Can i restore a Nandroid to another device?

Im having my GS3 replaced due to dead pixels, and i was wondering if its safe to restore a nandroid to another device of the same model?

I don't see why not. Could always restore just selective parts, i.e. the data partition if you're not sure about it.

Making a copy of my system to recover later?

Hey guys,
I hope you're all doing great. So my problem here is that I cracked my Note 2 (tmobile) screen, talked to samsung, they said they will fix it but at the same time they have to erase everything on the system. So since I have so much saved on it and i literally use it for everything. I was wondering if there is a way to back up an exact image of the system which I can save on my laptop and I can recover later?
I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you.:good:

Make a nandroid with clockwork mod or twrp and copy your /sd folder to your external sd Make sure the nandroid backup is also on your extsd.... or copy it all to your laptop.

Looks like I have three in there. When I tried to delete the oldest one it wouldn't let me.
Thanks for the reply

Any old file manager should allow you to delete twrp backups.
As to backup size it entirely depends on what rom you are running, and how much stuff you have.

I agree with the above posts. I take my old nandroids and move them on to my PC, just in case.

Your main problem is that you are using the wrong ROM with your phone. You should be using the d2att roms and not the metro pcs one. As far as your memory issues I don't know but I would start by flashing the correct ROM to your phone and see if that doesn't help...

OK thanks for the tips
