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.
When you do a backup via ClockworkMod recovery, are the efs files included?
e.g. Theoretically would restoring a nandroid backup fix a broken IMEI?
I've searched and found conflicting reports.
Many thanks
push it really would love to know if it would restore it!

it really depends on how you made your nadroid back-up.
there are a couple of options when doing a nandroid back up.
if you select the "ALL" method then it will back up your system files as well as your EFS folder.
go try making a back up to see it for yourself via cwm.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to create a backup, but it seems my recovery is 3e rather than 2e so I can't. From what I've read I need a modified kernel with 2e. Does that mean I need to risk a flash before I can even backup?

wait.. back up a bit.. you said your were using clockworkmod recovery.. but now you're stating that you are using 3e recovery.
i was giving you instructions on how to do a nandroid back up in cwm recovery. i haven't touched 2e and 3e in ages.
go get cwm recovery and do the back up there.

If you look at the list on the 1. page, there's no efs.img, meaning you don't have a backup of /efs.
I think in order for cwm to take backup of efs, you have to use the newest custom kernels, as they include cwm customised for I9000. If you use the backup option on Rom Manager you'll have problems later.
I see i just scripted it to my pc and external sd perhaps thinking about putting it in a swizerland vault ;-)

Why would Rom Manager give me problems?
No idea i never used it cwm is easy to use and i allways backup there ...

ClockWorkMod Recovery does not support backing up of /efs partition yet. You should do it manually.
Is it possible to extract only /efs from the nandroid backup and more important to me, will an "old" backup do the job to restore an imei.
Re efs backup
Use online nandroid manager it backs up efs and whatever else you want. You can choose or let it do it's thing. :cyclops:

quite a bit of time past this post, so does CWM supports /efc backup when I do nandroid now?

If you backup whole build, yes it does.
It is nevertheless a good idea to backup your efs folder separately, by using ADB or with terminal emulator.
Hey guys. I have a question. I have flashed mcr rom on my o2x recently but before flashing, i saved a backup in cwm.
Now that i want to flash back to stock rom and kernel and the exact same original settings and rom, can i just restore using cwm or what do i do?
I am from Singapore using Starhub.
Thanks guys

The main problem is that MCR will have converted your partition to ext4, which the stock ROM can't read. As far as I understand, there are two options
1. Use http://android.modaco.com/content/l...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/ but make sure you have the backup on your SD card, so before you reboot, you can restore it (if you reboot without restoring, bad things happen).
2. Use nvflash to put the stock ROM back on, and then restore your CWM backup.
But. . . someone who has done this may be able to confirm - if you want to be extra safe, check in the MCR thread.
Thnks for the reply! So cwm is actually not really a rom backup image?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
It is, but because the disk format is changed when you install MCR, I don't think you can restore it, without changing the disk format back first (I guess it depends how low level the image goes, maybe?)

Pretty sure NAND restore would be fine.
I see.
So by right what i have to do essentially is to:
1. Convert back to EXT3.
2. Make sure my NANDRIOD backup is in SD Card.
3. Off phone and go into CWM then recover NANDRIOD.
Should be all?
Don't quite understand the nvflash. May i know what is that?
Hello Everybody,
Last week I have made a CWM backup of Stock 4.1.2 with Philz touch recovery and then installed CM 10.2.
Yesterday I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2-signed.zip and rebooted into recovery to restored my previous CWM backup of stock 4.1.2
I did all wipes and restored backup successfully. After rebooted I can see only a black screen with status bar with three icons (battery,time and network).I hve tried for two times but same problem.Then I reinstall CM10.2 using recovery.
I didnt understand where I have mistaken.
Please tell me what to do? I want to restore my backup.
Thanks in advance.

Some where in misc nandroid settings.
You mean I have to check Preload after restore my cwm backup?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
You have to check it before restoring the backup as stock 4.1.2 uses preload partition for a lot of apks.
I really don't get what you are asking. You have to go to nandroid setting and place x besides include preload.

Hi.
I 'm running SlimSabre on n7000 with kernel Asylum_Omni_4.4.2_kernel_20131227_n7000_additional_governors .
Today I tried to backup the device with TWRP nandroid backup, but during the backup of /data the device rebooted.
I installed temporary a CWM and I was able to backup everything.
So I tried to get rid of TWRP, but if I install CWM (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-n7000.zip) and reboot, the device bootloop. Only re-installing Asylum I get back the TWRP and the device boot.
Anyone had the problem on TWRP nandroid backup ?
Moreover opening the various zip file (CWM, Asylum) I saw that some of them are not only boot.img or recovery.img, but also /bin and /etc are present.
Is there a way to move from TWRP to CWM in a clean way keeping Asyum as kernel ?
In my knowledge moving from TWRP to CWM keeping asylum as your kernel would be impossible....
I also got this issue, if you want I can tell you but the kernel would change....

Just tell me, if you know... the backup done with CWM are ok ?
I mean, the fact that TWRP is not able to backup /data (with or without compression) does not mean that CWM backup will be invalid too, right ?
I can keep TWRP and switch on CWM from time to time only for backup. It's a boring procedure (install CWM, backup, reinstall Asylum) but not impossible.
CWM backups work with CWM only and TWRP's with TWRP only, they can't be intermixed...
And inorder to check a backup, as you are following the long/hefty method above, once install cwm and try to restore your backup throgh it, if it works, then way to go, if it doesn't then try reflashing kernel as well as recovery as well as your ROM.
If everything fails then try to shift to a CM based ROM which uses cwm, as its the best and the most reliable option.
Hope I have helped you ?

...also check and compare your cwm backup in the folder with some previous cwm backup if you have. If everything looks fine and the size of backup is considerable, depending on how much data you have of apps, then the backup should be OK. But this is only JUGAAD and not a confirmation, so do once restore.

First of all thanks for the info.
I remember that CWM (or perhaps PhilZ Touch) can restore TWRP backup (on the advanced option you can choose).
I'm only a little worried because trying to restore a nandroid backup and finding that it's corrupted actually means restore from a previous backup my data, and that's 2 month old.
I've checked the size of the file and they seems ok. They should be some simple tar, so I could try doing untar them and check if they are ok.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
I'll keep the kernel as long as I can. It 's ok and it has SmartassV2 governor that work very well.
