So I got through the entire ROM installation process, checked out EaglesBlood, then backed up and took a look at CM7. Now I'm wanting to go back to EaglesBlood.
My question is this: Can I just choose restore while I'm in recovery mode and get everything back (including the EaglesBlood ROM) or do I need to do a wipe and then reinstall EaglesBlood before I restore my settings?
Thanks!

alright lemme get this straight, did you do a nandroid backup eagles blood?
if you did you have to wipe system/ data and wipe cache then restore backup
Yeah, sorry, I worded that strangely.
I did a nandroid backup of EaglesBlood. Now I'm wondering if I can do a nandroid restore without flashing EaglesBlood again, or if I have to flash EaglesBlood and THEN do the nandroid restore.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have the nvflash recovery thing on my G2x and there is this very weird thing that happens that I was wondering if anyone else experienced.
The first time I flashed the CM7 I backed up the whole thing and restored and everything was fine. Then I did some stuff and backed up again except this time when I restore all my apps are gone and none of the widgets work so I restore the first backup again and everything is fine. Then I add all the stuff I added on stock and backup again. Then I restore the new one and the same thing happens but when I restore the first backup everything is fine.
Am I doing something wrong? Or has anyone experienced this before?
Are you performing a WIPE before you restore from the NANDROID Backup?
When ur backing up the rom u don't wipe anything rite? Just go into recovery and backup? Cuz ur not supposed to wipe anything just go in and backup
Yes, I am performing a wipe before I restore and no I'm not performing a wipe before the backup lol otherwise there would be nothing to backup
I have a updated g2x (gingerbread via Lg updater) installed NVflasher was able to boot into recovery performed a nandroid back up did a full wipe and was going to flash Xbroarders rom until i relized i put it on my internal instead of external so i then tried to flash my back up and got "no file found"did a reboot and all im getting is a black screen wit flashing keys. plz help
ok since we getting more roms and have hellraiser over there opening the door. i have ALOT of nandroid back ups.
now having never had to actually use one of these i wanted to know somethings.
is a nandroid like a Rom, i just have to flash over another rom, or from stock and boom i have that Rom back with all my apps and info.
or do i need to load up the rom then nandroid on top of that for it work??
just have never had a use, but i would like to go back to some of my prior setups.
A nandroid is a system restore basically. If you fubar something and can get into recovery you can restore that nandroid to exactly where the phone was before. You don't need to flash anything just be able to get into recovery.

A nandroid will reflash system, data, cache - everything. The only thing a Nandroid won't flash is a kernel if you're doing a major change (e.g. Froyo to Gingerbread or either of those to CM7 - while it's also GB, it requires special kernels.)

ok with that said, you should flash the Kernel before the nandroid to make sure there is a compatible kernel there for the nandroid to use??
basically match up froyo roms and kernels and visa versa for BG before i decide to flash a Nandroid?

Yup, that would be a good idea - since if you restore the nandroid on an incompatible kernel, you'll have the phone be very unhappy. (Will refuse to boot.)
Much thanks E.........appreciate the time bruh.
this can be closed.
I completely failed here E, i tried to restore a nandroid. i loaded the Infusion GB Kernel then proceeded to restore the nandroid and just get boot loops no matter how i do it.
any thoughts??
Hmm I think I need to look at this later in the week. Starting to sound like Nandroid might be broken in red CWM.
i got it, but i had to load the Kernel - Rom - then do the nandroid. but that kinda of defeats the purpose in my eyes....lol
but yea, if you find something that would be cool to know E.
What is the proper way to restore a nandroid backup of Infused 1.5.3 (Froyo) from any of the Gingerbread ROMs out there now?
Whenever I try it I end up with a bootloop and have to start from scratch.

I haven't done it yet, but the following should work:
Flash a Froyo kernel
Restore the Nandroid
do NOT reflash whatever ROM was included - Nandroid backs up /system
If that doesn't work, something's broken in CWM.

Ensure that your nandroid is on sd-ext, because I think internal sd gets wiped?
+1, return to stock froyo, then restore nandroid. That should be it.

Ahhh, flashing the Froyo kernel first makes sense. Never did that, Next time I go back I will try that.
This is what I did
-> From GTG's GB V2.0.2, went to stock ( root+3e recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
-> Then install V1.5.3 froyo in CWM. Wipe data/factory reset for safe side. Just the Apps get deleted.. Data on Internal SD is not wiped.

That is the complete opposite result of using a nandroid backup. The purpose of a nandroid backup is to be able to go back to a "frozen point of time" without having to configure everything all over again.

Please read threads more carefully before you post. The process you describe has NOTHING to do with a Nandroid restore.

I am going to try it later today! The whole Odin back to stock reroot thing is getting old
I am confused, do I wipe data/factory reset or format data???
Backup only user apps with titanium backup, run nandroid backup, wipe cache, wipe/factory reset, flash rom

I guess sometimes we have to learn the hard way...stupid noob that I am. If I would spend more time reading before I jump in and make a change I think my life would be a lot easier. Flashed the update yesterday including the SuperWipe Lite and then spent all day reloading everything using Ti Backup. Got all my app data back but most of my settings and all of my widgets were screwed up.
So question is if I use nandroid next time, does it make the process of restoring everything easier? Or should I just skip the SuperWipe all together? I would love to play with some of the other ROMS but I'm gunshy now to try it.

If you're wanting to try different ROM a nandroid is not how to do it. Since a nandroid backup save everything "as is" at the time of the backup. So if you flash a new ROM and do a nandroid restore you're back at square one.
A nandroid backup is good if you want to try different things and restore back to where you were.
Titanium Backup is still the way to go IMO. I use it and restore only apps + app data. The Google account should handle the system settings.
Take me about 15 minutes to go from ROM to ROM initially.
Also when updating the same ROM there's no need to wipe (unless stated otherwise).

Can i restore a back up made under CWM from TWRP?
how do you restore the back up?
am i missing steps? Fix permissions?
do i need to recalibrate my battery each time?
Thanks

You can only restore CWM backups with CWM and TWRP backups with TWRP. As of now CWM 6's backup function is broken but it is being worked on. So make sure your Backups are from either TWRP or CMW 5 if you want them to work.
To restore a backup I wipe data/factory reset and wipe system. Then choose the backup I want to restore. No need to fix permissions unless things start to act funny after the restore. As far as battery calibration goes it's a myth.

With R6, Bryan said he fixed the backup and restore issues with CWM6. Idk about the rest of the features
When you say "Cyanogen" I think many assume you mean CM9 (ICS).
If you are running CM7 (GB), be very careful how you restore. Most system data (and perhaps some user data) from GB is not compatible with ICS.

As Fb said in the post you linked you flash the boot.img that came with your rom or reflash the rom.
The more times you flash roms the more issues you could have with "gremlins". Read more about it in the link.
