I want to do a factory reset from CWM recovery and then restore an older backup of my Leedroid Rom. Would this reset count as far as resetting the battery stats? I don't want to go over and over the process of setting up the phone, accounts, etc and restoring my apps.
Thank you.

I did some searching and I wasn't able to find the answer I was looking for, so here goes.
Last night I rooted my GB Evo with the new Revolutionary method. I got all excited to put my MikG ROM back on the device using AmonRa, and without thinking I cleared cache, delvic-cache, and then data ... THEN I did my Nandroid backup.
If I ever decide to restore back to my backup, is this going to cause problems? What exactly is lost when you choose to clear data?
Thanks for your help.
That will clear all your settings definitely and apps I think.
Clearing data I mean .
Clearing cache and dalvik cache will do nothing I do that before backing up to save memory.

You pretty much only backed up the system and wimax.
i dont think it will boot up if you restore. try it and tell us your results you can always go back into recovery and flash a new rom
Make another backup and don't wipe data I only keep backups that I want to go back to and incase something goes wrong .
As long as you have your apps backed up you can always flash a stock rooted ROM and restore your apps.

Hey,
A question about rom's - when i flash a new rom do i really need to do a full wipe and factory reset? wont it delete all my programs messeges etc? is it possible to flash without resting everything?
Doing a factory reset will wipe all your data, apps, messages, etc. It will not wipe your internal or external sd card though so you can always restore backed up apps if you use TiBu or any app backup program. Also, create a nandroid backup through recovery and you can always restore it later or restore certain apps from it using TiBu or other apps. And yes, you can always try flashing a new ROM without a factory reset. Depending on what rom you're coming from/going to will determine whether or not you will have issues.

Custom ROM meaning a cm9/10, AOKP, AOSP ROM? If so, then yes. If you're just going to a stock-based ROM, then no, you'll be fine.

I know this is probably a dumb question but I searched and can't find the answer.
I recently flashed CM10. Before I did that I made a nandroid backup of rooted TouchWiz.
I want to go back to rooted TouchWiz.
Does anything special need to be done before restoring the a nandroid backup?
Or is it as simple as just choosing the restore option and then selecting the correct backup.
Thanks.
Just choose restore option then wipe cache nd dalvik cache

So that's wipe cache and dalvik cache AFTER restore, correct?
Yes

When I restore from nandroid, I just restore.. No clearing etc but whatever makes you happy. Never had any problems restoring..
hey if I've done a nandroid how would i properly restore it as far as wiping before my restore? thanks
Same as installing a rom never fails me, wipe system factory reset wipe caches and... restore

Just restore. No need to wipe anything as the old information is overwritten, not merged.
You can either wipe or simply restore your nandroid without manually wiping partitions. I personally just like to restore as wiping is already being done. If you notice, while running the restore process each partition you selected is being wiped upon restoring that specific partition.

Yeah, I kmow it sounds noob but here is the thing.
You do a nandroid backup, then i restore it, simple as it is.
But should i completly do a clean up be4 doing the restore and does the restore be as good as the last time I used it? Or will it have some issues after first restore?

Restoring is better and less work than flashing through odin.
No wipe is neccery with restore..I personaly prefer Twrp cause it saves your efs and modem in seperate partitions for easy restore.
yes I know, but what are the steps so I can fully restore it as it was before without any bugs or failures.. only tap on restore?
Yes just tap on restore; it automatically wipes and restores each partition you've backed up.

in my experience, I always backup the ROM I'm using before flashing any new ROMs
in any ROM backup, I recommend that you checked the boot, system & data (I use TWRP recovery) if you want to revert to it later on
if all three items are checked, you can just restore it & it'll be the same as when you backed it up
as for the wipe, I always wipe (data, cache & dalvik cache) before flashing &/ restore anything, just to be on the safe side
