Hey just out of curiosity if you access advanced backup in cwm recovery and backup boot it means you're backing up the kernel right?

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?

alright, so I have tried to restore full backups and advanced restoring /data through CWM both through bhundven's kernel and drhonk's kernel and for some reason i've gotten the md5 mismatch error everytime...i have no idea what is causing it, anyone have any ideas?
I believe, not 100% sure, that only on bhunds kernel can you successfully do backups n restore through cwm so that might be why it isn't working with Dr.honks kernel

I'd be weary with the backup/restore function though. I wasn't able to do it on CWM 5.x.x.x. It sent my phone into a ridiculous bootloop, with no recovery, period. Had to reflash everything through odin. I've done backups before, so I know I didn't do anything wrong.

Bhundven's kernel is a cwm5 and it won't restore any backups made with drhonk's cwm3 kernel. He stated that in his OP somewhere. So any backups you make with cwm5, you can to a full image restore through cwm5. Hope this answers your question.

Right, the only limitation I know of with backup/restore on my new kernel is you have to backup with >= 5.0.2.7 and restore with >= 5.0.2.7. I'm still looking through bootable recovery changes to figure out what exactly changed so maybe we could make a version that supports both. But I'm not sure what the limitations of that would be.
You cannot restore a backup made with 3.0.2.8x.
If there is anything different you see, please report it.
Can I do a system recovery on my device to restore back to factory state if I (1) Rooted the device and (2) deleted some system apps without backup
No. Not really. What you delete? You just rooted? You got clockworkmod? There are fixes.

If u reflash the rom, the deleted apps will be back
I have a problem restoring backup of my stock rom made with cwm.Restore does not report any errors, but when I reboot my tablet I got bootloop.
Any ideas?I am on CM 9, Cwm 6.0.1.0.

Hi people. So before I try to flash a rom I would make a backup of my rom which is Embryo 6.1. I would probably go back to embryo after flashing a new rom like jellybam and when I try to restore it, it gives me an error when restoring the system. It would say error when restoring /system. I would have to restore a backup from an older clockwork mod and reflash embryo. I have tried reflashing clockwork mod but that didn't work. I also tried toggling /preload in misc nandroid settings but it still didn't work. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance

You shouldn't be using outdated recoveries and if it is a recovery issue your should reflash the recovery...

I'm using the latest Clockwork Mod and I did reflash the latest one.
Ask inside the recovery thread ...
could be a bad backup. I've had it happen before with TWRP.
I've tried to backup multiple times. When I restore the backup, it gives me the same error

Make sure the recovery isn't looking for a md5 if you didn't create one in the back up.
