You can restore the old version. Nothing bad will happend. Your phone will be as if you never installed that buggy Lollipop ROM.

By the way, is there anything I should do such as wiping and other stuff before I restore the nandroid backup. Any risks of bootloop ? Sorry for taking ur time. :

You don't have to do anything except press the "Restore" button. The backup does the rest of the work.
Same thing for backing up. No need of anything.

Nandroid never works for me... what am I doing wrong?

Ok. So ever since I've had this device it's been rooted and as such, i've tried a number of roms. The problem is whenever I start with a rom I really enjoy (currently the stock one... go figure) then i do a nandroid back up.. try a new one.. to find some glaring shortcoming i just have to have (a2dp) and try to restore my nandroid. On my G2 this process was absolutely seamless!
What happens is i restore nandroid... but it doesn't restore my apps... all the space is definitely gone.. like they're in teh file system and cards... but they don't show up in teh launcher and my wallpaper is back to stock... just as if i had a stock device.
Any ideas?

Does this happens with all your nandroids or only one specifically?

So far... none of them have worked. however... they all happen to be backups of the stock rom.. don't think I've ever tried restoring any other rom.

What version of CWM are you using?
Sent From My G2x Running CM7 Nightly 70
Are you initiating the backups thru rom manager or directly from recovery? If you're initiating them from rom manager try booting directly into recovery and then making a backup.
I'm using 3.0.2.7 (the one that rom manager tells me to use). but i always backup while booting directly into CWRM because as we all know... Rom Manager doesn't see the external SD but CWRM does.
I would reflash CWM again.
Do a Nandroid, put it in the sd card and try restoring again.

I think your problem is that you're using rom manager. Try doing it the real way (nvflash).
Rom manager is great on phones in which it doesn't use fakeflash, but I would stay away from the program on phones in which it utilizes fakeflash.

[Q] deleted phone app, havent made any backup

hello guys, so i bring this verizon phone to Indonesia and use local operator with help of some apps, i'm rooted and using 4.0.4,
lately i got this problem says "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" when trying to call, but i still can text and received calls well, i do all the tricks about deleting sync, etc, nothing worked, the only thing that could help is factory reset, so i reset it. After a few days the problem show up again. Instead of posting question in this forum i accidently deleted the phone file from titanium back up, now even after factory reset i can make any call and the problem seems spread.
i havent made any recovery, so i pretty doomed, i havent touch android since milestone 1, i really need your help for this,
1st, how to bring back my phone with all apps and component 100% work
2nd, i still cant found answer for "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly"
and i tied to application like "phone info" so the phone will work with local operator, and i read in this forum the apps wont work in jb, so maybe i avoid for using jb for now,
thank you,
With no back up you can't bring it all back.just the apps in Google, if you've backed up your contacts to Google then that can be saved, but if you did no nandroid backup then not much To do, if factory reset didn't help maybe bad hardware.

will flashing with custom rom help to solve the problem?
Yes doing Odin should help, just follow to the t..
Once your back up and running after you root first thing make a nandroid backup, also back up your imei .not flashing custom Rom,Odin flashing will help

[Q] Need help, no service!

Hello, everyone! I recently had installed the Open Kang Jelly Bean project on my LG P500, and lost the opportunity to use calls/texts. I learned that my baseband is "unknown". Is there any fix for this?
Try to make full reset, reinstall SIM card.
Maybe you lost EFS directory...
Do you have any backup of your system?
Try to go back to stock rom.

[Q] How can I switch to Stock ICS Rom OR to another Custom Rom from CM10.1 ?

