Is it possible to Nandroid a ROM such as codename android JB or CM10? I tried for codenamed android and didn't quite work
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Did it fail when you were restoring the backup? If so, which recovery were you on? Newer AOSP-based ROMS like those use CWM6 which has a new way of creating nandroid backups. If you're using a non-CWM6 recovery you'll need to flash either the ROM or a kernel with the CWM6 recovery and then restore your backup from there.

That was a great article, good to know stuff. I just installed cwm 6 on my tab2 10.1,the touch version, and it works very well. Was running cwm5 before,. What happens to cwm5 when you install cwm6, do you uninstall one for the other or does it just go over the old version?
Thanks for the info.

I'm not familiar with that device so I can't say, but on the E4GT the recovery is part of the kernel. If you flash a new kernel (by itself or as part of a ROM) you get the recovery that is included with that kernel. It will overwrite the previous one. I believe though that some android devices have a separate recovery partition. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you have link to cwm6??

Restoring Gingerbread Images
I am attempting to use rogue_ET_recovery_1.2.2_FC06 to restore to a Android 2.3 backup. I have tried to restore a couple of backups, in each case, I am getting a MD5 mismatch. Each time I did a OS backup, recovery did create a MD5 sum.
These backups are located on the external sd card.
Are there any tools that can parse the backups and verify MD5 sums?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Known Issues-
-Flashing anything for ICS is risky and could result in bricking your device. It has been said a safe bet is using stock EL26 CWR to flash. By flashing our repack you agree that we are not held liable.

I used odin EL29 + CWM to get back to 2.3.6, but still encountered MD5 mismatch when I attempted to restore several backups of Blazer rom. I finally had to flash via recovery the Blazer rom. I did happen to rename the backup folders at the time of the backups. I read somewhere else in the forum where renames with spaces will clobber MD5 checksum.
Thanks.
I have been using all of his repacked versions to flash themes, app packs, and updates... so that is a huge bit of misinformation there!

Honestly its crazy how many different opinions exist on this topic. Some of the top dogs are saying this kernel / recovery shouldn't be used for flashing roms, others say you can't nandroid from ICS to GB, others say Odin is the only safe way to go...

So since i purchased my beloved phone few months ago i was a truly happy camper....
...until latest ICS happened.
Now the phone is lagging freezing when some apps crash unlike before where crashing app would not freeze the phone for minute or so.
I followed suggestions and performed full reset but it helped for just a moment. Now my phone is worse than anything i had a chance to us before including my previous vibrant which i had to root to make it usable.
I was searching on the web other people opinions and could not find lots of complaints. Maybe it was just too early. Anyway i am rolling back my phone to previous OS version.
What a piece of c*** this ice cream update is? I am starting to have a feeling they are doing this for purpose so you start thing about upgrade to newest latest phone that could carry that useless burden with bunch of bloatware on board and all the bugs they embedded into this new update. What a lame!

All of the people who have been complaining about TDJ's ROM - which of course is very early in its life - should have to run the stock TMO ics before they are allowed to speak.
I'm having very good luck with his UVLE1 based ROM and it will just continue to get better. Can't see ever needing to go back to GB - at least in my case.
Thanks TDJ for the great ICS experience.

Check out AOKP or CM9. AOKP is in the general section while CM9 thread is in the dev thread. Both stable enough for DD's.
Also, that thread won't tell you how to root your phone. You have to do that before you start flashing ROM's etc. Check this out first: Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650908 AND Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27360280&postcount=123.
Rooting your phone won't give you a new ROM, you have to flash that after rooting.
I'd review it a few times first, and then follow it exactly.
Can someone please tell me how I am supposed to flash rooted stock UVLE1. I used an ODIN in the past bit always with tar files. This rooted stock zip file does not seem like something I played with before.

There is a lot of reading to do if you are completely unfamiliar. Here is a start.
Ti Backup
You may need to follow these instructions for rooting.
(Suggested) Flash latest version of CWM (Non-touch) here
Nand backup. (Option in CWM?)
Flash Darkside "superwipe" here
Flash ICS Modem from Mr.X here
Flash Rooted ICS from Mr.X here
Instead of the previous step you could flash just about any other ROM here, such as AOKP.
Flash Darkside "cache wipe" here
Reboot.
Restore select Ti backups.
Ti Backup says its for rooted phones. Mine is not.
What now?

OK, I flashed CWM through ODIN.
I can boot into CWM recovery.
When I try to select
"install zip file from sdcard"
the menu flashes for a moment and resets into
"reboot system now"
so I am unable move forward. Why is it doing it? Is it because the battery is less than 50%?
Hmm...running stock with silky smoothness. Wonder what causes some to have issues.

Did you download the superuser zip to install after flashing recovery?
Edit: Better yet did you download the rooted stock rom from Mr. X thread? The reset was probably because to selected a location that does not have a zip file.

