I shattered my screen and have a replacement phone on the way. Can I do a nandroid backup on my current device and restore it on my new one?

Provided they are the exact same model phone, yes you can just transfer the nandroid backup file from your old phone to your new phone once you get it. For the time being you can just transfer the nandroid backup to your computer and store it there until your new phone comes then just transfer it to your new phone, boot into CWM restore the backup and you should be all set .
If it's a previous ROM you backed up on your gs3, then yes you can. Make sure you root, unlock bootloader, flash recovery once replacement comes of course
Samsung Galaxy S3
I just did this over the weekend. I was able to restore a nandroid to my warranty replacement with no problem at all. I expected there to be some issues with some apps giving me a hard time, but everything worked great. The only things I lost were on the internal sdcard (my phone was hard bricked, so I couldn't back that up).
Like was already said, I had to root the new phone, unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery before I could restore the nandroid.
If using TWRP after root make a backup to establish a new backup folder with corresponding serial number to match new phone. Open old backup folder and serial # folder to get to actual backup files. Transfer these files to to new serial# folder.

This worked great, here's what I did.
1. Made a quick backup to generate the proper folder structure and the correct directory name needed for my new phone.
2. Copied the folder that contained the backup I intended to use from my old Hercules S2 to my replacement Hercules S2's TWRP backup directory.
3.Copied the name of the folder of the backup I made in step 1 to the clipboard.
4. deleted the folder I created in step 1.
5. renamed the folder I imported by pasting the name from the clipboard.
6. restored the backup.
Done.
Sweet.
Thanks.
nandroid backups are awesome
Hello,
Can you please help me here. i have a system which got screwed while playing and I am on a screen with no os installed. I just got a nandroid backp file from one of the friendly users on the forums. However on going into TWRP recovery, it does not recognize the backup. it is the same model and service provider as mine.

Because the folder containing the backup is named with the serial number of the old phone. The fasters way to set things up is to make a nandroid backup of the new phone, then move the old backup to the new folder and it will be recognized. Just as a user said previously in this thread.
P.S. Sorry for being so late.

Hey guys,
Here are silly but important questions:
1. Can I use the nandroid backup from PhilZ touch recovery and restore it with TWRP?
2. To which folder do I have to put the nandroid backup file?

I doubt that it will work. I have seen several reports that restoring a CWM recovery using TWRP doesn't work, and since Philz is based on CWM I am making the presumption that it will likewise fail. ( I seem to recall that nandroids from older TWRP versions won't reload from newer versions; along the lines of a 2.4.x.x TWRP nandroid using 2.8.x.x TWRP. )

It's clear now. You cannot recover a PhilZ touch recovery from TWRP. :/

I have made an nandroid backup from LG G4 H815 with Android 5.1
Now i've got a new LG G4 H815 with Android 20g
Questions:
1. If i restore backup with Lollipop, to phone with Marshmallow - will 20G be overwritten and i will end with Lollipop on new G4?
2. what will happen with IMEI; will it be changed?
Or should i use only some of partions from the old G4?
Should the TWRP installed on new G4 be the same version as on old G4 (2.8.07)? Or i can install the latest 3.02 on the new one
I have following partitions:
boot, system, system image, Data, Cache, Recovery, EFS

You're in the wrong forum, post your question in the G4 forum, this is Verizon S3.

This is great news!!!
I've been having constant issues with my SIM card connection lately, even though I've replaced the tray. So it must be a MotherBoard issue.
Already got my Nandroid backup sorted which I update every now and again, so now I just have to search for how to root it again, since it was years ago when I last did.

