I have made a CWR backup of my rooted 1.1 stock rom with all my installed apps. I tried out the new 1.2 update and then tried to restore my backup. Everytime I connect to Wifi I get a message about problem authinticating and having to reflash to stock. How can I get my backup to restore correctly? Wipe data/cache? Won't that take out all my apps? Or am I stuck going back through 1.1 stock, autonooter, install apps/titanium restore?
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?
I made a backup with CWM. to restore everything to the way it was before the update is it safe to restore the ENTIRE restore. or should I leave like boot or something out?
If I take a nandroid backup of 4.3 and if anything ever goes wrong with my system can I just restore the 4.3 backup from a 4.1.2 system? I ask this as its quicker to restore from 4.1.2 with root and recovery than to then go through re-installing existenz again before I recover.

Yes, you can shift between android versions.
Great news, thanks Parkside.
Yes without any problems. You can go back and forward with the nandroids
Just had to send my phone for repair (so flashed stock 4.1.2 first. When I get it back and flash my 4.3 nandroid is there anything best to do before/after like clearing dalvik cache etc or is all that covered in the nandroid recovery (i used online nandroid backup app using TWRP as the backup type and default options).
Before trying the new official (but rooted) 5.0, I did a complete nandroid backup of my existing 4.4.4. I don't recall what version of TWRP was used for that backup, but it was fairly current.
I used Odin to flash the new 5.0, and 2.8.6.0 of TWRP.
I've had real issues (i.e. no xposed framework, crashing Pandora, etc) that make me want to step back from 5.0.
Last night, I went to TWRP, did a full Nandroid backup of 5.0 (selecting all possible options, just as I had when I backed up 4.4.4), and let'er rip.
After the backup, I did a restore of the 4.4.4. However, that put me into a constant boot loop on the very first graphic (Samsung Note 4). I tried restoring to factory, wiping everything, fixing permissions, etc. But nothing would get me beyond the boot loop.
Fortunately, I was able to restore the 5.0 backup I had just made, but now I'm stuck.
Is there anything else I can try to get my original 4.4.4 Nandroid to restore? Perhaps trying an older version of TWRP? Ultimately, I'm disappointed enough in 5.0, that I would Odin flash a stock 4.4.4 and rebuild using my Titanium Backup backups. I was just hoping there's a good workaround to the boot loop issue before I waste a day doing that.
When I downgraded from lollipop, I had to Odin stock nk4 before restoring my nandroid from TWRP. I tried to restore directly but it didn't work for me. Restore works flawless after Odin back to stock nk4 with TWRP recovery. Hope this helps.

That sounds encouraging. When it didn't work for you directly, what were the symptoms?
No work-around. You'll have to Odin KikKat firmware to revert.
No twrp back up will work going backwards.
Thanks a ton guys. That was it. I flashed stock, rooted with cf, and installed TWRP - all from Odin w/o ever bringing the phone up. Then restored from within TWRP, and first go, it all came back. Heroes... all of you.
Thx.

Another tip. If you're going to restore a backup or flash a custom ROM after Odin stock firmware, you don't need to cf auto root. Just Odin flash twrp and you'll be good to go.
