[Q] Doubt about nandroid backup

Hi out there! First should say im new on Android, and want to learn at least to a medium level user (flashing diferents ROMS, testing them, setting my phone how i like to, etc). Im now learning the basic vocabulary, looking and reserching about my android model and software. And the question is the next one:
I want to root my phone(SGS2/GT-I9100) by this method because i read the whole 44 pages of the thread and sounds safe, easy and all the people talks great about it (except one user that brick his phone ).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
And i have read too that the first thing you should do after rooting is an nandroid backup, so you can get to this point in a future if something doesn´t work rigth.
Usually the nandroid backups are made with CWM or Titanium backup. I would like to use CWM, and my question is:
When I follow below rooting guide, the CWM isn´t permanent no? it just used to flash de SU-Busybox. So should i download and install it to make the "holy" nandroid backup?? I found this other thread where is explained how to make this nandroid backup, with RM and then using CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592104
So after rooting, i should follow those steps no?( i mean, getting RM) Because my doubt is that the first CWM (the one i use for rooting) is the same i can use for de nandroid backup?? or this one its just to flash the SU intaller and i need to download and install it (CWM)? So i can follow both guides without any problem? im not doing the same thing 2 times no?
Thanks, and sorry for my english, it´s a little rusty... Im a noob and hate my self (xD), but want to learn
Edited: Wrong tittle before, now is right

1. 1st rooting isn't cause your phone damage
2. nandroid backup is usefull, if u wanna flash u'r phone to custom rom, if custom rom that u'r use isn't stable u can back to u'r rom earlier using back up rom from nandroid backup
3. nandroid backup is fitur over the CWM (permanent use)
i'm only use CWM for backup, Titanium Backup is used to backup u'r app+data only. to backup with CWM just enter CWM mode & then choose backup rom, then CWM will build folder backup to u'r sdcard, if anything happen with u'r rom just enter CWM mode & then restore the backup that've u made. it's simple

[Q] cwm advice

Hi all
I have samsung galaxy gt P-6200 ; android 2.3 __ P6200XXKL7__kernel2.6.36......and I just root it.
Rooting was easy ; cwm.zip started fine but didn't work, it's froozen at REBOOTING SYSTEM, so. ..I reboot.
Now what cwm recovery do I need ? Because I want to do a nandroid backup of my stock rom, than flashing custom roms.
I made a lot of search in Xda and internet about android 3.2 but no luck...Or I'm missing something.
Thanks a lot

Hi again
I installed from market online nandroid backup, made a backup, than this cwm : p6200_CWMR_20111214.5.0.2.7.
Now cwm is working, and still there even if after factory reset. ( I made a second backup).
Both Backups are in the internal memory.
Will bacup works after flashing new roms even if they aren't in external sd card ? Can I flash because this ( >*[ROM][4.2.1] Android Open Kang Project - JB MR1 UNNOFICIAL) didn't work.
Thank again

I flashed stock rom P6200XXMC3 with odin ; every thing works great.
Now my bedroom looks delicious !
see u :laugh:

Hi

Hi
As I can see its an upgrade not a flash.
Ther's no difference between Roms if they are unbranded , I had XXKL7 and upgrade with XXMC3 .
I lost cwm recovery too , I think because of the stock rom.
Is that correct ?
thanks to our XDA and developpers
Good luck

Hi
I flashed cwm recovry 6... , super user than I made a nandroid backup.
After that It was time for the wonderful custom roms in the development section ...waaaaw , It's faster than ever and very easy to install , they are great.
See you

Generally you should use the same recovery version for restoring in which you have created the backup.
BTW "3e" reminds me of stock recovery. Usually you can't create a complete system backup (nandroid backup) in stock recovery. You will need to flash a custom recovery first, then create a backup.
Best is to check this thread about your device: Micromax Canvas 2.2 A114 Development, ROM, Root, CWM {Ultimate Thread}.
If you are registered on xda, you can post your question in the corresponding Q&A thread.
And here is a general guide for MTK devices: [GUIDE] Beginner's guide - first steps with a MTK phone.

thanks sir for your suggestion
much appreciated
is there any way to extract at least contacts from that .backup file created by android recovery 3e (stock recovery)

As I don't use any "backup" of stock recovery, you should better ask in one of the threads I posted in my previous answer.
I know that you can restore parts of a nandroid backup created in custom recovery (e.g. CWM or TWRP recovery).
Thanks for your understanding. Thread closed.

NO CWM RECOVERY tool for this unpopular device!!

So i've bought this unpopular tablet + phone device that has an android version 4.2.2 installed, Jelly bean. Brand name is: Neo. Full name would be: Neo Omnipad 3g. I've rooted it successfully but i kind of wanna have a backup of my system before i do some risky stuffs. I downloaded the Nandroid backup app in my phone and created a backup that is placed on my sd card now but the PROBLEM IS: I don't have a CWM recovery tool. I've tried to use ROM manager but it wont recognize my device as well which means i cant install any CWM Recovery tool that would support my device as well as backups, I also did tried the Quick boot and tried to put my device into Recovery mode but it stucked on the Android with an open body having Exclamation on it. Could somebody help me with this? Are there any other ways that could support my device in terms of having a backup of my current and original ROM or OS in this android? Thanks much!

If you can figure out how to unlock your phones' bootloader, you might be able use "Odin" to flash+backup your ROM and data.

[Completed] Can I able to restore the nandroid back of my stock rom I made though TWRP ?

Can I able to restore the nandroid back of my stock rom I made though TWRP using TWRP restore feature on my Samsung Galaxy J7 device ?
I did a nandroid back up of my stock rom of my device Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J700F) by using TWRP (I'm currently on it). My phone is rooted though (by installing superuser (update.zip) through TWRP). Could I be able to restore the Nandroid back I made, if any time I want ? Or since my stock rom is rooted and and have a custom recovery at the time I did backup, it can't be done or it won't work well?
Please help me !
Thanks

Hi!
Yup, it should work fine. That's exactly what the backup feature is for... Restoring to your backup state anytime.
Yes problems can always pop up in this hobby, but restoring should be a piece of cake. :good:
There is no device section for your device, but if you have questions in the future, you can post them here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
