Basically, I backuped my rom then installed Darkys Steel Edition v2.2
I wanted to revert back to my old rom so i tried restoring from my backup but now it doesn't boot past the first samsung screen and now I can't access recovery or download mode, I could before though.
Any help?

Hi,
I recently flashed a new rom (ultimate galaxy s v.7) from xda, and I flashed it via clockwork.
clockwork installed it and I rebooted, and it seemed to hang on the lockscreen for an abnormally long amount of time.
when i take the battery out and try to boot into recovery mode, it flashes to black then shows the galaxy s boot again.
previous to flashing this rom i have cleared the cache and all data on the phone. i have a nandroid backup so if i could get back to clockwork recovery this would be helpful.
also previous to flashing this rom i had a 3 UK rom which i installed by accident via kies, running 2.1...this rom seemed to be quite resistant to installing another rom from kies.
help would be MUCH appreciated...
thanks in advance
so recovery mode isnt an option then ?
What about Download mode ?
Hi,
Download mode worked before.
I have now managed by some miracle to get into recovery mode and now have gained options about a speedmod universal lagfix.
Is this associated with clockwork / ultimate 7.0 rom / a sign that the rom has installed in some form, and should i reboot, or should i now do a nandroid back to the rom i had before?
I believe speedmod uses CWM, so you can just do the rollback to your previous rom

however would it be safe to reboot, as i'm currently in recovery mode and considering to do a nandroid OR alternatively reboot and see if the new rom starts up..
well u cant leave it in recovery mode forever lol, reboot it, if it doesnt come on, try recovery mode again or just flash another ROM thru ODIN
ok. how long do you think is a reasonable time to wait before concluding that the rom doesn't work and I should nandroid back to my old rom...?
Half an hour gives plenty of time .
jje
what would be the reason that it hangs on the galaxy s bootscreen?
could be anything.... installing process not completed properly. best to just re flash .

do you mean recover via nandroid or reflash the same rom, then leave it?
choice is yours, ive never restored using nandroid so dunno what its like. but try it first, if no success re flash using odin. u will lose all your data
Hi All,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S i9000M that I managed to softbrick (can't boot past logo). It's running Eclair 2.1, unlocked and rooted with voodoo lagfix beta 4. I can still boot in ClockworkMod Recovery and Download mode.
I managed to backup using the option in cwm before softbrick. Question is, can I use any kind of software such as Odin to retrieve what I backed up with cwm before I flash a new ROM and loose all my music, apps, photos, etc? Thank you kindly.

Anyone?? Simple question: how do l retrieve what I backed up with cwm?
Ok, in short I can't restore my rom after flashing Cyanogenmod 7 RC1. If I try to recover the phone remain locked in recovery mode.
That's the full story anyway:
Had a Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3 (Italy) rooted with CF-root
Made a backup with clockworkmod (no problem)
Made data/app backup with titanium backup (no problem)
Flashed Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 (no problem)
Restore Titaniun backup, have all my app back but had the first problem. None of my data has been restored, contacts, sms, calls... nothing. Why I ask?
Found that I can't access my sd card, read about the downgrade to froyo. Ok, time to restore to my original rom.
Made a restore of my nandroid backup, via rom manager.
BANG, phone hang up at boot on Galaxy S initial logo.
Ok, don't panic, restored an Eclair 2.1-u1 Rom via odin/download mode. Build XWJM7, Base XXJM3 (I read Flashing Eclair is safer)
Tried to update Android via Kies, but I get a message that my version cannot be upgraded.
Rooted Eclair via oneclickroot, installed rom manager/clockworkmod and tried again to restore my rom backup.
The restore seems to go Ok but the phone is stucked in recovery mode (2e). I get the Galaxy S logo for a few second, then logo disappear and reappear an phone go in recovery mode saying:
installing multi-csc
can't access to /system/csc/itv/system/
successfully applied multi-csc.
There is no way to go on, if I choose update.zip, phone go to clockworkmod recovery. Tried to restore an older backup, same result.
Now I'm again on Eclair.
So is there a way to have my original rom back via clockworkmod? Or I have to flash original CSC/MODEM/CODE via odin?
Thanks for helping.
I think your best choice is to flash from odin in download mode with a clean stock rom with re-partition to start again on a good base.
I made some other test.
Extracted the .img from cwm backup. The boot.img file is corrupted on both backup, file are identical so I though there's a problem backing up bootloader on my phone with cwm.
So I tried to recover all but boot. When I reboot (from eclair, cwm 2.5.1.2) in recovery mode I always get to android recovery 2e. As before if I select update.zip (and update is not present) system get me to cwm recovery. I select advanced restore and system ecc. but get the same problem the before: I get stucked in android recovery.
So again I flash via odin this time to gingerbread, rooted with cf-root, launch cwm manager tried for the last time to recover my damned backup.
And UA-TA! has my phone restored.
Any one has I idea why I was able to restore my rom (and app/data) only AFTER I restored my rom in another way?
I also made backup but it was giving error when i try to restor it