Hi guys,
I have started this life saver thread (lol) for those who are getting md5 mismatch error while restoring backups in cwm..:screwy:
Dont delete the precious backups which show error in restoring due to md5 midmatch..
There are lot of methods to fix this but they all require terminal,adb n such things.. but I bet My method is d easiest..
Let's start,
Things required..
Nothing!!! Except a good file explorer which has a option to create new file.. I prefer root explorer but it costs to buy..
Cautionon't rename any folders in the backup Coz it makes ur backup useless..
1.Now open your file explorer & navigate to your clockworkmod/backup/(choose the backup which u want to restore)/ folder on your sd card and u will see a file called nandroid.md5 which contains all d info about the rom on which d backup was made..
2.Back up & then Delete the nandroid.md5 file and in options create a new file & name it as nandroid.md5 exactly as it was before (DON'T USE CAPS WHILE NAMING)..
3.Make sure u don't touch anything else & exit your file explorer..
4.Enter into cwm recovery and restore the backup which u modified.. Yuppy!! Restore successful..
OTHER CASES FOR RESTORING FAILURE
1.A bad or damaged backup
2.Problem with kernels related to mounting & unmounting /system,/data,/cache
3.Some have reported error in restoring bcoz of some folder created in system by root all data 2 sd app..
4.Renamed backups
If this method dint work for u then pls search & try other complicated methods..
Pls report after using this method and press thanks if this helped you..

What if the recovery installed before ROM flashing was not from TWRP but from CWM 6.0 version? And what if the backup was faulty with error message " failed to mount data" but the person continued the ROM flashing with a hope that everything will be fine, but it wasn't the Cyanogen 10.2 nightly was too faulty for the Samsung Galaxy i9001. Now I'm stuck with the blue Cyanogen rotating logo, unable to reboot and unable to go back to my default system, MD5 mismatch error. Can I do the steps mentioned through a PC, by accessing the folders and files inside the device by USB?

That happens in some cases, means your backup didnt finished (probably you didnt had enought space for it)
Just create an new file nandroid.md5, and try to restore it You have nothing to loose

The novadroid it won't work with your phone, you will brick it, because i already did that.
I cant find the original rom too but I created a custom rom for this model phone, maybe works with yours too, http://www.putlocker.com/file/77AA68DDE353127C
I got a backup from mine before I briked, but the system.img part it was corrupted, so i extracted from other rom with same hardware but just the system.img, I edited the hardware part and its works, i deleted some apks that it wasnt necesaries, and changed the lanuncher for holo launcher because the launcher of the other rom it was very bad
IMPORTANT!!
before you do anything, go to system folder, copy all the folders and the build.prop file to SDCARD, except "bin" and "etc folders, because it dont let you copy some files from "etc" and "bin" folders, but the others folders it will let you, if you do that I will be able to create a rom factory because i have all the factory files except some files from the system folder because mine was corrupted. Please upload that folders in a zip file and I will create a factory rom.
Hello,
I am stuck with one of these samsung i9500 sc6820 phones...
I was stupid enough to click on delete app using titanium backup and I am stuck now on reboot... I know I should have clicked on freeze however I made a mistake...
Now phone is in reboot loop and it shows
Unknown volume for path system; app/xxxxxxx (name of application I deleted)
and in the second line:
reboot into recovery...
How can I recover this phone... I can not connect it to anything in order to flash it since it just keeps rebooting... I found couple of pac and image files but I do not know hot to proceed... phone just turns off and there is not enough time to connect via adb or any other app....
I spent so many days until I rooted this phone and with one click I messed it up...
I have apk file I deleted but how to transfer it to the phone?
this phone does not have fastboot or recovery... and even the menu with some factory testing with vol - and power button is not accessible now...
Any suggestions how to proceed? Maybe some flash from sd card if possible... ?
update:
i found the way to flash pac files however i do not have appropriate one to use...
this is as far as i know sc6820 sc8110 phone with 256mb rom and 256mb ram...
on the sticker is says i9500 samsung and it was loaded with 4.2.2 android...
if anyone has any links or pac files for me to try please let me know since I already tried with 4-5 images and always end up with white screen...
Also if I find the same phone how can I make an image to copy it to this phone?
What is the easiest way to do it?

