is there a way (or modified CWM) to include vendor partition on NAND Backup by CWM?
Because ICS for xperia neo have the so called vendor partition...

Hi
I'm using System Cleanup to move some application to vendor and system partitions . but it brings up some other issue! while nand backup via CWM works greatly, it doen't backup vendor partition. so I'm losing all the application moved there.
Is there any way to create vendor.img from phone?
I have used android (my Neo V) for month, I flash few ROM with respect and responsibility.
I always backup my phone for the worst case but still now I not fully understand Nandroid backup.
Does it backup full my kernel and baseband beside everything that show up in the script?
(Like /system, /data, /cache, /sd-ext ....)
Thank you very much.

It backs up all partiotions on your phone
the system the data the cache recovery boot (add if i forgot sth)
if i remember right it does not backup your internal sd but anyway the internal sd is not affected by installing a rom

Kernel will not be included in the backup.

Thats not entirely true, all the recoveries I have used have had an option to backup the boot partition...
of course the kernel is included
for instance
you run stock gingerbread with custom kernel
you want to try cyanogenmod
you make a nandroid backup
afterwards you flash cm and after a while you want to get back to stock rom
you restore your backup and afterwards its exactly the same rom on your phone as it was when you made your backup
Kernel IS included in boot.img

Thanks for correcting me

On my LG-P990 it does not backup the (internal) /sdcard partition.
When I first did not know about this I once formatted it which extinguished my save games and pictures
Hi all, i just replaced my sd-card so i can make a swap partition and speed up my phone.
any way.. i played with Swapper 2 options (swap and swappiness size).
after reboot my galaxy doesn't boot into the system i did a nandorid backup,moved back to Samsung official release, did a full system format and still i doesn't boot into the system.
when i'm restore to my cm backup it stuck on it writes that the restore succeed but it stuck on ''Samsung Galaxy SIII'' screen.
when the official release installed (from adb) it does a boot loop over and over (factory reset doesn't work).
another thing i noticed is that in the recovery it writes ''E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)''
that can i do? i think i did every thing i can
In recovery can you access the efs partition? If not then it probably is corrupt, you'll need to format it and restore your efs backup.
If you don't have an efs backup then you need a service centre.
I wouldn't mess with any partition software on this phone, too risky.
i don't have /efs partition
Ok so i managed to boot into official firmware and i found that i don't have /efs partition.
i figure this out from EFS Professional, EFS pro and the recovery.
im searching for an hours but with no answer.. - can i create /efs partition?

Do you have any older backup files.
When you try to restore your backup file CVM or TWRP recovery will ask which partitions you want to restore.
If you see EFS partition on any of your old backups you can restore it.
If no the way to service is seen.
I know this should be pretty basic, but I've found some conflicting information online. I'm running crDroid at the moment and I'd like to make a perfect backup that will restore the entire system, apps, and app data as it was at the time of backup.
TWRP offers me 14 partition options for backup:
Spoiler: Partitions
Data (excl. storage)
Cache
System
System Ext
Vendor
Boot
EFS
Android Secure
Modem
Persist
Recovery
Internal storage
System Image
Vendor Image
If I understand right based on the TWRP FAQ, then backing up "System Image" and "Vendor Image" should be what I need. Have I got that right?
You are right System Image and Vendor Image, but also add Data and for kernel add Boot and Dtbo.
Those partitions need to be recovered to get your old ROM back.
Once you should backup EFS which contains IMEI and also Persist if the recovery supports it.
EFS and Persist should only be recovered when you really need to.
Happy flashing.
