If you are doing nandroid restore you don't have to wipe at all, just restore.

When a restoring a Nand backup through CWM, does it actually wipe data,cache,boot etc..
Or do we have to manually wipe everything.
I noticed that when restoring it said erasing boot and stuff.
Asking because i always run into trouble when restoring a backup, Would be helpfull if someone can share the proper way of restoring a backup.

By default restoring a backup through cwm recovery does not wipe everything. If you choose to restore through Rom Managaer you will be given the option to wipe data, cache etc. I would recommended doing wipes manually, just to avoid any issues that may occur from not doing it before a nand restore

Wiping data/cache is enough or should we format boot/system etc?
It'd be better to do a manual wipe before restoring (system, data, cache, dalvik).
I want to update my Rom from NSCallob 1.0.51 to 1.0.60 without losing my apps or at least using some kind of backup to restore my apps after the update. Any help would be great thanks.

Titanium backup for sure.
I don't know that ROM specifically, but if it is just a minor release update you may not have to wipe anything but dalvik cache. Personally, i'd do a nandroid backup, wipe dalvik cache and cache, then flash the new version. If there is trouble, restore the nandroid, use titanium backup and do a full wipe, then restore with TB.

Just wiping dalvik cache will surfice when updating NSCollab! I know because I've done it myself with this rom on quite a few occasions!
Yup just wiping the dalvik cache will it freeze at the Google bootup screen, luckily I didn't a backup prior to the update!

Hi All,
Forgive me if my question is nooby! But I just wanted to ask before I do anything to my phone.
So, I have backed up a ROM via CWM. Now if I were to restore that ROM, do I have to do the "wipe data/factory reset" and Wipe Dalvik Cache or I can just Restore?
Kind Thanks!
With cwm no idea. With 4ext there is no need since it is done automatically. Give it a shot or check the script when it is being done to see what it says. Worst case scenario is pull the battery, wipe, flash.
When wiping all you need is
Wipe data/factory reset
Format all (except sd card). - (this last one is probably all that is needed really).
Once again 4ext, no idea with cwm.

I prefer to do a full wipe before restoring a nandroid, but I have restored without the wipe. Don't recall any I'll effects.

Yeah! That's what I've learnt so far! Thanks!
is there any need to do any wiping if restoring a nandroid backup? would there be any benefit?
thanks

Nah, not that I know of. I do a factory reset and system wipe just out of habit. I'm fairly certain restoring a nandroid wipes the system partition in the initial steps.

What is the process? Factory wipe then restore? Or wipe then format data? Can I format everything then restore? I am coming from BoneStock ROM and restoring to JellyBean v19.
You don't have to do anything. I always do a factory reset then restore my nandroid. The restore will wipe System as its first step anyway so doing anything more is optional not required.