Pure Stock 1.55.605.2 TWRP Nandroid Backup ((( TWRP Recovery Only )))
This can be used to either update to the newest firmware or to use in the future to return to stock for other OTA's.
Have tested it severals times and had no problems.
FROM YOUR PHONE:
Download Root Explorer
Download the Pure Stock 1.55.605.2.zip ((( IM me if the links go down, I will add new ones.)))
Unzip the Pure Stock 1.55.605.2.zip
Double click on the HT43ASF08359 folder
MOVE (Not Copy) The 2014-04-20--10-11-12 KOT49H release-keys folder and place in in the TWRP folder / Backup folder / Phone Marker folder. ((( Mine is HT43ASF08359, yours might be different. )))
Reboot into recovery and restore
Thats It!
If any problems please leave them in the comments below.
THANKS,
UPDATE:
If you haven't done a backup before with TWRP then there won't be a folder for you to put this file in. Do a backup of your current Rom and then follow the steps above. This will give you the folders you need.
Phone Marker Folder: is a folder that the TWRP Recovery generates to store the backup in and is different with each phone.
This is what the folder should look like on the sdcard,
TWRP ----> Backup ----> Phone Marker folder ( Mine is HT43ASF08359, your might be different) Then the file you downloaded from me ----> 2014-04-20--10-11-12 KOT49H release-keys
If you just put the 2014-04-20--10-11-12 KOT49H release-keys file in the backup folder and not the Phone Marker folder then it won't show up when you go to restore the backup.
UPDATE: again
LINKS are live again!!!!!

THANKS,
UPDATE:
If you haven't done a backup before with TWRP then there won't be a folder for you to put this file in. Do a backup of your current Rom and then follow the steps above. This will give you the folders you need.
Phone Marker Folder: is a folder that the TWRP Recovery generates to store the backup in and is different with each phone.
This is what the folder should look like on the sdcard,
TWRP ----> Backup ----> Phone Marker folder ( Mine is HT43ASF08359, your might be different) Then the file you downloaded from me ----> 2014-04-20--10-11-12 KOT49H release-keys
If you just put the 2014-04-20--10-11-12 KOT49H release-keys file in the backup folder and not the Phone Marker folder then it won't show up when you go to restore the backup.
UPDATE: again

Have you tried a hard reboot? You updated firmware prior to doing this correct?

Anyone using this backup has to remember to change the phone marker folder to the serial number of their own phone or TWRP won't recognize it. When you press restore it'll be completely blank. Once you make the phone marker folder your own phone's serial number, it'll work like a charm with no issues.

Make sure you do a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik and do the restore again. Should boot fine after that.
This is nice to have. I made a Nandroid of my stock setup but I had already removed a ton of bloatware so it wasn't really a STOCK nandroid. I'm downloading this just so I have it.
But, could you post an MD5 sum of the zipped file that way I know I got a good download? It failed several times before downloading completely and I wanna be sure it's legit.
Thanks
Nobody yell at me . what exactly is this post for ? Is this for stock android ? Like aosp ?

Nobody is gonna yell at you... Lol.
This is a Nandroid backup of the full stock rom that comes on the Verizon M8 out of the box. No modifications made to it at all. It is the exact software you would get on your M8 if you just bought it at the store (minus stock recovery and radios of course) If you don't know what a Nandroid backup is, it's a backup of the software on your device using a custom recovery like TWRP. Say you flashed a custom rom and were having problems with it but didn't have your own backup of the stock software. You could download this and use TWRP to restore it and you would be back to stock again. AOSP is something else. AOSP is Android without Manufacturer skins like Sense (HTC devices), or Touchwiz (Samsung devices), the only devices that come with AOSP installed on them are Nexus devices. Everything else is Android that's slightly modified. Hope this explains it.

I think I know what you mean? I already use twrp so when I download this just go to my external sd card (where I keep my backups), open twrp, open folder with HTC and I guess my serial number, then inside this folder is where I place this backup correct? Thanks.

Thanks for helping everyone out. I tried to make the instructions as detailed as possible.
Again if the link goes down let me know so I can add a new one.
Making a Pure Stock Rom as we speak. Keeping it close to Stock as possible but with all of the unneeded Files removed (Verizon/Amazon/Keyboard Language/ect..... Adding a small amount of tweaks/files to the system and thats it. I not sure if anyone has use Scotts Roms in the past (CleanRom) But it is going to be like that for each update to come. Should have it up in the next couple of days.

For some reason if I don't change the serial number my TWRP doesn't see it in restore. Had the same problem a few times yesterday.

So you download the zip. Open zip it an go find the folder with build keys in the name. You extract that to downloads folder then place the file you just extracted in your normal twrp file path. You still have to rename? If you do it correct there is nothing to rename to match your phone. Not saying your wrong. I just never have had to rename anything when restoring someone backup.

So is there away to use this as an upgrade to the new firmware without destroying all the apps and settings?
Thanks
