[Q] Reverting back to old backups

so currently im on fxp45 with doomlords kernel for CM7
everything is awesome first of all
problem is that i wanna try an MIUI rom but want to be able to go back on CM7 with everything i have right now
if i back up my system switch kernels, run MIUI ROM with appropriate kernel, then revert back to CM7 kernel can i restore to the backup i made b4?
greatly appreciate it

I tried it and i can confirm that it works. But before you restore you have to switch back to the freexperia kernel or doomkernel, wipe cache and user data in CWM recovery and then recover the backup, otherwise it won't work (at least it didn't work for me, unless i wiped the cache and user data).

Thank you I will try tommorrow

Backup restore ONLY apps, not data.
Because this restore backup data causes a lots force close for you.

I guess zainthesnipe was talking about a full system backup (via CWM recovery), there is no difference between app and data in those backups. After restore the complete ROM will be exactly like it has been before. Settings, apps, user data, just everything. I just don't know what happens, if some apps are stored on SD... haven't tested it yet.

CM10 back to Stock rooted via nandroid?

Do I have to worry about bootloaders or can I just clear data/wipe cache + dalvik and flash my nandroid?

I nandroid back and forth between CM10 and other ROMs that I have nandroid backed up all the time.
Those other ROMs were not the stock ROM but I would think it doesn't matter which ROM so I think you would be safe.

You just restore your backup. You don't even need to clear anything.

restore completes but the phone stucks at boot Samsung galaxy y young............... I didn't want to restore through odin
so plzzzzz plzzzzz, someone plz provide me the nandroid backup of stock rom

Sent from my GT-S5360

A nandroid backup includes users application with data,
That's why I think noones going to share a Nandroid, why you don't want to flash through ODIN

Use ODIN, it's a better way than nandroid backup....u might get stuck at logo in the new backup too, but ODIN's always safe....
Code:
System.out.println("Sent from my SGY");

This is what you want, btw its an asian firmware, you may need to change csc after flashing if you are not from asia:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710161

Make sure you are on stock kernel before restoring the backup

here it is bro..
go to stock recovery then wipe data/cache, then apply update from sdcard choose your cwm then inside cwm wipe data/cache again, then backup/restore then restore... dont reboot, select advance then choose reboot recovery.. then apply update from sdcard choose cwm, install zip from sdcard, choose zip, find your stock kernel.zip then install.. after install, reboot system, done..

The previous custom rom.you installed probably installed a custom kernel that requires 99complete in init.d folder to bootand obviously that file doesnt exist in stock rom bro

It's because the custom ROM would have been on a different kernel, so when revert back to the default one, it gets stuck. I'm not exactly sure though.

[Q] Noob Nandroid Restore Question

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..

So, how do i restore a rom?

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
