Hi!
I wonder, does Nandroid backup (ClockWork Recovery) count as a current ROM backup? Even if it isn't a ZIP file? Is it usable in case of a new ROM flashing goes wrong? Is this it?
Why are there so many advices to make a .zip file of your backup? I'M CONFUSED over this... When do I have to make a .zip file out of my backup. Furthermore, a Nandroid backup makes a folder with several files in it... Do I make a .zip file of that folder?
And last but not the least...
What is the difference between Cyanogen Recovery Image and ClockWorkMod Recovery?
PLZ guys, don't be angry with me for asking. Gotta start learning sometime and need to have all the answers, all of the basics covered before advancing to the next level.
...Just a simple answer... PLZ?
In short:
- Which backup is which?
- When to make a .ZIP file?
- How to make a .ZIP file (out of which folder?)?
- The difference between Cyanogen Recovery Image and ClockWorkMod Recovery?
Thank you!
I already told you... you dont need to zip the nandroid backup. Just go to clockwork and when you do a nandroid restore, your backups will be there to select. No need to zip anything.....

Is it possible to do a nandroid on stock partition table, then install repartition from Geno and then restore from that nandroid?
I don't think so but do a pinkscreen backup in case

Sorry for opening this old thread again, but im interested in getting the answer for this question aswell.
Im currently on the stock partition but i need more ROM space to install various mods, could i take a nandroid backup now and then install forumber2's partition and then restore it? Would it mess up something? Hoping for some expert to answer this!
Hi everybody,
First of all I want to say thanks to this community because I found a lot of informations here and solved many problems I had.
I searched all the day and I don't know what to do with the issue I get now...
I decided to install JellyBlast V3 on my Galaxy Y GT-S5360. Before that I made a backup of my stock ROM with ClockWorkMod (v5.0.2.6) and then I installed JBV3.
All was allright and I wanted to restore my datas only from the backup with the CWM advanced restore. That didn't work (Maybe because I can't restore datas from a different ROM?)
So, I wanted to make a complete restore from the same backup to get all my datas back, but I get the following message :
"data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /scard/.android_secure.
Restore complete!"
The phone can boot up but my datas are not restored at all.
I explored the backup folder and there is no "data.img"... but in some resolved threads I read people didn't have it neither... and I am a big optimist so I kept searching...
I tried to restore again but with another zip file of CWM (who resolve some bugs) I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27475895
But It failed again with the same issue.
I read that if the kernel changed the restoring is not possible anymore so a previous kernel have to be installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27475895 )
To be sure, I installed a stock ROM with Odin by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800
I picked the S5360_XXKL3_OXXKL1_XXKL3 bundle.
Since I installed the fresh ROM I tried to restore datas again, but I got the same issue again...
So, I want to understand why I get this error ?
Maybe flashing with a stock ROM is not enought to replace the present kernel by the original one ?
Thanks for enlighted me (and sorry for my english)
By any chance is your CWM called gt-s5360CWM or something
You have to backup with a clean CWM and restore with the same clean CWM

Indeed, the first CWM I used to create the backup was "GT-S5360_CWM.zip" but the restore doesn't work.
The second CWM I tried is called "CWM_bla_bla.zip" and the restore failed with this one too.
I think the backup I made is not proper
Thank you for your help.
PS : if my backup is corrupted, is there a way to recover at least my contacts with a backup explorer or something ?
EDIT : I think my backup is definitely not good, I made another one with the "unbugged" CWM and It makes more files including a "data.rfs.tar" file...
Hi everybody! I have a problem with EFS partition, I'll try explain my problem on the better way possible because I don't speak english.
After several flash via odin and CMW the EFS partition is broke.
When I flash the stock ROM with odin the IMEI is there, but when I flash a Custom ROM the IMEI dissapears and I don't know how fix this!
I tried with EFS pro but print an error:
Device Connection: okay!
Root Access: okay!
Detected 'efs' Partition Location:Failed!
Error:Can't Locate Mount Point!
EFS backup Failed!
Also, before all that, I tried with Galaxy Toolbox, and I did a backup but, this backup not works. I know that because I tried restore the EFS partition on the Custom rom and the IMEI isn't appear.
Somebody can help me please? I want restore the EFS partition.
My SGY is GT-S5360L
If you need more information about my phone, just tell me.
Thanks for read!
Greetings!
So I have A little bit of a problem here, I want to make a nandroid backup so that I can safely install a Marshmallow ROM, now my problem is this: my memory is almost completely full. So I cannot make the backup on my phone using CWM recovery. I read about the way to make nandroids directly to a PC, but is it possible to restore those too/open the backup to view the files? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
