I`ve made a nandroid backup of my original froyo stock rom and have flashed a cm7 rom and then calibrated the battery.
If I want to return to the stock rom by restoring the nandroid backup, will I have to calibrate it again or is the calbration data stored in the backup?
Jeff
If you not sure, you should calibrate it

Hi all,
I own an G1 which is currently running JACxRom-1.4r3. I've made a nandroid backup and then upgraded to JACxRom-1.5r4.
Before that I hoped, that I can restore my sms, settings and so on with nandroid.
But after trying, I realized that a full nandroid restore will also restore the old custom rom.
(Which it does perfectly , but unfortunately this is not what I need right now..)
Therefore I wanted to ask, if I there's a way to restore selectively with nandroid?
My idea was to only restore the data-, cache- and userdata-img files (from nandroid) via fastboot,
hoping that this would leave the freshly installed rom intact. Is this possible?
Cheers, Kleo
Not in recovery but if you go into your sd card..
Nandroid >
then it should have 2 folders with letters not forming any words.
The first 1 on the left is the last back up and the next one on the right is the older nandroid.
For example.
I was running Cyans rom.
Nandroid.
Wipe and flash to soul life.
Nandroid.
On the sd card of mine it will have two folders
The first one is Soul life
and the second one is Cyan.
But I have had trouble after doing this, Nandroid couldn't be preformed but all you do to fix that is remove the nandroid folder off your sd card/place it on your desktop so when you do a nandroid it will create a new folder that's not buggy.
What parts of my phone does a Clockwork backup actually back up?
I am pretty sure it doesn't back up the Modem, correct?
Does it back up both the Kernel and the ROM?
Thanks!
Another question: Is doing a Clockwork backup the same thing as doing a "Nandroid" backup?
if not, what is the difference and how do you do a Nandroid backup?
Thanks (again)!
If im not mistaken a CWM backup and nandroid backup are the same thing, and it only backs up the ROM not ther kernel or the modem

One reply says it does backup the kernel as long as it is a non-voodoo kernel.
This seems right since the backup directory holds all the files that is from the kernel.
I am quite sure that on my phone CWM backup (in recovery mode at least) backs up literally everything.
Does flashing this rom wipe all my data??
Will i lose allm y contacts, messages, settings etc???
If so, how do i backup all of this stuff first?

Yes the recommendation for flash Liberated FR008 is to do a Wipe Data from ClockworkMod before flashing.
You should sync all of your contacts to Gmail using your Google account to preserve them and since you are rooted, you can use Titanium Backup or My Backup Root to save your apps, setting and messages.
Can I flash without wiping data, as the tutorial only says its especially reccomended if im coming from another ROM.
Currently I only have to stock at&T Rom (with some at&t apps removed) installed on my phone

You are coming from a Android 2.1 ROM and flashing an Android 2.2 ROM, so it is a different ROM. This is not a ROM that was made from a 2.1 to 2.2 OTA, so I think the best thing would be to do a rooted backup and then wipe before you flash. I would make a good nandroid backup using ClockworkMod before you flash, too.

What is a rooted backup??
Yeah Ive done a nandroid backup. Is all I need to do is to root with clockwork, then nandroid backup, then install the rom?
I dont need it nand unlocked or anything? Also, is it easy to restore from a nandroid backup?
thanks for your help

A rooted backup would be to install Titanium Backup or My Backup Root to back up your apps, data and settings. You would install these from the Android Market after you have rooted your phone.

No, I suggest that you then backup your apps, data and settings using Titanium or My Backup and then wipe data as per the instructions for flashing.

Yes, when you select the Nandroid option in ClockworkMod, there is a menu selection for both backup and restore. A nandroid backup is a complete backup of your phone that you can restore and go back to if you don't like the new ROM that you flashed. It will restore your phone to the exact point it was before you flashed.

Okay thanks I might try this after work.
Also, waht is the most stable release of Froyo (with HTC Sense) for the Aria?
I've heard that FR008 can have problems with the reception after a flash.
I guess i can always flash it and see what happens and then restore back if i dont like it.

I have not had any reception issues when I flashed Liberated FR008. It runs just fine for me. I have a WiFi connection both at home and at work, so I leave WiFi all the time and I am very pleased with the battery life.
Now, I haven't cared too much about Nandroid backups since nothing is too important for me to save, and I'm running a different ROM almost every day... But what do Nandroid backups backup ? Just the ROM? ROM and data + Kernel ? And If I do a full wipe and I have a Nandroid backup, do I have to Flash the ROM first, then flash the Nandroid over it? Or can I just full wipe and flash the nandroid?
Nandroid isn't something I use a lot (or at all), so this is kinda odd to me.
A nandroid backup is essentially an image of your entire phone. The entire OS, phonebook, messages, settings...everything.
Awesome, so I can just flash the nandroid right after a full wipe, correct?
Yep, absolutely. Just don't forget that only CWM 3.0.0.6 can flash and restore anything. The other versions are limited to Froyo or Gingerbread, not both.
Yeah I know, I flashed 3.0.0.6 the second i saw it did both ROMs, I haven't had a problem since ^_^ But thanks !
+2 to your Thanks Meter
Glad you got it worked out.
Hi, I am currently using the latest CM version, however I have decided to restore my froyo backup, is it as simple as, going on ROM manager and restoring or will i.e. the CM kernel, and other CM parts still exist when I have restored, Thanks
you need to do a full wipe/factory reset before restoring the backup and no cm "parts" will be left
