With clockwork on HTC Incredible and Thunderbolt I can do a backup, try some other rom, then wipe/restore my clockwrk backup, and be back where I was before I started playing...
The last time I tried that on Xoom [using... ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0 (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150)] backup said it was done.. but when trying to revert to backup after trying another rom... my data, apps, etc... weren't there (i.e. I was more "stock" or like I did a factory data reset)
Is it possible to backup/restore Xoom like that? If so, how? what do I need?

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
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).
I flash roms like crazy. Never had a problem up until lately. No matter what rom I use the restore from titanium does not stick. If I update any apps from the market the updates do not stick. Any reason for this?
Quick update#1. Flashed completely back to stock and then rerooted. Still same result. any suggestions are appreciated.
Flash back to stock full wipe/ factory reset from there. wipe cache. re flash clockwork mod and restore... done.

1. IMHO, you should extract necessary settings or data and restore to your new rom. You can use AppExtractor
2. No need to delete everything before restoring
3. Your choice. There is touch version out there. Try and love it

Thanks for your reply i really appreciate it.
i was saying that if i wana go back to my stock rom (original rom) wich is not rooted can i restore it using CW?
if i flash back to my stock nandroid backup using CW my phone will not be rooted and it will restore the default samsung rom?
its just my theory though i haven't tried it yet i`m asking question like this for my future reference
Well...
Yes your device wont be rooted and will return to the stock rom.
Since the nandroid backup copies the whole partition. just like Norton Ghost does on the pc, so your phone will just go back to its exact status it was at that time.
You wont need to wipe user data/factory reset, because of the data partition being restored by CW.
Well you are asking for a recovery. How did you make a nan backup if you have no recovery?
Or you used the stock one? if you used the stock one, aren't you able to use it to restore?
Or do you want a new more powerful recovery?
As in the previous post they mentioned, use the one you like, with the most options

Howdy yall.
I just rooted my HTC Evo 4G LTE, TB backup all my apps, lazypanda s-off, flashed TWRP recovery, backed up my stock set, then flashed MeanMike's 1.4 Rom. And I just finished getting it all how I like it. No problems there, definitely not my first rodeo.
I had a brainfart with all I needed to do, and forgot to back up my SMS/MMS and call log from TB while I was still on stock. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to go inside my TWRP backup file, pull the SMS/MMS and Call-Log files, that way I can throw them in my current setup, instead of having to backup this new setup, wiping and restoring to my stock setup, then backing up the files I need using TB, then wiping and flashing back to my Mean 1.4 rom...
Any thoughts?
