This is probably a stupid question, but if I have a nandroid of CM10 and Blazer, can I switch between the two anytime by:
Wipe factory data reset
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Restore (CM10 or Blazer) nandroid
Or is there a better/safer way?
Thanks

Yep, good for updating PRL/Profile when going back to a TW rom.
So there will be no problems switching between AOSP and TW nandroIds?
I was reading elsewhere that the kernel can cause issues, is this true? (I was searching/reading through old topcís)
And I'm asking because I really would like to understand it, thanks!

After i root my phone, i wipe everything to install a new rom and i wipe the wimax because it said in the new rom that wimax was included. After that i tried installing new wimax but still not work it tells me 4g antenna is on but it doesn't connect. Please help me out.
Download Wimax key checker from the market to see if you still have your keys
Sent from my Gruesomes Rom using XDA App
You should not wipe the wimax partition when flashing a ROM. A rom can support wimax but it can not include a copy of the wimax partition. The data contained there is unique for each phone and contains your wimax keys. If you want to get 4G working again you will have to restore a nandroid of your wimax partition.
Thank you guys for the help. Hey evo4gnoob i tried the app and it said (Sorry, your wimax rsa key is missing) what should i do. And m20120 how can i do a nandroid am new to this thing of rooting. is nandroid a restore of my stock rom?

what i recommend doing is to unroot your phone and try taking it to sprint and say your 4g stopped connecting or you could just forget about 4g. I have full 4g where i live but i dont use it because it kills your battery really fast and i have wifi at my house and have really good 3g speeds so there is no need for 4g.
Thank u very much men thats what i was going to do so am going to do that thank you very much

Yes it will keep apps intact and it will also wipe what's necessary on its own. Make sure you make a nandroid though incase there are some issues.

Ok man I've been helpful up until now but you seriously need to look at the wikis for our device and google what a nandroid backup is. I learned all of the terms and stuff by myself. We here at XDA are happy to help but not spoon feed information. However, a nandroid is a backup you make in cwm

Hey XDA! I need some help. I am trying to recover 3 Images that I really need. I backed up using clockworkmod backup, before I installed Darkside ICS. Is it possible to get those images from the nandroid backup?

this seems to cause a issue for my gs2 goes into a boot loop
so im not really from around these parts but my girlfriend has this phone, and doesn't want root but would like to have a nandroid backup, is there any problems with odin'ing cwm and not flashing su, and just leaving the phone unrooted? or is that a horrible idea?
the phone is tmobile stock w/ the most recent ics update btw
also, sorry if this has been asked, i'm sorry.. but I looked around and didn't see this question posted anywhere, but
thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

My only question would be...why bother?
Edit: if it's for back up reasons, just backup to Google and she's all good.

Mostly for experimental purposes.. I've never had a phone that is so easy to flash a custom recovery without rooting.. but also because we want to backup more than just contacts and calendars..
I was just wondering if it's a bad idea to flash the recovery and not root the device

I'm new to installing roms on the s3. I've had many different roms on my old Desire so I'm not entirely new to this, just had a few questions.
How easy is it to lose your imei number when flashing a new rom?
Is it dependent on anything specific?
Easy to fix if it does happen?
Anything else I should be worried about before flashing?
I'm looking at testing out cm10.1 and Task's rom as well as a few kernels.
Thanks.

Imei loss is random.
Best thing to do is to back it up. Easier to back up than to inject it back in manually. (Still not overly difficult but always have a backup)
Nothing to really worry about. Just don't flash a ROM not intended for your phone.

So say im just stock att and rooted, and wanted to flash say csrom. do u think i would lose my imei? I had a gs3 last year. I flashed cm10 from the stock rom, then two days later flashed another rom cant rem which one. thats when i lost my Imei. fixed it. then just used my one x. til last week when i got another gs3.. its rooted and and stock right now. guess i just need to back up etc. before flashing just to be sure. etc..
So I guess this is just a problem we sometimes need to live with? Just back it up and restore as needed.

Sounds like it. I have been flashing roms and since my first android, htc hero.. never had a bricked phone or anything etc.. before that win mobile, again never had any issues. as long as you read and pay attention all will be good. I want to flash a rom on this s3 but gotta find the time to back up and such. kinda hard with a wife that's a RN working 12 hour shifts and 3 kids lol..
Yea, same here. I've flashed so many roms and kernels on my old s3. Had no worries ever about changing the partition table sizes and am familiar with adb just haven't found the time to look into all of the s3 stuff yet. I've had the phone since launch but just rooted it for the first time a few days ago.

custom i.e not based on a samsung ROM. It's not common but more common going from custom (aosp, aokp,CM) to any TW type ROM. Just back it up anyway, even though you more than likely will never have to worry about loosing it.

You can check your build prop or just flash a ROM. It should work. Or flash that file anyway.
