Hey everyone!
Just got my phone back from repairs since I received the white light of death. I noticed a lot of people here looking for a Rogers Nandroid so I decided to upload mine.
Features:
Stock Rogers Rom Version: 2.3.5
Rooted using SuperOneClick (Zergrush)
CWM on Boot
Updated SU Binaries
*EDIT
New Instructions for Restoring
After you download and extract the folder, change the folder name from Rogers Stock to any other name without a space! - This will ensure you donot get the MD5 Mismatch error when restoring the backup!
[*]The renamed folder needs to placed in "/sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/<here> ". sdcard-ext is referring to your external sd card. If you don't have one then your clockwork recovery folder should be in your internal sd card so it should be placed there instead.
After restoring, Please do a data+cache+dalvik wipe or a factory wipe from settings in order to wipe any of the settings left from my backup.

Tips:
If your phone is stuck in AP/Fastboot mode and you want to restore to Rogers ROM
Download RSDLite and either the Retail.BR/Vivo LATAM fastboot files from the development section.
Restore your phone to working state by using RSDLite.
Root and install CWM on boot.
Finally, boot into CWM and restore Nandroid in order to return to Rogers Stock.
If you have ever used a RetailBR/Vivo fastboot on your RAZR, you will be able to restore this backup but you won't be able to receive the 2.3.6 Rogers OTA. In that situation, you're better off using the 2.3.6 RetailBR fastboot from the developers section and restore that using RSDLite. Do not restore this backup over the 2.3.6 fastboot as this backup is 2.3.5!

Thank you, this is very useful
will this work for rogers in wpg? And the reason im wanting to use this is cause i messed up my contacts deleting crap (yahoo crap i believe) and will this fix it?
Thanks.

Yes. It should work fine for any Rogers Razr. You should be able to boot into CWM and restore. Make sure you don't have any SU backups using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper as I believe it does break the Nandroid Restore.
Will this fix my contacts force close problem from removing yahoo? It would be great if it does!
Thanks heaps!
Did you just freeze or did you uninstall a system app? If its just a freeze, then you'll have to unfreeze the app in order to fix the force close. If its an uninstall then yes this should restore all the apk's back to your phone as they come out of the box.
THANK YOU DUDE!
its not a fastboot, but it should works the same, right? i have safestrap installed might try this out...

Np, and yes it should work. In the odd case it goes wrong, you'll have to use the RetailBr/Vivo fastboot and restore using RSDLite since those are the only two that can be flashed onto the Rogers xt910.
Quick question....
Whst do you use to flash this? Bootstrap? Which version?
Coz i just realzed gsm phones doesn't work with safestrap...
Yep bootstrap is the way to go. You should install bootstrap and then cwm on boot. Make sure you copy my backup to the clockwork recovery folder on your external sdcard, go to backup/restore and then select it and let it restore. If you want your user data to stay, i believe you can go into advanced and do a /system restore only.
Also make a backup of your current one before you try this incase you encounter any errors and cant restore my nandroid.

So bootstrap really works only owith extrnal sdcard, huh? I installed it last night n I can't make a backup coz it cant mount sdcard lol...
Guess I'll stop by Canada computers tmrw!

PS: 3am reply? From Toronto? Nice
You can use internal sdcard as well however its not really suggested. I believe under mounts and storage you can go and mount the other card.
Thanks for the Rogers' backup, dude! I wish they would release ICS or 2.3.6 at least

tried doin this but gives me MD5 mismatch
Sorry I forgot to check up on the thread. You can bypass the MD5 mismatch by renaming the folder and removing the space in the folder name and it should flash perfectly.
Thank you for putting this up I just have a question if there is anyway that I can use this to restore a bricked phone. I can't go beyond AP fastboot
No you cannot use this as a fastboot however you can use the Retail.BR fastboot flash that to get phone working. Then root/install CWM and restore this nandroid in order to get back to stock Rogers state.
hey Evon, another quick question:
dont u need to unroot to get official Rogers OTA with your Nandroid?
I'm not sure about OTA's. I believe you can still be rooted and receive OTA's however you must be on the stock Rogers Rom in order to receive the Rogers OTA. I could be wrong since there has not been any OTA so far from Rogers so we'll have to wait and see.

