Root Nandroid restore problem

[Kimbernator]

RESOLVED!

I have cm7 on my phone, but beforehand i made two backups of the stock rom.

I just thought i would test them to see if they worked, so i backed up my cm7 rom and restored both of the stock ones, to find that neither got past the "Mytouch 4g" screen. I can easily restore back in to cm7, but the others are not working right.

I mean, how long should it take for one of those backups to boot up the first time? I only left them for like 3-4 minutes, but neither ever got to the startup animation.

I never got a single error, it all seemed to go so smoothly.

Alternately, could someone upload one of their stock rom backups?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but u won't be able to use any other nandbackups than ur own.Try searching XDA .If your looking for a stock ROM flash iced glacier, do a nand after and c how it goes.

Hey! I figured it out! And this should apply to all of us with mytouch 4gs.

The issue was that i was on clockwork 3.0.0.5, which i was on even when i backed up the stock rom. 3.0.0.5 allows for gingerbread flashing, but not froyo. So if you experience an issue like this, downgrade to 2.5.1.2 in rom manager and try recovering - lucky for me, even nandroids made in 3.0.0.5 were compatible with 2.5.1.2

Thanks dude for that fix..i had been stuck trying to figure that out since last night, i had looked all over and could not find anything other than conflicting ideas..

Was really annoying because i had s-off but no root access.
