Hi there guys, today i shall show you how to make a flashable zip from your cwm backup!
REQUIREMENTS:
Windows OS
The Nandroid Backup
A tool(not mine, attatched below)
Brain
Now, copy all files from your backup to the folder where you extracted the tool.
Now it should look somewhat like this:
Code:
.android_secure.vfat.tar.
nandroid.md5
boot.img
cache.yaffs2.img
data.yaffs2.img
recovery.img
system.img
bkp2zip.bat
unyaffs.exe
cygwin1.dll
Run the "bkp2zip.bat".
Now there should be 3 files:System,Data and boot.img
now zip those three files.........And you should have a flashable update.zip!

Delete app data then backup.
In manage applications in the settings, i think there is a clear data option.

uuuhhh I kinda don't get the point of this, I mean whats wrong with the default way of restoring a cwm or TWRM backup??
Meh, using UNIX tools, but not providing a solution, shame on you
(Warning: not actually tested, since I'm not really interested, just a 1:1 translation from .bat to sh)
Code:
#!/bin/sh
for i in system data
do
mkdir "{$i}"
mv "{$i}.yaffs2.img" "{$i}/"
cd "{$i}"
unyaffs "{$i}.yaffs2.img"
cd ../
done
rm .android_secure.vfat.tar nandroid.md5 recovery.img
zip -0 -r update.zip *

You can create flashable zip that will include ROM and app, then give that to you friend.
You can use it when you formating sdcard, after that you flash it back and you have all.
It's nice and more elegant way, for me, but if someone don't like it - it's simple - don't use it.

I have a g2x. My phone is currently on Miui . But I tried switching back to stock rooted froyo. My phone is rooted, and is on Miui. I dislike this rom , and wanted to switch back.
Problem: I wipe data and cache everything .go to install zip, choose the stock froyo zip I found in xda. I click it and it says installation aborted. It's been very very frustrating. Since I leave to Europe in 2 days I can't stand to have Miui for 2 weeks. What can i do. Thanks
Try restoring your backup.
Might be a bad download. Redownload the file and make sure its a full file size 1xx MB rom.

Don't know it's possible currently but you can always restore the cwm backup using cwm, then flash twrp, and do a backup with twrp. Now it's converted. Quite a hassle but this is one way I know how.

Found this http://www.droidviews.com/create-flashable-zip-cwmtwrp-backup/
It says:
Code:
Create Flashable Zip from CWM/TWRP Backup
The method for creating flashable Zip from CWM and TWRP backups are different as both the recoveries use different techniques to backup the device.
For CWM Backup
Transfer the CWM backup from Phone to PC.
Extract system.ext4.tar file with any of the archive apps like Winrar or 7zip, you will get the system folder of your device containing all the files.
Gather the boot.img from the CWM backup.
Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom ROM which is made for your device. Make sure you get the correct Meta-Inf folder, else the Zip won’t work and might worsen the condition of your device.
Select the META-INF, System folders and the boot.img and right click your mouse and select add to Archive.
In the Archive settings, choose the extension of the compressed file as Zip (Make sure of this part)
That’s it, your flashable Zip is now ready and you can flash it using any custom recovery.
For TWRP Backup
Transfer the TWRP backup from Phone to PC.
You’ll see a file named system.ext4.win which is the System partition backup of your device. Rename it to system.ext4.tar (Changing its extension from .win to .tar)
Extract the system.ext4.tar using an archive software like Winrar or 7zip.
If your TWRP backup is not in compression mode, you will directly get the system folder, else you will get a file named system.ext4, which should be renamed again to system.ext4.tar and extract it to get the system folder.
Take the boot.emmc.win file and rename it to boot.img.
Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom ROM which is made for your device. Make sure you get the correct Meta-Inf folder, else the Zip won’t work and might worsen the condition of your device.
Select the META-INF, System folders and the boot.img and right click your mouse and select add to Archive.
In the Archive settings, choose the extension of the compressed file as Zip (Make sure of this part)
Now you can use this Zip file to flash it on your Custom recovery.
if there is a thread that the same with this then inform me and i will personally lock this one
kindly move this thread if it was in the wrong section. :laugh:
okay, i wrote this simple script to easily fix and regenerate the md5sum of our Nandroid backup to avoid mismatching when restoring it.
Please don't blame me if anything happens on your phone by doing this.
Requirements:
- Terminal Emulator
- Brain.apk
- Experience on flashing
Instruction
- flash the Nandroid_md5_fixer.zip thru cwm or stock recovery
- go to terminal emulator and type "md5fix"
- select your damaged backup and wait until it finish!
02/10/13 UPDATE!
http://qfs.mobi/f397801
- fix bootloop problem
- compatible with console provided by Aroma File Manager
NOTE: avoid using 'space' when renaming backup's folder. It must be in one word.
i hope this will help you
goodluck
Good Work!

7zip no luck but winrar works.
So the script recalculates the md5 sums. this assumes, that when you switch between various builds of "CWM recovery shell" the md5 calculation somehow calculates kinda "wrong" md5 sums.
a very useful tool. :good::good:

Sprint US 7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14 (new OTA) in a flashiable zip file already deoxed except QualcommSettings.apk so you can all update and keep root as well as recovery option. I know some one with some java experience can doedex the last part or I ll learn it but I am to tired now.
Has had some bloatwear removed google+,sprints smart bs, ext
Stock Deodex and bloat removed ftp://computersandauto.dyndns-server.com/photon 4glte new.zip
Same as Stock DEODEX but with Rangerbry MODS preinstalled also should have DSP manager wifi teather and rom tool box ftp://computersandauto.dyndns-server.com/pwoerandtoggel.zip
1. Most reliable way to flash this is to FACTORY RESET FIRST to clear any possible conflicting apks or odex files
2 flash ftp://computersandauto.dyndns-server.com/photon 4glte new.zip after install finishes only wipe devilk cashe
3 let completely boot in to home screen
4 reboot recovery then flash ftp://computersandauto.dyndns-server.com/pwoerandtoggel.zip if you want Pull down toggles and Extended power menu wipe devilk cashe only again and reboot
on first boot it they both will apear to hang on sprint boot screen no more than 2-4 mins after which it will say updating android

Hi,
How can data from CWM backup be included in update.zip file?
Beside, there is no logo.bin, uboot.bin, recovery.img in this update.zip. Are they really necessary to be included?
Thank you very much,
