Im using cyanogen 6 RC2 and tried also RC1 and have major battery draining issues ive tried everything
At this point anyone know how I go back to the stock 2.1 EPE54B build (ATT 3G bands)?
Thanks for any assistance
your phone is rooted so all you need to do is look for a 2.1 Rom from your phone forum and then flash that Rom. This should take you back to 2.1
Also if you did a nandroid backup before you upgraded to 2.2 then you can boot into recovery and do a nanadroid restore to take you back to 2.1.
If you do not have a nanadroid back up then that is why we always advise to do a nanadroid backup before flashing any Roms....

I use titanium is that ok? Also do I need to flash the radio back to the older one or can I keep the froyo one?
EPE54B update zip should be ok from here right? Also if I do need to flash back the radio can I also use the files from here?

Ok titanium is ok, but before you flash back to 2.1 I would recommend a nandroid. A nandroid back up would restore your entire system/os just,in case u need to restore your system.
About the radio: you do not need to flash back the radio, this is not required.
Now you can use any of the stock 2.1 rom of your choice from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744605
What I would have not ks this:
1.Titanium back up
2. Nandriod back
3.wipe data, factory reset, etc
4. Flash 2.1 rom
Reboot and u are back to 2.1 stock
Remember do not flash back the radio

Sorry for all the questions but I know with CM you need to also install google add ons for the market and maps and such. Is that also the case with this? Or since they are stock they automatically come with it?
NP. Anything that's stock will be included in the rom. It may not be the latest version but you will have an option to update once you lunch the market.
Also u,are doing a titanium backup so anything that's missing you can get back. Once you flash back u,can,check,to see if you have those apps, if u don't then just install and run titanium backup. You can run a restore operation to get all missing apps +data.

Thanks. Too bad I can't find the manual stock 2.2 in order to install it and try. On 2.1 I would get the Ota update request but it would fail saying invalid signature. Think it's cause of my recovery image.
Went to CM V5.0.8 and havnt had an issue since so there is a bug somewhere in 6 since a few other people are having similar issues as well
Hello everyone!
Is there anyone out there with a backup for the stock 1.18.401.1? I don't mind if there are apps or something installed, those can be erased but I need the stock one.
I really need it for something and it's quite urgent.
I also would like this in ZIP (ziped IMG) or RUU version. Especially to extract RADIO to this thread.
My phone came out of the box with 1.18, had stock rom with few mods (launcher and apps only) but the latest backup I had got corrupted and if I do restore it the phone remains stuck at the HTC logo
have you tried reset in bootloader without restoring your backup?

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it. This is stock ROM right?
Hello guys
First of all, I'm new in here, so I don't know much stuff.
I recently got my transformer and wanted to check out the Android Revolution HD rom. Before flashing it, I made a backup using CWM.
I tried the rom (before installing it, yes, I did the superwipe thing) but didn't like it because the gps issues. I wanted to go back to stock and did again a superwipe and then made a restore from the backup.
When I rebooted my tablet, the configuration screen came up and started freezing and rebooting. I tried re-flashing the backup but it kept going on with the crashing and rebooting stuff.
I've been searching far and wide on how to go back to stock and I have found just the nvflash but my serial starts with B70 so I know I can't use it.
I decided to reflash Android HD Revolution because it's the only way the tablet will work, but I would love to go back to stock so I can use the gps properly.
So, Is there any way I can go back to stock? If this means something, I live in South America, so I assume I need a WW thing or whatever that means
Thanks in advance for your help
There's a flashable rooted stock ROM here

Thank you vyer much, I had seen that thread but since it said the following:
This will not work unless you have:
1. clockworkmod
2. STOCK firmware (root is fine)
3. the US or WW firmware
4. The appropriate prerequisite firmware (e.g. the latest firmware before this update)

I thought it wouldn't work.
Would you mind helping me understand the rules for flashing this version please? Right now I'm running Android Revolution HD 2.3.0
Thanks again!
Reboot into CWM recovery
Clear data and flash ROM. You can use Titanium backup to save apps and data if you don't want to lose anything.

