Extract "Stock Triumph 1980 01 06.00.00.34.7z" to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
(If it isn't there create the folders), then reboot into recovery (cm7 has a recovery option when you reboot select that or power off then hold the volume up and down and power on), you should boot into CWM scroll down (using the volume down key), to backup/restore select using the menu softkey, scroll down to restore and selct, then select what should be the only option if not select Stock_Triumph_1980-01-06.00.00.34 it will then restore a backup you can then go back and reboot or just do a battery pull and power on, but make sure it says restore complete.

I followed the link, downloaded the "100% stock nandroid backup" but I am stuck! How do I download it to my computer? I am using mac osx 10.5.Thank you soo soo much, really, I appreciate it:)

Is it taking you to the mediafire site? If so that's good. It should say preparing download or something like that and then a "download" should appear and you can click that and the download should start.

Also make sure when you connect your phone to your computer you turn on usb storage on, on your phone (a notification that says usb connected should appear just click it, then click "turn on usb storage") I don't know exactly how the storage system is set up on Macos... Maybe go to computer or their equivalent of computer...

It worked! Thank you all! Especially you mark12868 ....Now could somebody give me a link on how to root the triumph to 2.3

No problem and its a "c" not a "k" just saying :p. Here's a guide on how to do it... You can skip the CWM since you already have it, then you can choose either miui, cm7, or cm7-tg-reloaded. It's pretty easy you can make a backup if you want to or not. But just do a factory reset, wipe cache, then advanced>wipe dalvik cache, then go back and flash the rom as well as gapps (unless its Miui it already has it).

dont root the stock rom your on now, leave it alone, it will cause you less headaches.

just install one of the many great roms here.

CM7 rom is built on android 2.3 and has a lot of new additions that stock android doesnt have, try going to that first.
