Was flashing ICBINB rom and forgot to make a nandroid backup and didn't convert to EXT4 before flashing. Now I am stuck in CWM and phone will not boot. Tried flashing a stock rom via odin, but that wouldnt work either. Any ideas?
Since you can get into cwm, you can fix it. factory reset, wipe cache, check mounts, flash ext4, flash rom, reboot and see if it runs

if the above doesnt work pm me and ill send you a link for a stock nandroid
Well, you definitely only soft bricked at most. What do you mean by you can't flash a stock ROM via Odin? Can you give more details?
It should be easily fixed by Odin. You should Odin KC1, since KD1 has a corrupt system partition.

Is it possible to flash a froyo ROM from a gingerbread ROM if system wont convert to rfs but data is already rfs? I dont own a computer so Odin isn't an option for me.

You definitely need ODIN if you want to be on Froyo bootloaders. Only way to get back onto those is via ODIN.
Flashing another ROM may work but you will stay on GB bootloaders, which will still work to boot your phone just making you aware.
Flash ROM's via CWM that do not have bootloaders in them. Any froyo stock deodexed build by Whitehawkx should work because he doesn't include bootloaders in his flashable's.

Just curious because my data is rfs and my system is ext4. It wouldn't bootloop on me would it.

if you are trying to flash one of the GB roms, you will have problems with an ext4 partition.

What happens when you turn off lagfix via voodoo settings in CWM? That should fully convert you back to RFS.
If not try this, it's a flashable zip that was linked one of Dr Honk's earlier kernel posts. I couldn't find it linked up anymore so it's attached to this post. Flash that in CWM and it should put you back on RFS.
Then boot into the system to make sure you are on RFS, and you can go back and flash whatever ROM without worrying about issues of partial ext4 and rfs partitions.

I get not enough memory card space. Will the rfs formatter delete memory card to.

rfs formatter formats everything.
if you boot up and you get the space error, clear cache and fix permissions.

Im on cm7 with dragon kernel. If I wanted to flash faux kernel, do I need to reflash cm7? My guess is I would probably would need to reflash the entire ROM over.

No, just wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery then flash any kernel. And i believe if you want to go back with cm kernel, same wipe then reflash rom..

I+1 for the fix permissions and I ndont see a stock cm kernel so I think he is right if you want stock cm kernel you have to reflash or restore a nandroid backup.
Couldn't you technically go thru advanced restore and just flash the kernel? I've only gone into there once but can't remember the options available. (This would be to restore cm7 kernel only, follow previous instructions for new kernels)

I think advanced would only let you restore system, data, cache, dalvik cache, boot.img, individually

Just checked it and was about to edit my post. You are correct, no kernel option, would be cool if backups created included the currently installed kernel and you could restore thru that too.

I did a nand backup before flashing official KJ6. I was on kj aosp.
Backup proccess went fine, then I tried official kj6 but didn't see much improvement so I flashed drhonk kj1 kernel for recovery, and tried to go back using my backup.
however, I got an error message:
restoring system...
Code:
E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Error while formatting /system!
any ideas?
GB seems to have an issue with unmounting the system. I have never been able to do a complete restore from a nandroid backup while running GB.
However, you can do an advanced restore, and then restore your data only - that seems to work fine. So you flash the GB rom of your choice (be sure to have a modded kernel with cwm), then advance restore your data in cwm, and you should be good to go.
Its possible, just a few extra steps.
First you need to flash Bali kernel.
Second, reboot recovery
Next, restore your nandroid.
Finally, flash back
kj1 voodoo/cwm kernel

This process will work. Just make sure you have everything on your SD card before proceeding through cwm

