[Q] Package Nandroid as update.zip

can a nandroid backup be packaged as an update.zip and if so whats the best way to do it
am i right that you can
extract data.img and system.img and then do what you need to their
then zip up the package
then zign it
but then i think i would be missign boot.img or is that not needed

Its simple enouph just to use rom manager and let it do all the work

I've same problem.
I have a samsung galaxy gio gt5660 and rom manager don't recognize unofficial 5.0.2.6 cwm recovery for this phone. So I can not use rom manager.
I have a nandroid backup with these files: boot.img - cache.rfs.tar - data.rfs.tar - nandroid.md5 -recovery.img - sd-ext.ext2.tar - system.rfs.tar and I'd want to create an update zip for flashing with cwm.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks

[Q] CWM Recovery using ADB (Trying to learn the long way)

Hi,
(newbie question)
I have CWM recovery installed on my galaxy nexus (installed w/o ROM MANAGER). I've successfully created a backup. I've tarred the backup directory and moved to file to my computer.
I know I can restore easily with ROM Manager or booting into CWM but I'm trying to learn things the hard way and want to restore using fastboot.
I've extracted the tar which contains..
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
When doing some googling the process is to sequentally flash all the img files. However the data and system are not packaged as img files but tars.
So what is the process for a complete restore with fastboot?

Eould love to know this as well. I have ADB setup etc but my CWM backup produced .tar files(cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, syste,.ext4.tar) not .img files (apart from recovery.img and boot.img).
Any help appreciated !

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First you need : http://www.4shared.com/zip/2L09-JyW/Root_Nexus_S.html
After that you need : remove install-recovery.sh just in .....
run in windows-> Start->at the search bar write cmd and navigate into your android sdk is installed
For me :
C:/"Programs and Files (x86)"/Android/android-sdk/tools/>adb shell
# rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#exit
or with Root Explorer into system/etc/install-recovery.sh just renam it (ex. : .sh.old)
Now you can download this Stock Romv2.3.4 : http://www.4shared.com/file/cJbNf1Nf/NexusS.html
just unpack Nexus.7z with passw: surdupetru
Now , copy NexusS.zip into sdcard, and than you can install it with CWM
( shut down your phone -> press power and volume up at the same time -> choose recovery mod-> wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition , advanced Wipe Dalvick-Cache and now choose install zip from sdcard, yes -> navigate into your sdcard and click NexusS.zip. Waitt for installing ...and you will see a nice Stock Android 2.3.4 with root permission, fast & more stable! Good luck!

hi and thanks for replay . it's very good but i can't copy file to my sdcard . copy with pc finished normaly but copied file is not in my sdcard so i think settings,apps,msgs,sdcard a.d all other is read only ! i install recovery by adb and recovery load normaly but can not copy custom rom file !
