Hello all. I need to put my watch back to stock. I have the classic BT version. I plan on restoring a nandroid backup I made but what would be the best way to go about reverting the recovery back to stock from TWRP? Thanks!!

My phone is rooted, backedup with clockwork and I even used sprite backup to backup the phone just in case. I plan on flashing my phone for the first time with the Epic Experience rom since it seems to be the most popular.
I'm pretty happy with my phone's current state except the battery life once in a while. So after flashing with a custom rom how do I revert back and restore my phone to the "EXACT" way it is now?
Make a nandroid backup in clockwork, then you can go back whenever you like.

Restore nandroid backup and flash stock kernel. You will most likely have to flash a non stock kernel for a custom rom, and even if you dont HAVE to, you will probably want to.
So to go back to stock, flash back to a stock kernel, and then restore the nandroid backup.
are the steps to creating nandroid backup the same on the epic as others? I can't locate a tutorial for the epic specific

yeah its pretty self explanatory, boot into clockworkmod > backup. or you can choose backup current rom an rom manager if you use it. thats your nandroid system backup
that's just confusing. So basically, a nandroid backup is the backup creating using clockwork? lol if so, that was the first thing I did after I installed clockwork.
I did a Nandroid backup a while back on 2.1 and effed my phone, so I tried to restore and they never worked. I ended up SBFing back to stock. Did all 3 of my backups just screw up? Also, if I decide to install a custom ROM and then later want to go back to 2.2 OTA will a Nandroid do that, or will I need to SBF and then load the Nandroid?
i have a nandroid stock rom backup i did it when my phone is not yet rooted.
now i successfuly flashed hybridrom v2.1 in my phone.
my question is
1. is it ok to restore the nonrooted stockrom back up in my phone?
2. should i delete phone data ang cache before restoring the backup?
3. what cw recoverry mod i'll use in my SGY? ive found out thre are lots of ver its confusng .
i'm just new with andriod its almost a month that ive got this phone so any help from you guys is much appreciated!

1. IMHO, you should extract necessary settings or data and restore to your new rom. You can use AppExtractor
2. No need to delete everything before restoring
3. Your choice. There is touch version out there. Try and love it

Thanks for your reply i really appreciate it.
i was saying that if i wana go back to my stock rom (original rom) wich is not rooted can i restore it using CW?
if i flash back to my stock nandroid backup using CW my phone will not be rooted and it will restore the default samsung rom?
its just my theory though i haven't tried it yet i`m asking question like this for my future reference
Well...
Yes your device wont be rooted and will return to the stock rom.
Since the nandroid backup copies the whole partition. just like Norton Ghost does on the pc, so your phone will just go back to its exact status it was at that time.
You wont need to wipe user data/factory reset, because of the data partition being restored by CW.
Well you are asking for a recovery. How did you make a nan backup if you have no recovery?
Or you used the stock one? if you used the stock one, aren't you able to use it to restore?
Or do you want a new more powerful recovery?
As in the previous post they mentioned, use the one you like, with the most options

I'm considering trying out a different ROM on my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. I've done quite a bit of modifications to my stock 4.1 ROM.
I made a complete backup of my phone using TWRP recovery (both system & data backed up).
Now, if i decide that after trying someother ROMS, i decide to revert back to the stock ROM i was using, can i just restore my backup with TWRP Recovery and all my settings, apps, screens, etc. everying will be restored just like it was before i put another ROM on?
I've been very hesitant to try this for fear of needing to reconfigure everything again.
I assume everythig restores as original but i need confirmation.
Thanks.

Yes, it does....if you do a full backup...
And by the way, questions belong in the Q and A section....cheers!
E6683 (dual)
Stock Malaysia ROM (MM 305)
Rooted with rooted stock kernel
TWRP is 3.0.2.0
I've had this setup for months working nicely.
I did a full TWRP backup, tried N, didn't like it (for now) and so did a restore from the backup. Following a restore, it is stuck in Recovery! As in, when I reboot System, it just bounces back to Recovery.
I could try putting stock MM back on and then restoring, but before I do, are there any quicker tricks to getting the TWRP backup working again?
TIA

You should have switched back to MM before restoring your backup.
There are no other way around you have to switch back to THE SAME VERSION OF MM you were using during the backup.
Don't try this in the future you could brick your phone

Interesting... thank you. I would estimate I've done a TWRP restore across all phones perhaps 500 times. At a guess, I'd estimate 80% between the same version, so maybe 100 between versions. On this particular phone, this may be the first time I've tried it - I forget, I do so many. So, I'm intrigued: why? Or to put it another way: do you know what it is that TWRP fails to back up successfully or indeed restore successfully that causes this problem in the first place?
EDIT: I restored the MM stock rom (re rooted) and restored the TWRP backup and it worked fine - i'm back on MM.
