If I install one of my backups from clockwork does this also install the kernel?
Simply put, no.

I've already installed the bootstrap recovery and it's working fine, however, I have a question about doing a nandroid backup. When I go to the backup/restore option, I only have 2 options. I believe the options are for the sdcard and the external sdcard. I'm not sure at the moment which one I chose at the time, but the backup files are as listed:
.android_secure.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, and system.img
It seems like I'm missing a file, such as boot.img or something else and I don't want to install a custom rom for bootstrap before I know for sure. Also, in the recovery mode, I didn't see an option to nandroid restore.
Can someone explain this?

I back up to the external sdcard it can be removed and has more free space.
Boot strap recovery is not the full CWR and doesn't back up all the system files. (I am pretty sure)

I know its not the full version of CWR but I was thinking I could do a nandroid backup like normal.
I don't really want to unlock the bootloader yet as I'm in a 4G area.

The CWM recovery in the bootstrap is an older version and does not back up the boot.img.

Thanks for your help guys. I may just unlock the bootloader and get a real version of CWM. I just hate to break my 4G.

Dear Members, is there a way to make a nandroid backup into a single zip or tar file?

Use an older version of clockwork recovery (5.5.x or touch 6.1) and they create a single zip, latest clockwork did offer an option to change the way it backups last time I checked also.

I tried to use zip from CWM but it doesn't seem to do the full nandroid backup. Any ideas?

It created the zip file and some other files in the folder, however the size is too small to be the recovery image. I doesn't create the full image. Still doesnt work. Is there a way to create a full nandroid backup into a single file with all the settings as it is done in normal cwr backup? Any help appreciated.

Just change default backup to tar then backup as normal that should work.

Creating tar recovery results in multiple files in recovery folder not a single zip file. My question was is there a way to create a single zip file that can be flashed in recovery as a custom rom.
I use the older version of cwm which creates full nandroid into 5 or so files. I then zip it into one but you have to unzip it to restore it. I don't think there is a clean way to create one full flashable nandroid with all your data and settings etc... I would also like to know if there is a way.

The same thing for me, searched for forums and no success. Thank you for your answer. Perhaps you could also know if there is any possible way to install stock samsung bootanimation on CM10 rom?

Not on CM10 they might have different locations for there boot image not sure.
In regards to the Nandroid I was just thinking about it actually and I find it quite strange as to why after ALL this time there isnt a way to create a FULL nandroid with apps,settings,themes,data.contacts, EVERYTHING all in the one file so its flashable. I mean it wouldnt be that hrd for the dev to do it as there is an option for the update zip. I really dont get it. Wouldnt everyone prefer it that way?

I fully agree, it would have been much easier for testers to get back to the rom they tuned and customized. Any ideas are always welcome.
Yes. It will be very easy to keep the backups if we could make a signal zip file. so we can name it with date and keep.
Hi,
I am currently using TWRP. I have a clockworkmod folder on my device which is rather large. I want to delete this folder and am wondering if this is safe. I don't need the backup file as I have made a new nandroid with TWRP. Do I need to uninstall cmw? (If so, how) Can I safely delete this folder?

You can only have one recovery at the same time so the fact you have twrp means that it replaced cwm. If you now have a backup of your ROM in twrp and have no interest in ever going back to cwm, then you are good to go. Delete the folder if you wish. Its perfectly safe to get rid of the folder at this point
