this nandroid backup every talks about, is it a app or something else? sorry for the dumb questions just trying to get back into this stuff....
A nandroid is a backup of your system. It can be done via an application called rom manager in the market or via clock work recovery.

Its worth noting that you have to be rooted with s-off to do a nandroid backup, and that for Rom Manager to work you have to flash Clockwork mod recovery. I would also advise just booting into Clockwork Mod Recovery to perform backups, restores, flashing .zips, etc....Rom Manager has a bad history of causing trouble for one reason or another.

I tried upgrading my girlfriend's Vibrant to one of the new 2.2 ROMs and she didn't like it, so I disabled voodoo, booted into recovery and attempted to restore the backup I made in nandroid. After 30 minutes of hanging on 'restoring data', I gave up and tried to reboot. Phone is now stuck in the vibrant logo and will not boot into recovery. Tried pulling the battery and it just reboots back to the Vibrant logo.
I know there is a way to fix this with something called Odin? (not sure if that's the name). My only problem is I don't want to delete any of her non-restorable stuff. Is there any way to fix this without deleting anything that can't be restored? Also, any idea why the nandroid backup didn't work? I'm afraid that even if I can get back into recovery, the restore will just freeze again.
I did notice when it was wiping to install the ROM originally, it also froze on deleting data, but a reboot fixed that. So maybe a reboot will fix that too but I'm not sure. Any help?
do you reboot when you have disabled voodoo and hear linda say 'convertion successful' ? sometime it will not work proper if you disable and flash something without reboot

I made this same mistake the first time I flashed. What it is, its that nandroid does not backup the kernel, so you have to flash one with the same version of android. At this point you will have to use odin to do it then once you have you can do a nandroid restore.

Post in the right forum and you will get the answer to how to fix it.
Moved to Q&A as not development
look at the bright side... at least ur Vibrant isnt stuck on the Captivate screen....
I'm sorry about posting in the wrong forum, honest mistake but it won't happen again. Can someone exolain to me what I need to do, in order, to fix this? I need to use odin, then flash a 2.1 kernel, then run nandroid restore? Which 2.1 kernel should I use?
Hello have file nandroid backup make with new recovery? , my razr is in state of soft brick, give to me file nandroid backup for restart my cell phone? Pleaseeee!!
Whhaaaaa? Unless the Motorola android recovery is something completely different than anything I've ever used....you have to have made your own nandroid. You cannot use a nandroid from another phone
Edit: google translate may help, as well.

I have nandroid backup saved from bootstrap recovery. But the recovery is an app that you need to boot the phone to get into recovery. Plus I've got all my information stored in the backup so... >.<
The OP is something else lol. Three to four different threads screaming for help because he bricked his own phone out of stupidity.
Hey guys,
I had my old Evo, and had it rooted, not through HTC's bootloader, sadly that phone broke and I had to get a new one. well I had it backed up with Clockwork and I want to restore my old Rom. I did the process of unlocking and rooting the phone here being it was on Hboot 1.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
But now every time I try to restore the Backup in Clockwork I get sent to TWRP and can't seem to recover the back up there. Anyway to do this or to remove TWRP and put back the recovery process that my old Rooted Evo 3d had?

CWM and TWRP use different naming conventions for their backups.
If you created a backup in CWM, would be easiest to restore using CWM.
When restoring a backup from a different devices, I would suggest ONLY restoring, data, system and boot partitions.
Keep in mind some devices can have hardware variations between versions and on occasion these can impact restoring an "older" ROM from a previous device to a newer device.
Hope that helps!

How do I force it to use CWM. I open it up, try to restore it and it restarts my phone in TWRP.
You might need to use fastboot to make CWM work. I haven't had success using any other method with hboot 1.5. I've had the same experience as others with only CWM 4.0.1.4 and 5.8.0.1 working via fastboot. Instructions I used:

Not trying to hijack this thread but I don't want to make a new thread for this noob question.... How do I know which hw version I have? On evo4g it says it right on the hboot screen, but I can't see it on the 3d. Thanks.
Edit...found it.

Restoring a backup from CMW to a different phone is a bad idea. If you do, DO NOT RESTORE WIMAX PARTITIONS or you will lose 4g. I would just start over as it would be the safest.

Agreed, what you should do when switching phones is to backup with titanium backup, I find it to work better because I backs up the apk and the data for it opposed to CWR or TWRP which actually grab a snapshot of the partitions and recover from it.

I think, You have TWRP flashed to your phone, and you havent flashed CWM yet. You are just booting CWM using fastboot. So, when the recovery restarts you get to TWRP.
Instead of using "fastboot boot *.img" use "fastboot flash recovery *.img" then use "fasboot boot *.img". Then try once again and check if it works......
I am used to making backups and restoring with CWR on my EVO but now that I have the Rezound and CWR does not work, I make Nandroid backups with Amon-ra but am not able to restore them. I read somewhere that some things need to checked while on recovery mode but I am not sure what. What do I need to do to make a proper Nandroid Backup? And also do I need to flash anything else after I restore a backup?
If restoring an ics build coming from ics(or gb to gb) no additional flashing should be needed. Should only be needing to backup system data cache and boot. If you do s-off exploit, you can restore boot.IMG directly through the nandroid.

I know for sure it works with amon ra. Flash it in recovery, I think it boots automatically afterwards into bootloader, flash the image, reboot and it will go back into recovery on its own then flash your nandroid. Then all should be well. Just flashing nandroid will not allow the phone to boot

I've restored several times through Amon Ra backups. I back up the usual stuff and the Android secure file. So far no problems at all.
I recieved my CLNR from verizon yesterday. Made a nandroid last night.
Today I have unlocked, rooted and now I am trying to restore my nandroid.
This is what it looks like:
x boot
x system
x data
x cache
recovery
sd-ext
x android_secure
android_secure_internalsd
perform restore
return
I hit perform restore and this is what happens
oops....something went wrong. Please check the recovery log!
What does that mean and where do I go from here?
Thanks
Heather

Same here. I switched to TWRP and no issues thus far.
Do any of you guys have the recovery log you could post. Might shed some light on the issue.

Hi
Since a few weeks my phone turnes itself off accidentally, during any operation or just lying lazy on the desk. I had ARHD 6.5 since 6 months or so and I replaced it with 6.7 like 3 days ago, hoping this will solve the problem but it didn't. So I wanna try the stock rom and see whether it helps or not, and if it won't I'll send it to rma. My question is how to recover original soft from nandroid backup, cause I tried and got stuck with bootloop. Do I have to recover the old firmware as well? I found some thread on how to remove clockwork and root, put the phone back S-ON and so on but I would have to recover stock rom first, right? I know I can also flash the stock rom, but the only one I found is not matching perfectly my original one, so I would rather get it back from backup. This phone is just so freaking annoying...
Thanks in advance
You have to boot into custom recovery, be it clockworkmod or another one, then go into "backups and recovery", and from there, restore from backup, then you have to choose your nandroid backup, provided that you have performed it, and select restore (all).
That's it, good luck.

I've done it already but as I wrote before I ended up in bootloop. I think it might be caused by firmware which I flashed in order to install ARHD (Firmware from 3.33.401.6 & 3.33.401.106 RUU). But I don't have any info about the version of previous FW and don't really know if this is the issue.
Anyone? Please have mercy, I'm getting killed by this phone. Help
