Can anyone confirm if the nand backup includes the system/lib  dir?

I used unyaffs.exe on my system.img backup and the lib dir was not extracted, i wasn't sure if it's unyaffs failing or the nand backup?

Cheers,

Hi, i did all above, but now while pressing the power button and the track ball gives me the "old" bootloader.
Any help?

EDIT. I think i found it. You need to enter RECOVERY from the menu.

Hopefully someone might be able to help.  My Haptic Feedback/Vibrate was broken since I took it out of the box - didn't really notice since I normally have it turned offf anyway.  HTC have said they will replace my handset  - I did ask about unlocked bootloader but the support guy didn't really understand - anyway he has sent me the label for the package and the uPS truck will collect on Monday for me.  Now I'm hoping because its hardware, that if everything is stock except for the Unlocked bootloader they will replace for me anyway.  -

I have a stock Rom from Paul, but I've flashed this excellent recovery image - Do you have a stock recovery that I can flash back to stock with?  I know the stock recovery still has an Apply Update.zip option so was going to change the recovery back using ADB, then flash the unrooted stock ROm and should be all good - Hope you or someone can help.  

Brilliant stuff and I will be flashing your recovery back onto my new nexus hopefully when it arrives.

Edit - Got the stock recovery from the Stock Rom with seperate images

Is it possible that the md5 checksum not matches?

hardly. i can not check the rapidshare one, because their servers are overloaded. but the one i downloaded some time ago matches the quoted checksum.
i would not risk flashing an invalid recovery.img, better download again

I've been looking for the original recovery image as I want to remove this one (as I believe thats how it works), does anyone have a link ? Thanks !

p.s. I'm using a mac and when I try extracting some of the files from the images here (22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-images.zip), it gives me an error message that its unable to extract.

EDIT : HANG ON - Sorted. Used a Windows machine !

Does Nandroid backup/restore the radio too ?

no, it does not.
just boot, data and system partitions.

[ludo218]

Thanks, it's what I thought, but as radio is not mentioned in the 1st post I wanted to be sure

radio is not something you reflash that often, except with the nexus 3g errors maybe
but it would not make much sense to backup/restore it automatically.

[Evil Kaz]

is there a mirror? Rapid share link not working.

paul is gone snowboarding... but amon_ra could edit it himself...

[haf]

I would like to move A2SD...

In 1.6.2, if you select move apps + dalv to SD, must you then run a ROM from the kitchen with A2SD enabled for it to properly work?  Or do you just run a rooted ROM like MCR 2.0 for example?  I'm just confused on the order of doing this properly.

[haf]

Update - have just updated to MCR v2 and all is good
