[Q] Nandroid boot image restore error.

I flashed cm7 ICS port by teamhacksung.. And now trying to restore a nandroid backup but I get error message: failed to restore boot image.. then nothing happens.. Do you know what the problem is? Do i have to tick usb-debugging before attemting to do a nandroid restore?
Or is it not possible to go from CM7 build to a stock backup ( JVT ) ?

i think you need to flash stock jvt, then semaphore kernel, then restore

Can some1 confirm this ?

sI think is due to the fact that ICS has a new version of recovery... So, you have to flash a GB rom to restor your backup

[Q] KERNEL Backup/Restore.

Hello,
I need to know before install Overcome & CWM if it's possible to backup my stock KERNEL. Currently i have 2.6.36.3 kernel.
I think that is better to restore with the original kernel if need to use tha warranty one day ?
So is it possible to backup or download the stock KERNEL.
Thanks a lot for your help.

before you do anything get a nandroid backup and save that original nandroid backup.
Nandroid Backups are a full ROM backup, that means:
Radios
ROMs
Kernels
User Data
Trying to claim a warranty after you violate the terms and services isn't the most honest thing to but if you intent to cheat the warranty system that just hold on to your backup. A nandroid backs up everything

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. For the warranty I am okay with you regarding the honesty.
About the Nandroid ROM backup, i read somewhere that full backup must be done but it backup all except the Kernel !
I am little bit lost :
1/ The KERNEL Backup can be done with Nandroid backup ?
2/ Can we make Nandroid backup with stock ROM & stock Kernel (fresh TAB) ?
3/ The CWM is it a Kernel ?
Thanks a lot.

CWM stands for clockwordmod, its a custom recovery. You need a custom recovery before you can start changing things about your tablet. It is Not a kernel. Think of a car. A kernel is like eh engine, the recovery is like a toolbox. Its more complicated but thats the idea. The stock recovery is too limited, which is why we have custom ones
When you do a nandroid back up it backs up everything. When you do a nandroid back it backs up the kernel as well as the ROM all of your settings and app data. All in one.
If you want a stock nandroid Do it first thing after you have a custom recovery. A nandroid is saved in the clockwordmod folder. Then save that file somewhere safe. Flash drive computer t whatever.
Hope this helps

Here is the Flashable zip for backup your Old recovery and kernel
First, You need root
From your stock recovery, Flash backupkernelrecovery.zip.
Approximately 30 seconds, backup process will make a folder "mybackups" in your SD card,
Reboot as normal, and Open "My Files" and see folder "mybackups"..
You'll find 2 file recovery.img(your stock recovery) and boot.img (stock kernel)
For Restore your recovery.img
download overcome cwm from alterbridge86 thread, unzip the file and replace recovery.img from that files with yours..zip again and flash from recovery, reboot and you got your old stock recovery..
Warning: Only restore Stock recovery after nandroid Restore done..with same firmware
Tested on my P7300 and works..

Hello All
Thanks a lot for your help.
I'm now on overcome 2.2.0 with Motley Kernel.
I just done a Nandroid Backup before. I also found on Net a file to restore all, Stock rom & Kernel.
Thanks again.

When restoring with cwm

When you restore a backup with cwm do you get all your apps back?
And what exactly does it restore?
The only time i tried the restore function was when i flashed ics but it was a gb backup and i got an error .so help me please

If u want to restore a gb. backup when on ics, u need to flash gb. Kernel. then u reboot directly into recovery(advanced/reboot recovery) and restore your backup.
And yes all your apps and settings will also be restored.

thank you..putting a gb kernel wont brake the phone?

No, bootloader on i9000 ics roms is ginger. And you don't have to wipe anything.
if u know witch ginger kernel u were running,flash that kernel and restore your backup
But DON'T boot up your phone. Just reboot into recovery from recovery and then restore your backup from the ginger kernel.

Can you backup custom roms? Because im having trouble.
Yesterday i updated from dark knight v3 rom to v5.5 and backed up the rom through recovery mode because rom manager wouldnt work (kept getting the android guy on its back with an exclamation mark)
I decided to go back to v3. I booted into recovery, wiped date/cache then restored my backup rom. When it finished, it stuck at the boot animation for 30 minutes. I pulled the battery and tried to boot into recovery but it just kept rebooting until i took my fingers off the up+power the proceeded to animatiin where it would just hang..... did i do something wrong?

[Q] Need to do a Nandroid Restore, what do I need to do?

I need to a Nandroid Restore on my phone. It's currently running CM9RC2 with Semaphore ICS 1.3 and CWM6. The backup was taken from a Gingerbread 2.3.6 stock ROM (although I can't remember which exactly) with Semaphore 2.7.4 and CWM5
So what do I need to do to successfully restore without messing anything up? Do I need to reflash back to stock ROM, or can I just run the restore as it is and it'll put everything back to how it was?

look in My Guides and Manuals about nandroid

You can't use different CWM to restore your nand I would suggest Odin back to stock re-root and make sure you add the same CWM recovery so you can update to 2.3.6 then after boot go back in recovery wipe and all the usual and then restore your back up

Hurray, managed to sort everything out and my phone is back to exactly how it was before I installed CM9.
Thanks for the help guys

help me, I am dying..

this is my post before in other thread, from this you can know my problem:
help me..
sorry for my english,
I am upgrading from gb to jb(ultimate rom)
but in jb there is no root. now i want to go back to gb.
I have nandroid backup in gb, before I root it using dr.Ketan's guide.
using this:
CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5
as I know to restore the nandroid, I need to use same cwm, because in ultimate rom using cwm6, but in gb I am using cwm5.
what I need to be help is I forgot the cwm5 version, please anybbody know the version?
the second things I confuse is, how do I root the ultimate jb rom?
thanks in advance..
*update:
i have read many post in xda and many user also face the same problem.
the conclusion I get it is the philz touch cwm6 that is making the error, the problem now is, there is new update philz touch but I cannot flash it, because when flashing they stuck before complete.
*update:
I am stuck in jb rom.
this is what I am going to do.
flash using dr ketan methode, using InitialCFRootFlasher, flash using usb to gb kernel(CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5). hope get the cwm5. then restore my gb nandroid backup(if still possible to boot to cwm5).
hope it is safe.this is my last bet.
maybe tomorrow I will do it.
thanks for the help..
I am stuck in cwm6 because cannot "unmounting system".
now, what i want to do first is restore nandroid backup, only this the question:
can I restore GB nandroid backup cwm5 from JB cwm6?
*update:
if cannot restore GB nandroid backup cwm5 from JB cwm6.
how do I install cwm5 without odin?, also cannot flash directly from cwm6 because stuck in cwm6 because cannot "unmounting system"
I am now in cwm6 jb ultimate rom, my backup is GB nandroid cwm5.

Just flash a stock gb rom via odin.. Get the rom in sammobile.com, start fresh its always the best option
Tapatalking on my n7000

That is a bit too many problems, just go back to stock GB using PC Odin, root and then flash whichever ROM you want.

as advised, charge your battery fully, get into download mode and flash a GB rom......after flash is successful and your mobile is ready for set -up, get into GB stock recovery and wipe data and cache....reboot into rom. root it by zergrush method or ask here how to....
dont play around with CF root kernels ( for ics ) for nandroid restore etc etc..... till your phone is completely stabilised.

thanks everybody...
successfully flash to GB with yellow triangle
