Custom Rom Help Needed

Helo All,
I have motorola milestone running on 2.1, After several days of work I am able to know how to root it, how to flash Only-Recovery SBF file and finally able to go in open recovery. My question is can any one tell me how can I load custom rom from open recovery ? I am trying to load MotoFrenzy Android 2.2 FroYo and according to the article which I am following I need to copy the rom into /nandroid/adbrecovery folder on your SD card and use the restore option via nandroid in open recovery. but when I did this I can only see there to restore the backup which I have created. Can anyone pls guide me on this. I dont need any links if anyone have enough time pls reply me here the process also tell me which is the bestest Froyo Rom to date for Motorola Milestone ?
Thanks in adavcnce guys for your help
Imran

I think the path /nandroid/adbrecovery/YourROM/ is the old directory structure.
In the newer Open Recovery, you would put it in /nandroid/openrecovery/YourROM/
Note that "YourROM" is a folder

if you dont understand u could make a backup from your current rom and then u can see the path in /sdcard/nandroid/open recovery

Thanks guys now I can see Motofrenzy.zip into restore options but I have tried to restore the ROM after wiping data, cache and Dalvik cache. Its did the processed in 2 sec and show me message restore done successfully. But when I have rebooted phone its has the old Version nothing happenned any idea ?
Thanks

I am not overly familiar with Motofrenzy, but are you sure it is a nandroid backup? If so, did you extract from the zip?
A Nandroid backup (to be restored from the nandroid menu) is supposed to be a folder with .img files and MD5 hashes.
Most ROMs in .zip format are to be flashed from the UPDATE from zip file menu of OR. These files belong in the OpenRecovery/updates menu.
Please double check your instructions. I dont think you can nandroid "restore" a zip.

Just check motofrenzy instructions. It is a nandroid backup and you need to extract the folder (not place the zip) in the right folder (listed in the threat). Ths instructions are using the older folder tree.
Motofrenzy updates are flashed in the update.zip format, but there are none at the moment.
Crazy question: why that ROM? I know nothing about it but the instructions look dated and the thread doesnt look very active anymore?
Why not the recent froyo leak or CM6/CM7?

Thanks for the help brother. I flashed the first rom in my milestone regarding the rom I used it just to know that how to flash a custom rom on it regarding the rom Can u pls give me the link of latest froyo leak or CM6/CM7 Rom ?

All of those ROMs have their own threads in the dev section of this forum. Just look at the first page of each thread for instructions.
The motorola leak is a nandroid backup, but it is not a custom rom. The most popular custom rom is probably cyanogen mod (CM).
V6 is based on froyo, v7 on gingerbread. V6 is supposedly more stable, but most ppl are reporting good day to day use in the CM7 thread...it is what is have been using for 2 days.

[Q] Nandroid backup

Hi all
Is Nandroid backing up all the apps I've got at that moment? Or it just saves system files?
Like a complete and exact "photo" or are there things that I should do on my own if I mean to recover exactly as it was...
I assume that no wipe is necessary...
Thanks!

What's the truth about Nandroid backup?!
i guess there's no need to open a new topic, because i got kinda the same question
before you guys start to redirect me to the "search" function, i want to assure you that i have been using it, but i have found myself in a very strange situation, one question, two different answers... and because i'm new to the whole root stuff, i want to learn everything correctly before starting to make modifications to my phone
The question is: Nandroid backup, does it also back up the kernel or not?
I mean, if i root and install a custom rom that also comes with a custom kernel, will i be able to use my previous Nandroid backup to restore my phone to the old rom & kernel?
Searching the forums, i have found 2 totally different answers!
Answer 1: Nandroid does not backup the kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806340
Answer 2: Nandroid does backup the kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844352
So, please make me and all of us root noobs understand once and for all, does it backup the kernel or not?, will we be able to restore from a custom rom+kernel in case we need to?

and does it backup apps?

OK...As I understand it....
What does Nandroid Backup?
The ROM Itself..Obviously.
All your system settings, emails, SMSes, etc
All the Apps you have installed, so no need for TB
The Kernel you have installed (though there is controversy about this, and to be honest, I have never restored a nandroid backup when I had a different kernel already installed...however it really doesn't matter since kernels are easy to flash)
What does Nandroid NOT backup - This is VERY IMPORTANT
The modem (not a big deal)
The File System setting (A BIG DEAL)
This I think is where the confusion arises concerning the kernel being included in the nandroid backup. For many people the kernel is all about the lagfix. If you have installed a lagfix on your phone via the kernel, say changing the file system to Ext4, and then flash a Nandroid backup that includes a stock kernel or other kernel that does NOT support Ext4, you are in for a world of hurt...and in this case hurt means endless bootloops.
The way you avoid this is, if you need to flash a Nandroid with a kernel that does not support your lagfix...go into recovery, disable whatever lagfix, tell it when it asks that you wish to REBOOT INTO RECOVERY after the change....then flash the nandroid you wish.
This is why it is very important to keep regular nandroid backups, and to wait and see if a ROM/Kernel are stable for you before applying lagfixes or other tweaks.

