Question [Q]Nandroid Backup...

On my stock rooted ROM, after wiping data, cache and dalvik cache, I've created a Nandroid Backup.

My question is, if someone restores this backup to there phone, which is the same as mine, will it have any of my information, or could it possibly cause any problems?

I was simply going to upload it, so that if anybody has any problems installing the latest OTA or hasn't got a working Nandroid backup, they can use it.

Em well first off, if you done the wipe data ect first then you will not have a NANDROID Backup as there is nothing there to back up,

Second i wouldn't recommend anyone but yourself use the back up but if its between friends ect from with in the phone in settings go to factory reset and that way your data will be clear for the most part and safe to share with friends you trust in-case anything is left behind but i would not release to public in any capacity and then proceed to create your NANDROID backup from within your recovery app.

If you really had to do it that way, you would want to create a NANDROID backup for yourself, reboot your phone go to settings factory reset, then boot back to recovery make another NANDROID Backup (This one for Friends clear of your data)

The whole point of me doing the wipe data etc first, was to clear any personal data from the phone.

The Nandroid backup was so that there was a working stock rooted rom.

My question should have been does it keep any data that cannot be manually deleted. e.g. Serial numbers etc....But I think I found the answer. Apparently it does and it can cause problems when restoring.

The only reason I was going to do it was because, I have seen a couple of people using the HTC One X, that are trying to get from stock rooted 1.26, to stock rooted 1.28 and this backup would get them there.

Smile Backup

If you take the boot.img and system.img from your backup and then use dsixda's kitchen to create a flashable rom.

dsixda's Kitchen Here - h t t p ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227549
(remove the spaces, can't post links yet lol) its the download and tutorial

There should be no information or data in your output rom so anyone can use it etc
