Hi Guys,
Currently, I'm running a STOCK rooted FROYO ROM.
This one to be exact:
HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed
I would love to try out some of these other great ROMs, but hate going through all of the setup after each flash.
So the question is, what is the easiest way to get all my settings and apps back after flashing a new ROM? Can I make a nandroid backup and a Titanium backup (I have the paid version) then flash a new ROM, say, the FRESH one, and then do a nandroid restore and a Titanium restore and be back with all my settings/apps? Or should I not do a nandroid restore after putting the new ROM on because it's a backup of a different ROM?
Thanks for reading and any insight you might can give me.
Hey guys, whats up.

There's a thread in the dev section titled [how to] fix md5 mismatch. About 20 or 30 threads from the top.

Need info on how to restore my nandroid backup. This is the story. I was rooted with a stock 2.2 froyo rom, make a backup with nandroid. Then I deside to install cm6 Tom. To do this I have to downgrade my hboot from .96 to. 76. I want to go back to my 2.2 root using nandroid but I can not get out of the hboot screen everytime I reboot the phone. Any ideas why is this happening??? Thanks for all your help in advance.
This happened to me today as well you'll need the same hboot as your nandroid backup. So go back to. 96. I ended up just flashing fresh evo and did a data only restore from my nand backup. Better battery life then stock sense rom.

So I was trying to backup a nandroid of the beta official tmous 2.2. I have two phones, one has the beta official 2.2 and the other stock 2.1. I rooted both, did a titanium backup of both, installed system recovery and ran backup of both. Then I went and loaded the 2.2 backup sd card onto the 2.1 phone and ran system backup and restored the backup. You are probably cringing by now...so it installed the backup and rebooted, and , is now in bootloop on the M logo. Can I somehow restore using the backups, or do I have to flash using rsdlite and use one of the roms on here?
Thanks in advance to any that can help!!! My wife just said she will not buy another phone for me, on my 4th phone within the last year...bricking it is a first though
So that's what you did...
To fix the 2.1 phone you bricked, try restoring the 2.1 nandroid you made.
If I'm correct, Moto's locked bootloader saved you and stopped Recovery from loading the new kernel that's used by FroYo. Which is why you're bootlooping...
If I'm wrong, you'll have to flash the leaked FroYo SBF and restore the FroYo Nandroid you made onto it...
yea, as you know I was trying to make a 2.2 tmous nandroid backup to post on here, but since I'm a noob at this I didn't want to post a possible corrupt nandroid, so I wanted to make sure it was good by trying it out. I couldn't restore the 2.1 nandroid, so I went ahead and flashed the UK 2.34. Thank goodness it worked.
So, now how can I flash the 2.2 nandroid backup onto this UK 2.34 to verify that I made a correct nandroid backup? Is it possible? I am thinking that it would have worked if I wiped data and cashe, wich I forgot to do that the first time...
well, just figured out that wiping didn't have anything to do with it...as I'm back to bootloop. Flashing the 2.34 again
The way you can test your nandroid backup is by booting into recovery, make a backup, wiping the phone, making another backup, and then booting the phone. This will allow you to see what is actually on the backup. Yes you will have to reboot and play around a bit to check, but it should be free and clear of things, at that point reboot into recovery, and restore your rom. That will mean that the second backup you made will be exactly what you just experienced. Hope that helps.
thanks. On a side note, last night when I was researching how to recover, I could have sworn I came across nandroid backups of the tmous 2.2 in the development section...Beach Head...have you looked in there (I think I saw it posted in the thread about the tmous 2.2 OTA update, thought I saw several people post a nandroid backup in the thread). Anyway, I still plan on getting this uploaded as soon as possible, but thought you might want to check in that thread...
You can restore nandroid backup of 2.2 when you are on 2.1. But you will have bootloop. It's beacause you have new kernel (from 2.2) that is not compatibile with bootloader. After restoring nandroid you should try flashing a 2.2tmo_boot only .sbf http://www.mediafire.com/?pkjkk75emk6x83f . Maybe that help. But i really not tested this with tmobile roms. With jboogie mods its working fine. Also remember about gsm fix if you use phone not in US. All 3g fixeS are in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258 . You should use the file with the frequencies of your country. If somethings go wrong you should flash 2.1 rom sbf (version that you are using now).
I've installed Redux and enjoyed it on my phone for over a month now. However, I see there is a newer version out. What is the best way of updating (bearing in mind I've got quite a few apps that I don't want to install)?
TIA
You can just flash the new Redux version with the Rom Manager or with the Recovery. You dont have to wipe because you're already on Redux.
Nothing would be deleted. But it's helpfull to do a nandroid backup (a nandroid backup will backup everything on your phone (Apps, Data, Settings,...)) with Rom Manager or Recovery if something goes wrong with the update.
