[Q] ICS Nandroid Restore

Hello,
I have had some issues with a ROM (Extreme ICS) and had to reinstall it.
I backep up everything as Nandroid Backup, because there were several bootloops, everytime stuck etc. and when I restored it, again bootloops.
I restored only "data".
Now, I flashed CM9 and tried to restore only the "data" at "advanced restore", but again, it stucks at the CM9 boot screen and is loading .. now since 10 minutes ..
Tried it with DevilKernel and Semaphore and stock CM9 Kernel of course.
Nothing.
Can I do everything ? Any ideas ? I want to have my apps like colorNote again
Thank you,
YEA64

Restore data one app at a time, and no system data, then you can find the data that is causing problems

Don't select batch, just tap on each app and a window pops up!

I'm referring to titanium, clean flash you're ROM, and then restore one app at a time

I think you missunderstood me .. I am doing Nandroid backup not Titanium ..
The backup in CWM ..

You won't have much luck trying to restore data across roms like that though, hence my titanium reference

Damn .. so I can't do anything .. ?

It boots until the boot screen of the ROM .. it passes the Kernel logo and so on .. but it "loads" to a long time, so in your opinion it is non sense to wait ?

I would go for a clean instal, I go back to gb every month or so, just to keep it clean and slick, only takes an hour to clean flash and restore back to where I am on slim, then as soon as I'm back and clean I do fresh nandroid and I know I'm safe and protected, might sound over the top but I give a lot of advise on slim thread and I need to know what works, what are bugs, and what is caused by user mess ups!

[S5830] How to flash the Stock ROM

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.

[Q] operating system

Hello there people,
I did root on samsung galaxy ace s5830. I have installed one rom, and CWM, but I don't like it. Can I return that phone in previous state?
-Somehow format it, and install fresh original operating system for it?
Thanks in advance,
philip1s

One word, odin.

And what should I do? Can you type it? I don't know how.

Search for it, there are a lots of tutorials on it..also you will find the videos that can you easily learn how to.....

Assuming that you made a backup in your original recovery, just restore it. Otherwise you have quite the adventure ahead of you.
PM me if you further questions.

It looks harder than in fact it is. If u find nice tutorial how to get back to stock using odin, you wont encounter any barriers

You can't restore a backup to get back to stock rom. You'll need odin.
I dont understand why people dont figur this out before they mess with they're phone lol. No offence, but I really wanted to be sure of how to get back to stock before I flashed a custom one.

If you made a backup of your ROM before rooting, changing ROMs etc, you should be able to go back to stock. How did you root it? Flashable zip in recovery or with Odin? I used the recovery and know for a fact that I can go back to stock by restoring my stock backup. Not sure if it'll remove root access or not though. If it doesn't then you can always run the unroot.zip

How do you backup your rom without root acces? You'll need cwm right?

No. You can make a backup with original recovery. I did it before rooting, installing CWM, etc.

[Q] BOOTLOOP on Nandroid Backup. Prev. on PA CM9

Hey guys. I was using the Stock firmware 2.3.4 so i thought of spicing things up. I installed PA for SU-660 (mine is the SU-660).
It flashed successfully but it had some bugs
Anyway I did a NANDROID BACKUP which I had made. It restores completely but it doesn't boots up. Brings me the LG Logo (with the PITCH BLACK BACKGROUND) and then turns off and back at it again infinitely!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did I do wrong?
I wiped the Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache etc before and after doing the backup
Please tell me a fix for this. Thank You!

I don't think the NanDroid Backup is broken. As I have restored my data like 2 or 3 times from that same file and the other 1 time before (I have 2 backups).
I think the problem is with the "Downgrading" procedure. Its strange as I have looked around I haven't seen any case like that...
Btw I can reflash the PA ROM for SU660 though. And I think I can flash between the ICS ROMs.
So a Simple Solution at this point will be:- Do u know any STABLE ICS Custom ROM for the SU660?
Thanks

Want to revert back to STOCK! XDA! please help

Umh, download from mike's thread the stock rom and flash this.
Or flash only the boot.img from fastboot.
Seems a kernel "issue"

Umh, download the stock rom from mike's thread.
Now, do a nandroid backup from recovery and after flash the rom.
I think there isn't any stock rom for your version main, so the easiest solution is this
However, you've tried to erase the cache from fastboot with the command: fastboot erase cache
??
Sent from One with Tapa4

Well i tried the wipe cache/ factory reset etc etc..
In the morning (cause its 2:23 am) i will try the nandbackup(although i have no clue about that) and then a 4.3 stock flash would be reasonable or not?

Defo kernel issue.
- Get odexed from here
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.no/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html?m=1
Or whatever you desire
- Put the downloaded Rom on to your SD.
- Enter cwm/twrp recovery and do a nand (=backup of current ROM)
- install zip of new stock Rom.
Reboot when done.
Either this or just flash bulletproof kernel from flar. see if it gets sorted.

Well I installed TWRP, did a backup, with the default selection, after that I booted, and copied the files.,
Then I copied the odexed file to the device, booted into recovery, and installed it.
Now Wifi Works , and everything is on the "latest" release and still stock.
My question is:
What ROM-s can I try out? Only Odexed? Or Google Editions as well (from the link you provided) and if yes...
I just make a backup from the current setup, and copy it, and then recovery from the backup am I right?
But mainly my problem has been solved... So thank you very much !

Odexed or deodexed, whatever rocks your socks.. if you are gonna do some themeing of icons you need deodexed.
You are S-off and are free to flash loads of stuff.
Google edition? Sure test it out if you want to.
Sure, just back up current Rom and keep it safe on your phone if you can. Any problems occurs you can just restore it.
