and clicked the update utility. My phone started to go into the bootloader mode i could see the progress bar till 3% update... Than suddenly the phone LCD would switch off and the update utility informed me the the rom is corrupted... I thought i might have had the bad rom.. Let me download some thing else.. I downloaded 6.5 Rom from other source still the same issue.. Rom corrupted...
Am i doing something wrong.. Please help.
Did you install Hard-SPL? This little software unlocks your device to install custom ROMs.
Find more info, and download instructions here:

After you install this, try to install your ROM and it should work well.
Good luck..

I have a captivate i896 and i ran into some problem flashing cognition onto my phone. So now all I can do is use odin to flash the stock i897 rom onto my device.
The problem with this is and the cognition roms are that I have to mobile data connection (but i have voice) on these roms. I cant access 2g/3g data, does anyone know how to fix this?
But my main question is how to restore the stock i896 rom back onto my device.
When I use rom manager to try to flash the stock rom found on this page (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I896) it just doesnt work. Maybe im going something wrong, but I cant seem to get it to work.
That file is not a rom, its a backup that you need to restore with rom manager. Copy it to your sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/rogers_stock directory and restore it with rom manager.
If you want the actual rom get this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BD2EF4WF

thanks so much
Ok so i tried flashing this rom
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=03X7E4UW
which is suppose to be the stock rogers captivate rom with rom manager.
However when i do so, after selecting the .zip file in cwm it gets up to "installing update..." with a empty status bar at the bottom.
I left it there for about 30 minutes and it didnt change.
Can anyone help me get back to stock i896!

Read my post above, you need copy the images to the sdcard and restore them, not install the zip file.
I'm really interested to know if those backups and stock roms actually restore you to stock. The first phone I had got soft bricked when I tried to restore the backups I had made from by own phone. So if this works for anyone I'd be really interested to hear about it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA App
You could also try using Heimdall, new Open-Source Flashing Software and this dump generated from stock Rogers phone.
I haven't seen any reports of tests on Captivate yet, but it seems to work well on other Galaxies. Check Heimdall thread for more info, and if it works well for you, please report to this thread. Good luck!
Hi sorry this may sound dumb
I rooted my Nexus One running 2.2.1 using super one click root...I flashed recovery image using ROM manager..did a nandroid backup..Went on to recovery and flashed CyanogenMod 6.1.1....I found no Google Apps in it...Then i tried coming back to the stock rom by doing a nandroid restore but it fails telling md5 check failed..I already had a backup image of my phone with android 2.2 and was able to restore it....My question is
1)How do i install Google Apps on Cyanogen and get all my contacts back and
2)How do i make a proper backup so that wen i try restoring my stock it does not show the same error......
Now my phone is running android 2.2.1 with stock rom

Maybe get a better SD card? Your Nandroid shouldn't have been corrupted. Just try doing another one and see if it works. You could just be very unlucky, why haven't you tried making another nandroid and testing? That seems like the only logical next step, see if the problem repeats.
Can some explain to me, what is MD5 when working with Nandroid. In the last month all of a sudden I can't flash my backups (5 different roms) anymore.
I keep getting the following message: MD5 mismatch.
Running ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1, I know I should update but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Course it's broke now.
I do change the names of backups so I know which rom is which & I do reformat the date.
Nothing on the phone has changed, radio's the same, etc. Only thing I do is flash different roms. Last 1 was BeatMod's Gingerbread. Wanted to go back to HTCClay's Superfast 1.3RU, for the speed, but got the MD5 mismatch message, which comes up no matter which backup I try to reinstall.
What's going on ?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Been looking all over but can find no references pertaining to MD5. Can someone please enlighten me.
Thanks
Never mind, found a pretty informative page if anyone else is interested.

I've got some reading to do.
Hello,
Back in 2010, two months after buy my SGS, i updated from Android 2.1 to 2.2 using Kies.
I didnt lost any data in the process. But before i created a ROM image using ROM Manager.
But after the update i realised that my phone was now running recovery 3e, and when i tried to create a new backup i couldnt.
After that i just installed a tool named z4mod to convert the file system in order to incrase the performance of the phone.
And its running like that till now.
Now all i want to know is whats the simplest way (with minor changes in the phone) to go back to recovery 2e, so i could make a backup with ROM Manager for safety and update the firmware for the last version available in KIES, at least.
I there is a way to change just the recovery thats what im loking for.
Im running: PDA-JPA, Modem-JPP.

Just Save everything (use USB storage mode and copy paste entire SD cards to your PC, so you won't lose anything) Connect with KIES and upgrade to latest Gingerbread ROM, after that just download a semaphore kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 and Flash with Odin, should give you CWM recovery and Root..
Than you can copy back what you need from your PC,
The point is want to create a full backup (not just copying files) before update.
It's impossible?
I found this post: [recovery hack] How to get back recovery 2e
