A nandroid backup is a full backup of your phone, made using ClockWorkMod.
And it is a beautiful thing!

You should learn how to get to recovery by means of ADB and by the phone itself without the use of Rom Manager. Invaluable tools!

is this a thing? does anyone still care? =D
i found this thread discussing the topic

which eventually points to this

i mean, sounds like a good plan to me. i'd like to try the jailbreak but i'm absolutely not downgrading my phone, even if i could find an old rom
i'd try to do it myself, but i'd need pretty straight forward direction
hmm, maybe i'm out of my league xD
i'm using liberated froyo fr008 and the default kernel. can i flash an old kernel?
i mean, without effecting the current rom/system?
anyway, i like liberated but i'ma check out cyanogen now and see what its like =)
I believe the default kernel for liberated let's you overclock and keep your trackball wake and WiFi hotspot also. Previous kernels you would lose all that. Maybe I'm wrong?

No, it's a fully functional recovery, it just add psfreedom menu on the list.

i am curious if there is a way to make a tar file of the stock ROM that we might be able to flash thru Odin if things go wrong? this is what i always did on the Epc 4G. so far CWM seems to be having problems with the sdcard... i have made nandroid backups, but out of curiosity i went to 'restore' and it said it couldn't mount the sd. maybe this will get fixed soon tho.

thanks man, that would be great. if I had stock I would love to walk thru that.... we gotta do it soon and get something going for this phone!
Does anyone know if this is possible? It's supposed to be as simple as one click and it roots the phone (which is what I wanna do.. keep it easy). For some reason, it was taking a while and it didn't work. I'm just guessing, but is it possible it might not work since 2.3 is relatively new? If that's the case, do I gotta go back to 2.2 for this to work or something like that? Or is there another app I can use that'll work just as easy on 2.3?
Any response is appreciated.
Thanks.
be prepared

no you can not root 2.3.3 at all. you will need to put recovery on and flash a prerooted rom from the development section. all instructions are there.

Alright, thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure what you mean by put recovery on exactly (i've never rooted before), but i'm sure I can figure it out.

I'm looking for a way to make an image of my phone. I've tried cwm but it always loops.. I'm not tech savvy so making my own odin through script is out and I've read odin maker is a bust. The i've heard psdroid is making an image maker but can't find info on it... Is there an easy way to make a full image yet?

Of course I did!!! lol I clear cache before everything since learning the hard way .... When I did the Image I was running humble 1.5 used cwm to make an image tried restoring the image I made and bam bootloop. Didnt have a tit backup either so I lost a few paid apps including this one.

There is a bug in the RTC software for this phone. Until that but gets fixed (would have to be by Samsung or VZW) this isnt going to change.
Yeah it sucks but just rename your backups after they are done

I believe if you rename the backup then you will have to remake the MD5 for that backup, which isnt really a big deal. Just wanted to toss that out there.

Install rom manager from the market and flash the latest recovery through that. Walla, they're back to normal. Only fixable by Samsung or vzw? Wtf do people get this stuff? This question gets asked every other day and there are STILL people who think its some unsolvable bug.

That's the first I've heard this. I have the latest cwm touch and wrong dates show. Actually I keep seeing people use RM and the recovery isn't flashing right.

I thought that was normal since those numbers are no where near a type of date, I just rename it once booted into ROM.

That's incorrect. The date issue is still there regardless of how it's flashed in. Some people have reported issues with restoring after renaming. Consensus seams to be if you keep the default cwm assigned name and add your own to the end of it without any spaces, any reported issues dissappear.
Boom! Jellybomb biatch!
annoying for sure. I just rename the moment I am done and booted back up.
TWRP date is also wrong but you can rename them anything you want at time backup. :laugh:
The guy meant backup FROM RM, it allows you to rename the backup file before it gets created, then reboots into recovery and creates the backup.
please try to search for your problem before posting... I'm typically the last to complain about that, but geez us...

TWRP does everything rom manager does except download roms which have been seen to cause bricks. Backups are named before creation also but already booted into recovery. One stop shop. Easier wipe.

I got to jump on that one of these days to see what all the fuss is about, I'm just loving cwm touch too much! I assume when changing, your existing nandroids will become useless, so would make sense to copy onto your cpu incase they are needed down the road...?
Boom! Jellybomb biatch!
