ICS passion from Juwe

[vicky_ag]

So I updated my phone from Juwe's ported rom :

to ICS passion.

I backed up my apps data using TB. Then I did a nandroid backup from CWM and flashed ICS passion.
Then I realized that I forgot to backup my contacts and SMS (some of my contacts are not stored on Google). So I tried using the nandroid backup to go back but was stuck at the vibrant logo - bricked.

I went through all the procedures of getting the JVD, flashing, rooting, installing CMW and then GB bootloaders. Tried getting back to the Juwe's rom to no avail, got stuck in the recovery bootloop. Nothing worked.

So I re-installed ICS passion without my contacts and SMS. Any way to get back the system data from the backups?

Nandroid doesn't backup your kernel so when you restored it put you back on gb but still had the ics kernel. You just need to be back on a gb rom and your nandroid should restore fine.

Edit: Correction. New versions of cwm DO backup the kernel. I've had problems restoring nandroids across different os's though so still try it from gb.
