did a search didnt find anything...
I hear ppl backup and restore there using cwm what does that do ? why does it actually restore?
When you back up using CWM you are doing what is called a nanadroid back up. When you run the back up it creates a complete image of your phone in its current state so all system and data apps, personal settings widgets on your home screen etc are all backed up. So if you flash a new rom and you don't like it rather than starting from scratch you can just restore your nandroid and your phone will be back to the state it was before you flashed the new rom
I would recomend doing a nadroid back up before you flash anything in recovery, some people might say this is required but in my personal experince it can't hurt.

If you flash something in cwm that you were not supposed to, like a theme not designed for your rom, it can cause the phone not boot. If you did a nandroid you can just restore and everything will be back to how it was before you flashed

it is a really simple thing.. I just did it for the first time and it feels easy and nice to have your whole system backed up on your sd card
I recently unlocked my bootloader, rooted my phone, and install a custom rom. I don't want to have any of this anymore and I want to restore my phone back to its stock OS. I've researched on the internet and everything I tried didn't work. Please help!
Did you try looking here?
I looked there. I can't find any posts about how to fix it.
1. There are stock Roms out there just Google it
2. You didnt make a NANDroid backup first?

Whats a NANDroid backup?
A nandroid Backup its a restore of ur system. If u havent got one try asking someone who can upload nandroid from the stock os of the nexus. What guide do u use?

that's the point of the backup... just wipe things before installing the backup.
yea its not a bad a idea to do the backup protect u from a bad flash and as he said thats why the option there 8)
To better answer your question: restoring from a backup restores EVERYTHING to that EXACT state your phone was when you initially did your backup.
So it's not bad, and actually very good . I have 5 different ROM backups on my sd card.
Rom Factory
You can also use Rom Factory and create your own rom. This will not create a total backup of your phone, just the required folders for the operating system.
Hi.
I want to know if i need to wipe things in CWM before restoring a backup previously made ? Or I can directly restore a backup ?!
Thanks !
When you restore a backup is for a few reasons. When an upgrade has not gone well, a bad root has not gone well for you. Have lost major stuff. So no need for a wipe the restore wipe and set back.
Okay thanks, Because i just tried ICS and HTC Sense 4 on my Desire, but i want to recover all my files. So i backuped. That's why i ask this question.
Did u restore!?

you dont need to wipe things in order to restore form CWM. It will restore your previous version of rom including your files.
I just recently installed an official cyanogen mod for my phone and I wanted to restore my system, files, everything.
Don't get me wrong though.. I tried using Nandroid Backups I back it up before flashing, installed the rom properly after flashing.
My problem is, what should I use in restoring my system files without reverting back to my old rom?
Thanks.

I do not understand you. Make a backup in CWM and then when you want to restore the ROM, in CWM make a restore.

Okay imagine this.. My current rom is cyanogen by tj styles and i wanted to use the official cyanogen rom.
So what I did, I backed up my files using CWM and tried to flash another rom (official cyanogen) . When I did successfully, I tried restore using CWM and after that.. I'm only back to my old rom. (cyanogen by tjstyles)
So my question is, how can i switch to a new ROM without losing my files?

Only system apps will give fc if you restore them + their data...
On most roms, normal apps will not give fc...
They fc the most if the rom has some memory hack implemented...
