I have a S-on device with unlocked bootloader. I took a nandroid of my phone and tried a diffrent ROM. and found it to be laggy. So i restored the nandroid back from the recovery and now the phone just bootloops all the time and boots into recovery..
I am using 4ext recovery..
something wrong with the kernel or what ??
i am running low on battery.. will this mess up my phone ??
ok.. Here's what I did.
I wiped everything again and flashed that laggy ROM again in recovery and then flashed its kernel (took from its zip file) from bootloader. and phone started again. So that means the kernel that the nandroid contains (nandroid of my original stock ROM) is invalid ? So how i fond the original kernel of the stock ROM now so that I can restore its nandroid ??

1. Jam all your posts in one post next time. That's why there is the "EDIT" function.
2. All you needed to do was to flash the boot.img found in the nandroid.
1) ya. I am sorry. I was in a hurry so i just flooded the posts.
2) I did that. I flashed the boot.img from the nandroid. I tried both ways i.e. flashing before restoring the nandroid and flashing after restoring the nandroid.

I tried restoring from a nandroid backup I made and after the restore, I could only get as far as the i9000 boot screen. I went into recovery to try and flash a ROM, but CMW recovery could not mount my partitions (partitions got messed up by nandroid?) The only quick way I could think of was to use odin and refalsh and repartition.
I restored my nandroid from within CWM recovery. Is there something I am missing in the restore process? Obviously something went wrong.

Hey man, sounds like you tried to restore one system over another,
Forexample, stock over cm7? and that messes up the partitions as you see!
Try to install the rom you are trying to restore before you start restoring!
Should work then!
Hope this helps
I did indeed try to restore a ROM which was very different from the installed ROM. I will keep your suggestion in mind the next time I do a restore.
Just to confirm : yes, you need to flash the base ROM you're trying to restore.
I played with ICS over the weekend and got back by flashing a stock - well stock+ - JVZ and restoring nandroid.
Did the same thing, stupid as I am,
the big problem is that none of the computers I've tried with is detecting my phone right now.
I get in to CWM but and to download mode but that ain't helping me since i can't use Odin to flash back to stock rom.
Any ideas?
So i did a nandroid backup before installing an ics custom rom. Now i wanna go back to simplicity rom. Last time i tried it said that it could mount the sd and all. Is there something i need to do before?

So restore to GB, I already have JVP. Install CF-Root, Download Rom Manager, Flash Recovery and then nandroid restore?
thanks

I would just flash a kernel with recovery through odin and do a nandroid restore from there, if you're already in JVP.

Yup this is the right way to do it. Get GB ROM with CWN recovery first though ODIN and then restore nandroid backup through it.
When you restore a backup with cwm do you get all your apps back?
And what exactly does it restore?
The only time i tried the restore function was when i flashed ics but it was a gb backup and i got an error .so help me please
If u want to restore a gb. backup when on ics, u need to flash gb. Kernel. then u reboot directly into recovery(advanced/reboot recovery) and restore your backup.
And yes all your apps and settings will also be restored.
thank you..putting a gb kernel wont brake the phone?
No, bootloader on i9000 ics roms is ginger. And you don't have to wipe anything.
if u know witch ginger kernel u were running,flash that kernel and restore your backup
But DON'T boot up your phone. Just reboot into recovery from recovery and then restore your backup from the ginger kernel.

Can you backup custom roms? Because im having trouble.
Yesterday i updated from dark knight v3 rom to v5.5 and backed up the rom through recovery mode because rom manager wouldnt work (kept getting the android guy on its back with an exclamation mark)
I decided to go back to v3. I booted into recovery, wiped date/cache then restored my backup rom. When it finished, it stuck at the boot animation for 30 minutes. I pulled the battery and tried to boot into recovery but it just kept rebooting until i took my fingers off the up+power the proceeded to animatiin where it would just hang..... did i do something wrong?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
hey guys,, i seem to have stuffed the recovery of my phone,, i stupidly installed cwm on my phone without root, but when i reflashed with odin the stock recovery works but when i install cwm, it doesnt go into recovery
CWM doesn't require root!
Try to reflash a stock rom. Not the one package file but the whole rom.

Don't be a noob. Be a newbie..!!

i have tried, once i flash cwm it doesnt boot into recovery,, ill try redownload and see if that helps
finally got it to work, i found a odin flashable cwm and it now works
ok now that i have cwm semi working on my phone, its now very difficult install roms, the only rom i can get to work on my phone now is stock,,, i now cannot flash cwm from recovery otherwise i get cwm bootloop only flashing by odin works, all custom roms get bootloop no matter how many times i flash and wipe data/cache,, i think my phone is stuffed
You sure you're installing cwm and roms for your device? What model ace do you have? (Not the i model right?)

Make sure it is Just the "S5830" Any other then your in the wrong thread.
Tbh The order i do it, Flash the latest stable stock rom Via odin, Flash update {Any Kernel} (On phone) Then Reboot into CWM To flash a rom.

yes it is, im not a noobie,, done that too,, im trying to flash cm9 b10 now but its stuck at samsung, and yes i have done data wipe and cache wipe
Only way i can think of is:
Flash new software with Odin: http://www.4shared.com/rar/FCyxijg8/odin_s5830_package.html
Then flashing "CWMRecovery" {AttacthMent} as an update through stock recovery as an update
Then reboot into CWM Recovery To wipe data Etc Etc, Then flash what ever ROM you want..
please more info man really not helping.

Flash "Root" After Flashing "CWM" See if that helps? if not please try the order i have gave, or try looking for different resources.
The Sources i have given you are working fine for my Ace.
flashed a ROM today and it was working.. then it rebooted itself and I changed the kernel.. my imei lost...was using that kernel for long..I had a copy of efs from cm10.1 ..copied back ..set permission.. imei is correct... same as on back of the phone.. but no service ..any help... urgent...
Guaranteed method for IMEI restore is flash back to stock GB (no bootloaders), flash Corn kernel to get CWM, repartition the phone to match what you had (CM10.x, flash twice the same file), then restore your OS backup. You don't need to reboot the phone or setup the new CM installation, just restore your backup right after repartitioning.
