You have to wipe or you will get stuck in endless bootloop.
Also, use titanium backup to backup and restore all your apps - the market will automatically restore everything for you either way, so you're not losing much other than some game saves or things that weren't on your sdcard...
Or..... backup your custom rom (if not cm7)in rom manager or cwm, then flash the update (after full wipage), boot up, let it sit 10 min. Get to recovery do advanced restore and restore the data only from your backup, reboot and you have all your data and the new update.

First off sorry if this is answered in another post, lease kindly direct me to the post if it is =)
I just tried to install a second ROM from ROM Manager. I was running DCU and created a back-up in ClockworkMod before I started then installed the new Fresh ROM successfully. When I tried to go back to my first ROM via the restore point I set up it gets stuck in a boot loop. The 2nd restore point from the Fresh ROM loads up just fine.
Is there anyway to fix the older restore point and get back to DCU or should I just wipe everything and reinstall DCU...
Thanks in advanced!
do a data wipe, clear cache and dalvick
Then restore your backup. Clockwork does not seem to like certain roms.

thanks, i was able to wipe everything from the original android recovery mode and upload an old nandroid back up but from Clockwork it didnt seem to clear the dalvik cache, when i clicked clear it just went back to the last menu it never said anything in the log and when i loaded up the Clockwork backup it still didnt work :/
So i installed a custom rom and everything went to hell so basically i tried to download the newest update for the evo 2.2 when after i put the update on the root of the phone and o the whole boot thin i install from .zip then an error comes up and i fixed that then another and over and over again...all i want now is to have the phone back to like i had it when i bought it

need more info. how did you go about trying to do this? what steps did you? More info on what you did can help someone figure out where you went wrong. Did you create a nandroid backup before you flashed the ROM? what recovery are you using? Did you wipe data (factory reset), cache, and davlik cache prior to flashing the ROM? If you did make a back up, and can get to Recovery (volume down and power button, then select recovery) I would wipe all data, cache and davlik cache, then flash a nandroid backup. If you didn't make a nandroid backup, I would try wiping everything again, and try flashing the ROM a second time.

THAT SHOULD GET U BACK TO STOCK
So I got Cm7 running using rom manager, used titanium backup to restore apps + system data, then fixed permissions. For the last 10 minutes it's been stuck in the CM7 screen....
What should I do? Can I pull the battery without harm? Does it take that long to boot after fixing permissions?
Edit: pulled the batter and am trying to boot into recovery...going to wipe the dalvik/cache again.
Edit2: same thing for the last 6 minutes....dang. I guess I'll just nandroid in 5 minutes if it doesn't' get out of it.
Edit3: going to nandroid back. I might try it again later flashing from a Zip instead of using rom manager. I probably won't restore system data either next time. If anyone has any suggestions though please post them.
Edit4: not good...phone is bootlooping cyangen screen after nandroid.
Edit5: Cleared factordata, cache, and when I go to clear dalvik I'm getting
e unknown volume for path sd-ext
Any ideas here?
Edit6: I'm reflashing 6.1.2....okay...got through the boot and now I'm setting up the phone.
You may need to wipe everything now and reinstall fresh. Do a search for Calkulin's tools here and download the format all zip and put it on the root of your sdcard. Flash it just like you would a rom from recovery. It will wipe boot, data, cache and system. Then try flashing cm7 from recovery. Usually boot loops happen because of there not being enough space on one of your partitions like system or boot etc.

Will do....I know I had been installing apps to the SD card using CM6 and when I first got CM7 up it said my phone memory was low. I thought it would say on the SD card.
I'll probably try tomorrow again if I get the courage and I most definitely will DL Calkun's tools.
Thanks!
I'm going to guess the nandroid didn't work either because of the phone memory low issue?
I would reccomend re-doing what you did originally, except when restoring with titanium, do NOT restore system settings, only apps and data. That's probably the cause.

Wiped manually, installed from zip, and didn't restore system data. CM7 has been running for about an hour now.
Thanks everyone!
Glad that you got it working man.
Is ANY system data safe to restore from Titanium?
Had the exact same problem myself... I'm restoring my Myn nandroid as we speak, and I'll mess with it more tomorrow.
Does anyone know what (if any) system data is safe to restore from Titanium? I just want my contacts and text messages basically... I don't know exactly what caused the problem from Titanium since I made sure not to check any of the Sense-related items.
For about 20 min after I pulled the battery I couldn't get the phone to do anything except vibrate three times when I tried to get into recovery. Eventually coaxed it into the bootloader where I selected to boot into recovery to nandroid back. Almost had a heart attack!

You should never restore system settings.
For contacts, open accounts and sync, tap your google account, then sync contacts, and that'll be done.
For texts, people highly recommend sms backup or my backup. Then backup apps and data, then restore only apps and data, and you'll be set.
Hi,
I just recover my phone with a cwm backup.
But after this, my phone stuck on bootloop.
That's why, I've wiped dalvik cache.
But now, on boot, Android is such as new, no more apps, ...
So, What's the way to get back as more data as possible?
I was thinking that you could get back your mobile as before with cwm!
Thanks for your help
Well, when the phone gets a bootloop after restoring a nandroid backup, it's maybe because you have a different kernel from the one that's on the backup file.
If you want, try flashing with Flash Tools the stock ROM, get onto Fastboot mode and do a hotboot of a CWM kernel (because you will lose the complete install, by now) then restore your old backup.
It will keep all the data.

The backup date of yesterday so, it's not a kernel problem.
Well i wiped dalvik cache and cache only and now stuck on sasmung logo?? How much time davlik need for rebuilding or I need to restore all backup (waited 15min and nothing)? The all backup restore didnt work too...So factory reset is next right?
The factory reset worked but when restoreing backup its the same thing. Pls help where could be the problem in backup (system,boot,data...)
Stock rom CWM persus kernel

Really no idea, maybe some file corrupted.
You can use odin pc to install stock rom. After successfully reboot then root it and do restore again.
Good luck.

What do you want to restore? Did you already have Perseus kernel when you did the nandroid backup?
How did you made backup?
:*: Neebi :*:
maurice srefmen
Yes the persus kernel was instaled when i did nandroid, I used cwm backup to external card, tried to restore one by one but when restoring data i get stuck. I whant to restore everything, thats way I did backup before wipeing dalvik. So only left is flash stock root and try again?
Which error message do you have? Did you move or rename your backup?
Try to go to advanced settings and restore data only.
No error just stuck at boot logo, I tried every combination with system,boot,data restore but nothing, then I restored eariler backup without persus kernel in it and it worked (reverted back to stock kernel) then instaled persus again and its all fine now :good: Do you think there is some problem with backuping when persus kernel is installed?
I didnt now that factory reset with cwm doesnt erase sd internal so I have everthing back in place. Tnx everyone
Nice :good:
I know that we can have some issues when we try to restore a nandroid created from another kernel but nothing special but the Perseus kernel.
But AFAIK there is less problems with TWRP than CWM so it's possible that your problem is a recovery one and your custom kernel doesn't matter. Just try TWRP and let me know
EDIT
Factory reset only erases /data and /cache folders
I tried with TWRP and no problem with backup or restore :good: tnx
