I did a nandroid backup using CWM6 found here and it gave me a zip file. It looks like a flashable zip to me, but I'm not sure. Has anyone gotten this zip from nandroid and flashed it?
OK folks. It's a flashable rom. I flashed it several times today with both TWRP and CWM6. It's stock ASUS PadFone S Firmware: V11.10.7.11.

Hi all,
i have searched in the forum i haven't found answer to my question.
I have rooted my galaxy tab without odin(using stock recovery and .zip file to install supeuser.apk) and i have installed ClockWorkMod by rom manager then i have done a nanodroid backup before installing CyanogenMod9.
In this way i haven't yellow triangle and my counter is still at 0 ;-).
Now i want to replace stock rom and stock recovery, i have replaced nanodroid backup. Now i come back to stock rom rooted, i can unroot it using another .zip file to be loaded via recovery but i still have CWM recovery.
Can i flash the stock recovery using clockworkmod? If possible i prefer not use odin. Is there a file like stock_recovery.zip to be flshed via CWM recovery?
Thank you very much.
Maurizio

You can find a .zip containing cwm recovery in the "retail 4g" section. It worked for my 3g model and I think the zip will cooperate with any tab.
Here is the link to the zip:

Now unzip it, replace the recovery with your stock, zip it up and flash it through cwm.
I HAVE ONLY FLASHED PERSHOOT'S RECOVERY FOR CM9 THAT WAY, AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENS WITH STOCK.
You can find the stock recovery for your device here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1#osa
Download the proper firmware for your device/region, untar it and get the recovery.img.
Just fyi you can flash official firmware with odin without raising the binary counter (Or so they say. I haven't tried this yet). In that case though your device gets wiped, so make a full backup prior to that.
Good luck!

I have tried to install smartdroid in my s3 using TWRP as recovery manager. Since I previously backed up my stock rom I was able to back from a flashing problem I had "some changes failed". As I saw this can be overcame using Philz I changed the recovery. Then I tried to install, again, the smartdroid. This time it finishes but never booted up correctly.
Now, I am not able to reload my backed up rom (as it was made with TWRP and now I have Philz) nor installing smartdroid. So well, I want to install TWRP but I haven't seen the zip file to install it from Philz recovery What can I do?. Can I use odin from Philz?
Thanks
I didn't remember the download mode!, This post saved my day http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/twrp-flashing-tar-t2680354
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 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/
hello.
I'm having problems restoring a backup using TWRP so I'm hoping earlier versions would still have recovery inside boot.img like in cm11. thanks!
edit: seems cm12 does NOT have CWM.
