Uhhhh, use Clockworkmod's back-up(you can find it in Latest recovery>Back and Restore menu). It's the best you got. Depending on the number of apps you have and their size, the back-up might range up from 700mb to 1gb+. It's gonna be a complete image back-up just like you do it on Windows .

thanks, but how can we Restore the backup?

Just launch Clockworkmod then go to Backup and Restore And restore your backup.. lol

no, don't listen to them! the best way would be to strictly avoid reading other posts and immediately open a new thread about "how to wipe your behind"!

Wipe Factory data in stock recovery.
Re-install your Sbf,
then re-root,
re-install 2nd-init
then you can restore your backup.
Hope it helped

thanks
With bluetooth I can not send or receive anything
heeeeeeelp please
Firstly, this belongs in the Q&A section, not in the dev area.
Addressing your problem:
Did you install this over another custom ROM?
Try to deodex again (using the flashable zip file method) and reinstall this ROM?
Take backups (Nandroid and TiB) before embarking on such ventures henceforth.

TiB = Titanium backup, basically same as a PC backup, backs up your userdata and applications, make sure, however, that you place the backup data either on your EXTERNAL SD card or save it on your pc, when you lose your data/flash a new rom, all you have to do is re-install titanium backup and restore the data and apps (although do NOT restore system apps, might cause problems)
Nandroid backup: have you flashed clockworkmod (Comes with CF-Root)?
when you go into recovery mode (either using button combo or using the CWM app you have in your drawer, you can make a backup of the whole system, including FW specific files etc, make this backup, save the data either on external sd or pc, and when u need it, restore using CWM recovery mode (for example when u want to go back from the custom rom to stock and dont feel like flashing - rooting - deodexing
these 2 backups save you a lot of trouble
ah ok, thanks for your help, I just do the bakcup from the recovery mode, it hize kph in the home version, clean, applications do not care much, I'm looking for some kind of custom rom pretty, I like the revoluion the keyboard rc5 gingerbread and val-notification and timing is very important, but vv bluetooth does not work, now cranium use 3.0, but the calendar has a circle in the current week horirible! help

[Q] CWM Nandroid restore AFTER factory reset. UPDATE!!!

I looked, but could not find an answer to this specific question.
Forgive me if it's been discussed before.
Here's the order in which i performed new ZEUS (build 6) install.
1) Titanium backup user apps.
2) manual backup of media.
3) Odin back to stock froyo.
4) Factory Reset.
5) super one click root
6) modded recovery install using cwm from market
7) re-install packages x2
8) install Zeus
9) Titanium re-install user apps.
10) ICS for v6 theme installed
Question: Can i move an OLD nandroid backup into the "_/clockworkmod/backup" folder and restore as if it i had not factory reset and re rooted?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my computer.
oops, more explaining

RE-EDIT!!
Sorry if all that was unclear.. it was drunk thirty when i sent that.
i went back to stock, then did a factory reset from within froyo:
Settings -> privacy -> Factory data reset.
i copied the nandroid backup to the comp before this, then copied it back to same folder once i rooted and installed zeus and made initial new nandroid backup.
My question is can I restore from a backup that the phone erased and i put back after re-installing CWM.

cwm backup file can be restored in cwm. I don't know if it can be restored by any other means.
You dont have to be rooted. You just need to have a working cwm...I have only worked with Red CWM.
If you are looking to restore a nandroid, I recm booting into cwm. wipe clean: factory reset, wipe cache, advance -wipe dalvik. mount: format system, data and cache. Then restore your nandroid.
That's cool. I'm gonna try it, cause I can throw it under a bus for a new one if it bricks.
My question was backtowherw I started...with a a new file structure... can I restore from an old backupfrom a different file structure.
I was and am rooted fro both backups.
I did and now have red cwm.
I do and will take notes.