Follow that. It gets you rooted. Pictures and a video.
TWO STEPS .... That is all it takes!
I got it!
There are 2 (TWO) steps to flash rooted ROM like this one:
[ROM] Tmo UVLE1 & Telus TLLE4 ICS Stock Rooted
which by the way is exactly what I wanted.
STEP 1:
Flash CWM using ODIN (initially I flashed touch version which did not work - so I posted *****ng, after reflashing standard 5.2.0.6 works like a charm)
STEP 2:
Put ROM .zip file into sdcard and reboot to recovery
DONE! THAT's IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just can't believe none of you knew this or just did not care to share... what a waste. Google is best, helped me to find required files for CWM and ROM. Searching throughout thousands of posts on XDA is a waste of time. Unless you are already "rooted" ... to your chair.
I rather go to the beach.

Yes before you flash make a nandroid backup in ClockworkMod recovery. If you don't like aokp (highly doubt you'll have this issue) just boot back to recovery and restore nandroid.
EDIT make sure and grab darkside superwipe and cachewipe first. Use these instead of cwm's wipe functions. Superwipe before rom flash cachewipe after any flash. It will save you from a lot of bugs.

Link: Dualboot CM9-on-EMMC for Sprint SGS3
The CM developers are rapidly fixing bugs in the CM9 nightly builds, however it might be a while before CM9 is dependable as a daily driver. Thus Team Epic has created this toolkit of CM9-on-EMMC and FakeCWM to allow both developers and testers to rapidly test standard CM9 .zip's. The phone's standard ROM and kernel are intact so you have a stable ROM to fallback on.
The alternate ROM is stored in /sdcard/multiboot/CM9 of the "internal sdcard" storage. Booting the alternate ROM is temporary. Reboot the phone to return to the standard ROM.
FakeCWM Recovery is used to install, upgrade, and manage CM9-on-EMMC.
If there is demand, we can adapt this CM9-on-EMMC method for other SGS3 LTE variants.
Follow Sprint SGS3 CM on Google+ for the latest development news relevant to this phone.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Really cool cant wait for it to be my daily rom!!!
This is really cool, but IMO the nightly is already mature enough to be used as a daily as long as you can handle a few quirks. Way more stable than some alpha/beta stuff I've used before -- even roms based on stock (which is really sad when you think about it.) Amazing how much progress Team Epic has made so far!

Another thing you can try if fake Red CWM isn't auto-booting: reboot to system, power off + reboot to CWMv5.......flash multi boot file, it'll show the files already configured, then flash fake Red CWM.
Now you can flash your CM9 Nightly (flash GApps0429.zip immediately after for best results.)

Hey all,
I flashed to s-off and rooted 2 days ago. I installed the recovery version that was linked on the Revolutionary website- CWM 4.0.1.4. I keep reading posts referring to Touch recovery and some saying it is required for some ROM flashes. What's the deal? Am I good to go? Thanks
Try searching before posting. Cwm touch is in the development forum, as well as a few other recoveries.

Instructions for flashing are on the page. Any ROM should work fine with whatever recovery you have. I would recommend using 4ext over cwm touch since it's faster and has better options though. Sorry if I came off a bit mean in my first post, the OP wasn't very clear to me.

I cannot upgrade from cwm 4x to 6x. Have to install 5x first?
4ext is better anyway.
I need at least 5x to flash ICS.- This was really what my question was about. I saw a post claiming this and another refuting it. I flashed UKB-X from my current recovery. Proto, you are saying I can flash any ROM from my current version?
BTW- I saw another post that said the reason 6x ran faster nandroids is because it does incremental, not full backups. If that is the case I don,t want it anyway.

You should be able to flash any ROM, ICS or not shouldn't make a difference. UKB is ICS. You don't need to install 5 before 6, flashing a new recovery completely wipes the old one.

I had just contacted the dev before opening youre replies on this thread. His response came back as I was writing this post:
"CWMR 6 has some new backups type which are basically cumulative backups. Those aren't possible to restore with 4ext yet. Backups from earlier versions are perfectly fine."
So it looks like CWM now uses incremental backups and they won't work with 4ext. I think I prefer to have only full backups and from what I hear from you proto and the great reviews in the app market, I will be installing 4ext.
Thanks!
I know there were issues with CM9 not mounting /system in CWM 4,but it may be fixed by now.
You can jump to CWM 6 no problem. Touch recovery is nice, but I'm going back to the standard CWM 6 because aero has it working.

I got a link to this thread by marcmarshall.
There are no known issues with 4ext since a very long time and since I got something like 100.000 users, I'd think that someone would have already reported issues with installing CM9 if there were any.
But anyway, if there are, someone please tell me, because I'm eager to fix any issues asap!
My priority is to keep 4ext bugfree.
