Hi... If I do a nandroid backup then relock my boot loader, flash an ruu then restore the backup, will it restore my device to before the lock and flash? If so how would I back-up so that it doesn't do that?

If you make a nandroid and want to keep it you will need to copy it to your PC before running the RUU. And then copy it back to your internal storage afterwards as the Ruu will wipe your internal storage.
Restoring the nandroid would restore your ROM and apps to as it was before but you will still have the updated firmware. If your old rom and new rom are on the same base i.e both lollipop roms you can restore just the Data partition from your nandroid without effecting the new rom. But this is not recommended it updating from kitkat to lollipop.
You can also use titanium backup to backup your data then restore it to your new rom once you've finished updating. But again you will need to save your titanium backup folder to your PC before using the ruu.
In short if your updating from Lollipop to newer version of lollipop. You can use the Restore Data only from nandroid method.
Kitkat to Lollipop Titanium Backup would be best.

Hi there!
I'm thinking about flashing the new baseband, but I don't want my internal storage to get wiped. I'm thinking about making a nandroid backup from my actual setup, then flashing the new baseband, and then restore the previously made backup.
What do you think? Would it restore the old baseband too, or it would work as I want it to work (it restores the ROM, but doesn't restore the baseband)?
thx

go ahead i wil say. nandroid backup first, den flashing ur baseband and restore ur nandroid backup. it will not return to ur old baseband.
Don't forget after restoring the nandroid backup to flash the appropriate RIL that goes with the baseband. Then you are all set!
I can comfirm, flashed new baseband yesterday then nandroid backup and it stays whit the new one.
If you're on CM7, remember to flash CM7 again after the nandroid restore or it won't boot.

you should not restore one roms data to another one as it will also restore system data too which can cause abnormal issues like wifi/Bluetooth not working or else
you need to set system data manually and you can restore user data with titanium backup
use Titanium Backup to backup apps..when you flash a new rom,just restore apps from Titanium Backup....thats it.......just apps,not apps and data.
if you want to backup rom,then you go with CWM
Hello I have an xperia z c6602 I'm currently using pac man rom with meow kernel
My bootloader is unlocked and I want to go back to stock
I have a CWM backup of my stock rom. And a backup of my TA partition (i read it was useful)
How do I go back to stock? Can I just restore my CWM backup? Or I have to flash through Emma? How do I restore my ta backup?
Can someone be so kind to guide in a newbie way please? (I'm use to play around with Samsung devices. This is really different!)

Hello, I was on pac rom few days ago as well, then i decided to try miui which is based on stock.
So here's the steps:
BACK UP ALL YOUR INTERNAL SD FILES AND FOLDERS because flashing ftf will erase everything inside internal sd, I never did a backup, lost all the chats and messages. :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
copy all the flashable .zip u want to your sd card.
Flash a stock .ftf file .67 / .74 will do, then root it with any method u want
then flash original kernel using flashtool
then reboot str8 to recovery and proceed to do a clean wipe then flash any stock custom rom you want.
let me know if you have any doubts or question here.
My method is
1.Backup everything, photos, messages, app data using titanium backup, literally everything you need.
2.Store backups somewhere safe, especially titanium backup file(the whole thing).
3.Flash back stock rom and wiping everything.
4.Relock bootloader.
5.Now you have a clean phone, root it again and restore titanium backup app datas,
But be sure to only restore games, apps, but not system files, it may causes crash.
6.Restore the rest of them.

Thanks for the replies! Do you know how to restore my ta backup? Or by flashing the stock rom it would be the same? If not. At what part of the process should I do it?

restore ta backup is the last step basically, ( after flashing stock kernel and stock rom)
i think you used the backup ta for windows from one thread if i'm not wrong,
just restore dry run just to make sure the ta is correct and then just restore it
(the phone should be power on like normal, with usb debugging on)
for your concern, cwm backup also can be used, just restore it and it's done, but, the app data and all other things will return to the state during the time you made the backup, so the progress you did in this custom rom wil not be saved, unless you used titanium backup after you restore nandroid.
Excellent! Thanks man I will restore my backup and restore TA. And yes. I used a Windows tool to make the ta backup (don't even know what's that for. I just read it was important) haha

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).
It's possible to make a Android backup of stock rom with TWRP?
All I need to do it's:
Opens tmwrp app
Flash tmwrp through the app
Do a nandroid backaup as always
Right?