So, let me see if i got this right, Nandroid does backup up my current kernel along with my rom, but if i apply any changes (lagfix) to my kernel afterwards or change it with a custom one with lagfix, nandroid won't be able to restore it anymore...
so the whole problem here is that nandroid is not able to backup / restore The File System setting, this being the rfs / ext4 transition
If this is the case, it seems that the Nandroid type backup is not as powerful as i thought, you can't really change from one rom to another in just a few clicks, but then again i guess that all the customs roms already come with some type of lagfix and you can make a nandroid restore between them, the problem would be when you want to revert back to a stock kernel, then you'll have to disable the lagfixes or simply flash a stock kernel and then restore the stock nandroid backup
so, i got this right guys?

Yes as I understand it.
You see Nandroid can't convert your file system or change anything, all it can do is flash a disc image onto your phone. If that image can work with your file system, you are golden. If not, it is like flashing a Mac OS image onto a Windows machine....nothing will work right.
However the good news is that most custom kernels support Ext4...so really the only problem comes when you try to flash back to a stock image...or vice versa.

got it then, thanks for your answers
and, if i still got your attention, maybe one more question
i just downloaded a stock firmware from samfirmwares.com, and all i got is a .tar file, can i use it somehow to flash just the kernel from it or i have to flash the whole firmware?
if i flash the whole firmware, will it also change my PHONE and CSC?, because the .tar file must be put just in the PDA section in odin

Yes, it will flash the PDA, csc, modem and kernel...the whole shooting match. The single file firmwares are designed like that to avoid mismatches and issues. Once you flash it, flash a kernel that supports cwm (I suggest speedmod or something by CHAINFIRE) via odin, then flash a new csc and modem if you wish from recovery.
Remember that installing a new csc will do a factory reset so do it before reinstalling apps.

great stuff man
finally i got enough info and i can start my root & flash procedure, guess i'll also learn a few other tricks along the way, this community is definetly the place to be if you want to learn how to "really use" your device
the whole info about the issues with the Nandroid type backup should be integrated in one of those massive info topics, so the root noobs like me know what they're dealing with

Hey guys i actually used the search button (yay) and this is definitely the most informative one regarding the topic.
However i still have one more question: does it backup files and folders as well? Ie. my Nexus S storage is mainly used up by my videos and music (about 7-10GB) which are in their own folders and not tied to any apps in particular. Hence if it does include those i wouldn't have enough storage space to create a nandroid backup am i right?
Edit: thanks to the search button i didn't realise that i posted on a Galaxy S forum please forgive me, the question should still be relevant to the topic though

As I understand it, it does save folders and files, so yes if you have large data folders on your internal SD it will make GIGANTIC nandroid backups. You may want to store such files one your external SD.
I know that there is a version of CWM that does not backup /data/media in Nandroid on the Galaxy Tab 10.1...perhaps there is something similar that I don't know about for Galaxy phones. Does anyone know?

New to all of this - which ROM do i get?

As the title says, I have had a Xperia X8 for just over a week now and tried to update it (it was 2.1) but the phone kept saying it was the latest, even though I found there to be newer versions on google.
Anyway I have managed to Root my phone, installed xRecovery and Root Explorer. I have backed up the files from xRecovery boot menu, and copied these onto my Windows PC.
I think that is all I needed to do, now I need to install a new update rom but which one? I downloaded from the first post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486# v012 GingerDX, but the file is only 85mb or something, the default ROM i backed up was nearly 350mb!
Please help me, which is the latest ROM to get there seems to be so many and could you please post a link
Thanks

so what...
did you read the all the description?
less apps=less space
other android version=different file size
and i think that it is not the whole rom... just something like a patch...
you people have to read first and then ask...

Before you do anything, what version of android are you on and with what does your baseband end with (last 3 numbers)?

You're good to go. Place GDX in your SD card (but not inside any folders). Boot in xRecovery, install custom zip, select GDX, make a full wipe and reboot. Before you do that, backup your contacts, apps etc. Good luck!
@DarkThanos
It is the whole ROM. There is no patch.

Thank you Chris I will try that

Ok, I got GDX installed, it hung at the load screen but that was because I forgot to wipe it. Then I did the Full Wipe from the xRecovery boot menu and it has loaded on
Will play around with it now, thank you

GingerDX is not as big as a Nandroid backuo, because it contains only the system folder, and it´s a .zip-file, so it´s compressed.

