Hi everyone, first I want to appologise in advance for my noob question,
I have a LG E-900 (optimus 7) from Vodafone Italy, yestarday I flash a Original ROM but unbranded (the one from europe found here on the LG Optimus 7 section), the thing is after I flash this ROM I can't manage to get the Mango update anymore, when I try to update to 7712 everything goes well, it downloads the update but just wont install....
Now my question is: I have a full backup from my original ROM (the one that was on the phone when I buy it), is it safe to restore that backup keeping in mind that now the phone has a different ROM?
Thanks in advance.
Normally if you restore a backup it overwrites the ROM completly if you made the backup right.
And another Question about restoring a backup:
If I made made my phone HSPL and flashed a custom rom
do I have to OSPL the phone to restore a backup i made of my original ROM?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have the same question... If I have DFT RTM MANGO with HSPL or RSPL, Can I restore my backup of orginal firmware?
you can try restore the worst thing that could happen is it would be unable to restore in the event that happens u need to flash original rom... when having hspl u can flash stock roms as they do include ospl(which will flash and remove hspl) but u cannot flash mozart 4.xx or any ruu mango roms while having rspl/hspl or it will ruin phone !

Hi, I recently tried flashing my defy (mb525 from Israel with an Israeli ROM) with Chinese Froyo, flashed the phone and it wouldn't boot, was like that for a while and I tried flashing many versions in hope it would unbrick him, no joy. Long story short now i have a Defy with 2.3.4 (shadow-128, not the fixed version, the undowngradeable version).
I thought maybe finally trying to restore a nandroid backup, but I don't have CWM.
Questions are:
Is there a way to install CWM through a zip file?
Can I restore a Nandroid backup without CWM (or any sort of custom recovery)?
Any other solution that can save my phone?
Thanks Y'all,
hope I will finally unbrick that bastard.
Read this for downgrade and root.

Didn't work, just like all ROMs before, it shows the moto logo, then shows, motoblur, or android or any other animation (depends on the version), and its stuck on that an not starting the phone.
if you now in 2.3.4, cannot downgrade.

it works!
Your device isn't bricked. You only have a bootloop.
Like already said, Downgrade is not possible so you should flash a ROM with your Bootloader-version and make a wipe.
I need to change my device back completely to stock for warranty purposes
(i did a nandroid backup on my stock rom after s-off & installing cwm)
& i would like to know how i can change my 4ext recovery back to stock,will installing a stock RUU restore my stock recovery?
(i dont prefer installing the whole RUU as there is no stock India RUU on the forum)
thank you very much
I have problem with restoring my stock recovery...
I`ve use revolutionary,CWM 5.0, than Revolution HD Rom, Nanodroid itd... S-off ofc
I`ve used Nanodroid and I have my system.img; recovery.img; data;cache; etc
I have some stock ROM with TMobile custom from Germany and I cant find RUU (exatly the same) on www :-(
I easily restore my system.img and I go back from REVOL to my stock ROM, but i really need to restore my stock recovery... and lose CWM 5.0 so i can bring phone back....
so big Q...How to do it without using RUU.exe ?
Hi. I rooted my phone with this tool: http://www.unlockroot.com/
I wiped my current android and tried to install a rom (not matter what rom i try, it's stock on the HTC logo when booting)
A nandroid/cwm backup might be able to fix the problem (I'm not sure) but i don't got one, and it would be very appreciated if someone could take a backup and upload it
Do you mean you need to flash back some stock ROM you had on the phone before wiping the data?
What about to flash (via CWM) some of the pre-rooted stock ROMs available here:

Try to run an RUU and then put you costum roms on you´re device again
I prefer this RUU "RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed".
Hi @ all from Italy! Sorry for my bad english and for this post here...but i have 0 messages and i can't post in Development Section.
I have HTC ChaCha italian TIM 1.57.903.3 brand. I have S-OFF, root access, and CMW Recovery.
QUESTION: if i want unbrand it and install ota 1.54.401.2 from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361595
I must:
- uninstall CMW Recovery and install stock recovery
- install fresh ota 1.33.401.1 unbrand
- install fresh ota 1.54.401.2 unbrand
all right? passages 1 and 2 must be do in sequence or i can do passage 1 OR passage 2?
other question: if i have some problems can i return to my original ota 1.57.903.3 tim brand? How? Where can i find it? Is possibile that i see this ota on htcdev.com site with ruu file?
Thanks for your help and your development work!
If you are S-OFF and you have CWM you can just flash a new ROM without any other steps. Simply put the .zip on the SD then select install update from SD and then select choose .zip from SD card.
Remember to wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache before, especially when switching between ROMs.
Also, to return to your previous ROM you'll need a nandroid backup from CWM.
Hi, thanks for your reply! Other idea:
Can i use the fresh cwm 1.54.401.2 backup of this thread (last link of post...)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361595
I restore this backup and i have a fresh and clean 1.54.401.2 image...right? Without SU and root enable...right?
And for backup my actually italian tim brand version i make a backup from cwm recovery yes...
Good idea?
