Root flashing back to stock

if you been running CM6/7 you will hate it. If you search there is a thread already detailing how to flash back to stock with links to the needs files.

I am running CM7, and yes I LOVE it. But my phone is not acting the same as it did on the stock 2.1.. I love watching videos on my ascend. But ever since I re rooted my phone, videos on sites like YouTube and worldstarhiphop, my video load so slow now, but when I was on stock. They loaded at a decent speed. Which is making me think the only way to solve this is go back to stock

Dude that is the same reason why I'm going back to.and I'm back and honestly cm7 is much smoother and faster no doubt, but after rooting it, and set cpu, and removing bloatware, this is very decently fast no joke

on stock setcpu is basically useless, the stock kernel wont go past 600Mhz which it is stock.

I watch videos just fine on mine ascend on youtube and off sdcard n even from netflix now.

If you're w/CRICKET & hit the 1GB/Month data @ 3G Speed,you may be throttled & this WILL affect video,YOU-TUBE,etc...........especially on stock.

I recommend sticking w/CM7 & try the app MASQED CRUSADER & see if that helps.Just read the app description in the ANDROID MARKET.

Okay thats new to me, big problem though, since switching back to stock, ive ran into some major problems. I might of did the flash back wrong. I did a factory reset because my phone wouldn't put canvas 2.1 back from titu, so i though if i reset everything thing would come back, stoopid me, so i ended up do a backup and restore on recovery mode. Cause i had no screen with canvas being erased. Now that my phone is on i have no canvas, which is cool i guess, i have launcher pro, i want to go back to CM7, i followed all the steps i did before, and i get a error now, i can't even download the one on rom manager, it loads to like 50 something percent and download fail.. i need help lol. I feel stupid

I couldn't recover from my phone cause my whole screen was black from deleting canvas, so the way i got it back on was to hold volume up, send and tap power, so that i can restore there, i should of did more back ups, but me being new to this, i mest up. I only bad one back up, and that was the one i did right before i first got on CM7, I want to go back to CM7, i didn't know cricket slows your phone down, after going over a certain mark, i woulda never got off CM7

easier way to restore would be the fastboot method and also that way you know everything is back on there from out of box state.
