I searched around and couldnt find an answer.
Would I be able to gain root on another G1 by upgrading to hard spl and restoring a nandroid backup (besideds userdata) from my rooted one? Then I could add JF's recovery after.
in order for you to flash the new SPL to your phone you would need root and modded recovery image. sorry but that's how it goes
where can I find the latest recovery image with nandroid backup built in?

Ok I have rooted my captivate and un-installed at&t's crappy software and have clockwork recovery installed. 1st question is did Clockwork make a back-up already of my stock rom when I installed it and labeled it "update.zip"? That's what it seems like when i read the directions for it. I made a backup while i was in clockwork recovery just in case. So if i want to restore my phone back to normal do I start clockwork and install that "update.zip" file or the backup I made?
2nd question is if I want to un-root the phone do I just run the one-click unroot option and it brings everything back to normal? Or do i have reinstall all of at&t's crapware then unroot so things do not get messed up? If anyone can help this would be great. Thanks, Jesse

The update.zip is actually the Clockwork Mod Recovery, this is where you have the option to restore your backup, also know as Nandroid. You may need to click on reinstall packages more than once and you will then see the menu for ClockworkMod Recovery. You will find your backup there, just choose backup and restore, you can then choose restore, and you will see the backup you created. You can also restore your backup through the ROM Manager app. Only your Rom is backed up and all of your setting but not the kernel.
To totally restore should you ever use a mod that changes your kernel you should use Odin one click to restore to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 This will remove rooting and restore the AT&T bloatware and set the phone back to how it was out of the box, don't worry about rooting because once you restore your backup ROM you will regain root.
Thanks for the help! Is there a mac version of that odin software to get back to stock firmware? Also is the stock firmware built into that application or do I need to download it from somewhere and place it on my phone through the computer?

It's built in, this version has everything you need it is one click. I don't use Mac but I do know there is a program you can run within Mac to use windows. Head to to Cognition IRC chat and ask the guys there. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=Cognition
I should be getting my replacement from ATT today.
Can I just restore the nandroid image on the new phone through CWM (through the update zip and recovery) or is it best to just re-flash and restore via TiBu?

Second method wud be my choice. Atleast most of us know it works
A nandroid backup will not work from a different ROM version. So, you will not be able to just restore your backup once you get into CWM. You can flash the ROM you had previously, the one you made the backup of and then once that is installed you can restore your backup and you should be like you were.
Hello, I have been searching through forums to find out how to install the clockwork bootstrap and a custom Rom, i came accross a question i can not solve.
Since the CWM is only a bootstrap and is located in the system partion and it is not possible to restore from it if your phone goes into a bootloop then does it also not erase the orginial recovery? Basicly my question is if i get the CWM and a rom will I be able to restore back to the orginial stock OS without bricking my phone? As far as i understand i can because the bootstrap doesnt touch the recovery partion? If this doesnt work is there any other way that i can restore back to stock if i brick/get bootloop???

First, try the linked thread above. Second, you can use the stock recovery (Vol- + power) to do a factory reset. If that doesn't work, you can always reflash a .kdz file.

Do it like muellersmattes sayed. If that doesn't work, you have to flash the stock firmware aka .kdz file.

Hi guys,
Thanks to jcase, we can now root out Razr i without unlocking the bootloader.
However, a locked BL prevents from installing CWM or another custom recovery.
I've googled and found Onandroid and Orange Backup, which are solutions for backing up a rom without a custom recovery.
Is it reliable?
What's the method to restore the created backup?
Can I set the path to the backup? (because our external sdcard is not mount at the standard mount point)
Thanks!

What I usually do is just backup my add data with Titanium Backup cause that the most important stuff.
Everything else can get flashed back.

I actually don't minf losing my app data.
I'm talking about the system, the rom itself.
How can I make a backup of the entire system and restore it with no custom recovery?
I know the stock recovery has an option to flash a zip, but in which format?
I also checked the Onandroid topic, and a custom recovery seems to be needed...

So if I understand correctly, I have no way of making a full nandroid without first flashing a custom recovery (CWM / TWRP) that would perform the actual backup.
So, actually, my nandroid will not be of full stock firmware, but will backup the root & custom recovery instead of original state.
So, in order to make a full restore I'd still need to do what's listed in nkk71's guide.
There is no other way to back up / restore stock phone rom?
Root can be undone and stock recovery restored after running a nandroid to return to full stock.

you can backup without being rooted and all that will be different is the recovery which can easily be downloaded and flashed after returning to stock nandroid backup.
you should check theirs probably already a stock rom for your phone anyway
