NANDROID Backup / Restore Without cwm for any android device

In this tutorial you won't need CWM to create NANDROID backups or restore them, also without rebooting the device to backup :)

Backup:

Requirements:

1- Terminal emulator application from playstore (Or adb shell from pc)

2- PC

3- Onandroid backup script with mkyaffs2image binary (check downloads below)

4- Enough free memory on memory card

5- Make sure your device is in usb debugging mode

Steps:

1- extract Onandroid.zip and run install_onandroid.bat

2- run terminal emulator or adb shell from pc and type the following without quotes:

   "su"

   "onandroid"

Then wait and it will take a nandroid backup on the sdcard

DATA IMAGE WILL BE CORRUPTED IF YOU HAVE A SECOND SDCARD PARTITION THAT IS TOO BIG BECAUSE SECOND PARTITION IS MOUNTED INSIDE "/data/"

Restore

Requirements:

1- Pc wth Adb and Fastboot (check downloads if you need them)

Steps:

1- Copy backed up files to Adb and fastboot folder

2- Run command prompt then type:
  "adb reboot-bootloader"
  "fastboot flash system system.yaffs2.img"      for system image

OR
  "fastboot flash data data.yaffs2.img"

Downloads:

Onandroid.zip

AdbFastboot.zip

Tips:

To backup system partition only type:

  "onandroid -a"

then type:

  "s"

without quotes.

or type:

  "d"

if you want to backup data partition only



Thanks to ameer dawood for providing onandroid script

[CWM] Motorola Fire xt311/6/7

Hey Motorola Fire owners!
Here's ClockWorkMod for our beloved QWERTY phone [With nandroid backup minor issues]

Any damages, you're responsible of it.

The Steps:

1- Download busybox from playstore, i prefer stericson's one, install busybox binary.
2- Download Pimp My Rom from playstore, open it, click > Universal init.d support, then click > activate
3- Download latest zip (bootmenu 3-12-12.7z)
4- Extract it, and run Install-boot-menu.bat
If you want to know what the script does:


-Then Reboot
Now focus, while you're seeing motorola logo, the capacitive keys' leds will light up at certain timing, quickly press VOL- button before the lights go off, if you later, don't want to boot to bootmenu, just don't press the VOL- button, the phone will boot normally to system

To restore backed up nandroid system.yaffs2.img

In terminal emulator or adb shell type:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS/
md5sum *.img > nandroid.md5

Where <YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS> is the folder of your backup.
Then go to cwm again and restore ( i prefer advanced restore > system )

Or with fastboot: By typing: "fastboot flash system system.yaffs2.img"

Latest Update!

Updated theme for xt311/xt316

 And i also replaced the progress bar from this: 

To this:

Just replace the old framework-res.apk with THIS ONE

Notification led app fix for all third party apps [NotifyLed.apk] Motorola fire

Heyy! xt530, xt531, xt316, xt311, xt532, xt317 users! (maybe more)

Thanks to a Spanish xt316 blog/forum taringa.net I found that

NOW YOUR NOTIFICATION LED (ONLY BLUE) WILL WORK WITH ANY APP, NOT ONLY SMS, MISSED BATTERY LOW!

 I tested it and it works with whatsapp, facebook, twitter, facebook messenger, light flow << light controlling app that allows you to control the speed of the blinking that works perfectly, exept for "always on" option

Just replace NotifyLed.apk with this one in attachments

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My extra mod:
Removed Batterylow, Missed call, New sms/mms blinking, so you can re add them *IF YOU NEED THEM* with Light flow
i did so in my own new apk for those who hate battery low blinking
or those who want to change the blinking speed for Mms/Missed call via light flow, the old apks would conflict with them.
also because when the battery is 15% or lower and for example you have a whatsapp notification it won't blink because of the battery low blinking already

Press thanks if i helped, pointing you to the apk
