any one know how i can make a backup nandroid, i wann try to make a custom lockscreen but i dont wanna get screwed if it does not work. then i will be stuck with no lock screen and i will have to install shooter again
If you're rooted and flashed a recovery, boot into recovery and do a nandroid.
Tell me what recovery you're using and I can give you a step by step (well for TWRP I can now...for CWM is have to ref my wifes EVO). Look for my post about TWRP nandroid backups in this forum for more info. Shoot for getting system, data, boot, and Wimax. Id also recommend a separate backup of just Wimax.
The steps (from memory for TWRP) are
Boot to recovery
Nandroid menu
Backup
Select the items mentioned above (I think its defaults plus Wimax)
Then backup nooaawz at the top.
Hope this helps

nandroid backups are very large for this device. nandroid backups are great to create a full system backup. you can also create individual nandroid backups per partition on twrp. creating a nandroid of the system partition should be a fairly good size.
in regards to theming and file editing, if you're looking at only making a custom lockscreen, it will save you time, effort and disk space to duplicate the files you'll be editing. i.e. if you are only going to edit a few files (as would be needed for the lockscreen), when you first adb pull those files, save a duplicate copy as the original somewhere safe. then if your edits break the file, reboot into recovery and adb push your original files back into place and you'll be set to go.

is it possible to have 2 nandroid backups? I want to have my original stock ROM saved and my current modaco one saved so I can flash the new 5.3 villain.
if so can anyone tell me the process?
thanks
lol the only limitation to the amount of nandroid backups is the size of your sdcard... and even if it is full you can move them to your pc.
ok thanks but how do I make sure when I back up using my recovery image I dint overwrite my old one? it doesn't give me an option to create a new one.

have you looked at the backup? it is named by the options, the date and the time of the backup. so unless you create two backups at the exact same time (which you can't) or you manipulate your clock (which you won't) you won't be overwriting anything...
Ive searched this forum, and general forum and even clicked the "similar threads" it suggested and i couldn't find an answer.
I have a few questions about the nandroid backups. I have successfully used nandroid, and am comfortable with the backup and restore functions..and I understand that being voodoo - that I must disable before i can nandroid restore to a non-voodoo setup..
i am using the "standard" red CWR..not the updated 3.0 orange one..
here are my questions..
1. let's say i make a nandroid backup of my 2.8 superclean voodoo that i am running now.. i go and flash MIUI and make a nandroid of that one.. can i flip flop back and forth using restore? do i need to wipe data/cache for each prior to restore? and will flip flopping back and forth cause any issues?
2. can i use any of the system tools (super manager/astro/ect..) and/or via SD connection to computer to rename my nandroid backups so i can differentiate between them better, rather than just having it named the date of the backup? if i rename it will it bork the file so it wont load when flashing a recovery?
3. some ROM's come with kernels attached..does the CWM note this and reflash kernels those possibly different kernels upon recovery since a specific kernel is running at the time of the backup?
thank you!

I can tell you nandroid doesn't flash kernels, you'd have to keep track of that manually if you use different kernel with each rom.
Depending on framework, and various other things I would imagine there's room for the two nandroids to interfere with each other but that's just my guessing, and I'm not very sure.

I would recommend wiping in between each restore. As long as the ROMs are both compatible with the kernel you're running, there shouldn't be an issue.

Yes. All the backup name is is a folder where the backup data is stored. It can be renamed to whatever you want.

So I got a replacement Vibrant from T-mo. I already rooted it, and now I am trying to figure out the easiest way to trasnser everything from my old phone (running Bionix, a 2.2 rom) to the new phone which is running JI6 2.1.
I already rooted and installed clockwork on the replacement. Can I just make a nandoid backup on the old phone, running bionix, and transer that nandroid backup to the new replacement phone running stock 2.1 and do a nandroid restore?
If I remember correctly, nandroid does not backup/restore the kernel...So should I just flash a 2.2 kernel on the new phone, then while still in recovery restore the nandroid backup from the old phone?
This seems like the easiest way to get the new replacement running like the old one.
Any help is appreciated
Edit- also, if I restore the nandroid, it should do my photos and videos too?
Yes. Just move your backup folder with the saved file into your clockwork mod folder inside your phone then you can run restore your old settings.
Thanks for the response. Regarding the kernel from current 2.1 and doing a nandroid restore to 2.2, do I need to flash a 2.2 kernel before the nandroid restore?

