[Q] Format system/boot

[watitta]

I want to know if i format system and format boot my defy in clockwork mod,will it brick my phone?
Because I want to fresh recovery nandroid to undo the camera fix patch.

Sorry for my poor English

Yes, brick.
I dont know exactly how clockworkmod recovery works but If you have a /system/ with 100 files and you restore a nandroid wich only contains 50 files, you end up with a system with only 50 files, restoring nandroid is like restoring exactly as it was before the backup.

Anyway i think there's something nandroid doesnt backup and its /boot or kernel partition im not sure, (thats why ROM developers ask you to flash a full SBF and then their nandroid) or ask you to install fixed-sbf (20mb or so) after a nandroid.

I have 2.51 backup nandroid and fix sbf for it.
Can it work?

If your current system version is the same as the nandroid backup, you can simply restore the nandroid. There is no need to wipe or flash boot-fix sbf.

Your phone may not boot if you restore a nandroid backup of incompatible version, say you restore 2.1 on a 2.2 rom. But your phone is not bricked as you can flash and/or restore the correct nandroid and/or sbf to fix it.

If i format system and format boot then wipe and flash froyo sbf with rsd-lite,Can it possibly work?

If you are going to flash an sbf file, you just need to wipe. Trying to format system and boot would be useless, as the sbf will overwrite both.
