What is the best way to back up Nandriod on an HTC HD2? I have an aversion to trying most of the methods because they seem to all be specifically tailored to Native Android phones.
I take it that you have MAGLDR and Clockwork installed... why not just backup using the AD Recovery option in MAGLDR 1.13 and then choosing 'Backup and Restore'. Then just follow your nose.
So to clarify;
ClockworkRecoveryMod isn't its own ROM?
Nor will it override my current rom if I installed the rom before CRM?
You need to wipe your current rom to install clockwork. Flash clockwork from Magldr "usb flasher" then access clockwork with "boot ad recovery" option on magldr. Once in clockwork, install roms in zip format from SD card. You can also do full backup/restore and partition SD for sd-ext using clockwork.

I am also interested to know how to do it
Ironically the program in Clockwork is actually called 'Nandroid Backup' lol. It's not got to doo with HD2 and NAND Android though.
Basically you can't flash CWM and keep your current DFT ROM. It'll erase it as when you have clockwork you don't install ROM's by DFT flasher, you do it by .zip files on the phone.
Basically if you want to backup your settings and apps use a program like 'Titanium Backup' or 'MyBackup Pro'. Mybackup is my personal favourite, but it's up to you. It saves to your SD card so you can keep the file stored on your PC incase you need to back up.
Right Scellyyy and I also suggest to backup the SD card on the PC because for some ROM's you need to format or partition the SD card.
So if the Originial ROM is backuped you are now able to restore all the data.
1. Backup with Titanium or so
2. Copy whole SD card to PC
3. Be sure to have the actual installed ROM
4. Install Mag, Cwm and the NAND ROM of your choice with the certain tutorial for that
5. If you don't like it: Just flash the old ROM
6. Copy SD data back
7. Restore backup and your done

When i choose "AD Recovery" i get the message:"No boot source"
you have to flash clockworkmod recovery aka cwm. it's basically a separated partition for nandroid.

Hi, a quick question.. If I am using a desire based rom (NAND) and I want to back up as much as I can (apps, configs, contacts, everything?) to test another nand rom without having to install and set up everything, what is the best way to do this? I am new on this. Thanks! I appreciate it.
Use CWM to backup and restore everything (apps, settings, messages... everything)
Select AD SD in MAGLDR (or AD Recovery) and follow the logical prompts.
To restore, follow the same steps but choose 'restore' rather than 'backup'.

Agreed, but if you have NAND rom installed without CWR, then you can use Titanium Backup program from market. Do not install CWR if you do not have it currently. As it will wipe everything from your phone.
On other note if you are not using CWR then start using it. It is the best thing you can have.
But, can I use CWR with every rom out there? or the rom has to be installed via CWR to be able to recovery?

You won't be able to use every rom out there on CWR. But there are only couple of ROMs like that. Mostly all the devs are moving towards CWR. If you have TMOUS HD2 then i would recommend 400MB partition CWR, so you will not have to edit those partitions for different ROMs.
And just in case you want to try new NAND build which does not have CWR version, you can definitely do that. Later you can install CWR again and get your old ROM back after you try new one.

Hi,
Check THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him).
I believe it gives you the option to switch bootloaders...

Hi,
Yes it will erase data,but you can do a Nandroid backup,then advanced restore data.
which software??
I've used CWM sometimes to backup my NAND...
I don't know any other software.

Hi,
Go into magldr>ad recovery>backup and restore.
Press backup
I've already made this!
error:
ANDROID LOAD RAW
ERROR: ERROR: INVALID BOOT IMAGE HEADER
But thx for help!
I will try this steps:
G. How do i change from cLK to MAGLDR?
1) Backup your current rom using recovery on cLK.
2) Open toolkit, and choose Wipe (Task29) on the bottom right.
3) Follow instructions and come back to toolkit after completing that.
4) Follow instructions from A. and D.
5) Download this file and put it on your sd. (Thanks to tytung for the file)
6) Go to recovery and restore the backup you made.
7) Install the zip file you copied to your sd.
8) Reboot and you are ready to go.
Hello,
Ive magldr cwm recovery installed, and a magldr NAND rom.
Yesterday i tried to play with rom manager.
I didnt know it only work with clk, and i made the mistake to update recovery throug rom manager.
So it broke my MAGLDR cwm recovery :-(
My question is : can i repair my MAGLDR cwm recovery without wiping my rom?(because i didnt recently do a nandroid backup)
Thx for your help.
Unfortunately, no you can't.
The only way to fix your cwm is to re install cwm. And that will wipe off your rom, data and everything else.
Edit:
wow, i never knew about that !

We are just writing an image to the already created recovery partition,, not using daf to write a partition layout. It's just like flashing a rom, but only the recovery partition is affected.
In the android nand section, titled something like "clockworkrecovery, nand,SD, ver 5.0.2 yes/no stable" or something, (currently top post
Get both
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip (3.93 MB, 1153 views)
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip (4.25 MB, 3415 views)
Extract and copy the SD card ver onto SD card (copy the two files to SD, done)
And then copy the whole cwr.zip to SD card too.
Then, into magldr, "ad SD" will boot into the cwm files you placed on SD, and choose instal zip from SD,,, choose zip,, and select the cwm.zip you also placed on SD.
This will write the cwm image into the recovery partition without reflashing the cwm partition layout, so nothing lost.
it worked
thank you for your help and your very precise explanations
welcome. Its worth leaving those two files on the SD in case recovery fails for whatever reason, since you can backup and restore just like in nand cwm recovery.

i could not get into the CWM menu, but with your help i was able to flash to a new custom rom.
In attempting this, I get the following error:
Writing recovery partition...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recovery")
E:Error in /sdcard/recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip

Any help?
Perhaps the recovery partition is too small? Perhaps you don't have a recovery partition? Check the flash.cfg you last used for partition sizes you used.
Alternatively, use the SD cwm to make a backup and do a fresh flash.

