[Q] Nandroids

What exactly does a Nandroid backup. Is it like creating a Hard Drive image for windows?
After installing CM9RC I want to go back to my previous stock configuration. If I restore my phone with a nandroid, will I recover everything previously installed on my phone? I am assuming the stuff in the sdcard folder gets excluded from the wipe right?
Thanks in advanced,
Aphis

Yup a Nandroid is more or less like a restore point. And yes excluding sdcard.

Yes. Note that a nandroid backups up the system partition, the boot partition, the recovery partition and the userdata partition (excl. /sdcard). It does not back up your radio or bootloader, so if you change those, you will have to flash them separately.

Thanks for the quick response.
That would mean that if before creating the nandroid I had permanently installed CWM and rooted the phone, restoring the nandroid would keep my phone with CWM and root right?

its a snapshot. whatever you had at that moment when it was created is what you will have when you restore to it.

[q] 3.20.401.1 cid:htc e__11 stock rom

Get mine from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

mate i tried this but it made an error when installing zip file on recovery system error what must i do ?

Did you bother to read the whole OP including the part how to restore a nandroid. You don't install a zip from a nandroid backup. You unpack it to the corresponding folders on the sdcsrd and restore it with the backup & restore funtion inside the recovery
And make a full wipe before restoring !

thank u mate i will try this and then i will give feedback

No problem :thumbup:

can't seem to get back to stock (3.20.401.1)

HI,
I have a europen (international) htc one x 32gb, currently running miu 3.5.7
i want to get back to stock and I was looking at the threads about how to do this using a ruu but I'm not sure how to continue:
my cid is E11
my versions is 3.20.401.1
i first wanted to use a nandroid backup but the file here is not on dropbox anymore:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975140
so then i thought to try it with a ruu and this should be the right ruu I think:
OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.20.401.1-3.14.401.31_R_release_314818virsindn3qwws1r2.zip
but it is only 36 MB and there is no executable file in it ...
is there another ruu i can use or another method to get back to stock?
tnx!

That ruu is only an ota which stands for over the air update, I can try and find the right one for you
Edit: I don't think there is an ruu for your version so I think the only way to get back to stock is a nandroid which is not on dropvox anymore as you said.. Mr hofs uploaded it I believe if you can get in contact with him he might still have the nandroid for you
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Thought so, but I can;t find a nandroid nackup either,
the mr hoff ones are no longer active apparently ...

I just wanted to ask if it would be ok to flash the 3.14 recovery
one more question:
I used getRIL and it says this:
RIL: unknown
baseband: 5.1204.162.29
is this ok/normal or is it rom specific (miui)?
and by flashing this backup etc, does this also get the original kernel etc?
my kernel now is 3.1.10n3okernel_v33-gf404256-dirty
so in other words: is everything back to the original and can i be sure i have the right radio etc?

Restore the nandroid and also flash back the boot.img from the nandroid backup. Then you have stock kernel + modules.

hi,
i tried restoring your backup but it saus: error while restoring /system
i downloaded your file, put it in the backup folder, flashed boot.img and erased cache, then restored back-up
edit: also did a full wipe, same problem

Flash also the recovery.img to be sure you are using the same one as it is made with
And also enter mounts and storage and format all except sdcard

i flashed the recovery but I guess I had to do it after the backup was restored?
now i have a red triangle screen when i want to boot into recovery..
that was stupid i know... so what do i do now?

No no no.......
Flash the recovery.img from the nandroid backup folder, flash the boot.img from the backup folder. Make a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage-format cache,data,system
Then restore the nandroid backup and THEN restore the stock recovery i gave you in that separate link !

Sorry but still have a problemo
it says my android versions is 4.1.1 but there is a 4.2 for this device no?
When I ask for update it says there are no updates available...
I thought it would be completely back to stock and able to receive updates?

Yes but there is indeed no further update at this moment

Can I jump in here as Mr Hofs seems to have a lot of knowledge.
I did a restore of my One-X to stock rom according to this tutorial.
http://design-extreme.net/restore-htc-one-x-to-stock-rom/
This all went well and without problems. The RUU I flashed is this one.
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed
When I now startup the phone it all works perfect. Then the phone says there is an OTA (to 3.20 I believe)
I download and install the OTA and the phone restarts, but after restarts the phone's touchscreen does not work anymore.
I solved this for now by installing the 3.14RUU again, then it works again. But of course I would like to be able to install the OTA's
To me it sounds like a driver problem in the new version that prevents the touchscreen from working. You or anyone else have idea how to solve this?

Flash the recovery.img from the nandroid backup first. Then make a full wipe and restore the nandroid. That will solve the restore error.

[Q] IMEI number is 0 after flashing ROM=No signal

Found the imei number under the battery of the phone. But I need help changing it. Cant find a guide for LGG3, can someone help me?
And yes, I did do a backup, but it just rebooted to TWRP and nothing happened after that. So now I Unbricked using lgg3root site, still 0 though :/

means your EFS corrupted, I really hope you backed it up!

Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329. If you dont have a backup you may be in serious trouble

I will need to root and install twrp again. But like a said in the first post after restore the phone it rebooted to twrp and i could not get out of twrp without flashing another rom... but i will try my luck again.
I will be happy to donate a litt cash your way if you can help me

First thing you want to do is take the whole back up folder and COPY it to your pc incase you wipe it or muck up re-bumping the TWRP

Thanks! Good advice. I installed TWRP, but after i restored it booted up in TWRP again. How do i get it to boot up as normal?

There is a thread in dev section to solve when you are stuck in twrp.

Try to watch on what file it is switching off, then delete it from backup and try to restore again.

Untick System Image (not system) in TWRP menu
