I made a backup of my stock rom that was rooted with CWM before I flashed Phiremod 6.3 and then 7 to my nook.
Is it safe to flash my backup back to my nook?
It should be safe but the question is why you want to "flash my backup back to my nook"?
Yes you would use the restore function of CWM. Go into back/restore then restore then select your backup and hit restore.

Hello
What is a nandroid backup? How do i do a nandroid backup? I have a nexus one flashed CM 6.00 RC2
Thanks in advance
basically a nandroid is a image of your phone, like a backup in windows, when you restore a nandroid it puts your phone back how it was when you made it, with data and apps and everything.
well, first you gotta boot into recovery.
which did you install? Clockwork or Amon_Ra? Not that they are that different
Then go to backup/restore and select nandroid backup then restore it whenevery your phone/rom is not working correct.
I installed ROM manager and flashed the clockwork mod. In the ROM manager do i enter recovery mode?

You can, or you can select backup current rom in rom manager
I have made a CWR backup of my rooted 1.1 stock rom with all my installed apps. I tried out the new 1.2 update and then tried to restore my backup. Everytime I connect to Wifi I get a message about problem authinticating and having to reflash to stock. How can I get my backup to restore correctly? Wipe data/cache? Won't that take out all my apps? Or am I stuck going back through 1.1 stock, autonooter, install apps/titanium restore?
Apologies if this is a daft question.
If I take a nandroid backup (with CWM) from a .32 based ROM and then upgrade to a .35 rom (Aurora), can I easily go back to the .32 ROM simply by restoring the backup??
Kind of looking for an insurance policy if I don't like .35 based ROMs.
Thanks.
yes and no. You will need to downgrade back to 2.2 .32 kernel and reinstall the same cwm recovery version you made the backup with, then you can restore your backup. So yes, you could have your phone back to the way it was, but no you can't go straight back to your backup.
I was able to restore Angry birds (with all my stars)and even my text message history from an Nandroid backup using Titanium Backup. With the Nandroid on the SDCard,open Titanium Backup (requires Root) Go to Backup/Restore. Press Menu key, Press "Extract from Nandroid backup". After that it should be pretty straightforward.
I hope this helps you.
Can I do a backup of the stock rom and then restore it?

Yes.
Tou have to be rooted and have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
1) Access the recovery mode menu by pressing and holding the Volume Down key and Power button.
2) Go to backup and restore > backup (to save in external SD) OR backup to internal sdcard (to save in internal SD)
3) Wait for the process to finish.
An app is available on the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5oM3IzdDFjLm9ubmFuZGJ1cCJd) that can perform a nandroid backup without switching to recovery mode.
In either case, it is mandatory to have a rooted device.
Be aware that the latter method CAN do bakups, but CANNOT perform restores, therefore having a CWM enabled recovery is mandatory, as well.
Will I lose cwm and root if I restore?
Because when you flash something througt odin you lose cwm and root
No, you don't loose anything when you restore with CWM. You loose root and CWM when you flash a firmware with Odin.

Thanks for all
So I am currently on Paranoid Android and wish to switch to another ROM (most likely AOKP or PACman just to try). In TWRP recovery, what would I select to just back up my app data and NOT my ROM, and after that is possible, what must I restore to get it back and in what order of flashing alon with my new ROM and GAPPS???:silly:
You can go into TWRP and backup and choose what partitions you want to backup. However, I'd suggest you backup everything and don't try to restore the data to another ROM.
I use Titanium to backup all app data as well as MMS history, WiFi networks etc then do a full backup in TWRP. Then wipe everything and flash the new ROM. Then boot up and reconfigure accounts and restore apps + data with titanium.
It may be a little more effort but this way you can always roll back to the previous setup if anything goes wrong and you're less likely to run into any weird issues from moving data around between ROMs.
Or you could try something like app2zip off the play store to make a flashable zip of only selected apps and data which is probably safer than the whole partition. If you do a full backup first you can always rollback if something goes wrong.
When using Titanium Backup, when I hit run backup, where does it go and how do I restore it after I flash my new ROM. Or do I do the update.zip option and flash that when I'm doing my new ROM?

It goes into a folder on /sdcard called TitaniumBackup. When you flash a new rom, you will need to redownload titanium backup. When you redownload it, it will find the backups and you can click on the app to restore it.
Theres no need to use the update.zip method. Do it like this ^