Well, this morning after writing this post I figured I could just reflash the ROM i had and then just restore /data. I did that, however for some reason I'm missing now the TwLauncher, only GB launcher is present. It's not big deal, I kinda like it. I think it's because I flashed the official KJ6 AOSP style rom (from airfluip) instead of the one I had, which was leak kj6 aosp style, so maybe the official one doesn't include TWL, who knows. Anyway, all my apps and data is there, so it's all good now.
Thanks to both of you! **clicks thanks button**
i got kinda lost
I've been tinkering with androids for well over a year now and have rooted unlocked and s-off'ed amongst other things many different devices. For some reason I'm having trouble flashing kernels to my s3. Yes I'm unlocked and yes I'm flashing aosp kernels to aosp roms and touchwiz kernels to touchwiz roms. The problem seems most persistent on aosp roms and yes I've also checked that they both had the same cm10 commits. The only kernel I could get to boot was clean kernel on beans custom. Other than that no other kernels will work. The device will boot then the screen will start glitching up and then eventually bootloop. I've also made sure to wipe dalvik and cache plus fix permissions. I've also tried just flashing the kernel after doing a full wipe and starting with a new rom and have root 66ed back to stock and re unlocked. Is there something I'm missing here? I'm getting frustrated as I love custom kernels. Oh and the latest combo I tried was liquid smooth rc3 and lean kernel 1.0. Thanks guys.

did you try wiping cach, davik cach, and fix permissions AFTER flashing then reboot?
Ofc wipe cach and dalvik cache before also.
My usual process goes something like this
*Wipe Cache
*Wipe Dalvik
*Flash Kernel
*Wipe Cache & Dalvik again
*Fix Permissions
Works like a charm every time.

i have had the same trouble once...fixed it by flashing back to a stock kernel first.
try this:
wipe cache & dalvik
flash stock kernel.zip- http://db.tt/ceeDTAfz
flash custom kernel
reboot
Is that the stock cm10 kernel or touchwiz? Also yes I've tried wiping before and after and fixing permissions. So weird and its driving me nuts. I miss having awesome battery life

Tried flashing the stock kernel still same thing. It's so weird. It will begin to boot and then boot animation will start flickering or flashing then glitch up. With every kernel it's the same result.

another thing you might try is formatting system in cwm.

I've tried that a few times when doing a fresh rom install. I mean root66ing through odin should completely wipe everything. I just don't see what I'm missing. I've even tried using a different recovery and still the same. Could it just be something specific to my phone? I'm so freaking stumped!!

now when you odin back to stock, your booting into stock recovery after flashing the rom(root66) and doing a data wipe/factory reset correct? you said full wipe, but just want to be clear. it may be corrupted internal memory and might need to be reformatted.
I actually don't think I was wiping after I used Odin. I'll try that as soon as I get home. Though I have done plenty of factory data resets and system wipes, just not right after I odined. And you mentioned formatting how would I go about doing that?

follow section 6 of my guide...link in sig!
Always perform a full/mega wipe as:
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe cache partition
3) Wipe dalvik cache
4) In mounts/storage section wipe /system
5) wipe /data
6) wipe /cache
7) wipe /preload
Then flash new ROM.
For flashing a kernel, please perform steps 2 and 3.

Can you get back to recovery to flash a new ROM?
I have flashed many ROMS recently to try them out and also had a similar issue with one or two of them.
On my Note 2 I hold power, home and volume up to cycle power and get back to recovery and simply flash a new ROM, presto...
everytime i.flash a rom. i format everything. it might be you flashed a corupt file. redownload reflash

Not sure what is going on but here is how I flash a ROM from recovery and so far so good.
Copy rom file to external sd card in phone.
Do a full factory wipe, cache and dalvik.
Install rom.
Install Gapps if necessary or desired.
Wipe cache and dalvik again.
Reboot
Note that some roms will give you a recommended list of what to wipe if doing a new install or upgrade of that rom, if such instructions exist its best to follow those instead but the above has worked for me for a while now.

That's what is advised to do before flashing a completely different ROM anyway by some. From recovery, flash the ROM again, and if the ROM is not corrupted (check md5 or whatever comes with it), you should be good to go.
