With the option of being able to install another ROM, would it be possible to pull a Bell Atrix stock backup and restore that backup to a ATT Atrix.

Hello,
My MT3G phone stopped working so Tmo replaced it for another MT3G (same, not 1.2 or anything) which is of course not rooted and has 1.6 firmware so it is harder to root.
I do have a Nandroid backup of the old rooted MT3G. Can I just restore that to the new phone to get it rooted (and get all the apps back) or would that brick it and I have to root the new phone from scratch?
TIA!

After you root the new device and flash the exact same recovery then all you need to do is copy the old devices nandroid directory to your desktop. Open the Nandroid folder on your desktop and you should see a folder that starts with H******.
Do a nandroid backup of your CURRENT settings on the new phone.
You should do this for two reasons.
1) So that you have a backup in cashis doesn't work for you... but it should.
2) So you can get your new device name. (H*******) You can also obtain this by fastboot devices or adb shell devices
Rename the old devices H****** folder with the new one and do your restore.
It would be wise to backup both nandroid backups to your computer just in case. Make sure not to confuse either of them.
Rename the nandroid
so that means that I have to root the new phone before restoring the nandroid backup from the old phone?
Restoring the nandroid backup from the old phone will not root the new phone?

How else can you nandroid restore?
You MUST have root already.
silly me
I was wondering if anyone had a fresh Bell cwm nandroid backup? I made one before i upgraded to the telstra firmware, but for some reason my sd card was formatted and i lost the backup. I just wanted to have the ability to restore to the Bell software if an ota update comes out.
Can anyone help me out?
My droid x is running 2.3.340 and is rooted. I would like to update it to the newest Gingerbread (4.5.602) prerooted. I just have a few questions.
Will the update erase everything on my phone/sd card? If I am backed up via the bootstrapper, can I use the backup to restore things or will that just restore me onto Froyo? If I won't be able to restore in that way, what can i use to backup?
Thanks so much!
I'm pretty sure that if you try to restore your CWM from froyo, it wont work on GB. You'll have to load GB and make a new backup. Titanium backup, however, should be able to restore your apps.
Yeah use titanium to back up your apps and that should restore just fine. Restoring from CWM might brick your phone since your switching between the two versions

I have a n900w8 running cm11. I need to go back to stock.
I have a nandroid of my stock rom and was wondering if i can go back using my backup or if i need to use odin to downgrade?
Just want to make sure there are no issues with bootloaders etc if i restore my backup.
Thanks
Well as technically Nandroid backups are just a clone of your previous OS you should be able to flash it just fine, BUT you should not. Cause in doing that you will face several problems, multiple apps force closing would be one of them. So yes, just wipe the phone first, I mean a complete wipe, then flash a stock ROM of your choice via Odin, root, then restore apps with their data manually using Titanium. I mean the option in Titanium which says install the missing apks only, just hit on that, not the whole system wide restore, cause that will create problem too.
I don't know what model is that though, I have a N9005, so what I said might not even be applicable for your model.

Better to flash the latest stock firmware for your device via Odin.
and restore app(s) later.
rooted and rommed a friend's note 3 to jasmine, and before we did it we upgraded titanium backup to the pro edition via marketplace, without realizing that it had deleted all three backups that were all in separate locations, one in the default location, one on the SD card and one in the phone's internal storage.
before I did anything to the phone rom wise I made a nandroid backup via twrp and I cannot boot it into an emulator successfully AND get the texts from it through installing titanium backup, creating a backup and copying it off, didn't work out.
so now what I need is a way to load up a nandroid backup without corrupting the backup. every time I try to restore the backup into the phone it bootloops, only thing I can think of that would interfere with it is the kernals, NC2/4. jasmine is currently running on NC2 and the stock firmware with the texts on it uses NC4, when I tried reflashing NC4 to the device after reintalling the backup it bootlooped, and vice versa with NC2.
thoughts/suggestions? sol on the texts?
thanks.
Never tried this but worth a shot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore

I'll give it a go.
followed the steps found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/general/extract-restore-sms-mms-contacts-call-t1370349
and had no success, doing the same via root explorer and nandroid manager to get the original files from the backup, nothing was restored.
I'm assuming that they're just gone after that?
rom manager text restore found nothing, quite a few were backed up though so who knows. not a good thing to lose them all.
