I have just rooted my n5, and for now I want to stay stock.
I want to backup my efs partition, just in case. Is it possible to do so using the stock recovery, or make a full nandroid?
You will need custom recovery and then can do either a full backup or just the EFS. I know for certain that TWRP gives you the options.

I know I can do it with TWRP but is dit possible without custom recovery ?

Do i need to flash a stock boot.img when restoring a backup from TWRP?
My experience points to yes because I tried and it never got to boot animation after nandroid restore. Not 100% sure though.

Well if you think about it technically... If your backup is a custom rom and you restore it you have to flash its kernel, so since the backup is like a custom rom only backupped so you will have to flash its kernel too
I used a mod ROM but I made a backup before doing that. The problem is that I use now CWM recovery (6.0.1.2) and I cannot restore the stock data. I get "Error while flashing boot image". I do not know what I am doing wrong
I go to restore from internal sdcard --> and I choose the restored backup
I have wiped all the data/cache & dalvik cash available. But still nothing. Does anyone know?
Did you use a different version of CWM recovery when you took the backup? If so it might have a different version of nandroid backup in it and be using a different backup format. If the CWM recovery is different, can't you put the original CWM recovery back on so the backup will restore with it?
Unfortunately I do not remember which recovery version it had but I am almost certain that it was the same version

An easy way to tell is to think about if you ever installed a new recovery. ROMs don't do that for you. ROM Manager has the ability to update your recovery image if you tell it to do so.
Your error is telling you that the recovery you have installed doesn't know how to handle the backed up boot.img. You could removed the boot.img from the backup and try restoring it again. Google it, if you don't know how to do that.
Does the MD5 check pass?
I just installed 4EXT Recovery, and it was able to restore my recent CWM recovery backups where CWM could not (>10,000 files bug). It appears that it doesn't support your device yet, but you never know.
Failing that, perhaps look at other alternatives. Maybe see if TWRP can restore CWM recovery backups, and if it supports your device.
Good luck.
Hey guys, I've been using CW Recovery Version 6.0.1.0 (Installed from Ez Recovery) for about the past week or so, and have started getting errors where CWM can't restore the data, cache, system, or boot from any of my four back ups. (One on stock rooted/unlocked, one on Pac Man, one on Galaxy Mod with stock JB kernal, and the other on Galaxy Mod with the lean kernal.)
After falling victim to the repeating "0" folder, and large file sizes for blobs, I decided I'd give TWRP a try. (Note, at this point, CWM was able to restore all of my backups.) So I flashed TWRP 2.2.0.0 from Ez Recovery, and then re-installed Galaxy Mod, but realized I forgot to back up my apps and data. So, I reflashed CWM and now after having flashed TWRP and reinstalling (I did do all the system/cache wipes and formats) Galaxy Mod, CWM cannot restore any part of any of my backups, and AppExtractor doesn't recognize them, even though they are right there on the SDext.
Anyone happen to have an idea of what's causing these /system/cache/data/boot errors??
If you flashed TWRP and then reinstalled Galaxy Mod but forgot to back up your data the smart thing to do is boot into recovery and back up your data using TWRP. Also you just freaking replace CWM with TWRP so of course it won't restore it as you no longer have that recovery.
I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought. ;o
All my app data, sms, etc. is on my latest CWM backup. And I do know that you can't recover CWM backups, with TWRP, so I did in fact reflash CWM and even though I left all of the backups untouched, not even CWM can restore any of them. So, I can't just backup my data on TWRP if all of it is on a CWM backup. ;o

you can backup your CURRENT data on TWRP. I guess I wasn't clear as I said to backup your current setup. I don't recommend you using ez recovery to flash a custom recovery as it is outdated. All I can say is I didn't have that problem using the current version CWM recovery but did experience them using version 6.0.1.0.
Ahhh, gotcha.
Well, I'll try manually installing 6.0.1.0 (As I know CWM tends to be version specific) and also the latest version, just to see how things go. If it doesn't work, then well, I'll just rebuild everything from scratch. ;P
And thanks for the quick replies.

Just make a nandroid backup of your current ROM before you flash the kernel, if you need to go back to stock just restore the nandroid and you'll be back to what you had before you flashed. No need to complicate things with trying to backup just your stock kernel, a normal nandroid backup will do what you're looking for.

Full wipes are usually needed whenever you change ROM, whether it's before restoring a backup, or before flashing a new one.
Does it work if you move your TWRP backup off the device, do a full wipe, then put it back and restore?
