1) Place nandroid backup files into a directory on sdcard:
/nandroid/mem=211M/stock/
2) Boot into recovery (Send Call + Volume Up - while phone turns on)
3) Go to Backup/Restore.
4) Select Nand restore
5) Select mem=211M
6) Select folder named "stock"
7) Proceed with on screen instructions

Okay I put the 5 files on my sd card. I booted into clockwork mod and I pressed back and restore but there is no option for "nand restore". So I pressed "restore" and it says no files are found.

?????

yeah i just figured that out now it says to put the file in a specific lication wich i cant find ne idea where it is?

1) Place nandroid backup files into a directory on sdcard:
/nandroid/mem=211M/stock/

Im having the same problem.

I copy and pasted that folder name but it doesnt let you post slashes.

so i just named it nandroid and still nothing happened.

use this method instead and after you finish you will have to install CWM again.

you didn't flash cwm 2.1.5.8 right. it should be a black and green theme with Clokwork Mod 2.1.5.8 at the top and bottom in white text.

 

[twstde]

When I try to flash back to stock
from the zip file, I always get that the process is aborted. I am running cwm 3.x, should I be running the 2.x cwm? If so, I can't figure out how to successfully flash back to the older cwm. I have Cricket by the way. Thanks!

 

[Anduiril]

Try downloading the zip again. You may have gotten a corrupted download.

Ok, I have downloaded two different zip files & it happens on both, but I will re-download, thanks.

 

[CuzzinRed]

I tried the anim mod and my phone kept trying to reboot. I thought my sugar turned to sh*t. I almost took it to Crickets store but reading your guide saved my phone & sanity. Muchos Gracias!!



ps stay away from Anim mod! you heard it here first like MTV..

[PlayfulGod]

Where does it say to unzip it

 

[londonstylz]

it rells you to run the file that corresponds to your o.s. but the files are zipped into one file. has anyone else had this problem.
