[Q] Issues with nandroid restore

Hey guys,
I've been using nandroid since my magic days. With my magic, I've had no problems whatsoever always wiping and doing a restore of my old nandroid backups. However, it does not seem to be the case with my captivate for some reasons.
Here are a few methods I've tried:
1) Factory wipe/data reset using clockwork recovery and restore nandroid (which I did with my magic.. not sure why they don't work)
2) Flash to 2.1 stock and do nandroid restore.
3) Flash to the ROM after a wipe that I want to restore to then do nandroid restore.
All three methods allow me to complete nandroid restore but upon reboot it's just non-stop FC city.
Can anyone guide me? Thank you

Nothing to see here, move along.

Thanks bud you are sooo helpful.

I am not sure but do you only have one backup you are trying to use? Could be an issue with backup. Is three any lag fix in the equation? It sucks but if three worst of it is you can flash the rom but not restore your apps then I guess consider your self lucky

Yep. I disable my lagfixes before doing restores. To be honest it's not that big of a hassle since I can just use tibu pro and do one click restore for apps and restore my settings as well. And nandroid takes so much longer on captivate than magic D: Still it would be nice to always go back..

[Q] How do you run a factory backup?

How do you run a factory rom backup of everything? Without downloading some stupid app, or is there even a way. I am rooted and have clockwork mod, but I am just interested in how to do this?

Well usually we perform a nandroid backup but we can't flash cwm on the thrill yet though so the only thing I know of that we can do is flashing Cwm through Advanced and restore to the original rom/stock rom.

so if you have clockworkmod then you can do it that way?

[Q] nandroid restore of different versions

Hello everybody! I made a cm9 b14 nandroid backup a week ago to try out the new miui mintberry, now if i try to restore the backup i have some problems like no statusbar and random recovery reboots. So I came back to miui and now i m considering doing a nandroid backup of miui mintberry in order to try the new cm9 b15, i wanted to ask you what could have caused the problems described so to avaid them if (after doing the miui backup and flashing the new rom) i will want to go back to miui in the next days. Another question is: do i loose all the saved passwords (gmail wattsapp facebook freesms..) by doing a nandroid backup or they are stored with all the data?
I hope my questions are clear
Thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1 now, and I have ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6.
But I want to restore and Clockwork won't see my backup because it was done in a newer different version 5.0.2.7.
How can I restore my backup ?

to restore your nandroid backup its best to first install the rom you took the back up off.. factory reset your phone and then do a fresh install of the rom you backed up.. after flashing restore the backup..
you won't have any FCs or anything with this method.

Big problems after nandroid restore!

So I flashed CM11 on my dads phone, first taking a backup of the rooted stock that was on there. Now when I restore the backup (after full wipe) It freezes and crashes all the time!. It seems as soon as I touch the phone it stops responding to my touch. However the phone still makes the bubble/water sounds when i hit menu key. Please, please help since this is my dads phone.

Samsung TW based roms stock some apps in the /preload partition so did you use Philz recovery to make nandroid backup and check include preload (located in restore and backup => misc nandroid settings )?
if not then your backup is incomplete and flashing stock rom via odin3 is the best way to revert back.

Ah, my backup doesn't include preload. If I reverted to stock via Odin, would I still be able to restore just data?

After flashing using Odin, rooting using Philz kernel to get cwm, you can do an advanced restore of just data. It might not restore 100% data but should restore enough.
PS. Preload is only used if you had JB earlier.

nandroid backup

It's possible to make a Android backup of stock rom with TWRP?
All I need to do it's:
Opens tmwrp app
Flash tmwrp through the app
Do a nandroid backaup as always
Right?
