I am on GTG's GB ROM V2.0.2 but want to go back to Froyo v1.5.3 as i am seeing some issues like phone freezing way too often. I had backed up V1.5.3 using ROM MANAGER. Can i just go to CWM and install v1.5.3 backup? OR do I need to go to stock ROM 1st? Any help is appreciated! Dont want to brick my infuse
For whatever reason my back ups did not work (i think it is a number of variables like pit this vs pit that and green vs red clockwork but didnt spend much time on it)
sooo.....i did the 1click back to stock.. Super 1click root basically staryed over...reinstalled recovery and then flashed my backup.
I am still playing with the whole "why cant i just restore a back up" but dont have much time this week to mess with that this week

The easiest way to backup using titanium backup, and then flash 1.5.3 using CWM and then factory reset using CWM. I have done this many times, and am willing to help you if you need.
THIS WILL DELETE YOUR DATA.

Just went back to Odin - Stock ( Root+3e), then installed V1.5.3, nothing was deleted from SD card... just the apps
Will now only upgrade to GB once ATT releases GB, had too many issues with Roger GB!

For some reason every time i try this it results in boot loops...
You have gone from gtgs gb build back to froyo many times?

You cannot restore a froyo backup from a gingerbread cwm recovery. You need to go to stock first using gtg's unbrick. Then I suggest after the first boot to do a factory reset from the settings within the phone not cwm. Then root and flash a froyo kernel using sgs kernel flasher from the market.
After that you can restore a backup with no problems.

That's exactly what I said above...but loglud is either misreading what the op is trying to do... or claims to be doing so from cwm...
Just realized tonight that if you use this file in this thread...you go back to ROOTED stock, with modded 3e recovery...takes a few steps out if you are just trying to get back to rooted stock

That's right.. need to go stock.. this is what i did
-> From GTG's GB V2.0.2, went to stock ( root+3e recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
-> Then install V1.5.3 froyo in CWM. Wipe data/factory reset for safe side. Just the Apps get deleted.. Data on Internal SD is not wiped.

I can confirm that this method works, I just did it......just follow gtg's instructions for performing a full installation if already running a custom rom.....be sure to do your backup first!

trying it now...I think the factory reset is the step I was missing
edit: indeed..that is the step I was missing
Thanks guys!
1. Back up current GB rom
2. Flash Froyo ROM
3. Factory Reset via CWM
4. Boot
5. Let system settle
6. Reboot into recovery
7. restore back up of said froyo rom
worked like a charm
I have CM9 + matr1x kernel on my phone right now; can I simply install the stock jellybean zip on top of everything (followed by matr1x for JB) or should I wipe everything first?
Wiping ensures you have a clean install. I personally would. Just make sure you make a backup
Nandroid, and full wipe whenever switching ROMs. Some argue other wise but it is so easy to do why not? Titanium Backup restores apps...easy.

You cannot restore a ROM of a different version of android than the one you are running.

It mean that i should first flash 4.0.3 than restore the stock rom

check this "funbook gizmolord" website... goggle that words and check the website...
The way you're stating things is off, so I'm assuming you mean you created a Nandroid before flashing the new Rom? If so then yes, just wipe data, wipe cache, format and remount system and then re-flash the stock Rom by whatever method your devices uses.
I have installed CM10 rom and I want to change it. It will not let me can someone tell me what I can do
Change to what? Another jb Rom or an ics or gb Rom?
If another jb then download your Rom to your phone, boot to recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvic then flash
If ics or gb you will have to Odin or heimdall back to stock...jellybean is in a different format (MTD) then ics and gb currently the only way back is heimdall or Odin to a stock firmware

I'm assuming you want to downgrade from an MTD version of CM10? If so, you're going to want to revert to stock and install a custom kernel and CWM recovery so you can start flashing again.
Here's how:

First of all, forgive my sluggishness as i didn't use TWRP to backup the previous rom and flash the new one.. I used clockworkmod..
So now other than having /0/ folder, i can't restore the backup because cwm recovery can't find it..
But apart from that im still fine with this aosp rom.. I was going to give it a try after all..
So what are my options? Is there a way to get cwm to read the backup?
Or, If that's not possible, if i flash twrp recovery then use it to cleanly flash a TW based rom, can it read the new storage format?
EDIT: i had the CWM backup copied to my SDcard, it restored fine now, carry on
Mod please close..
