If you’re an avid Android “rooter” and “ROM flasher,” then I’m sure the Nandroid backup feature that custom recoveries offer has been your best friend.
So I've had this phone 9 days, unlocked/rooted it a few hours ago and decided to try Cyanogen 10. I used ROM Manager to boot into recovery for the flash and now it's stuck on the splash screen.
I made a full nandroid backup before flashing but can't figure out how to manually get it back into Clockwork's recovery.
In the past, I've always used a bootstrapper app to boot directly into recovery mode in order to create a nandroid backup. Now that I'm on JB, the Razr Bootstrapper actually killed my phone, so that's no longer an option.
Hey guys So I was using the Xenon HD 2.0 ROM before and then I decided to flash CM 10 (Made a NAndroid Backup though)
Backed up my Apps and all the System Data by Titanium Backup.
CM 10 flashed PERFECTLY. Everything was working. I restored the data, it asked be to Reboot the phone and so I did.
But now the phone is stuck on the CM boot screen (BOOTLOOP).
No Recovery Mode.
I have a few question regarding nandroid backup and titanium backup.
1. If I do nandroid backup of original ROM and then I flash to another ROM, what happens if I directly do restore from the backup from another ROM?
2. What is the difference between nandroid backup and titanium backup? As far as I'm concerned, titanium backup only backup the apps + data. How about nandroid backup?
3.
I had latest CM 9 on my i9000 until today, I wanted to try CM10 for the first time, so I turned off my phone, pressed and held Vol+ with Home button and Power until I entered CWM recovery. I did a nandroid backup then I wiped data, wiped cache , wiped dalvik-cache and then i formated /system.
I was running LK8 stock rooted and performed the LL4 update via Kies. I had originally tried to do it OTA and in the process wiped the phone to get rid of the modified status only to be put in queue for the OTA. Before formatting the phone I had performed a titanium app and data backup as well as a Nandroid backup.
This leads me to the question.
When I perform a backup from recovery (or via a front-end such as ROM Manager), what exactly is saved?
Is it like a clone of a hard drive in the PC world?
Does it contain only data, and not the actual ROM?
How should I go about using such a backup when doing a restore? Should a ROM be installed first, followed by the restore?
I am currently using the new Amon Ra Style Recovery for Supersonic and have partitioned my micro sd card. My question is what exactly do I need to nandroid backup to beable to nandroid restore and have the ROM and apps ready to go without having to reconfigure them?
