So i uninstalled CM6, and installed the stock 1.47. RUU I do not have root access now because i want to install the stock 2.2 Froyo. Is it okay that i still have AR as my recovery installed for my recovery? Also, if i was to nandroid to restore CM6 would it go back to being rooted?

If you flash the 2.2 that just came out, you're in no mans land since you'll be flashing a unrooted froyo.
In other words, you will lose root which also means that you not be able to nandroid back..

Having AR as your recovery image should be "okay" although it may get overwritten by the update, or at least locked out by a new HBOOT. If that happens, you wouldn't be able to access your nandroid backup anyway.
So, broken record time: Don't update if you don't want to lose root. Wait for a rooted ROM or a proven root method to be released.
I don't mind that. I'll wait for a root. Will it get rid of AR recovery as well. I installed stock Rom as said. Just want to make sure the recovery and everything else will be gone.

If you flash the RUU then it will bring "everything" back to stock.

I need help with restoring my backup on DK28 using cwm 3. Every time I try to restore my backup, cwm 3 will still boot, but the system won't boot up into android. Can anyone help me with this?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Is it a backup that was done before you installed CWM3? If so I would assume it is due data having been created using amend and not supported by edify scripts....
No, I made the backup with Cwm 3 on DK28 running Nebula 1.0.7 with a gingerbread theme, and I'm trying to restore the backup with Cwm 3, but it never boots past the samsung screen, it just goes right into CWM recovery.

Worked the backup itselve? Maybe its that. Did you try to restore it in cwm 5.0.2.6. Or 5.0.2.8? You can try that.

CyanogenMod ROMs are in ext4 filesystem.
Stock ROMs are in rfs filesystem.
When you install CyanogenMod, your phone's internal partitions get formatted to ext4.
Problem is that CWM can format internal partitions to ext4 but not to rfs, so you cant boot your restored backup because of stock kernel failing to mount ext4 filesystem.
You can try custom kernels that are designed for stock and run in ext4 like Phiexz's kernel.
hmm, ic so other word i cannot restoring my stock rom right, because cwm not design to backup stock rom.
so this function backup and restore just for custom rom or stock rom that design for ext4.
hmm....
thank you for your information it very useful for me

Just install latest firmware for your country and u are back to stock no need for nandroid backup hehe
Product Code: GT-S5660DSXSE
Latest firmware: S5660DXKT8/S5660OLBKT8/S5660DXKT8/S5660DXKT8
Modified: 3/9/2012 3:10:34 PM
Filename: GT-S5660_XSE_1_20120309145734.zip.enc2
This is for Indonesia the latest one thru Kies servers 2.3.6
If u need it let me know and i can upload it
i know it but all my setting, my contact, my call logs, my message all gone. i use nandroid cause i don't wanna lose all think.
but it already past so i think i don't need the backup again, i move to cm now.
I flashed the most recent TBASGSIII 2.0 ROM. (FF18 stockish tw ROM with agats kernel/recovery).
I was installing my apps setting up my bootanimation and removing garbage and think i removed/disabled the wrong thing.
Programs are acting like they have no root access. Cant quickboot or remount /system. Mobil Odin cant recognize device to flash gb kernel to restore nandroid.
Im visiting with the inlaws and have no usb cable. I have a laptop, wifi, kies, and my E4GT as my only tools for survival.
I have no way to recover from a brick except to reactivate my HTC Hero (epic fail).
My most recent nandroids are all ICS using agats recovery to backup. Im not sure if its safe to restore using even his safe recovery or if that will even fix my issue.
Last things i remember doing before this were flashing a boot animation zip, replacing the boot animation and sound files in system, and disabled a couple apps (talk, task, not sure).

You must have deleted super user
Try flashing su.zip
Also mobile Odin needs root access so you can't use it
But you can use odin

Can u link su.zip or post i can get it from? I cant get xda app to load for some reason.
Superuser app shows binaries are installed, but cant gain root access to update them.
Is it safe to nandroid restore with agats kernel/recovery?

As long as you can still get to CWM this should do the trick for you. Flash it in CWM, reboot your phone, and you should be good to go.

Good luck!
PS - Restoring a nandroid from Agat's recovery is completely safe.
Agats had proven to be safe for me. I have flawlessly backed up and restored using it. Even wiping everything works. Just make sure you don't wipe after you restore if your recovery isn't agat's... YOU WILL BRICK HARD. If you did a nandroid, Agat's should save you.

Thank you all. I did eventually make it home and odined to el28 and restored from there to be sure.
Im glad that agat's kernel is safe for recovering too. Definitely loving the green menu, too

I'm running slimbean 4.3 and cwm for recovery.. Can I just perform the normal steps when flashing a new rom and flash beanstalk 4.4? I've been told cwm won't flash modems on the e980 so will I run into any problems with that? if I want to go back to 4.3 rom I will be able to restore a backup, correct? any other info is appreciated. thanks
I have been able to flash back and forth and restore backups using CWM that I got from FreeGee. I haven't flashed any modems though. As always, YMMV
Edit: I think I've only restored one backup. I have flashed a lot this week...apologize
