Full restore on gingerbread works with both froyo and gingerbread roms

To do a full restore on gingerbread just flash a bali kernel with voodoo. Then after the flash reboot recovery then restore your nandroid
EDIT: may also help on soft bricking gingerbread as long as you have gingerbread bootloaders. As you can restore to a nandroid.

I used the voodoo recovery all i did was flash the kernel bali 3.3,then immediately boot back into recovery, then fully restored my backup. I would make a video but i dont have a youtube account maybe dsexton or raverx3x could make a video for it.

Works with GB, just tested.
First made backup, of course.
Then flashed Bali 3.3
Rebooted to recovery
Restored backup of GB
Rebooted to recovery
Flashed KG4 cwm kernel
thanks for the find, makes flashing pain free again!

Glad I scrolled through and found this...
ICBINB KH2 left me with the vanishing SD card, i was looking for a fix for that problem when I found this... at least I should be able to get back on Black Ice for now.
Followed the steps, so no clue what happened, but it did... and I couldn't get my compie to recognize the phone to Odin back like I usually would... Recovery wouldn't come up like usual either...
One 5 second read here and I'm back on Bali 3.3, and restoring my last Ice nand...
(fingers crossed, but should be good to go!)

Isn't the real question for gb "how to do a full backup?"
Sent from my SGS4G using XDA Premium App

cnote thanks for the find. Life just got a whole lot simpler!

so does Gingerbread actually run with the Bali 3.3 kernel then?
or is it just so you can use the recovery console, and you never actually boot the phone? so you would need to immediately flash a GB kernel after this?

You need to flash kg4 cwm kernel after restoring your GB nandroid. If restoring froyo, I always reflash Bali after restore. All this done in recovery. Don't let the phone boot up until you reflashed the kernel.

Yeah, I thought GB doesn't mount the system, so a GB NAND backup can't be made.
@Somairotevoli: Did you flash Bali 3.3 first, then create a backup of GB? I'm so confused on this.

Backlights blinking when phone locked. Infusion A

I'm having a weird issue with the infusion kernel A that when I lock the screen the backlights of the 4 buttons flash every so many seconds. Reeeeeeally annoying. I downloaded BLN and disabled backlight notifications but this is still happening. Anyone know how tp fix it?
Thanks

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Um I went to recovery and advanced and didn't see the option. My recovery is green and then it switched over to a red one and said voodoo. It happened after I selected "key test" and hit the back button. Also I selected the "reboot in download mode" or something like that and a screen came up saying downloading don't shut off. Well it got stuck so I shut it off haha. But nothing bad happened. Anyways I don't know if I have the option. :/

Haha I will just one more question. Can I simply flash it over the kernel I currently have with out any bad effects. And what will be the difference between the two? Besides maybe fixing the bln issue. And which recovery and I supposed to have? That was three questions actually lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I suggest flashing the Defuse 1.4 kernel - it doesn't do overclocking but it's solid and stable. Don't flash 1.5 - it has BLN too.
Every attempt to implement BLN on our phones has led to flakiness and instability.
Other option - upgrade to Gingerbread, that's where all the kernel development is these days.

Haha I said screw it and went to Infused. Wanna see how this baby runs on that with the tweaks DynamicRam posted. Thanks for the input guys. I'm honestly going to wait until the OG Gingerbread comes out to upgrade. I love having EVERYTHING on the phone work haha

Hey guys I just opened up SetCPU and the voltage tab went away and so did the overclocking. This happened right after I flashed Infused rom anyone know why? Should I just flash the Kernel over top? I mean I was trying to avoid that because of the bin issue

Defuse isn't an overclock kernel. You have a choice of overclocking with some instability, or stability without overclocking.

[Q] Best Odin Rom Should I Flash ?

i was wondering what odin rom should i flash from the bible cause idk which one to use i want gb but idk what odin to be safe with can anyone who has that gb help.. our what odin is best and safe for me

I think the KG4 leak is the one that has the gb bootloaders... BUT! to be save, look for the GB Starter Pack thread made by FBis251 (or something very close) that has worked for me to upgrade from froyo to gb and many others. Hope I helped!

All of the leaks have GB bootloaders.
If you're just planning to have a 100% stock odexed ROM, then you should go for the newest KJ1 ROM.
If you're just asking this to see which GB ROM is the best, you should shoot yourself in the foot, cause you could probably find at least 3 recent threads on that topic.
I'm looking around in the forums and you're spending very little time in searching and trying to understand.

I followed the process to ODIN KG4
then used recovery mode to flash Valhalla (Via Zip) from SD card

You have to read the GB Starter Pack and begin there in order to get the proper bootloaders for GB. Then you can simply flash Valhalla.

Try this SU update dman posted in another thread http://www.multiupload.com/RIAHB3BS8C I ran it and it fixed my issue. Just flash it from cwm

lost root after flashing superuser upgrade

i emailed the Superuser guys about a month ago with an issue where i would get constant notifications to update my superuser binary, no matter how many times i actually updated it, and they sent me a CWM zip to flash and try to fix the problem (new version of superuser). i flashed it and all went well. i've been having the same issue again so i thought "why not try the same thing" and flashed the zip but lost root somehow. so is there any way that i could just push the files for root? can that be done on a GB rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Sounds like the binaries in your kernel are outdated. Try flashing a new rooted kernel. If you're on GB try drhonks kj1

i figured a kernel flash would help so i did it (forgot to write that in the OP) and i flashed the kj1 but it didnt help
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I always had that problem everytime i updated superuser in the market and phone reboots it reports binaries out of date. It only happens to me when i update superuser, so trying leaving superuser alone and not update it.

But really, The one-click makes these "it doesn't work" or "I can't root" problems go away.

I read somewhere that you can flash su via cwm from a zip that its in the superuser page. might wanna check it out. Sorry if im wrong!

So... Let me get this straight.
You ran the kj1 or kj6 (not the fully stock) one-click and you didn't have root at that point? Are you doing something after the one-click?
