Hi, I'm currently using the latest ClockworkMod as my recovery. I've never had any problem with it (had it on my og evo as well), but I'm hearing a lot of great things about twrp recovery, so I'd like to make the switch. I'm all clear on most of the process, but is it correct that I'll need to make new nandroid backups? If so, should I delete my cwm nands? How would I go about doing that? And am I correct that I'd need to revert to my stock (first) nandroid, flash the new recovery from there, make a new twrp nandroid, and then go back to cm7? Just want to be sure, as I know that nandroids are a lifeline and I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks in advance!

no, you can just make a nand with the new recovery of your current setup, no need to revert

Sounds good. What to do though if I need to ever go back to stock rom? (Unlikely anyhow). Will I be able to find a stock rooted rom in the dev forums?

For those people who have mistakenly :
deleted their o1 original Nand backup
or
forgot to do so
or
For whatever reason they need it, here is a copy of Nand backup.
It's a Nand backup of factory reset original rom. So doesn't contain my private data.
Somehow if you find anything private, do report me.

I believe if you restore this, you will remain rooted. I had rooted through z4root. Your recovery will also be intact. After restoring you can try to unroot if you wish via z4root.

Thanks for the upload..I wanna give a try to stock rom, hvnt used it as flashed rom as soon as I opened the box.
Dude i got an nice idea.....we should flash roms and kernel....make their backup.....and upload to side.....it is a gud way....rite? as some people have problems eg.me .....wen i flash fransisco kernel i cannot turn on mass storage....so if anyone has same rom with francos kernel den he must upload it and i can download and enjoy so howz d idea?
Thats an awesome idea up there... all the brainy guys can do the work and provide us the backups and the not-so-brainy ones like myself can simply use tat! Wud make the whole process a lotttt more easier!

How to restore this thru amonra? I place it inside nandroid folder, when i select ORIG-CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP, it shows all the files inside it not restoring.
[Q]-I have to unzip CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP.zip right? I miss stockrom.
Are these just the contents of the NAND backup zipped or was this created through a separate tool?
On a different but slightly similar note, does anyone have a link to the V10G stock ROM that can be flashed via KDZ?

Yeah. Unzip it. You will have a folder named "CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP".
Put this folder under sdcard/nandroid/mem=471M
Then you can go to recovery and do the usual thing.

This nand backup can be restored only via amonra. So flash amonra first.

This is flashable with Clockwork. All you have to do is rebuild this as a "rom" from the kitchen.
This, of course, takes a little more time than flashing another recovery image. It's just that I feel uncomfortable with flashing and reflashing something so important (recoveries).
could anyone give me baltics nand ?
Hi guys!
Sorry if this already has posted but i couldnt find.
We just love to flash, update roms but sometimes we forget the essential and wanna go back.
So my question is: is there a way to backup and save from a original stock Atrix, things like pds, kernel, webtop, do a whole full backup of everything?
You mean like a Nandroid backup?...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
if you do a nandroid backup from cwm or rom manager it will back up everything on your current rom.
Thanks a lot for your attentio guys!
Doing these backup, even system unique files like pds, kernel, webtop, boot?
yes, its kinda like a ghost backup for a pc. it takes an image more or less.

It makes an image of your current phone setup that you can come back to like if you get stuck, or if you want to come back from another ROM...

Thanks a lot guys! But to use CWM or Rom manager i will have to unlock my boot, so i was wondering if there is a way to do this keeping Atrix untouchable and with this backup?

I think nandroid backup requires root and if you want to flash another rom you'll have to unlock the phone.

I made a backup of my HTC EVO LTE Stock ROM in TWRP, I flashed CMX, now I want to go back to Stock, so I went to TWRP>Install, I can see my backup folder under /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/name of backup.. but I when I select the folder it does not give me the option to Install it. It just opens as an empty folder. I did notice the folder is not in a .zip format. Is this the reason why? Did I miss something during the back up process? And if so, how can I fix it? Is it as easy as just converting the regular folder into a .zip folder then try to install it this way?.. Please tell me not everything is lost, lol.. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There should be a restore option on the main screen in twrp recovery. If you hit that it will allow you to choose what file you want to restore

Seconded. Choose "restore" to restore nandroid backups.

Need to Restore But Getting Black Screen
Okay so my situation is similiar to the OP.
I was running CM10 then a custom sense Rom.
I made an original backup, but when I restore it I get a black screen at boot.
Typically when I flash a Rom I have to fastboot flash the boot.img which is no biggie, but there's no boot.img that I can find in the twrp backup.
Might be just as easy to flash a stock Rom, but not sure exactly where to find one. Everything I've found is rooted or custom in some way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The ROM I'm trying to restore is the original state of my phone. Would this be a stock ROM with a versioning date of October 28th(the day I got my phone and made the backup), current stock ROMs, or launch stock ROMs. Basically will any boot.img work from a stock ROM?
I do see the boot sector being written during the restore process. There is a boot.something.win file in the backup folder for the backup. Can this be fastbooted? I'm a bit timid to try that, but thinking it may be worth a shot...

Thanks for the quick reply, QuickWizard is very fitting. I actually got it after I finished going my own route though.
I grew a pair and went with my got and I went ahead and flashed the boot.emmc.win from the twrp backup in flashboot. It successfully got me booted and logged into the phone. That said the stock rom is so crappy...
But, I was having issues on CM10 with MHL, on a "stock rom with goodies" I was having radio issues with the latest firmawares, so now it's back to my rooted stock backup and I'm doing the HTC System OTA update... Should be interesting what happens next...
Again thank you all with the quick replies!
Do I need to restore the ROM I made my nandriod from first? Or can I restore my previous nandriod off any ROM I'm currently using?
I'm sure this has had to been asked before, but maybe I'm using the xda search wrong.

Just wipe in Aron Ra and then restore from your nandroid. I commonly jump from Rom to Rom, just make sure you wipe in between.
Yupyup your nandroid reverts you to whatever that particular nandroid saved..

Thanks guys. I'm not sure what is wrong with my phone. Clean ROM 4.3 was the only one that would work for me, until this morning. I finally got RAGE1.8 to work. All other ROMs would boot loop, including all Clean ROMs after 4.3. I had been reinstalling Clean ROM and then restoring the nandriod, I'm glad I can skip one step if I need to go back.
Make sure you wipe before you restore a nandroid. If you don't it could cause it to bootloop.
Also if you're s on it could be an issue with kernel compatibility
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I am S on. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought loading the PH98IMG file in the bootloader was loading the kernel.
First, you really should S-Off, it will make it a whole lot easier, it will allow you to jump from Rom to Rom a lot easier. Be careful because some new roms call for the latest firmware to run correctly.

Is it safe to assume that a backup done with TWRP will not work with CWM?
Also, on the developer page, it says to use one recovery vs another. Is this mandatory or it just the developer's personal preference?
The reason I ask is that when I first rooted my phone I flashed TWRP and did a back up. Then, to get this other ROM on my phone, it was said to use CWM, which I flashed in place of TWRP. If I wanted to go back to my original backup, would I need to reflash TWRP so that I could restore that back up?
Thanks in advance.
