We also have flashable zips for Stock ROMs i think. Try them...
Anyways, why do you want to go back to Stock Rom? I personally consider it a resource hog.

Flashing Boot is not necessary. But I would recommend to flash boot. Otherwise you may get bootloops.
Can anybody say whether restoring boot is necessary or not??

ok since we getting more roms and have hellraiser over there opening the door. i have ALOT of nandroid back ups.
now having never had to actually use one of these i wanted to know somethings.
is a nandroid like a Rom, i just have to flash over another rom, or from stock and boom i have that Rom back with all my apps and info.
or do i need to load up the rom then nandroid on top of that for it work??
just have never had a use, but i would like to go back to some of my prior setups.
A nandroid is a system restore basically. If you fubar something and can get into recovery you can restore that nandroid to exactly where the phone was before. You don't need to flash anything just be able to get into recovery.

A nandroid will reflash system, data, cache - everything. The only thing a Nandroid won't flash is a kernel if you're doing a major change (e.g. Froyo to Gingerbread or either of those to CM7 - while it's also GB, it requires special kernels.)

ok with that said, you should flash the Kernel before the nandroid to make sure there is a compatible kernel there for the nandroid to use??
basically match up froyo roms and kernels and visa versa for BG before i decide to flash a Nandroid?

Yup, that would be a good idea - since if you restore the nandroid on an incompatible kernel, you'll have the phone be very unhappy. (Will refuse to boot.)
Much thanks E.........appreciate the time bruh.
this can be closed.
I completely failed here E, i tried to restore a nandroid. i loaded the Infusion GB Kernel then proceeded to restore the nandroid and just get boot loops no matter how i do it.
any thoughts??
Hmm I think I need to look at this later in the week. Starting to sound like Nandroid might be broken in red CWM.
i got it, but i had to load the Kernel - Rom - then do the nandroid. but that kinda of defeats the purpose in my eyes....lol
but yea, if you find something that would be cool to know E.

1. IMHO, you should extract necessary settings or data and restore to your new rom. You can use AppExtractor
2. No need to delete everything before restoring
3. Your choice. There is touch version out there. Try and love it

Thanks for your reply i really appreciate it.
i was saying that if i wana go back to my stock rom (original rom) wich is not rooted can i restore it using CW?
if i flash back to my stock nandroid backup using CW my phone will not be rooted and it will restore the default samsung rom?
its just my theory though i haven't tried it yet i`m asking question like this for my future reference
Well...
Yes your device wont be rooted and will return to the stock rom.
Since the nandroid backup copies the whole partition. just like Norton Ghost does on the pc, so your phone will just go back to its exact status it was at that time.
You wont need to wipe user data/factory reset, because of the data partition being restored by CW.
Well you are asking for a recovery. How did you make a nan backup if you have no recovery?
Or you used the stock one? if you used the stock one, aren't you able to use it to restore?
Or do you want a new more powerful recovery?
As in the previous post they mentioned, use the one you like, with the most options

what phone model/ can you enter recovery/download again/ do you have a rom/stock for you phone ?
well you have to reflash it
Hi,
If you want to flash a new rom, you should do a factory reset first. Here your /system gets formatted anyway, as far as I know. So don't worry.
Just go back to recovery and flash your rom.
If you don't like it, you can always restore your backup, that you have made.
Cheers!

Hi,
I tried to modify the build.prop file of my LG Optimus 2X to simply disable the animation during the boot. It didn't really worked well because my cellphone is now looping during the boot. I think I saved the build.prop on my sdcard but now I don't know what to do...! I tried to hard reset and wipe date, but it's still no booting. I have clockwork mod instal.
Thank you!

Well, first, I'd like to ask if you have a CWM backup of your system before you edited your build.prop? I assume that since you can wipe the data, you can reach CWM. If you can and have a backup, try recovering that backup and see if that works. If you do not, then you can always try to find an RUU (ROM update utility) that should return your phone to an unrooted, stock ROM. I don't know of any other options, all I can say now is become best friends with that search bar up there.
Hope you manage to get your phone back. :fingers-crossed:
revert to stock, oh just reflash whatever custom ROM you have been using (if you have any), you should be able to mount SD card from CWM and copy your ROM in there and flash away. I am under the assumption that since you were doing your DIY mods there, you should have knowledge of flashing back to stock or Custom Roms of choice. Good luck.

guys i delete a preinstalled app and also made some changes to settings. now my phone starts only in recovery. i havent any backup. if i backup stock rom in this state, which parts of the backup rom i should edit to make it rum?

I guess you might have deleted some other important files along with those pre-installed apps which is causing bootloop or not starting at all. So taking backup at this state is useless. Only reflashing a fresh stock ROM is good for getting it revived.

Reflash with stock rom.
I guess thats the only way to recover from boot loop.
Why don't you try custom ROM instead? Way better than stock ROM. If you don't want custom ROMs, I would suggest a clean install of stock ROM, don't attempt to modify.
