Hi there. I just recently was toying around with my hone, rooting it, installing some ROMs and stuff. After flashing the ion revision2 ROM, my phone would not go past the rogers screen. Being my stupid self, I never backed up with nandroid. What should I do now? Please help.
Make a Nandroid backup in future. Anyway, you can find a wiped Rogers stock rom here:

I've tried searching for this throughout the forums and I guess it's to vague to find an exact answer. So here's my problem:
A while back I had backed my original JI6 ROM for my Samsung Vibrant. I've been playing with a good set of ROMs from Team Whiskey since then. Each one I've been able to restore to a backup made of the previous ROM. However, the backup I had made for my Original Stock ROM will never restore. It just stalls during the restore. I've let it sit for about eight hours overnight a few times, but no real progress there. I'm not sure what I can do really to get that backup restored to my phone.
I have two backups, one when I first installed ROM Manager to my phone and another I made when I wanted to try out a new ROM. Each do not work. I'm either assuming some where the same file was not backed up correctly or the backup is to big? It is about 1.5GB.
Please any help in this matter would help greatly as Samsung is finally ready to release a 2.2 Update and I'd like to try this from my original-ish stock ROM.
Thank you!
nothing? no ideas?
*bump*
Ok first off I have to say that this site is great I have found alot of helpfull and some confusing topics here lol. the other day I downloaded the cyanogen mod 7 and everything is working perfectly on my htc evo sprint
my only problem I noticed is that I dont know how to revert back to The HTC Sense ui. My other question is that I noticed alot of different roms on here and some I have tried installing but some wont work for me and some freeze when i attempt to reboot. Can anyone help me out please!!!
To revert back to Sense from Cyanogen, you'll have to reflash the ROM that came stock on your device. You should be able to find this in the forum for your device (EVO).
There are many different ROMs available here, some will work for you and some you may experience difficulty with. Most Devs usually post step-by-step instructions for installing their ROMs in the Opening Post (OP) of the thread. If you follow these you'll usually be fine, and you can always flash back to stock and start again if you get into trouble.
Good luck, and welcome to XDA
Did you do a nandroid backup first? If not, you should always do one before flashing. If you did, just restore through your recovery & you'll be back where you were before.
If CM7 is functional but you just don't like it, I would go ahead and do a nandroid backup anyway, so if anything messes up you'll at least have something working you can restore.
If you want something like stock, I would suggest the Sprint Lover's Rom. Myn's Warm 2.2 would also be good, or you could try out Warm Z which is the new version of Sense. I'm assuming you like Sense as a UI & as a launcher?
I've heard great things about Mikfroyo as well. If you're new to rooting/flashing, I would suggest using a stable Rom instead of an experimental one - at least until you get the hang of it.
If you're having trouble flashing ROMs, try switching to Amon Ra recovery (I assume you're using clockwork) and try flashing again. You can do this through ROM Manager (it came with CM7). Just choose "flash alternate recovery".
Before rooting, modifying, and flashing ROMs, you're supposed to have a clear understanding of it all. I suggest reading the stickies in the Evo forums & any guides you can find. Read everything. Seriously.
I have an Evo as well, so if you need anything, I'm here. Just ask. If you need some guidance & handholding, send me a pm & I'll walk you through everything. Just be sure to educate yourself. There's no such thing as knowing too much when it comes to modifying your phone.
EDIT: If the phone gets stuck on the splash screen after flashing a Rom, it's most likely because you didn't wipe properly. Be sure to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache.
Thank u kindly
Both of you were helpful I will take my time and read and explore the forums in hopes of understanding clearly yes i am running clockwork is this ananran better? if so how can i use it ?
well right now I'm currently flashing the cm7 rom. I can't send/receive any mms right now. I've tried searching and I've tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to be working. I also miss my stock froyo as well. So I was wondering if I can revert back to the original stock froyo, but still be root.
I used rom manager and I backuped the orginal rom before I flashed the cm7 and the addons, but I don't know where it use or even how to go about it . Can I use that to revert back to the orginial rom and will I still be rooted?
I'm currently on the mytouch4g and if you know where I can download the rom for froyo please post a link.
thank you very much.

Hi, the answer to your question is actually in your post...if you backed up your froyo rom with the rom manager, then you just have to restore the backup.
To do that, go to the Rom manager, manage and restore, and then find your backed up rom. It should take a while and you will be back to the state you were before flashing CM7. Just in case make a nandroid backup of your current rom in case things don't go as expected. It should be working neatly. Hope it helps. Let me know if you could restore it. See ya....

Hey i also have a Mytouch 4G and i have looked around before but couldn't seem to find a Stock froyo rom that is rooted. I would recommend you use a different ROM other then CM7. There are plenty of roms in the mytouch 4g section. we also have a great dev TheDerekJay does an amazing job with keeping all his roms updated. im using his MIUI rom on my mytouch and im in love with it.
actually I just looked at my rom manager backup file. and it says the date for today... I used mybackup root to just back up my data because I was planning on changing my rom. So I'm seriously am confused now... I back uped the rom (froyo) just yesterday so shouldn't it say that 1/1/2012 instead of 1/2/2012? Should I just flash this backup anyway and hope for the best?

I should have the date and time when you did the backup...but if It was after midnight or your time zone is not correct that might affect the name. If it is the only backup you did then it must be it. Let me know after you flashed it how things resulted.
thanks glevitan. You were right the time zone is probably not set correctly. I restored the file and I'm back to the original stock froyo and I'm still rooted I'm very happy now. thank you so much.

You're welcome...enjoy your new/old rom. See ya!
Is there an international rom for the Atrix 2 yet, ive flashed a few roms but they are all still loaded with AT&T stuff.
has ANYONE got a link to motorolas stock firmwares?
id quite like to flash back to my stock rom (telecome New Zealand)
if anyone can help me ill bow down
I don't think there's an FXZ for New Zealand yet.
This is why it's recommended to do a cwm backup before flashing new roms.
Daywalker04 might be the guy to go to to get fastboot files tracked down, though I think he needs some of the details about the system to find the fastboot files for us...
Hopefully there's another kiwi around here that can back up the system for you to do a restore.
Note that most of the AT&T stuff can be removed...
I'm kind of interested in the build numbers for Telecom NZ's Atrix 2 firmware.
Thanks, its not actually my phone, before the guy did a backup he used titanium backup to remove some stuff he didnt want, in his haste he deleted something that was related to contacts and he couldnt add contacts anymore, at that stage it was to late to make a CWM backup.
He flashed someone elses CWM backup but it went into a bootloop and wouldnt start at all, so he flashed a custom rom from here but it was AT&T and he couldnt get any service.
hes currently on rebel rom but desperately wants it back to stock (hes a 52 year old man) he was even gona go as far as paying a mobile repair site to fix it back to stock.
I realise this is now an old topic. But, here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
I have a TmoUS HTC One S, and I unlocked bootloader, rooted my phone and flashed Pacman 22.3 on my phone. I like the rom, but it has slowed my phone and made it quite buggy. It soft-resets at least once a day and randomly gets stuck on lock-screen and I have to wait a couple minutes to try again. Anyway, those are just a couple of my annoying bugs that I don't want to deal with anymore. I'd like to just go back to the stock rom, but as I've found out, I can't restore from a previous backup.
As I'm relatively new to smart-phones, rooting, installing roms. I need a straightforward tutorial on how to flash the stock rom. I've read through the xda forums but cant seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I apologize in advance if this wasn't the correct thread to post in.
PS - Not sure if this make any difference, but I have CWM installed as my recovery.
