Nandroid Backup

In case you are not quite tech savvy and have been hearing the term “Nandroid backup”, you probably must be getting confused and perplexed even more. Well, in a simpler term, Nandroid backup is a highly convenient back up option, which very carefully backs up the systems complete internal memory along with all the related apps, ROM, and other correlated features. You also can very conveniently restore it just in case you come across a destructed ROM, or kernel, etc.

This backup is actually not similar to other apps such as the titanium backup and in fact has a completely different system and well equipped. If you take the backup at the right time then it can be a complete savior for you, saving your important data from getting lost or damaged. This is basically the back up system of the Android OS (operating system) from the NAND memory of the phone and this gets saved in the storage card slot.

This is the reason why it is generally suggested to have your phone’s proper NAND backup just before you even think of flashing inside a new ROM. This step is important and must be completely followed as because, if something goes wrong, the phone can move back to the previous working condition.

Just before you start off with the restore or the Nandroid backup process, remember that it is important for you to root up your phone, and get the Clockwork Recovery installed. Make a note that, the backup for this entire process moves to the SD card, and this is the reason why the SD card must have enough free space so that the phone’s entire contents of the phone memory get restored.

One of the safest, easiest and most convenient ways of performing the Nandroid backup is by systematically utilizing the ROM manager. This is basically a free Android App, which can be easily downloaded from the Android Market. One can use it while running over Android to schedule operations so as to perform it in recovery.

It also offers a GUI through which one can easily install ROMs and at the same time perform, manage and restore the backups. This does not by itself, exercises the procedure, and rather reboots the device into recovery, soon after the action had been timely scheduled, finally automatically performing it through the recovery.

Hence, the Nandroid backup is nothing but the duplicate copy of your phone. Just in case you are clear with ideas such as cloning or creation of ghost image of the computer hard drive, then this is just a similar operation like that. It is not just having the complete back up of your entire email and contact list, but at the same time having an entire copy of everything.

Stock and Custom ROMS

A stock ROM is the version of the phone's operating system that comes with your phone when you buy it.

A custom ROM is a fully standalone version of the OS, including the kernel (which makes everything run), apps, services, etc - everything you need to operate the device, except it's customized by someone in some way.

So what does the "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.

Why You Want Custom ROMs?

Update Frequency

Using a custom ROM usually results in more frequent updates that fix bugs and introduce new features because the developer behind the ROM doesn't have the same procedures and red tape that the manufacturer+carrier combo does.

-A quality update can be churned faster because it doesn't involve the bureaucracy of 30 different project managers, 15 vice presidents, and 5 dozen marketing departments.

-A ROM developer usually gains a loyal community which beta tests his updates in real life situations and provide feedback, or even fixes bugs - that's the beauty of open source software.

-Finally, most custom ROMs out there are updateable over the air (OTA) and without reinstalling anything.

Who doesn't love open source after this?

Better Performance And Efficiency

Custom ROMs are oftentimes faster, more efficient, and use less memory because

-the developer ripped out useless garbage, such as carrier installed apps or

-the developer optimized the kernel. For example, an undervolted kernel can provide a much better battery life than the stock one.

Ability To Install Apps To The SD Card

Most custom ROMs nowadays come with the ability to install applications to the SD card, called Apps2SD (or A2SD).

This is currently not possible on stock ROMs, even in Android 2.1 and is supposedly on Google's TODO list.

If you have run out of space on your phone (which I have repeatedly on my Hero), Apps2SD is a killer feature to have.

The Downsides Of Custom ROMs

Of course, there are dangers of using custom ROMs which you should be aware of.

Something Could Go Wrong

First of all, something may go wrong with the flashing process (that's the process of installing the ROM) and leave your phone in a bricked state. The chances of this are pretty low nowadays, and most of the time you can restore it back to normal.

Try to go for the ROM that has been tested by time and has lots of positive feedback.

Clean Wipe

In order to install a custom ROM, you need to perform a clean wipe.

Potential Problems

Custom ROMs could have bugs… but then so do the stock ones.

However, in case you do find a bug, you actually have a 2-way channel of reporting it - post in the ROM forum and you will more than likely get an answer back and your bug acknowledged.

Try doing this to your phone manufacturer and see if you can get past the first level of outsourced monkeys, let alone actual developers.

You May Void Your Warranty

Remove Sim Lock [Openline SGY]

What is SIM-LOCK?

