restoring nandroid after ics?

Hi,
This may be a noobish question, but if I want to experiment with the new ICS builds, will I be able to simply restore a nandroid to revert to the way I had it before on GB?

Yes you can. Here are the detailed steps for reverting to GB from ICS.
--Download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel with redpill touch recovery Or Abyss 3.9 Kernel (for some users where the 4.2 kernel haven't worked 3.9 worked perfect)from here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424 .
--Now first put this zip on your SD Card before you try to flash anything or restore anything.
--Now boot into recovery - Volume up + Home + Power
--Choose - install zip from SD Card
--Navigate to your Abyss kernel 4.2 or 3.9 zip and flash it
--After flashing is complete- go back to the Recovery start menu
--Go to advanced > reboot recovery
--This will reboot the phone directly to new recovery - Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery
--Now go to Wipe Menu and wipe cache, dalvik and do your factory reset
--After this start your restore from nandroid backup , or flash any GB rom !
Cheers!! Enjoy your Note!
Hit thanks if it helped!

Hi abhi...
I heard that if you're coming from ICS Stunner to Nandroid or Flashed GB Rom, you should downgrade to AbyssNote 3.9 Kernel instead.
Have you experienced such a thing?

Stick to Abyss 4.2!! tried and tested numerous times!!
However once kernel is flashed make sure to reboot the recovery from the kernel, it will reboot into the newly flashed kernel and then try to restore your nandroid.
Just follow what Abhi said and it will be a smooth ride for you mate!!

Hi,
I have very limited experience with my brand new SG note.
Just a few quick questions:
1. I currently have midteam 1.1 installed.
2. If I create a cwm/rom manager backup of the current rom, can I reboot to cwm recovery and simply restore (which I did with lots of struggles.
Restoring after removing sim card worked eventually and that may have nothing to do with restore; but it worked!)?
Would Abyss 4.2 in place have made the recovery smoother?
Or
It is required only if I want to go back to GB again?
3. Can I flash Abyss on top of my current ICS, regardless?
I hope I have put my question properly.
cheers

The only ,I repeat the only safe ICS ROM is cm9 official ,if you install that then you can restore your GB nandroid backup normally from CWM
But with any other ICS ROM you'll have a high chance of bricking if you so a restore or flash from CWM .the reason being is the leaked kernel which is being used in said ROMs have a faulty erasing script and may cause a corrupted nand drive ,thus a permanent brick
Read the public service announcement sticky first before flashing anything.

[Q] question about cwm wipe

I am a noob..i am on chinese leak i.e i9220 .i flashed lp1 repack.so i am under the emmc bug
I want to go back to GB.the guide says you have to flash abyss kernel first and then perform all three wipe from the redpill recovery..i wanted to ask that if i wipe from redpill will the emmc bug will be triggered or it is just on cwm and stock recovery..in simple words will the emmc be damaged if i wipe using redpill recovery?
Thank u in advance

should be safe if you are on redpill recovery. i have done it several times, and others did too. just make sure you are on redpill by rebooting to recovery AFTER you flashed the kernel. (advanced>reboot recovery).
to be safer, get a wipe stock GB rom and do it via pc odin.

thank u very much ..

Restore from Nandroid

Hello all,
I recently upgrade (for my first time) to ICS ROM with ABYSS Kernel,
but of course before my upgrade i backup my phone - Nandroid backup.
My question is:
can i restore my Nandroid image and all my Data, ROM and Kernel will be restore??
Thanks in advance,
Bar

Do NOT restore a nandroid backup with CWM on any of the stock ICS roms. You will need to flash the Abyss kernel to restore a nandroid.
What is the nandroid backup of? Like which rom?

The Nandroid backup i have is from my GB stock ROM,
can i go and restore form it?

Yes but first you must flash abyss kernel. Reboot into abysskernels cwm then you can restore the backup.

I already have Abyss kernel installed, is there another Abyss version for gingerbread?
my current Abyss version is: AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip

That's the right version. However, Abyss is just for Gingerbread and restoring nandroids. So, you couldn't have been booting ICS with Abyss because it wouldn't boot up, at least not correctly.
But yeah, if you don't have it flashed, flash Abyss, reboot recovery, and restore nandroid.

Thanks andreww88,
Before my upgrade to ICS i went through the below link instruction:
1. install Abyss Kernel
2. reboot into it
3. wipe data
4. install rom
Link:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v2-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/
please give last green light that i can go and restore Nandroid if i have Abyss ver 4.2 already installed on my GNote N7000?

Have you installed abyss again after ics?

Hi Belfia,
This is my problem, i failed install kernel.
after i installed Abyss and KingDroid ROM all went well, till i reboot into recovery via Rom Manager...
what can i do to go back to gingerbread? (i am afraid from bricking my device...)

Now, I understand you. Any time you flash a rom it will install the kernel that goes with it. So you flashed stock ICS so you have the stock ICS kernel (so do NOT wipe data and do not restore nandroid). Reboot into recovery. You need to flash the abyss kernel again in CWM. Then, you need to "Reboot Recovery". It should be in Abyss now. Now, you can do restore nandroid.

i think i was not clear enough, i will explain again:
After i installed Abyss and KingDroid ROM all went well, till i reboot into recovery via Rom Manager...
Now when i try to install Abyss Kernel again it's failed, it is stuck on "Installing Update..." (see screenshot attached).
what can i do to go back to gingerbread without bricking my device?
Thanks you all

OK - don't reboot after you install Abyss Kernel
After you install zip - choose Advanced > Reboot into recovery.
Don't reboot after install Abyss - it is likely a bootloader problem. Check out the video on first page and you will see that what I mean.

Hi Folks,
i have a simple question and i hope someone can answer this:
I'm on GB 2.3.6 with XXLC1 (i did this via flashing old GB ->zergrush exploit -> GB 2.3.6 via mobile odin with keep root)
Am i right when i say that all i have to do now is putting the PA.zip in the root directory and flash it via CWM?
Or do i have to change the kernel or any other things?

Download and flash abyss kernel in CWM, then reboot into recovery (under advanced in CWM) and do a full wipe and then install PA

Okay heres the thing , I want to flash a new roms and I did the same old thing
Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Go to advance screen and wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sd card - > choose zip from sd card. Find your ROM in the extSDcard.
Flash the ROM and reboot system.
While flashing , it took so long to actually flash like 10mins or so and I give up and I did a hard reset.
Can anyone point to me where did I do wrong ?
And I'm trying to flash this

Just download Hydracore, go back to recovery and flash it... Then go advanced options and reboot recovery.. After that wipe everything again and flash the new rom... Stay away from franco kernel that's way outdated and doesn't work with anything
Tapatalking on my n7000

i tried flashing hydracore and it took for me 10mins plus at the screen and still at the same place.

you tried to flash hydracore, and its not installing ?
may be try to flash back the stock ICS using odin and then flash Philz kernel to gain root
.boot into recovery and go to mounts & storage.
format / sytem
format / data
then try to install your TMT rom

If TMT is installed, Or even part installed then it wont boot with Hydracore kernel, The main thing is just having the kernel installed cause its safe, So, In recovery (with Hydracore installed)
Do all the necessary wipes, Flash the ROM, Then flash the kernel (Philz kernel)
then it should boot
If not, follow the above post to revert back to stock ICS / GB with odin, and then start the whole procedure again :good:
