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.

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?

hi there guys,
I have some questions about how to make a total back-up of your rom, so you don't have to setup your apps and stuff like that, when you wanna try something new. Setting everything up when I wanna go back,is holding me back.
hope this is not a total repost, if it is just show me the old thread, cause I couldn't find it.
Errr... A classical Nandroid (whole Rom with Kernel, Apps and Settings) and/or Titanium Backup (Apps and Settings - possible to transfer data between different roms) should offer everything you need
...via Tapatalk
when I bake a backup with clockwork, I still need to set everything up, and install my apps again. What am I doing wrong?

I always backup and restore from recovery menu of clockwork, this means when restoring everything is put back as it was.
Not sure why this isn't working for you
Sent from my HTC Desire S
I downloaded (and paid for) the newest version of clockwork manager from the marked. How do you do it, just from the app or do you boot in recovery? When you say full recovery does that include everything, so you don't have to setup anything?
Yes mate, boot into recovery, select "backup and restore", then backup - this will save a full copy of your system as it stands. When you backup from the recovery menu it will put everything back exactly as it was when you backed it up - ie all apps & data already setup
Sent from my HTC Desire S
and before I recover I need to do a complete wipe, right. System, catch and factory?
No.. you dont need to wipe before restrore.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
ok, tnen I'm gonna try again. Don't see why its not working for me. There's not a secieal setup I need to do? I haven't done anything else than installing the app ;-)
Confusion?
I believe that there is a couple of differing questions are being asked and answered here.
A Nandroind backup or full device backup (excluding RADIO) will enable you to restore your device back to the exact state that it was in when taken. All the phone partitions SYSTEM/DATA/BOOT/CACHE/etc are all backed up. Therefore restoring one of these backups will ensure that the ROM, kernel and data will be restored together and the phone will be operational.
A Titanium Backup backs up applications and setup data that enables you to easily restore your installed applications and configuration. After a factory reset or a re-install of the same ROM.
It can often be problematic to use a titanium backup after changing the version of the ROM you used or when moving from one ROM to a completely different one. In fact quite often ROM cooks recommend that you don't use a Titanium backup restore in the setup of their ROM.
That being said I still take both types of backups on my device. As titanium backups are useful for restoring individual applications to a previous state if they encounter a problem or corruption.
I believe that the Nandroid backup is the most useful recovery tool we have available to us and always take one, before flashing any new ROM or ZIP file, better to be safe than sorry.
Although I'd also recommend that all personal data ie calendar & contacts should be backed up by sync'ing to the cloud and never just kept locally on the device.
Hello, it's me again with new set of questions
My device is GT-I9001
1) What is Nandroid backup? Is it complete system image backup like Acronis True Image, created with CWM, because i have CWM installed?
2) I am planning to install CM9 on my device, is it possible to restore my apps completely with settings, and games completely with passed levels with Titanium (I've got Pro version). I need to know if any problem could arise when restoring? I also read not to restore system apps, my question is why?
3) Am I installing CM9 via odin or via cwm? I saw two files gapps and cm9, which is firstly installed?
4) How to wipe before installing custom ROM?
5) Could you find me Stock ROM for my phone, I've got no luck finding it? Here is PDA and CSC

1. yes, it is complete system image backup (can be created using CWM)
2. yes, you can restore apps including their settings via titanium backup.
3. please read the installation guide for your device.
4. wiping can be done via CWM
5. find it on your device sub-forum.
1) Ok, I understand...
2) There is still more questions I asked...
3) I cannot ask there until 10 posts, and it's a bit unclear/confusing to me...
4) I know that, what I need to wipe. I figured it's system, cache and dalvik...
Is it needed to go into mounts and storage and to format system, data and cache...
Is sdcard and emmc needed to be wiped?
5) I already said I cannot find it...
Anyone knows the answers?