I just had a couple of questions about the whole ROMS and how to install them. I have my Vibrant rooted but I'm still not 100% sure how to root. What I looked up online is the following:
1-Use ROM manager to download recover image.
2-Download ROM and save it on the SD.
3-Boot into recovery (1st question can I boot into recovery through ROM manager or do I have to do it the manual way?)
4-Select option reinstall packages which take you to the ClockWork Recovery
5-Wipe date from phone (2nd question I've heard about NANDROID back ups but what exactly are they and what do they do? If i make a nandroid back up then wipe will I still be able to restore my phone to its previous condition through this back up?
6-install .zip from SD and Voila you have ROM.
So aside from the two obvious questions I just want to know if I have the correct steps?
The help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

1) Yes Rom Manager will let you boot directly into clockwork recovery.
2) Yes Nandroid will make a complete backup of your phone software and apps installed, so when you restore a backup it will be the same as when you backed it up.
3) Make your nandroid before wiping anything! Other wise your steps are ok.
Awesome!! And I can make the nandroid back up from clock work right? Also can I move the back up to like a usb or do I have to keep it on the phone?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, you use clockwork to make the nandroid bakup. And if you like you can store the backup on your USB drive. Just copy the folder over and you will be all good. You only have to have the backup on the phone if you intend to restore a backup.
Whats great about Clockwork and Nandroid which works well with Clockwork is I have my stock rom all the way to my current. I just keep making backups and I restore if I want to compare. I have the following on my phone.
Stock
Vibrant4
Vibrant5
Vibrant6
Vibrant7
When I get a Rom just the way I like it I make a backup of it so if/when I have to leave it and possibly come back to it I just flash it. Also I would recommend Titanium Backup so you can backup your apps and reload them even if you go back on a rom. Makes reloading settings easier in your apps too.
Ok, so I just made a back up using rom mangers back up rom feature, am I supposed to specifically look for something that says "nandroid"?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You will only see "nandroid" if you boot your phone into clockwork recovery.
And, no, you don't specifically need to look for it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't you want to keep your backup somewhere NOT on the phone? Because if you brick your phone, or corrupt it or something, wouldn't you have a tough time restoring with your backup file? I don't really get it.
Well I've done it I tried out Eugenes Vibrant Hybrid ROM and it was nice but I'll just wait for something else later on. my only question is once you install a ROM i would have had to DL all my apps again which is gay...
anyway i used Rom manager to create my back up of my stock build after playing with Eugene's ROM for a bit I restored my back up like a G.
I LOVE ANDROID!!!

Nice work. I'm not quite there yet. So, you used ROM manager to restore to your nandroid backup?
Also, I think a lot of people use titanium back-up to back up all their apps.
Dang...

Yeah, I loaded Eugene's ROM and played around with out a bit, then I downloaded rom manager from the market and restored the back up I saved on my sd. It was quick and painless.

1. Make a nandroid backup using clockworkrecoverymod.
2. Copy the entire backup directory to your PC for "just in case" scenarios.
3. Make a backup of your user installed apps using Titanium backup, and copy it over to your PC.
4. Download the ROM (i.e. Eugene's Vibrant9.zip) to your internal SD card.
5. Boot into clockworkrecovery (I use ROM Manager for that)
6. Install ROM.zip from SD card
7. Reboot into normal boot.
8. Verify the basic functionality of the phone, and make sure your satisfaction level goes a notch up.
9. Download Titanium backup from the market and install it.
10. Restore Titanium backup.
11. Crack a beer, enjoy your accomplishments, and DO NOT ask when CM6 comes rolling around

In regards to titanium backup... do you need the DONATE version to restore the apps properly. OR will they restore with all our data, but just not link the market? Thanks in advance!
Any way to get into clockwork recovery without rom manager or if the phone isn't booting up at all? I guess I could always leave an update.zip of clockwork mod on the phone. Is that what everyone else does?

I have a paid version, I don't think you would need the full version to properly restore the backup. I used it once to flash a different ROM, and I didn't have to re-purchase Titanium Backup again, I don't believe so.
Well every one tells me that the paid version of titanium is better because it updates your apps straight from the market or something like that. I just downloaded the paid version so I'll let you know how that works out.

