Can you use a Nandroid backup across any ROM, or is it specific to the one you backed it up on? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question... I just switched ROMs cause I'm trying a few of them out, but for some reason it's saying my SIM card has no contacts. I'd also like my SMS's back too. THanks
I think so, wait for confirmation as I'm not 100 percent. But I do believe that is one of the main capabilities of a nandroid.

@OP:
Nandroid backup holds good ONLY for the ROM u flashed.
1. Flashed ROM 1
2. Took a nandroid backup
3. Cleaned and flashed ROM 2
At this point, the nandroid backup at step 2 will not hold good for ROM 2. If u restore it after step 3, u'll get back to ROM 1.
If u want internal stuff like contacts, etc, u got to use an app like TiBu.
1. Flashed ROM 1
2. Took a backup of user apps and data with TiBu
3. Cleaned and flashed ROM 2
4. Restored user apps and data using TiBu
For contacts, u wud need to back up and restore system data (only) "Contacts and Storage". This is the only system data I have been able to successfully restore across multiple ROMs.
Do I need to be flashed to that ROM to restore a backup of it? I've been getting stuck at the HTC loading screen, and after using HBoot or w/e and returning to stock, tried using CWM to restore from a backup. Do I need to flash RCMix3D ROM before I can restore from the backup made from it?
Restoring a nandroid backup from rcmix3d will put you back to that Rom with all apps and data you had at the point you made the backup. If you are restoring apps and data using titanium backup, you will have to flash rcmix3d first.

I thought so too, but all it's too is getting me stuck on the HTC boot screen. Been like that for 20 minutes so far. Dunno what I did wrong, but I'd like to get everything back to the way it was
A couple of my backups refused to flash. Do you have more than 1?

I have two for each of my ROMs, so four total. Created days apart though.
Do they all hang when booting?

A nandroid backup makes a complete copy of your phone as is when you perform the backup, obviously this includes the rom you are currently running.
If you are running rom A and do a nandroid and then flash rom B, and then restore the nandroid backup you previously made you lose everything you've done since the backup and you are back where you were on rom A when you did the nandroid.

Check out if both are EXT4 compatible.
ROM 1: EXT4 not compatible
ROM 2: EXT4 compatible
1. Flash ROM 1 (formats to non-ext4 and flashes ROM)
2. Nandroid backup of ROM 1
3. Flash ROM 2 (formats to ext4 and flashes ROM)
4. Nandroid backup of ROM 2
...
5. Restore backup of ROM 1
This could fail since partitions are ext4 and ROM 1 is not ext4 compatible.
Here is what I do as a standard before restoring any backup:
1. Data/factory wipe
2. Dalvik cache wipe
3. Restore ROM
This worked all the time, except once when I got MD5 error (probably cos I backed up on an earlier version of CWM, not sure though).
@biglittlegato
Yeah, they all hang on the HTC screen. It's starting to piss me off. I know that it's a risk with rooting and stuff, but I'd rather just not have to start all over with my content.... again. I just flashed a clean RCMix3D, so maybe it will let me restore my backup from that.
@Perseids
That kind of thing may be obvious to you, but not to those of us who are new to Android and rooting. Hence why I was asking in the first place. I get that I'd lose everything I haven't backed up... but right now I seem to have lost everything period, as none of my backups want to work for some reason.
Maybe I am doing it wrong? After getting to the stock version of 2.2, I go to ROM Manager, and then to manage backups/restores. I click on that, then hit the backup I want to restore from, and it's supposed to work. It does it's thing, then just freezes on the HTC screen once it reboots. I watched it and read the script, and there were no errors or anything that would give an indication as to why it's doing that...

Don't worry too much. EXT4 is a partition type. Most recent ROMs support this. Just make sure in the ROM thread OP if it converts partitions to EXT4 (if yes, what all partitions).
I was just reading the script while it was (trying) to restore, and it said something about erasing boot before restore... is that normal? I just did a full wipe, flashed to the ROM I did the backup from, and the backup seems to be stuck again.Dang.

Restoring process erases everything, and restores. Compare this to norton ghost partition restoration process.
I guess I might as well just start over from scratch. It was only a few days worth of pictures/videos/texts and stuff, so not a HUGE loss. Still, wish the backups had worked as they were supposed to. As of right now it's still frozen on the HTC screen hah.

Data on SD card will NOT be deleted unless u choose to format SD card. All ur pics, vids, etc reside on ur SD card.
It doesn't show up anywhere. I just booted into CWM, and tried to select one of the backups, but it said "no file found". WTF. Sooooo it's telling me the backups are there, but don't contain anything I think. Nice.

If you're backups are not restoring you will lose data that's part of the ROM. Your pics and videos would definitely still reside on the SD card. You'd have to format SD to lost those.

I hope someone can help me. I have a 16 gig GS3. When I plug it in to the computer It says I have 1.5gb free out of 11.9gb. This is after I deleted all but the rom I am using and most of my backups. I've tried using directorybind to move some apps but shadowgun was the only big one I had and I just deleted it. Also, if I check the properties on all the files in the sd card it comes to 8.5gb. That leaves 2gb of unseen files. If that is the OS then why do I only have 11.9gb available. I am kindof wondering if I am making a new partition everytime I flash one of these wonderful roms peope are making. Does anybody know how I can free up some space on here. I'm not storing anything on there and it wont be long before I have no room what so ever.