2) if you just restore User-Apps you can not do anything wrong. Only if you restore Systemapps that are not for your new system.
If this happens you can easily restore your nandroid and start over again
3) Odin is more or less only for Stock Roms. CM is flashed through CWM
4) nope! If you do the Wipe, system, data etc. will be formated
5) you can easily find stock roms for almost every samsung device on sammobile.com
Thanks for clarifying
I searched every possible site, but still can't find my stock firmware
Ok so I had a problem recently and found a solution which might help. I googled, looked in this and a bunch of other android forums and didn't find the solution I had, so maybe my way is not the best way to do it - but it solved my problem maybe it might help you.
When I flash a new rom with a different framework to the rom I'm currently on I take care to make a full TWRP back-up of my current system move that across to my PC, then proceed to wipe everything on my phone, data, system, factory reset and numerous cache and dalvik wipes. (I use the Awesome scripts superwipe and kernel cleaners which do the trick really well).
Anyway recently I installed a rom which really didn't work for me, so i wanted to get back to where I was before I installed it. I booted into TWRP cleaned the data, system factory reset wiped the caches. I mount my PC move my nandroid across to my SDcard and go to restore. But of course TWRP looks in the restore folder for the backup and I have wiped this so the file structure does not exist.
So after telling myself what an idiot I was for not remembering what the file system was, here's what I did:
1 - Stopped panicking!
2 - Ran the back-up utility in TWRP - this recreates the file structure for the back-ups and places a back-up of your empty system in the folder
3 - Move the original full back-up I placed in the empty SDcard into the file system next to the empty back-up I'd just created
4 - Go to restore and the full back-up is there. Swiped to restore it and my One S is back to it's old self
Lessons learnt: Don't panic - there is an answer. Just think about it.
Good luck!
Or you could just copy the whole twrp folder to your hdd. thats what I do anyway and restore without a problem.
Yep that would have prevented me ending up in that predicament for sure.
So would not flashing roms. The point of the post is really about what to do if you find yourself in that situation and the value of keeping a cool head and thinking through a solution rationally, using your own resources.
The way I see it is: it's my mess I got into it, how am I going to solve it....

1. wrong forum, if you have a one x device
2. calm down
3. relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
4. download and run latest ruu for your phone (search for a suitable one for your cid and carrier if you are branded)
5. you also can flash a custom sense based rom, which gives you sense back (viper one s or trickdroid or android revolution hd)
6. if you want to flash one of these,dont forget to flash the boot.img too
7. before flashing a rom, wipe system, data and cache 3xtimes to be sure you do a clean install
Thanks Man

I'd just like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for this post! I had a major issue and thought I'd lost my 1-day old HTC One (M7). I wasn't so much panicking as I knew i'd find a way, but a cold sweat had started to break!
The biggest lesson I can take from this is simply this... MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL ROM BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING! It's such an obvious thing, but without this simple step, I'd be in trouble right now as HTC haven't an RUU for my specific device yet (plus I'm on a Mac, making running .exe files more painful still)
What had happened was that as a result of a corporate email policy, I had to encrypt my device. I did this after flashing to a new ROM. Unfortunately after I had done so, the new ROM wasn't playing nicely with Exchange (using native HTC Mail app). Of course the issue here is that when you so into TWRP, you can't see the files to restore (because TWRP is opened before the device asks you for the passcode to decrypt... another learning!). To remove the encryption, I had no choice but to do a full format of the device, so I was basically left with a brick
Anyway, once again, thank you for this post, you just saved me AU$700!
Ok so, in not so many words, ur saying " to restore a nanBU":
1. Wipe: data factory reset/cache/ delvic
Wipe system (but not sure which one(s) cause I was used to cwm and it looks diff in twrp
2. Flash the Rom that the nanbu is based from
3. Flash the nanbu
4 reboot
It's this the correct way to restore a nanbu from a diff or upgraded rom?
So I had to do a complete restore of my default Samsung Note 2 Sprint L900 firmware after an unsuccessful Rom flash of Goodness Noteworthy 1.8.1 (numerous flashes and it wouldn't boot up past opening war video, just went to black screen and hung endlessly)
-OK so I then got back to root and installed TWRP 2.6 and I had already had several backup ROMS I saved to my computer. So I placed Goodness Noteworthy 1.7 in my backup folder in TWRP on my sdcard. I then reboot into TWRP recovery and go to restore and I can't see anything there. I have the sdcard mounted and checked and after clicking the restore button I'm not seeing anything. ? When I click install it see's everything on my sdcard ? I don't get it. What am I doing wrong.

Solved.. Copied my backup stock ROM from the TWRP folder on the phone and placed it on the SDcard, then I placed my Goodness Noteworthy 1.7 backup rom I had that I had on my computer and copied and placed that on the SDcard in the TWRP folder next to the Stock Rom backup I made. Booted back into recovery and clicked RESTORE and I was able to see both the backup rom and the Goodness Noteworthy ROM. I then wiped and did a restore and I'm back in business.

