Thanks to Mike919 we now have a clockwork recovery backup that you can recover to your phone.
What does this give me? well it gives you a way to restore your phone to its default state but it has already been rooted and deodexed.
If you dont know what root or deodexed are then please search around the forums. I'm sorry but i simply dont have the time to answer a thousand questions.
How do i use this?
Well it's very simple.
Unzip the file
On your sdcard make a folder in sdcard\clockworkmod\backup with todays date on it like \sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\2010-08-23.23.30.41
Extract the contents of This File into that folder. There should be 5 files inside when you are done.
Install Koush's Clockwork recovery (if you haven't already)
Boot into Koush's recovery
Choose restore, then navigate to the folder you created earlier
Choose restore. Then follow the instructions on the screen.
When you reboot you will have a totally clean system, with Froyo 2.2, already rooted. and fully deodexed.
I can this tell you that this does work. I have done it myself. I also know of one other person that has done it with no problems.
Please grab the file while you can, who knows how long this will stay up.
oh, also it has a black bar with transparency. Other versions will follow i'm sure you can always replace your framework-res.apk and services.jar if you don't like it.
again search alldroid if you need help with this.

Awesome thank you Mike
Stupid question but you know its gonna be asked.... you need to be on 2.2 before applying the 2.2 nandroid correct?
Yeah.

If we wipe, flash this, then nandroid our original 2.2 data partiton but keep the new deodexed system partition we will be all set correct?

@mach330: just restore using provided files. I didn't wipe, was on rooted leaked froyo.
thanks...so it retains all our stuff? aight...gonna try this out in a bit. been having problems with nandroid backup on froyo. didn't wanna go to sbf flash to do this again. i'm hoping this will fix this problem.
NO! It WILL install a fresh froyo build. This will probably come late to you though...
ok thanks...hmm..now i'm debating. you think this will fix my nandroid backup problem?
Do an advanced restore and only redo the system partition not the data and you'll keep your data and get the improved system files
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
crap...i guess i answered my own question. tried to restore only the system and i get:
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblkp1)
(Device or resource is busy)
Can't mount /sdcard
Does this mean i gotta do an sbf flash?

Can anyone confirm if this will work or not? So far we've gotten two conflicting answers.
So since I was born yesterday.....
What's the difference between this and the root/2.2 leak I did the other day?. Is this blur free in all ways? Cause that's the only reason I would wipe and go through all those proper steps is to be 100% blur free.

yes, i can confirm. works like a charm.
Nandroid backups on the D3 aren't the fastest right now, but with a simple and quick tweak, we can make them much, much faster.
During the backup/restore, clockword recovery shows each individual file being copied. By turning this off, it drastically improves backup/restore times. It'll still say backup up /system, or /data, it just won't show the individual file. In order to remove the nandroid progress stats, you need to create two files using adb or terminal emulator.
ADB or Terminal Emulator​1) type- (may need to do "adb shell" first)
Code:
echo "" > /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
Press enter
2) type
Code:
echo "" > /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
Press enter
3) Done!
Hint- to check to make sure it created the files, navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod and see if there's a .hidenandroidprogress file. Also check in /sdcard-ext/clockworkmod for the same file.
Can't we just create the files manually instead of going through the trouble of using adb?
Yup. I used a terminal emulator on my phone since I didn't feel like taking the time to do it.

Thanks for this. I was wondering why backup/restore was so much slower on the D3 than on my OG Droid - synchronous IO strikes again.
FYI,
I removed the detailed progress bar from the upcoming Safestrap 1.0. The wait was just too long to even have that option enabled.
Excellent post, thanks a lot for sharing this tip.
Edit: I created both files and then rebooted into Recovery and started a backup. I still see each file being named as well as the progress bar. Did not seem to work for me...

You'll still see the actually progress bar. It just won't show each individual file. But that's weird. Ill see what I can find out.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Definitely weird, I will delete the files and try to create them again to see if that helps. FYI, I used Android Terminal Emulator to create the files using the commands you posted.

