I have been using this for a long time, but many people dont know about this. I have heard that flashing an older nandroid from ics could cause a hard brick so this is used for precation
1. make a nandroid backup
2. copy nandroid backup file to computer (/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup)
3. flash whatever ics rom you want
4. if you don't like it, go back to stock gingerbread, flash CWM recovery
5. copy the backup from your computer to the same folder on your phone
6. run a nandroid restore
Just a little tip for people who didnt realize that they can do this

Yep, that's the easiest method of recovery. I don't see whats so bad about going into download mode and flashing with odin. It's not really that hard that we need to worry about something that would make the process 'automatic'.

Well I do agree with you, but for ease of mind, its much more convenient to have something like Itunes to restore the firmware/contacts/audio/video/ sms/ emails/etc rather than doing it manually using 3-4 different softwares?

try 91 pc suite for android. it can do EVERYTHING.
You might have to try set the language, when it starts, its in chinese. I think some Developer here can catch the idea.
I think you need GLASSES.
Also iTunes won't fix your iPhone if you jailbreak & break your device to send files via BT or be able to install real programs; it's simply going to stay laggy and the next update might cause it to brick.
Samsung kies can back up pretty much anything and odin can restore any firmware. On iPhone if you brick it, without warranty it's trash because you can't flash an iPhone with programs like odin.
WHAT the

Well, I followed the method here:
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/
To get S-OFF, flash a custom recovery (Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4), and got root.
Now, when I go into the CWM (it seems to work):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And then select anything (e.g. backup and restore), it just displays the background:
And doesnt do anything. Pressing the power button simply brings it back to the previous screen (shown above).
Funny thing is, I did manage to install the root zip through CWM earlier, then used Titanium backup, rebooted, and now this happens What's going on. Should I try flashing recovery again?

Seriously though, click on an option using the trackball, not the power button.
It actually took me five minutes when I first used it to figure it out as well.

Yeah, sorry to bump this old thread, but Im currently having the exact same issue on my HTC Wildfire. The power button just gives the same background as seen in OP.
The trackball doesn't seem to react on presses, so I have currently no way of flashing a new rom to it. Anyone can help me?? :/

try using the autoroot
in extras there is an option to reboot to download mode
Make sure you charge your battery first.
If it is less then 20%, it will not work.
It's functioning as designed, so that you do not lose power when flashing in download mode.
After you charge your battery for a good hour, with the phone off, try again and it should work.
HIT MY THANK YOU BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW to the other posters above, DON'T POST IF YOU DON'T KNOW (thinking you know does not count). People like you piss me off when I Google for a solution and find threads filled with your utterly useless gibberish...
I will try auto root so far fd05 is eating battery and acting flaky

Sorry buddy you're bricked, same thing happened to me. Take it to Sprint, don't let them find out it was rooted and you'll get a free one in 2 days from Samsung if you have warranty.
Not bricked but recovery is not working right will need to go back to fd02

If he can't get into download mode or recovery, he is bricked.
OP are you relating everything that happened?
This is the first ever I have heard of a successful flash of an ODIN or ODIN OneClick where you cannot go back into ODIN DL mode.
Pull battery, then as you press and hold Power+VolDown, reinsert battery.
If it is too difficult a sequence, go into extra options of Auto Root, and select Reboot Download.

oops forgot the volume down. in my post earlier. Thanks Sfhub.
Autoroot worked and i went back to FD02 but recovery is still not opening right. FD05 did something weird I might just do a full restore with KIES then go back to FD02. Pulling the battery and hitting power and down while putting battery in worked once.

Something I just found out last night. I've been using MIJJZ Blend Goodness rom for a while now, but I still have zip file from other roms I've tried. I flashed the wicked sensation rom extended toggle zip and it works perfect. I have done a couple of different one. So if u like a add-on zip from another rom try to flash it to a different one and tell me what works.
Just wanted to point out that you should stick with like os versions if you are attempting this. Like flash a zip from an FF18 Rom to another FF18 Rom. Mixing versions is not a good idea. It might appear to work but you will likely run into problems down the road. You could get lucky and not have problems it's but best not to risk it. If you decide to do it anyway, make sure you have a good backup first.

I agree with crawj on this. Bad idea. Unless you're using a morph universal zip like ALL my mods on the black rom (except extended toggles). Then you can flash them to nearly any TW rom. Already thought of this problem lol. So did MIJJA74.
LOL Funny you mention this... I recently found I had many zips mixed together from Goodness and Blu Kuban on my sd card. The few I got wrong just did away with my notification bar or caused systemui to FC. I guess I was not so lucky. Like mentioned before, just make sure your backed up first.

True true, Cyber is right... Even if you're just flashing a battery mod it can have bad results between platforms or tw/ aosp etc.. Before flashing anything always do a nandroid back up.. Be safe not sorry.
FYI i have tried this while back on ff18 and i bricked ma phone thus some did work great yet when an update came along for the rom after reboot it also went into reboot lock so just an fyi might work great now but as the others mentioned down the road (in my experience) i got f'd

No offense but you didn't read enough before flashing. First link was for the global device and NOT the E4GT.
Try going into download mode (vol. down and power) and see if your PC recognizes it. If by some miracle it does, download the FF18/FH13 rooted one click and flash. If not and without a microSD card you will need to either get one to flash or JTAG the phone.

You're right I didn't read it enough time. I use glasses so I wasn't using and did it to quick.
Look in the E4GT Android Development Forum for a thread starting with [ODIN][TAR] and then indicating FF18 or FH13. FF18 thread was started by sfhub, FH13 by rwilco12.
Sorry to not include links but haven't figured how to have it show a thread URL so that I can copy it yet.