Hei guys,
Please help!!!! I tried to install MaximusHD 10.0.0 | JB 4.2.2 | Sense 5.0 on my HTC One s,i got storage issue. Now my sd card is just 48MB. I have installed TWRP v2.6.3.0 and i did backup before flashing room. I decided to do factory restore by TWRP and wiped OS from MY device.Now when i do backup i get failed error: not enough free space on storage. Total size of all data 203MB, available space 48 MB.I see my sd card on pc through TWRP, but i cannot make backup and even put any new rom into my sd card to flash it because of 48MB...Is it any chance to get back any OS on my HTC One s....?

EDIT: oops, somehow thought this was a recent post. Never mind
Not really.
If you are S-off,
Restore Backup,
Wipe Caches
S-On
Restore Backup
Wipe Caches
(if the rom you were previously on had a different Boot.img you will need to fastboot your boot.img) In the backup
Assumes you are not trying to restore a backup to 2.15 if you were just on 2.16. You will need to RUU + factory reset/clear storage for that.
I'm sry not sure what "RUU" means... Probably will remember once u tell me I'm sure. But Ya I kinda just winged it, didn't flash the Rom to do the NanBU and all went fine, which is odd cause on my S2 w cwm it out me in a boot loop and had to start over, but I think TWRP may be a diff setup when restoring nanbu's. But either way it's always nice to know and find a "step by step" guide to restoring NanBU's from previous / updated / or different ROMs. For noobs that was one of the confusing things to do due to lack of that info in threads or utube vids out there.
Got a question. I've made my backup files but restore shows nothing but storage... No files to chose, no more options to restore. Is it normal?

Hello guys, this is going to be a long post andam very sorry about that. So, I got a Samsung galaxy note2 and I want to install the latest firmware which is version 4.3. Also, I'll like to try some android 4.4 custom rom. Am currently using version 4.1.2. Seriously, i've searched many threads without a satisfactory answer before restorting to start one. Before going on this adventure I'll like to do a complete backup of my original rom so i can go back to it anytime. I've decided to use nandroid for the full image backup (clockworkmod) and titanium for subsequent application and applications data backup. I know what these two apps do but I still have some questions.
1) What's is the safest way to root and unroot my device?
2) what files/apps do I need to do a nandroid and titanium backup and where do I get them?
3) can I keep this backups on my external sdcard, will I be able to access it from external sdcard on recovery mode incase my phone crashes?
4) someone said even after using the nandroid backup, I'll still have to Flash the kernel, what does this mean and how do I do that?
5) I plan using clockworkmod cos it sounds like a good idea. How do I get and use it.
Now I made a mess of myself asking all these questions. I'll still post it nonetheless cos I really need help with these questions or I wouldn't have asked. Thanks in advance guys. Once again, sorry for the long post.
1) any way that has been tested by the device users or devs, instructions should be followed clearly..
2) CWM needed for nandroid backup & Titanium Backup app is needed for data backups.
CWM would be available in dedicated threads for your device.
Titanium Backup app would be available in playstore
3) You can. :thumbup:
4) There are 2 ways AFAIK,
i. adb method to place the kernel inside the device
ii. Zip file flashing through CWM
5) Same answer as for Q2
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free
Parkourkarthik, thanks so much for your quick response. Sorry to bother you further. About kernel flashing, is it that I'll have to flash the kernel every time I restore from my nandroid backup? I guess I'll have to download the kernel for my device before hand, so where do l keep It so CWM could use it.

for cwm check your device forum and you b=can take nandroid backup and if anything goes wrong you can backup with that
and for your question what all nandroid backup include here is the answer
nandroid backup includes
system partition
cache partition
data partition
boot partition
boot partition means kernel is included in boot partition only so kernel is also backed up in nandroid backup

if you restore nandroid backup you will automatically get stock kernel because nandroid backup includes boot partition where kernel is found
no need to flash kernel everytime
and you can keep kernel anywhere but if you simply download kernel image file or md5 file you an install it only with universal kernel flasher or adb you cant install that file directly in cwm
it must be a flashable zip to install in cwm to install it
Hey there,
I want to wipe my phone because of several problems that occur and I believe that they can be solved by resetting my phone with the following procedure:
Wipe my phone with Twrp completely, then flash latest oxygen os, then magisk.
But: is there a way I can reinstall all my apps in the status as they are now?
Should I backup data now and flash this part after the said flashing of Rom and magisk?
Thank you all!
Do the nandroid backup which will bring your phone back to its state after installation. Or backup data and apk files of your apps and then restore it.