What recovery are you using? How exactly did you delete most of your backups?
If you're using some version of CWM 6, it stores the meat of your backup in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs directory. If you delete the backups in the backup folder, the blobs it references won't be deleted. Reboot into recovery, backup and restore, and free up nandroid space. That will delete any blobs that aren't associated with a backup. See if that gets you your space back.
Oh, and never delete stuff in the blobs folder, at least not if you expect your backups to work.

Ok, before I do this, let me make sure I understand you completely. I don't think I have done any restoring. So are all my backups stored in the blob? And a backup and a restore will take it down to one backup? Do I delete the blob and then do a new backup? I'm pretty sure this is my problem, because I was wondering why my backups were only about 20 megs.

Sorry Lazarus, I reread your post and realized that free up nandroid space must be an option. I did it and it cleared up 3gb of space. So I have some breathing room. But that still leaves 7gb of stuff on my internal sdcard. Seems like alot when I am trying to minimize stuff on there. Also, I still feel like my partition is shrinking. I am pretty sure there was at least 13gb there a couple weeks ago and now there is 11.9gb.

First, don't delete blobs. Bad stuff will happen.
When I said "reboot into recovery, backup and restore, and free up nandroid space", I meant in navigating the menus in CWR. When you get into recovery, select "Backup and Restore", then go to "Free Nandroid Space". If you already deleted the 20mb backup files you don't need, selecting that option will free the rest of the space. Also, any time you make a new backup, CWR will try to do the same thing before starting the backup. This way, you can selectively keep the backups you need and discard the ones you don't.
Again, don't delete any blobs and expect your backups to work. If for some reason you wanted to get rid of all your backups, you could delete the entire clockworkmod folder, and CWR will remake any directories it needs when you make your next backup. The downside of freeing space this way is you'd loose all of your backups, of course.
The reason this changed in CWM6 is to save space. Instead of backing up whole partitions in one huge file, it backs up each individual file into the blobs folder. If you back up often and much doesn't change much in between backups, CWR will only make another copy of files that actually changed. Smart, eh?
I just did my first ROM / unlock / TWRP /CROM install today and all went perfect thanks to all the guides here, but I have some questions now, more so about my TWRP flash....
I just updated twrp from 2.3.3 to the newest 2.4.4 following their guide using goo manager. I assume it was successful because I'm typing on her now' however.... My home screen now displays <Safe mode> on thebottom left.... Why is this? Also, after the flash, I lost my swiiftkey board app? Actually, seemed to have lost all my apps lol... What did I do wrong? (I didnt titanium backup before I updated, didn't know I needed too lol)
Do most use both nandroid backup AND titanium or just one?
Think that's all I have for now....
BTW, on Cleanrom in her 3.4.7 odex i think...
Edit, I still have all my app icons on my screen, but not in the main menu?

Have you try to power down, then power it backup?? If successful you should have all your apps back.
Edit: what firmware you were on before flashing CROMI??
Yes sir, soon as I did a quick 2nd reboot, she was back to normal. Thank you for the reply, I just get nervous with this being my first time time. Go figure, and finally give up waiting for 4.2, unlock and romantic up, and it drops the next day lol.
I was on 10.4.4.25 I think

