Nandroid question
Does Nandroid backup your radio ? I'm a little confused as to what Nandroid backs up and what it doesn't.

Re: Nandroid question
Yes, it's a complete copy of what you have on your phone now.
Example - You have a stock sprint rom, not rooted, Radio 1.32.651.1, every sound customized, 4 email accounts, 10 apps you installed, and some crazy wallpaper w/ a fat purple cat. So you make a nandroid backup. Then you decide to full-root your phone and install OMJ's latest rom 1.6r which has the new OTA included and the latest Radio 2.05.00.06.10. Then, you decide you don't like it, so you do a nandroid restore. You will be back at a stock sprint rom, not rooted, Radio 2.05.00.06.10, every sound customized, 4 email accounts, 10 apps you installed, and some crazy wallpaper w/ a fat purple cat. (notice the radio did not get restored) Basically, it will revert back to whatever was on the backup. Keep in mind that it does not reverse the affects of the latest OTA that prevent you from rooting the phone. If someone did the OTA recently, restoring a nandroid backup won't undo that. Edit - I fixed my post. Winmonewbie told me he didn't think the radio restored. I justed tested it by restoring an old rom and it did not affect the radio. Thanks winmo. |

When you rooted your phone with part 1, you changed an img file. I think it's the "hboot_0.79.0000.img" or the "boot.img" file but I'm not sure. Anyways, that is what allowed you to have root access. Then if you did the Full-Root you also changed the recovery.img. If you're rooted and you have the correct recovery.img, you have total control. The OTA re-writes the files you changed in part 1 of rooting. So, you can no longer change part 1 and therefore can't get to part 2. If you do the OTA, I don't know if you can do a Nandroid restore. I would assume "No." However, even if you did do a Nandroid restore, the files needed to have root access wouldn't be changed. You'd be stuck w/ whatever version of those files the OTA gave you. Hope that's clear as mud. |

OTA is Over The Air Update. You didn't do the OTA. You got a custom rom that includes the files from the OTA. :thumbright: Personally, I think we should refer to the actual update from Sprint as the OTA and the update you can do yourself either through a custom rom or just flashing the incremental update as the 1.47.651.1 (or 147 for short) so we could eliminate confusion. OTA = You got screwed by Sprint. Hope you got a dinner out of it and ordered the lobster. #-o 147 = You did some research, have the same benefits as OTA and you're still in control of your phone.=D> If someone has full-root, they can install a custom rom w/ 147 and it's fine. The problem only happens if they accept the OTA pushed to their phone from Sprint. Let me make one thing very clear in this post in case anyone decides to skim through this thread w/o reading everything... Whatever anyone chooses to call it, if you accept the update sent to your phone from Sprint, make no mistake, you WILL LOSE ROOT ACCESS and currently there is no fix. Please stop PM'ing me for help after you did the OTA and stop sending me messages on my youtube videos asking for the same help. /rant Sorry, had to get that out. Because I made the video/thread about rooting some people think I can fix them now. :joker: |
