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.

Hello Everyone,
I have in the last 3 or 4 days joined in the rooted party of phones. With the Stock 2.2 rooted ROM on my Incredible i have tried a number of Circle Battery mods without success.
Thanks to the people that did a walk through on nandroid backups and restores i have not completely broke my phone.
With the above being known i apologize to anyone that reads this and says to them self "IDIOT!!" but i have a few questions I'm hoping i can get some answers on from other people with Incredibles.
1. If I install a different ROM like Cyanogen or Uncommon Sense to get the Circle Battery mod working will i be able to get back to my stock 2.2 rooted ROM using the restore like i did before?
1a. Is doing the ROM update done just like installing a mod "recovery-->install from .zip-->choose .zip"?
2. Is the Stock 2.2 rooted ROM worth staying with?
2a. If not and Verizon comes out with 3.0 or whatever the next number is can i go back to the stock ROM?
3. Does anyone have any known working Circle Battery mods for the Incredible running stock 2.2 rooted? ((I'm looking for something like "Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen") (SCB with %, Version Z, Custom type, colors--> A.))
Thanks for anyone replying.
I'm no expert, but I believe the reason the battery mod doesn't work with your stock ROM is because in order for those types of customizations to work, your ROM must be de-odexed. This is pretty standard in most custom ROMs but is not the case with stock.
As for your questions:

Yes, but when you do the restore everything will go back to the way it was before you flashed the new ROM. You won't be able to restore and keep the battery icon. When you create a nandroid backup, it's essentially a complete snapshot inside and out of everything on your phone.

Yes. Be sure to wipe data/cache when flashing a new ROM though, otherwise you will run into problems. Always have a nandroid backup before flashing anything new just in case!

It depends on what you are looking for. Many ROMs include additional features, performance tweaks and customization options not available with stock. I'd suggest trying a few out to see what fits your tastes. If you're looking for something similar to stock with all the junk removed and ability to add things like custom battery modifications, I would give Virtuous a try.

For the most part, I would just stay rooted, as you'll most likely be able to get an official 3.0 ROM leak before Verizon gets an OTA out anyway. However, there are ways to revert to stock and unroot your device if you really want to. A little searching of these forums can provide you with a guide on how to do this.[/QUOTE]

Wow... thanks for the information XideXL i think i will try a few other ROMs like your suggest and just keep my nandroid backup on hand should anything go bad.
Bought captivate from craigslist, from a guy who works for HP and said he got official AT&T 2.2 ROM on it from a buddy of his.
Attached screenshot (taken from another captivate) - Is it official AT&T or a mod?
JI6 is the unofficial 2.2 leak that all of our other 2.2 roms are based off of. The official 2.2 rom hasn't been released yet.
Can I upgrade to official ROM when it releases?
Or do I have to do something to force it? I don't want to be struck with this version if it's unofficial
ODIN usually gets you back to stock as long as you have the 3 button combo
The official firmwares are utter garbage.
Sent from my Captivate.
There is currently no office release of 2.2 (Froyo) for samsung captivate!
There however are a ton of unofficial copies of the unofficial leak.
All unofficial copies still use a beta version as their source, but if it works ok for you then I would not roll back to 2.1.
Personally, I stayed on 2.1 due to the 2.2 bugs that bothered me.
That's a leak we've been using for a while. You can go back to the current stock ROM with the tools in this thread.
Can you point me what bugs I can expect?

There's a whole thread about 2.2 bugs in the General forum.
There isn't really any way to just 'downgrade' back to 2.1 without losing your data. Your best bet is to install Titanium Backup, Rom Manager and the 2e recovery.
The 2e recovery will allow you to use Rom Manager to boot to the clockwork recovery where you can do a Nandroid backup of your rom, in case anything breaks while you are flashing 2.1.
Titanium Backup will backup all your apps and whatnot. You would use the ODIN one click 2.1 installer to go back to the stock factory 2.1 install, which will also wipe your phone clean. Then you would install Titanium Backup again from the market, and restore all your apps that you backed up before you flashed back to 2.1.
I knew craigslist had the "official" Froyo update!
Swyping...please read slowly!
I don't mind losing data, what is the quick way to go back to 2.1?

