best way to revert from obsidian?

i have a nandroid of ji6. do i just apply that and flash a ji6 kernal? can someone link me to one if so? if not, can someone explain how to do it? thanks.

I believe you have to ODIN the official JI6 release (you can find it in the dev forum). Then you have to root, install ROM Manager, and nandroid your way back to where you were.
The key is to Odin a Rom, any Rom, that has the JI6 kernel.

Odin JI6 and then nandroid.
Nandroid doesn't install the kernel, so you would end up with a "brick" if you tried to nandroid on a 2.2 rom.

thanks guys! loving obsidian so far, but i think i need the signal strength boost from ji6.

Nope, I was on Obsidian and just flashed straight back to Bionic Fusion through clockworkmod recovery (straight, not through ROM Manager), and then Core kernel on top of that. I'm running perfect apart from slow market downloads (mostly my fault I think--accidentally deleted some system apparently and then restored; downloads work, but fussy)

that's because bionix flashes the kernal along with the rom. nandroid doesn't. that is why i asked if i could just flash the ji6 kernel after restoring my nandroid.

ATTN: Don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about.
On to the post:
You can feel free to nandroid or flash to/from anything. However, if your Obsidian install is like many other peoples, you probably can't do crap in recovery. In that case, you need to Odin. However, if your recovery does work, just flash the rom and the kernel (or just the rom, if the kernel is included)

OK ill give it a shot if I decide I don't like obsidian. Thanks.

By can't do crap do you mean can't flash or can't access clockwork mod? (I can boot into clockworkmod just fine)

Ah, sorry. I thought the issue was whether you have to ODIN back to stock in order to roll back from Froyo.

For me the safest was to ODIN JFD, then flash JI6.

JK6 Is So Frustrating!

All i want to do is install a metamorph, and flash a couple things. But i have to go through so much to get these even working. I rooted and installed busybox, but now metamorph says there isnt enough free space in /system. ugh.. and to get CWM working, i have to push 3e recovery so that the update.zip works? wtf dude this is gay.
Im on stock jk6 btw

Odin back to stock ji6 then flash the stock jk6 rom. Everything will work after... I had the same problem. Everything is good now.

JK6 is a LEAK, therefore, things haven't been totally updated for it. And since there's no source for 2.2 yet for vibrant, using another recover for it (2e) is pretty hard. If you want an easy way to get root+busybox+3e all in one, flash the deodexed CWM flashable in the dev section (after ODIN'ing to jfd). You can't expect all the previous methods from 2.1 to work as they did with 2.2...

My phone was having the exact problems he listed. When i tried to use metamorph it would tell me that there wasn't enough space in the system. What i did was odin back to stock ji6 then flash sombionx's flashable stock jk6 threw cwm. Everything is good now. No problems at all.

going back to 2.1

Hey guys i recently put 2.2 on my phone via kies and realized i cant root my phone with 2.2. So i wanted to go back to 2.1 and root it and flash bionix which to my knowledge is running a more customized stable 2.2. Can someone please tell me how to get back to 2.1 so i can do this over again the RIGHT WAY lol. thanks

You can root with SuperOneClick
Check out the Thread by Nothingness00 or you can flash the KA6 + Voodoo kernel on Supercurios post and have root & CWM in one shot.. Dev section

yes...from what i've read you can root 2.2 from kies via SuperOncClick...
but if you just want to go back to 2.1 just for kicks and giggles then flash Bionix-V...
then use Odin to go back to stock...
root..
flash CWM recovery...
then flash Bionix-V

If he isnt rooted then he can't flash Bionix . His only option would be to use odin to revert back to any 2.1 stock rom, but like you said he should be able to root it just fine with SOC.
To the OP: Search, and answers you will find.

He can ODIN one of Supercurios voodoo kernels.. It will give him root & CWM all in one and then flash bionix

i am new to rooting so this all sounds like chinese to me. what is the difference between bionix and the 2.2 i have now. i am just looking to customize my phone. i have never rooted before, once your phone is rooted what do you do from there?

if you updated to 2.2 via kies then you have stock 2.2 Froyo
Bionix-V is a heavily modified Froyo ROM by Team Whiskey...it has lots of performance tweaks and VooDoo lagfix enabled by default...trust me...TW ROMs are gold.

so can i root my 2.2 with SOC then flash bionix on it or do i have to go back to 2.1 first?

You can root with SOC

SOC is not working for me. it keeps giving me an error message after i click root i have frame work 4.0 installed and the drivers for the phone installed as well

ill be here so if u get a problem post it

ok so it says, download rom to root of interal sd, i have my internal sd mounted, just download it into there? i dont see any folder that says root?

Overclock on stock rom after root?

I am a noob so I am learning. I rooted my epic yesterday and was wondering can you overclock on the stock eco5 rom (or any stock rom) if you are rooted. I used the ClockworkMod method described in qbkingg77 video. So my files are converted over to ext4. Thanks!

You need to follow his other video on how to flash a kernel and overclock it as you can't overclock the stock kernel

Ok, you cannot be on stock ROM because it does not support EXT4 file system. So either you Odin'd in a prerooted modded stock ROM or you haven't booted into Clockwork yet to convert to EXT4 and thus sponging your phone. You also cannot overclock the stock kernel. So if you are on CWM 3.0.0.6 and haven't gone into Clockwork recovery yet, download an EXT4 compatible ROM with overclock capabilitied, put it on your sd card and flash it after the EXT4 conversion but before rebooting.
Do you BONSAI?

Light bulb turned on! I was not accurate in what was saying. I am currently running the syndicate rom. I was thinking about odin back to stock, rooting then overclocking before I flash another rom. From reading your post when I root then that is not a stock rom because you have changed the files to ext4, correct?

If you followed his video to root with CWM3 and run SRF then you converted to EXT4 when you ran CWM3. If you odin back to stock and root you can not overclock the stock kernel. Depending on what root method you use, would depend on what file system you are on. If you convert to EXT4 you need to have an EXT4 compatible ROM on your SD card to flash or your phone will not work

I get what you are saying, thanks.

However you can root with CWM 2.5.5 and keep RFS and just change your kernel to Genocide or another with overclocking after you return to stock.

Booted Fine on Incredible 2.
Haven't tested anything yet, but it looks promising.
I'm going to flash it on Fascinate tonight.

Appears I have an incompatible version of CWM Recovery. Rom Manager wants to flash one however it only gives the option to flash an I-9000 version and I-9000 MTD. Is it safe to say I'm better off doing an Odin flash of a compatible CWM instead of doing everything through the Rom Manager?

you should already have CWM installed. when it asked if you installe it manually select yes and then select the cwm 3.x one. then Rom manager will work just fine

2.3.7 ftw... runs terrific on the Fascinate. No bugs or issues yet. Nice and stable.

i don't see much of a difference yet.
Correct me if i am wrong but CM7 has been using 2.3.7 for a while correct?

So the I-9000 version of CWM Recovery is safe to flash on my SCH-500?
edit: scratch all of that. apparently Rom Manager thinks i'm sporting an I-9000 based on the roms it's displaying. Odin when I get home.

CM7.1 very smooth on Fassy. I'm still riding on the kernel jt built for it, pondering glitch but testing the battery on jt's for a day first. Very nice ROM as always
