I loaded WCX some months back and want to go back to the stock ICS that I had. No need to unroot, just to go back and try stock again. I have S-off and a nandroid backup of my original stock and all the drivers, rootkit on the computer . I want to make sure I am doing this right. My plan is:
1. Wipe phone, davlick etc
2. Use rootkit to fastboot the old boot.img back to the phone.
3. Reboot
4. install old nandroid recovery on sd card
5. boot into recovery and restore nandroid from sd card.
I think I should then have my old ICS stock back and running and "only" have to re-install the apps.
Does that seem right?
Thanks ahead of time for all the help
Why dont you just use an RUU

1. How do I get rid of clockwork mod recovery and go back to bone stock on my N1?
2. Also, I have root explorer but I have no Idea what I'm looking at. Has clockwork put any backups on the internal storage? If so how many and how much room is this taking up?
I was wondering the same thing and then I came upon this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770792&page=2" basically if you have the Rom Manager app installed all you have to do is download a Stock Nexus One Rom Like FRF91 and restore with that. According to the original poster Melwan :-
"For future reference, if you want to restore your phone while having no issues accessing it, just get Rom Manager. Use it to download and install a stock unrooted Froyo rom (just make sure to select wipe data and do not select the rooting options).
Very easy to restore. The passimg method comes in very handy if you cannot even boot into the OS."
I followed the instructions above and went back from Cyanogen RC3 to Stock Nexus FRF91 in just a few minutes.
I'm terribly sorry to ask this, as it probably has been answered previously, but I've looked all over the internet on how to back up my Captivate, with no success. So I dreadfully ask, how do I back up my data so I can upgrade to JI6 afterward?
Thank you.

lol...just 5 mins back i was searching for the same thing and i rooted to cognition 2.2beta7........well u must be rooted....u can backup everything by titanum backup(go to backup/restore and there u can backup all/selected stuff)....also download rom manager and then click on flash clockwordmod......
Root your device.
Install ClockworkMod, then go into CWM and download the recovery ROM for your device.
Click back up current ROM.
Be aware, both of you, that CWM is currently unable to extract boot.img so if you upgrade from Eclair to the leaked Froyo, you will need Windows/Odin to restore your device. Make sure you have in your hand Odin AND the correct Captivate factory Eclair image before you attempt to upgrade to the leaked Froyo.

You will need Odin that you have to flash back to stock JF6. If you want to use your backup from Clockwork of your current setup you must be running 2.2 with the 2e kernel. Clockwork backs up your ROM not your kernel.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Sorry if this is a repeat, im very new to Android and a little confused on backups.
I rooted and then did this after downloading clockwork/rom manager:
How to Install ClockWork Recovery:
1. On the menu there should be an option labeled “FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.”
Press it.
2. Once a popup says that it has been succesful press “BACKUP CURRENT ROM”
3. Your phone will now restart and backup your ROM
4. If your phone does not start backing up and instead boots into a blue menu use the volume
keys to select reboot now and then press the power button. Try to do all the steps again.
5. Wait for it to finish and then it should restart.
Is this considered a Nandroid backup? Is there anything else I need to do as far as backups or is this the best method?
This will allow me to go back to my stock Rom at any point , is that correct?
Then I should use Titanium Backup for data/apps/settings?

Yes - that happened to me also. My first "bad" experience with flashing
from what i read CM7 running ext4, stock runing ext3 right?
so now i'm back with stock running froyo, i still have my backup files on with sd card. Do i root and install rom manager then install Back2Ext3, and final running restore? will this restore back to my original state since i backup using cwm to backup.
thank guy
yes, cm7 uses ext4 system mount. i just use a zip file which i flash from recovery if i need to get back to ext3.
here it is btw if you are on stock froyo and want to restore stock gingerbread (if i understood you right) you dont need to use back to ext3 again, just restore your back up.

Restore stock backup from CM needs to flash an ext4-backto-ext3 zip with cwm, what a pity you overwrite cwm with stock recovery.
Now you should try to rescue your phone with SmartFlash, finally consider nvflash method.