I have the same error as the person above you. Do you recommend using the SD cwm to flash Recovery_150M_system_44M_cache[v3.0.2.4].zip? I cannot recall what flash.cfg I used.
I think I may have no recovery partition if I recall correctly. I digged through my old files I think this was the flash.cfg I usd:
misc ya 1M

boot yboot|ro 5M

I had the same error. I made a copy of the recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip and copied my original CWMRecovery's recovery-raw.img on top of the new zip's recovery_leo.img file. That got me past the error and AD recovery works now.
Thanks for that just fixing mine as well now
does not work for me, boot AD SD = ssSD Kernel open failed, no idea.
But manage to reinstall the recovery without wipe with Windows version software - HD2 Toolkit, connect USB cable to PC, while phone staying in Andriod, run Toolkit > MAGLDR update recovery > click "update" and done.

Same problem here??? Why?
I have the same problem. Add sd dir does not work. I only get back in the menu.
Using the toolkit and update the recovery shows this fault.
Look attachment.
I want to flash the new ics nexus rom without loosing data. Normal i would flash in ad recovery and make a update. Poorly i tried this Tom manager and now my recovery is broken.
Anyone can help? Sry for my german-english.

Hey,
(I currently use Hyperdroid ROM on my HD2 and since my WIFI connection to the router isnt working since yesterday i wanted to install a new ROM)
I already tried to do a Backup once, but it didn't work.
To create a complete backup of the phone I need to get into CWM. Normally you get there thrue ROM Manager or by "AD Recovery" in the Boot Loader.
For some reason both dont work. even though in installed CWM 3.1.0.0 with Rom Manager.
Last time I tried to do a Backup i flashed CWM in the bootloader, since it wouldn't start - not knowing i wasn't able to boot Android anymore.
Now my question: Where is my mistake? Do I need a certain file on my SD Card that i deleted mistakingly?
I hope my problem is understandable.
Thanks in advance

Why did you flash CWM through Rom Manager rather than using the Daf.exe which comes with the CWM package or the HD2 NAND toolkit? If I am not mistaken, Rom Manager and MAGLDR are not compatible (by which I mean flashing CWM through Rom Manager).
If you just want to install apps, use Titanium Backup from the Android Market, it's free and does the job well.
go there [RECOVERY][NAND|SD][cLK|MAGLDR] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 "YES/NO" STABLE
follow teh instructions for the sd card version of cwm, (load teh extracted files to sd, simple)
magldr - ad sd
this boots cwm from the sd card
use that to make your backup
magldr - usb flasher - reflash the phone with the latest nand cwm and partition layout (that same thread, above)
restart the phone
magldr - ad recovery
cwm - reflash your rom
cwm - backups and restore - advanced restore - restore data and sd-ext
rom manager doesnt play nice with magldr, clk only.

1 - do a cwr full backup (cwr - backup and restore - backup)
2 - flash the new rom as mentioned above, 9 times in 10 it will work fine, no data loss.
if it doesn't boot after the update
3 - in cwr do a 'wipe data factory reset'
4 - flash new rom - let it boot all the way to the android welcome screen, then reboot into cwr
5 - in cwr - backup and restore - advanced restore - restore the sd-ext and data partitions.

Then follow the same steps but instead of wiping everything just flash the update file . Like in CWR choose install zip from sd card . then choose the zip which you just downloaded and flash it .
its actually really simple .
1. Boot into recovery
2. Choose "Install zip from sd card"
3. then "Choose zip from sdcard"
4. Choose the zip file which you just downloaded . the one that has the camera and browser update in it .
oh right, i see now, that option 'flash update.zip from sd' in cwm, , you don't need that one, a normal install zip from sd will do fine, without wiping anything.

Yes it will overwrite your original wmobile rom as booting winsows mobile 6.5 from magldr is not supported yet. You can boot only to windows phone 7 or android. It will not brick your phone it is just bootloader on the top of original bootloader for hd2.

I am also wish to perform an update like the thread starter but I have read from the developer's thread mentioning that I need to reflash the file flash.cfg with a new partition before applying a new update. Would it clean my previous setting of the ROM if I flash a new flash.cfg? Or I still have to go through flashing the entire ROM again? I had previously flash 2 updates on my ROM and noticed a drop in performance speed. I had to do a task29 then reflash back the ROM to get the initial performance speed. Would appreciate anyone's help.
when you flash flash.cfg, you are re riting all teh partitions, so they will all be empty, so you need to do a full backup, flash the new rom, let it boot all teh way first boot, turn off, into cwm, backups and restore - advanced restore - restore sd-ext and then restore data.
