I'm running CM 4.2.15.1 and Amon RA's 1.5.2.
So I'm actually curious what is actually backed-up in a nandroid backup?
Are my apps, settings, call logs and smses being backed up?
Will I get all those back if I were to flash CM's v5.0.7 and do a nandriod restore?
What if I were to flash the ROM to other dev's ROMs?
If you use bart it backs up everything.
nandroid (last time I used it, it may have changed) only backs up the rom.
Code:
bart -s name
for backing up
bart -r name
for restoring
bart -d name
to delete (you can have multiple backups)
Will I get all those back if I were to flash CM's v5.0.7 and do a nandriod restore?

Click to collapse
If you flash a rom and do a restore from nandroid / switchrom / bart you will be back to your old rom, restore puts it all back
yea if you do a nandroid backup it will restore all your settings and info
If you use nandroid on CM-5.0.7 remember to create a /system/sd directory since the new rom uses a /sd-ext instead. The nandroid restore in Amon_Ra's latest recovery 1.6.2 (see my signature) can optionally backup your ext partition but only if you have a /system/sd directory. It backs up the following files:
System
Data
Boot
Cache
Recovery
Misc
ext partition (optional)
and verifies each file integrity with a md5sum check.

i cant see to find a specific answer anywhere. what is the difference between nandroid and BART. is one better than the other? will one completely back up the phone AND the ext partition and restore both at once?
nandroid can do both the system backup and ext backup. you just have to choose which on.e
bart backup your system and ext all at once.
you can have only one bart backup but you can have as many nandroid backups as you want.
I choose Bart for hero ROMs since I use only one hero rom and that suites my needs.
I use nandroid for other roms.
tthank you
Can we make this a sticky? Took me forever to find this thread.
I'm trying to Nand backup my Paragon Rom in Recovery but I'm getting 2 options,
1. Backup DATA: data + dbdata + cache
2. Backup all
also which one do I have to use for recovery,
1. Restore
2. Restore all (be careful!)
also Do I need to disable lagfix before Nand backups?
Thanks a bunch.
Backup all, restore all
Do not have to disable lag fixonly restore this back up if you are on same rom
I have a HTC Dream with EngSPL and CyanogenMod-4.2.15.1
I need more userdata space and I wanted to switch to DangerSPL while keeping all my user data.
Is it possible to do a full nandroid backup, upgrade from EngSPL to DangerSPL and restore the nandroid backup on the resized partitions?
Yes, it's possible to restore, but with DangerSPL you will not have (much?) more space on /data. If you need more space on /data you should try Custom-MTD. A link to the thread can be found in my signature.
Hi guys,
I just flashed a new rom -Stocklite 7.1
This is my first attempt at flashing a ROM so bare with me.
I created a Nandroid backup prior to flashing and I also copied the entire contents of the SD card over to my computer.
I am using Link2SD and an ext partion as well.
Flashed succesfully. However none of my previous apps / data show up, this was slightly unexpected. I attempted to peform a nandroid data only backup to get these by going to recovery mode then advanced data only restore.
But i got an md5 mismatch.
Basically.
I am trying to restore my apps / data and I want to keep the stocklite 7.1 ROM. NOT a full restore.
Any help?
I recommend using titanium backup for backing up your apps. But, you can probably get user apps by coppying/flashing them to where they belong.
Options:
1 go back to stock rom by restoring your stock backup, make a backup using titanium backup, flash stock lite, install titanium backup, restore your apps. To succesfully restore your stock nandroid backup use te ext4 manager app, convert system to rfs, go to recovery, restore.
2 - open your stock backup on your computer with unpacking or iso software (like 7 zip), extract your user apps (apk files), create a flashable zip to flash them to data/app, system/app as needed. You can also flash their libs and data files to data/data and dalvik-cache to data/dalvik-cache. That should restore user apps and their data to internal memory if you don't want to use titanium backup.
You lost all your data..you should have a taken app backups with Titanium Backup,Nandroid isn't enough.
MD5 mismatch is showing up because you changed the name of the backup folder ..
You can open the backup manually, and get all the data.It might or not work,that would depend oon your luck
Thanks for the posts guys!
I just wasn't thinking. I had already taken a titanium backup full backup so thats' all good!
If I have a nandroid backup of cm11 and then went to try out cm12.1 which requires a bigger system partition, would all my partitions get destroyed?
If so, how do I restore the nandroid backup? Would I have to copy it off to a computer, get a rom that boots, copy it back, then boot into recovery to restore?
