Hi everyone,Before Installing WanamLite V6.0 I made a Nandroid backup. Now I want to revert to stock ROM which is the Nandroid backup I made,but wanted to know,does Nandroid Backup Also Restore MODEM? Cause I don't want modem to be restored.
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
A standard Nandroid does not.
CWM does not backup or restore the modem.
Not too sure about other recoveries though....
I'm using Official CWM 6.0.3.1! And what about folders on the internal SDCard? Cause WanamLiteV6 is Android 4.2.2 and messed up Internal SDCard with emulated/0 folder...
you should be ok.
sdcard/0 might still exist after you've restored but can be deleted....
Will try to restore then,will let you know
If you face problems going back to your nandroid try using philz recovery and completely wiping the phone before you restore. It should get rid of everything.

i have rooted my phone thanks to dayzee's tutorial, and i made a nandroid backup. i installed cache to sd and after having a few issues with it i had to wipe my phone. After i wiped my phone without thinking i erased everything off of my SD card, now i dont have a nandroid backup, and i was wondering if it is necessary to have a nandroid backup and if so how do i get it back. thanks
It's not vital unless you want to restore your phone to the state it was in when you made that backup.
Hello
Here is my story
I was trying to upgrade to ICS by flashing the latest stock ROM XXLPS that I got from Samfirmware.
1- on the first try I did not perform a full wipe, the ROM was a no wipe ROM so It upgraded and all my apps are kept there,. after a while I start facing errors and restarts so I fall back
2- on the second try I flashed the ROM then I did a full wipe/factory reset. It was working well until I rooted it using CF-root and started to restore my apps using TB. I noticed that the problems are coming from Apps installed on external SD, sometimes it was unmounted automatically
Anyway I did a fall back using a CWM restore, I noticed after restore that CSC and baseband are still the ICS ones ? I thought that CWM backup and restore everything??!!
I have also had the same experience once....
when we select advance restore we can find these:
1) Restore Boot (which include boot image and Kernel)
2) Restore System (complete system files)
3) Restore Data (user data like apps and user data etc..)
4) Restore Cache
5) Restore Sd-ext (if we set a partition for applications in the externel SD card)
Unless the CSC is already integreted in system (2nd item) I believe these 2 items, especially baseband, are not backed up normally from CWM, otherwise there should be a restoring option too .....
Especially if you go from one generation to another (Gingerbread to Icecream e.g.) its more complicated to go back a step. You should flash a base Gingerbread ROM from samfirmware e.g. with ODIN (not a CWM version) and then try to restore your Gingerbread backup.
After you flashed the base you may change CSC before you restore your backup. This is the cleanest way to get back.
CWM nandroid is not what we know as a real image backup of a PC.
Thanks guys for the clarifications
BTW regarding the upgrade to ICS what is the best option to do it and restore back the apps or keep them ?

This you have to do with Titanium back up not with CWM back-up...with Titanium Backup pro you can restore applications from nandroid (CWM) backup.
there should not be any problem while you restore only apps on the ICS, some may not work, just unsinstall such...better you select it individually and install... but dont attempt for any system data restore....
This is exactly what I have done, i tried to restore using TB but from backup taken by TB and not from Nandroid.
It was working fine but later start to hang and restart. I noticed that the issue is coming from applications installed on external SD? Is there any issue with ICS or CF-root kernel and external SD card?

try moving all apps from ext sdcard to phone for a while and check for any issues like hang or restart
I found an open issue related to crash and reboots when a large number of apps are installed on sd card.

Umm... This might be a Noob question but i've flash a ROM and I want to revert it back to the stock rom, Could I use the Nandroid backup to restore the stock ROM?
NAndroid restore

Thankyou for replyin, yes the backup is in the SD card

Just go to recovery mode when you switch on your device and flash your nandroid backup located in your sd card. Simple as that!
1)Boot your phone into recovery.
2)go to Backup and restore.
3)Choose the nandroid backup file.
4)select,wait and and when its done reboot and volia! its done.
Thanks
I rooted my phone yesterday and flashed one of the ICS ROMS. Prior to flashing the ROM, I made a backup of my stock ROM using CWM. Instead of keeping the backup on my sd card, I moved it to my computer's hard drive. I decided I wanted to restore my backup, so I moved the back up files back on to my sd card. However, when I try to restore, CWM is unable to find the files.
Anyone know how I can get the back up restored through CWM?
Hello guys!
Recently I decided to flash a new ROM, and before that i made a nandroid backup with CWM. Backup was saved in /storage/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup. After a new rom flashing, i didn't like it, so i decided to restore from my nandroid backup. When I open Rom manager app, and select to restore backup, my backup shows up, however, when I click restore, after booting to recovery menu, it says "can't mount backup path". I have rom manager CWM recovery v5.5.3.7.
What should I do? Is it possible to restore from PC?
Delete (please ignore)
have you tried to move your nandroid backup to the internal storage and restore from there?