Sim-lock, SP-lock, “coding” - all these words have similar meaning: a programmed limit in the phone to work with a single network. A sim lock allows a network provider to prevent handsets from being used on other GSM networks. Usually those handsets are sold with a discount, and the provider covers the price difference. The handset stays inside the same network and within a year pays back the expenses of the service provider.

SIM-LOCK could be installed by the manufacturing or distributing company. The network provider orders some quantity of handsets from manufacturer. The producing company supplies the phones along with the SIM-LOCK removing codes. The physical sense of Sim-lock: there is a unique MCC/NCC code of the country and network saved in the SIM-Card. Phone detects those codes when it's powered on. If they have coincided, the telephone works normally, other ways on display appears the following massage: “Invalid SIM” or “Enter the SIM-Lock code”. There are some other methods of coding the handsets, but the considered above – is the most widespread.

How legal is to remove a sim lock ?

The legality of the SIM-Lock removing procedure depends on the law of the country. Some countries don't have a strict law that directly forbids this act. It could be declared as “An invasion into informative technologies”. But from another side, the person that bought the phone is allowed to do with it everything. For example: if you have a TV that supports only one standard of the incoming signal. Nobody can take you to the court if you will install a multi system receiver on it. You can modify it in the way you like. The only thing you will lose is warranty cover. It could be explained in different way, depends on the lawyer.

It gets a different sense when it comes to the illegal export of the mobile devices. They could come legally only from the manufacturers or the official distributors.

Off course GSM service providers are loosing the profits, when the handsets, sold by the 10% of the original price, are crossing the networks.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Khizar Amin:
help this noob please

ok.. some of you may consider my questions totally stupid but please help if you can

i am using my stock rom and firmware and use temporary cwm by doky when needed

i wanted to flash the unofficial CM7 and some kernel with init.d support..

now my questions are

1. Can i revert back to stock rom by formatting system and recovering it through nandroid backup of stock rom (after i have flashed custom rom)

2. Can i revert back to stock firmware and kernel after flashing a custom kernel?? if so how??

3. i have partitioned my sd card but when i try to mount it via cwm to format it.. it says mount error,, same is case with its backup.. any solution??

4. if i flash permanent cwm.. is there any way to revert to stock recovery??

P.S the odin flashable package of my stock rom isn't available in doky's thread

i am using stock rom

with baseband s5360XXKK7

kernel version 2.6.35.7

root@DELL132#1

Build number is GINGERBREAD.JPKK2

CSC is JPKK1
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Kousthubha Kumar:
In super su, go to options and

Click full unroot. Then update super user and then check root

Go to cwm, go to advanced and click partition sd card and give limits for 2nd and swap partition and done

1) Yes you can. But not recommended, use odin flashing method to restore to stock rom. Check doky73 thread in development for that and 2nd post for instructions

2) Same procedure as above if you want to fully flash the stock rom including kernel

3) Are you trying to mount the 2nd partition? Mounting it don't work in cwm yet. Are you using Merruk cwm? If yes you need to click mount system in mounts and storage everytime you flash or restore or backup or do anything.

4) Follow the first step to do it. It's the only way for that

Switch off (battery)

Hey guys. I'm new to android phones and was just wondering what happend. Before I slept, my phone had 28% charging left and then it was not used. So after I woke up , after 12 and a half hours, so I checked my phone nd the battery was dead. So I connected the charger and the phone then turned on so then I clicked on battery usage and the most battery was used by cell stansby which was 46% and underneath it was written used by cell radio nd underneath the time on was 16 hours 5 mins. So guys y dis my phone turn off?

Additiinal details: phone standby 46% , phone idle 34%, display 14%, wifi 7%. That's it. so y did the phonw turn off?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] yashsgr:
Android phones have a drawback of battery drain.. It gets discharged fast.. This is a normal thing for android.. Ur cell was switched on when u slept.. It was connected to network.. It needs to communicate with the network i.e. For calls and msgs n all.. And if u have active data plan in ur phone then it uses the battery too much.. U can make sure that data packet, bluetooth, wifi, gps & sync, are off when u go to slp as u dont need them.. These things use up too much battery.. Even without these, android phones have small battery life.. Even live wallpapers use a lot of battery and u should decrease ur brightness when possible.. U can try these and ur battery will run longer.. Hit thanks if i helped! :)

You can't bake it. You need to flash a init.d working kernel. I'm not sure if any kernel works with stock rom. Check out whites and merruk kernels, they might work on stock kernel. Ask the query in those threads as I'm not sure.

Yes it is compatible. Check the same thread on android development. You need a init.d working kernel to run those tweaks
