Hello everyone!
I just installed CM9 by the clockworkMod method (after doing a backup of my former official ROM) and it worked great exept I forgot to save my contacts...
So I did another backup of the CM9 and tried to restore the previous ROM, so I would be able to save my contacts and restore the CM9 again.
BUT the restore didn't go well and my phone crashed...
Now I can access both download mod and Clockwork recovery mod, I can see my 2 backups in clockwork recovery mod but when I try, I have the following message:
"data.img not found. Skipping ...
datadata.img not found. Skipping...
[ and it's going on for a few lines...]
Restore complete!"
but it's way too fast (couple seconds) and when I try to reboot I'm stuck on samsung logo.
I tried some solution to unbrick I9000 but nothing worked and I'm kind of desperate after some hours trying to fix it^^
I have clockwork recoverymod v 2.5.1.2 if that's any help.
What can I do to repair my phone?
CM9 use CWM 6.x if I'm not mistaken. If your backup was created with CWM 5.x or other version, please try flash the same CWM version first before you restore your backup.
If still fail, mount the storage via CWM and copy clockworkmod folder from your phone into your computer, you can check what file is missing/etc.
Hey
Or ur can downgrade and root (like 2.3.6 link given below)
then restore from recovery and save ur contacts...
Thanks for your answers. I finally get to re-flash CM9 and back up my contacts by another way.

Ok, in short I can't restore my rom after flashing Cyanogenmod 7 RC1. If I try to recover the phone remain locked in recovery mode.
That's the full story anyway:
Had a Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3 (Italy) rooted with CF-root
Made a backup with clockworkmod (no problem)
Made data/app backup with titanium backup (no problem)
Flashed Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 (no problem)
Restore Titaniun backup, have all my app back but had the first problem. None of my data has been restored, contacts, sms, calls... nothing. Why I ask?
Found that I can't access my sd card, read about the downgrade to froyo. Ok, time to restore to my original rom.
Made a restore of my nandroid backup, via rom manager.
BANG, phone hang up at boot on Galaxy S initial logo.
Ok, don't panic, restored an Eclair 2.1-u1 Rom via odin/download mode. Build XWJM7, Base XXJM3 (I read Flashing Eclair is safer)
Tried to update Android via Kies, but I get a message that my version cannot be upgraded.
Rooted Eclair via oneclickroot, installed rom manager/clockworkmod and tried again to restore my rom backup.
The restore seems to go Ok but the phone is stucked in recovery mode (2e). I get the Galaxy S logo for a few second, then logo disappear and reappear an phone go in recovery mode saying:
installing multi-csc
can't access to /system/csc/itv/system/
successfully applied multi-csc.
There is no way to go on, if I choose update.zip, phone go to clockworkmod recovery. Tried to restore an older backup, same result.
Now I'm again on Eclair.
So is there a way to have my original rom back via clockworkmod? Or I have to flash original CSC/MODEM/CODE via odin?
Thanks for helping.
I think your best choice is to flash from odin in download mode with a clean stock rom with re-partition to start again on a good base.
I made some other test.
Extracted the .img from cwm backup. The boot.img file is corrupted on both backup, file are identical so I though there's a problem backing up bootloader on my phone with cwm.
So I tried to recover all but boot. When I reboot (from eclair, cwm 2.5.1.2) in recovery mode I always get to android recovery 2e. As before if I select update.zip (and update is not present) system get me to cwm recovery. I select advanced restore and system ecc. but get the same problem the before: I get stucked in android recovery.
So again I flash via odin this time to gingerbread, rooted with cf-root, launch cwm manager tried for the last time to recover my damned backup.
And UA-TA! has my phone restored.
Any one has I idea why I was able to restore my rom (and app/data) only AFTER I restored my rom in another way?
I also made backup but it was giving error when i try to restor it

What error do you get?
[Q] Don't work backup restore in CWR (all versions). MD5 mismatch (((
I've had that happen when trying to recover to a different kernel,
maybe that's your problem?
If so flash the kernel you were using at the time of the backup and then restore.
If I helped hit thanks.
I have a question. I tried to install clockwork mod recovery on my I9001 through ROM manager but it gives my only the choice to select I9000. Does it work on I9001 too?

