Can you word the question differently?
I have never zipped my file. i just use the restore option from CWM.

Just boot into cwm and go to restore.
Correct, you don't need to do anything extra to nandroid backups, they are formatted to just be used as is.

Just wondering......
I'm on simply honey 5.1 and have been updating with it's no wipe script. I'm curious in trying MIUI and Cm7. I just wanna know if I could restore with a cwm backup, and get ask my apps back without having to do a titanium backup.
thanks!

I believe you can but you if you go to CM7 or MIUI, you will have to odin back to stock if you want to revert to anything else. But from there you won't be able to just restore your CWM backup because CWM does not backup the kernel. Best thing to do then is to flash any GB rom to get back to GB kernel. Then you can restore your CWM backup.
Anyone correct me if this is not the case.
But wool all of my market apps still be installed thru the cwm restore? Even if the ROM I switch to wipes?

Yeah the CWM backup backs up your current config exactly as it is (*except the kernel). So if you end up restoring, it should be right back to the way it was when you backed up.
Hey can I use dragonzkiller's bootstrap to restore a nandroid backup I did before flashing CM7? There is an app with data in it I need to get to. I tried backing it up, but now in CM7 it won't find the backup file to restore even if I put it in the folder with it. The nandroid is for rooted 2.3.4 stock.

First off, everything that is nandroided goes in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup (depending on whether you stored it on the external sdcard).
If you put it on the internal, then it would be in /emmc/clockworkmod/backup
If you just want the one app, you can use Titanium Backup to extract it from the nandroid backup. I think you have to have the pro version though.
There are some free programs that will extract from a nandroid backup. App Extractor is a free app that will do this as well. You can get it at the Android Market at https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDEsImNvbS5oYW5keWFuZHkuYXBwZXh0cmFjdG9yIl0.

You can use titanium pro (paid version) to restore an app with data. I did this successfully but did have one problem. After restoring, the app would not run. I moved it from sd card to internal and back to sdcard and it's worked perfectly.

Glad it worked for you. I didn't want to see you have to nandroid it all back to get it for just one app.
AppExtractor and TiBu have saved me more than once.
I have run a search and surprisingly did not find my particular question..
How do I make a backup (image?) of my phone as it stands now...
I flashed a rom, everything is working to my liking and have backed up all my apps and settings via TB.
Is it possible to have a backup sitting on my PC that I can just flash with Odin or CWM that will restore my phone to how it is right now? Similar to a PC image?
Thanks in advance!

Just make a nandroid backup using cwm and copy those backup files located in "clockworkmod " folder in SD card to your PC. Whenever you need to restore it back just copy back the files to.the same location and restore it via cwm.

Can I restore a Nandroid from another rezound and It would flash my phone identically to there's. I just want to try my friends rom and I love how he has it set up and I thought it would be pretty easy to just flash/restore his nand

Does any one know this answer?

yes
Yes, you can. But it must be contained in a subfolder of nandroid, named HTXXXXXXXX
which is exclusive to your particular phone.
You can discover the name of that subfolder by doing a fake nandroid backup
of the phone you wish to restore to.
Then visualize the sdcard in windows explorer with phone "on" and remove the fake nandroid
backup you just made, replacing it with the preferred backup. Or do this connected to sdcard in recovery.
Either way, the good restore file must be on sdcard in nandroid/HTxxxxxx of new phone.
Then do a 'restore' in recovery and the old operating system is now on a second phone.
Go to Play Store and get updates and you're good to go.
and then, and then
Since it's your friend's setup, you'll need to get into Google Play Store
with your own account, and change other things to your name as well.
It will know all about your VZN account when you put in the sim.
It would be much simpler to flash the Rom and set it up yourself. The nandroid contains all the personnel info he has used on his phone before the nandroid. He (your friend) could fresh install the Rom then before setting anything up he doesn't want you to know do a nandroid.

Hi,
I done a nandroid backup and then tried to restore it but every time it tries to restore the data it says it's corrupt, is there another way that I can extract the data from it? I tried titanium backup the pro version which I am new to I tried the nandroid option but it forced closed when I selected the nandroid

Thanks it's a nice app, but it let's my restore everything but apart from my data and apps
