How do you do nandroid backup with rom manager? I just see a "backup and restore " options in recovery. When using RA GNM, I see an actual nandroid backup option in recovery.
Thanks

While in recovery using CWM, click the backup and restore, and choose backup. It'll do its thing after that.

did a search didnt find anything...
I hear ppl backup and restore there using cwm what does that do ? why does it actually restore?
When you back up using CWM you are doing what is called a nanadroid back up. When you run the back up it creates a complete image of your phone in its current state so all system and data apps, personal settings widgets on your home screen etc are all backed up. So if you flash a new rom and you don't like it rather than starting from scratch you can just restore your nandroid and your phone will be back to the state it was before you flashed the new rom
I would recomend doing a nadroid back up before you flash anything in recovery, some people might say this is required but in my personal experince it can't hurt.

If you flash something in cwm that you were not supposed to, like a theme not designed for your rom, it can cause the phone not boot. If you did a nandroid you can just restore and everything will be back to how it was before you flashed

it is a really simple thing.. I just did it for the first time and it feels easy and nice to have your whole system backed up on your sd card
This maybe the most dumb,noob question ever. lol. but how do you make a Nandroid backup?
Have you rooted and s-off?
And have you correctly installed clockwork?
Like the previous post says, you need s off and clockwork mod recovery installed. Boot into recovery and choose the backup restore option. Then backup. It will back it up to your SD card by creating a system image backup.

oh yes i have both those things lol. i have a custom ROM on my phone i was just wondering what it was. thanks
You can also do it through the clockworkmod app on your phone. I reccomend this way because you cant lable them through the recovery itself. I learned this the hard way, and forgot witch backup was witch.
Nandroid
Was wondering what Nandroid was Myself thanks for clearing that up for me also
Hi all,
I'm having some problems doing a Nandroid Backup in CWM.
I go into Rom Manager and reboot to recovery.
I select Backup/Restore and run a backup before attempting to flash a new rom.
I get all the way to Backing up Data... And it Freezes about halfway through. It happened yesterday and today.
I'm running Stock Rooted 2.2.2.
Can anyone help?
Did you wipe first? I always do before restoring a nandroid and haven't seen any issues.

Just want to make sure if the nandroid backup & restore is really working on Sensation with latest CWM since I have made a bunch of backups and I am heavily messing around with the phone for the past 48 hours lol... Just to be sure this backups are going to actually work in case I screw the phone...

Yes.... Works great.

Do remember that clockwork /nandroid restore will not restore the kernel. If you flashed a rom that's using a custom kernel, you will need to flash the stock kernel before trying to restore your backup or you will get stuck in a boot-loop.
Thank you both! Just wanted to confirm!

Question. What was the total file size of the Backup (stock ROM)?

Yes, I'd love to know this along with how to get a copy of the original kernel....or is the kernel in the .zip files on the regional oem rom thread?
not working for me
You can find the stock kernel in the second post in the Android Revolution HD thread over in the development section.

isnt the boot.img the kernel and init stuff? i was under the assumption it was backed up when you do a nandroid on most devices (like HTC). the RFS file system samsung uses on their devices prevented us from backing up and restoring a boot.img file so we have to always have a kernel in case of the good ol boot loop
so to go back to stock kernel, i install it to the sd card then flash it in recovery right?

Yeap... That's how you flash a kernel, but not needed if what you want to do is restore from a nandroid backup... To restore just select the nandroid backup you want to restore. No need to flash any kernel prior restoring from nandroid.

since when do you have to reflash a stock kernel in order to flash your backup? I have tried every rom out here for the sensation didn't like any of them and reflashed my backup of stock with no issues....

This is not true. Nandroid contains the kernel image.
You would only have to flash a different kernel AFTER you restore, if you don't want to use the one that you backed up.
To the point, nandroid restore works perfect with 4.0.1.5 CWM. I confirm.
Getting mixed signals here guys. Does nandroid backup / restore the kernel?

Yes... Restore everything exactly when you back it up... Kernel and everything exactly.

Nandroid is just the CWM backup? Or am I missing something?

I always see in every ROM thread to do a Nandroid back up before flashing a new rom but I don't know how to do it. I had been always flashing roms without doing any kind of back ups, except text messages. now that im curious about it and for future issues. how do I do it, the nandroid backup?

In ROM manager tap "back up current ROM " or in recovery choose "backup and restore"
The back up (nandroid) will back up everything but the radio... It'll make an exact copy of your ROM.
Then when you need to... In rom manager, tap backup and restore... Then choose your latest backup.. Or whichever backup you wish to restore.
Basically same process from recovery screen.

I would recommend performing the backup/restore while in clockwork mod recovery. Its less problematic than doing it in rom manager.
