i'm just wondering, i did a search of the forums and didn't find anything but sorry if this has been posted or asked and answered, when i am restoring a nandroid back up do i have to flash the kernel through fastboot before restoring or does nandroid restore that as well?
I believe you'd need to flash the kernel as well that was for that nandroid back up.

Yes, depending on the rom you will need to flash the kernel before you flash the rom or else you will get a boot loop.
Thank you very much. both of you.

When you do a Nandriod back does that also flash the original rom the backup was made on or do you need to do that seperately?
Yes it does, a Nandroid backup is basically a full, complete backup of your phone. That's why its always a good idea to do it before flashing a new ROM because if it doesn't work,. You can go back easy.

ive been searching every where on how to do this with out reflashing my rom. i did a nandroid but i updated the recovery so i cant use that it gives me some suggestion to do it via adb. if there is no other way to get it back i guess i will go about it that way but if there is a apk available that will be much more appreciated!

will give it a shot thanks
EDIT: Works great! thank you so much
Glad it's resolved, but I don't see why an updated recovery would preclude you from restoring the nandroid backup. In Clockwork recovery you can go to Advanced Restore and restore only the System partition from the recent backup.

You can also flash another custom recovery from ROM Manager...

wouldn't the restore overwrite the current recovery in place?

Recovery is not part of the system partition, and in typical nandroid backups it is not even imaged as part of the backup.
Tried link in OP, just goes to Drop Box login.??
That's because I remove the file after a while...

@danger-rat, Thanks for putting it up again. Got it now.
Is it possible to do a nandroid restore through ADB, terminal or anything else?
I've got some serious issues with my milestone, which re-flashing doesn't fix. I'm hoping that a doing a nandroid restore will fix this for me.
I can't access recovery at all at the moment, trying to locks up the phone, making it apparently dead, no logo, no nothing. Pulling the battery for 5 days, gets it going again.
I'm currently using the GOT 2.2 (it's the only one I could actually get to boot) and its rooted with SuperOneClick.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
Yes, you can use the fastboot utility (in the sdk) to flash individual partitions. Depending on which nandroid version your backup was made with, it should work.
But why bother? Just use rsd to flash you phone back to stock. Test everything out and then rsd the vulnerable recovery again in order to get OR and custom roms.
Otherwise you will be testing and troubleshooting until the cows come home...

Thanks for the info, I'll try that tomorrow.
As the the reason why, I've already tried to flash back to stock through rsd, and reflash the bootloader, and the vulnerable recovery, yet the problem persists.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi to all!
Well, yesterday i was using xGin 6.2, but trying something, my phone got stuck at boot, and i was not able no enter xRecovery or CWM recovery. So, i restored my phone with PC Companion, and i'm now in stock rom.
But, when i was on xGin, i've made a backup of that rom. What happens if i go to my CWM recovery that i've installed on stock rom, and i restore the xGin backup? can i do that? is that possible?
waiting for a response
Yeah, sure! That's what backups are for!

But now that you've found the path to PC Companion (enlightenment!), wouldn't it have been more fun to try restoring the backup then ask for help should things not go as planned? It helps the learning curve.

Exactly! I dont know about the rom you mentioned, so if it is based on custom kernel i think you should flash the kernel first or else you will brick your phone again...

I did read well (though you rhetorical question smarts of sarcasm - I'm merely trying to help).
Quite a number of kernels have recovery built into them. It's as simple as:
- flashing a kernel with recovery
- restoring your backup
- flashing the kernel compatible with your ROM (if the current one isn't)
- booting your ROM!
Unless your ROM is one of those that give hell when trying to restore from backups (I've encountered a few of such; won't say no names)
Hi Guys,
I currently have two HTC ONE's on Rogers. One is totally stock, and the other is unlocked with ARHD. What I'm looking to do is return the unlocked phone to totally stock without an RUU since it doesn't exist for Rogers yet... I want to do this not only for myself, but a good handfull of other users on here who want a stock Rogers nandroid + recovery to return to stock.
My logic says that on the stock phone, i should
1. Unlock the boot loader
2. Soft boot to CWM recovery
3. Take a full nandroid
4. use ADB to backup the stock recovery
5. restore it all on the unlocked device
Problem is, I really don't know how to do steps 4-5 technically. I can unlock and softboot into cwm, but how do i backup the stock recovery from there? and then how do i flash it to my ARHD phone etc? I've searched and searched and searched and really can't find all of the answers and i don't want to piece too many things together and screw it up.
Need some help, Thanks!
In the stock phone, after flash of CWM, do a nandroid backup, this is saved on sd.
You can mount the sd with CWM copy the backup to pc and after restore it in the phone with ARHD
I would suggest you read mike1986 guide

I've read Mike's guide, its good - but doesn't touch on backing up a stock recovery from a stock phone. Doing a nandroid backup doesn't backup factory recovery either, as far as I know.

I thought CWM didn't backup stock recovery partition? The whole goal of this is to have a copy of the original Rogers recovery that is unavailable to us at the moment.