bit lost in "new i9305 what now" thread

I was following this thread here: [IMPORTANT][GUIDE] What to do after you have bought your Galaxy S3 4G GT-I9305? and I got a bit lost in part 6.
I've done following:
1. Kies and drivers and on PC
2. IMEI/NV backed up on PC (USB modes set forth and back)
3.-4. Rooted and CWM recovery installed
5. Nandroid backup taken on external SD
6. Soo I got my backups secured in 2 locations..but what now?.. It says I have to go to part 2 and continue where I left off?
quote:
"Remember where you left off in 2nd step above? Well now you can go back and complete the partition backup of the efs folders. You should be left with 4 backup files for this final section of the backup process >>> http://splashurl.com/o7hwdsr"
But there is no mention of efs folders in part 2-link. I'm confused. I'm not native english speaker, so that messes up things sometimes.
BTW I did install Cerberus ROM at some point (Don't ask me why. Love the features, but don't know if there's any benefit it being flashed).
So I'm Rooted, CWMed and installed Cerberus ROM. I guess I have no stock ROM anymore?
And last: Is there a place you can search stock ROMs?
Edit #X: I found stock rom for what I have in phone. Galaxy S 3 LTE GT-I9305 I9305XXBMI3 Android 4.1.2

My first language is English and I didn't quite get it either. But following all the steps gave me nandroid backup and i think the qcn file is good enough for you to restore. seeing as you managed to flash a rom I guess you're all good. I was following the steps too and after I didn't get that part I just went ahead and flashed ROM, had no problems, maybe it was an edit error and guide maker forgot to add in something?

Difficult but reads as backup EFS to me and its no harm to have more than one backup .
So I'm Rooted, CWMed and installed Cerberus ROM. I guess I have no stock ROM anymore?
Correct.

The problem is that I cannot root my Samsung S Advance (GT-I9070), I am trying to do so with the method mentioned in the quote below. Basically, when I am in the "Recovery Mode" and when I go to the external storage to open the .zip file, the .zip file is not there...
Any clues?

I finally managed to root JB. It is a hassle free process. No kernel changing required.
It doesn't increase the binary counter.
Download here : Root
How to :
1. Download the zip and place it in the root of your sd card.
PS : SD Card is a must.
2. Reboot to the stock recovery.
3. Select install update from external storage.
4. Select the root.zip file.
5. Viola
Enjoy your rooted JB.

Repartition your external SD card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
It is not formating, it is partitioning. Ofcourse backup files from it first.

Hi thank you for the help!
I have found the following app that might do it just with the cellphone:

Going to try it out!
EDIT:
I just finished rooting with the method posted. Thank you for the help, I do not understand why my previous FAT partition did not recognized the .zip file. I tried the method using the MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition and worked as a charm.
Thank you for everything

noob to rooting
hello, I am a complete noob to rooting.
Although i have my s advance ( on stock jelly bean now ) since more then 2 years now, its only now that i have decided to install a custom rom ( kitkat 4.4 , cyanogenmod 11 to be precise ).
I have been reading around and have seen many people flashing new roms losing their imei no, efs, etc and also may sites advising making a nandroid backup of my current stock rom in case i want to return to it. And that we need to root our device to make up a nandroid and to back up our efs and imei no, etc.
Have also read thtat to go back to stock ROM after rooting, Supersu ( already comes with the package needed to root ) can help me do it just by clicking some buttons ( as easy as that )
So I had decided to root my device to get all the above and came to Shaan`s thread describing how to root s advance. And i read about this temp CWM recovery bit and need to partition my drive, etc.
Now my questions are
a) what is this temp CWM and what is the difference between temp CWM and permanent CWM?
b) Can I make a nandroid backup using the temp CWM?? And can i recover my stock rom if i need to get back to it?
c) Do i need to make a partition using this temp CWM? If so can i go back to the state of stock ROM when i want to revert to it?
d) CAn i make two different backup recoveries ? one of stock ROM and second of debloated rom ( i would like to get rid of samsung apps .
e) Where does the nandroid backup / recovery get stored on the phone?? on internal memory or external memory?? ( i have only a 1 gb micro sd card )?
f) after rooting and doing all of the above can i flash cm 11 kitkat rom or i need to get to unrooted status to do that??
Thanks in advance for the answers and sorry for all the noob questions.

To answer of points a - e is here.
To answer the points f: to be rooted, and already installed CWM while. Or if you want to install a permanently CWM when the stock ROM, then you must install a custom kernel After that, you can flash the CM11 or AOSP ROM.

the link provided was really helpful in clearing a lot of things except
a) what exactly is the difference between temp cwm and permanent cwm. Can i make a backup ( make a nandroid backup ) and make a recovery of the same in case i want to revert to it afterwards ?? ( I understand i will need to install the temp cwm again to do so ).
But will it give me a back up to make that recovery ??
And thanks a lot TPD-21

Of course you can make a backup since the first of installing CWM-temporary, until the permanent CWM. So the conclusion is that: CWM installed while in the stock ROM can be made to:
a). Make nandroid backup.
b). Restoring a backup Custom ROM and stock ROM and of course it's also included CWM.
c). As long as your device is rooted, and as long as it also CWM temporary or permanent at the time still in stock ROM can still be alive and doing everything you want.

Of course you can make a backup since the first of installing CWM-temporary, until the permanent CWM. So the conclusion is that: CWM installed while in the stock ROM can be made to:
a). Make nandroid backup.
b). Restoring a backup Custom ROM and stock ROM and of course it's also included CWM.
c). As long as your device is rooted, and as long as it also CWM temporary or permanent at the time still in stock ROM can still be alive and doing everything you want.