Hi guys
Recently I installed CM10 jelly bean coming from CM9, everything worked well untill i realised that I didnt do a back up for my apps.
I had done a nandroid back up before coming to CM10, so i decided to go back to cm9 and get my apps back. This came up with an error.
So i thought it didnt work because i was on cm10, i downloaded cm9 again and installed it.
Nandroid back up worked, but now phone will not turn on samsung galaxy s screen just flashes.
I cant get into recovery only download.
Please help!
Hey
No issues...just downgrade to 2.3.6 using odin (Link Given Below) & root it..
Then flash CM9..reboot..
after the first boot goto CWM using the 3-button combo and restore from your nandroid backup..
Done..
Before flashing stock rom, download the newest Semaphore kernel and flash it using Odin (only PDA file, repartition NOT ticked). It may boot properly or at least it will get you to CWM

SOS!
Was running the note on ParanoidAndroid v 0.5. Everything was fine. I had gotten PA v0.5 by flashing stock GB, used CF-Root with CWM to root the phone and get custom recovery. After this flashed PA 0.5 onto the Note. No kernels etc have been changed. Before flashing PA 0.5 i had taken a nandroid backup of the stock rooted GB with CWM recovery.
Fast forward to today..
I wanted to take something off my old nandroid backup so i rebooted into recovery took a backup of the current setup.. Backup successful.. After this i rebooted into recovery and restored the old nandroid backup.. This was also successful.. I booted into the phone, exported the data that i wanted and used the restore option available in the CWM recovery application that comes as part of the CF-Root package.. The phone rebooted into recovery.. Was at verfiying MD5 stage.. And then suddenly everything goes blank and the phone went into a boot loop.. It just stays at the screen where It says Galaxy Note GT-N7000.. Tried rebooting into download/recovery etc.. Nothing works.. Just coming back to the same splash screen..
I have not wiped the note on any unsafe kernel.. I'm sure about that.. Please help!:crying:
Try to boot into stock recovery and use pc-odin to flash a stock GB
Try to get in download mode....and please flash gb rom.
I would suggest pre-rooted gb rom.
And if you cant get in download mode or in recovery mode....then it is soft brick.....
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
actually try wipingcache and dalvik first from safe kernel recovery.
after that if the nandroid you restore is ics and kernel is cm or aokp you need to flash an ics kernel inbetween.
Make sure to fkash when restoring pa you have same kernel you made nandroid with.
First things first, thanks to all of you for your replies.. I backtracked on my steps and i had done *some* mistake with the steps that i followed..
People who want to know the result: Problem solved! Yay!
Here's what i had done..
I went back to GB nandroid backup from a 5.5.x.x CWM based recovery (worked fine - as expected)
The GB nandroid backup had a 5.3.x.x CWM based recovery. So my mistake was trying to restore a backup, which was taken with a newer CWM based recovery, using the older 5.3.x.x recovery.. This is where it failed..
Luckily i somehow got into download mode, flashed stock GB and rooted it using the zergrush exploit, flashed CF-Root kernel with a CWM based recovery, booted into it, flashed PA v0.5.
Then after this, rebooted into recovery of PA v0.5 and restored the nandroid backup of PA v0.5..
Voila! It worked :victory:
