Anyone!? I really need some help arround here...
I can't remember which thread, but if you search around, I know there is someone who posted a nandroid backup of the Rogers ROM in a wiped state.
EDIT: I think the first link here is it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534464

oh dear think you need more reading on flashing roms if your asking what is nandroid
Nandroid is a program that is used via recovery mode to back up your entire NAND Flash (i.e., ROM).
"nandroid" --> NAND + Android = nandroid
Maybe this will help? Read the comments following instructions:

I have a BELL Desire Z which I rooted, S-Off and then flashed with the HTC Sense ROM from Paul O'brien. I am having more issues than anything so I want to know how I get back to the stock ROM.
I take it you dont have a nandroid backup? You could try that RUU method, it usually restores your self back to stock. I have my stock nandroid iimage lying around if ya need it.

The bell rom posted is .1, not the .5 version that's shipped.. so I don't think it's the same. So the RUU method wouldn't work..
I did a backup, but will it reset all my personal settings etc?
Is there a stock released ROM from HTC or bell or even an update on the way?

Be careful ! Do not try to flash an RUU that is older than the ROM you have, if you have S-OFF or you could end up bricking your phone - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484
You can use the "debranding" guide in the dev forum to go back to an older ROM if you have S-OFF.
In about it says the software is 1.34.405.5
What do I need to do exactly to get back to stock safely.

If your current ROM is 1.34.405.5, then you should be able to safely use either the stock 1.34.405.5 RUU, or the ROM extracted from that.
It's if you're trying to flash a ROM with a lower version number than that you're already running, if you're S-OFF, that you'll run into problems.
Thanks for the info, is there anywhere to download the stock Bell ROM from? Alot of these threads are confusing for a n00b like myself with all the abbreviations and different versions.
I basically want to get back to stock, root the phone, delete the bloatware and overclock it.
I was wondering... if you made a nandroid backup after having done some app installations and such of the stock rom, and you flashed back to that backup, you'd have your original ROM with all the app installations and settings you set right? What happens if you then proceed to do a factory reset? Does the ROM revert back to stock? Or does it simply revert back to the state of the ROM when you made the backup?

Although several stock ROMs are on this forum, unfortunately it looks like the current Bell ROM isn't there, only an older one. It would obviously be very useful if someone could get hold of it and upload it.
You can do a factory reset to set everything back to how your ROM came initially, if it's still on the stock ROM. But if you want to delete the bloatware and overclock etc, you may well be better flashing a different ROM, have a look and see what ones sound good.
My question is sort of along the line of that of the OP, since I'm somewhat new to this process still I hope you'll humor me. I've done a ton of reading, but I still have a few q's I couldn't seem to find buried in my research...
I have a Bell Desire Z, unlocked, rooted, S-OFF. I installed ClockWork & flashed the recovery partition and did a nandroid backup of my stock Bell partition. I then did a wipe / install of the non-sense G2 ROM Paul put out and have been using it (and enjoying it) quite a bit.
I think I'd like to try a Cyanogen ROM now, is it really just as simple as flashing the RC3 (doing a complete wipe, obviously) and then I'm good to go? I can then just restore apps/settings with Titanium...
If I want to revert back to my original Bell ROM, do I just restore that ROM from the nandroid backup I made as soon as I installed ClockWork?
If I'm on Pauls G2 Rom (or Cyanogen's ROM), and I do a 'factory wipe', that just resets the factory settings of that particular ROM right? It wouldn't take me back to the stock Bell ROM would it? (very sorry if this seems noobish)
Thanks folks.
Anyone?

Yes, you can wipe and flash Cyanogen. Yes, you can restore apps with Titanium. However, I don't yet understand how this works with "system"-type apps. e.g. what if you are using a different SMS app in Cyanogen to the stock ROM, can you restore your messages ? Of course if you are restoring an app that you installed on your stock ROM, to the Cyanogen ROM then Titanium should do it fine.
If I want to revert back to my original Bell ROM, do I just restore that ROM from the nandroid backup I made as soon as I installed ClockWork?

Yes, it just takes you back to the factory settings for that ROM that you're currently on. It won't take you back to the original ROM that came with your phone if you've switched to something else.
thank-you very much steviewevie I was hoping you'd respond! I appreciate it. It was the vote of confidence I needed to proceed.

