If you unlock the bootloader can put CWM and TWRP recowery.
Owners "XT905" do a full backup using CWM or TWRP recowery. (Boot cache data recovery system)
If you do not want your data that used to hit me. You can do:
1. Make a backup of cache, data.
2. Make a Wipe Data / cache
3. Make a backup for me (boot cache data recovery system)
4. Restore a backup of art created in "1".
In advance, thanks!

My suggestion is that your read through the forums here as there are several "beginner guides" that will get you started.
After you installed your first custom rom the process proves itself to be easy:
- Flash a stock ROM (2.2 nordic)
- Acquire root using SuperOneClick
- Instal Clockworkmod recovery/2ndInit (I prefer 2ndInit)
- Transfer the nandroid backup (.zip file) to the root of your SD card
- Reboot phone when led turns blue hit volume down
-Wipe data
-Wipe cache
-Wipe Dalvik (It's under advanced)
-Restore -> select update zip from sdcard
- Browse to the nandroid backup file you put on your sdcard in step 4
Done
Hi all,
So I'm facing a problem with my Defy after flashing some ROMs, as detailed in this post.
Since I've made Nandroid-backups when everything was OK, my natural answer was to restore the phone to a previous state using it.
But for some reason after restoring a Nandroid (I've tried with both I have) my phone stucks with the Google logo and never finish booting...
Those are the steps I follow to restore a Nandroid:
1. Boot into Recovery Mode
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Wipe dalvik cache
5. Restore system & data (choose nandroid by date)
6. Reboot system now
Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I restore my phone to a previous date?
Any idea is greatly appreciated...
You might have flashed gb kernel ROMS as well. Probably now you are coming from a GB kernel build to a froyo kernel build.
You need follow these steps, restore system+data, boot, devtree, and optionally recovery. Check if you have boot.img, devtree.img files in your nandroid. You should use cwm recovery which has these options to restore, they will present in Advanced restore.

Thank you. I would've tried this. But yesterday night I did a full SBF so that I could restart using the phone. So I've lost access to root and CMW. Will bring those back when I have a chance and, then, ROMize it all over again...
Cheers.

Try using the normal option after the restore in the boot option in bootmenu rather than 2nd-init
Might be a stupid question, but anyone know how to do this? I want to only keep PSX And neo with no other data on it (Such as games that require downloaded data, apps and etc). Wiping data on CWM doesn't wipe everything (Yes I did cache and dalvik as well), would wiping the sdcard wipe everything and leave the ROM? Hopefully someone can help, thanks
Also, if the only way of wiping brings me back to stock/unrooted, would I still have CWM installed to install custom ROMs and such still?
These are the wipes you are looking for:
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. mounts and storage > format sdcard
4. advanced > wipe dalvik cache
That should leave you with a empty/clean internal sd card, no data (apps, settings, etc.), and your current rom and kernel.
if you want to completely wipe everything and go back to stock Android, just use one of the toolkit and flash stock image. it will wipe everything in the phone.
Or just fast boot the images including the userdata file it'll erase the entire phone memory. Toolkits are convenient but you should know how to use fastboot too it saved me when my recovery wouldn't boot and there was no ROM on the phone.

Guys, do TWRP backups work well? I still have the stock and I made a backup of the rom with TWRP, if you install a custom and if you want to go back to the stock, just format data and do the wipes cache date and system, and install the backup?
When I touch reboot>power off button, TWRP is asking me to install TWRP
Should I Swipe to instaal TWRP app?
Booting is still working with Stock ROM, transferred Gapps & Custom ROM
Lenovo Recovery System Installed
Lets organize everything to someone that will help me
1. Installing TWRP
- When I typed the command <fastboot reboot> TWRP boots successfully, but when turn off Lenovo Recovery System boots again
2. Wipe data
- Which option do I need to select? Wipe cache, dalvic cache, system, data
- Can I just go to Install option and choose Custom ROM from device storage, without Wiping data first?
- If I select wipe data first it won't be erase files <Custom ROM & Gapps> from the actual OS?
Thanks !:laugh:
