Ever time I do a Nandroid restore or through CWM, if I go to even my most recent backup (last night), as soon as it boots, I get a lock screen with a black background and TONS of FC messages. I have several backups from Stock Root, Docs Rom first flash, etc. None of them ever restore properly in neither Nandroid nor CWM. Anyone else having this problem?

Did you see any error messages during your restore? Did you have a lag fix before you tried a restore?
No error messages during restore. I had a lagfix applied to my newest flash, but was not applied to any of the backups. Would that still cause all the FCs?
I had this happen before as well. If you were running a lagfix, or changing between Froyo and Eclair, your backups might just be incompatible. Besides, sometimes backups get corrupted.

The Nandroid backups have issues. If you made a backup with lagfix enabled, I don't think it is restorable at all. If you disabled lagfix, it is probably restorable, but not directly.
It seems that the nandroid backup of the captivate does not backup everything.
I found that after I restored a backup, I still had a kernel that I had not backed up.
So, If you want to get back to the nandroid backup, I think it will be multi-step.
Probably safest is,
Flash Stock Odin, clear data and cache.
Flash the rom version that your nandroid backup was made on.
Disable the lagfix, if there was one
Restore the nandroid
Restore the lagfix, if there was one

I have noticed issues if you go between i9000 and captivate roms as the file system is slightly different. You may have to "adb shell", cd /data and rm -r dalvik-cache as well to make sure that it is cleared. It will make the initial boot MUCH longer, but it takes care of that compatibility issue better than CMW does with not being able to find the dalvik cache on SGS phones.
This is a noob question, but I have a bit of experience under my belt just so you don't have to worry too much about using "confusing" terminology.
I have rooted/ROMed many devices in the past and have heard guides talking about doing a Nandroid backup. My question is how exactly does it work? Say for example: I am on the stock ROM (rooted of course) and I do a Nandroid backup while on stock. If go to say Cyanogen and I don't like it can I just restore from my nandroid backup like I would flash any other ROM to go back to stock. And if that will get me back to stock does it also preserve all of the user data that was in that ROM when it was backed up?
Any other information about about nandroid backups would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
From my understanding, the backup backs up all the stuff on your phone EXCEPT for what's on the SD card.
The idea is that you do a back up. Then install a new rom that you want to try out. BUt you don't like it, so you just restore the backup and woolah! your old phone is back along with all your settings, data, etc.
I'm not sure why it's called a nandroid backup, but from what I gather, you can do it with clockworkmod, just boot into recovery. And use the backup and restore option.
That was my understanding as well. I just wasn't sure on the situation with the user data (or the backup in general really). So all it takes is a nandrid backup to revert back to (rooted) stock?
A Android backup takes all the files on your device and saves them as a data.img,system.I mg,cache.I mg,user data,and recovery.img. It is also restorable through fastboot. It can also get you out of a tough spot. Say you are messing with a new theme and it causes your device not to boot up or causes unwanted problems. You can restore a backup to a time when your device was working correctly.

this is true unless you do a nandroid+android_secure backup. this also backs up your external app data

Yes you're correct. You can restore but just remember some app might have ext data in sdcard. If you don't delete it, when you restore you'll get the same as before

So if you want to restore say just your data can you just delete the images you do not wish to restore from the backup folder and it will just keep the ones you have? Or won't it work at all if you start deleting images?

i wouldnt tamper with a nandroid backup, but if you have clockwordmod recovery, that is possible. clockwordmod recovery gives you the option to restore one of those images (but only one at a time).
does a nandroid backup include your kernel?

It does! It's a compelete "snapshot" of your phone with all apps/settings etc.
Does it also backup the stuff which has been stored on the external ext2-Partition, which is mounted to enlarge the space for apps?
Same with restore of this nandroid-backup. Will it also place the backup again to the same space?
As I know there's a (symbolic) link put into /data which might get problems.

If you install another ROM with different kernel and then you want to go back to nandroid backup, does it work ?
Nandroid backups
I was wondering if the framework is saved as well. I recently updated to the ICS firmware and am wondering if I restore with a backup from the old GB firmware will that be restored as well or will it still stay on the ICS? From my understanding ICS firmware will run previous versions
will nandroid backup (made from cwm) un-brick your phone if say, you installed a custom rom via cwm and it bricked it?

Yes,It restores all data and apps nandroid backup is a mirror copy of your phone.after restoring you will get your previous stock ROM.

im not sure, i think nandroid backup will unbrick your phone as long as you can boot to recovery. atleast when i installed a roms pach it didnt fully boot, got stuck at bootanimation, no loop, just froze, then i got it back with nandroid backup
I have the latest CWM 5.xxx, but there is no Nandroid backup option.

- backup
- restore
- advanced restore

Hi,
I have the nvflash recovery thing on my G2x and there is this very weird thing that happens that I was wondering if anyone else experienced.
The first time I flashed the CM7 I backed up the whole thing and restored and everything was fine. Then I did some stuff and backed up again except this time when I restore all my apps are gone and none of the widgets work so I restore the first backup again and everything is fine. Then I add all the stuff I added on stock and backup again. Then I restore the new one and the same thing happens but when I restore the first backup everything is fine.
Am I doing something wrong? Or has anyone experienced this before?
Are you performing a WIPE before you restore from the NANDROID Backup?
When ur backing up the rom u don't wipe anything rite? Just go into recovery and backup? Cuz ur not supposed to wipe anything just go in and backup
Yes, I am performing a wipe before I restore and no I'm not performing a wipe before the backup lol otherwise there would be nothing to backup
I have a updated g2x (gingerbread via Lg updater) installed NVflasher was able to boot into recovery performed a nandroid back up did a full wipe and was going to flash Xbroarders rom until i relized i put it on my internal instead of external so i then tried to flash my back up and got "no file found"did a reboot and all im getting is a black screen wit flashing keys. plz help

I've tested it (the free version) but it use the CWM for restoring the full nandroid backup,
it is interesting for restoring only apps or data... (like titanium backup)
you can try it too...perhaps something escape to me...

It's possible to make a complete restore of a TWRP backup.
