shall i wipe first then backup nandroid , or vice versa , i am about to install custom rom and want to know this before i start.
i am on official htc firmware at the moment
if you wipe first and then do the backup you have a backup of your wiped phone. you make the backup at a point that you want to be able to restore. you can do a wipe everytime, so why would you want to do a backup of a fresh wiped phone?

i have rooted my phone thanks to dayzee's tutorial, and i made a nandroid backup. i installed cache to sd and after having a few issues with it i had to wipe my phone. After i wiped my phone without thinking i erased everything off of my SD card, now i dont have a nandroid backup, and i was wondering if it is necessary to have a nandroid backup and if so how do i get it back. thanks
It's not vital unless you want to restore your phone to the state it was in when you made that backup.
If I need to restore a nandroid do I need to wipe/factory reset everything prior as instructed when installing new roms?
Or if I need to restore a nandroid can I just boot into cwm, go to restore nandroid, restore and go?
Is there a difference?
Just restore the nandroid. Recovery first formats all partitions and then copies the backup images. It's all automatic, so it's redundant if you format manually first and then restore.

Hey,
I wanted to flash JB eXperience™ v2 on my Sola with the locked bootloader. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38682504&postcount=173) But I want also to still have my datas and apps etc. So I think I'l have to make a backup and here we go to my questions:
Is the Sony BackUp App enough for that or will this be deleted?
Which methods are the best to backup?, I Can't use TitaniumBackup because I swapped the internal SD Card.
Is the CWM Backup and Restore thing enought or will it be also deleted? Do I have to install it again?
Thank you :good:

The CWM backup is more than enough it backup all ur ROMs Settings,Apks all
I m not earning money by helping you so if u think I gave my time so pls press thanx button
The CWM backup is a Nandroid backup which makes an image of your phone when you backup it.
It's the best backup.
By the way, you should know that only restore /data/ partition after flashing the ROM.
And wipe Dalvik Cache after restoring because the /data/ partition has /data/dalvilcache, so it might interfere with your new ROM (since that dalvik cache is of a previous date when you backed up and the ROM is just flashed).
The /data/ partition will restore everything, your homescreen settings and widgets too, Don't worry, That's how I did it and it's fine for me
Hi everyone,Before Installing WanamLite V6.0 I made a Nandroid backup. Now I want to revert to stock ROM which is the Nandroid backup I made,but wanted to know,does Nandroid Backup Also Restore MODEM? Cause I don't want modem to be restored.
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
A standard Nandroid does not.
CWM does not backup or restore the modem.
Not too sure about other recoveries though....
I'm using Official CWM 6.0.3.1! And what about folders on the internal SDCard? Cause WanamLiteV6 is Android 4.2.2 and messed up Internal SDCard with emulated/0 folder...
you should be ok.
sdcard/0 might still exist after you've restored but can be deleted....
Will try to restore then,will let you know
If you face problems going back to your nandroid try using philz recovery and completely wiping the phone before you restore. It should get rid of everything.
If I restore back up I made with CWM with it will it flash Rom too?
I mean let's say I have stock Samsung Rom then I flash the cm back will it be like flashing new cm Rom but with my apps and settings already?
Restoring android backup take your phone exactly at the moment the backup was done. Rom, kernel, apps, data, everything.

A Nandroid backup takes images of your partitions.
If you want to restore a previously made Nandroid backup, enter Recovery Mode select Restore. Everything should go back to how it was when you made the backup.
If you choose the ‘Advanced Restore’ option, you can select which component of the backup to restore – like the boot, system, data or cache.
Downloaded apps, apps and OS settings, contacts, messages are backed up in data (/data)
boot has the initrd.gz and zImage.
system has the system files (/system)
cache has the cache (/cache).
SD-ext has the ext partition