Wow, had a temporary lapse of reason earlier... Your typo of the comma in your last comment made me realize my own typo in typing /.hideandroidprogress instead of ./hidenandroidprogress . Backups are much, much faster now.
Huge difference!
I'm not sure if this is where I should post this but... When making a backup with CWM bootstrap(Not Safestrap) does it backup the /preinstall stuff too? I ask because I tried using the safestrap to flash a compatible rom and didnt backup and the rom wasnt functioning properly. I managed to recover back to my ogblur i was running prior but i wanted to know if my /preinstall was reverted and if not do I have anything to worry about with it not being how it was originally?

Running gingervolt 1.2, great rom, ran both oneclick root methods...zerglings etc...the esteem method says the phones been rooted. MT's method runs through the root procedure...then afterwards, I manually update superuser to 3.03, because niether of those methods will do that. Still when attempting to write a boot animation zip to the /system/media folder, I get the error "sytsem is read only"....
not sure if the root isn't taking....any help is greatly appreciated
What are you using to write the boot animation? Also, If you are using Root Explorer make sure you mount /system R/W. I believe it is in the top right corner. I've never used it :/ Just heard from people with it

You have root. Make sure you mount the system folder as read/write (R/W) before you try to change anything. It defaults as read only. If you're using Root Explorer it's in the upper right corner.

Just as info I'm not sure why but using
adb remount has never worked for me the best and easiest way to do it us root explorer just rename the original to bootanimation.zip.old and paste the new one in there

Someone flash this and try fastboot right away, don't have bunches of people jumping on this and then realize afterwards that you're off the path.
I am on 902. I downloaded it twice but i can't find it stored on my phone.

Yes. It will download to the "Downloads" folder in the cache folder.

It downloads to the /cache directory on the root not in any folder. There will be 2 files, the update itself and a .crc file with the same name. You must be rooted to access the /cache directory with a file explorer and remember to select to run it later after downloading. The /cache directory is always wiped by the update after it flashes, so you must get the file first before allowing it to run or it will be deleted.
It does not give the option to install later. I can see it in /cache while it is downloading but when it is done it tries to install and says "could not validate package" then the file disappears from /cache.

From what I read on Droid Hive, it's a useless file - an engineering build that no one can use or install.
This is an Engineering Build of .902. This file is of no use to anyone unless they are running pure stock 902.
The way the file is named and signed this is just a testing version.
I FXZ'd to .902, rooted using Motofail, installed cheesecakev2.apk, downloading it now. It does say "GB to ICS" and "Targa"..why would they name it that if it was really just a maintenance build?
I'll let you know if I can get it installed automatically, stock recovery, rsd lite, or otherwise.
Photo attached for anyone curious.
Or motoflashboot.
I'm really anxious to see how this pans out. I need to get to bed instead of watching this thread and prepping to fxz to 902
i need help getting my root back. i've updated to 4.3 but in the process all my pictures/music/personal stuff is gone. in the storage section it's saying that 27gb is still being used so i'm assuming the data is still there but i can't do anything until i get my root back. i've tried to flash a custom recovery through fastboot but i'm getting a reported max download size error. can anyone help out?
I'm new to HTC one, but maybe structure of 4.3 differ from 4.1.
So connect phone to computer, copy all files and search folder/files there.

Sounds like you have been flashing a lot of 4.2.2 roms so you may have a bunch of /0/0/0 folders that could be why you have so little space left

I haven't flashed any roms on this phone. I've been stock since day one. I want to try some data recovery software but I need root to utilize it. I can't get root until I install recovery but I can't do that because I keep getting an error.

well thanks to this fine user i found all of my missing data. i have another quick question however...
i noticed in data/media (which is where all my lost data was located) there is a 0 folder that houses the current contents of the "sdcard". i noticed that /sdcard and data/media/0 are linked together but i'm not sure which is the emulated folder and which is the proper folder. basically what i'm trying to do is restore the contents of the data/media folder to it's proper location. i read that the "0" folder is created for a second user? if that's the case if i move the contents of the "0" folder to the the data/media folder would the "sdcard" folder reflect those changes or would i have to move data/media to "0" instead?