You can also pack the backed up user apps into update.zip and re-install the packages from the recovery, so no need to re-download the Titanium Backup, it should be there once you re-install packages from the recovery after booting into your new ROM.
So I tried to restore my phone multiple times from two different recoveries and every time it stops during it and the screen goes black and the only way to turn my phone on is to pull the battery. Everything but the .android-secure restores and I now have about 200 hundred apps that aren't installed on my phone and I don't want to have to go through all that again, the apps still show as installed on my phone, but the the data on my SD card is missing, does anyone know how I can get this back?
Did you actually wipe your.android_secure folder?
Sent.
No, I never wiped it. After I restored my phone it was empty
Did you ever try to move 200?? apps to sd?
Sent.
Yes all the apps were on my SD card already. But they were moved over one by one so it wasn't a major hassle. I tried doing it through TWRP now and it won't restore at all anything that is.

Is your Sdcard partitioned, and, if so, are you running a ROM that supports A2SD?
Sent.
No I never did a superwipe or anything of the sort, I didn't have any Titanium Backups either, never planned on flashing a new ROM, still haven't. The backup was through CWM the newest update 4.0.1.5 I tried restoring through that and the Revolutionary 4.0.1.4, neither worked. I moved all the recovery files over to TWRPs backup location and they none of the partitions would restore. My SD is not partitioned and I'm on a rooted stock ROM. I'm only talking about regular App2SD apps that are supported by Android, like Angry Birds and Google Earth.

Those go straight to your secure folder. I don't ever use CWM, as a rule, but it seems that somehow your CWM Nandroid didn't include that folder...I don't know how it got wiped, but my guess is that whatever rom you flashed included a Superwipe script,which would've wiped that folder. (another thing I don't use-Superwipe) If you go in with root explorer or whatever file manager, you can manually verify that a) your secure folder is empty (which it sounds like you've done), and also check under your /clockworkmod recovery folders to see if you actually have a backup for the secure folder.
If it's not there, then, unfortunately it's lost.. You can get the apps back from the market, though.. PM me if you have any 'hard to come by' apps you might need that don't show up on the market.
Good luck.

I never flashed a ROM. . . at all. There was definitely no super wipe. My CWM folder has the .android-secure.IMG, I just want to find a way to get this readded. Thanks for the help

OK so what recovery did you make the backup? I don't think TWRP backup work in CWM. Also, you don't even NEED to restore the .img you're talking about. You can restore boot, system, data, and it should boot. If you need your apps back, download them. Then back them up with titanium backup. Koushik can be found in #cyanogenmod-dev on freenode, but I don't think you need to bug him. It sounds like your phone boots right? If you need more help come into our d3rp thread, linked in my sig.
Thanks, yeah I decided to just reset my phone anyway, to fix the black screen of death and everything. Just sucks I can't remember what all my apps were and I'm like a hundred short now
Hello, I always find the people on this corner of xda very helpful. As usual, I think I know what I'm doing, but I'd like to check that I am proceeding in the right direction.
I've been using Mik's Cyanogen ROMs on my Optimus One. That's going well. But I need to SIM unlock my phone and I need to go back to a stock ROM to input the codes (please let me know if this is incorrect).
Before installing Mik's ROM, I performed a Nand backup. I have boot, cache, data, recovery and system img files. I think I can flash these through recovery and I should be back to stock.
Do I lose my apps and settings by doing this? Do I need to clear any caches?
What about returning to Cyanogen after I unlock my phone... Do I have to root my phone again or will I still be able to flash using recovery?
Using Clockwork, I just backed up my current ROM. I assume I will be able to restore from this later.
Is there anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks for answering my questions / clearing up my confusion.

to revert back to stock, you must wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache. you will lose your settings. as for your apps, you can back them up with titanium backup and restore them after you have restored your backup.
What about returning to Cyanogen after I unlock my phone... Do I have to root my phone again or will I still be able to flash using recovery?
when you restore your backup of the stock rom, you will still have root. i dont think unlocking your phone will cause you to lose root. your root access and custom recovery will still be intact
Using Clockwork, I just backed up my current ROM. I assume I will be able to restore from this later.
yes this is true
Is there anything else I should be aware of?
just to be on the safe side, please list the steps you are going to follow
Thanks for answering my questions / clearing up my confusion.
Thanks for the quick answer...
I on my sd card, I have a /clockwork directory with two subdirs. One is my original backup that I made before first installing Cyanogen. The other is the one I just made. Both contain boot, cache, data, recovery and system img files. The difference is that with my new backup the image files have an extra yaffs2 suffix: cache.img (stock) but cache.yaffs2.img (Cyanogen). Any problem here?
1. boot into recovery
2. restore stock from my sdcard using nandroid and wipe caches as you indicated
3. reboot, enter unlock code
4. reboot into recovery
5. restore current ROM from my sdcard using nandroid and again wipe the same caches
6. reinstall / restore apps (I'm not using Titanium, instead I backed up the list of installed apps)
Will I need to find and reinstall the GoogleApps (Market, etc) or will they come with the backup of my current ROM?
Pretty simple really. This make sense?

