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.

Ignore my last post, I didn't read your issue correctly.

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.

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.

Official ICS to CF ICS

Hey guys.
I'm currently on official ICS (LTY) without root.
But the battery life is pretty awful. So I thought of switching back to pre-rooted GB via PC odin and then flashing ICS Chinese repack via mobile odin and flashing imilka or stunner via cwm, because the battery life was so much better.
Are those the right steps to flash it without risk of bricking it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
If you gonna usa a chinese repack you have a chance to brick your phone, so keep away from Stunner or imilka roms
I've been on them before and they looked pretty stable to me.

Without root there is not much you can do to help battery life. If you were rooted you could freeze or remove some system apps.

That's true, but I've read that CF-root is dangerous in cwm.

PURE speculation based off one user who experimented with LPY kernel on CM9 official.
Root by itself without cwm is possible. But freezing or removing system apps has nothing to do with your recovery either.
Check out Dr ketan guide to LPY upgrade with root. Its the cautious method

Find post #2 or 3 on first line of my sign
Download any ROM(GB), preferably your region and flash using PC Odin
You may find force closes or stuck at boot, but nothing to worry. reboot in recovery and wipe cache and data.
Flash a GB rom from ur region and wipe data / dalvik and cache from recovery
thanks for the replies guys, is there any i should avoid causing the brick that affected so many people, or have all the at risk files been removed from xda forum ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Avoid wipe / reset once you are on stock ICS kernel.
but the other guys said to wipe after i install the stick rom?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
He said you to wipe on gb rom, I advised you not to wipe on stock ics rom.
Got it?
Read post #2 what I did say
I have said same to wipe, but on gb rom only.

That was for stock Gingerbread rom, wipe on GB is safe but it is not safe on ICS. As long as you are on GB roms you can wipe without any issue. So best for you is to download stock Gingerbread firmware for your country from here and then flash it using pc odin, you will find instructions for using odin in same thread.
After flashing GB rom you may face some boot loop or other issue, so in that case just boot in stock recovery (vol up+home+power) and perform full wipe.
