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.

Hi.
You can't backup your STOCKROM because the filesystem isn't EXT4, it's RFS (ReiserFileSystem) on STOCKROM. CWMR is only compatible with EXT4. If you flash a CUSTOMROM, CWMR will first format the phone to EXT4 and then CWMR will flash the CUSTOMROM.... If you need RFS-FileSystem Support, you need Vishwana's CWMR 3 or AMON-RA.

You can't backup stock rom. But you can have the firmware file with you so that you reflash it through odin if something goes wrong (other than bricking).
Don't ever try to backup stock rom through rom manager. You'll end up Bricking your device. Don't even try to wipe data or cache through CWM if you are on Stock Gingerbread coz in my case, the device bootloops endlessly. If this happens, remove battery & insert it, then flash any custom rom through CWM, then your phone starts normally!!
BEST OF LUCK!!

[Q] Help! Samsung GT I5801 boot Loop on cyanogen mod 7 and AOKP.

So day before yesterday I finally tried to install a custom ROM on my Samsung GT i5801 phone which previously ran Froyo. I didn't know much about ROMs and it was my first time so i tried to use one of AOKP ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548627 ) I don't know why but it wouldn't install using CWN v.5.0.2.8 and I tried to do it anyways using ODIN. It kinda flashed it but it never worked. It destroyed my stock ROM and I didn't have any backups.
Then I found a Cyanogen mod 7 ROM for GT I5801 and I installed it on my phone using CWN. It installed fine but keeps boot looping. I tried everything after that. Clearing cache, Dalvik Cache, and even tried to re-install the ROM using the wipe data/ factory reset and installing the Cyanogen zip file, but it still boot loops.
Today I tried the AOKP ROM again using odin. It flashed perfectly but its stuck on boot loop too. The white screen keeps flashing.
Can anyone tell me of a solution, please?
Any help is welcome.

This worked for me. Make sure you make a backup of those files on your PC before you do this.
you might also want to make another nandroid backup and do it to that one first.

Unable to mount efs on Galaxy s advance

Last night I was installing Cynongenmod 12 lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy s advance Gt I9070 JELLYBEAN Indian version. I used v-root to root my device and took up backup of efs from efs professional, then I was installing Clockwork Recovery from my SD card via recovery mode and something went wrong, it was unsuccessful and from here my problem begins, when I was retrying to install cwm I noticed a error message that "unable to mount efs (Invalid Argument ) " I haven't noticed that and was busy on lollipop instalation but when it fails then I decided to revert back on my sweet jelly bean then I flashed my mobile using Odin to official jelly bean every thing went fine but when I restarted my phone on jelly bean then I saw two errors :-
1 . gapps has been stopped
2. Samsung setup wizard has stopped
After noticing these errors I downgraded to gingerbread and I can connect to WiFi, mobile network and can view my imei no.
Also I have tried to restore my efs using efs professional tool on running gingerbread but it fails.
"CAN ANYONE HELP ME, I WANT TO RUN MY OLD JELLYBEAN"

restoring from adb
Installed cynongenmod kitkat
Installed twrp and cwm so that anything hits up my luck
But didn't get success.

You should do a nandroid backup before doing anything
OK flash your stock ROM via Odin but different version!
Try installing a custom kernel!
In most cases its kernel prob!
If these doesn't help you
Uninstall gapps and install gapps manually:good::good:
Thanks for the reply
But there is only one stock rom available that is jelly bean and I have already tried it and also flashed a custom kernel (TWRP) but nothing helps.....
And it's possible to uninstall gapps manually from stock rom.....
Yes just download a system app remover
You must have root permission and becareful you must know what are you removing!

Have you tried with stock rom+stock kernel no custom kernel everything stock
Sent from my GT-S5830i using XDA Free mobile app
Yes,
I had downloaded stock rom (jelly bean) from www.Sammobile.com and then flashed it using Odin.
I am only stucking at setup wizard which giving me error "unfortunately Samsung setup wizard has stopped" if I will bypass this wizard then, I think everything will be fine and I had also tried the "4 corners tapping trick" but it also didn't help me.
