Nandroid backup with c5 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I would like to try out the new perception, but I really like c5. Does anyone know if I can do a back up in cwm and flash perception, then come back and restore c5? I don't want to do anything that isn't tested yet with the gb bootloaders. Thanks ahead of time.

I flashed continuum 5 then perception2(gb) and restored backup then back to perception2(gb) to then install update... If it is perception 2 then your alright cause they are both gb boitloaders just dont restore a captivate rom

You are using the wrong odin. You are looking for the one that flashes jf6. I think you are using the froyo flasher

Cm7 contacts restore

Yesterday I went from tweaky rom to Cm7, but now all my contacts are gone. I backed them up with Titanium Backup but they don’t show up after a restore. Anyone knows what to do?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I had EXCATLY same problem, and I think you cant restore them, (unless they are on your SIM-card)
Its becouse CM7 is 2.3.4 imo...
Flash 2.3.3 rom and your contacts will come back
Is there an 2.3.3 version of cm(7) that I can use?

Same situation here. Thinking of going back 2.3.3 to export my contacts then back to CM7 and import them. Gonna get my friend to help me with his SGS, might save me some flashings?
Is there anyway like..converting/extract contacts.db?
MYANDROID PROTECTION IS GUD to backup contacts.... i m safe..

How to Unlock SGH-I896 w/ CM7 (latest nightly/stock bootloaders)

Hi,
I need to send my Captivate to a friend out of Canada and need to unlock the device. I'm running the latest CM7 nightly w/ glitch kernel v12 and stock 2.2 bootloaders. Any way to unlock it while on CM7? Or is it necessary to Odin back to stock?
Thanks.

Cant know, you had to be on the stock it came with, not odins stockk
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
There is a Rogers stock Odin image on XDA. I also have my backup efs folder. If I go back to stock rogers would it still not unlock?
Sorry for the stupid question.

Does reflashing CM9 rom rebuild simlink?

Noob question: Does reflashing the rom rebuild the datadata-data/data simlink? Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Did you flash the datafix.zip?!?! Why would you do that it was for ICSSgS
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Just installed chrome beta and was starting to run into memory issues. I was pondering flashing the alternate fix that was just posted in the CM9 thread. I wanted to be able to easily revert if it slowed down my phone. I haven't done anything yet.
Thanks

Don't do it if your on THS ICS, only ICSSGS. And if you flash it again it will rebuild the symlinks...

Thanks.

To answer your original question. Reflashing the rom will restore any symlink. But Demonwav's zip should auto restore, but keep in mind it was made for ICSSGS wich is different.

Are you trying to do it on ICS with CWM? CWM has problems with nandroid backups on official ICS roms.
If it is on ics roms, it's likely you're bricked, but without further info, no idea. And if it is under lpy or lpf, there is a work around if you're up to it but quite advanced.

ICS backup doesn't produce bricks, restore does.

Im on the lpf official but rooted. I tried doing nanroid backup using the "temporary" cwm credits to dr ketan but failed. I dont think im brick coz my phone functions as normal.

Are you using Voodoo OTA Root Keeper?
I heard from some Play Store comment that it might give problems in backups. Try disabling the root protect first if so.
