I have made nandroid backup on my rooted froyo 2.2.1 and now kies have offered official version of Gingerbread 2.3.3 (JVO) to upgrade.
What will happened if I run nandroid restoration in Gingerbread of that backup made in Froyo?
Softbrick, hardbrick, nothing, partial restoration...?
Is it even possible to run nand between Froyo and Gingerbread?
try to restore only the data with advanced restore in cwm.

I have titanium backup for that.
I'm wondering what will happen if I run full restore?

when i go into recovery mode, and select backup / restore, should i be selecting backup "data" or backup "all"? what is the difference?
I believe backup data will just backup your user apps and basic data on sd. Backup all baghdad up system apps and data as well. Significance is that you would not want to restore all if you were not running the same rom

So if i would like to restore my phone to the state it is in now, would i be doing a backup "Data" or backup "all"?
when i go into recovery -->backup/restore --> backup, it says backup and restore data is recommended, and that backup and restore all was "use at own risk" or something along that line.
If you are looking to restore your current state on rom "x" down the line, our if you are playing with themes and something goes wrong you would restore all. To be honest I am not sure why you would ever restore just data, that is why I use titanium backup.
You would not want to restore a backup from rom x onto rom y
I only do nandroid backups if I am planning on playing with themes

hmm. so I shouldnt be using nandroid backup/restore to get back to where i originally was if i was testing out a different rom?
I think you have me backwards
If you are running phoenix rom, but wanted to try paragon, you could do a nandroid backup of phoenix so that your set up on that rom is saved. Try paragon, but maybe it uss not for you, so you go back to phoenix. now you can restore your nandroid after you reflashed phoenix to get your settings and apps back. You can not restore the phoenix backup while on paragon. Well actually you could but it will likely cause issues
Now if you wanted to play with themes and you try one out and tower phone won't boot. You can go back to recovery and restore to get rid of the theme

So that means i should always "reflash" back to phoenix rom before restoring my backup onto phoenix?
in this case, would i be using the "restore/backup data" or the "restore/backup all" from the recovery menu? like i said earlier, there is a recommendation in the menu to use backup/restore data and a warning with backup/restore all.

Yes you would reflash phoenix
Backup all, I believe the warning is to prevent you from restoring all from one rom to another.
Ok, I have a backup from stock 2.1. I am running paragon which is 2.2.1. If I try to restore my stock backup I will likely get stock in a boot loop and will have to use odin to recover. I believe, note believe, that if I restored just data I would be ok because I would not be restoring any system information. I use titanium to back up my apps, so I do not see a use for the option

I see, still a bit confused because because i have a stock backup 2.2 from "rom manager". When switching between roms before, i would restore my phone back to the rom manager stock backup through recovery menu restore option before flashing it to another rom. That seemed to work fine.
Is there a reason for this? or is the rom manager backup different from a nandroid "backup all"?

No they are the same, may be better if you tell me what toy want to do, I don't know how to explain this in different terms. Restoring your rom manager backup does not qualify as flashing stock if that is what you are doing
Please someone tell me how to backup using nandroid. I've tried many times using ROM Manager but still stuck on recovery 3(e). My captivate run on froyo JI6. Thanks.

Get into recovery using power menu. Then you can use backup/restore to backup the rom.
Hi,
I hope that my experience could help other persons that fall in my situation.
After a try of CM, I couldn't restore my stock backup anymore, the phone hanged up in the lg boot screen.
There were no problems about ext4 partition or wiping or fixing permission.
I was thinking to do a NVflash procedure, but i gave another try: using old modaco CWM recovery. I overwrited CWM 4.2.0.2, performed a wipe, installed the modaco zip ext4->ext3 (i didn't remember if i was ext 3 or 4) and then restore my STOCK backup: EVERYTHING WAS FINE!!!
Maybe there's a problem in the newest CWM during restore a backup, i don't know, but in this way i could restore my original firmware.
Hope that this could be usefull.
Did you do your stock backup with modaco CWM? It has different MD5 checksum than the CWM. Might be the case why you can't restore your backup.
No, I did the stock backup with the original CWM.
I think that the problem is in the restore procedure of the original CWM (4.2.0.2), in fact also the CM restore is impossible, only if you install the zip immediately after the restore. Instead... hangs up.
I find when that happens the best method is to reflash the rom your restoring and just restore the data from your nandroid backup. Always works for me.
confirm this issue with cm & nandroid restore
-----------
This is true, restore and then install the rom. But how if your restore is the stock rom? NVflash? It's not the same.
Fortunally, Modaco CWM solve it without this procedure.
Thanks!!
This solve my problem with my stock nandroid restore. I downgrade CWM to 3.1.4 (did the backup with 3.2.8 version) and now works perfect!!
Finally i could restore my stock rom.
my solution was...
1. nandroid backup of mcr
2. full wipe & installed cm7
3. nandroid restore of mcr
4. installed mcr without wipe (this solved bootloop after restoring)
Hi there!
I'm thinking about flashing the new baseband, but I don't want my internal storage to get wiped. I'm thinking about making a nandroid backup from my actual setup, then flashing the new baseband, and then restore the previously made backup.
What do you think? Would it restore the old baseband too, or it would work as I want it to work (it restores the ROM, but doesn't restore the baseband)?
thx

go ahead i wil say. nandroid backup first, den flashing ur baseband and restore ur nandroid backup. it will not return to ur old baseband.
Don't forget after restoring the nandroid backup to flash the appropriate RIL that goes with the baseband. Then you are all set!
I can comfirm, flashed new baseband yesterday then nandroid backup and it stays whit the new one.
If you're on CM7, remember to flash CM7 again after the nandroid restore or it won't boot.

Hey, I used to run Overcome 4.1 on my SGT. I tried an ICS rom for a few days (this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697589), but I am not satisfied. Question: Can I go back to Overcome by simply restoring my last android backup or do I have to restock and then flash Overcome like the first time I did it?
Thanks!
Yes, backup your internal sd first. you need to get back to non mtd by restocking with pit.
Then you need to install overcome rom.
Then restore.
Having said that..... all my overcome nandroid restore causes non stop FC everywhere.
I had to restore from Titanium Backup instead after fresh overcome.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Do a nandroid & then restock to ext partition and then flash overcome. As priyana said, use titanium backup to restore nandroid, as you cannot restore directly via cwm
after flashing my mob with [Rom][4.4.2][Team D.I.R.T] Dirty Unicorns v6
kies can't detect my mob and i can't restore my back up
i used last version of kies

so can i convert backup files to be used on other valid app
Hmm.. I don't know.. The way I know is,
Go back to stock, restore the backup, make a nandroid backup using cwm recovery, install the new rom, use titanium backup to restore. Keep in mind that data of system apps from touchwiz cannot be restored to omni or cm. So for those use apps like sms backup and restore.