How can I switch to Stock ICS Rom OR to another Custom Rom from CM10.1 ?
Cyanogenmod is awesome, but I want to switch back to stock, or possibly on another sense based rom if I like one. How can I do this?
EDIT: Question has been answered, thanks to all who supported me on this thread.
Just flash the ROM you want in recovery like you did when you flashed cm 10.1
Here's stock ICS with improvements: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14191938

Ok, so I have a nandroid backup which I did in Stock firmware. If I go to recovery and do full wipe followed by restoring the backup, I will get stock ROM with all the apps that were installed at the time of making backup, right? Same can be done in to switch to CM rom?

wow it's easier than I thought. and really thanks for your quick replies, thanks button will be pressed after the comment are posted.
I am also running CM 10.1 and because of some hardware issues want to revert to the STOCK ROM (not any custom one similar to it). Problem is, i did not create a nandroid backup of it. How do I go about it now?
PS my phone is HBOOT 1.29
Reboot recovery
Format all partitions except SD card.
Flash ROM.
Reboot
You can also do an RUU. Look here and do step 2.4 to find your executable ruu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26541170

Thanks for the quick reply, but can you tell me where to get the stock ROM too? Is it available on the HTC website? I have searched other posts but there seems to be no link for HBOOT 1.29
Here's arhd 7.2, a modified and improved version of stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14191938
Hboot version doesn't really matter. It's just the way the phone boots up.
If you want to revert to complete stock, no modifications, no improvements, then I would run the .exe ruu file from your computer. Here's the links for the .exe files: http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid
Make sure you download the right ruu (XE or 4g) for your phone and the right country/carrier for it.

It has happened both when I'm charging and when it's not plugged into anything. It happens worst, and most often when the phone heats up, which is a big issue with CM. Part of the reason i wanna switch back to Stock ROM is to prevent any permanent damage to the internals with this frequent overheating. The battery stays cool, mind you.
My personal laptop's motherboard got fried yesterday so i'm just gonna wait until my exams end in a couple of weeks, and then get a new one and change the phone's ROM. I promise to update you guys on what happens

I had mentioned charger because i have a China charger and when my phone is charging and i lay it on a flat surface it touches itself everywhere whenever i touch somewhere. this happens to me due to incompatible charger. however i still charge with that charger. well this is my problem, yours is different.
I am not sure but I think there must be prominent links on Google containing stock roms. I have never searched for android but Nokia used to have dedicated softwares and websites for this.
And a free advice: if you want sense then try viper s Rom with sense 4.1 and android ics. (the one with jb doesn't have a working camera). I am using this and sense 4.1 is really good.
it is laggy though.

[Q] Go back from EOS4 to EOS3 or rooted stock 4.1.2

I have xoom 604 running latest EOS4. I have issues playing some old games that played fine on EOS3 155. I'm planning to give this tablet to my father. He will be using it mostly for web, book reading and some gaming. So the questions are:
1. Should I downgrade back to EOS3? If yes, anything I need to watch out for coming from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 running latest TWRP 2.6
2. Should I keep it at EOS4?
3. downgrade it to rooted stock 4.1.2
Thanks in advance

Sorry I dont have the answer but Im also looking to go back to a stock Rom. Do you have the stock rom or a link to one.
I went back to EOS 3 v155 and very happy with it. There is a link to rooted 4.1.2 stock. I would never go back to unroot.

Why is root so necessary, Perhaps cause im old now and dont mess with my devices like I used to Im missing something. At this point I just want reliability over anything else. Been using EOS 3 stable and its locks up and acts weird initially just about every time I go to use it.
Because I can back up everything and remove ads. Try 155 it's better, but do a fresh install wipe everything.

Thanks for responding, Its been a while since I did anything what do you mean by wipe everything.
In recovery do factory reset. You can backup users(only) apps with TB. After install, let android restore your apps and if you need restore backed up apps+data from TB

Back up your apps( not system apps) with TB. Find BT back folder and copy BT backup folder to your computer. You might have to copy TB backup folder to download folder first before copying it out to pc, eitherwise you may not see when connected to pc. Wipe everything including internal storage in TWRP. In TWRP mount usb and copy latest working EOS3 and EOS3 gapps into the Xoom. Install ROM and GAPPS. After first boot google should restore all apps you had installed before than copy TB backup folder back.
Hope this helps.
