To restore from Nandroid Backup - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Trying to restore my HTC One using a Nandroid backup.
Before i try to experiment i just wanted to confirm on the process
boot into recovery
select back up restore option
select restore backup
select the backup you wish to restore and let it do its thing
then reboot
Iam running on cwm recovery v6.0.3.6 so i hope i need to place the file in/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/filename.zip.
can some one please confirm me on the same ?
Thanks in advance.

using nandroid backup and rebooting?

can I go to rcovery use nandroid and then just reboot?. Just curious I dont remember the commands in recovery.
Use cyanogen's latest recovery. ON the recovery menu you can restore your latest backup. I don't remember the syntax for restoring a older backup though.

Nandroid Recovery help

I know i will get killed for this as there are loads of guides to nandroid out there but...
I can't work out how to do a simple 'latest back up' recovery. as listed in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719&highlight=nandroid
Recovering to Your Nandroid Backup
Option 1 (Without a Computer)
Note: This recovery will only recover your latest nandroid backup (the one with the newest timestamp)
Make sure u made a backup and its in the nandroid folder on your sdcard
Boot up your phone in recovery (Turn off, then turn on while holding Home button)
Scroll down to "restore latest backup" and press on it
Let it work
Once its done reboot your phone and you backup will now be restored!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But when i boot in recovery all i see is the option to restart, make a recovery image, wipe, install the update file and hide the menu - no scroling and no restore.
Im lost!
What recovery do you have?
flash to cyan recovery 1.4

[Q]Phone won't reboot

Hey guys,
I used odin to get boot it back up and then I used ClockworkMod to restore backed up data....
After phone said 'restore complete,' I let the phone reboot, but the phone will not reboot
at&t screen pops up and then black out then pops up again then into android recovery mode.
Any ideas?
Could you please provide a little more information about how you got to where you are? (e.g. what rom/kernel/modem/theme you were flashing, what ODIN you used, what version of CWM, etc.) Anything you provide will be helpful in troubleshooting.
Well I had cognitive 4.5.3 installed and I tried restoring using clockmod recovery
the restore wasn't successful and the phone would stay black screened after Galaxy S logo screen
So I turned on odin3 and put my phone on download mode then hit start on odin3
that successfully restored the phone to froyo 2.2 without any of my data
so I tried using clockmod recovery once again to restore the backup
and then... that's where I am
The phone won't boot. It will just go into recovery mode
Here's the message I got after trying to restore once again
--------------------------------
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2

When did you make that nandroid backup? If you made it while on stock, you'll have to go back to stock first, then run the restore command. If on cognition, you'll need to be on the version you were on when you made the backup and restore there.
Here's the link I found on how to return to stock rom

I've done the first part - before the master reset and then tried restoring the backup and that is how I got to where I am right now.
Do I need to factory reset as well?
If I do factory reset, won't that erase the backup file?
Thanks. I really appreciate your help

To answer your question, doing the master clear will erase EVERYTHING stored in the phone's internal memory. Don't do that step now, as you should be able to get out of where you are without doing that.
I think where your problem occurred is that at some point you made a nandroid backup in CWM, and by trying to restore that on stock, it's freaking out. If you can remember what ROM setup you had on your phone when you made the backup, you could try to get back to that setup to use the restore option in CWM.
Before doing any of the things you're doing now, had you made a backup in Titanium Backup?
I do have backup made with Titanium Backup.
apps data and everything that I could backup with Titanium Backup
Will restoring what I had backed up with Titanium Backup and then restoring the system using CWM work?
I am currently at 2.2 Froyo, which was the rom I was using when backing up using CWM
You've flashed 2.2 stock? If so just flash the rom you previously had with cwm then let it boot. After it boots reboot into cwm then perform a restore in cwm. If that doesnt work nand backup might not be good and you will just have to flash stock again and just rub tibu and leave it at that.
**Thing about NAND backups is that you have to use the same system when you restore (i.e. you nand backup usng cognition then you flash another rom when you nand restore its not going to boot).
Thanks guys for the suggestions!
My phone has been saved!

OK fine, I'm stupid but how do I make a backup of the ROM?

OK, I'm rooted and want to make a nandroid backup. I recently upgrade from a Droid Eris where I would just boot into recovery and there was a menu item labeled backup. It would make an image file that I could restore to if I mucked everything up.
I've installed ClockworkMod and Bionic Recovery Bootstrap and even used the recovery menu to install 5.7.893 but I don't see a backup option.
Please be kind and instruct me.
Just go to backup and restore? And wrong section.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Look again, it should be there. If not download Rom manager and re-flash clockwork
OK I finally found a how-to and it now shows the additional menu items in recovery
