I'm running a "data2sd" installation of Omni Kang Beta 10 and would like to make a nandroid of my current install before trying a different rom. Can someone please give me the "proper" steps to take to do the nandroid, and then how to restore it, If I don't like the other rom? TIA
Flash data2sd1.zip and do the backup.
Same to restore.

If i clean flash a new Rom but restore the data part from a backup i did earlier from another rom from recovery will it work? Im using TWRP recovery.
ive always had mixed results on this. if youre going from a TW ROM to an AOSP or AOKP rom, likely not. If you use TiB and backup your apps and their respective data, and restore them via the same method, that 99.9999% of the time works
i made a twrp nandroid backup of my stock sense rom before installing cyanogenmod and now i want to revert back to the sense rom. would anyone be kind enough to tell me the procedures of doing this? are there any special steps i have to perform first? any help would be very much appreciated
Just wipe and then use the restore feature.

Hi guys,
after many atempts to find solutions and several hours without success I hope someone here can help me.
My configuration:
Phone: Nexus 4 16GB
ROM: Resurrection Remix LP v5.3.9
Kernel: 3.4.106-unleashed-101u+
Recovery: CWM 6.0.4.7 touch
This combination really works well. But when I boot into recovery, making a nandroid backup and afterwards restore it, I get a bootloop with the boot animation from the rom. The backup itself has around 2GB. Both, backup and restore processes are confirmed by cwm without errors.
I already tried to clean cache and dalvik cache before I made the backup, but restoring also doesn't work. A dirty flash of the ROM after cwm restoring (as a read in another thread) didn't work.
Is it possible that my cwm doesn't backup the preload partition (mentioned here)? Can the kernel or the ROM be the reason? Any other hints or a guesses?
You can update your CWM recovery or try other, like TWRP.
With TWRP you can change what partitions you want to backup
Sorry bad english
Upgrade of CWM is not possible, as 6.0.4.7 is already the latest version.
In the meanwhile I did some further tests: CWM 6.0.4.7 without touch is not working, too: The N4 gets stuck to the rom boot animation.
TWRP backs the same partitions up as CWM does, but works! I'm happy to be able to make and restore nandroid backups.
Still I'm wondering why nandroid backups using my former favorite recovery CWM don't work
I recently bricked my D801 attempting to restore a CloudyG3 (kitkat) nandroid backup over a modified stock Lollipop ROM. I'm thinking it was because I didn't flash the appropriate KK baseband first. Is that so? Why do I need to do that? Does the nandroid backup not include the baseband? So if I had flashed the baseband first would the nandroid restore been uneventful?
If somebody could walk me through these scenarios, I would appreciate it. What I want to avoid is restoring KK stock, rooting, using KK autorec to install TWRP, updating TWRP with Blastagator's newest version, installing a new ROM, restoring apps and data from TIB, reconfiguring all system data. I want to be able to use nandroid backups to avoid all those extra steps.
Scenario 1 (as above): Going from any variation of LP stock back to CloudyG3 KK. What do I do?
Scenario 2: Going from Cloudy to AOSP-based ROM having made a nandroid backup of Cloudy. What do I do?
Scenario 3: Going from AOSP ROM back to Cloudy, hopefully using the Cloudy backup. What do I do?
I have a JDI panel btw so it's imperative I avoid white lines. I understand that using Blastagator's TWRP will help avoid that problem because it auto-switches. I also understand that many ROMs (such as Cloudy) also choose an appropriate kernel automatically. Do all/most AOSP ROMs install a kernel? If not what do I do? If so are most of them auto-switching?
I'm not hard bricking this phone again if I have to use Cloudy KK until I sell it. There are worse things. But I'd really like to be able to go back and forth using nandroid backups as I have with other devices.
Thanks,
Ron
Hello,
I'm currently running stock oos, rooted.
I need to know if I wish to flash a custom rom now and take a nandroid backup from twrp of the current rom , what all partitions do I take a backup of.
Also, if I wish to come back to oos, do I need to flash oos twice in recovery and then restore the backup taken earlier for oos, or just wipe data and restore backup without flashing oos twice.
Thanks in advance!
