Nandroid backup what exactly backs up

**davidva** · 11-15-2010, 10:03 AM

Hi all,
just recently got a droid phone for my wife and I and was wondering about installing the theultimatedroid / Slayher's 1.2Ghz LV kernel.

When i do a nandroid backup( i am not rooted yet) does it also back up the kernel as well and all text's /emails' etc so i can go back to stock if i wish.

Also I am on Windows 7-64bit , is my best bet to root Super one click from that unlockr site?

Thanks in advance,

a nandroid backup basically takes a snapshot of your system at the time you make the backup. restoring a nandroid will take your device back exactly to that point

Thanks. I was wondering this also. I have been using Rom Manager to do backups. Any difference there? Or, is it doing the same thing, using an app, where nandroid can be done from the recovery console.

They both are the same.

If your new ROM doesn't do it automatically for you...you will have to re-download them through the market.

No it does not back up the Kernel or radio just the state of the ROM
