hi, new here...
i was wondering, when i'm doing a nandroid backup using CWM recovery does its backing up my current kernel and modem as well or just my current rom?
in other words, does the .zip backup file contains only the rom or the kernel and modem as well? :O
thanks.

No. CWM only backs the rom. There is an app called SGS Kernel Flasher that is "supposed" to backup your kernel, I haven't tried that function. I don't know of a way to backup a modem.
What I do. I keep a modem and kernel zip on my SD. When you restore your backup in CWM you can install both of those before you reboot without affecting the backup.

yeah, i'm using Kernel Flasher for backing up kermels, but which app lets you back up a modem?

i wouldnt recommend using ROM manager but if you have amon recovery theres a nand backup & restore for those purposes under the backup and restore tab.

Yes, just use the Amon Recovery, which you're probably using, to flash update.zip from the SD card. update.zip is put there by ROM Manager and will take you to Clockwork Mod Recovery. From there you can access the NAND backups you told it to make from ROM Manager. If you're talking about deleting old NAND backups from Recovery, not exactly, but you can mount your SD card through USB from recovery (easier in Amon RA, but can be done via an option in one of the menus in Clockwork Mod, too) and then "manage" the files from Windows.
Does this answer your question?
Okay so, after hours of searching I've resorted to starting a thread about this. I made a backup of 2.3.5 Official ROM using CWM before installing CM-7.1-Nightly116. After that, I backed up this ROM & installed MIUI. My problem starts here. I can't restore any of the backed up ROMS using Recovery Mode. It gives me a "MD5 Checksum Mismatch" error.
I'd like to add: I once restored my Official 2.3.5 for a day or so, before going to MIUI. The restore process was okay then. But now I just can't restore to either the Official ROM or the CyanogenMod 7.1 Nightly.
Same error for both: MD5 Checksum Mismatch
HELP ME OUT!
<<< EDIT >>>
Most recent backups of MIUI & CM7.1 run successfully. Only the 1st two are out of order. CWM, in general, is working fine!

Did you rename your backup? Remember not to leave any spaces
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yes. None of my backups contains spacs in the name. I just named them as: "Official_2.3.5" & "CM7.1_Nightly116"
Do you think the latest CWM update via ROM Manager caused this?

You should use the same CWM version when doing a nandroid backup and nandroid restore to avoid problems.
I dunno how my CWM got messed up.. Now everytime I backup, it just can't generate MD5 Checksums!

Boot into the recovery.
Use advanced restore. Then restore everything that appears on your screen. That would probably solve your problems.
in case you are unaware CWM4 and CWM5 are not cross compatible i.e CWM5 will not restore 4 backups
at least so I have read

Well, as title says i want to know how can i backup the kernel. I am using stock right now but i will try another one and before i flash the new i want to backup the kernel i am using for restore if something goes wrong. All replies will be appreciated.

Thanks. I thought just had to save a zip file or something.
Freeza has a thread with the stock .5 kernel. U can download that. Kernel flashing is just wiping caches and flash kernel. Or use the flash GUI app to flash the kernel for u.
There isn't any kernel with the new base that doesn't Bork something like camera.

To give some technical details around the proces, the kernel is generally stored in a partition labeled as "boot". The standard process for backing up and restoring this partition is to dump the whole partition into one file and labeled as boot.img or something similar.
The nandroid backup/restore which is standard in custom recovery's automates this process.
The .zip files which are distributed to flash kernels commonly contain either the boot.img file itself or the parts which make up a boot.img that are assembled at run time when being flashed by the custom recovery.
The .zip file part of the custom kernel that is distributed is essentially a packaging with directions telling the custom recovery how to specifically load the kernel onto the device.
The only side note which is important to mention is with the EVO 3D, and common with HTC devices, the kernel drivers for things such as WiFi are loaded separately from the kernel boot.img file. These kernel drivers are separate and are referred to as modules. They are stored in /system/lib/modules. These modules need to always match the kernel. If you were to manually backup a kernel and load a new kernel without loading the new modules for that kernel, WiFi will usually not work.
Hope that helps add some technical background to the question!
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.
In titanium backup : setting/more/create 'update.zip'
What is it? Am I right to think when I rooted my sg2 I loaded a 'update.zip' of the stock ROM, if I now create this 'update.zip' of my phone, will it restore everything (apps, data, etc etc of my phone as it currently is when the file is created?
So it's a backup of my phone in all aspects, that I can restore at anytime.
Please let me know.

Nope. The update.zip just flashes the TB app either into system/app or data/app after you flash a clean rom.

That may have been true in past but in latest versions of TB there is also an option in batch menu/recovery section for you to create a update.zip for your apps/app data which can be flashed in recovery. You will also need ZipSigner from market I think so they will work with CWM.
