Hey guys,
So I heard somewhere on various posts that Nandroid backup through CWM doesn't backup your stock kernel, only /system+ROM. Is that true, and if so, how do I actually backup my stock kernel? I have an HTC Explorer.
Thanks.

CWM does backup your stock kernel in boot.img extract that and take out the zImage if you only want the kernel, or just keep the whole boot.img in the backup folder

hi guys,
Currently i'm very happy with villianrom 3.0 and i don't have any serious issues at the moment.
My question is relating to the orange stock rom backup i made from my i9100P...
Since this is a P model and has NFC capabilities, i want to know if i wanted to reinstate the original orange rom, what method/software would i use, to RESTORE these files from a backup i made a couple of weeks ago:-
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
system.img
nandroid.md5
Also would it be handy to upload these to the forum for others to have or is this backup only for my use?

Its a nandroid backup so its your phone and you use the same procedure to restore except choose restore in recovery .
Also would it be handy to upload these to the forum for others to have or is this backup only for my use?
No use as it is neither stock nor official rom .

i tried doing a restore when i ended up getting a boot loop with another rom. But CWM didn't recognise the files/folder.
Just for my own information, Is there a way to restore these nandroid files without going to CWM Recovery? i.e. is there an app that can do this?
Hey guys, i can't seem to make a nandroid backup on my P7510 it just gets stuck at the part where its making the backup
Any ideas guys, and I'm looking to move to the task rom....do i really need to have the nandroid backup?
what rom are you flashing btw? use odin to flash a new CWM and try that. if that doesnt work i would recommend nixing the backup and flash task's rom. make sure you follow his instructions tho, its not to complicated. His roms are the most stable out there.

Hi
I want to install a costume Rom on my phone
but first I want to make a backup of my stock rom (just in case)
I found a backup option in the CWM app
so i need to know:
dose this option backs up only the Rom or will it back up the kernel also?
Are there better ways to backup the rom?
in general what does the "create a backup" option do? (in CWM in mean)
thanks in advance
best regards
backs up all but not the EFS and Modem

the backup option will backup every thing on you system and data partition but not the kernel and modem..
there is no better way than this..
correct me if I am wrong:
1-the backup options backs up my data (such as save data for games) too
2-if I want to restore to my stock firmware,this backup WON'T do it properly since it won't restore the kernel

It backups everything including kernel except modem and efs. So if you restore it back you will have your stock kernel there

As Bala said Kernel is backed up..so I may be wrong here..but I read somewhere that kernel is not backed up..so anyways..you will have the stock kernel if I am wrong..
the games data is stored on your internal sdcard..so it wont be backed up..and in between if require a factory reset it will be lost..
thanks guys
you helped me so much (and fast)
and one more thing i remembered right now:
the backup will be a CWM flashable zip file.right?

To restore you go to backup and restore and select restore(from internal or external sd card) depending on where the back up was created.
Is it advisable to backup the EFS folder each time you flash a new rom, or going from ics to jellybean, or once you have it backed up you can restore it to any rom configuration. Thanks in advance.

Just back it up once.. Move it somewhere else for safekeeping.. You are now good to go.. Happy flashing

I have seen members saying that nandroid backup is like the first thing to do before flashing/rooting etc.
I want to ask, how important is nandroid backup for our device? I read somewhere that its nearly impossible to brick your rezound as long as its S-ON, so is nandroid backup still important?
Thing is, my memory card slot is not working and there isn't a way to backup nandroid. Was thinking of flashing some ROMs.
Nandroid are like restore points, if you mess something up you can always go back. It's a must for frequent rom flashing unless you like losing all your data every time you mess something up and end up running an RUU to get it back to working order. Idk if it's possible to maybe have the nandroid save on your internal storage.
Also look on the play store, I remember seeing someone make an app that will do a nandroid backup to cloud.. While the device is booted.

If I make a backup with TWRP, can I restore it if needed using AmonRa?
Thanks for the replies.

I don't know about TWRP and AmonRa, but I do know that TWRP and CWM didn't like each other the last time I tried, which was a couple months ago for a friend. I had to do a different backup using TWRP because it would not read the previous backup properly, which was made with CWM.
EDIT: I did find that Amon Ra can restore CWM backups.
