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:



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"

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
