Hello everyone i am going from stock .902 to gummy. This is my first time flashing to a new ROM so I do need a little help.
I already have a nandroid backup and have backed up all my apps with titanium backup.
The download has two links one with gummy and one with gapps. How should i go about installing those two files? I am also confused with safestrap.
All help would be helpful.
Thanks

First, I have to thank the XDA forums helping me come over from my long WinMo background. Mad Props...
Being new to Android and my nexus one, I'm feeling the ROM flashing bug and want to try out a couple of different ROMS but don't want to have to add all of my accounts each time since I use crazy long, nearly impossible to type, passwords.
Is there some way to restore some of the configuration of my N1 between different ROM flashes?
Sorry if this has been covered, but I can't find it. It looks like the data is backed up in my nandroid backups, but I can't seem to find out how to only restore configuration.
Thanks

Take a look at Titanium Backup.
It works really well.
You need to be rooted and superuser in order to use it.
To find out more about adding superuser to a stock ROM, check out this thread at Modaco.
Edit:
Nandroid backups are really "just" disk images afaik.
There's no way that I know of to extract information from them.

Ok, thanks. I am running the backup right now and will give it a try tonight. Worse case, I just restore the nandroid backup and try again.
I've always wondered, what stuff is safe and not safe to restore in Titanium Backup. I've done a full restore when switching between like roms, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be a good idea if you were going from cyanogen to a senseUI rom.
im using the cdma hero with fresh 2.4 rom on it i wanted to move to the new cm6.0.
and i assume the nightly rom on the cm site is for my phone...right? buttttt
i deleted the files for what i believe is my nandroid back up and apparently never put them on my computer....is there a way to get around this? or am i screwed?? do i have to unroot? then root, flash?
is there a 1 click root?
AND idk how to get out of root..so a link to a guide or maybe a quick way to do it would be nice...thank you for all the help. if you need more info in order to assist ill be glad to tell you.
I'm confused. Did you already flash CM6 or do you want to? If you haven't why don't you just do another nandroid backup. If you already flashed CM 6 and are trying to get back to Fresh, then you are SOL.
Yes, there is a 1-click root, but I forgot where I saw it at.
Thread moved in Hero CDMA Q&A.
Well I'm on fresh right now. I want to move to cm 6. Do I always have to do a nandroid restore when flashing a new Rom? I assumed you did.
But I cannot do a nandroid restore bc it tell me "cannot open directory no files found"

No these are the steps to move to cm6
1. Nandroid backup (when people say nandroid first they mean a backup).
1.5 update your prl, radio, profile if they are out of date (optional)
2. wipe dalvik and factory wipe phone.
3. flash new rom.
4. enjoy.
Here are the CM6 nightlies for the CDMA Hero. If you perform a nandroid backup you are copying your system in the exact state that it is so that if something happens you can revert back to it. When you perform a nandroid restore you are reverting back to the state at which you ran the nandroid backup. Most people recommend doing a nandroid backup before flashing a new rom. You do not do a nandroid restore when flashing a new rom. Just make sure you do a full wipe and wipe dalvik before flashing a new rom.
Ooh okay wow that's gonna help! can i update the prl and all that by just going system updates? and updating there?

Yes but only in Sense Roms CM6 and AOSP roms dont have this functionality (keep your last fresh nandroid for this purpose). Before you move to CM6 update all of that and then flash CM6. Then anytime you need to update any of that stuff in the future (prl, pri, profile) you can do a nadroid and then go back to your Fresh backup and restore then update it and then restore back to cm6.
okay! thank you very much!
and the nightlies? i dont mind using experimental roms as long as i can use like rom manager to just update it i dont wanna flash a new rom every day..
Hi I have just rooted my Legend and installed Cyanogen mod and its all running lovely.... I notice that the nightly builds come out quite regularly.
My question is this....
What is the best way to install the new ROM?
What is the easiest way to get all my settings/ installed apps back? Is there a nice and easy way of backing up everything so that I can install the new ROM and then reinstate everything?
Thanks in advance for any useful info.

Hi ,
One software for all : Rom Manager
With it you can :
backup & restore all your phone (from app or from recovery menu in nandroid area)
It also allow you to download and install other ROM like nightly build
Bye
Not sure if that is what the question meant? I thought they wanted to know how to reload all apps and settings on the new rom, not just how to recover back to the old rom.
I thought titanium backup would be the go, but I myself am still getting the hang of this whole rom flashing thing.

If it is just for restoring installed apps, then Titanium Backup would be the best way for me.

Nand backup from recovery menu for safety, titanium for apps.. Btw: questions shuld be posted in general not in dev..
After rooting 2.2.1/FRG83d w/ superoneclick how do make nandroid back up?
Noob here. I agree. I rooted with SuperOneClick and overclocking the SetCPU, now the next step is a Nandroid backup. Anything I've found is actually kinda old and does not relate to 2.2.1/FRG83D.

Well you can but its always best to do one before you install a different rom. Are you planning one installing a different rom?
nandroid back up
After looking and looking, I think rom manager has this built into it. They use clockworkmod recovery to do this, instead of sprecovery. The pro's out there can correct me if I'm wrong and I hope they do!!
^Yes. Download rom manager from the market & flash Clockwork or spr. Boot into your new recovery & make a nandroid backup.
Hello everyone!
Haven't been on these boards for a while, but I thought it was time that I update my trusty razr to Kitkat. I'm very much a noob when it comes to these things, so I just wanted to make sure I had the process right and run it by the experts here, and hopefully clear things up for other people in my situation. Here goes!
*As of right now I'm on KREAT0R'S KTR-ROM, with CWM as my recovery*
1. Download retail Brasil stock rom
2. Flash stock rom over KTR through RSD Lite
3. Install TWRP over CWM through Flashify app
4. Restore the backup created by ManoBros on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/razr-i/development/kitkat-motorola-razr-debloated-4-4-2-rom-t2941026
5. Success?
So, would this process work? Again, total noob here so please feel free to correct anything I *hypothetically* did wrong or missed. Thanks in advance everyone!

as you are in a unlocked bootloader and custom recovery
you only need install TWRP, ( i always install in FASTBOOT mode, ) is some like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img
make a bakup of you data
and restore the KK backup.
Wow there's no way it's that easy! I was thinking that I'd need to flash stock Brasil first, since my Jb version is based on EU. Would I still need to flash the stock Brasil or just go straight to restoring the KK backup?
Many thanks for your thread by the way ManoBros, been waiting for KK update page w/ instructions!
just restore the kk backup, i come from KREAT0R'S KTR-ROM too..
if something wrong, then flash stock brasil and start again.
Okay! Just tried flashing Kitkat, and I can confirm everything works! Much easier than I expected, especially with the Flashify app. Many thanks!
