There are plenty of stock images in the development section. I would use those instead of trying to make my own. Just my opinion.

Don't know if it will help but theres a post that has nandroid unrooted backups of froyo and the Gv update... you could download them with your phone then do the usual wipe data process and restore one of the backups.... hope this helps..

Gtg section on rom manager not working

My phone has been completely f'ed all day. So far ive restored 2 times. Ive tried to start all over by downloading infused than installing gb rom (the order in which i did it the first time) but when i go to the gtg section i get a pop up saying contact dev. I than used the roms from my sd card. I flashed infused 1.x.x, it flashed fine but all of atts crap apps were still there. Next i removed voodoo folder and flashed gb rom, that flashed fine, seemed anyway. When my phone rebooted i thought it was all set besides the fact i had no notification pull down and no status tools up top, att apps still present. I did the updated gb non rainbows update when it came out but that wasnt what i just flashed and i have no idea where its at. Im lost and pissed.

Gtg took the links down because people were *****ing about network speeds. So he's trying to fix it. Should be up tomorrow

This is one reason I don't use ROM Manager - I keep multiple backups of anything that might be important.
Cool, as far as my other issues go with flashing, should i download new roms when the link is up? Not sure why the ones on my sd are so messed up

I just read a post a few pages back.on the dev section where someone had a similar issue. But no i didnt, i never had the option. I booted into recovery and selected rom from my sd card, it did its deal than i selected reboot. Other times ive flashed i recieved a pop up asking if i want to wipe data and such, i didnt get that message.

Nash if u boot in to recovery it doesnt prompt u to wipe dalvik and cache you have to volume rocker down to them wipe both then install the rom. If you download from romanager you get promted and the option to wipe!
hope this helps

It would have helped if I still had roms on my sdcard. After using the unbrick tool a few other things wernt working (app download and gtalk) so I made myself do a system restore...lost everything. Now I'm at the mercy of the devs. Can't wait for the links to be up.

Did you recently run the ultimate unbrick or flash a ROM?
Wipe data.
I had that issue after using the ultimate unbrick.

Factory data reset and you'll be good to go.
Don't forget that your internal SD card will be formatted so move anything you don't want to lose to your external SD card.
Samething happened to me yesterday after using unbrick. Factory reset worked

Last time I did a factory reset through rom manager it didn't delete my internal it just deleted data and all system stuff

You want to do a reset thru settings/privacy on your phone. If you do this you will lose everything on your phone besides root. This is what I did and its been working fine.

I believe he means the unmounting issue. I have the same issue, I cant restore a backup or wipe the system when I flash a new ROM in cwm. It sucks.

Ah. I got that too when I was using GB. Wouldn't actually mount or unmount any partitions right? Really annoying. Didn't try bothering with it it too much so I'm back on Froyo
The problem is that it won't mount system. One thing you can do is re-install the Rom zip then do a advanced restore of DATA only in CMW.
WOW GEE THANKS MAN! haha but jager beat ya too it just reflash the rom you backed up and just restore the data

You can try my rom.... catyrom or any of the i9000 ports...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I currently have tried refuse 1.7, caty 1.0 & 1.5; currently running caty 1.5. I would recommend caty rom, the only thing I notice is the data sometimes cuts out and I have to restart my phone, also it shows the rom as "caty v2.0" in the "about" section of the phone, but the post says 1.5 so I am not sure what it is. But it's very simple to install and to run. Just make sure you follow directions to a T. When it says to let it reboot and sit for ten minutes actually do it. DONT FORGET TO HAVE A BACKUP IN CWM. Make sure it's rooted, I tried to root mine with Superoneclick and it didn't root properly, I had to use the odin with 3e recovery and root preset, then I was able to install roms. Good luck to you.
Yea...sorry...need to fix build prop...lol...keep forgetting to do that...and the service cutting out may just be the modem...

Are you using ROM Manager? if so, that is probably why you can't get it to work. just 3 button into recovery mode, go to backup and restore, and click backup. It should take a little while to work, and you can watch it go through all of the files as it backs them up.

Do not use rom manager!! When you transfer ron from computer make sure you send it to your 14 gb SD card and it will show up...do not flash anything or download any roms thru rom manager!

It is also helpful to create a folder on the SD card named "1 rom" so you can keep all your downloaded roms in one place and then you also don't have to scroll far with the volume keys since the folder will be at the top of the list all the time

Don't ever restore system data with titanium backup. It can cause issues. Only restore MISSING apps.