You're welcome. I was pretty confused by what Titanium did at first, until I actually came to use it (along with a Nandroid backup) to do a backup of all my stuff and restore (using Nandroid) after I'd temporarily reverted to an earlier ROM.
I need to revert back to the stock Bell Desire Z ROM as well but didn't make a backup.
Hey guys first i'm sorry that i've been so inactive here my girlfriend is trying to teach me to draw x3 (I take my time)

the last recovery 3.0.2.4 works with any backup i have tested myself and if you have any problem try restore in parts in advance restore. If you **** up with the recovery means you have flash it wrong but honestly there is not way to **** that up but if you want t be carefull then run
fastboot erase recovery
... and then
fastboot flash recovery recovery_xxxxxxxx
if something goes wrong wich i doubt it just reflash recovery partition .
Cheers!
Thank you very much both of you two<3
could anyone give me the link they used so i'm sure i do it right xD?
i put the images in c:/android right? and then i run fastboot and use the commands as i'm used too right? =3

Guys my question is how do I do it?
Odin back to JFD then flash your 2.2 rom with clockwork recovery
you HAVE to odin back to jfd first. there is no way around that. then install whatever rom you want.
and no, you can't odin any other roms other than jfd. the other odin roms have missing info that doesn't allow them to do a repartition.
If only someone had written a guide for this....
/sarcasm.
Check my signature.
oHH WHAT THAT WAS YOU lol
THANKS
Ok other question is...
Will all data and apps be errased or will they be saved with a nandroid backup?
You need to backup using titanium backup if you plan to restore apps.
Having a problem coming from the Nightlies TRYING to get back to 2.2. I'm back on 2.1 but Kies will not read my phone.
OMG don't do kies....you obviously don't read much about kies lol
have the same question
I was on Vibrace 2.2 Rom and took a nandroid backup before installing cm7 stable.
Now i am having call issues on cm7 and want to revert back to 2.2 using my nandroid backup ?
Can I just go into recovery and restore my backup ?
If not, how do I go about it ?

kies WILL NOT WORK to undo voodoo lagfix and kies WILL NOT WORK to go back to a Samsung rom from an mtd rom.
YOU MUST ODIN JFD! There is NO OTHER WAY. Period!

CAPITAL LETTERS aside, Geo is right. Kies is notorious for bricking phoned. Don't use it.
Odin is what you need and should be one of your basic programs that you would use regularly if you intend to flash ROMs.

Kies also won't get you to jfd, which is required.
Also, the capital words are for emphasis, because the same thing is being said over and over in this thread, and the same questions are being asked over and over again.

No worries man. I agree wholeheartedly.
There should be a thread that just says "Don't use Kies". Sticky and lock it.

hey guys,
i have a big problem. i just flashed the newest cm7 nightly for my i9000 and now there is no baseband version anymore. i tried to flash a lot of versions but its still "unknown" and therefore no connection is able.
i also tried to restore my old nandroid backups with a working baseband version but didn't help.
can you please help me to get my phone working?
ty in advice
Treat it as a fresh install. Flash back to froyo to restore your baseband then flash cm7 again.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
but isnt it possible to do something else?
and have you a good howto for me? ty!
Baseband unknown is probably a corrupt IMEI, If you made the efs backup before flashing CM7, then restore that, and make sure you have a compatible modem (i had this issue with MIUI yesterday)
Then after restoring the efs backup, reboot, and that should fix it.
If not then as mentioned above, do a fresh install.
Search for EZBase / EZROM to flash back to froyo. and then follow the installation procedure for CM7...
always have a current backup of the efs,. leave a copy or two on your PC, this will save you from having to do this whole fresh install again
trust me... i learned the hard way.... 3 times lol
mhm it seems to be the IMEI stuff. once i did an efs backup while installling the cm7 with a script called something like efs_backup
where can i find this backup and how to restore it?
ty man!
does someone know how to restore the IMEI. I did a backup before and i think i found the folder: /sdcard/backup/efs

Yes thats correct, copy the NV_data.bin and the NV_data.bin MD5 to /efs using root explorer or similar.
once done reboot and check when the phone boots back up.
should i delete all files in the directory /efs first before i copy those 2 files in?
another hint. i tried to backup the efs and then installing a fitting modem:
when i try to install the modem (JVK - definetly working before) i get this message in cwm: asser failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin","radio") insallation aborted
so can help me?
ty
Ok first of all, copying the relevant items from /backup /efs to /efs will just overwrite, so no need to delete - you can if you want.
as for the modem issue, maybe it was a bad download, try re-downloading. Also, make sure THAT particular modem is compatible, there have been some issues with the latest CM / MIUI releases, there is a link somewhere to all modems for this specific release..
EDIT: here are the modems for the latest release of CM / MIUI http://codeworkx.de/download/cyanogenmod/
I have a feeling in the end you will find that just going back to froyo first is still your best option.
