Hey guys, sorry for the question it's probably stupid but I'm new to all of this.So, put briefly I made a nandroid backup,wiped cache and did a factory reset, changed my ROM to CM7 RC1 and now what do I do to get my contacts,applications and stuff back to the phone ? Do I load the nandroid backup from recovery mode or I use the LG PC Suite sync option ?
Thanks in advance and sorry once again.
If You do a nandroid u'll be right back where You started
Nandroid is like an image of Your phone with ALL info,software,tweaks,SMS etc etc...
If You have it backed up with LG sync i would use that..
You should also consider getting an google account at least so You can backup all Your contacts (and if you want mail,and calander) online...
But dont do a nandroid unless u want to go back .. .
I have recently flashed the JVS firmware from samsung firmware, and then followed that up with this CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS, flashing via the PDA section in ODIN. My phone has been working perfectly for a few days, no problems at all, until right now when I've gone to restart the phone.. I was having troubles with the market, and I turned my phone off mid-download of an app.. I'm pretty sure it was mid-download and not mid-installation of it..
However, when I turn my phone back on, it'll show the Galaxy S I9000 screen, then go to the next screen with the glowing S, however after that, it just gives a quick, short vibration, and seems to turn off, then do it all over again..
What does this mean? Is there a way I can get out of it without re-flashing the entire firmware? I am still able to get into download mode, but I don't want to lose messages that I have saved on my phone..
Any help is greatly appreciated..

Ok, so I let the phone go for a while (around 10 minutes), of the screens cycling through as mentioned above, but now it seems to have actually found a way into the phone, and has now loaded up properly.. However, I'm still interested in what the problem could be on the phone??
are u using new market app?
its happened to me once and i reflashed whole firmware starting from 2.1 to 2.3.5 lol just to avoid sh*t like that
When I had 2.2 on there, I had the new market app, however after flashing 2.3.5, it had the old market, so I was downloading apps from the old market at the time..
What do you mean you re-flashed whole firmware from 2.1?
Anyone else have any ideas?
Try to wipe factory reset and wipe cache or try to flash rom again

