[Q] Restore

Hello!
I've tried to flash 2.2 on my Epic 4. Everything did like it was supposed to be only problem is I didn't like it. So, I'm doing the restore from my previous Backup.
Do I need to wipe it before restore? I'm asking because I did once without wipe and it is not booting. Doing some sound and showing me Samsung.com. Nothing else.
Please, help me guys.
Thank you!
I think you are ging to have to odin back to 2.1 then restore. I could be wrong.

You are correct. Nandroid does not back up your kernal or modem so you will have to odin both of those. Here is a link to the instructions:
Flash to stock
Thank you! You are a savior.

Np man, I had the same thing happen to me first time I tried flashing dk28. Tried booting a backup and got to just where you are hehe
One more question.
If I want to flash just modem (dk28 as example) and then flash some custom rom what files I need for it? I mean just for a DK28 modem? Can you give me right link for it? There is so many and I got lost.
once you have the dk28 modem flashed you can flash any froyo rom you want. just make sure it isn't a rom with ext4 unless you do that whole process.

[Q] after booting another android rom,can i go back to original 2.1?

if i flash it,and i want to return to original rom,what do i need to do?
Flash with SEUS
Swype i X8
what is seus,and where to download it?
You should have been smart enough to BACKUP your stock rom so you wouldn't be asking this question.

i can restore my Eclair backup. It should be fine, and if your backup doesnt work, try to factory reset.

new to this and scared!

hey guys! sorry be such a newbie.. i have recently rooted my phone and im loving the root apps and all that jazz, i wanna try out some new themes and mods..
my question is.. once you install them.. if you dont like them.. how do you restore back to the original?
Any help would be appreciated! Thankyou!
f*** sorry didnt see the thing about not posting here til now.. delete this! i will go Q&A section
sorry!
Ask a mod to move your question into Q&A.
And to your question, if you unlock your bootloader and push a kernel using adb you'll have a recovery installed, use it to take a backup.
If you only want to have a rooted device with locked bootloader, install CWM recovery for locked BL's and take a backup there.
Easiest way is backup your phone framework-res, and SettingsUI apks.
Flash theme and if you don't like theme, then manually overwrite with earlier backups files over new themed framework-res.apk and SettingsUI.apk.
You can do this over adb, fastboot, or I recommend you "android commander"
No need then mess up with Full rom backup.

Of course your described method is efficienter, but I think for newbies a backup with CWM is a lot easier.

i just saw this thread on the "latest" tab , just do a nandroid backup in cwm recovery , if you dont have recovery then head to the market and download rom manager , andd i apologize but i cannot see what device this thread is under (i am on from xda app) but ask if your phone is supported , or when you click flash recovery it might say your phones name or code name

ROM Manager can't install CWM recovery on our Xperia devices.
We've to install it using ADB and by the way I think the problem is solved either way.
If your device has locked bootloader. Still you can flash your own firmware without userdata partition. Then root device again

you can backup the rom via cwm and copy the file something that is names as 2-1-2012-2- something in the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard and paste in in the same folder of your sisters phones sd card in the clockworkmod folder, and vice versa...give it a try it wont brick
Yeah it works.
I've done that before because I lost my own backup of stock rom when my pc went bonkers. Apparently you need a backup of the backup. Lol.

I'll let you know if its work and i'll let you know if i have some back up problems during recovery CWD.

I tried a few methods but could you tell me how to install CWM permananently on the galaxy y? I have the temporary one. As in I have to flash it repeatedly everytime I use it!
Help me out
Also, I tried backing it up using the temporary CWM it won't install. Quite a long back up goes on for a while and in the end it says "can't mount /data!". Tell me how do I back it up because I'm dying to put in a new rom
Lastly, what roms are there for this phone? Good ones?

There's no permanent cwm recovery for SGY yet, ya i know that's sad!
Good ROMS? Try creeds 2.0 and Hybrid
but doesn't creed's have a lot of bugs? I have seen a lot of threads on XDA saying so.
What about the error while backing up my system? it says "can't mount /data!" in the end and that's it! though there is a backup file generated in my sd card
creeds 2.1 has bugs, anyways, try Hybrid! i didnt try it but was following the discussions and its not buggy!
I didnt have any problem with nandroid backup, may be problem with your cwm! try another cwm and ensure that you have atleast 500 Mb (worst case) free space on SD card

cwm does not have support for sgy thats why we use a moded cmw.
Really your stock nandroid backup failed to mount? Strange coz doky told me it will restore to its previous state.
Best for now based on what i have red is terma roms pda updated to hybrid rom combind 2 roms
But for me ill go hybrid rom its fast, light and stable

1, yes
2, don't understand
3, don't think so, its simple. Maybe... One time I got issue, when the backup was unsuccessful because of lack of free space, but I didn't see it, just realized the problem when wanted to restore.
4, yes, if the backup was made in unrooted state.

Oh By the way
