Root How many Nandroids are on your EVO?

how many nandroid backups do you currently have on your EVO?

An UrgeTo Dance · Apr 20, 2011

Between two to four on the Evo, over 37 or so on my computer.

Like someone else said in another thread, I tend to build from scratch rather than load up a really old NANDroid.

But I do keep old ones with significance, like right after I first rooted on 2.1, right after I got the froyo upgrade stable, and the latest equivalent of OTA. That's 3.

Then I have one called "current" which is self explanatory, and one more, which is usually the ROM I'm testing out. I end up deleting it when I decide it's not a keeper.

FYI....while ROMs are in the 200mb range(Sense), nandroids can go almost all the way to a full gig.....usually in the 600-800mb range though. SO storing Nandroids on your SD card can take up a ton of space.....js....

6 on the phone...well over 100 on the pc...

prolly going to clear some off though...out of hard drive space

just two.. the original HTC rom and Kings GB R2 (<== best rom I've tried to date)

Pft, I don't make nandroid backups. I like to live dangerously.

Just kidding. I have about 6 right now, which is more than usual.

I think a much more enlightening poll question would be:

"If it weren't for your NANDroid backup(s), how many times would your phone be permanently bricked?

For most of us, I think that number would be too high to recall

And whenever I start tinkering with custom ROMs, I take off my otterbox case. Cause I know I'm going to bootloop/crash it at some point and will need to pull the battery.

I guess it's too much to ask for a hardware reset, like power + vol-down anytime during the phone's operation...

I keep the most previous nandroid on my phone.. I move all others to my desktop computer for safe keeping

MizzouBrent · Apr 21, 2011

I usually only try to keep 2 or 3 on my phone. Most of them that I make, I end up not even going back to them, so I don't bother keeping. With that said, I probably need to make a fresh one and get it on my laptop. My laptop copies are all kind of old.

I'm pretty sure your phone can only be permanently bricked once, and if that's the case, a nandroid isn't going to help you

. But I know what you meant

one, of my current rom/kernel in a working state. Lots on the PC.

Drew5150 · Apr 21, 2011

I try to keep it under 4 on my card and really only keep 2 hanging around.

1. as a base rom install and basic settings and apps. just so can go back to square 1 if i decided I don't like what I flashed over.

2. my current custom set up for themes, kernals or whatever just in case something crashes.

if it goes higher then those 2 its because i'm testing things out.

Granite1 · Apr 22, 2011

I keep my 1st stock and my most current rom. Thats all I think I need really. I used to save em all to my pc, but after a couple months I noticed I never used the old ones any more. So I quit putting all those nandroids on my pc, just a copy of the most recent.

If I try arom and want to play a little more I'll keep it on my sd for a couple days, then delete once playtime is over.

marquisdee1018 · Apr 22, 2011

I keep 4 on my phone

toomuchgame441 · Apr 22, 2011

I have just 2, the original when I first rooted and a nandroid of my current build. I have probably close to a dozen on my PC

rjd728 · Apr 22, 2011

5 at the moment.....MIUI, MikFroyo, Virus, Cyanogen and Ultimate Droid
