I am trying to restore to one of the nandroid back ups that I did before. I face with the following messages on recovery:
Checking md5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image!
What is my problem?
Thanks in advance

Bingo. You can't restore a 2.2.1 backup while on 2.3. You're gonna have to Odin then flash that rom as per first time Im afraid.

Good catch! I didn't know that. I just Odin'ed, can I restore after Odin?
Whenever you leave cm7, you need to odin to jfd.
I have a guide, if needed.

Not sure, But I guess not since you either odined to 2.2 or 2.1 while Heathen's rom is 2.2.1 so try flashing it again then restore if you've THAT much data you don't want to lose and haven't backed up in any other way.

Am trying to restore now. The reason I went back is because I noticed Ti backup this time didn't bring my SMS stuff to CM7. So now I want to install SMS back up and then back them up then go back to CM7... oh boy long way...frustrating

Hey how can you backup the factory rom before rooting or flashing?
We can't yet, I've read that clock works is working on a recovery.

Its available around here somewhere so there's no need to be worried about backing up the stock 2.2. You just need to make sure you can use Odin if you want to go back to stock.
is there anything different that u have to do if your flashing from 2.2 rom to 2.2.1 cause i went from bionix 1.3 to frost 2.2.1 and my phone was completely messed up. so any advice / suggestions or is it just the regular process?
Personally, I would Odin back to stock prior to flashing 2.2.1. Have you used Odin before?
ODIN is always a good way to go when in doubt. But you shouldn't have any problems going from Bionix to Frost i would think disable voodoo at the very worst.
What kinda issues are you running into? Is it just the other TitaniumBackup problem you posted in this thread?

A good idea is to back up your sd cards to your computer once in a while. Then do a nandroid back up. Just to be safe. Then you can do your Odin

how do u back up ur sd cards? and whats a nandroid back up?
that sux bro. i know i lost everything once without a nandroid to save me. contacts were saved to phone or SIM card not to my gmail so i lost all of that(I save all contacts to gmail now) and the only way i know of to restore messages is with a SMSrestore app or if you have the paid version of handcent i believe it will restore messages as well. glad you got it back tho!

My x10 was rooted on 2.1 before the .435 update, after i did the .435 update it wont root (z4root)
Im going thru threads to see how that problem was solved but to no avail,
i followed steps set out here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-922931.html but i get stuck on step 7 because flashtool wont recognose the x10 unless its switched on and step 5 and 6 indicate that the x10 must still be switched off. Pls advice
You can use SuperOneclick to root your x10...

hows the CM ROM?
Id like to try out but not sure if ill install it well
It ain't rocket science, and as long as you got busybox and xrecovery installed, there is little you can do wrong..
It's all pretty neat explained in the ROM threads

hey man, you can actually use xRecovery to backup your phone (create a backup) that can be restored at a later date. This way you can backup, flash a new ROM to play/test with, then restore your original ROM when done.
Note: you will NOT be able to restore contacts/apps/settings into the test ROM with this method, for that you will need to use something like My Backup Root before flashing the test ROM.
hope that makes sense

@mrtim123 thanx, now i understand what xrecovery is for, i thought thats what titanium back is for because i backed up when i upgraded to .435. My contacts are synced to my laptop so i can get them back thats ok.
Ive installed the flash tool on my laptop, now i gotta find the CM Installation thread to install.i hear that the CM ROM makes your phone faster and battery lasts longer, will my apps need to be re installed again from xrecovery or will they remain on the phone with the new CM ROM?

You have to do a full wipe before installing the new ROM.
That means you have to reinstall/restore your apps.
And it would be better not to restore data via xrecovery, you can get force close or maybe you have to flash the ROM again
I prefer restoring via an app like titanium backup or my backup root.

depends on the rom.. some require se's files. some dont... depends on the rom.

hey man, when you flash a ROM using xRec (and do full wipe) the first time you boot your phone is like when you first get the phone - no non-standard apps, no contacts, no anything (except what is on your sd card). you will be able to restore apps that you backed up using MyBackupRoot or Titanium backup though, once you have booted into the new ROM.
have fun!
btw - click on CyanogenMod link in my signature for the thread on Wolfbreaks CM rom
Im running [CM 6.1.3]scamble[v1.2] and it runs super smooth. There are alot of good ROMs out there though. Flash, test, and choose one that works for you. Happy Flashing

no. you would need to ODIN back to a stock build with a full firmware, pit file, and repartition selected to get off CM7
also, there is already a CM7 Q&A just two or three posts below that you should ask in from now on.
I just switched over to HTC TB last week. I rooted it and put in Tesla Coil 1.7.1., which runs magnificently.
But I feel I should update it to Gingerbread.
Would that be possible by just flashing a GB rom?
Or do I have to do a manual update first?
Thanks for the help
Everything is new to me now since I switched over from Droid X.
If you have a custom recovery, which you should...then you just flash the ROM (from recovery) and its recommended radio (from bootloader). Oh, and wipe data/cache obviously.

Yeah, I'm using Rom Manager to reboot to recovery.
So if I just flash the ROM and the recommended radio, my system will update itself to 2.3.4?
Would you happen to know how to REVERT back from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 also?
Just in case things don't go well.

Just make a nandroid backup. Then if you don't like GB, you can restore your nandroid backup and flash the old radio back.

Oh wow, much simpler than Droid X.
For Droid X. I'd have to SBF back to Froyo from Gingerbread and only then am I able to reflash my Nandroid backup of a Froyo ROM.
Thanks for the advices!
Time to go ROM hunting
