Hi XDA,
My first post so I hope I have followed the correct procedures.
I have searched for this and haven't found anything that solves this.
My question is this:
I have a Nandroid backup of my PACMAN ROM on my SDCard (It has everything set perfectly to how I like and runs amazing).
Now I am going to fully wipe device and Dual Boot my device using a TW Rom (not sure which yet) as primary and PACMAN as secondary.
I wanted to know if I could restore my secondary rom (PACMAN) using the backup I have created previously?
If I need to do something specific (updating scripts or such) I am wiling to do so and i am not afraid of getting a bit deeper into this.
I have been following rlorange's thread, chenxiaolongs and Graraks also but nothing seems to address this.
Would it be possible to use rlorange's backup tool before I wipe (creating a 2nd backup of the same rom and its state) then use it to restore my 2nd ROM after flashing/dual booting?
Something tells me I can't but I just cant find enough info on this to answer this myself so I'm hoping you bright sparks could help me?
I hope thats not too n00by and thanks for reading

If you have a i9505, you should post in its Q&A forum, as someone may be able to give you better answers in that forum, due to their experience with such a device. IF you have any other device, you should mention details of it, even though your question is about using a Nandroid backup . posting in general discussions may not be wise IMHO or you can PM the member whose thread you are following or wish to follow for some guidance or doubts that you have.

Many thanks for the advice. I was under the impression as I'm very new I had to post here until I had 10 posts.

its only limited in development forums, to reduce spam and already addressed questions, that are found in Q&A forums for your specific device. SO you can always post in any other forum and mostly advised to post in your device specific Q&A forum for best answers
BTW you only have few more posts and post limitations are gone

At long last, a Q&A section has been added to this forum! Hopefully this will help to reduce the clutter in the General section.
In the next few days, the moderators will be moving some threads around. Most of the movement will involve taking threads out of General and placing them into Q&A. This is going to be a long process of determining what belongs where, so please do not report these types of threads during this time. It will take some time for everyone to get adjusted to the new section, so the regulars members around here should provide gentle reminders to others to use this section.
I've posted a reminder here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945344
to let everyone know what types of posts belong in General and what belongs in Q&A. Everyone should take a quick minute to read it over.
While we are cleaning up around here, if the members who regularly frequent this forum (RCs in particular) want to make suggestions, I'd appreciate your comments. If there are old or outdated sticky posts or newer posts that should becoming sticky. Also, I'd like some suggestions about what to do with this very long Q&A thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483052
I've closed the thread in favor of having new questions posted as new threads, but does it have good information that it should remain sticky in the Q&A section? Is it mostly outdated material that can fade away?
Post all of your comments, suggestions, gripes, and concerns here.
Thanks!
Much needed! Much appreciated! Thnx a bunch! This will clear up a lot of mess. Contributors will have to be more vigilant now.:good:
EDIT: @kinfauns: I just gave you your 1000th thanks in this thread.:good:
great sign.. shows that our forum is getting more attention.. thank you for the much needed new section..
Oh finally !!
Thank you very much to the Admins, SMODs & MODs for this; specially to Red5, juzz86, siberian tiger & kinfauns. :good: :thumbup:
Cheers !
Thanks Mods and and SMODS...
so finally Galaxy R is gaining attention, traffic too...

No, you shouldnt close this thread!! now i have a small question which is related to one simple issue (Yes i am noob :silly: and i dont knw to solve simple issue on my own, PROBLEM ???? lol)
For that simple issue there is no need to create a NEW THREAD, right ???
so where should i post that,
So, in my view that thread should be opened and stickied as it is now !!!
P.S. ; I have read that instructions post which you have posted above in the OP...
Thanks :good:
Thanks to everyone on this forum for making a successful transition and using the Q&A section for help and troubleshooting threads. I got done reviewing the General posts about a week ago and moved a few hundred threads over into Q&A. I'm very pleasantly surprised at the small number of new posts I've had to move into Q&A. For whatever reason, you guys seem to do a much better job (than some other fora) of using the Q&A section and keeping General free of clutter. :good:
There will always be some misplaced posts from time to time, so please use the "Report Post" button to have one of the moderators move a post if you see one out of place.
Now that the General section is free of most of these question posts, I believe it's time to continue the cleanup and move onto the Development section. Specifically, I believe the guides and howto's are a better fit in General so the Development section can just hold actual development threads... ROMs, tools, utilities, etc. I'll take a look at some of these when I find some free time.
Thanks!
We'll are always here to help you in making our section a better place.
There's one request I would like to make, could you please leave the guides which have information related to development of ROMs / make CWM flashable packages / dev related guides / etc in the Dev section ?
It would be really hard to find the guides in the General section with the number of threads we already have there & more to come in the future.
We do have a thread by Fenix in the General section which lists all such guides which could be made a sticky.
Let's us know your thoughts on the above.
Cheers !

Hi,
Please ask your question here.
It is a general Question and Answer thread in the Galaxy R forum. Any of your questions about the Galaxy R should go into its Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum, or into the thread I have indicated.

Hi,
Please try and post into the correct section or at least into the General section for your device. I don't see how the ROM developer will ever find this thread, especially since you don't mention which device it is for. Seeing how you now have your 10 posts and can post into Dev threads, be a little bit careful with posts like this one. In some Development threads it will be OK as you are confirming that a previously broken feature is now fixed, but in other Development threads it may be considered out of bounds -especially if there is a change log indicating the fix. You will have to look at what's being posted, how it is being received and then trust your judgement.
Cheers

Maybe it's an "old" device. On XDA, such forums can be found in legacy devices.
Check if it's there.

You can always check General section, and ask your questions about devices without a device specific forum in the general Q&A section.

What you are trying to achieve with this thread is admirable, but the very first response gives an idea of the fundamental problem - people refuse to read/educate themselves.
Your thread clearly states its purpose and intentions, and gets ignored straight away. The second query is totally unrelated too and has already taken this off topic

Hi I have a Wiko Jerry with Android 6.0
I searching A couple days for A rooting method. I have tryed all one click apps like Kingoroot, Framaroot, 360root and so on. Please help me with my devices
Sorry for my bad english
Good Bye
Alex
Hi, i would like this too. This phone is unstable as hell with it's default rom Android 6 [R16]. Wiko does not respond to any complaint at all. So even if they have better phones, this directly is the last Wiko. My Galaxy S2 is even faster and more stable, i think i'm going to order a new usb board and repair my S2. Back to Wiko Jerry, it seems to resync the screen on every app. Movies start to replay randomly on any time. Sound and picture falls away for a split second. Apps just stop, and when restarted the phone just show a blak or white screen. So you really have to stop the app, (via the square btn) not just exit, to be able to reload the app. So if it would be rootable and be flashed with LineageOS it would be great! Thanks!
***edit*** So i returned it to the store, they are going to send it Wiko repair center. Did not change anything on the phone, no rooting no nothing. Let's see what they are going to do about it. As my wife has the same one with similair behaviour. So to me it is a firmware bug or a hardware bug.
I have a boot.img and recovery.img I made that I can send you!

You can't start a new section for that device. The Administrators here are in charge of that. If your device does not have its own section here, you'll have to create a new thread in the section linked below, that is where development is posted for devices that have no section of their own.
