Ok, so I'm currently using bionix 1.9 with stock kernel. I really want to flash bionix fusion with kingxklicks kernel, from what here this is a great rom.
My question, is there anything I should know about flashing this i.e. going back to stock rom? Is there anything I need to do before flashing this?
If I decide to go back to stock rom can I just flash with odin? Do I have to flash stock kernel before flashing back to a stock rom?
Can anyone just let me know, I would like to be prepared in case anything does go wrong.
Nope, you should be safe to flash directly over your current rom. As a precaution, if you have Ryanza's OCLF, you might consider undoing the lag fix... not saying it is needed but more often than not, most people who have a problem start off with saying " Help, I just tried flashing (xyz rom) and now I am stuck at the bootscreen. I had (abc rom) and OCLF before... what could be wrong?" Any other questions be sure to consult the red text in my sig.
Ok cool, even then I have been stuck on the boot screen a couple of time. Odin fixed that problem.

Other than making a nandroid backup and maybe a titanium backup, you should be good to go ...
Fusion 1.1 is a wipe ROM so may want to backup your apps ....

You can search.
Well now that you've unlocked the bootloader there really is no point in going back to a stock rom. Might was well flash Cyanogen on it.
Ok apparently in my futile attempts to OC the Pure Hero 1.0 Rom I've totaly got something hosed up. The phone works but features that others have working flake out on me. Is there a way to wipe fully the whole thing and reset back to the rooted 2.1 Rom as we did before the Recovery image.
If it is as simple as just flashing the original developers Rom please don't flame me..I did search.
I do a factory wipe then Dalvik Wipe then Ext Partition wipe before flashing an image.
I currently can't get Wifi to work on Punk.Kaos Rom nor on the Pure Hero (I think that was an issues though)..
Thanks for all the hard work you guys do....
copy a rom you want to use to your sdcard. then go into recovery, wipe the phone, then flash zip from sdcard. done!
That is what I have been doing and some of the settings are still flaking out and the Kaos rom is V15 he fixed wifi in v2. I can't even get Jamezelle's sensable rom to even flash with out a boot loop at animation.
Thanks for the help.
No nandroid backup?? I know before flashing the first Rom on the phone I made a nandroid back up on my wifes and pretty much do everytime before flashing a new rom. These things are priceless
Follow the the original root procedure.
*Suggestion*, when phone boots.... open setcpu and adjust the CPU OC setting.... maybe...
id say go to the downgrade to 1.5 from 2.1 root thread and do that and then re upgrade and reinstall the recovery image.
I agree with doing a full downgrade to 1.5 and rooting again. I had problems similar to yours and this solved the problem. Good luck.

Thanks I just wanted to confirm that should be the process of going to 1.5 thne to 2.1 and restoring the Recovery. One last question and then a Mod can close this thread. The Rom Manager in the Market will that work for us or is that a Droid only thing?
Thanks for the great advice.
Forgot to answer the nandroid backup yes did it before every new flash of a Rom they would come back weird also. Secondly how do I get my SD card back to full Fat32 and not the ext+Fat partition for A2SD mode? I never could get the A2SD to work fully.
EDIT: Ok so I flashed it back to 2.1 stock, i'm gonna try flashing Bionix again, is there something I should do before flashing it? Am I in the wrong version or something? Help!
Ok so here's the situation:
I was running Axura 2.0.3 or something and things were ok, but I wanted to flash to something better, so I downloaded the Bionix Frost 2.2.1 ROM and flashed it. It didn't have any of my contacts or SMS so I went to flash it back to my last backup, which was 12/15/10, and Axura. I go to Clockwork Mod, and run the nandroid backup and now when my phone boots up, it goes through the screens, and freezes on the Galaxy S screen, then everything turns black and when I touch the screen, all the bottom buttons light up, but nothing happens, and the only way to get that to turn off is to pull the battery.
Is there any way I can fix this? I have Odin, but i'm not sure exactly what to do here.
flash a kernel. nandroid does not restores kernel.

First things first, calm down.
This is not hard, but it can seem that way if you freak.
Did you read the guides? Did you download rom manager, flash cwr, go to stock recovery and reinstall packages (twice maybe)?
i really think it's about flashing a kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So what kernel do I need? I'm back at full 2.1 stock, and I want to get back to my Axura 12/15/10 nandroid, do I need a kernel?
That axura is 2.2 right? So any 2.2 kernels should be fine,
flash nandroid then before rebooting flash kernel.
In the phone information it says my Kernel is 2.6.29? It says firmware version is 2.1update 1.
If I just want to flash to Bionix, do I need to update a kernel or can I just go straight ahead and do that?
yes. you don't need to flash a kernel when you flash bionix.
You only need to flash a kernel when you are restoring a nandroid backup.
Thanks, you helped a lot.
One last question: how do I move my contacts and SMS over? Whenever I flash a new ROM I seem to lose it.

What if when rebooting to recovery re-installing packaged always end up in failure? Should I go ahead and flash a rom?

Hey so I've been flashing roms for awhile now with no problems... But the other day I odined back to stock... Now after I flash any rom when I use the power button to try to wake the phone up to get to the lockscreen it takes forever for it to wake up... But this only happens after I flash a rom.... Doesn't happen on the stock jfd rom..... So I know its nothing wrong with the button itself....
And also after flashing custom rom and booting into recovery from cwm the recovery will be red not green and I can't restore any nandroid backups....
So anyway... I haven't done anything different than I have in the past as far as flashing goes but now my phone is jacked!
If anyone knows why this is happening I would greatly appreciate any help!
Thanks

This happened to me the other day and I could not restore a nandroid either. Still don't know what happened and I haven't even tried to restore anything b/c I don't want to have to Odin back and rebuild everything again from scratch.
When I was on Cincinnati Bell stock Froyo, I was able to root and install CWR with the green recovery and screwed something up and was able to restore just fine. I have since flashed Toxic8 which comes with the Red Recovery and through some self-inflicted stupidity, caused an unrecoverable bootloop that I couldn't clear, wipe or restore. That is when I had to Odin and rebuild.
Interested if anyone else knows why this is. Wonder if I could download CWR from market and use that as opposed to the Red Recovery that came with the ROM?
The red cwr is for voodoo enabled roms make sure you disable voodoo before flashing roms that do not include voodoo lagfix.

I knew that Red was for Voodoo, but would I have to disable it to restore the same ROM, just a backup? With the Red Recovery,I haven't been able to restore anything at all. In fact IIRC I did try it with it disabled and it didn't work that way either.
I'm looking for a guide or some directions to downgrade back to froyo. Do I have to go through the process of odin, or can I just flash a 2.2 rom over my passion ics rom?
You have to Odin, DONNOT just flash it over. If you need additional help, post it here

Ahh..thanks for the tip. Odin back to stock then root, and get 2.2 flashed. On a side note I'm unable to make a backup with rom manager is that common on all ics roms? Its one of the reasons I'm to go back to 2.2.
That's a kernel issue. Try a new kernel and backup should start working again.
Edit: Actually ROM Manager never worked right for me either, but rebooting into CWM recovery and backing up manually had never given me trouble. Try that.

I would strongly advise against using Samsung kies to upgrade to 2.2. If you have gb bootloaders installed its a good way to hard brick your vibe.
odin is the best way,I think
safe&convenient
Is there any way to Odin without a USB? My factory cable is messed up and wont connect my phone to pc. Thanks.
