Can someone please post a stock nandroid backup for the Droid 2, or email it to [email protected]. Please and thank you
You do know that you can just flash the .sbf to get back to stock.
Just fyi ... A nandroid is everything about your phone. Teo people on the same nandroid can affect each others market etc. it is a very very very bad idea to post a nandroid of your system.
We do not have built in way to do it. I got DROID 2 bootstrap from Market yesterday for $2.00. It does the job and the restore works too.
Ive tried doing an SBF with RSDlite but I kept getting an error message about my phone not being capable of it when trying to do it. Can someone link me to the steps...
Edit: Nevermind I found it myself, without being lazy =P

Is there a way to take a nandroid backup from a phone, and move it to another phone? I'm having an issue with my X's screen and it would make my life very easy if I could just use a nandroid backup to bring it back how I like it when Verizon gives me the new device.

Yes... You can.. but it would require someone to SBF their phone, then wipe data/cache. Then they would need to root their phone and install bootstrap all without every having set up any kind of accounts (fbook, gmail, etc.)
Whenever you take a nandroid, it captures all data on the phone...so essentially if you took a nandroid from someone who regularly uses their phone... you would wind up with all of their accounts and what not... Prob not something most people want to give out.
I would suggest using RSDlite and the correct SBF file for your bootloader version.
I think you misunderstood me. My own phone is getting replaced (screen issue), and I wanted to see if I could make a nandroid now, put it on my computer/sdcard, then load it on my new phone that Verizon sends me.
Ah! Then yes that should work. Agfter installing bootstrap you would just need to paste the nandroid folder (using the yyyymmdd-hhmm or whatever the folder title style is) into the /sdcard/clockwordmod/backup folder.
I dont think there should be any problem...but I dont know anyone that has tried this.

I did this to fix a buddy's phone. Made a nandroid of my phone and restored it on his. Just don't rename the folder to something with spaces. He did this and it ended up not working. I replaced the spaces with underscores and it worked fine.
Yes this will work. Just make a nandroid before you return it and restore it when you get a new one. However, make sure that you are using the latest software version when you make the backup or you will brick your phone trying to restore it
Just wondering if anyone who's flashing and rooting could please do a backup and upload it somewhere. Myself and a couple others have accidentally partitioned our internal SD incorrectly causing a catastrophic touch screen issue.
I'm hoping it'll have the properly partitioned SD storage because I'm having difficulty doing it manually. If someone could upload this it'd be hugely appreciated!!!
BUMP!!!
Can anyone please provide me with a Nandroid backup using Tenfar's recovery??? I can throw some money once I get my Paypal sorted out. I'm desperate, fellas!
Can someone please help? I'd like to try anything I can to get my phone working this weekend. It's been an entire week without my Atrix.

Im relatively new to android...is this backup you are speaking about a TB backup. Or what method of backup are you looking for?

You actually need to be rooted and have Tenfar's custom Recovery menu. In there it has an option to do a Backup.
If you're new it may be too engaging but I appreciate the offer nonetheless. If you could help, it'd be great. If it's too much trouble, I thank you anyway!
yeah what does the nandroid backup...back.. up? the apps?
What I'm HOPING and PRAYING for is that it'll also copy something in the internal SD which was partitioned due to my stupidity. dev/block/mmcblk0p18 is what that is in particular.
I tried manually formatting and partitioning it but I'm unable to do so. Fastboot freezes and Early USB Enumeration goes by so quickly I can't run the commands that I need through ADB. And I don't even know if that'll work because I made a script that executes the commands and I get weird errors. I'm far from an expert and monkeyed around too deeply where I shouldn't have.
About 4-5 others are reporting the same problem. The ****ty thing is that I'm in Canada and it'd be a huge pain to send it to Motorola. They're giving me a lot of grief and I've had to put up a big fight. Waiting to see if they'll send an RMA because I may need to send it in. When I get it back I might sell it and buy a Bell Atrix because I live in Canada and if something bad happens, it'll be easier to send to Bell or Motorola Canada.
from what i understand you have to have an unlocked bootloader to backup or restore using a nandroid backub
Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology then.. just need a backup from Tenfar's customer Recovery. I don't even know if it'll work but I'm out of ideas.
I'm at least thankful that the Xperia X10's bootloader was cracked. I forgot to send a replacement back to Rogers and I phoned them asking if I could use it for now. They thankfully said yes because they forgot to charge me for it lol... it's got some really great ROMs, but looking at this beautiful, mangled Atrix makes baby Jesus cry!
i can do that but im wondering why you dont try SBF file?? should work better than Backup

i was just wondering the same thing... it also be more stable as nandroid restore are not so good on some phones and im guessing especially on a locked bootloader one.
also a nandroid backup would also restore some else's settings and information on your device....

I've already tried the SBF files but it doesn't do anything to the internal SD. I need an actual backup because the user settings are exactly what I'm looking for. Normally you'd want a fresh flash from stock but I hope you now understand why I'm asking this constantly.
Flashing to stock was naturally my first step. Unfortunately it had failed. About 5 others reporting the same problem.

