I made a backup of my HTC EVO LTE Stock ROM in TWRP, I flashed CMX, now I want to go back to Stock, so I went to TWRP>Install, I can see my backup folder under /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/name of backup.. but I when I select the folder it does not give me the option to Install it. It just opens as an empty folder. I did notice the folder is not in a .zip format. Is this the reason why? Did I miss something during the back up process? And if so, how can I fix it? Is it as easy as just converting the regular folder into a .zip folder then try to install it this way?.. Please tell me not everything is lost, lol.. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There should be a restore option on the main screen in twrp recovery. If you hit that it will allow you to choose what file you want to restore

Seconded. Choose "restore" to restore nandroid backups.

Need to Restore But Getting Black Screen
Okay so my situation is similiar to the OP.
I was running CM10 then a custom sense Rom.
I made an original backup, but when I restore it I get a black screen at boot.
Typically when I flash a Rom I have to fastboot flash the boot.img which is no biggie, but there's no boot.img that I can find in the twrp backup.
Might be just as easy to flash a stock Rom, but not sure exactly where to find one. Everything I've found is rooted or custom in some way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The ROM I'm trying to restore is the original state of my phone. Would this be a stock ROM with a versioning date of October 28th(the day I got my phone and made the backup), current stock ROMs, or launch stock ROMs. Basically will any boot.img work from a stock ROM?
I do see the boot sector being written during the restore process. There is a boot.something.win file in the backup folder for the backup. Can this be fastbooted? I'm a bit timid to try that, but thinking it may be worth a shot...

Thanks for the quick reply, QuickWizard is very fitting. I actually got it after I finished going my own route though.
I grew a pair and went with my got and I went ahead and flashed the boot.emmc.win from the twrp backup in flashboot. It successfully got me booted and logged into the phone. That said the stock rom is so crappy...
But, I was having issues on CM10 with MHL, on a "stock rom with goodies" I was having radio issues with the latest firmawares, so now it's back to my rooted stock backup and I'm doing the HTC System OTA update... Should be interesting what happens next...
Again thank you all with the quick replies!

For those people who have mistakenly :
deleted their o1 original Nand backup
or
forgot to do so
or
For whatever reason they need it, here is a copy of Nand backup.
It's a Nand backup of factory reset original rom. So doesn't contain my private data.
Somehow if you find anything private, do report me.

How to restore this thru amonra? I place it inside nandroid folder, when i select ORIG-CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP, it shows all the files inside it not restoring.
[Q]-I have to unzip CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP.zip right? I miss stockrom.
Are these just the contents of the NAND backup zipped or was this created through a separate tool?
On a different but slightly similar note, does anyone have a link to the V10G stock ROM that can be flashed via KDZ?

Yeah. Unzip it. You will have a folder named "CLEAN-NAND-BACKUP".
Put this folder under sdcard/nandroid/mem=471M
Then you can go to recovery and do the usual thing.

This is flashable with Clockwork. All you have to do is rebuild this as a "rom" from the kitchen.
This, of course, takes a little more time than flashing another recovery image. It's just that I feel uncomfortable with flashing and reflashing something so important (recoveries).
could anyone give me baltics nand ?
Hi, I'm currently using the latest ClockworkMod as my recovery. I've never had any problem with it (had it on my og evo as well), but I'm hearing a lot of great things about twrp recovery, so I'd like to make the switch. I'm all clear on most of the process, but is it correct that I'll need to make new nandroid backups? If so, should I delete my cwm nands? How would I go about doing that? And am I correct that I'd need to revert to my stock (first) nandroid, flash the new recovery from there, make a new twrp nandroid, and then go back to cm7? Just want to be sure, as I know that nandroids are a lifeline and I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks in advance!

