Nandroid backup/Revolutionary IO

A nandroid is a back-up of your phones software at the time that you do the nandroid, so if you have a custom rom on your phone and do a nandroid then that's what gets backed up, it's just like a restore point on a computer. Root your phone and then do a nandroid and then you will have that back-up in case you need to return the phone to stock <or to the last rom you was using in case you want to return to the last rom you was running> and take it in for service, really the most important part of the nandroid back-up is the backing up of your wimax keys <4g keys> because those can't be replaced, , and that's done when you nandroid the phone. It's not part of the rooting process so like I said after you have ran Revolutionary and rooted your phone boot the phone into recovery and do a nandroid and then feel free to start flashing custom roms. |

What should I do if i already flashed a rom on my device. I did backup the original software but I have never run the nandorid backup. is that something I can do now or should do now?

Like KIOWA said-its a failsafe/restore point in the event something goes wrong when you flash a custom ROM or a mod. You can flash a custom ROM and then back THAT up if you want before trying mods or themes on it. Backup as often as you wish but those backups are large files and will fill your SD card quickly. You really only need to keep one on your card, Custom or Stock, as a safety net. Nands come in real handy when it comes to themes. You can have your un-themed ROM backed up and then try themes on it. Dont like the theme? Then restore your backup and start over. |
