Hello! I have nandroid backup for CDMA Tab. Is there any way to convert it to file format flashable by Odin or Heimdall? CDMA Tab owners, this can give us working bootloaders, etc.
Sorry, i'm on Tablet and i do not have links but if you go to Xda Chef Central forum, you can download dsxda kitchen and easy extracy it (this is the easy way)

Will try that, thank you! Not sure if it'll work for tab though, as it's not listed.
Wait, i misunderstood what you meant.
Actually dsxda kitchen works fine with gt nandroid backup but you you cannot convert it to heimdall or odin format, anyway you can extract it and build a cwm build.
Sorry for the mistake.

Try this you can restore a nandroid backup through adb fastboot.

Perhaps noob question, but i want to take a look at system files (button-backlight for instance) and play/edit them. But I don't have a clue how to do that.
I'm using root explorer and super manager.
I'm having root and am able to get adb shell (learned myself some adb commands
Thanks!

do a roto backup first.....
Thx, a recovery backup and titanium backup isn't enough? I'll look the roto backup up, and then?

Is it possible to change the functionality of button backlight, like in froyo?
Dip7's gingerbread rom has it.
But that rom doesn't work for me (asian)
So i would like to try it myself, but i don't no what i need to edit system files....

I sure wish you would elaborate. I've got Frito 2.2, rooted with clockwork and titanium backup.
For the life of me, with all the updates, lingo and quick replies I can't determine what zip or tar or modded bootloaders etc to use.
It'd be nice for a quick how-to for what KI2 IF offering.
Get the I897 GB bootloaders(KF1)
Download mode, then flash those.
Next you will boot into recovery, delete all user data.
Then download the tar file(KI2) and extract using the password
sampro.pl
Put what's in the folder into the Odin PDA slot and flash.
I will help you root when you get that far.
Elaborate enough?

Yes, I suggest you find a guide that one of your modorators has put their time into to help people like you. Please next time look a little harder and read.

Of course. Rooting is the first step to make any modifications to your phone. What stock version are you currently on?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I can't say you need to be rooted, but it is needed for certain backup utilities like Titanium Backup. Otherwise, all you need is CWM

I suppose I misspoke. Root is not required, but is greatly helpful, and I'd suggest obtaining it first.
Sent from my glitched ICS Captivate using XDA App
I would say , root is highly recommended. But I think I seen a tutorial somewhere about flashing clockworkmod recovery on a stock unrooted captivate, or flashing a modded 3e Recovery to flash unsigned zip packages. I will try to find the link for you. But to backup all your apps and data, you will need root.

There are methods to root gingerbread, but they tend to be more involved then earlier versions of android. I correct my earlier statement that root is necessary. I'd highly suggest it if you want to back up apps etc, but it isn't required. I'd suggest downgrading to 2.1 or 2.2 and use the superoneclick utility. Supposedly this tool works on gingerbread but I haven't had any luck with it.

The easiest way is probably to flash Corn kernel, because you get the option to root in CWM. And you will have corn kernel, so it will also be easy to flash from there
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
If you want to flash a custom roms, flash back to stock, then flash a custom kernel via Odin, reboot to system, put the rom on root of sd card, reboot to cwm, do a nandroid backup, wipe data/factory reset, then flash zip from sd card. That's the basic of flashing. Search around in the captivate section and you will find your answers. There are so many topics about flashing roms. Most of the time the rom dev, posts detailed instructions on flashing his/hers rom from start to finish.
Almost every custom rom comes pre-rooted. No need to root once you flash the custom rom.
Also, if you want to save your contacts, you should do so before you flash back to stock, or before you flash the custom rom. If you want to backup all of your apps, then you will need to be rooted, and have titanium backup installed from the market.

Hello,
first of all, I am a total xda-noob (as told by the video) and my deeper Android knowledge is quite small.
Well, I'm seriouly considering to put the Cyanogen mod on my phone and now I have a question about going back to the stock ROM. I've made a backup of the stock ROM using Clockworkmod Recovery and this made seven files which can be seen in the added image. Now I'm wondering how I can go back to the stock ROM if CM doesn't fit me. I know I have to restore the backup in recovery mode but I think I'm right if I say this isn't enough. Can someone tell what to do exactly, as I am very cautionous. Or are there other ways to flash my stock ROM? Thanks in advance! MY CURRENT ANDROID VERSION IS GINGERBREAD 2.3.5
P.S. If this is already answered in another thread or if this placed wrongly, please tell me and I apologize for that.
UPDATE
After some searching I found this small tutorial which fitted my expectations. It said that it can indeed simply be done by restoring it in recovery mode by simply selecting the backup folder. Can someone comfirm this?
Almost right.
Cyanogenmod roms use a different format for the system, called 'ext4'. Stock roms use 'rfs' format.
Before restoring you have to convert to rfs. The easy way to do this is flashing a stock firmware with odin and your phone connected to the pc.
Quick guidelines to restore stock backup:
-flash a stock firmware through odin
-root
-flash cwm through recovery
-restore your backup
-you'll have everything exactly the same way you had it when creating the backup.
If you don't get any of the steps, read through the forum, specially the stickies (you wouldn't have opened this thread if you did so in the first place).

Thank you for answering. About everything is clear now and I understand what I'll have to do. I now understand there is indeed a difference between restoring and flashing a ROM. I've found an online guide which tells me how to use Odin. Only one more question: before using Odin, do I have to factory reset and clear cache partion? I think I do but I'm not quite sure. And if I do this before using Odin, will my phone even be able to boot in recovery mode/download mode? Thanks in advance!

Are you mental or just plain sadistic? Telling new ace users to try Rom Manager?
ROM MANAGER WILL BRICK YOUR ACE.
Only under some very specific conditions rom manager works in the ace, if you don't know them, stay away from this app.