Hi all,
I've searched most forums and google and nothing found that I can use to revive my GT-I9000.
For background, I just rooted my galaxy using
* SuperOneClick and install TB, etc
* Install CWM by using CF-Root (I prev. have Android System Recovery (3e) and so need to follow addictivetips how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000)
* Take Nandroid backup of original firmware
* Flashed CM7 and CM9 back and forth with no issue.
My problem started when I thought I could just use the nandroid backup of original firmware and remove the bloatware, because CM9 is not on stable version yet.
The nandroid backup can’t boot up, so I goto recovery mode and try to reflash CM7 and CM9. The CWM from CF-Root can’t mount the SD card anymore, thus can’t flash the ROM.
I flash the “hardcore-speedmod.tar” from Full_Update_Guide using ODIN and got to the CWM 2.5.1.0 and can see the SD card, but when I try to flash CM7 or CM9, it says “assert failed: getprop (“ro.product.device”) == “galaxys” and a whole bunch of getprop with Status 7 and installation aborted at the end.
This is the same CM7 and CM9 that I used many times before and still in my internal SD card.
I've tried wipe data and cache but doesn't work. Going to Download mode or Recovery mode is not and issue though
I could try restore all from the nandroid backup but it says be carefull, so i hesitate as not want to make it worse. This nandroid backup is also created from diffrerent recovery (created using 3e and now CWM 2.5.1.0 that's running) - Update: took my chance but didn't work as can't mount
I’m not sure how I can copy other files into the internal SD card as well (in Windows).
I’m at my wits end and have search a lot and tried many things.
Please help
Cheers.

Try flashing some older stock android version over ODIN first, than root etc all over again. I had a similar problem just weeks ago and it did work for me, after screwing with it for 3 hours... Will search for some links and post them here, if I find them..
Go look in ask me anything I have the answer, there's a basic guide to save your phone, I have used it a few times and I have saved my phone from the situation u are in.
If you like my posts hit thanks
Last post before I go to sleep with a smile on my face.
For those who might have the same problem, below is what I did.
Did the "[ROM][ODIN]noobfriendly stock jvt firmware (root included)" thread to the T and works the 2nd time. 1st try almost killed the phone with BSOD appearring though.
Thanks for the tip jerdms.
IT'S ALIVEEEE.
Hi
My CWM won't backup anymore, what i do is: I just select back-up, from rom-manager or in CWM, and it does everything it is supposed to do while backuping. Then, when its finished and i reboot, there is a backup, but its only around 30 mb, And when i try to restore it, it says MD5 keys don't match.
Since I want to flash P.A.C. man i kinda really really want this to work.
Any suggestions or sollutions??
Did you try to re-flash recovery? If this does not work I would recommend NV Restore (an ICS stock maybe???)
in rom manager, flash older recovery (5.0.2.0) not the newest. .
boot to cwm, backup... it should work (i had the same issue a few times and older recovery fixed it)
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Pop Plus (S5570i - rooted) which I currently renewed by reflashing the stock rom: I’ve done optimization/customization of both system and applications and now I’d wish to do a Nandroid backup of everything, since I plan to install/test some other rom.
In the past months I’ve tried some CWM recovery which installed fine, and all CWM which I tested were able to correctly performs the Nandroid backup on my SD card, but none of these CWM recovery were able to restore the backup; I don’t exactly remember the exact error message, but was something about the mounting of some partition, furthermore this failed restorings caused my phone to become bricked and I was forced to reflash the stock rom.
By searching on this forum I've find this discussion, about another version of CWM for the S5570i, especially on the following post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27179828&postcount=119
The user in such post ( draiyan ) said that he was able to backup and restore a Galaxy Mini Plus using the Skin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip file. Well: this CWM, as the other which I tried, boots fine on my phone and as the other which I tried, has been able to make a Nandroid backup, but I’d wish to have some other confirmation: is the CWM kin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip recovery able to restore the backup? Or maybe someone can suggest me a tested CWM for the Galaxy Mini Plus with the stock rom, which is able to correctly restore a Nandroid backup?
Many thanks.

Well, I reply to myself, also for future references/needs of the people which will read this topic:
Yes: the CWM Skin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip recovery is able to properly backup and restore the Nandroid Backup on the Galaxy Mini/Pop Plus (S5570I), yesterday I decided to take the risk to restore the Nandroid backup and everything went fine: the restore was properly done, because using a root file explorer I made a text file under /system and /data: after the Nandroid restore these text file were no longer present, and after the reboot I found my phone in a previous state (before the restore the phone was in plane mode, after the restore the plane mode was disabled).