Ok so I'm currently running the latest ICS CleanROM but would like to restore back to my GN nandroid I made. I'm just confused on what steps I need to do. I guess the ICS ROMs use different kernels that are not compatible with GB. In which case I don't know where to get the latest OTA stock kernel from so I can restore back to GB. Been searching and trying to read but it gets confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

There is a posted latest OTA stock on android developement , but I think it got pushed back to the 2nd page by now.
He has 2 files , one is a zip and the other a ph98img file.
Now, the text file in the ph98img file is our old stock number so it won't auto install.
Here is what I did, put the first file on the root of the external SD card.
Open up the second file and remove the boot.img file, and put on your desktop or better yet into your fastboot folder that you used to unlock with.
Now, reboot in recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Then install your backup, but don't reboot yet. Flash the 1 st file you downloaded from the OTA kernel post. After that is done , return to main recovery menu.
Now select developer menu, then select reboot to bootloader. After you are in bootloader select fastboot (should say FastbootUSB ) if your phone is plugged in and your in fastboot.
Finally, open up a command prompt from the fastboot folder containing the boot.img from the 2nd file and type in fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the rest of the stock kernel for you . Now ,, just reboot normally and you should be good to go .
Now, this is if the backup nand your restoring was using the stock OTA kernel. If not , its the same process just pull the boot.img out of the kernel from whatever rom your trying to restore.

i just came back to cleanrom 1.5.5 from ics rom and this is what i did.
you need the cleanrom and cleanflash 1.0 to do this.
cleanrom: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=70
cleanflash: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=57
extract the rom file and copy the boot.img file and paste on cleanflash folder.
also put the rom file in your ext. sdcard.
now use cleanflash.exe and flash the boot.img first
then from bootloader, go to recovery and wipe then flash the rom
Awesome thanks guys this is helpful. Gonna give it a try.

I believe CleanROM 1.5+ & RezROM 1.4+ ROMs include and automatically install the kernel.
Do I need to restore the ROM I made my nandriod from first? Or can I restore my previous nandriod off any ROM I'm currently using?
I'm sure this has had to been asked before, but maybe I'm using the xda search wrong.
Thanks

Just wipe in Aron Ra and then restore from your nandroid. I commonly jump from Rom to Rom, just make sure you wipe in between.
Yupyup your nandroid reverts you to whatever that particular nandroid saved..

Thanks guys. I'm not sure what is wrong with my phone. Clean ROM 4.3 was the only one that would work for me, until this morning. I finally got RAGE1.8 to work. All other ROMs would boot loop, including all Clean ROMs after 4.3. I had been reinstalling Clean ROM and then restoring the nandriod, I'm glad I can skip one step if I need to go back.
Make sure you wipe before you restore a nandroid. If you don't it could cause it to bootloop.
Also if you're s on it could be an issue with kernel compatibility

I am S on. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought loading the PH98IMG file in the bootloader was loading the kernel.
First, you really should S-Off, it will make it a whole lot easier, it will allow you to jump from Rom to Rom a lot easier. Be careful because some new roms call for the latest firmware to run correctly.

It has to be the ph file from the rom you are on
So I have rooted my HOX+ & installed custom rom & it's bootloader.
I have made a nandbackup & now I want to try another Rom & so will have to flash it's bootloader.
So it I want to restore the nand back up I made & clean everything out will I have to flash the boot img for the restore img I am about to go back to or does the nand back up the boot img as well
Hope that make sense?
Thanks
I posted the same question a while back and I didn't get a response.
However, what I do know is that restoring a nand will not restore your boot.img because we do not have S-off. So, your recovery software will not be able to flash the boot partition in the nand restore. You'd have to restore that boot.img seperately in fastboot. IF you restore a stock nand coming from a custom ROM, I'm pretty sure you'd just hang at splash screen until you flash back to that same custom rom.
I also don't know if you can extract the boot.img somehow from the nand.
So, I haven't verified this works yet, but if I ever have to, or want to restore the stock nand, I went here:
Stock ATT ROM Zips
Downloaded the stock rom ZIP, extracted the boot.img and then I'll fastboot flash before\after restoring the nand.
Let me know if you try this out, or if someone else could confirm this is the correct process?
Thanks

I hear you brother:good:
Actually....when the boot.img is flashed it is extracted to where it belongs. So backups do back up the boot.img. Just restore and nothing extra has to be done.