Nandroid does not restore your kernel. I would dl your kernel, put it in root of your sd,. Put the nandroid on the sdcard. Reboot into recovery, wipe, restore nandroid, clear cache, fix permissions, flash kernel. Reboot, let phone sit for 10mins, reboot, use as normal.
Edit.
Nandroid will only restore system, apps and app data. Pics and personal address content will not be included. For a full transfer you will need to copy your entire old sdcard to the new one... on the old phone - make Nandroid, copy entire sdcard to new phone, add kernel to the new sdcard and follow instructions above.
I tried copying my pics over and it made a folder in gallery with like 2100 thumbnails... I only have about 200 pics... its weird, looks like it just keeps repeating the pics over and over
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
That is strange. Did you copy the old sdcard to your computer first, do you still have a copy there, What does the backup folder contain?
Or it might be quicker just to mount the new sdcard, nuke the thumbnails and be done with it.
Can anyone advice me on what can be done if anything?. I have a S3 LTE Gt-I9305 I installed Titanium Pro and CWM. Did back ups on both and then decided to only keep CWM and promply went on to flash my ROM. It looks like the Ripper ROM has loaded but the touch screen won’t work visually it works fine but to unlock the screen, nothing happens. What could be the cause?. Secondly is there any way to re install titanium back on the phone as I have titanium backup files and hope that will restore the phone back to normal. Any advice???.
CWM & Titanium Back backups are two different things. CWM does a nandroid backup which includes your complete phone setup at the time of backing up. Titanium only backs up apps (user & system) & data.
Hence if you want to return to your old phone's setup you have to use your CWM backup.
Maybe read some of the guides in the FAQ thread to get up to speed on flashing, backups etc. first before you move on!

Thanks!. I know they two different thngs, hence me asking if there is any way of restoring Titanium back onto the phone, as I think the reason the touch screen on my phone may not be working because there could be a system file missing which CWM has not backed up. And CWM won't restore Titanium files or not that I am aware of.

Sure you can restore from Titanium, but I guess a safer bet in your case would be to do a factory wipe and flash a stock ROM. Easier and cleaner way as CWM usually backups any file, would be strange if it misses a few.
anyone know how to restore just the SMS data history from Nandroid backup?

Mmm.... Thats the problem I have done a factroy wipe and flashed a stock ROM didn't seem to help. Not even too sure i might have even accsedentally deleted a file from the phone when it was connected to my pc. and without the screen working I don't know that I can re load Titanium as the screen touch pad won't work.

even if you deleted a file, you should be able to flash a stock ROM via Odin in Download Mode (as far as the hardware buttons still work).
If you really flashed a stock ROM already, you could still try to flash your nandroid via CWM (should also support navigation via hardware buttons or not?), and if this doesn't work I am out of options :-/

Yes, I already installed Nandroid manager but i don't know where to look for it.
Is this the right one /data/data/com.android.mms
IIRC it has the option to restore SMS
Hi! I have a Leeco Le Max 2 X829, and as there aren´t any official stock ROM I wanna save a 100% stock Backup of my X829 with 16S USA ROM. I mean ROM + Recovery, just as it is unpacked(without downloaded Apps and my data).
Could I make it booting in temporaly TWRP with fastboot and doing NAND backup choosing:
- Boot
- Recovery
- System
- Data...
Any other option? All options that TWRP show? thanks!
Yes. EFS too
Turn on phone with power+volume keys.
Fastboot boot TWRP.img

One more thing... I Will be in a booted Recovery, so original Recovery is going to be still, then the one saved in the backup Will be the booted one ore the stock one? Thanks!
If you just want a factory setup without your apps and data I would say just backup the system image in twrp, backing up data definitely uncheck .
Only system is bit to less...
I would keep the us version.
eUI is not that bad and until we all get the update to android 7 ... it s probably the best and most stable rom running.
Why change it, when the other opportunities are leading to an less smooth running phone ?
To me all the cooked roms have disadvantages.
I need to have a fully working phone/ camera /fingerprint sensor...
without option to go back to the US rom I wouldn't change a thing!

Don't listen to them. Back up everything. Who cares about a few space? Besides data is probably empty or with a few stock tools. Just backup all for your complete image. EFS contains IMEI and other stuff. It is important to have it. You can Back up everything, and then move it to a computer or somewhere else
It will have stock recovery backed up to TWRP and it's better if you backup as image, that way it saves the partition structures too.
Only first backup as image,to have perfect copy, the next backups you do is better do them as normal backups compressed (not image).

Hi, I have done and it made a lot of .win archives, is that right? thanks
Yes those are md5 or Sha sums, drag the whole TWRP folder to computer and you are good to go, don't change any name of any folder inside TWRP folder or TWRP will never detect that backup.
I don't know why but once I copied all except 73shf38 folder, and it turned out that folder with those numbers matter, and I couldn't restore without the exact name