In my understanding that is not a (complete) ROM but just an OTA update for a stock rom. Cannot be used to replace another ROM.
That's the same thing I understood from the ROM flashing rules.
I guess there's no stock rom that I can flash? It can't be (or can it?)

Steps 1 - 10 will get you a stock rooted ROM.
OK this is the link that has the full ROM. CWM flash-able.

Baseballfanz, I've already tried that one, but it didn't work. Thanks though.
Neidlinger, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction! If I ever find another GPS problem (since I haven't found one since I reflashed Android Revolution) I will use this tutorial.

Hi all,
I'm sorry about my stupid question but I really don't know nothing about that . I had rooted and flashed my NS and installed the matr1x kernel (very good btw), and now I knew that JB will be available to NS. My question is, need I back to stock kernel to receive the update?
Thanks

You have to understand that installing an OTA (official update) on a rooted device regardless of what kernel can cause problems, as it did with my Nexus S before. I suggest you make a NANDroid backup at all times before you install any ROMs, official or Custom. You can also use Titanium backup and others.
There's still a slight while until the new JB 4.1 comes out. It's suggested that you install a Custom JB 4.1 ROM for your Nexus S as though you don't cause any problems. I think it's OK if you do it with the kernel pre-installed. But people always install the Custom ROM THEN they install the Kernel, I think installing a new ROM always overwrites the kernel, if it comes with it.
EDIT:
In short, wait for the JB Custom ROM and you don't have to revert back to stock kernel, when you do the update it will automatically overwrite. Most Custom ROMs come with Stock/ordinary kernels. So then the user can flash whatever kernel they like in your case, matr1x.
Wish you the best of luck, and I am waiting for the Nexus S JB to come out as soon as possible
Ota binary patches the boot image iirc. So it can get all messed up.

A NANDroid backup is a internal memory backup. You can create one by booting into Recovery (Power off your phone and Hold Power and Down on your volume buttons.) If you rooted your phone and unlocked your bootloader (that's what you had to do to flash a new kernel), you should be able to load ClockworkMod or TeamWin Recovery and do a backup of your phone.

There's one rom but it's a port from the SDK and the amount of major bugs is high so it's not recommended but you could try another custom rom meanwhile, I can't go back to stock after trying custom roms, like AOKP and Cyanogenmod 9. Make sure you backup your apps and some settings (not everything will be compatible between stock and custom so pay close attention to which system setting you'll backup) with Titanium Backup.
To sum it all up for you
There's a Jelly Bean release which is unstable and has no sound, and will not be fixed until the REAL version comes out.
NANDroid backs up the whole internal memory on the phone including the system, it can be done from clockworkmod recovery.
Titanium backup, backs up specific settings and information that you choose, available from the playstore.
You don't need to unroot or go back to a STOCK kernel in order to flash a CUSTOM ROM. DO not however flash a STOCK rom after rooting, as at times that can cause problems.
If you want to go back to a STOCK ROM after rooting a device, there's a way, check this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
and choose your Nexus S model: To acquire model, go to Settings - About - Baseband version. if it says I9023 at the start that's your Nexus S's model
Choose one of the Fastboot Stock ROMs and use the Fastboot method to flash the ROM. That is a good way to go back to STOCK ROM if anything bad happens
By the way you should expect the new OTA official 4.1 update for the Nexus S to be on your model's page.
NOTE: Using Fastboot to flash a ROM is very clean. However this will delete all your data and if you do everything correctly will lock your bootloader and unroot your phone. So use Fastboot only when you really feel the need to.
Cheers
and stay tuned for Jelly Bean :victory:

That means, when I receive the official 4.1 update notification, I should unroot my phone first and just install it after?

