Looks like your only option is to wipe and reflash whatever rom it is youre using... However, you did post this in the wrong section, and some people tend to get anal about such things...
Almost sounds like you were using an Evervolv rom [happened to me when I was on it.] But what rom are you using? I suggest doing a clean wipe and installing the latest google apps.

That format file essentially does the same thing as wiping through recovery.

I don't think it does. I don't think normal wiping in recovery wipes the system folder. That's what I read once. Might not be true, but I don't see it say "WIPING SYSTEM..." in Amon RA when I tell it to format. It does data, cache, and sd .secure, I think, but not system.
Edit 1: Oh, and I'm one of those people who are anal about where you post things. Have you never been to a forum before? CLEARLY there is a questions and answers sub-form under the Supersonic main forum section.
Edit 2: I just realized who I responded to. Barnacles, I'm guessing you know better than I do since you actually helped develop the ONLY stock Gingerbread ROM for the EVO that's out right now.
Hello,
I'm a new poster here, but a long time lurker... Anyway I'm having a problem.
I just rooted and flashed the Heinz57 rom, got everything set up the way I want it. I booted into recovery to do a back up and it says "Error while backing up Boot Image." Yes, I've disabled lagfix. USCC Mesmerize, btw.
What is this error and how do I fix it?
CwM 3.x, fyi.
Thank you for any help!
Do you have lagfix enabled? If so, try disabling it in CWM, reboot, and try backing up.
Ha! Just edited the OP!
I have it disabled everytime I try to back it up. No luck.
But have you disabled it and rebooted your phone to actually let it convert the file system back?
I disable, reboot, let it do its thing and when it's done, go back into recovery. Try to backup, it gives me the error.

Just making sure. Have you tried using CWM 2.5?
No. But wouldn't I need to flash a whole new rom to use it?

No you don't...I just tried making a nand this morning and am having this same issue, had to odin 2.5 recovery to make a nand. I tried to odin cwm3 thinking it was the .zip, reflashed the rom, kernel and other recoveries, nothing worked just the same error in the op..im trying all the recommended fixes I can find..
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
never mind my last post, I reflashed the OTB 1.3 TW kernel and everything is back to normal with that recovery...making a cwm3 nand now.
So it's a problem with Heinz? Or am I reading that wrong?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I wanna say its something with the recovery and whatever kernel you've got going, specifically. Wish I knew more.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
So I can odin flash 2.5 without losing my rom and settings? I didn't know that... lol
Why r y'all disabling lagfix? Ive not been disabling and my backups r restoring just fine. I vaguely remember that disabling was recommended at some point but thought it was on cwm2.5 so when we got 3.0 I tried not disabling and been good so far on every Rom I've flashed.

If you leave it enabled and end up with a bad Rom flash that forces you to have to use Odin you can end up with a lot of issues.
Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.
This contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Perform Factory Data Reset/Wipe Data (If you skip this step it may still work but may leave existing apps and may cause FC's)
2. Flash Via Odin
3. Wait 5min to boot
4. Hit Thanks
The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS
T959VUVKF2 NO BOOTLOADERS
Thanks
Dr.Honk for answering all my stupid questions.
Krylon360 for original KF2 leak
nice dude!!!
Been looking for this. Might be enough to make me give KF2 a try finally.
Thanks.
Nice up man

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?
just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

This will erase all apps, you need to use titanium backup first if you want to save that stuff.

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.
Thanks.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~
I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

Can someone point me in the right direction on getting the steps to restore the factory ROM on my infuse? I succesfully installed infuse v1.5 but I forgot to back up my factory rom before i did it. I know gingerbread is going to be released soon, so I looking to switch back to get the upgrade from AT&T.
any help would be great, thanks

GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock
Can someone tell me if I return my phone to factory settings (cause I want to return it) after flashing infused ROM on it, will the company suspect anything? Crazy parents don't know anything about phones anyway
you can just use GTG's unbrick thread. Reboot into download and Odin it back to stock with the files he provides.
update fails
okay, so I used GTG's Ultimate Unbrick to restore. It totally worked! Now i am having an issue with the update. The phone will not update. Is there a way to fix this? the update will download, and when it reboots and starts to update, it will get to 25% and a message "update failed"
Same thing is happening to me. I even did a factory reset and still wont update.

Every ROM should have a kernel cooked into it (99% of the time). Your phone will not boot if it lacks a kernel. When you flash a new ROM ensure you factory reset, wipe cache, and format system before flashing the new ROM. The only time you need to worry about flashing a kernel on a ROM is if you would like to change it, or in the rare case, if it lacks one.
Thanks so much :thumbup:

No worries man, I know what it's like to be unsure and its irritating. Just make sure to backup any apps you have, because wiping obviously will return the phone back to "stock" thus lacking apps and current system settings (alarm ect.)
Edit: I recommend titanium backup for backing up and restoring apps.
Cool one more question if u have the time. I went to install the new Tom and clockworkmod tells me it can't mount system I looked around on the fourms and could find a solid solution.?

Are you using ROM Manager? If so, that may be why... it has been buggy for a while it seems, but I always flash manually so I wouldn't know where it's at now. Boot into recovery by holding power and volume down (when the phone is off) and let go when the LG logo changes to another logo. From there do the three wipes (factory reset, cache, and format system) then flash ROM and reboot. (Format system is under mounts on the main screen)
K trying today ur a life saver
