in theory if it's the same BASE rom you should be able to just wipe dalvik and cache and restore but as always, to make sure, I recommend doing a full wipe, i've always come across some sort of problem when not completely wiping...
What they said ^
Also, do a titanium backup first, then after restoring the nandroid, restore your user apps + data so all your installed applications are up to date, but leave system apps and data as is.

does anyone have a nandroid backup of the stock rom that cam with evo 3d
If you need stock unrooted, just download the RUU.

Just an fyi...flashing a nandroid from a different phone is highly unrecommended
Why don't u just download and flash the stock ROM in the dev section?

because im unlocked with hboot 1.5 , so im afraid if i go back to stock, ill mess something up, ya know
You won't they have a stock rooted Rom in the Dev section. Besides ppl will be giving away their personal info they do that.
Not if all wiping was done, then did nandroid,i usually make a nandroid after a data wipe cuz its cleaner, so i was wondering if anyone rooted, factory reset then did nandroid....to give out to dev sectin....someone should do this with stock rom

OK, I'm having an odd issue with my phone. After flashing ICZenwich rc1.4 I decided to restore a backup I made of rc1.3. However it won't properly restore... I keep getting this in CWR...
Checking MD5 sums . . .
Erasing boot before restore . . .
Restoring boot image . . .
Restoring system . . .
Restoring data . . .
Can't mount /data!

Then the restore process stops. I've tried starting from scratch via Odin and then again attempted to restore. Nothing works. Help would be greatly, greatly, appreciated!
I had this issue several times with previous versions of ICZen...I saw an app in Xda called Nandroid Browser but i never used it...

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't really solve the issue. Luckily I frequently backup with Titanium Backup so I was able to upgrade to rc1.4 and restore. Everything seems to be working. Maybe later I'll try what dougfresh suggested and try flashing the Glitch B6 kernel and try to see if the restore works. However at the current I think I'll hold off on any nandroid backups for a while .
i tried also to restore the nandroid after flashing another kernel and still had the same issue...maybe the problem is not with the restore but the backup with the previous versions of MP kernels...
Got an idea Noob. Try to do an advanced restore and restore everything one by one except the boot.img. if it is a kernel issue then this might be a way to bypass it for now until MP or Br1ck'd gets a look at it.
Hey noob, do you remember what kernel you were on when you made the nandroid backup? I think mikka is on the right track, probably an issue with the backup itself rather than the restore operation.

The kernel that was backed up was MP's "cwm-subZero-Vibrant-1.0.1VC_build26-BFS_BLN" kernel. However it wouldn't restore even when attempting to restore after flashing the build 26 kernel. It was a very odd issue, during which I couldn't even mount nor unmount /data in CWR. However it apparently works now. Perhaps I'll start testing backups again at a later date, I've already got everything setup again anyhow. I'm again settled down with your amazing work!
PS- Working on a "Royale with Cheese" boot animation. May take some time, but it's in the works
I got the same Can't mount /data! error when trying to restore a backup after trying a build of CM10.
I just did a wipe data/factory reset, then the restore worked.
I've searched and the answer I get is that it restores the phone back to the original state of when you did the backup. My question is, if I do a nandroid backup when I'm on ROM A, can I restore when I'm on ROM B?
From reading other posts, I take it that if I restore while I'm on B, it will actually put me back on A. Is this correct?
I just hate having to set up my phone again and again after I flash a NEW ROM. I've probably wasted many hours restoring my apps and settings.
Am I understanding this correctly? Can someone enlighten me? Sorry for such a sstupid question.
When you do a nandroid backup its basically taking a snapshot of your OS, settings, call logs so on and so forth that can be restored. Flash a new ROM or soft brick your phone and as long as you can get to clockwork recovery you can restore your phone to the backup and all will be alright.
I do a backup before flashing a new ROM that way if bugs are to much to deal with or I just don't like the new ROM I can go right back to where I was before the flash

Just wipe cache dalvik and data before restoring... U can restore from any other rom. Your phone will be exactly the way it was when you did the back up. We'll not 100%, the only thing that doesn't get backed up and restored is the modem. So if the modem was giving you problems then you will have to re flash the modem that works for you.

I'm trying to flash the Santod Stock ICS, debloated, deodexed ROM onto my phone.
I'm coming from Stock GB, and I have already got S-OFF and Root with the HTC Thunderbolt All-in-one-tool.
However, I am currently confused and stuck on what to do next. The catch is that I dont get my service through Verizon, but through Mobi PCS in Hawaii which basically just offers 3G and this required me to pay someone locally to hack the phone and input manually the data settings.
Now, I notice that in the instructions for flashing this ROM is to totally wipe the partitions. Is this really necessary? Only asking because I don't want to lose the data settings and possibly have the phone not be able to have service or have to pay for the settings to be put back on.
I have already created a backup through 4ext, so I think I should be fine with that part. Is there a way for me to back up the data portion of the phone, wipe the partitions, and restore it after I flash the ROM? Besides all that, which radio should I flash first before the ROM?
I would really appreciate some help if anyone has the time.
Thanks
Since you made a nand backup in 4ext you should be OK to do a full wipe (yes you have to full wipe, data,cache and system). If something is wrong then restore your backup and you should be OK. The problem I see you having is that you will have to flash the new radios in order to flash ICS. I'm pretty sure that will mess up any settings you have for the modem which means you would have to get your phone flashed to that service again.

Got it. So the wipe is basically a full wipe? does my SD card need to be wiped too?

Nah you don't have to wipe the SD. Also, since you have to do a full wipe you can use an app called titanium backup to back up user apps and data. Make sure you don't restore system apps from gingerbread into ICS.