OK first off, do not install the update using the system update method from about, as that is a 100% stuff up if you're still rooted or on a Custom ROM.
However to update I think flashing a stock ROM but USING Clockworkmod works fine!
Someone please confirm, as I am not 100% sure
However what I am sure about is that if you run into any troubles installing your STOCK ROM using Fastboot is very very good and clean, however there are 2 things:
1. You will wipe everything COMPLETELY
2. You need the ROM to be in a fastboot format kind of way for you to flash it
There's a guide and everything for fastboot.
---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------
Personally I will wait for a custom ROM for 4.1 if it doesn't take too long as that's guaranteed and will obviously be faster and safer to install on a ROOTED device.
Someone still confirm if installing Stock ROM while over Custom ROM while ROOTED through CWM is OK or not!?
Hummm, ok...
I'm already using the Stock ROM, I just flashed a new kernel, and I prefer install the stock kernel and unroot my phone. Just to let it clean.
After I install the JB official update, maybe I flash and root again, depends of Google :laugh:
Do you know where can I download a trust official 4.0.4 kernel from the forums? My phone is a Nexus S I9020AUCKJ1, Version Number: IMM76D

1) Rom manager is not compatible with Atrix 2. I would not use it. Why do you need it anyway??
You can use Atrix Bootstrapper to go into CWM recovery . Rest can be done there. Or you can use Boot Menu Manager.
2)Of course! it will still be there! the backup is saved on your SD Card. So as long as you don't format your SD Card. It will be there.

Rom Manager does work with Atrix2. If you're on Stock ICS, you can install CWM on every boot, then flash the Bionic recovery through Rom Manager. That will allow you to use the 1 touch backup in RM, just hit backup rom and everything does what it's supposed to.
Here is the CWM on every boot for Stock ICS.

when i restore to stock fom JB, it means downgrading the firmware right??

No, your Recovery will be wiped after you flash a new rom, but you can install it again and restore your ROM.
But when restoring a rom, make sure you ARE ON THE ROM you are restoring.
E.g. If you flash JB and want Stock ICS back with your backup. First flash the Stock ICS from RSD and then restore your backup from CWM on it.
Or Vice-Versa.
@41rw4lk, Thanks for rectifying that. I did not bother with Rom Manager much.

I don't think any recovery exist after flashing a new rom. We have a locked bootloader, so we can't replace the stock recovery.img, all of our recoveries hijack the boot process to work. CM10 and PA I believe have a built in recovery, and that's about as close as you'll get to having a recovery exist after flashing a rom.
As far as restoring from JB, I believe you can downgrade to ICS, but you'll have to look at the JB thread to be certain. I'm on AT&T so I haven't had an opportunity to try JB (officially). CM10 is based on JB, but for our phone with the locked bootloader, it's more of a pseudo experience and is based on our ICS framework.
As for bricking, there is always a chance to brick, that's part of the mod game, but if you read and pay attention to what you have and what you're doing, you'll be alright.

UNLESS you have AT&T phone you should be just fine with ref lashing the ICS.

Yes. I will say though, if you're on an AT&T branded phone with AT&T firmware, do NOT try to flash the new JB FXZ. It doesn't matter who your carrier is, it matters what firmware your phone is using. So, if you're on AT&T then you need to make sure that the things you flash are for AT&T, or else you will brick and that will be then end of that.

there's a few, you'll just have to look. Most of the time, if something is not meant for AT&T, the devs will post in the description that it isn't compatible. If you want stock ICS back at anytime, you can do yourself a favor and make a backup of your stock ICS all setup the way you like it, so you can restore if needed. If all else fails, there is an Official ICS FXZ that will get you back to stock ICS.

You're killing me smalls. You're on ICS already, you're not downgrading anything, nor can you downgrade ie. Gingerbread. There is no Official JB for AT&T, so that's not an issue. CM10 is a JB based rom built on an ICS frame, (for our phone at least), and again, you're not downgrading.
To make a back up, boot in to CWM or whatever recovery you're using (not stock), and click backup. You might hit up the noob thread to get an idea of the terminology and basics for our device. Not trying to be rude, but you're running yourself in circles. You got to walk before you can run.
