Nandroid Backup for 16gb model

Hey all
We were trying to flash stock rom on a friends i9100 mobile and stupidly we selected .pit file (yeah I know stupid ,,,,,) It was a mistake and now when we try to flash a rom, odin gets stuck at factory_fs.img. We have checked for brick sectors but everything seems fine.
By flashing a kernel we can boot into recovery, that is possible we have done this. if anyone can plz provide a nandroid backup for this mobile we can restore from that backup. I think that this will work. So please if anyone can help us plz
Regards
Bilal
Flash a custom kernel such as siyah or Dorimanx, boot in recovery, flash custom rom through recovery. Job done

Thanks for you reply. I tried to help him flash Chameleon but it is not working. Any ROM that you would like to recommend, please ??
Maybe I am wrong but when we flashed earlier with the pit file, doesn't it mess up the partition ?? if that is the case will your method work ?? because all customs roms say ( if you are coming form this rom do this, coming from this rom do this and his mobile has nothing)
Thanks
solved, we flashed Resurrection rom and it worked then we flashed a stock rom.

First, wrong place. This is a development forum. Post in the Q & A section next time.
Second, what Version of android are you on now? What method did you use to get CWM?
its android 4.1.2 right now and i had flashed CWM through odin.

And what error do you get when you try to flash a custom ROM?
something like root missing and also sometimes rom not flashes fully and it comes out in recovery.
Did you wiped data and cache in recovery?

help with basic rooting and flashing roms

hello all
i have a gs2 i9100
i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544
it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.
i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.
i tried different nightly version,no success.
then i folowed the official cm guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100
i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.
i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:
i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.
for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.
i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.
what could be the problem?
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
Phone model is gt-i9100
Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2
Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.
I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.
The rest is in my first post.
Appriciate your help.

Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.
When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
Thanx for your reply
Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?
2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?
And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?
Total noob at this.

Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
Thanx again
I read a lot and got a little confused.
Will do what u suggested.
Hope ill get it right this time.
Cheers.

Which recovery are you using? For 4.4 you need the latest cwm, Twrp, or phillz recovery to work. Any older versions will not flash 4.4 roms as the recovery cannot do selinux

just to check, is it for any rom, i can use either cwm or twrp? i have instruction for specific rom to use twrp, but there is no mention of using cwm, can i still use cwm in this case? thanks

so what i want is to know how to do that ?
i searched and found out that i must flash philz cwm recovery.
but i dont know which recovery to flash
please provide me the link or the file.
thanks in advance
Its not mandatory to have philz recovery installed.
Boot into current recovery
Do a full wipe (must)
Flash any jb ROM
Reboot
Anyways if you want philz.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270

I would always flash a JB kernel before installing a JB rom. This is because to remove any incompatibilities between the rom and the kernel. Unless the JB rom already comes with a JB kernel, then you should still do this.
