I am looking for ways to backup and restore the nand since TWRP does not currently support this.
I am a flashaholic and it would be wonderful to have a way to pull and restore the nand.

The problem is that I can not access the NAND flash any more after i made a backup with resco backup...
Probably, i have to change the registry to find the NAND again????
Please help me who knows what to do!!!!
Restore factory settings and hopefully you will be OK
On format Nand flash in programs you can also Recover Nand flash. This deletes all on the flash. Just make sure the Nand flash is there after switching off/on
Worked for me on 5 devices this week
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 am planning on installing a custom ROM, currently I am running stock one. Anyways, I was reading online that some people had problems with Titanium backup restore so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to do a backup using clockworkmod and then restore the data partition ONLY using Advanced Restore option to restore my apps and data.
I think clockworkmod is more reliable.
Will this work? since I will be using different ROM's?
Thanks.
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?)
I'd like to know if it's possible to backup all my partitions including my EFS partition before I start hacking away at the phone?
I found the thread about it but it says to flash it via custom recovery, but in order to get that custom recovery, I have to use AutoRec, which modifies the very partitions I'm trying to preserve, so I'm a bit of a dilemma here.
I'm just looking for a way to make sure I don't completely brick the phone and in the same time have a 'clean-slate' button at my disposal which restores stock everything, including partitions, roms, recoveries and any other modification.
Cheers.
There is no way to backup entire partitions without root but you can backup photos/music you would need a recovery to backup these partitions or a rooted adb but recovery is the best and easiest way
