So I used to used to use twrp recovery, but then switched to Philz, but I had a nandroid backup of my stock rom on twrp. Is there a way I can transfer that backup to Philz recovery? Thanks.

The thread says that only cwm and twrp are compatible, but I don't see any mentions of philz. Also how do i use this app to convert my backups from twrp to philz?
Well Philz is just a modded version of cwm I believe so it should be compatible. If you read through the thread it states that you can make a flashable zip out of your nandroid backup.
No need to jump through any recovery hoops just to backup a stock AT&T ROM. All versions of AT&T stock ROMs are available as RUU.
If you really want a nandroid of your stock ROM, and the above mentioned app doesn't work, you can always: revert to TWRP, restore the stock ROM (TWRP nandroid), flash Philz, than make a backup (Philz nandroid) of the stock ROM.

Hello! I'm in a pickle here, I gotta restore my backup that I've made with Clockwork recovery. The problem is that later on I've flashed Amon_RA and now I can't get it to restore the old Nandroid backup. Help?
From what I gather you can't. You could use ADB (from the SDK) and reflash Clockwork
Thank you very much Do you have a link on a guide on how to flash a recovery image via adb?

you don't have to...
make sure you have that restore somewhere safe, reinstall clockworkmod (CWM) from the market,
use the line that says: install (latest) recovery (normally it's the first option in CWM)
it should replace your amon ra with CWM Rec
then u can use your nandroid again you made with CWM
after that, you can still decide wich recovery u use (but if it's amon ra, make a new nandroid!!)
hope this helps..
So here is exactly what I did and I realize the error I made.
I had the Bootstrap CWM installed and I tried to install a non-Boostrap CWM ROM.
I wiped System/Data etc after I made a backup. Is there anyway to flash stock to the phone?

If you have 2.3.4 you can restore via a RSD flash back to stock
What firmware were you running?
What ROM did you attempt to flash?
Problem: I flashed newer versions of CWM (5.5 and 6.0.2) and TWRP 2.3.3 in prep for trying CM11. Neither recovery seems to be able to create a Nandroid of CM7. They both hang about 25% into the job.
So I'm not sure I'll have a valid backup, I'm not sure I'll be able to restore my current Nandroid, and I'm not sure I'll be able to flash a new ROM. Before I do anything else, can someone point me to a known working recovery for CM7.2?
Thanks!
If Nandroid fails, try online nandroid or titanium backup. If those fail, then just try using TWRP 2.6.3 off SD (I couldn't get it to work from EMMC), and backup/install from there. If no backup options work, just try not backing up; you can always just use repart.img to restore to 1.4.2.
I eventually found a flashable zip of CWM 5.0.2.8 and was able to flash it sucessfully. Booted to recovery and was able to make a full Nandroid. Enough for now, I'll fool with CM11 another day.
So I'm running Cwm version 5.8.1.5 and on stock rom. Now I want to put a custom kitkat rom . so for that, do I need to upgrade my cwm to 6.0.4.5?If so then how do I do it( wanna confirm)?
And just so that the process is streamlined, can anyone tell me the exact procedure before and after flashing the rom via CWM?

If you want back-up apps and data with titanium back-up.
Put all the files you need on your phone (CWM kitkat compatible, rom, gapps) reboot into recovery, nandroid back-up, flash the kitkat compatible CWM, reboot into recovery and follow the steps in the op of the rom you want to install.
Hello,
I want to switch from CWM to TWRP.
The problem is, that when I flashed CWM, my android was 4.1.2 version, and so was the recovery.
I've already flashed newer rom than 4.1.2, and now I want to switch to TWRP.
My concern is: Now that I downloaded the latest TWRP and I use Nandroid, it prompts me that the TWRP .img file is built for 4.1.2 android, so can I still flash the TWRP although I have higher version than 4.1.2?
*Also, is Nandroid a working way to switch between recoveries? I've never done that before, and I just came across a thread that suggests using Nandroid to flash new reocvery over the existing one.
Thanks!
TWRP or CWM Recoveries will work in all android versions. Just download twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar flash it via odin. Here is the link - https://dl.twrp.me/i9300/
