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 think I may have accidently deleted my nandroid backup. Can anyone help upload me a 2.2.1 OTA updated backup please. I am currently running 2.2.1 OTA with fission but I am trying to go back to normal.
find the .32 sbf then to the system only sbf to .340
look in your clockwork folder in backup on your sdcard is there a folder like 2010-00-00 or somthing like that if so then your backup is there
no its not there i know for a fact i dont have it
It's a horrible idea to put someone else's nandroid backup on your phone lol

Ya, not a good idea to share nandroids. Did you already check your clockworkmod folder in your file manager.
With the official Froyo build on the way in a few days, if I flash back to stock, and then root, and do just a a data restore, will that screw everything up since I'm running Nebula's 2.2 rom right now or will I be cool?
I've had lots of issues restoring Nandroid backups.. make sure to run Titanium backups to.
instead of SBFing back to stock completely so I can flash the rooted GB? I'd rather not mess with the hassle of SBFing. To be more clear, I rooted, made a backup, and flashed Liberty 1.5 to be where I am now. Can I just restore that first backup and then flash GB? Thx.
If the backup is based on 2.3.20 then yes you can flash GB from that.
sweet thx a lot
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?
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.
