[Q]Kernel needed to restore Gingerbread nandroid backup - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a nandroid backup of my Stock firmware which was 2.3.6
But two days ago, I flashed to Froyo using RSDLite so I could install MIUI
But even the pikachu edition didn't fix the battery bug so I decided to revert back to my nandroid backup but the phone wouldn't boot (which im guessing is because the phone was then on froyo kernel)
So I downloaded a gingerbread SBF from one of the threads here and flashed using RSDlite, and which turned out to be 2.3.4. This is giving me a lot of bugs(most of the apps don't open after few hours of usage). I still have my nandroid backup of my stock 2.3.6 ROM
So my question is:
Can I change my kernel to 2.3.6's version and restore my original nandroid backup?? If so can anyone please link me to the proper kernel
Thanks!

Try the Kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494231

Thanks, but right now im on 2.3.4. So should i flash this kernel?

Should be fine. I flashed 2.3.4 kernel from ms2ginger 2.1 and i can use 4.5.1-134DFP188 just fine.

You can try doing a full wipe before restore nandroid.

Are you sure that is 2.3.4??!! Its 2.3.6!!!! BL6.. DFP-1321 is 2.3.6. Did you do a data wipe from stock before or after full SBF flash?

I did wipe and then flashed.. it was 2.3.4 in system info

You need not downgrade! Just download nandroid back up of MS2ginger 2.1. Boot into recovery, full data wipe/cache, davik, and restore system+data,boot,devtree and recovery. !! Reboot !!
To upgrade to MS2ginger 3.0, boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and restore system only.

No You cant install it directly. Because it contains only system partition and is meant for upgrade from 2.1.
Install 2.1 first then 3.0 system partition restore.. Just an additional step.

by the way, my defy is green lens
any other opinion?
I installed it directly from cm7. In the original release thread there is no word about downgrading it first to 2.1 . Now my Defy is bricked
Alright you realy have to install 2.1 first. Works for me now.

what version of cm7 do u installed, would it be the bootloader problem?
your 2.1 means android2.1 or ms2ginger2.1??
my cm7 is stable version with 179 kernel
Now i am more hesitating...
i send a pm to walter... but no respond...
Actually the whole ms2ginger flashing is explained in complicated manner in official thread as well as everywhere..it would be very helpful if someone posted noob step by step guide for noobs like us..just like there was noob guide for cm7..please can anyone take the initiative? ..u can keep it short, but keep it simple

Don't worry, walter doesn't respond to my PMs about DFP-188 and DFP-231 either.
Do you have kernel from 2.2 rom or 2.3 rom?
Oh and btw tell me your cwm version that you have right now in cm7. If you have v4.x.x.x, you cannot change directly to ms2ginger. If you have v5.x.x.x it should work fine.
Hi.
I am currently on android 2.3.6 ROM ( nandriod backup) by adi4motion. my defy has green lens. can someone explain how to install walter rom on greenlens defy. I tried to read many times but its very confusing to understand for someone like me...
Any help would be appreciated.
when i wanted to go from miui to ms2ginger it didnt work but after i flasht an original rom and then ms2ginger it worked like a charm - so i think thats the best way if something doesnt work

I m also on same ROM and now want to install MS2Ginger. Can I directly restore nanodroid backup via CWM? will it work?
Installed
Finally after 2 days, thrice flashing full SBF, I was able to install ms2ginger
here, what I did? (specifically for Defy with green lens)
1. Flashed full SBF (froyo kernel)
2. Installed Pikachu Edition 2.2.10
3. went to CWM and followed all the instruction given in MS2Ginger - Android 2.3.6 thread
run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
Go to "Recovery"
Go to "Latest or Stable or Custom Recovery"
"wipe data and cache"
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Go to "Advance Restore"
Select "MS2Ginger3.0"
"restore system"
Go to "install zip from sdcard"
"Install "MS2Ginger-Greenbread.zip" via install zip" (only for defy with "green" soc camera and froyo kernel)
reboot.
run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
Go to "System"
Go to "Overclock"
increase VSel3 to 58 (GREENBREADMOD-froyo kernel installed)
reboot
Booting up can take a while, max is about 10 minutes.
Charge your phone to 100% and keep it charging for min 1.5 hour after.
Done

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.

Ok i'll try this later
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

No it works man. Tried a different cwm this time. Backed up successfuly and also tried to restore it. Worked just fine. Thanks all. And also for the roms. Ill check it out. And im pressing the thabks button

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
in question number 2 i used cwk moded by skin-1980 (its up to you if what cwk you will use, Just look here in the forums and test the best and suits your needs)

Do you flash defy or defy plus? since motoginger has gb kernel you have to flash defy + build or defy build together with latest froyo kernel.
Did you make a factory reset?
Please post whats steps did you performed?
Which Defy do you have Normal Defy or Defy+?
Did you wipe CAche and Dalvik Cache?
Which Kernel you were using?

Tell me what SBF you flashed.
And you said you have red lense and used froyo kernel. I guess that's why you have problems. You should have used GB kernel
You will need to follow this thread, first post strictly and put attention to where its written red lense and perform the correct actions.
But before that in order to get your phone up again you will need to flash some GB rom, but again, i need you to tell me which SBF's you flashed so far??

Download a stock ROM from our backup here: http://qrac.zapto.org/Stock_ROMs/
"U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04%28Normal%29.rar" is Android 2.2 Froyo
"U8800V100R001C00B518G001 (Beta1.0)(Overseas Normal)(Gingerbread).zip" is Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread beta.
You will find the installation instructions inside the .zip or .rar file.
(I'm guessing you have made those Nandroid backups using an old CWM version.)
