Hey guys,
Hopefully you can help me, I've successfully rooted installed cwm and done a nandroid back up, I updated to the 2.3.5 update, I want to restore my files back to how they were with the 2.2 system, when I go to restore, should I restore boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext? I was under the impression this will reinstall the 2.2 rom
Thanks.
DON'T DO IT!
Use titanium backup: menu > more > extract from nandroid backup.
If you try use CWM, you will be stuck at bootlogo.

hey guys, I got a question about nandroid backup and since I have a huawei this seems to be the right thread
I'm about to get a new sd card class 10 to replace my current slower one..I want to know: if I make a nandroid backup with my clockwork recovery then I transfer it to the new sd card and plug it in my phone can I restore it from recovery? the recovery and the phone are the same, I will change just my sd card with the new one..it's too boring to reinstall everything so I'd like to know if I can do it this way
yes

Thank you! I asked because I tried in the past to put a custom rom this way but the backup wasn't mine..the cook of the rom shared his nandroid backup to let you have the rom already set up..but it was a mess because after the nandroid was restored the recovery automatically formatted the user data on the sd and when the phone boots was a disaster..maybe because the versions of the recoveries were different or because the phone was different..

sorry for the really stupid question, if i make a nandroid back, what does that do exactly? does that hold all the data and apps and everything? so like if I switch roms, it makes it exactly the same as before?
or does it wipe the rom and everything?
nandroid backs up the complete phone. Apps, contacts, android OS... everything. If you restore a nandroid backup, it will put the phone in the state it was in when the backup was created. If you are rooted and you haven't made a nandroid backup yet.. DO IT!
And how exactly do you do a nandroid backup?

1. when you go into your recovery manually, and it takes to you to the clockwork recovery, its because you (the clockwork app) replaced the original recovery, with its own
2. In clockwork app, hitting the "back up rom" feature, will automatically boot into recovery, and automatically run the nandroid back up for you.
3. Nandroid makes an exact copy of your current running rom. Apps, settings, and data, even placement of all your apps and wall paper. Think of it as a ghost image for a pc, but for your phone.
Wish I could post the link for my source, but can't because I'm a new user

I'm new to the android OS and came from windows OS. If i flash a rom that doesn't delete "/data" and don't like that rom and I flash a different rom that doesn't delete "/data", will all my apps,settings,data will be intact?
Reason I'm asking is because I don't want to re-install all my apps and set up my settings/configs with each new rom. Thanks.
Yes. 10 chars
Be sure to make a backup with Clockwork Recovery before you install a ROM. This is for 2 reasons; 1) incase something goes wrong you can restore from your backup and 2) you can go into the advanced restore menu *after* you have installed a new ROM that required you to wipe /data and just restore the /data portion of your last backup and get all of your apps and contacts back.

Hello,
today i have just tried to install Windows Phone 7 on my HD2.
Before i have created an nandroid backup with clk cwm.
I didnt like WP7 so i've decided fast to return back to my old rom.
I didnt find my old clk installation files so i've downloaded some new one (same cwm partitions)
Now if i want to restore my backup cwm gives me the following lines:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image!
And i'm back in the menu.
Can anyone help me please? I have set up this rom for so long time and dont want to lose it.
Regards.
files maight be currompted ...just intsall everything from the begening and in the next time when u will make a backup copy the file into ur computer so u dont have to worry about the backup
Try flashing the rom clean, and then use selective restore to restore the data and sd ext partitions only.

I think the boot image was corrupted. I did copy it onto my computer (how should i have not, due to the sd repartitioning by wp7)

as my experience some builds accept restoring of nandroid from another build but many of them don't accept. so what is best flash your old rom, restore nandroid, then backup with titanium backup, then flash the other rom and restore with titanium backup.
Hey guys!
So yesterday, I installed the app 'Android Control Center'. I messed around with a few settings and ended up in a bootloop. I do not have anything backed up in Titanium backup. So I made a nandroid backup in the hope that id be able to restore my apps out of that by using nandroid manager, but all of my app data were not extracted from the nandroid. So now im planning to restore the nandroid backup and use TWRPs file manager to remove that apk and its data. Are there any other things I should do to fix this problem? Will this work??
Guys, any help is appreciated!!!
Hardly believe that app can cause your system into bootloop... anyway, if you want to try.
Titanium Backup can restore apps from Nandroid backup, preferably CWM tar backup. However, this function is currently having issues with Android 4.3, so if you want to reflash the ROM, pick ROM with 4.2.2.
I believe TWRP backup should also works, but I haven't try it before. If you need to use TWRP, do it without compression & encryption.
IMO your problem can be a simple fix by remove the faulty app and reflash the ROM.
just reflash your rom via recovery, dont wipe, you wont lose any data
Alright thanks for the response. I copied my TWRP backup to my PC, extracted it and now I'm trying to copy the data folder from my TWRP backup to my ROM's data folder. Hopefully, this will work.
PS - I removed the app and i reflashed the rom but that didn't seem to fix the problem.

I am new to this rooting world....I rooted my nexus 4 a week back using Nexus root toolkit v1.8.
I then flashed cm11 onto my phone.
I have TWRP recovery on my phone.
I want a full backup of my apps+data+ROM. How's this possible?? Which of these backups allow this..... And how to do these backups.
Also can anyone explain what a kernel is??
Titanium backup can only backup part of your data. Simply because apps can't access everything.
If you want a full backup, you should make a nandroid backup. Which is simply the name for a backup you do through your recovery. (TWRP in your case)
And the explanation of a kernel is really easy to find. So you'll have to use Google for that (I can't really think of a good explanation atm)

Just use the backup toggle in twrp. And no, you can't backup direct to your pc. But afterwards you can copy the backup to your pc. It's good practice to have at least one recent backup there just in case something happens where you'll need it.

Some More Question Regarding Backups :-
Backing Up Using The ROM Manager (By Clockwork Mod) also performs the Nandroid Backup ???
Also when I Restore My Nandroid Backup (Of ROM1) while i am using some other ROM(ROM 2) .....flash the device into the ROM 1 settings and all the systems settings+apps.???

First, don't use rom manager. You don't need it
A nandroid is like a copy of the entire os and all your apps and user settings. If your running rom2 and you restore rom1 all your settings of rom 2 will be forgotten and the ones you had in rom 1 when you backed it up will be restored.

Although this is not really accurate, but this is as close as I can get to. Think of a phone like a car. The engine part which is essential to make your car runs is your kernel while the body, doors, sidemirrors and everything else are part of a rom. Kernel is in the deeper layer of the system.
