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*
So guys since we have the choice which are u doing
unroot to stock gingerbread
flash to stock gingerbread
wait for the dev gingerbread
I'm getting ready to do all of the above...because I'm a crackflasher...and I have to try everything available, lol.]
Stuck on vacation
Maybe there will be a good rom worth upgrading to by the time I get back, but the baseband seems to be the biggest advantge. I'll have to do both.
I run Cyanogenmod, I'll just stick with that. Here soon they'll incorporate everything useful from it.
Well, nevermind...I restored stock, stock recovery, unrooted, tried to update, but found out that my phone is a 999DWP...so reflashed cwm, rerooted, and back to my cm7 nandroid.
Guess the G2x community isn't for a good pole.
IM definitely waiting on the devs to play with it.
Did anybody get the back to the future reference?
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!
First off, just let me say that I am not a complete newbie, but I am fairly new to this so bare with me, I am sorry.
Ok so here is the story. I got the phone new with froyo and then got the OTA update for gingerbread.. I hated the the new camera app, so I rooted, flash clockwork recovery and flashed back to Froyo. Well I got sick of Froyo because besides the camera, gingerbread to me is way better. But this is where I have problems. I tried to flash back to stock gingerbread and it said "installation aborted" every time and I have no idea why. I tried to update through LG updater with no luck, and I dont know why, maybe baseband? So I get pissed and unroot and flash back stock recovery, which is where I am at now. All I want is to get back to gingerbread and be official so I can be all set to get any future updates if we are so lucky to get one? I'm not expecting an update but I'll be happy with the phone in gingerbread with stock rom, I had my fun with custom roms, dont care for it anymore. I didnt do any back ups, and im currently on 2.2 everything stock.
Can anyone help me? Point me in the right direction?
back up everything you want off your phone to your PC. This will wipe everything. Follow the guide exactly.

Ok so I went to CM 9 and it changed my kernal. Then I went to nandroid back to stock and it kept the CM9 Kernal not the stock one. Any Ideas how to go back to the stock kernal?
Yeah see my thread on restoring back to stock, warning though its a ball ache but easy to follow. Just take your time.