If you mind, try Django Manouche, Custom but stock based ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410662 . I tried many CM and MIUI roms but always ended restoring Django back
Hey I have an optimus 2x.
i was running stock gingerbread on my rooted device. the other night i installed rom manger and downloaded CWM straight from there for my phone. it was version 6. something. i booted into recovery. made a nandroid backup(into the external memory of the phone) . then awhile later for some small reason i restored that same backup, which restored but it sent my phone into boot loop. the lg logo just flashes on and off.
i then heard that i may have installed the wrong CWM so i put another version of recovery onto an sd card and flashed it onto my phone.
cwm-based recovery v5.0.2.7
Now i have this recovery but when i try to restore that same backup it restores it really quickly and says it cant find a bunch of stuff.
i tried to put cynogenmod on the sd card but my phone doesnt give me the option anymore to install zip from external sd.
i have been reading and reading. currently i am on your thread called full brick repair.
i just dont know which way to go. i cant even find a stock ROM. the links i found are broken. I am in canada. its a fido phone.
i have tried A lot.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED . Thank you.
Now you have older version, when backup have been made by newer version. You have to flash newer version of CWM and then wipe data,system and restore backup. It will work
If you want to back to stock, use nvflash toolkits that are floating around here.

The reason i installed the older CWM is because my phone kept bootlooping after restoring the backups
ANYWAYS, i manged to flash the latest cm10 andGapps on my phone. its a bit laggy
what i am trying to do tho is use setDNS an app. to change my dns settings in order to get the american content from netflix.
setdns has superuser permisions and all but i still get the canadian version of netflix.
i think its because of CM10, what should i do?
What should I do to downgrade from CM 10.1 to 2.3.6? Because last time I bricked my phone... How to downgrade?
I'm assuming you haven't made a backup while you were on stock , find a firmware from your country/carrier on samfirmware and flash it via odin on PDA collumn.
Be careful about the version of firmware you get from samfirmware, make sure it fits your phone ( if you have 6500d(without nfc) be sure to get a 6500d firmware and vice versa for 6500)
And one more thing, do not interrupt the flashing process , might brick your phone..
Good luck !
Edit: From what I see on your profile you are from Bulgaria and have M-tel as a carrier, i think this is the firmware you are looking for
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/182233319/b311220/S6500DXXLD2_S6500DMTLLD2_MTL.zip.html
dont forget to wipe all (data, system, cache, dalvik) before flashing to stock to avoid bootloop or else after flash stock, flash CWM and do the wipe

Hey all, i'm upping this thread cause i need some more information.
I'm going back to Stock ROM too, i understood almost all the process, but i'm quite noob with those things so i got 3 questions:
1. How to do a full backup (in case i want to go back to CM 10.1 with all the installed apps on).
2. How to completely clear my phone, i don't want to leave any app/setting/trace on the SD, i want it back as when i bought it.
3. How to be sure of my firmware version? If i look to the "Informations" in "Settings" it says : S6500XXLK2, so i suppose is GT-S6500 without any letter, right?
Thx for any help!

I am really new, but the following has worked for me 3 or 4 times:
Assume you are running the stock ROM that was installed at the factory.
Install a late version of CWM. I have cwm-6.0.3.3-b2-jena.tar.md5.
Install Online Nandroid Backup and do a full Nandroid backup with this tool to the external SD card.
Save this to a hard drive just in case.
Do a full backup of your internal SD and your external SD. Nandroid backup does not
do these.
Then do the whole install procedure for CM 10.1 or whatever.
To go back to 2.3.6, reboot into CM recovery. Do all the wipes: data/factory,cache,dalvik.
Choose restore. Choose restore from sd. This will be external SD. Choose the folder
where the nandroid backup was made. Then wait till done, then reboot. None of this touches
the sd cards, which kind of bothers me. But in practice, people seem not to worry too much.
One thing you could do is format your SD cards and then restore hand-made backups of
your SD cards. I did not bother with this yet. But I never ran CM 10.1 for very long or touched
the SD card very much. Anyway, when I restore my stock ROM this way, I seem to go back
exactly to the state I was in before installing CM 10.1.

Yep, i forgot to say one thing that is in common with the OP: I haven't got a "Stock ROM backup"...i just installed CM 10.1 without making a backup...i know, my fault!
The procedure for backing up CM 10.1 is the same as for backing up factory ROM.
Use Online Nandroid backup. I went from factory ROM to CM 10.1 by restoring a
backup from Online Nandroid.
