can someone post a nandroid stock backup file. my phone is basically screwed right now. and clockwork recovery isn't letting me flash any roms. but it will still let me restore nandroid. plz help.
I'm pretty sure you can't use someone else backup. I assume you did not backup and now can't flash a new rom. Look out up but believe your best option is to adb push amon recovery, rename it PC36IMG and flash it through bootloader. Then reboot into recovery and flash new rom.
Just a newbie though...
Good luck!

If it wil let you restore a nandroid, why not restore one of your own? You did make a nandroid before you started screwing with your phone, right?
I'm assuming no

Can't use another phone nandroid, it will mess you up more than you already are. Flash a stock rom and re root.
Hi guys, i have a backup of my stock rom (The software that it comes with outoff the box) and im currently using charmander rom which ive flashed a kernel for, so if i flashed another rom, say for example cynagenmod9, could i restore back to charmander? Even if i flashed another rom after it with a different kernel? Or am i getting confused? Thanks.
When you restore a backup in ClockworkMod, it doesn't restore the boot.img (which contains the kernel).
So whenever you restore, you must also re-flash a boot.img that matches the ROM in your backup.
For example, if you install CM9, you could get back to charmander like this:
1. Connect the phone to your PC and reboot it into bootloader
2. Use fastboot to flash the charmander boot.img file
3. In the bootloader go to hboot then select recovery
4. Restore your charmander backup
Ahhh okay, thank you

Hi Guys,
I have a (dummy) question... I hope you can answer me...
I run 'Venom Flasher' for changing from FAUX 010VF to NCX 2.17-6.
After reboot the cell stoped in white screen.
I tryed all wipe, including factory reset, and there is no way to launch system.
I decided to restore a Nandroid backup, beliving this backup will restore all system, including kernel (FAUX).
After reset the system launch... but... For my surprise the kernel running is the NCX...
How is it possible?
For me a Nandroid backup should restore including the kernel...
Am I crazy or what did I do wrong?
Thanks all!!!
Ps.: the nandroid backup was done with Rom Manager.
You have to extract the boot.IMG from your nandroid and flash that in fastboot, then restore your nandroid. Without s-off, recovery can't flash the boot.IMG

Since we don't have soff, kernels must be flashed manually from a pc/mac using fastboot. Just make sure you flash that from your nandroid backup and no other version.

Hi
I have a HTC one X rooted phone with stack 4.1.1
I get a message that there is a new update 3.20.401.1
After download it tells me to reboot. My phone then goes to ClockWorkmode (CWM)
It stoops there. I do not find any zip file to install.
Any tips for this, or should I just ignore this?
Thanks

You just need to flash stock recovery through fastboot again mate then on booting up you should be able to install the update. Or you could install a custom rom with that base without having to flash recovery :good:
Thanks for quick reply.
If I go for a custom room, what is the best out there?
Do I loose anything by not upgrading the stock room?

they are all pretty damn good roms mate! too hard to choose really, just best to flash em, and see remember to make a nandroid backup also
u shouldn't loose anything apart from bloatware
If you want a custom based on stock, i suggest Android revolution, Viper Rom, or SD ROM.

I did try out Cyanogen lastest image, that do work fine.
But I have to look long for how to find out that I needed to extract boot.img from the cyanogen zip file and install this with flashboot.
But now I like to go back to my original rom. I did take a nandroid backup, and also have an older nandroidbackup.
Its not possible to make the phone go back. When I start restor, all looks ok MD5 etc, but then gets this message
Error while restoring /system!
Do I have to do more flashboot stuf to go back?
I am still able reinstall Cyanogen from zip file. But my Cyanogen backup also fail.
Why
Edit. The Cyanogen Image is 4.2.2 and Orginal image is 4.1.1. Could that be any problem?

Are you sure you've made the backup with the same recovery as you are attempting to restore it with?
The Android version shouldn't really matter, but there may be exceptions for some things.

If you are using CWM recovery u should be able to go into the backup file (under clockwork mod/backup on sd) and take the boot.img u need to flash via fastboot there. Put it in your fastboot file and then flash using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
So I should take the boot.img from the backup, run fastimage and restore it?
Then try to restore the backup using clockworkmod?
I am not user if the backup was made with
recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img or
recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
Is it important to restore with correct version? If so how to see what version that was used?
I am not able to go back to my old image
Not sure why, but the Cyanogenmod does not give me any Mobil data (3G etc)??
I tried to restore the boot.img from correct backup using flashboot flash boot boot.img and then try to restore.
But still I get Error while restoring /system!
Some note:
I made a backup of my working Cyanogenmod, this I am able to restore without getting the restoring error.
No I also have tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
But there are some different thing going on.
When I first tested to restore my original image, I get menu like this when trying to restore:
Code:
Yes-Restore
No
Go-Back
Now I do get:
Code:
No
No
No
No
No
Yes-Restore
No
No
No
*** Go back
Have I used another clockworkmode to make the backup?
If you want to be sure you use the same recovery as where the nandroid is made with ? Flash the recovery.img from the nandroid folder.
Then flash the boot.img from the nandroid folder, go into recovery :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then restore the nandroid.
Thanks
You saved my day.
It seems that the backup was done with CWM based v6.0.2.7
Not sure where I have got this version.
Latest version listed here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager is 5.8.4.0 and not 6.0.2.7 that I have used
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941630 is 6.0.3.2 listed
What is the latest version of CWM for HTC ONE x and where to get it?
And last, what is the best to use
Yeah well after all the replies i thought i chip in give my 2 cents
This is one of the latest i use now.

Everything is working fine and I start to understand how its connected together.
But there are one thing that still puzzle me, the boot.img
When and why do I need to change that when I go to and from CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2) and Original image 4.1.1
What trigger the need of the change?
Should not this be restored correctly when I restore a backup. (In Clockwork mode)?
Does this work automatically whit Philz recovery 5.6.1.img?
I do like to change image in my phone without need a PC to run fastboot !!
When you change rom you need to flash the corresponding boot.img from that particular rom or nandroid backup.
We can't flash boot.img files via recovery because we have s-on devices so fastboot is a must.

you need to flash cwm recovery first and do a full wipe. I think the backup folder is clockworkmod/backup/"date". I find it easier to just wipe then do a backup, even though is nothing on your phone, and this will give you the file structure you need. then go to the "backup/date" folder and delete the contents and replace them with your saved backup and flash it. and dont forget to flash the boot.img from your backup too