Could be a corruption in the bootloader, if it happens again i would reflash. Otherwise just leave it i guess, maybe it was a one off
It happens pretty much all the time now.. I have reflashed the firmware a couple of times.. And it still seems to happen. What would wiping the cache remove? Will I lose any settings or anything that I have on the phone? I have been restoring backups made using titanium, however just apps and data, not system settings..
If it's the bootloader, is there any way of fixing that?
Thanks
Ah that could be the problem. Sometimes when you restore backup they can conflict and thus cause issues like this...
Try only return the data, that works for me. Get app list from the market and after a backup move to external sd. Format internal sd card. Then do an Odin flash with repartition checked. This is designed to get you back to factory state, so you will loose everything. Make sure your backups are not on your internal sd when you format. Also before you flash i think its a good idea to put a copy of your nandroid backup into the internal sd. Or just use a nandroid backup from when you phone was working fine.
Deleting cache does not delete your settings usually, however when deleting dalvick cache it can take up to 30 mins (max i think) to start you phone, but usually its 5/10 mins.
Yes bootloader can be fixed just find a flashable bootloader with a rom or the directions given. Use search for this
Ok thanks for the tips Talon.. Firstly, this nandroid backup that I keep hearing about.. What exactly is that? Is that the backup that I do through Clockwork Mod Recovery? I'm also unsure how to return just the data to apps? I had a look at Titanium Backup, and the only data recovery option is for system data.. Everything else I think I can handle..
Thanks
Yes nandroid backup is the backup through CWM. You should always do one BEFORE you flash anything on your phone. And keep them in a safe place and leave one in your internal sd card.
You should use titanium backup to backup up a single app at a time, not batch. This way you'll have more files and can choose which apps you want to return, and if you only want to return the data. (I have always done it this way, so i dont know if you can pick the apps you want to return if you do backup via batch.). Use the other app i suggested to keep the market links, so you download the app from market first then you install the data once its there.
I suggest you don't return any apps at first see how it goes, then add either a couple or one at a time, again only the app data. (Once you backuo the app individually, flash then, TB, backup/restore press on the app, restore, then pick data only...) If you go from froyo to GB i think you cant do it)
Thank you very much for your reply Talon. I am currently on JVS, and plan to re-flash this exact same firmware, which is the stock firmware, nothing custom..
As for what you've written, it's going to take me a few reads before I can get my head around it, but I just wanted to say thankyou for a quick and detailed reply. I think I might just bite the bullet and figure out which apps I actually use, and just work with them for now..
I'll post back soon hopefully with results.
After getting very frustrated with the phone, I've finally re-flashed back to a seemingly stock situation. Phone is running great, and all problems seem to be gone. Slowly re-downloading apps from the market as I feel that I need them, so I hopefully won't get any interference from the old backups I had..
One more question, how do you make your backups? If you say you don't use the batch mode in Titanium? I can't see any other way that's as easy..
Thanks for your help Talon.
As i said before, backup/restore click on the app you want to back up, and click backup. When you want to restore it, back to the menu, click on the app, click restore, then pick data only longer but safer
Change the location of TB to your exsd if you haven't already, then go to setting find, and it will make it default location
Ahk.. Sounds very time consuming.. lol..
Phone is running like a champ now . Thanks
Hi all
After smashing the screen on my Note i am getting a new one on the insurance, well i am when they decide to deliver it!!!
just want to know if it will be ok to root and restore my backup from the old phone?
i was running criskelo v9.1 at the time with speedmod kernal i think
big time
Are you talking nandroid restore? If so choose advanced restore and restore system and data only this will restore the rom and your apps anything else might cause issues, like restoring old imei and stuff.
Or you could extract certain things from the nandroid using titanium backup or similar app
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
i was using cwm for my backs/restores before and i desperately need my notes and phones off the old backup.
wouldnt the imei coarse problems?
you will get all your notes back with the data restore.
It might be safe to restore the whole nandroid but i wouldnt advise it, Personally ive never tried so hopefully someone who has can confirm ?
your imei from your old not wont replace the new one, But it could modify it and leave you with the samsung generic one.
thanks for the help, hopefully i should have the phone by saturday and get testing....
Hello
I have CM 7 installed, but I want to go back to the stock rom, because the power button is (almost) broken and I want to send it to LG with warranty. But now I notice that the USB data cable doesn't work; charge only. I don't know why this is; maybe because CM 10 or so, but anyway I can't return to the stock rom. I haven't got a Nandroid backup, and when I searched for it online I couldn't find it. Is there a way to return to the stock rom without USB? Or can anyone upload a Nandroid backup?
Thanks.

EDIT: Here is a Nandroid backup, but I can't download it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554890
EDIT2: I've connetced adb over wifi now, is there a way to update over wifi?
EDIT3: It's not necessary any more, because the repair costs are higher than the costs for a new one. Now I'm going to repair it on my own, maybe it breaks, maybe not, I don't care any more.
I got the dreaded boot loop after having either 1.0 or 1.1 extreme on it for what feels like almost a year now. I was able to make a complete backup while in twrp using the freezer method. Here is my question., just received my replacment from tmobile. (they sent me another 505 ugh) I was thinking I would root the new phone than go into twrp and restore my OLD backup then boot in to phone and then run backups for my contacts, mms, database for call restrict list etc. Then backout and put the newer extreme rom on an import my contacts, mms, database stuff. My question is what will happen if the backup I have is a 10h and I install it on a 10n. I can't remember for the life of me what it was, like I said it has been a year almost. I thought about trying to restore some stuff from TB backup using the nandroid but my research states not to to this. I figure loading original and backup with MMS backup and update contact to google etc. then install new rom would be better. Just dont want to hose myself if it is a 10H. anyone know what whould happen? Thanks for all your help in advance. I'm just scared sh**less to hose the refurb they sent.
Dont know exactly, but you may brick it. Proceed carefully. By the way, if you restore remember you CANT restore the EFS folder.