Read what you quoted - Odin One click will get you back to 2.1. Read the captivate bible thread in the dev section.
So I want to do the new sw update but can't because I deleted some stock apps so the checksum wouldn't match and a hard reset won't restore them I guess so I would flash a stock rom but am I right thinking there isn't one yet? So how can I get to an original rom and then update or maybe make the new update work?
D2G stock rom
I don't know if the update will be compatible or not but from my understanding this is pretty much the stock rom that Motorola handed Verizon to put all their bloatware on then release the phone. I did load this rom on my d2g and it works flawlessly. Might be worth a try, not a direct link but will get you headed in the right direction. The rom manager gives you the opportunity to load the barebones stock google rom or the Vanilla based version, it just downloads and flashes, works perfect I didn't even have to re-activate. It is already pre-rooted so maybe the update won't work but I just wanted to make you aware of it. I work at verizon and did the update to the floor model and my dad's stock d2g also and didn't notice any difference really. I think vzw is just fixing some of the bugs that they created anyway so having the stock rom may end up with the same result, a rom that functions perfectly, good luck!.......droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/106629-rom-fission-2-4-droidx-vanilla-generic-android-aosp-like-fission-rom-manager.html
@evil yeah im kind of in the same boat, let me know if srensber solution works for you.
I froze a bunch of apps with Titanium Backup and renamed some stuff with Root Explorer. I recently just re-named everything i changed back to the factory stuff (bak -> apk) but it still doesnt seem to do any good.
I did create a number of back ups using Rom manager but i cant seem to find out where they are located and how to restore them. hmm. Not sure what to do.
Ah i realize what ive done wrong ... i didnt know you had to have bootstrap installed along with clockwork recoveryy in order to make a backup hmm. Going to need a rom of stock d2g lol.
clockwork recovery installs a boot hijack, which might be the culpirt

I cant seem to find the download link anywhere... and after you loaded this rom did you try to update to 2.4.3 ?
If anyone else has any input about this please help!
Ok, so I just purchased a rooted G2x off of ebay. I'm coming from a moto cliq (yes, make fun of me) So i'm a bit over my head when it comes to custom ROMs and such. I'm on 2.2.2, and need to know what I should do.....
I've been having some data connection issues even if i'm on Wifi, the connection will just drop and won't come back for about 15 seconds. It's getting pretty bad, and i'm exasperated atm.
Do I upgrade to the LG 2.3.3? I don't want to lose my camera's features.
Do I install CM7? will that fix any of the touch screen issues and connection drops?
In your opinion, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
I'm open for all suggestions.
I would go for the update because it updates the baseband which deals with radio signals and may help with your connectivity issues, i would TRY CM7 for a bit and see how it goes. You can backup in Clockword Mod Receovery and when you restore to that backup you will have exactly what you backed up from. So backup on 2.3.3 --> install CM7 --> try it out for a few days ---> restore if you dont like/keep if you do.
heres a link to the LG froyo camera working for stock 2.3.3

Thanks for the reply. I'm still a bit confused though, when you say install 2.3.3 and backup(is that the stock 2.3.3 from LG>). Does that mean i'll lose my root? and I was under the impression that CM7 was GB, just a custom build with root permissions.
Lastly, how would I install the LG froyo camera?
Thanks for the help

Doing the official update may help because it upgrades your baseband.
You'll lose root until you restore you CM7 backup.
CM7 is GB but there is no way to update the baseband currently (that I know of) without doing the update.
You can't currently on CM7.

Again thanks for the quick reply. If i used CWM via NvFlash to backup my current image(2.2.2 rooted) and then updated to 2.3.3 via LG GB. Would I be able to go back to my 2.2.2 rooted if I didn't like 2.3.3?
Thanks to both

Mister Hat
You would be able to. But I was suggesting that you update to 2.3.3 (official) and then install Clockword mod recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847&highlight=clockworkmod) Then backup from there (2.3.3) and flash CM7 (based off of 2.3.5) and if you dont like THAT then restore to stock 2.3.3.
Another option would be to update --> install clockwork mod---> flash this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748) Which is a rooted GB. This would leave you with a stock 2.3.3 ROOTED, if you like the stock.
Overall I'd definitely go for CM7 though. More features just great overall. Also if you're looking to overclock then it IS possible with the stock GB thanks to Faux (http://twitter.com/#!/faux123) flash the latest G2x kernel on his twitter. Then you can overclock.
Bottom line I would just backup your current 2.2.2, install 2.3.3 through the LG updater (be careful following instructions in doing so) and just flash different ROMs and see which ones cure your issues best and which suits you best.

Yes. After the official update you will have to flash clockworkmod recovery again, but then you can flash any rom you want.
Hi there, my friend is coming round soon and I was planning to give it a custom rom
Now, I've done this type of stuff before (on my nexus) I just want to see how you would do it for this samsung phone
Now, what recoveries can you get? I use 4EXT on mine
And, can anybody send me to a stable and up-to-date rom that can be used everyday and has nearly no issues? I need one without all the samsung stuff, just a normal default android one
And, how would I go by rooting the phone?
On mine, I used the zergrush exploit, does it work for this phone??
If you want one with everything working, then use the Froyo roms. CM7 is under development. The major bugs are bluetooth and youtube hq. Leaving that, even thats useable. It's even better than Froyo.
I suggest you to try either Kyorarom or Kyrillos v9.6. Both of them are froyo based, pre-rooted, and have other mods to make it even more faster than a stock one.
Happy flashing!

No need.
This is something to good to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414
BTW to root the phone use super one click root (or sth like that )
Ah, I get it now, thanks
Just one more question, does ODIN delete the phones data before installing the rom?
You have to wipe all your data after flashing(or not if from Froyo to Froyo)
I mean from recovery. ODIN don't delete user data
I exactly I don't know the working of odin, but after flashing you are directly taken to the recovery and advised to wipe data and factory reset.
