[Q] Switch between ICS and GB Nandroid backups?

Hello all,
I was wondering can i change between a nandroid backup of an ICS install (say darknight) and a gingerbread nandroid backup.(say stock w/ rooted kernal)?
or do both nandroid backups need to be the same base?(ICS or GB)

Same base as nandroid required to restore.

U can. But u should flash to stock first. After that u can use restore frm backup.

ICS Roms run a different file system to Gingerbread Roms. As mentioned in the previous post if you wish to restore your backup you would need to first flash a stock rom then restore your backup over this.
The process is to use Odin with the 3 files (phone, pda, csc) and the 512 pit file. You will also need to have repartition checked.
You may also need to flash stock a second time using the 3 files. The 2nd time don't use the pit file and make sure repartition is unchecked.

[Q] Least effort phone reset :-)

Hello, I need to go back from LP1 ICS (imilka) to stock rom, which is the easiest way to do that?
I do not have a Windows PC and no PC Odin for that reason, could I flash one of the stock roms with Mobile Odin?
Many thanks

Hi, as far as I can tell the procedure goes like this. You flash AbyssNote http://www.mediafire.com/?o2yi462tby2lzan
Then you restart recovery. Now full wipe and then you can flash stock rom or restore your nandroid backup. I hope this helps.

Also to know how to use mobile odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

Yes you can use mobile odin / cwm to flash stock rom.
I recommend wipe cache n data before n after switching custom to stock n wise versa.

hello,
yes flashing abyss with mobile odin worked fine, had to extract the zImage from the zip file first
will install rom now via recovery when download is finished, thx guys

Just mobile odin is enough
1.extract rom(stock) file to tar.md5 n place on sd card
2.open mobile odin, select open file n point to rom file.
3. enable ever root option if you want to keep root intact
4flash
Done
You need nothing to do with abyss kernel
Still u ned any clearance, download guide from last link on my signature, extract it. You will find a file 'update rom using mobile odin' in new folder.

back to stock rom

iam now on alliance rom and i want to try the original stock rom of 4.0.4
how can i do that?

Download the ics rom and flash it via pc odin

Search button also helps

when you flash your new rom, it is recommended to flash safe kernel like this. Flashable through stock recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

In my opinion the safest way is to flash gb rom and den go for ics.it is my opinion.
Customs kernel are safe but i would recommend you like this.
See if you flashed ics directly from alliance rom and you got stuck in bw den it wud be a problem for you.

actually no need to flash twice. flash ics flash philz or any safe kernel. and do a factory reset.
I would suggest philz cuz it can be flashed from stock recovery and u will get cwm and root as well

thanksafter i flashed the safe kernel can i flash the stock rom from recovery?iits to much work and time to use pc odin.

You can use mobile odin for this.recovery flash is for custom roms.
Hit thanks button please

ok.in mobile odin should i have to put tar file also in kernel option ?or just the rom file.

See if you hv already flashed a safe kernel then i dnt thnk.well pif not den put kernel in kernel and rom in open file.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

in mobile Odin just click on "open file" and select the ROM in tar,md5 format.. it will select all the other partitions automatically

problem after flashing

i installed the stock rom officiel of 4.0.4 everything went good.i finished the proccses and i tried to install hydracore 4.3 kernel from recovery and the proccses aborted.
what can i do?and whay from recovery i just see the files from extranel card ?

You either root following dr. Ketans procedure and then flash Hydracore with mobile odin or just flash the pc odin version with pc odin and then use triangle away
Tapatalking on my n7000

i cant install hydracore from mobile odin because its a zip file.from mobile odin you can install only tar files

Just extract the zip to get the zimage and flash it with mobile odin

hydracore is not test signed so it cannot be installed using stock recovery. you can also use philz temp cwm to flash the hydracore zip.

Once u root ur phone, u can install .zip versions of kernel as well using mobile odin..

when im trying to install philz kernel from mobile odin its says "md5 signatures have been deceted.do you want to verify them before flashing?"
is it safe ?

offcourse

Zipped ROM from Sammobile not flashing

I need to flash a stock ROM on my original Note, so I downloaded a stock ROM zip file from Sammobile and stored it on my internal memory. The current ROM on my Note is the Union ROM LT4, with the latest Speedmod kernel. I went into recovery, wiped data and did factory reset, and then tried to flash the new stock ROM by selecting the zip file, but the flashing fails. I'm not sure why this is happening. Am I missing something?

You need to flash it using Odin( PDA tab ). Unzip the rom file to tar.md5. Phone needs to be in download mode and connected to PC..
