Ok i have a question.. NAND backup is those backup that make from CWM?
a full backup right?
If yes, here's the story... previously i have used a defy with CM 7.1 and i had this NAND Backup.. After that i sold the phone and now i had another DEFY with stock 2.1.. now is it possible to restore that NAND BAckup?
Simply put it Device A backup NAND A and then NAND A restore to Device B..
is it possible?

If checksums differ - then not possible.
But if you use the same SD card and play around without verification..then its possible!!

means i need to use back the same SD card as previous device..?
and what you mean without verification and what is checksums?
You should have "Titanium Backup". I use this to restore alle "my" Apps... I don't restore the system settings
not sure. but I'd say you can use your backup. just install the system you used to have (cm7.1) the official way and after that you should be able to restore your backup.
so now i need to do step by step to flash custom cm7.1 then restore from backup or direct now root it install cwm and restore it?
As I said. As far as I know: Flash Froyo, install CWM, flash CM7, restore backup. By that you should be on the save side. BUT try otherwise. You might be lucky.
ok thanks will try to do that.. i think safe method better =D
Some of the ROMs you can download here ARE nandroid backups. So if you are having about the same model of defy then is the answer yes (why not?)

Just recently rooted my MT3g, had to downgrade from Donut to Cupcake. Anyways, I forgot to perform a Nand backup while on the "stock" Cupcake rom. I instead went straight to flashing a Hero rom. Everything is well, it's just that I want to perform a Nand backup in case something goes wrong.
So the question is...
Can I perform a Nand backup while currently on this Hero (Slick Willy) rom?
Ps. There's an option to perform a Nand + ext backup. Please explain. Thanks.
i dont ever use a nandroid on a hero...it just doesnt seem like it would work. i usually do it on a cyanogen rom because those are the most stable...and do not need a cleen ext partition to boot properly.

Okay thanks, how about if I re-root my phone and perform a nandroid backup on the "stock" 1.5 cupcake?
I like DFT just fine and I have no problems execute and flash in windows
why do i want clockwork and use update.zip ?
any other advantages other than Nandroid backup ?
u can back up all the crap with ti backup / sms backup to gmail anyways

The real advantage of ClockWork is quick ROM management. You can have many builds and switch between them easily by backing them up and restoring them. You can also flash only portions of a ROM (Updates and such) without losing all your data. For example, if someone releases a new GAPPS package, you can simply flash it and it will update all GAPPS without needing to reinstall the full ROM and lose all your data.
Also, it's the system of choice for CM builds... And Android modding in general.
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?
I currently have rooted with clockworkmod and am wanting to upgrade to 2.2 for apps2sd and openGL ES 2 etc
Cheers

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.
Hello,
today i have just tried to install Windows Phone 7 on my HD2.
Before i have created an nandroid backup with clk cwm.
I didnt like WP7 so i've decided fast to return back to my old rom.
I didnt find my old clk installation files so i've downloaded some new one (same cwm partitions)
Now if i want to restore my backup cwm gives me the following lines:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Error while flashing boot image!
And i'm back in the menu.
Can anyone help me please? I have set up this rom for so long time and dont want to lose it.
Regards.
files maight be currompted ...just intsall everything from the begening and in the next time when u will make a backup copy the file into ur computer so u dont have to worry about the backup
Try flashing the rom clean, and then use selective restore to restore the data and sd ext partitions only.

I think the boot image was corrupted. I did copy it onto my computer (how should i have not, due to the sd repartitioning by wp7)

Thank you anyway.

as my experience some builds accept restoring of nandroid from another build but many of them don't accept. so what is best flash your old rom, restore nandroid, then backup with titanium backup, then flash the other rom and restore with titanium backup.
I have a nexus 4, which unlocked and rooted standard android on it.
I have backed up my apps with titanium and backed up the rom via TWRP.
My question is if I change to a different rom using ROM Toolbox, will I be easily able to restore my apps from the phone or do I need the backed up elsewhere, does all the phone content get wiped?
Related to the above can i restore my existing rom, easily if I want to go back to it?

You do not need to wipe (format) your internal SD card so all your data will still be there (songs, pictures, apps on which you have performed backup on via titanium etc).
You should be able to restore your apps with titanium but sometimes there are apps that cause some problems.
And sure, you can go back to your nandroid backup (your old rom) at any time with TWRP.

Thanks for the advice.
So if I use rom toolbox, I just download and install a rom as zip, but do not wipe anything, is that correct?