Few more questions
Just had a few more questions that I thought of while playing with my NEW tablet, (I honestly stopped using my tablet for months after I got it because it was so laggy, and CROMI has changed all of that!!!!!!!) and figured I would bump this thread vrs start a new one... Sorry for the noob questions, but knowledge is power and Im trying to learn! ( I do read alot! )
Currently on TWRP 2.4.4, CROMI 3.4.7 Odex w/ the OC Kernel 1.8ghz
Now, I have noticed a huge increase in my system files from when I came from stock... IE Stock, I had around 55gigs or something free on internal memory, now, I have around 30, is this normal and what is using that much space? I currently appear to have 2x backups in TWRP menu..
I also have got the Titanium backup as suggested, and backup regularly... But what exactly is it backing up other then apps? Does it create the same backup files that TWRP does? I assume TWRP is backing up the critical O/S files??
How many backups in TWRP are needed and when can I delete (if ever) some? Im guessing here, that TWRP is needed only if you get stuck in bootloop or some other situation that prevents a full boot to home screen?
Should I try to find the backup files in TWRP and Titanium and copy them to my home PC for safe keeping? (I did follow the guides and also have them on clouds)
When preforming a "clean install" of an updated CROMI version, will those backup files on the internal storage be wiped, or are they protected from a wipe / "clean install"? Is a "dirty flash" un-advised? I plan to only use CROMI roms...
I also downloaded the ROM manager thing, as suggested by some.... but, do I really need that? It seems like its just a Titanium clone, with some extras... Also, the ROM manager has some things like boot animations and such, are those safe to use with CROMI? I was looking at some apps to clean up my storage from junk files, but I wonder, if those apps are compatible with CROMI?!?
Ok, thats all I have for now I think, and thank you for the help as always!!!!
OK. I will provide you the best advise as possible but there are variations depend on individual taste.
1. Internal memory growth - possible you backup to your internal instead of external sdcard. Look for large file like videos, rom/kernel in the /sdcard/ download folder. Do clear cache weekly. I just assumed that you download all the roms and backup to your internal.
2. Backing up
a) TWRP - this is called nandroid backup. It will back up your entire OS with all the apps and cache and setup...everything. Before you upgrade from one rom version to the next you should take a backup before do so. Or once in a while if you making a major change to your OS on the same version, you should do a second backup. This backup can restore you back exactly the way it was before you mess up. The disadvantage is you don't have a choice to pick and choose what you can restore. It's either all or none. For this you should keep one backup for the current OS, one for major modified to current OS, one for new OS and one for major modified to the new OS, so total about 4 max. Unless you flashing more than just cromi. This nandroid backup will bring you back your previous setup if you have boot loop.
b) Titaniumbackup - This only backup your system apps, user installed apps and all the settings belonged to the app. You can't use this to restore your OS.(like when you have bootloop). It used to restore applications only. To keep the backup from growing, you should set Max backup history to 5. It's only keep maximum of 5 recent backups.
3. Clean install will only wipe INTERNAL memory, not your external SDcard. So it's highly to keep your Titaniumbackup and TWRP backup on your External sdcard. For double protection make a backup of your sdcard to PC.
4. Personally, I stay away from Rom Manager. Only use bootanimantion, themes etc.. from the tf700 threads. Rom Manager is not tf700 specific so some features may work, some may even brick your device.
5. App to clean up junkfiles - you don't need such app. Most of the stuff you download will be in the /sdcard/download or in the download app folder, example if you use Sugar Sync app to download, the download file will be in /sdcard/mysugarsync folder. You need to keep track of what you put onto the devcie is the best way to manage your internal storage. For external sdcard, you should keep 1), rom, kernel or any necessary zip files to reinstall your OS. 2) all your TWRP and Titanium backup files 3) Anything that important to you.
Hope it all makes sense to you!

Yes, I was backing up to the internal memory! I have now backed up TWRP onto my microSD card! I was trying to change Titanium's backup path to the microsd, and I have 3 folders: /storage -Red, not writable -sdcard0 -sdcard1- I assume red is a system folder, sdcard0 is the internal storage, and sdcard1 is the mircoSD, however, when I try to select it, it says "this folder cannot be accessed"?? How do I fix this? I have never formatted my mircoSD or anything, just plugged it in when it came in the mail, and it worked....

As I mentioned, I have never formatted my mircoSD.... Just opened its package (64g Scandisk something or another), plugged it in and its been working just fine ever since, although Xfering files is abit slow :/
Its currently formatted in a "Generic hierarchical" file system..... Being that it will be a life line for my tabby, will TWRP / Titan / etc.., be OK with reading, booting, and w/e else may be required from this type of file system??

That's not the real filesystem that the card is formatted with, that's what Windows sees 'through' the connection with the tablet.
Hello,
Firstly sorry for posting it here, really couldn't figure out where to put this thread.
Just got my Desire 600 and of course rooted it straightaway, piece of cake actually, unlocked bootloader, flashed CWM and than SuperSU.
Everything Was Great until I got to creating backups.
Problem:
CWM creates the backup but /data files are always empty and thus my backups are unusable, if anyone has any clue what's going on help would be much appreciated.
NOTE: you can see files which CWM created in attachment

UPDATE: I was able to create /data partition via custom backup job but now I can't restore it, it says error while restoring /data
So I have been doing a lot of flashing and I wanted to clean up my phone so I did a full wipe,factory reset and then rooted,unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.Then I backed up my fresh image of Samsung Touchwiz.Then I moved my TWRP backup of my Carbon setup into the backup directory created by my initial backup.then I did a restore of that backup.Now my problem is that my directory structure is out of whack.I plug the phone into the PC and all I see is Rocket Player,Android and clockworkmod folders in that order.I can't access Music or set a custom ringtone,those directories are not found.I can no longer see the original backup either,Trying to figure out what I did wrong.Did I need to flash Carbon and Gapps first and then do a restore?I missed a step somewhere just wondering if anyone can shed any light.
Thanks.
When you cleaned house on your internal storage while on TW, everything was in /sdcard. When you flashed Carbon (AOSP JB) Jellybean moved your internal storage to /0/sdcard and everything from TW is sort of hidden from that directory now. You should be able to see it or unhide that data in /data/media, /legacy, or /emulated if you switch back to TW. Idk if you'll be able to find it while currently on AOSP, someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

Hey man thanks for the reply-I repeated the whole process,doing a complete TWRP wipe as in no OS at all,flashed back to stock,flashed a "virgin" Carbon and Gapps,THEN did my TWRP restore (After a backup of the virgin Carbon).Now everything seems to be working normally.Evernote had to reformat and Swiftkey needed to download languages again but so far so good.
Hope this helps someone in the future-couldn't find any procedures for a restore AFTER doing a Full wipe,starting over from scratch.Now I know,first flash the ROM you will be restoring.
