Hi there, I currently have a desire HD that is rooted, s-off and clockwork mod installed. However before I install a (CM6) I was wondering if I do a nandroid backup of my current stock rom. If i then install CM6 then say I want to go back to the stock rom do I simply launch rom manager again then restore from back up? Is that it?
Thank you very much for your time!
Yes, as simple as that.
It just sound..well all to easy Haha! So simply back up using titanium then nandroid install Rom from sd then say I make a back up of this non-stock Rom and then boot into recovery again and restore using backup of original Rom everything will be back to normal? (would there be any chance I could restore again using back up of the Rom I downloaded and it'll be back in that version again?) Thanks!

I've read something about backup&restore problems regarding the new CWM update. That if I backup my ROM with CWM 2.5.1.3 i won't be able to restore it with CWM 3.0.0.1?
But, what if i take the backup with CWM 3.0.0.5, and then try to restore my backup with the same CWM version, wouldn't that work? At least that is what I am trying to do, but after restoring i'm stuck at the white HTC letters in the startup.
The ROM i'm trying to restore is, as you probably understood, Revolution HD 2.0.11.
Is CWM 3.0.0.5 mainly for Gingerbread versions maybe?
BTW, this is my first post here, thanks to all developers ho work here! And sorry if my English isn't so good
Ive got my Desire setup pretty good but want to try some new roms out.
it was rooted using revoked and running clockwork recovery v2.5.0.7.
Can i just do a Nandroid backup and restore it no problem if i dont like the new roms? or do i need my desire s-off?

YOU NEED S-OFF (AND ENG-OFF IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE BASEBAND RADIO)
wen you do a backup of your older rom you can restore it without problems and it restores user data, apps, system, dalvik cache...etc... all things that you was haved.
try and enjoy new roms after doing a nand backup!!!
EDIT: now is available a new version of Clockworkmod recovery:::: lastest:::: 3.0.2.6 and a new version of ROM MANAGER::::: 4.1.0.0
YOU can install it from android market...
don´t forget that if you use an older version of CWM for sd card partition you can brik your device... be careful!
byeee boooyyyy!!!
To be safe, if you partition it, mount sdcard in pc separately. For Windows, use Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition. Then 0% chance of brick.

Hello,
I just got back my desire from repair and have rooted it again using unrevoked, my main rom i flashed was cyanogen 7, i made a backup and then i thought i would s-off and update to clockwork recovery 3....everything was successful.
But when i try out other roms then decide to restore my nandroid back up of cyanogen 7 messeges pop up quickly saying all the apps and stuff have stopped unexpectedly and then the phone reboots again and again.
Can some one help please.
Cheers.
Just do a full wipe and fresh install then backup again.

Hi,
I have done this 3 times and the nandroid backup still reboots, only way to fix it is to install cyanogen on top of it and it fixes it.
I think i will need to try with a sense rom and see if it happens too.
Thanks.
Your tryings to restore the same backup? I said wipe, install fresh then backup that rom, not restore the old one.

And if you did some fancy formatting to your SD card. Well, Might think about that also....

I have deleted the old backup and made new one's each time after a full wipe, the card is formatted correctly and working fine, i have only had this problem after i updated clockwork mod and s-off.
Hello everyone!
I do have a strange problem from my understanding!
I ran a Nandroid Backup with 4Ext Touch Recovery v1.0.0.4 RC3!
To do this I started the 4Ext Recovery Control and chose new backup with the Option not to stay in recovery after backup finished.
My Desire rebooted in recovery and performed the backup without any problems then rebooted and got stuck on the HTC bootscreen!? (How is that even possible? The backup itself shouldn´t change anything?)
I pulled the battery twice and restarted afterwards with no change
I then booted in recovery and only restored the boot partition of the previously created backup and stuck again!
Next step was to first format the boot partition and then restore it from the backup (possibly unnecessary because when restoring boot 4Ext does erase the boot partition before it recovers it anyway!?) and stuck again!
Now I am at a point where I do not know what to do next and I find it really disturbing that I cannot even rely on the creation of a Nandroid backup nor the recovery of it!
Is it possible that this might have something to do with the version of HBOOT I use? It is the one revolutionary flashed during S-OFF!
Is there anything else I can do now?
Kind regards,
Guido
Think some people encountered an issue with that version under certain circumstances, can't remember if it was related to wipe/format of boot or Sys partition or something else. If you can revert back to RC 2, or flash one of the newer test versions and try that.

I encountered this problem in CWM recovery months ago, too.
I just restored nandroid and it booted again.
So if you are in this situation try this.
If you solved, try use previous version RC2 for next nandrod backup.

Just tried a complete recovery, problem unfortunately persists

So after a newly try to recover my latest backup this also failed :-(
I got no errors, but after reboot I got stuck again on bootscreen!
I then reflashed the ROM I am using and to my surprise that worked!
I really don't know what the problem is with recovery, but it's getting a little frustrating...

have you changed your hboot without flashing another recovery? i've read that this can be a problem too. just give it a try, flashing a fresh recovery.

No! I did not flash another HBOOT after S-OFF with revolutionary!

Try updating your 4EXT recovery to the latest one available from your working ROM. Could be that your previous recovery screwed up MD5 sums of your backup, or the recovery didn't flash properly.

Thanks for the tip!
I am using the latest RC Version! I am unsure whether I can safely use the Testing Versions over the RC ones!?!

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to give feedback about my problem!
Updated to 4Ext Recovery 1.0.0.5 RC3 prior to installing Supernova Extreme and made a Nandroid Backup without the problem I encountered before!
Did two additional Nandroid Backups after flashing the new ROM also without any problems!
So this thread can be closed
Thanks again to everyone for your helpful ideas!
Regards,
Guido