My question is can I restore from a backup that the phone erased and i put back after re-installing CWM.
this is not a normal nandroid / cwm restore.
If you're reading this : Please... let me know if this has been discussed and link me ...
or tell me what it you don't understand about my question or how it differs from the MANY cwm restores I've Don from nandroid backup.
I guess no one knows ; That's cool.
The problem is that I forgot to backup all my apps. That's the only reason I wanted restore to a nandroid backup that was deleted by froyo factory data reset.
Now I backup using titanium but apparently lost or deleted the tiba folder after I copied it to the hdd.
At any rate, I only care that I get all apps with data back.
So... is there another way?
Apk extract from nandroid using comp or android?
Sent from my perfectly working phone which I choose not to **** up by restoring from a backup I didn't really want anyway.
Not sure if this helps. But I always copy my nandroid back ups to my computer and my sdcard. That way if I ever need to restore, I can just copy the nandroid back up to the clockwork/backup folder.
Just reread, there are a couple of apps that will let you extract apps from a nandroid backup. I for get which ones though.

Thanks for this thread. I've been trying to find a clear answer to my question and this is about as close as I've been able to find. So, just to verify (I am a noob, after all):
In order to install a rooted ROM when you have already installed an unrooted 2.3.6 (in my case, the UCLB3 leak), you need to do a nandroid backup, then go back to Froyo stock, root the Infuse, install CWM, then follow the instructions on the box?
In my case, I'm interested in Dman's rooted etc. UCLB3. His instructions start with "Boot into CWM" and I suppose this is the only way to do so!
This is what you are saying you did more or less, right?

After flash to stock uclb3 then use the heimdall package in the second post to flash Entropy's kernal... which will give you cwm recovery.

[Q] Updato CM10.1 R0.2 to CM10.1 R4

Hi, to update CM10.1 R0.2 to CM10.1 R4 it's raccomended to download rom, make full wype and install or i have the possibility to update without full wipe...like a easy way similar OTA?
Thanks guys!!!( sorry for my no perfect english)
if you don't want to wipe everything. make a nandroid backup. wipe cache and dalvik then install update. if something goes wrong you can always go back to your backup and then do another clean install

ok....thanks! i was thinking that, if i use ALL2SD to move all apps into SD and then i install new version with full wipe.
I think is the best way to do all quickly, in this way (i think) i will not have to expend much time after install new rom version.
You think it's a good way to operate?

No, they would still have to be reinstalled, use titanium backup to backup your apps, it will reinstall then onto your new Rom easily, only restore user apps though system apps will cause problems

You can make An update zip with All your apps, it's actually easier to make an update zip with just titanium in it and then batch restore your apps and data afterwards

Backup & restore

Hi,
I made a backup by TWRP.
But the problem is that I don't know what to do with this backup.
1: For full backup, I leave to the nexus or I spend it on a PC? If my nexus has problem to boot, what I do with my backup ? How use it (txrp, fastboot....) ?
2: For a backup of data (so if I understand it, the app), I leave on nexus or I put on pc? and after I use it when and how?
For ex, when I switched to M, at the beginning (after boot), the nexus has installed all the app from my google account, but it's very long, so I would like tu stop it and use ma data backup, but i don't know how to do...
Thank you.

1. Both. Keep a backup on your PC and another one on your device. Hold Power + Vol Down to reboot into the bootloader then select Recovery. Once into TWRP use the Restore option to restore your nandroid.
2. Both. Same answer. If you are using Titanium Backup then use the restore option.
During the setup wizard do not check the "restore my data from Google servers" then check in Settings > Backup.
Thanks.
And if I want to use the backup of the PC, how do I do ?
Because the backup (nandroid) is very big, and it's a problem to keep it on the nexus.....

adb push and adb pull
You can also use the MTP feature though TWRP which allows you to drag and drop your files.
ok, thanks

take nandroid backup from your recovery for that first root your device then install any recovery than take full system backup it will backup all your system data and in future you can also restore it

You're going to have to be rooted to do a full backup. You need to look into that first.
Once you've done that, you can then install a backup app from the store such as nandroid backup.
If you install a custom recovery like twrp, you can also do a full backup.