What maybe you could do is? go into tenfars cwm recovery go to mounts and storage and format the internal sdcard and system and boot and data. This is safe as far as I know and me and tenfar have both done this.I literally formatted every single thing in the option menu. just to see if I could do it. Which was stupid but I was curious and used to do that before I installed new roms on my old backflip all the time! Also might wanna do a factory reset through cwm and clear dalvik cahe as well for good measure. Now after you format all that. reboot system which will send you in a boot loop/wont boot past first screen. Pull the battery and unplug usb cable from charger. Then reboot and enter rsdlite mode by holding volume up and the power button. Now just flash your 4.1.26 sbf file through rsdlite 5.0
As long as you flash back to retail 4.1.26 afterwords using rsdlite 5.0 that should put everything right! As I have done this and my phone is working normal.
I better put one of them warnings here though anyway lol

JUST got your PM as I was clicking this thread. Thanks, broski.
I've got nothing to lose. It's easy enough to recover from soft-brick. I'll give it a shot right now. Wish me luck!
*** UPDATE ***
Still no dice. Bummer.

mmm weird..
IMO if sbf dont help i really doubt a recovery will....
perhaps i highly recommend if someone do this, create a new account of gmail and flash a sbf file since the OP will have all sensitive data as email,contacts and so on as previous post say

That won't work either. I have reasons for wanting a backup versus a new SBF flash as stated multiple times.
I have a nand if you still need one

Your motoblur account information is stored in plaintext and your google contact information is also in a nandroid backup. Be weary.

I was not aware of this and was so focused on correcting the challenge that this was a complete oversight. On second thought, I don't want to compromise anyone's security.
I had in mind a fresh backup, preferably for AT&T's 1.2.6 SBF but it's a bit of trouble and a lot of space. I retract my request due to the amount of work involved and that I don't want to compromise anyone's security in case they don't clear their user details, etc.
Thanks for pointing that out, knigitz. I think ADB access in the Recovery is our best bet. Crossing my fingers.

Ill help you with your backup if you can help me root and flash the gladix rom on mine.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm a noob at rooting and flashing roms, but i was able to root my phone using gfree and installed MIUI as my first rom. Everything went fine until i tried to download astro file manager and my phone crashed. I was able to boot back up just fine, but i decided to try another rom to see if it would be better. Long story short, i got stuck in a bootloop after flashing and can't restore my nandroid backup. I wiped BUT i didn't do a backup because of my problems with MIUI, so i thought my first backup would be good enough, but apparently it wasn't. If someone can PLEASE help a noob out i would greatly appreciate it.
Just so everyone knows, i am willing to lose my root (which is what i am planning on doing if i can fix this) if that is my only option. If someone can just tell me a way to go back to the stock rom that would be great, i find all of this stuff just too overwhelming for me.
If you want to go back to stock, I am attaching a thread for the gingerbread update. You rename the file PD15IMG.zip and reboot into the bootloader and it will ask you if you want to install the update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174344
You shouldnt have to return to stock and lose root. Just get a non corrupted download of a rom. Flash it, set it up to your liking and make a backup or two and you should be okay. This will be harder if you dont have a computer to do the download though.
Thanks i'll try it out see how it goes.
Thanks man it worked great AND i'm on 2.3.4. You totally saved my phone. Rooting is great if you know exactly what you are doing but i don't even know how to flash a radio. Thank You! +1
Glad it worked out for you.

Never underestimate the value of having a couple of different backups to revert to. It may take up extra space on the SD card, but saves lots of time and frustration.
Hello. I had made a backup of my previous ROM via CWM and then flashed a new ROM. I decided i didn't like the new ROM so i went into CWM to restore the phone back only to get "nand kernal fail" in red letters. I know how to recover from this and i have done so but the backups i made (all 3) all yield the same results when i try and restore them.
Can someone tell me if its possible to recover the files and restore them to my phone, also maybe explain why this happens in the first place? I've already did a search and came across a couple results but nothing like how it happened after doing a restore point via CWM. Any info or help would be greatly appricated.

just restore your backup !!
and immediately flash tytung's r14 kernel after that !!
may help !!
Thanks for the tip. I did try that but it didn't work. The only way I'm able to recover from this is if i reflash cwm and then reinstall magldr, then reinstall my ROM. I just hate that i can't recover the backups i had because it was a lot of work getting my phone just how i wanted it.
Can someone dump a stock system or stock nandroid backup of their US device. I think i changed my busybox and failed to make a backup of it. I will probably need this in the future to upgrade.
Or can anyone tell me which file in the updates i can pull out the original busybox for ICS? Because i know the original before ICS was A310_02_0039_0086_US
But there is a patch in A310_03_0069_0130_US i am not sure what to do with busybox.p
Any advise?
I too would like a nandroid ICS backup, mine got wiped some how.
There is a US ICS nandroid available here:

It says it's rooted but it's not.

Should be, but you'll have to download Superuser and OTA Rootkeeper (and run 'em) from Play store to bring it back.
can someone comfirm that it works and is rooted?

Hey Madamada31 - YOU can confirm it. That's what is great about these community forums. Nobody 'made' an ICS nandroid for US TPT that I know of, except me. I took some time out of my day (back then) to make the backup. I took time to upload the file to my dropbox (after already posting it on everyrandom.com) and posted the link to threads requesting it. I can't help any longer as I don't have a TPT (in repair). Time for someone else, eh?
What I can tell you is that when I booted my TPT after the Nandroid was created, I was in a fresh install of ICS and I had (backed up) root. I needed to dl superuser and OTA Rootkeeper to restore it.
Jump in and tell us all how the water is!
Hello pwstein,
Thanks for your backup. I've tried but not working for me (maybe because my tablet is a WE version).
But I know it takes time to backup, factory reset, backup again and restore previous backup.
Try your backup takes less time then you to make it.
So thanks
I keep getting a MD5 mismatch when trying to use this. I've used it before and was fine. I wiped everything, fix permissions and got that every time. Going to try a few more things and hopefully I can get this to work. Thanks for the upload.
EDIT: I figured it out, I did something dumb.