there might be a problem. what clockworkmod version did you use to make the backup of the stock rom? if i remember correctly, using cwm 3.x.x.x backs up a certain way (and also does not have the yaffs2 suffix) and using cwm 5.x.x.x backs up a different way (with the yaffs2 suffix) so backups may not be "inter"compatible (more info on that here). however, you can just flash back cwm 3.x.x.x right now (you can do it using rom manager), restore your stock rom backup, do the following steps, flash back cwm 5.x.x.x, then restore your backup
1. boot into recovery
2. restore stock from my sdcard using nandroid and wipe caches as you indicated (i recommend wipe first then restore)
3. reboot, enter unlock code
4. reboot into recovery
5. restore current ROM from my sdcard using nandroid and again wipe the same caches
(same here again, wipe first then restore)
6. reinstall / restore apps (I'm not using Titanium, instead I backed up the list of installed apps)

i think you will have to flash gapps again

I followed your instructions (I downgraded Clockwork before starting) and the 10-20% chance of you being wrong came true... but in a good way
Restoring from the backup brings everything back: apps, settings, contacts, SMSs etc. So it was actually even easier than you suggested since I didn't have to use my backups at all.
Thanks again for the tips!

Yes... when I was back in stock I could access the unlock menu by entering 2945*#500# on my keypad. The SIM unlock code that I have worked fine. I haven't actually tested with another SIM card but the phone claimed to have been unlocked, so I should be good to go.
I recently decided to try MROM (I currently have CM7) so I backed up my current ROM and installed MROM. When I tried to check if I could restore my previous ROM, ROM Manager did not list my latest backups, but instead, listed some really old backups. I checked the clockworkmod folder to see if the latest backups were there and they were. Now, for some reason, ROM Manager was looking in the emmc folder, and not the sdcard (where the latest backups were) and I don't know if there's a way to change where it looks for the backups. I changed the settings to use an external sdcard (I don't know if that would help but I tried) and it didn't help. I then booted into recovery and tried the restore option there and I was able to see my latest backups.
I'm not sure why ROM Manager was unable to see them but booting in recovery worked fine. I want to try MROM (and I know I can restore from the recovery console if I really have to) but I just want to understand why this was happening and if there was another way to restore my backups (ROM Manager saves backups in ext3.tar format and I don't know how to use that with adb).
Don't bother with rom manager. I always get rid of it on every cm rom I try. Its pointless. Your recovery works and its a better option IMO.
Thanks! I would still like to know what's going wrong though, if possible, and also if there's a way to restore a backup saved in ext3.tar format using adb.

Hard to tell. You may never find out. ROM Manager can indeed be weird like that, and is in my opinion unreliable.

The backup is a regular TAR archive (as the name suggests). Most recoveries contain the tar tool which you can use to restore the backup.

i flash another rom and next do another backup of new rom , and when i restore this new one restore is complete.
but old one i want always the same problem
maybe problemn is in folder clocworkmod
because in old one i have more files like for example data.ext4.tar.g
please some ideas?
maybe i dont have enough space to bring back backup(restore)?
my backup have 8 gb
You could try advanced restore and specify the part of the backup you want to restore, on cwm. My reasoning is that since the md5sum check completes, the integrity of your back up is verified, so that's to mean that all should work just fine. But since it doesn't go past the data restoration, maybe you could try restoring just the data part of the backup; assuming that the phone already has a rom that it is booting to and functioning as expected in order to be able to see the restored data when you boot the phone after the restore.
i find solution

error was because of space on device
i flash a rom once again, than delete all folders that i dont needed
and then go to recovery, than restore was complete
so its was because i dont have to much space on device-its for sure because i try many things and in the end i find this solution off my problem
i hope it be helped to somebody else
